But don't worry, Li Mei's work should be much less busy by then, and Li Ju can be handed over to her for teaching.
Li Ju responded and then walked aside to help Hu Guilan take care of the child.
Seeing this scene, Li Xu was deeply moved.
At the beginning, Li Ju was the most attached to him. Whenever he came home from get off work, she would rush over to him and ask him to play with her.
Now that I am a little older, I no longer do that. Instead, I help take care of the children at home whenever I have time.
This inevitably gave him the feeling that "my daughter has grown up"...
While thinking about it, Li Xu suddenly felt something hit his leg.
When he looked down, he saw a little face looking up at him, laughing and saying, "Uncle, play with me for a while."
The kid was missing a front tooth and looked a bit chubby, so his smile was quite funny. Li Xu bent down and pinched his cheek, saying with a smile, "Your front tooth has been knocked out, and you still want to play? Can't you just stay in the house and behave yourself for a while?"
The little kid defended himself, "I've been behaving well all day. I've been taking care of my younger brothers and sisters."
Li Xu asked in astonishment, "Is it true?"
Before the kid could say anything, Hu Guilan smiled and replied, "Really? Wenbo didn't play with the neighbor's kids today."
Hearing this, Li Xu smacked his lips and said, "Nephew, you've grown up. Tell your uncle why you didn't play with them."
Neighbors often visit the Li family and bring their children with them.
With so many playmates, Li Wenbai has a lot of fun every day after returning from the nursery.
Even though I accidentally knocked out one of my front teeth a few days ago, it didn’t affect my enthusiasm for playing at all.
So Li Xu believed that there must be another reason for his abnormal behavior today.
"If they don't play with my brother, I won't play with them."
Hu Guilan added, "The kids thought Hongtao and Botao cried all the time and didn't want to play with them. When Wenbo saw this, he simply stopped playing with them."
The twins Li Hongtao and Li Botao have been making a lot of noise since they were born, and everyone originally thought they would be difficult to deal with.
But I never expected that now that they are almost four years old, they are still difficult to deal with, but in a different way. They like to cry and make a fuss.
Even when playing with friends, I would cry if I bumped into something.
Kids these days are very tough, so naturally I can’t stand their personalities and don’t want to play with them.
However, there are usually parents around, so even if the children don't want to, they have to hold their noses and endure what they are told.
What's going on today?
Thinking of this, Li Xu asked the doubts in his heart.
Hu Guilan sighed, "Bo Tao accidentally tripped over someone's foot yesterday and started crying after falling. That child is Aunt Ding's grandson. As you know, during the drought a few years ago, the Ding family borrowed some grain from our family. Although they didn't use it much, they returned it quickly and even paid more. But they have always been grateful to our family.
So seeing this situation, Aunt Ding beat her grandson last night and told him to be more careful in the future. Today, when the other children heard about this, they absolutely refused to play with the Botao brothers, and they wouldn't even talk to their parents.
After hearing this, Li Xu was speechless. "Aunt Ding, what a fool! It's normal for children to have bumps and bruises when playing. Why hit them? Besides, everyone knows that the Botao brothers love to cry. If you hit them for that, no other child will dare to play with them in the future."
"That's what I said, but Aunt Ding didn't listen. She said there's no need to worry about it and it will be fine tomorrow."
It was clear without asking that Aunt Ding would definitely beat her grandson again today, so Li Xu said, "Why don't you tell Mom and ask her to go and persuade Aunt Ding."
"That's what I thought."
Seeing her response, Li Xu rubbed Li Wenbai's head and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, you are becoming more and more like a big brother."
Hearing the praise, Li Wenbai was so happy that he almost raised his head to the sky, and then showed an expectant expression, "Then can you play with me for a while?"
"Since you did a good job today, I'll give you this favor. Go, call Hongtao and Botao, and let's play together."
Li Xu felt that if he drove one sheep, he would drive two sheep away. Since he had decided to play with the children, he would call them both.
This will also reduce the pressure of taking care of children for Hu Guilan.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Wenbo, whom he had just praised for his big brother demeanor, shook his head repeatedly and said, "If we don't take them with us, if they cry again, we won't be able to play."
After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Li Xu's pants and walked out.
Li Xu exclaimed in his heart, "What a great guy!"
Brothers look at each other from the wall, and defend against external humiliation. You have really understood this saying...
It was a little dark at this time, but Li Wenbai didn't mind at all and started playing happily.
Du Hong, who was helping Yang Dong cook in the kitchen, heard the noise in the yard and couldn't help but walk to the door to check.
After seeing the two of them, he immediately laughed out loud, "You are really good, I let you go into the house to help my sister-in-law take care of the children, and you bring Wenbo to the yard to play."
"My younger sister is helping take care of the kids. As for playing with Wenbo, I'll explain it to you later."
Upon hearing this, Du Hong knew there was something else going on, so she responded and went back to cook.
Soon Li Ping came back from get off work.
After learning what Li Wenbai had done, he praised him highly.
Then Sun Xiu and his wife and Li Chen also came back.
It is worth mentioning that Li Jiakang took half a day off today to buy a new bicycle.
But he didn't seem to be very happy, his face looked extremely gloomy. As soon as he got out of the car, he grabbed Li Chen's collar and walked towards the main room.
