He Yubing, the snotty-nosed man, took Lu Yiming's handkerchief and swung it across his nose. "Brother Yiming, look, my nose isn't runny anymore. Come play with me."
Lu Yiming asked nonchalantly, "What are you playing?"
"Let's go down and catch ants!"
Lu Yiming suddenly thought of something and took out an orange candy from his trouser pocket. He bit half of it and spit it on the ground, then chewed the other half.
"Gouzi, there will be a bunch of ants coming to eat the candy soon. Tell Dongzi to come over and see."
"Oh, can I eat the candy ants on the ground after Brother Yiming finishes eating them?"
Sure enough, he is the most unhygienic dog. He even wants to eat the candy thrown on the ground for ants to eat. Forget it, just be generous and give him an orange gummy!
Lu Yiming looked at He Yubing with disdain and took out a candy from his trouser pocket. "Here, this is for you. The half candy on the ground is for the ants to eat. Don't pick it up. You will get sick if you eat it."
He Yubing took the candy and laughed foolishly, "Brother Yiming, I'll go get Brother Dongzi for you now."
Six-year-old He Yuandong walked up to Lu Yiming and looked down at him, "Lu Yiming, can you give me one of the candies you gave to Gouzi?"
"No, my mom said she'll buy me some candy during the Chinese New Year."
Su Yan never lacked food for Lu Yiming. Lu Yiming naturally knew the situation at home, but he didn't tell anyone about it. This guy was generous when he should be, but sometimes he was very shrewd.
He Yuandong squatted down, watching the ants carrying the half orange candy. He felt distressed and sighed, "My mom also said she would buy me candy and new clothes for the New Year, but the New Year is still a long time away."
Lu Yiming didn't think about the New Year's Eve. He squatted down and started catching ants. Sun Yingzi looked at the fat boy squatting on the ground playing with ants and curled her lips. This brat is so lucky. If he was reincarnated into her family, she would definitely beat him with slippers.
As soon as Lu Ting got off work, he went to the nursery to pick up his son, and then made a bowl of noodles and two fried eggs as a meal.
Lu Yiming ate the noodles in his bowl and said to Lu Ting, "Dad, Aunt Sun asked me if I have any treasures at home. If I do, please hide them quickly."
Lu Ting's eyes turned cold and he asked, "How did you answer her?"
"I said we have treasures in our family. There are two treasures, one is my mother and the other is me."
"Well, you and your mother are both my babies."
"Dad, why did grandma cry when my youngest uncle and third uncle left?"
"Because they might not be back for two or three years, and your grandma will miss them. By the way, next time someone asks you what you have at home, just say nothing."
Lu Yiming nodded and said nonsense seriously, "Dad, I know our family is very poor and can only support me as a child, while other families have several children. My mother tells me to eat vegetables every day and never lets me eat meat because our family is very poor."
Lu Ting suppressed his smile and the corners of his mouth twitched. Yanyan clearly said that the brat should eat more vegetables to ensure a balanced nutrition and not eat meat, so where did he get all this fat?
"Dad, it was Mom who said that raising a child requires a lot of money for education. When we grow up and get married, it will also cost a lot of money. We need a dowry and a house to marry a wife. Our family is poor and we can only have one child for now. We will have a sister when Mom gets a job and has more money."
Lu Ting nodded. "Your mother is right. Our family is not well off and we can't afford to raise several children for now. That's why your mother and I only have one child. We'll have another one when our conditions improve."
"Dad, don't be sad. When I grow up, I'll make a lot of money for you. You can have as many children as you want."
"Having you alone is enough of a headache for me. When our family's financial situation improves, your mother and I will give birth to another well-behaved and obedient sister."
"As obedient as Lanlan? But many children don't want to play with Lanlan, saying she's dumb and doesn't like to talk."
"Yiming, you're the older brother and you can't say that to your younger sister. Lanlan doesn't talk much because she rarely has anyone to play with. Your grandma has to go to work, and your second uncle is also very busy every day."
"Dad, where is my second uncle's wife? Why doesn't Lanlan have a mother?"
Lu Ting didn't know how to respond. He was afraid the kid would tell others nonsense, so he thought for a moment and said, "Lanlan's mother is not in Beijing because she did something wrong."
Lu Yiming got to the bottom of it, "Where is Second Aunt? Where are Lanlan's grandparents? Why don't they come to see Lanlan?"
Ever since Lu Jin announced her divorce in the newspaper and helped her niece sever her mother-daughter relationship with Zhu Ting, Zhu Jinghong's family has never looked at Lu Yilan again.
"Don't mention Lanlan's mother in front of her, and don't just play with boys in the nursery. Take care of your sister."
"Dad, sister Lanlan doesn't have a mother, so why don't you let my mother be her mother? Second uncle doesn't have a wife either, so you and second uncle can share a wife. That way, my mother won't have to give birth to another sister."
Lu Ting slammed his chopsticks on the table and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Lanlan has her own mother, and your second uncle will have his own wife in the future. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll send you out."
He was so angry. How could Yanyan, who was such a well-behaved child, give birth to such a rebellious boy? What a bullshit to share a wife.
Lu Ting took the egg out of Lu Yiming's bowl with a cold face and said, "Don't eat this. The more you eat, the dumber you become."
When Lu Yiming saw his father took away half of the egg in his bowl, he knew that he was really angry. He pouted, wanting to cry but not daring to.
Lu Ting finished the eggs in the bowl, washed Lu Yiming's face with cold water, let him take a nap for an hour, and then picked him up and sent him to the nursery around two o'clock.
As he walked away, he reminded her, "You will have lunch with the other kids at the nursery tomorrow at noon. I won't be picking you up."
Lu Yiming burst into tears, "Dad, I'm sorry, I won't say that again. I don't want to stay in the nursery to eat. There are bugs in the food they cook."
"What kind of bugs are there?"
"There are caterpillars and earthworms. Really? Last time, Aunt Sun picked some greens for me and there were caterpillars in them. I told her I didn't want to eat them, but she said the big pests eat the smaller ones."
Lu Ting frowned. What was wrong with that Sun Yingzi? Why did she always target his son? She didn't wash the food thoroughly and even comforted the child when she found bugs in his bowl. She also talked nonsense. Did this Sun Yingzi have any problems with their family?
"Okay, be good and don't fight with the kids. I'll pick you up after get off work. Don't listen to Aunt Sun. You can't eat insects. If you eat them, you'll get sick and see a doctor."
"I know, Dad. I don't like Aunt Sun. I like Aunt Mei."
Lu Ting seemed to have thought of something but didn't show it on his face. There must be something wrong with this Sun Yingzi. It would be great if he could find a way to transfer her out of the nursery.
