"However, we can sell coffee powder to foreigners. We'll sell it to them when we have the chance."
"Honey, should we go and cooperate with Pierre?"
"Not necessarily, we shouldn't get too involved with him."
If we attract the attention of his family, our peaceful lives will be over.
"That's true, unless Pierre actively requests to cooperate with us."
"Yes, that's right."
On Saturday, Zhuang Zhimeng deliberately stayed home and did not go to the park.
Everyone else was busy with their own things.
Fatty and Nao Nao greeted their friends at the intersection.
This is great, with over a dozen children in total, including my own.
Zhuang Zhimeng prepared snacks for the children, but since it was a bit cold, she didn't prepare any fruit.
Hello, Auntie.
Hello to you all.
"Fatty and Nao Nao, take your classmates to play! After watching the squirrels, come inside to play, don't catch a cold!"
"Okay, Mom."
Zhuang Zhimeng then greeted the parents who had brought their children over.
Would the parents like to sit down for a while?
Three of the children's parents were fathers who felt embarrassed to stay, so they dropped off their children and left.
The two mothers stayed.
Huo Siwen picked up her tea and took a sip.
"Mrs. An Shaozheng, my name is Huo Siwen. I've always wanted to get to know you. May I ask your name?"
"My name is Zhuang Zhimeng."
"I just want to ask you where An Shaozheng and the others bought their calligraphy practice books?"
I plan to buy a few for my son too.
Another parent, Ren Lianli, also chimed in at the opportune moment.
"I'm also planning to buy calligraphy practice books. Could you tell me the specific locations?"
"I bought it at the Xinhua Bookstore next to Dongfeng Market."
"I understand, so it can be bought at any Xinhua Bookstore, right?"
"Yes, you have to be persistent in practicing calligraphy. We initially stipulated that they had to practice every day."
"Sigh, it's not easy."
This child is spoiled by four elders; if we say anything even slightly harsh, we'll get scolded.
Huo Siwen also sighed.
"That's true. My child has poor self-control, and the elders spoil him too much. I don't know what to do."
"An Shaozheng's mother, how did you handle this?"
"I directly ask the children to do it, and if they can't do it, they keep doing it until they do it."
The elders in the family love them, but they never interfere in these kinds of matters.
"What if the children try to bargain when you make requests of them?"
"It's simple, just start with what they care about."
For example, they wanted to eat snacks, so they didn't finish their calligraphy practice.
Then I'll say I'll give it to you tomorrow. If it's not finished by tomorrow, I'll give it to you tomorrow. If it's still not finished, I'll give it to you a week later.
You have to keep your word. Don't give in just because he cries a couple of times.
If you don't give them any, the child will learn that they must complete the task to get a snack.
"That's a great idea, I'll try it out later."
"I'll go back and give it a try too."
The three looked at each other and smiled.
A group of children, oblivious to everything, were happily touching the squirrel.
Fatty made the suggestion.
"Let's go inside and play. The squirrels will be terrified. There are too many of us."
None of the five students objected, and a dozen or so children ran into the house.
After they all left, the fluffy creature ran out of the tree hole, took a big bite of a pine nut, and calmed its nerves.
The fluffy ball saw it laughing at it from below, and the furry thing got so angry that it grabbed a pine cone and threw it at the fluffy ball.
The furry ball kept barking and howling.
Zhuang Zhimeng looked at the two parents with embarrassment.
"I'm going out to take a look."
"Haha, let's go together."
The three of them almost doubled over with laughter as they left the house.
The furball was covered in pine cones, which were stuck to its fur.
Seeing its owner come out, it ran over looking aggrieved.
"Haha, fluffy ball, you've annoyed the fluffy thing again, haven't you? You never learn your lesson!"
"Woof woof woof".
"Alright, alright, I'll take it off for you."
Huo Siwen and Ren Lianli also helped pick the pine cones.
The fluffy creature was also planning to throw a fluffy ball.
Zhuang Zhimeng stared at it, and the fluffy thing finally stopped and started cracking pine nuts very quickly.
"Haha, An Shaozheng's mom, your squirrel and dog are quite interesting."
"Yeah, those two fight every day. They probably can't sleep well if they don't fight one day."
The two parents were amused.
When they returned home, they both said they would bring their child back to visit again if they had the chance.
The children also praised it highly.
I was very happy to be home.
An Qingbai asked again when he returned.
"How's your wife? Are you managing to entertain the parents all by yourself?"
"Hehe, of course no problem, there's no need for both of us to stay."
"Yes, a few of them are going to a classmate's house tomorrow. What should we do with the rest?"
"Let's take them to the Children's Palace and let them do some crafts."
"Okay, that makes four children on each side."
As a result, Fatty, Nao Nao, and Dou Dou didn't stay at their classmate's house for long before calling them.
"What's wrong? Weren't you guys playing at a classmate's house?"
"Mom, please come and pick us up quickly, we don't want to play at our classmates' place anymore."
"Okay, Mom will tell Dad that we'll come back to pick you up."
We picked up a few little ones.
Even after getting into the car, the four little ones were still sulking.
“Mom (Aunt), as soon as we went in, my classmate’s mom started banging and making noise, she didn’t want us to go at all.”
"Your classmate's mother from yesterday?"
"No, it's another classmate's mother."
He said he had some really cute little turtles at home, and he invited us to see them himself.
"It's obvious that your parents don't want you to go."
