Volume 1 Chapter 107 Four Treasures in the House
On Saturday morning, the Du family's study was filled with a strange, harmonious and warm atmosphere.
Xu Jingmo was doing international competition questions, Xu Siyan was doing elementary school Olympiad math questions, and Du Yao was doing elementary school math problems.
Du Ruo is watching TV series with headphones on.
She was peeling apples and pears in her hands, cutting them into various strange shapes and feeding them to the three people.
It started with simple hearts, triangles, and stars.
Slowly, it turned into the shape of a puppy, a cat, and a rabbit.
The three of them looked at each other. It was just peeling an apple. How could it evolve?
Du Ruo sat there like a teacher supervising an exam, his presence was majestic.
The three of them wrote furiously, their eyes fixed on the book. The only sounds in the study were the rustling of pages turning and pens scratching across paper. It was a peaceful place.
The only one who was dissatisfied was Xu Jingmo. If he were in Beicheng, every time he finished a set of test questions, Du Ruo would give him more than just a prettier apple as a reward.
But since there are children around, he has to be a good role model for his older brother.
Wen Jiahuan and Xu Yichu passed by the door and went downstairs quietly.
Wen Jiahuan whispered, "It's great that Ruobao is back. I never dared to imagine such a heartwarming scene before. It's so lucky for a family to have these four children."
Xu Yichu smiled and said, "Ruoruo has changed a lot since she came back this time. She didn't have the patience to coax the children before. Every time she came back, she would sit in front of the computer and read some incomprehensible documents. We didn't dare to disturb her and we couldn't even talk to her for a few words."
Wen Jiahuan sighed: "The children have grown up and become more sensible. It's great to have a little cotton-padded jacket. You and Lao Du really know how to educate children. Both children are so sensible. Look at our Lao Xu. The three of us didn't go home last night. We didn't even get a phone call."
Xu Yichu patted her hands and comforted her, "Don't think too much. Let's go shopping and make something delicious for the children in the afternoon."
"Okay!" Wen Jiahuan replied with a smile.

Xu Xingzhi woke up from his hangover, walked downstairs, and looked at the silent house, without any trace of life.
The auntie came out from the rest room and asked, "Sir, would you like to have breakfast?"
Xu Xingzhi asked: "Where are they?"
Auntie responded, "Madam and the young masters all stayed at the Du family last night and haven't come back yet."
"No more."
Xu Xingzhi turned around and went upstairs again. He pushed open the door of the master bedroom and found no signs of anyone having lived there.
Last night at dinner, he and Wen Jiahuan parted ways unpleasantly again, so he went out to drink.
When I came back in the middle of the night, I felt like I was going to be locked out again, so I went straight to the guest room to rest.
Unexpectedly, my wife and son were not at home.
No one cares whether he will come back or not.

Du Yao's performance today was nothing short of a miracle.
Except for meal and lunch breaks, I sat at my desk and studied diligently all day long.
Du Qian passed by the study several times, wondering in his heart, is this still his son? Could he be possessed by something?
In fact, Du Yao was distracted by the urge to play games countless times, but when he looked up, he saw Xu Jingmo and Xu Siyan working hard on their homework, so he gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.
He had agreed to study all day on Saturday, and he couldn't go back on his word, or he would be looked down upon.
Maybe it was because there were so many people with him, or maybe it was because he didn't want Du Ruo to continue to mock him, but after studying seriously for a whole day, he suddenly felt that math problems were not so scary.
By dinner time, his study for the day was over, but he still felt a little unsatisfied.
Du Ruo checked his accuracy at a glance. He stood aside, so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe. He had never been so anxiously looking forward to anything before.
In less than a minute, Du Ruo collected the exercise book. Du Yao: ???
He worked so hard on the questions for the whole day! Why is he so perfunctory?
Du Ruo stood up, rubbed his head with relief, and said, "Facts have proven that genetic inheritance follows certain scientific laws. After all, he is my brother."
She walked away leisurely. Du Yao was full of questions. He turned around and asked, "Si Yan, do you understand?"
Xu Siyan nodded, "She said you are her brother."
Du Yao was puzzled, "If I'm not her brother, then whose brother could I be?"
Xu Jingmo, the Duruo brand translator, explained online: "She meant to praise you for your intelligence."
“…”
Du Yao and Xu Siyan sincerely admired: "It has to be you, brother."
A few people went downstairs and saw Xu Yichu and Du Qian skewering grilled ingredients.
Wen Jiahuan was cooking in the kitchen, and the air was filled with fragrance.
“It smells so good!!!”
Du Yao followed the smell into the kitchen and surrounded Wen Jiahuan, praising him repeatedly.
He had the opportunity to eat meals cooked by Wen Jiahuan only a few times on Xu Siyan's birthday, and he could not forget them.
Wen Jia laughed and said, "Your mother said you like curry beef, so Auntie prepared it for you."
"Auntie Wen, your cooking skills are so amazing. I'm drooling just by smelling it!"
Xu Siyan said proudly: "Of course, my mother is a professional and has a chef's license."
Du Ruo asked curiously, "Auntie Wen has studied cooking before?"
Xu Jingmo explained calmly, "When she and my dad were studying abroad, my dad couldn't get used to eating white food, so she enrolled in a cooking class specifically for my dad."
Du Ruo was startled, but saw that everyone else looked normal, and it was obvious that they all knew about this.
Wen Jiahuan didn't mind and joked, "Well, everyone has been young. If you like someone, you want to do your best to treat him well. I was able to win over your Uncle Xu because I captured his stomach."
Du Yao didn't understand the twists and turns of adult relationships. He just asked his father after hearing this, "Dad, my mom can't cook, how did she win you over?"
Du Qian replied: "She is beautiful. I fell in love with her at first sight."
Du Yao shook his head in disdain, "Eh, you are so superficial."
"..." Du Qian glanced at him coldly, what a filial son he is.
Du Yao was a child and said nothing. He looked at Xu Jingmo and asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, how did my sister win you over?"
"..."Xu Jingmo didn't expect that he was involved in this. This brat, does he know how to be grateful?
Everyone in the room, young and old, cast curious glances at him.
We know that these two are in love, but no one knows how they are in love.
Xu Jingmo turned his head and glanced at Du Ruo, staring into her clear and flawless eyes, and replied: "Eyes."
At the first sight of meeting, they saw the stubbornness and pride in each other's souls, and began their complicated fate.
All the excitement that followed was irreversible.
Du Ruo raised the corners of his lips slightly with satisfaction.
Du Yao shook his head, not understanding, and asked Xu Siyan quietly, "What do the eyes mean?"
Xu Siyan touched his chin and replied, "Eyes, the look in the eyes, it means Sister Du Ruo has beautiful eyes."
Is that so? ?
Du Yao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

After preparing the ingredients, everyone went to the backyard and started the BBQ feast.
The three adults sat in the gazebo, drinking fermented grape juice and chatting.
Du Ruo and the other three were playing an outdoor karaoke machine.
Du Yao held a grilled chicken wing in his left hand and a microphone in his right hand, and announced enthusiastically: "The next song is dedicated to my dear sister."
"You look so pretty when you smile
Like spring flowers
Put all your worries away
All the worries
All blown away..."
Xu Siyan joined the chorus midway through, and the two young boys sang passionately.
Du Ruo sat on the grass, smiling at them with a smile on her face, while Xu Jingmo looked at Du Ruo from the side and smiled.
In the pavilion, Wen Jiahuan looked at this heartwarming scene and couldn't help but burst into tears. Xu Yichu was also moved and hugged her, and they both cried together.
Du Qian was a little at a loss. He turned his head to look in the direction of the Xu family villa, and happened to meet the eyes of Xu Xingzhi who was standing in front of the window on the third floor.
He picked up a bottle of red wine and left silently.
