So, when He Yi asked Yun Qiao for a hug, Yun Qiao just smiled and waved at him: "He Yi, didn't you just want to play? It just so happens that your dad is free and can play with you. Go ahead and play. Mom is waiting for you at home. It's just in time for breakfast after you play around."
"All right."
Seeing this, He Yi knew that he could not escape the trap that day, so he had no choice but to hang his head, put on his clothes, and follow He Tingjun out of the trap.
Yun Qiao turned her head to look at He Yan who was still sleeping soundly, but he didn't see her either.
I finally have a day off on Sunday after a week of school. Why should I get up early when I have a day off? I can sleep as late as I can. It’s best to sleep until I wake up naturally.
Yun Qiao threw back the quilt, got out of bed, put on his clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up and returning to the room, He Yan was already awake.
There was still some sleepiness on her face, as if she hadn't fully woken up yet. Her whole body was wrapped in the quilt, with only her round little head sticking out. She had big eyes, red lips, and beautiful teeth. She was pretty and cute.
Yun Qiao was moved by her cute baby's mother, so she walked to the edge of the bed, bent down and gently pinched her little face.
Her round face has baby fat and feels soft to the touch, making people want to pinch it again and again.
Yun Qiao pinched her cheek several times before greeting her daughter with a smile: "Good morning, Yanyan."
He Yan didn't like people pinching her face, but her mother wasn't someone else, so she endured it silently, mumbling only, "Mom, I haven't washed my face yet."
"My baby smells so good even without washing her face." Yun Qiao smiled and scratched the tip of her nose, then said, "Get up, grandma has already prepared breakfast and is waiting for us to eat."
He Yan lay in bed without moving, and just asked, "What do you want for breakfast?"
Yun Qiao noticed she was trying to stay in bed and said, "Mom just came out to take a look. There's steamed egg custard, scallion pancakes, and your favorite small fish soup. Your grandma fried the small fish until they were crispy and haven't added them to the salty soup yet. Hurry up and get up, or the fish won't be crispy anymore."
When He Yan heard about the fried crispy fish, he immediately perked up, "I'll get up, I'll get up right away."
She is already a big kid and has learned to dress herself a long time ago. She doesn't need help from adults like He Yi.
Yun Qiao watched her quickly put on her clothes, jump out of bed, and without even washing up, run to the restaurant in her slippers.
After she ran to the restaurant and confirmed that there were indeed fried fish, she turned back and washed up in the bathroom.
Yun Qiao followed behind her, watching her series of actions, feeling quite helpless, yet unable to help laughing.
"Look at you, kid. You even came all the way here to take a look. Can your mother really lie to you?"
"That's not necessarily true. You adults are the best at lying." He Yan stuck out his tongue at Yun Qiao and slipped into the bathroom.
Yun Qiao was left standing there, feeling both amused and helpless.
“…”
This child.
By the time He Yan finished washing up and sat at the dining table, He Tingjun also arrived with He Yiwei.
He Yi followed He Tingjun with an obedient look on his face. Although he didn't look dejected, he also looked listless, as if he had been taught a lesson by his father outside.
Yun Qiao trusted He Tingjun's sense of propriety and didn't need to ask him how he raised her. She just needed to enjoy the results. At most, she observed He Yi calmly, making sure he wasn't crying or hurt. Then she put the thought behind her and waved to He Yi with a smile, "I'm here after playing with Daddy. Come wash your hands and eat. We'll be waiting for you."
He Yi had just been scolded by He Tingjun, so he didn't dare to complain to Yun Qiao. He obediently washed his hands and sat at the dining table to eat.
Feng Juan brought out the last plate of pickled vegetables, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward He Tingjun. She said, "Children can't eat anything too salty, so I only put a little salt in this scallion pancake, so it's not too salty. Tingjun, you have a strong taste, so just eat it with this pickled vegetable."
He Tingjun took it: "Thank you, Mom."
The family sat together and started to eat breakfast. He Yan suddenly realized: "Hey, where's my aunt? Qin Lang and Qin Shuo are not here either."
Feng Juan said, "Qin Lang and Qin Shuo wanted to eat wontons, so your aunt took them out to eat."
"Oh, yes." He Yan said, "He said yesterday that he wanted to go to the park to take a boat ride. Mom, let's go to the park tomorrow. I heard there's a slide in the park over there that you can slide down from the pavilion on the hillside. It's long and fun."
He Yi also joined in the fun: "Yes, yes, Dong Park. Mom, I miss Dong Park too."
Yun Qiao looked at He Tingjun, and He Tingjun said, "I'm free tomorrow."
Yun Qiao nodded and said, "Then let's go together. Mom and Dad will accompany you."
So after dinner, the family of four headed towards the park.
There were a lot of people in the park on weekends. In the first year after the college entrance examination was resumed, major universities in Beijing enrolled nearly 10,000 college students. With the arrival of the first weekend after school started, these college students left the campus and began to familiarize themselves with the city where they would live in the next few years.
There are many people who look like college students in the park, exuding the atmosphere of youth and hope. Although they are a bit noisy, they also inject a bit of lively vitality into the quiet park.
Yun Qiao didn't dislike the hustle and bustle, but she felt a little annoyed by having to queue up longer when taking a boat tour. After all, she never had to queue up when taking a boat tour in the park before.
I don’t know if it’s because the park is not big or if it’s just fate.
Perhaps it was fate that they met Yan Jing, Wan Li and the other two as soon as they started queuing.
They came back from boating on the lake, and when they saw Yun Qiao and the others after getting off the boat, they came over and advised them not to queue.
"There's a cold wind blowing over the lake, chilling people to the bone." Yan Jingwan touched Qin Lang and Qin Shuo's ears and said, "Look, both of you have red ears from the cold."
"If you want to play, let's come back later. It's too cold, there are too many people and we have to queue. Anyway, we are in Beijing and can come anytime we want."
Yun Qiao was a little hesitant after hearing what Yan Jingwan said, but he didn't want to spoil the children's fun: "Yanyan, Xiaoyi, do you want to take a boat ride?"
He Yan glanced at his aunt's messy hair, and Qin Lang and Qin Shuo's red ears, and shook his head decisively: "I don't want to think about it anymore."
She didn't want to be cold.
And what my aunt said was not wrong. They live in the capital now and can come here by boat anytime they want.
Then let's wait until the weather gets warmer.
He Yi wanted to say something, but his sister glared at him and he immediately changed his mind: "I don't want to take the boat either. Let's go down the slide."
"Hmm."
But they searched the park and couldn't find the slide. After asking around and finding the supposed slide, they discovered it was actually a stone slab between two steps of the pavilion.
Because it has been used as a slide by children for many years, it has been rubbed smooth and shiny by the children's buttocks.
