On Saturday morning, when Du Chen woke up, he found that his parents had gone out, probably to the eyewear store. Du Bin was still asleep. Du Chen went into Du Bin's bedroom and woke him up.
Usually on Sundays, Du Bin and Du Chen would sleep until they woke up naturally. Du Chen's mother was planning to wake Du Chen and Du Bin up early, but Comrade Lao Du wouldn't let her. Comrade Lao Du's idea was very simple: the children had been in class for a week, so what was wrong with getting up late on Saturday and Sunday and sleeping in for a while.
"Brother, wake up!"
Du Chen patted Du Bin's arm, but Du Bin turned over and continued to sleep.
Du Chen called Du Bin twice again, and seeing that he really didn't want to get up, Du Chen went to take care of himself.
Du Chen took care of his personal hygiene and went out alone. On the way to the eyewear store, he was thinking about what he was going to do today.
When he arrived at the eyewear store, Du Chen found that there were quite a lot of people in the store today. His parents and Lao Ding's family were all in the store.
"Chenchen, where is your brother?"
Ren Surong saw that Du Chen was the only one who entered the store, so she asked Du Chen.
"Mom, my brother is still asleep..."
"Really? It's already so late and you haven't gotten up yet..."
When she heard that Du Bin had not gotten up yet, Ren Surong nagged him out of habit.
"Okay, wife, the kids are all very tired these days. Let them sleep for a while if they want to. Besides, Du Bin did well in the midterm exam."
Comrade Lao Du also habitually tried to smooth things over.
"Tsk, you're the one who spoiled the child!"
Ren Surong muttered again, "Comrade Lao Du."
"Sister Miaomiao, aren't you studying at home?"
Du Chen simply ignored his parents' bickering. They were just talking and it would be like this all their lives. Du Chen walked over to Ding Miaomiao and asked her.
"The weather is nice today, and I didn't want to stay at home. I also thought that you and Du Bin had already arrived at the store, so I came directly with my parents."
As Ding Miaomiao spoke, she continued to write on her notebook. Du Chen looked over and saw Ding Miaomiao sitting behind the counter with a notebook and test paper in front of her. She seemed to be copying the wrong questions from the test into her notebook to make a collection of them.
Du Chen found a chair and sat across the counter from Ding Miaomiao. Since he had no idea what to do now, he might as well chat with Ding Miaomiao in the store and listen to the conversation between the old Ding couple and his parents.
"Sister Miaomiao, why didn't Uncle Ding go to the gym today?"
Du Chen was bored and was just trying to make conversation.
"My dad said he's been a little tired lately and wants to take a break. He hasn't chatted with your parents in a while, so he came over so early in the morning to chat with your uncle and aunt."
"Chenchen, have you written a book recently?"
Ding Miaomiao suddenly stopped what she was doing, asked Du Chen, and glanced at the old Ding couple not far away.
"Yes, I write every day. After all, I can make money. What's wrong, Sister Miaomiao?"
Du Chen asked Ding Miaomiao curiously.
"Chenchen, I also want to do something. You write books, and Du Bin draws illustrations. I just study every day. Sometimes I feel so bored and useless. Do you have any good ideas?"
Du Chen was shocked by Ding Miaomiao's words. What happened? Was Ding Miaomiao, who had always been a good girl, entering her rebellious phase? However, this rebellious phase came a little late. This situation was very similar to his old self. In fact, it is not good for children to have their rebellious phase come too late.
"Sister Miaomiao, do you have any ideas?"
Du Chen scratched his head, not knowing what to do. He could only ask Ding Miaomiao if she had any goals or ideas.
"I just asked you because I didn't have any ideas."
Ding Miaomiao answered Du Chen somewhat dejectedly. She had thought about it for a long time, but she really didn't know what she could do or what she wanted to do.
"Sister Miaomiao, do you have any hobbies?"
“I don’t think I particularly like this one.”
Ding Miaomiao's words made Du Chen even more confused, and Ding Miaomiao became visibly more depressed. Du Chen saw Ding Miaomiao's low mood and decided to take her out for a walk. Otherwise, if his parents found out, they would think he had made Ding Miaomiao angry. Based on his parents' attitude towards Ding Miaomiao, he would definitely be scolded.
"Sister Miaomiao, I can't think of anything right now. How about we go out for a walk? Maybe we can find something!"
Do it when you think of it, Du Chen told Ding Miaomiao his idea.
"Then why don't you wait for Du Bin?"
Ding Miaomiao was a little hesitant. Usually the three of them acted together, and she felt a little uncomfortable without Du Bin this time.
"Forget it, I won't wait for my brother. I don't know when he will get up."
"Okay then, shall we go now?"
"Um!"
After Du Chen finished speaking to Ding Miaomiao, he turned and spoke to Comrade Lao Du and the others.
"Mom, Dad, Auntie, Uncle, Sister Miaomiao and I are going out for a walk!"
"Okay, okay, got it. Remember to come back for lunch!"
The people who were chatting didn't even look at Du Chen and Ding Miaomiao, but waved their hands to indicate that they understood.
After leaving the glasses shop, the two stood at the door. Du Chen didn't know where to go for a moment. He kept muttering in his heart, "I was reborn to lie down. Why did he find himself getting busier and busier? Not only did he have to make a fortune for himself, but he also had to relieve Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao's psychological condition. He didn't know how to do it."
"Chenchen, where are we going?"
Ding Miaomiao came out of the glasses store and looked at the good weather outside. She was obviously in a much better mood than before and asked Du Chen eagerly.
"Ah, Sister Miaomiao, I don't know either. Think about it too. Is there any place you want to go?"
Du Chen looked around, thinking about where to go for a walk and see if he could find out what Ding Miaomiao's hobbies were. People can't be idle. If they are idle, something bad will happen, Du Chen complained silently in his heart.
As Du Chen was looking around, he suddenly noticed a young man across the street waving at him. He took a closer look and saw that it was Li Dewen's younger brother! It seemed that Li Dewen was anxious and asked his younger brother to wait for him at the door of his shop.
Du Chen was a little troubled for a moment. After all, Ding Miaomiao was still by his side. Should he take Ding Miaomiao shopping first, or settle it with Li Dewen first?
"Chenchen, look, someone is waving at you from the other side. Is he looking for you?"
Before Du Chen could even think it through, Ding Miaomiao had already spotted the young man across from him. After all, he was like a giant monkey, jumping and waving, making it hard not to notice him.
"Well, I guess it's for me!"
Seeing that Ding Miaomiao had already discovered it, Du Chen could only admit that the other party was looking for him.
"Du Chen, are you busy? Why don't you go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to the store first."
Seeing Du Chen's embarrassed expression, Ding Miaomiao spoke to Du Chen, but her tone was full of disappointment.
"Hey, it's okay. Come on, Sister Miaomiao, you and I will come together. But you can't tell anyone about what happened today!"
