Chapter 546 Family Trip to Ghana (1)
Ghana is a tropical country, and during this season, the average temperature in the capital Accra is around 24 to 26 degrees Celsius, making it a great place to visit with children.
Accra is the world's largest port city, and the hotel Fu Siyan booked was the most luxurious hotel in the area. The family room faced the sea and had a spacious balcony with a relaxing ocean view. There was a small swing hanging under a gazebo covered with roses, and there were also stone tables and wooden chairs for afternoon tea.
The sound of the waves never ceased, ships were docking in the distance, and people on the pier were still busy with their lives.
We arrived at the hotel at 6:10 PM local time.
The hotel manager personally greeted the family of four.
Shen Qingshu said this trip was just a normal vacation, and told Fu Siyan not to make any other plans, as she had already prepared the itinerary.
Fu Siyan naturally listened to her. Except for the hotel and car rental, which he arranged in advance, he really left all the other arrangements to Shen Qingshu.
...
After arriving at the room, the staff left.
The two children are eight years old and will officially start primary school this September. They have made great progress in self-care.
As soon as Nian'an entered the room, she took the initiative to pull her suitcase into the children's room, opened the suitcase, and began to organize the clothes she had brought.
Not tall enough? No problem. He moved a chair over, stood on it, and hung up the clothes one by one.
"Xiao Anning!" Nian'an called out as she walked out of the room, "Bring your suitcase in!"
Little Anning ran in from the sea-view balcony, her delicate face beaming with excitement. "Nian'an, that balcony is so pretty! It has such a big flower gazebo!"
The little girl drew a big circle in the air with her two chubby white arms. "Come and see!"
"Never mind, go have fun." Nian'an walked to Xiao Anning's pink suitcase, pulled the handle, and said, "I'll help you pack."
"Thank you, Nian'an, you're the best brother in the world!"
“I already told you, I’m the older brother!” Nian’an frowned and emphasized again seriously, “I’m a head taller than you now, so remember to call me older brother at school.”
"But I am the older sister! Boys are naturally taller than girls. I was born a few minutes before you, so I am the older sister!"
"No, I left before you!"
"No, it's because I was taller!" Xiao Anning frowned. "You can't take advantage of me just because you're taller than me!"
Nian'an: "..."
Who really got the better deal?
"If you don't believe me, go ask Mom and Dad." Nian'an pulled her suitcase and turned around haughtily. "So many girls in my class want me to be their older brother. You don't know how lucky you are, hmph!"
"Hmph, I don't believe you, I'll go ask Dad!"
Xiao Anning snorted coldly, turned around and ran towards the master bedroom.
She turned the doorknob and pushed open the master bedroom door. "Dad, Nian'an said—"
On the sofa, Shen Qingshu hurriedly pushed Fu Siyan away and raised her hand to tidy her somewhat messy long hair.
Fu Siyan coughed lightly, walked up to Xiao Anning, and gently patted the top of her head with his large hand. "Xiao Anning, what's wrong?"
Xiao Anning glanced at her mother, then looked up at her father.
The bigger those beautiful, bright eyes grew, the more they resembled Shen Qingshu, with her father Fu Siyan's face reflected in their pupils.
"Dad, were you and Mom kissing just now?"
Fu Siyan: "..."
Shen Qingshu: "..."
Fu Siyan squatted down and said calmly, "You're mistaken. Mom got sand in her eye, and Dad just checked it for her."
"Really?" Little Anning tilted her head, blinked, and pointed her delicate little finger at Fu Siyan's lips. "But Daddy, your lips are red!"
Fu Siyan: "..."
He raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth.
Shen Qingshu coughed lightly, pulled out a tissue and handed it to him, "It's on the left."
Fu Siyan smiled, took the tissue to wipe his mouth, and looked at her, "Is there any more?"
Shen Qingshu felt so embarrassed that she could hardly keep up her motherly facade. She raised her hand to cover her face and sighed, "It's clean now."
"Hehe!" Little Anning covered her mouth, looking at Fu Siyan with a mischievous grin, "Daddy, I actually saw it all! You and Mommy were kissing just now!"
"..."
The child's voice was clear and innocent, making the two adults even more embarrassed!
Being caught in this situation by their child, especially their youngest daughter, made them feel ashamed, but more than that, they were worried about the potential negative impact their actions might have on her.
"Dad, Mom, don't be shy. Our kindergarten teacher told us a long time ago that when parents kiss, it's because they love each other, which is a good thing. But only parents can kiss; other children can't imitate it!"
Fu Siyan and Shen Qingshu exchanged a glance.
Shen Qingshu got up, walked over to Xiao Anning, squatted down, and touched her little face. "Daddy and Mommy have a good relationship. Are you happy, Xiao Anning?"
"Of course!" Xiao Anning nodded. "The teacher said that the better the relationship between parents, the more they will love their children!"
The little brain is as clever as ever.
Shen Qingshu felt that with her daughter's intelligence, there was no need to worry too much.
She has an innocent and straightforward side, but she also has her own little schemes.
“Xiao Anning is right.” Shen Qingshu smiled gently and asked her, “Why were you in such a hurry to find your parents? Is something wrong?”
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Xiao Anning suddenly remembered the important matter. "Mom, Nian An insisted that he was the older brother! But I remember he's a year younger than me, he should be the younger brother!"
Shen Qingshu paused for a moment, then turned to look at Fu Siyan.
Fu Siyan smiled and looked at his daughter seriously, saying, "Xiao Anning, Nian'an is not wrong. He is indeed the older brother because he was born a few minutes earlier than you."
"Huh?" Xiao Anning frowned. "Isn't he a year younger than me? Why is it still a few minutes early?"
It was indeed Fu Siyan and Shen Qingshu who were negligent in this matter.
"This is Dad's fault."
Fu Siyan took the initiative to explain to his daughter.
"Because when Mom gave birth to you, Dad didn't protect you well, so Nian'an was stolen by an uncle. When we first met Nian'an, we didn't know he was your lost brother. Also, Nian'an was sick when he was little, so his development was slower than yours, and he looks a year younger than you..."
Fu Siyan spoke in a gentle, slow voice, trying his best to explain the events from the birth of the two children to their recognition of each other in language that a child could easily understand.
After hearing Fu Siyan's explanation, Xiao Anning nodded as if she suddenly understood, "So Nian'an is a head taller than me not because he eats more than me, but because he is the older brother, right?"
Her focus made the two adults chuckle.
“Yes, because he’s the older brother.” Shen Qingshu smiled and patted her daughter’s head. “Actually, Nian’an knew a long time ago, but he saw that you really liked being the older sister, so he never told you.”
"He likes being the older brother now!" Xiao Anning pouted and said, "He just said that a lot of girls in our class want an older brother like him!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan and Shen Qingshu exchanged a glance.
As Nian'an has grown older over the past two years, her personality has become more and more composed, and her precocious characteristics have gradually become apparent.
Now, Nian'an unconsciously acts like an older brother to take care of Xiao Anning. Sometimes, when Xiao Anning doesn't do her homework seriously, he will sternly remind her.
Despite his young age, he is highly self-disciplined and has excellent self-care abilities.
In addition, under Jin Huaimin's care over the past two years, Nian'an's physical condition has improved significantly, and her height has visibly increased.
He was one of the tallest students in his class.
After hearing their youngest daughter's words, Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan realized that the little boy had also begun to show the competitive spirit of a young boy.
Fu Siyan gently patted his daughter's head, "Don't worry, Anning, your brother wouldn't want to be a brother to other girls. He will only ever be your brother."
"That's not right!" Xiao Anning emphasized, "What about Xiao Niannian? Dad, how could you forget about Xiao Niannian!"
