Ding Qiunan then sat up and pulled her husband up as well.
"Go and take them both to take a shower, I'll cook."
"Okay, let's go take a shower now."
As he spoke, Li Chu stood up and picked up both children at the same time.
"Dad, can't I take a shower after I eat? I'm really hungry," Xiao Wenhui said, patting her stomach.
"The food isn't ready yet. What are you going to eat? We can eat right after you finish showering. Why weren't you three hungry when you were bullying me earlier?"
"It was Mom who bullied you, not me and my brother."
Xiao Wenxuan sold his mother off without hesitation.
"Oh dear, you little rascal, I've figured it out. You're always so quiet and listless. You're the worst one in the family."
Ding Qiunan stretched out a finger and poked Xiao Wenxuan's forehead.
Little Wenxuan giggled and hugged his father's neck tightly.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Honey, change your clothes first, I'll go give them a bath."
As he spoke, Li Chu carried the two children toward the living room.
"Let me tell you, Li Chu, Wenxuan needs to be taught a lesson. He's a real scoundrel," Ding Qiunan said indignantly, following behind him.
Wenxuan turned his head and rested his chin on Li Chu's shoulder, sticking his tongue out at his mother.
Ding Qiunan was stunned by what she saw. Where had her obedient son gone? The change was too drastic.
Knowing everyone was hungry, she stopped teasing the child. However, she made a mental note of this and planned to let him experience the power of motherhood when they were getting ready for bed that night.
After finishing her meal, Ding Qiunan lay on the sofa, not wanting to move at all. The two little ones sat on the blanket in the middle of the living room, playing with their toys, while the three dogs lay around them.
Li Chu, carrying plates and bowls, prepared to go to the kitchen: "Wife, there's an envelope in my backpack. Take it out, put the money in it, and put the tickets in the drawer."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen.
Ding Qiunan jumped up from the sofa. She was most interested in money and tickets, like a little money-grubber.
He would often take out the small box containing money from the cabinet and count it whenever he had free time. Every time he counted the money, he would show a fox-like smile.
Li Chu sometimes couldn't understand why she was so greedy for money, since she had most of the family's money.
On her way home from get off work that day, she found two cents. She was so happy, like nothing could have stopped her from being excited about finding the money. Although she later turned it in to the police station, it didn't diminish her excitement at all.
Also, every month when she gets her salary, Ding Qiunan is always one of the first to go to the finance office.
Today is the last day of work, and the heavy snow shows no sign of stopping. It looks like we'll be spending the New Year in the snow.
I got up early in the morning, carried a ladder up to the roof to shovel snow. The roof is tiled, and if the snow isn't cleared properly, it can easily cause problems.
After sweeping the roof and then the yard, and after cleaning the yard, I took a shovel and went out to clear the snow from the alley.
I went outside and chatted with the neighbors in the alley. I learned that a house in the alley to the north had collapsed last night.
The entire family of seven or eight was crushed to the bottom.
Fortunately, no one died, only two were injured.
This has raised everyone's awareness, with some people even getting up in the middle of the night to check their houses.
Because Li Chu and his group were in the west, they were unaware of what had happened last night.
The snow on the alleyway had been mostly cleared, so Li Chu hurriedly ran to a restaurant by the main road outside to buy some breakfast.
When he got home, the mother and her two children were already up.
"Li Chu, what's going on with all the commotion outside?"
While eating a meat bun, Ding Qiunan asked indistinctly.
Hearing that a house behind her had collapsed, she was so frightened that she quickly looked up at her own roof.
"No need to look, our house is new. It was very sturdy when it was built."
"Mom, what are you looking at?" Xiao Wenhui asked when she saw her mother looking up repeatedly.
"It's alright, Wenhui, you should eat your food. Mom will just look around."
"Sister, Mom is checking if the roof will fall down."
"Huh? Will it fall down?" Xiao Wenhui's mouth dropped open in surprise, and the bun she had just bitten into fell out of her mouth.
"Hey, you little rascal, why can't you say something nicer?"
Ding Qiunan looked down at her son.
This little guy has become so sharp-tongued since yesterday.
"Mom, what sounds nice?"
"Uh..." She was stumped by her son's question and didn't know how to answer.
“Hehe…” Li Chu couldn’t help but laugh: “Son, what sounds nice is, for example, when you open your eyes in the morning and see your mother, you say, ‘Mom, you’re so beautiful.’ Your mother will definitely be very happy to hear that. That’s what you call nice.”
His long speech only confused the two little ones more. They looked at each other, then turned to look at their parents.
"Pfft... What nonsense are you talking about? How can you teach the child like that?" Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at her husband.
"Ignore your dad, he's talking nonsense. Eat your food, and Mom will teach you how to speak nicely when you get home tonight."
After finishing their meal, the family of four went out to work and ran into Lou Xiao'e's mother on the main road.
"Madam Lou, are you going to buy groceries?"
Li Chu never expected to see Madam Lou dressed in ordinary clothes, carrying a vegetable basket, going out to buy groceries.
"Dr. Li, Qiu Nan, hello there! Oh my, these two children are so cute."
Aunt Lou smiled and said, "Dr. Li, if you don't mind, you can just call me Aunt Lou from now on. I dare not call you Madam Lou anymore."
"Okay, I'll call you Aunt Lou from now on."
It's clear that the Lou family has changed a lot since they donated their assets in November and moved here.
In the past, no matter what I said, it always carried a hint of arrogance.
Now, people who don't know them well wouldn't guess that the Lou family couple were once influential figures in Beijing's business world.
After exchanging a few casual words, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan left.
Sitting in the consultation room, drinking tea and reading a book, today is just about passing the time and waiting for the workday to end.
He had almost memorized the internal medicine book in his hand, but it was of little use. Apart from the kidneys, he still dared not look at the other parts of the body, such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, intestines, and stomach.
It was mainly due to his lack of experience, coupled with the fact that he hadn't received any systematic training; he didn't even know about those common Western medicines.

Closing the book, I thought of Lou Ma, whom I had just met.
Last year's donation was truly groundbreaking; five businessmen from Beijing, two from Tianjin, and even Chief Wu were present.
The commander-in-chief also praised these people in the newspapers, calling them patriotic businessmen.
The next day, this was the headline of every newspaper.
The commander-in-chief's public praise and the presence of Chief of Staff Wu completely put these businessmen at ease.
It also made those who didn't participate regret their decision.
