"I've really decided!" Zhou Yan nodded firmly. "I used to yearn for an ordinary life, but after all these years, I realize that I'm not someone who lives an ordinary life. It's not only because of my martial arts skills, but also because of my vision. I've seen so much, and I'm no longer willing to live an ordinary life."
"Okay," Zhou Xiang raised his hand and gently touched his nephew's head. "You can come back to the Kong family whenever you want! Don't be bound by the previous decision. You are already 13 years old! You are a grown man now."
Zhou Xiang looked up at the top of his head, which he could only touch by raising his hand, and felt that time flew by. The skinny little guy back then has now become a handsome and tall young man.
"Aunt," Zhou Yan said with tears in his eyes. Among all the ordinary people he had experienced, his aunt had given him the most love and care, which made his life without regrets in the past few years.
"I know you told Dad not to have any more babies, but I hope to have an ordinary brother or sister to accompany Dad. He doesn't need to know about Mom's existence, but just wants to be with lonely Dad."
"After summer vacation, you can talk to your parents about this."
Zhou Yan grinned because he knew his aunt wouldn't object. "Yes! I still have to accompany Dad to finish his personal exhibition, and then discuss it with him."
"So you're planning on leaving in the second half of the year?"
"Yes, the sooner you get in touch with it, the sooner you can learn." The sooner you learn, the sooner you can get everything done. If you get bored, you can go back to the Zhou family to recharge.
"Okay, after the test, talk to your cousin first."
"OK!"
Zhou Yan happily returned to his room to review, but Zhou Xiang felt a hint of loneliness amidst that ostentatious cheerfulness. No matter why her nephew returned to the Kong family early, she didn't want to interfere. Everyone had their own path to walk, and no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't walk that path for the children. Otherwise, she would be raising useless people and giant babies.
Rubbing her sore eyes, she decided to tell Xianxian in the space.
When Xianxian heard the news, she was stunned for a long time before asking, "Has seven years passed outside?"
"Yes! Yan'er is already 13 years old."
"If he wants to go to the Kong family ahead of time, then let him go ahead of time! Qian Chen started learning when he was six or seven years old!"
"Can it be the same?"
"It's different!" Xianxian sighed deeply. "Before, when I was in the Kong family, I longed for an ordinary life. How could it be so ordinary? Yan'er actually... Never mind. He just needs to know what's going on."
"After he finishes his exams, I'll let him come in to see you sometime."
"good."
After learning that Zhou Niao's paintings had entered the re-evaluation stage, everyone was happy for him. He continued to stay in seclusion in the health garden with Teacher Mao. A few days later, the entrance examination from primary school to junior high school began.
Zhou Xiang used his privilege to enter the school, and he and Ling Ran waited for the children in the school cafeteria with food in their hands. They had lunch and dinner with them, and listened to them talk about how simple the test questions were.
Zhou Xiang touched the heads of several children and said, "Don't be careless. Check after you finish writing."
"OK!"
After two days of exams, Ling Xiaotong still felt unsatisfied. "It would be great if Mom and Dad could come and accompany us every day. It would be great if the exams could last a week."
Zhou Xiang flicked her forehead and said, "You're almost 12 years old! And you're still so childish."
Ling Xiaotong rubbed her forehead and said, "I've only just turned 11."
"Yes, yes! Mom was wrong. My daughter is only 11 years old. Okay, you all should hurry back to the dormitory to pack your things. We will be waiting for you downstairs." Zhou Xiang picked up the lunch box. She was a little tired after accompanying her for two days.
After the children came downstairs with their backpacks and the group returned to Zhou's house, Ling Ran drove to the school to bring back the children's bedding. The summer vacation without homework began.
Zhou wanted to take the opportunity to put his nephew into the space several times and ask them to chat more.
A week later, after the school's final exams, first-grade girl Hanhan was nearly in tears. She had summer homework! But she wanted to play with her older brothers and sisters.
Zhou Yan packed his luggage and went directly to the health park to accompany his father. During the summer vacation, he would also accompany his father to hold a personal painting exhibition in Beijing. Then, regardless of whether his father was nominated or not, they would go to the oil painting exhibition area in Hubei Province at the end of September.
The exhibition will end in early November, and the list of winning works will be announced in mid-December. He can only hear the news at Kong's house. Therefore, before October, he spent all his time with his father and had no time to spend with his younger brothers and sisters.
Zhou Yuan was taken to Shencheng by her parents to visit her brothers. Ling Xiaoyi and Ling Xiaoyuan went out early and came back late every day, leaving Ling Xiaotong helplessly to accompany this pampered sister to do homework.
Ling Xiaotong: "..." My life is so miserable! I finally caught up with the first summer vacation in my life without homework, but I'm pestered by my spoiled sister. Can I call for help?
Recently, Kong Qianchen has been coming to Zhou's house every now and then to sit around, which has prevented Ling Ran from supervising the construction of the outer garden of the health park.
Zhou wanted to know that Ling Ran didn't disbelieve her, but was too influenced by his past life and always felt that he would lose her if he wasn't careful, so she just let him be. He also said that the construction of the outer garden was on track, and the third brother and Zuo Heng were watching!
Kong Qianchen said that he planned to bring Yan'er back to the Kong family in early October. Since Ling Ran was focusing on his family, Zhou Xiang looked for an opportunity to go out and make the essence-nourishing liquid. After filling several enamel pots, Zhou Xiang gave up the matter.
On this day, Guo Yao, who was on summer vacation, brought her classmates to Zhou's house to visit her elder sister and nephew.
"Ms. Zhou, these three are my college classmates. This girl is Guan Lihua, the slightly stronger boy is Song Congyue, and the other boy is Lin Haozhi."
"Hello! Welcome to Huai County." Zhou Xiang greeted with a smile.
