"Mom, why are you staring at each other? Aren't your eyes tired?"
Looking at the stunned expressions of the four people, Du Chen found it a little funny.
"Ah, nothing, I was just chatting with your brother."
Ren Surong also realized that the sight of them staring at each other was a bit funny.
"What are you talking about? You're not saying a word?"
Du Chen asked his mother while putting down his schoolbag.
"I saw your brother was doing nothing at home every day, so I wanted him to go out for a walk."
Ren Surong explained to Du Chen.
"What's wrong? You miss your eldest son every day when you can't see him, but you get tired of seeing him every day?"
Ren Surong just wanted to praise Du Chen for what he said, but looking at Du Bin sitting opposite him, Ren Surong was embarrassed to say it and had to save Du Bin's face.
"That's not what I meant..."
Ren Surong said this very embarrassedly, but from the tone of her voice, it seemed that she was not very willing to say it.
"That's easy, Mom. Let my brother go out and find something to do."
Du Chen moved a chair and sat next to them and said that Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao were too close to each other on the sofa, so he didn't feel comfortable sitting on it.
"I just can't figure out what to ask them to do."
Ren Surong curled her lips. If she knew what she could make Du Bin do, would she have just stared at him?
"You can't think of asking me!"
Du Chen smiled confidently. This little problem was not difficult for him.
"If you have any ideas, please tell me and I'll give you some advice."
Jia Xiaomin couldn't help but ask Du Chen. She felt uncomfortable seeing Ding Miaomiao and Du Bin sticking together every day. It would be better to let the two children go out so that she wouldn't be annoyed.
"Brother, Sister Miaomiao, do you remember the time when you participated in the knowledge competition?"
Du Chen didn't say anything, but asked Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao first.
When Du Bin recalled what happened back then, his hair stood on end and he looked at Du Chen in surprise.
"Chenchen, tell me what you want to do?"
"Brother, do you want others to feel the rain and suffering you went through back then?"
Du Bin's eyes lit up, and his mind suddenly felt clear.
"Chenchen, what are you doing?"
"Mom, is the cram school in our neighborhood short of teachers? Are these two top students from the Normal University in need of one? Let the younger students feel the care from their seniors."
Du Chen was smiling, and there was no sign of his dirty intentions at all.
"They are still students, can they do it?"
Ren Surong looked at Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao, but still felt worried.
"Mom, let my brother and sister Miaomiao be teaching assistants first. They can help the younger students with homework and talk about college life. It's not like they'll start teaching right away, right?"
"That's right, Mom. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. I'll just show my care for the younger students, tell them about the wonderful life at university, and give them a goal. I'll encourage them to study hard."
Du Bin speaks of righteousness, but who doesn't know his little tricks? Even if he gets caught in the rain, he'll still tear up other people's umbrellas.
"Why don't you try it tomorrow?"
"Right, right, right, Miaomiao, why don't you and Du Bin give it a try together? You won't have to sit around doing nothing every day!"
Jia Xiaomin quickly agreed with Ren Surong's opinion.
Seeing that everyone was quite satisfied, Du Chen took Gu Yue to the second floor to do homework and review lessons, and stopped arguing with Du Bin and the others.
……………………
On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, it was snowing lightly. Li Dewen and Xiami took turns driving back from the capital, planning to wait until the 15th day of the 1st lunar month before setting off for the capital again.
Li Dewen and Xiami set out from the capital in the middle of the night. They looked at the weather forecast and knew that there would be light snow in Yuncheng today. They were afraid that they would not be able to return, so they set out from the capital in the middle of the night.
When they returned to Yuncheng, it was not yet half past eleven. The two discussed and decided to go directly to Du Chen for dinner and chat.
"Brother Li, what? Did you have a smooth journey?"
Soon, several people sat down in the restaurant, including Du Chen, Li Dewen and Xiami.
"It went smoothly. I was just afraid I wouldn't be able to get home, so I left the capital in the middle of the night."
Li Dewen drank tea to resist his sleepiness.
"Why did you leave so early?"
"According to the weather forecast, it's going to snow here. I'm worried that something might go wrong. It started snowing right after we crossed the provincial border, so we had to drive slowly all the way back."
Xiami explained to Du Chen, who also lowered his head to drink tea. They had gotten up early, and the excitement of going home and the caution of the snow had made them both a little excited. Now, as they sat here, they began to feel sleepy.
"Well, be careful. Safety is the most important thing."
Du Chen also agreed with their ideas.
"Where are the other brothers?"
"They came back by train in batches a few days ago. Now there are only two brothers left who haven't prepared to come back. They are spending the New Year in Beijing and looking after the house. If there is anything, just call us directly."
"Actually, there's no need to keep anyone there. I heard from my brother that it's not going to be easy right now."
Du Chen asked Li Dewen frankly. Li Dewen and Xiami were not fools. They must be aware that they knew what was happening in the capital. It would be better for them to speak openly and honestly instead of beating around the bush.
"Well, I've done basically nothing in the past six months. I've just been eating, drinking, and chatting with you. I don't know how to start now."
Li Dewen depressedly poured all the remaining tea in the cup into his mouth, as if to extinguish the anger in his heart.
"That's normal. Let's slowly build relationships and get familiar with the leaders. We're just making arrangements in advance."
