"Why are you here?" Niu Guifang said unhappily, "I get scared when I see you walking around with such a big belly. Sit down, little girl. I'll do it right away! I'm not bragging, I'm an expert at making braised pork!"

Su Ruanruan smiled sweetly at Niu Guifang, "I believe in my sister-in-law!"

While Niu Guifang was cooking, Su Runrun called Hongya and her two siblings to the east room. After helping Xiao Zhengjun and Xiao Zhengqi finish their homework, she told them stories.

Information is relatively closed in this era.

Without the Internet, many books were not allowed to be read, and there were even fewer famous children's books from ancient and modern times that could be accessed.

Su Ruanruan could attract all three children's attention by just telling two stories.

The three of them stared at Su Runrun, not daring to be distracted at all, for fear that they would accidentally miss the most exciting part of the story.

Even until Niu Guifang called them to eat, the three of them still felt a little reluctant to leave.

Looking at the expressions on the three children's faces, Su Runrun smiled with her eyebrows curved.

"It's still early. After dinner, I'll finish telling you this story, okay?"

When the three siblings heard this, their eyes began to light up, "Okay!"

Niu Guifang looked at them with interest. "What's the story? It's so interesting?"

"It's an adventure story!" Hong Ya answered in a baby voice.

Hong Ya is not even five years old yet and doesn’t actually know what adventure is, but that doesn’t stop her from finding it interesting.

Xiao Zhengjun was older, already eight or nine years old, and at this moment he acted like a little adult, "Mom, wait until auntie finishes telling us, I'll go home and tell you."

"Okay!" Niu Guifang agreed readily, "Then you must listen carefully later, otherwise you won't be able to tell the story when you go back."

Xiao Zhengjun held his head high, like a little adult, not wanting to be looked down upon by Niu Guifang. "Don't worry, Mom. I have a good memory. I will definitely remember it clearly."

Su Ruanruan also smiled and said, "Zhengjun has a very good memory. He remembers all the new words and texts clearly."

Niu Guifang doesn't like to praise her child's character to everyone she meets, and Su Runrun has never asked about Xiao Zhengjun's grades.

But judging from the questions she just gave Xiao Zhengjun, Xiao Zhengjun's results were really good.

Xiao Zhengqi is also very smart, but he is a little too calm and lively.

He is good at math, but his memorization and vocabulary are a little worse.

But the problems are not big and they can be improved quickly with a little guidance and supervision.

No one doesn't like others praising their children, and Niu Guifang is no exception.

Su Runrun felt that she was just telling the truth, but Niu Guifang smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.

"Even though your aunt praises you, you must not become proud," Niu Guifang warned.

Xiao Zhengjun nodded, "Pride makes people fall behind, I will definitely not be proud."

Xiao Zhengqi also assured, "I won't be proud either!"

Hongya tilted her head up, looked at this and that, and finally asked in a daze, "Why doesn't Auntie praise me?"

Suddenly, they heard Hong Ya say this in a baby voice. Su Runruan and Niu Guifang looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

However, Xiao Zhengjun and Xiao Zhengqi did not laugh. The two brothers looked at Hong Ya seriously.

"Hongya, you are the smartest!"

Hong Ya shook her head, her speech still a little slow, her voice soft when she spoke.

"I don't want my brother to praise me, I want my aunt to praise me!"

Su Ruanruan felt that her heart was about to be melted by cuteness, and hurriedly nodded with a smile, "Okay! Then auntie will praise you. Our Hongya is the cutest and smartest little girl!"

After being praised, Hong Ya proudly raised her little chin, her face full of pride.

Such an expression, coupled with her fair and lovely appearance, is so lovable.

Eating with five people is definitely more lively than eating alone.

After the meal, everyone was talking and laughing, and Su Runrun even forgot about the discomfort in her body.

After the meal, Su Runruan stood up to clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Niu Guifang with her quick eyes and hands.

"Sister, please help me look after these three naughty boys and tell them a story."

Su Runrun knew that Niu Guifang said this on purpose, but she accepted Niu Guifang's kindness and led Hongya and her two siblings to the east room.

Every day that followed, when it was almost time for dinner, Niu Guifang would bring her three children over.

Su Ruanruan accompanied the three children, while Niu Guifang was busy in the kitchen alone.

When they were away, Su Ruanruan was not idle either, and picked up the knitting needles again.

But this time, Su Ruanruan didn't knit a sweater or trousers, but gloves, scarves and hats for Hongya and her two siblings.

These were relatively quick to weave, and it only took three to five days to finish them all.

When Niu Guifang brought Hongya and her two siblings over again, Su Runrun took out all the things she had knitted for them.

"Sister-in-law, you take care of me so much, I won't be distant with you. This is my love for you and Hongya's siblings, you are not allowed to be distant with me."

Not to mention Niu Guifang's protection and care for her before, just looking at what Niu Guifang has done during this period of time, an ordinary mother could not do this.

Just saying thank you seems too shallow and too distant.

Su Ruanruan wanted to express her gratitude with practical actions.

Children cannot hide their emotions. When they saw the furry, cartoon-shaped hats and scarves, they all widened their eyes and opened their mouths in surprise, and some even cheered out loud.

Although they were all eager to take it, none of the three siblings reached out to take it. Instead, they looked at Niu Guifang eagerly, seeking her opinion with their eyes.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Niu Guifang has brought up Hongya and her two siblings very well.

Even in an era of material scarcity, if you see something you like and are interested in, you will not just pick it up without thinking.

Niu Guifang's eyes were red, and she kept nodding her head, "Your aunt knitted it for you, just take it, and don't forget to thank your aunt."

Upon hearing this, the three siblings looked at Su Ruanruan at the same time and thanked her in unison.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"You're welcome. Just try it out to see if it's suitable."

This time, the three siblings didn't hesitate at all and just picked up the hats and put them on their heads.

All three hats are cartoon animals, Hongya’s is a kitten, and the other two are a puppy and a bear.

Su Ruanruan also took out a mirror and placed it in front of them so that they could see what they would look like after putting it on.

Niu Guifang also stared at it intently, and then looked at Su Ruanruan, "Sister Ruan, how did you come up with this? How did you knit it? It's really beautiful!"

"This is not difficult. Sister-in-law, if you want to learn, I will teach you!"
