"I forgot just now! I was hungry and anxious to go have lunch, so I forgot to tell you."
Du Bin's tone was quite normal, but his evasive eyes showed that he was lying.
"Oh, brother, how about we go to the circus together?"
Du Chen asked Du Bin again.
"Go ahead and watch if you want. I'm not stopping you."
Du Bin looked indifferent.
“Oh, I see!”
Ding Miaomiao may not have noticed it, but Du Chen saw the reluctance on Du Bin's face. After thinking about it, Du Chen said nothing, and they walked into the store together.
"Chenchen, uncle, aunt, and my parents will be back tomorrow, right?"
Ding Miaomiao confirmed the time with Du Chen.
"Well, I guess they'll leave Guangzhou today. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back tomorrow night."
"No way, Chenchen, we've only been traveling for two days by train. Driving isn't faster than the train."
Du Bin didn't believe Du Chen's inference.
"Trains run at night, so who dares to drive out at night? What if they run into bandits? I'd rather my parents drive slower and be safer!"
Du Chen had some concerns of his own. The highways had not yet been built to connect all directions, so most of the roads were provincial roads. Although they were much safer than before, there were still many bandits and bullies on the road.
After hearing what Du Chen said, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao also became a little nervous.
"Chenchen, you think everything will be alright?"
Ding Miaomiao asked Du Chen nervously.
"It's okay, it's okay. I shouldn't have told you. It's not that dangerous. There are so many people traveling with us. We drove there too, so coming back shouldn't be a problem!"
Du Chen saw that Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao were frightened by him, and hurried to comfort them.
"Come on, Brother, Sister Miaomiao, let's go back to the restaurant and eat! Let's not take a nap today. Parents, uncles, and aunts will be back soon tomorrow. Let's go home and clean up the house at noon! They'll be happy to see us when we get back!"
Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat silent, Du Chen made a suggestion.
"That's right, hurry back and clean up, especially the two of you. You don't usually clean, and you're so lazy! You don't even put away things after use! I'll help you clean up later! Be careful, uncle and auntie will come back and see the mess and have to clean you up!"
Ding Miaomiao obviously remembered the bedrooms of the two brothers Du Chen and Du Bin, which were in a mess. She had asked them to clean up the room yesterday.
But Du Bin and Du Chen's answer was: "No matter how messy it is, we know where things are. Just use them as you like. After we clean up, we won't be able to find them anymore!"
When they returned to the store, Ren Suyun had already prepared lunch, and Gu Yue was also in the store. Du Chen took a look and asked Gu Yue if she wanted to go to the park to watch the circus on Sunday.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!"
Ren Suyun called Du Chen and the other two to go and eat quickly.
Du Chen and his companions quickly took care of their personal hygiene and sat down around the table.
"Sister Yueyue, are you free on Sunday?"
Du Chen asked Gu Yue.
"Nothing, just dance lessons on Saturday afternoon, nothing else to do."
"Yueyue, your brother and I are going to the park on Sunday morning. Do you want to come with us?"
Before Du Chen could speak, Ding Miaomiao asked Gu Yue first. Hearing Ding Miaomiao's words, Du Chen quietly looked at his brother Du Bin. As expected, Du Bin narrowed his eyes and seemed a little unhappy.
"Okay, okay, Sister Miaomiao, I want to go to the park with you! You didn't take me with you to the Drum Tower yesterday!"
Gu Yue was also very happy when he heard that he could go out and play with Ding Miaomiao.
"Miaomiao, there's nothing fun in the park, right?"
Ren Suyun said to Ding Miaomiao while serving the dishes.
"Aunt, there's a circus in the park this Sunday. Do you want to go?"
Ding Miaomiao also followed Du Bin and Du Chen in calling Ren Suyun "Third Auntie," and everyone was used to it. Hearing Ding Miaomiao's words, Du Bin's face became even gloomier. He had originally thought that he and Ding Miaomiao would go to the park to play, but it turned out that there were several more children. Now, Ding Miaomiao actually invited Third Auntie to go with them. Who knows how many people will go then.
"Really? There's also a circus performance, which is worth seeing."
Ren Suyun quickly arranged all the food and sat down at the table.
"Come on, eat quickly, and then take a nap!"
"Auntie San, are you going?"
Ding Miaomiao asked Ren Suyun persistently.
"We'll see when the time comes. I don't know if I'll be working that day, but if I have time I'll go take a look. It's been a while since I've been able to join in the fun."
Speaking of which, Ren Suyun hasn't gone shopping for a long time.
Du Chen looked at Du Bin with a depressed face and smiled secretly in his heart. He could see what Du Bin was thinking, but now the development of things was out of control, so Du Chen had no choice.
Soon, everyone finished lunch, and Du Chen said to Ren Suyun.
"Aunt, my parents and Uncle Ding will be back tomorrow, so we're thinking of going home to clean up and then rest for a while."
"Okay then, no watching TV!"
Ren Suyun warned Du Chen.
"No, Third Aunt, my parents pulled out the CCTV antennas when they left. I can't watch it even if I want to!"
Comrade Lao Du and Ren Surong were very insidious. When they left, they quietly unplugged the TV antennas. The night before, Du Bin planned to secretly watch TV, but he couldn't find any TV stations. After checking the back of the TV, he found that his parents had unplugged the closed-circuit antenna.
Hearing Du Chen's words, Ren Suyun and Ding Miaomiao couldn't help but burst out laughing. The most basic trust between pure people was gone.
Just as they got downstairs, Ding Miaomiao said to Du Bin and Du Chen.
"Du Bin, Chen Chen, you two go home and clean up first. I'll go home and wipe the furniture and tidy up. When I'm done, I'll come upstairs to find you and help you clean up."
Du Bin and Du Chen nodded to indicate that they had no objection.
After returning home, Du Chen and Du Bin cleaned the living room first. The living room was indeed a bit dirty because of what they had done.
"Brother, I have something to ask you!"
While cleaning, Du Chen kept chatting with Du Bin.
"What's the matter? Ask!"
Du Bin said without raising his head while picking up the garbage.
"Let me make this clear first. You can't be impatient, and you are not allowed to fight with me."
Du Chen gave Du Bin a heads-up in advance.
"Oh, tell me first!"
"Brother, we agreed. I asked you! Do you want to go to the circus with Sister Miaomiao?"
"No!"
"Brother, stop pretending. You didn't tell me you were leaving school at noon, and when you got back to the store, Sister Miaomiao invited Sister Yueyue to go with you. I saw that you were a little disappointed!"
"Go away, how old are you? What are you thinking about all day long?"
Du Bin blushed and asked Du Chen to go aside. He still felt a little embarrassed to talk about such issues with his younger brother.
"Tsk, I'm not a kid, I know everything I need to know, okay!"
Du Chen said to Du Bin unconvinced.
"And even if you don't understand, I understand!"
Du Chen added silently in his heart.
