"Stop looking and go to sleep. Think about how we're going to Uncle's house with our older brother and sister tomorrow to play and see Brother Yuanyuan. It'll be a good opportunity for us to have some time to ourselves."
Xu Qianli said, holding Liu Xinlan in his arms.
“Yes, apart from when we went back to Haishi to see my father, we haven’t had any time alone together. Tomorrow morning, after the children are picked up, we’ll go out for a walk.” Liu Xinlan rarely takes a vacation and has gone on a long trip, so she’s taking this opportunity to see what the outside world is like.
Liu Xinlan put the handkerchief away and lay down to sleep together.
Nestled in Xu Qianli's arms, Liu Xinlan felt comforted, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
When they woke up in the morning, Li Qingming and Lu Chen were the first ones to get up together.
After getting up on New Year's Eve and Lunar New Year's Eve, they insisted on eating fried dough sticks.
Lu Chen had no choice but to take the children out to buy fried dough sticks and some steamed buns. He then went home and started cooking millet porridge, as Lu Chen's stomach wasn't very good and he needed to drink millet porridge to soothe it.
After buying the fried dough sticks, the two children ate them as they walked behind their father.
"Dad, can my little sister Zaozao be my wife?" Danian asked his father earnestly.
Lu Chen looked down at Da Nian in complete shock.
"You... know what a wife is?" Lu Chen looked up with a guilty conscience, checking if Li Qingming was around. If Li Qingming heard this, Da Nian would probably be in big trouble.
Yesterday, when Danian said that he wanted to hold Zaozao when she grew up, I saw Li Qingming's protective expression.
“I know~” Da Nian took a bite of the fried dough stick and looked up at Lu Chen to explain: “Just like Dad and Mom, they sleep together every day, so they call each other wives.”
Xiao Nian glanced at his brother, but didn't pay much attention, continuing to eat his fried dough sticks with his head down.
Lu Chen felt a sudden rush of heat to his head; how could Da Nian say such a thing?
I was both amused and exasperated.
"Zaozao is so cute and soft. I want to be with her every day when I grow up. I want to kiss her and hug her. But boys can't kiss girls. So I want Zaozao to be my wife, so I can kiss and hug her."
Da Nian looked very clever.
Lu Chen was both amused and exasperated. This kid was so precocious.
Lu Chen squatted down and said to Da Nian, "Da Nian, you can't say these things again."
"Why?" Da Nian asked, puzzled.
"Da Nian, you like Zao Zao because you want to play with her. But a sister can't be her brother's wife. She's family. Family members play hand in hand, just like you're holding your sister's hand, like you're holding your sister's hand. She can't be your sister's wife, understand?"
Lu Chen still wanted to correct Da Nian's thinking. If Li Qingming heard this, his son would become someone Li Qingming would be wary of.
"Oh, I see!" Danian nodded in sudden understanding after hearing what his father said. "My sister can't be my wife."
"Yes, you can't say this to anyone else, not even your mother, understand?" Lu Chen said, patting Da Nian's head.
Xiao Nian nodded and said, "I know, Dad."
“Dad, I know too,” Danian said to Lu Chen with a smile.
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. What a mess! What has he learned during the New Year? He knows the word "wife" at such a young age.
When Lu Chen is being intimate with his wife, the children are usually not in sight.
He always maintained the image of a strict father in front of his children.
Lu Chen had a feeling that Da Nian had learned this from the older kids in the family compound, or that he had listened to the adults and taken it to heart.
Lu Chen looked at Da Nian with a helpless expression, laughing and laughing repeatedly.
Da Nian, while eating a fried dough stick, looked at his younger sister and said, "Little sister, you can't fall down again. I'll put the oil on me later."
"Okay, okay, brother, you're so annoying." Xiao Nian just wanted to eat her fried dough sticks in peace; her brother's constant nagging was really bothersome.
Hearing her sister say she disliked her, she angrily glared at her.
"I don't like my sister anymore, and I even find my brother annoying!" Da Nian said angrily as he ran away.
Xiao Nian calmly looked at her brother, and said with a grin, "Brother is so funny."
Lu Chen looked down at Xiao Nian, thinking, "These two have switched personalities."
Lu Chen patted Xiao Nian's head and said, "Let's go back."
I was carrying several fried dough sticks in my hand. If I got back late, they would get cold and wouldn't taste good.
Da Nian walked quickly while looking back at his father and sister. Seeing that his sister hadn't caught up, he became even angrier.
Li Qingming got up early in the morning, fed the child formula, and then started cooking breakfast. He went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy lean meat and vegetables. Seeing that there was rice in the kitchen, he cooked lean meat porridge.
When Lu Chen returned with the two children, Li Qingming was just carrying out a large pot of porridge.
"You're back! Perfect timing to wash my hands and have breakfast. I even made some steamed buns," Li Qingming said.
Lu Chen was quite surprised to see Li Qingming's virtuous and gentle appearance.
"It smells so good!" After washing the clothes, Lu He walked into the living room and smelled the aroma of the porridge. She couldn't help but tease, "Brother Li, your cooking skills are really good."
"These are just everyday meals," Li Qingming said with a grin, placing a stack of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Xia Xiaoli came out of the room carrying her child. When she heard Li Qingming being praised by Lu He, she looked very proud.
This isn't about comparing; Li Qingming's cooking skills are genuinely excellent.
When Shen Qiaoyue came out of the room, she saw Lu He and Xia Xiaoli chatting again and asked curiously, "Where are you going today?"
