Li Zichen's face was stern and serious. He shouted, "Li Xueyao! You can't talk to your aunt like that!"
Xu Jiaojiao, however, appeared nonchalant, casually waving her hand. Su Le pressed her hand down, his expression equally solemn, his gaze fixed on Li Xueyao sternly. Li Xueyao's mouth instantly pursed, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string. Only two drops fell as she stared intently at her parents. She felt aggrieved. Her aunt had always come to her wanting goodies from her mother, yet in the end, she was the one being blamed.
Seeing that her parents had no special reaction, Xu Jiaojiao quickly stepped forward, hugged Li Xueyao tightly, and comforted her softly: "Yaoyao, auntie knows you are joking. Auntie was just teasing you just now." However, Li Xueyao still pouted, staring at her parents stubbornly, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
Li Zichen said angrily, "Every time your aunt bought you something, even though you were reluctant at first, she always gave you a lot of fun toys in the end. Why don't you remember her kindness? Your aunt and your mother have been good friends for many years and have a deep friendship. She brought Sister Yi Yi to take care of you since you were a child. Have you forgotten all these things? She also bought you so many beautiful clothes. Did your aunt's money just blown away by the wind? Besides, when didn't we give you those things because you wanted to?"
Su Nuoyi quickly took out a tissue and gently wiped away the tears on Li Xueyao's face. He said to Li Zichen in a baby voice, "My sister is still young, uncle, please don't be angry."
Li Xueyao looked at Su Le pitifully with tears in her eyes. Su Le nodded slightly. Li Xueyao then said to Xu Jiaojiao in a tearful voice, "Aunt, I'm sorry."
Xu Jiaojiao hugged her tightly and said gently, "Auntie really won't buy your things this time. I know you're joking. Don't cry, dear."
Su Le waved gently at Li Xueyao and said gently, "Come here."
Li Xueyao slowly moved over and obediently walked to Su Le's side. Su Le gently wiped her tears and said earnestly: "My child, the elders are always the elders. No matter how close they are to you, they are still the elders. You must respect the elders when speaking to them. Otherwise, if outsiders hear them, they will say you have no manners. Do you understand?"
Li Xueyao nodded. In the Su family and the Li family, she had always been a treasure held in everyone's hands. Every relative cared for her very much, and her brothers and sisters always gave in to her. This made her unconsciously feel a little elated, and she felt that everyone's kindness to her seemed to be a matter of course.
Su Le patiently explained, "Elders may sometimes do things wrong, but as a junior, you shouldn't say certain things. You can tell Dad and me, and we'll talk to them. Mom and Dad are willing to stand by you and help you solve many problems, as long as you're right."
Li Xueyao wiped away her tears and lay quietly on Su Le's lap. Xu Jiaojiao sat next to Li Xueyao and said to Su Le, "The two children will be going to school soon, right?"
Su Le nodded, gently stroking Li Xueyao's back, and said, "Yeah, is Yi Yi still in the T area?"
Xu Jiaojiao nodded, and Su Nuoyi came over and took Li Xueyao to play nearby. "Aren't there relatives of my brother-in-law over there? Several of their children are in that school, and Yiyi always plays with them. They have a very good relationship."
Su Le looked at his son and daughter and said, "I'll ask them tonight where they plan to go to school. Let's go shopping together tomorrow. It's been a while since I've been with you. By the way, I'll prepare one for you once I've finished my research."
Xu Jiaojiao's face lit up with a bright smile. She gave Su Le a big, warm hug and said happily, "Le Le is still the best. Hahaha."
Su Le laughed along, and the two women chatted animatedly about clothes for a while. At this time, Li Zichen got up and washed some fruit for the three children.
Li Chuyang was still concentrating on reading the book. The farce just now did not seem to have any effect on him.
Li Zichen looked at the clock at home and prepared to go shopping for food. He had to cook dinner in the evening. "Wife, I'm going to buy food."
"Wait, I'm going too." Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly shouted. She quickly stood up and called Su Nuoyi, "Yi Yi, let's go."
Su Le thought it would be better for them to go together, so he said, "Let's go together. I really want to eat barbecue now. Why don't we go eat barbecue?"
Xu Jiaojiao and the three children's eyes suddenly lit up. Li Zichen nodded in agreement, and the group happily walked towards the barbecue restaurant in the mall.
Xu Jiaojiao sat down, watching the unfamiliar waiter place the menu in front of them, and couldn't help but reminisce about the past. "I remember when the barbecue restaurant first opened, everyone flocked to try it. The whole place was bustling and bustling. We had to have people from other restaurants come over to help. Now you can see several barbecue restaurants outside."
Su Le had noticed these changes when he passed by just now, and said with emotion: "Yes, we used to be the only one in the market, but now several companies are competing for a piece of the pie. Fortunately, we caught a good opportunity. Zhang Liang was also daring and hardworking back then, which is why we have the store we have now."
"Several young and old people are working very hard. I don't know any of the current employees, and I didn't go to their store manager's meeting." Xu Jiaojiao said as she looked at the store manager who was assigning tasks next to the counter.
"I don't know any of them either. In three months, I plan to take my two children out to see the outside world, wander around, and broaden their horizons." Su Le told Xu Jiaojiao his idea.
"Mom, I want to go too!" Su Nuoyi tugged at the corner of Xu Jiaojiao's clothes, his eyes full of anticipation.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at Su Nuoyi, shook her head and said, "You can't go, but Mom can go. You still have to go to school, and students should act like students."
Su Nuoyi lowered her head, looking lost. Li Xueyao embraced her and said to Li Chuyang, "Yangyang, you speak."
Li Chuyang said to Xu Jiaojiao seriously, "Aunt, we have finished preparing for the elementary school courses. We can teach Sister Yi Yi. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Daya."
(Li Chuyang was 6, Li Xueyao was 6. Li Daya was 8 at the time and is now 14, having started school relatively late.) She is now in the first grade of junior high school. She shares her elementary school textbooks with her younger siblings.
Xu Jiaojiao had always known that Li Chuyang and Li Xueyao were incredibly intelligent, reading books that Su Nuoyi couldn't comprehend. Some she could follow, others she couldn't grasp at all. What she didn't know was that Su Nuoyi was simply drinking diluted spiritual spring water, which was why he was so much smarter than the average person. This was completely different from Li Chuyang and Li Xueyao, who had absorbed a lot of spiritual spring water, and with the help of cheats, these two had already surpassed most people.
