This year's models were the same as last year, with the addition of Fu Bao and Ying Bao among the children. When the four kids came out wearing the trendy outfits that Li Mai specially designed for the adorable children, everyone was amazed. They looked so beautiful.
Li Mai also had a big smile on her face. She was such an adorable child in ancient style. She was so attractive.
In addition, the clothes they wore this year were specially designed for them by Li Mai. The four children look like two pairs of twins, which is enviable and rare.
The four kids were quite bold; as they walked, they waved and smiled at the people around them—this was something their senior brother Chu Yan had taught them.
Several young women nearby were so charmed by the children that they exclaimed, "Whose kids are these? They want to steal them and raise them themselves! They're just too cute!"
Xu Changhuan, Xu Yue, and Zhou Tao sat side by side, watching their children's happy faces and chuckling to themselves.
They were genuinely happy wearing their new clothes.
Because the children were so outstanding, when the final summary report came out this year, children's clothing orders accounted for 40% of the total.
Li Mai sighed; the four children had really done a great job.
On August 18th, Li Mai and Xu Changhuan took the children to the Zhou family to see Xu Yue's baby. Li Mai praised the four children, saying, "You four have made great contributions to our fashion show this year. Each of you can make a request or wish to me, and I will fulfill it."
Zhuzhu, Nannan, and Dongdong didn't walk the runway this year; they've started working to earn pocket money.
Of course, their families were well-off and gave them pocket money, but since they were willing to learn how to do things, Li Mai asked Chu Yan to take them to make arrangements.
While Yanbao and Yubao were whispering to each other, Fubao and Yingbao were also whispering to each other.
They quickly reached an agreement.
"Mom, can I keep a pet?" Yanbao asked.
"Yes, Mom, me too. I want to raise one, either a fox or a wolf."
Li Mai's lips twitched.
"Auntie, can I raise fish?" Yingbao asked in her childish voice.
"Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow." Zhuzhu's fish tank is full of fish now, and the children will come to her room to see the fish whenever they want.
“Auntie, I want a monkey,” Fu Bao said.
Li Mai raised an eyebrow. "Why do you want a monkey?"
“I want the monkeys to teach me how to fly,” Fu Bao said.
"How can a monkey fly?" Li Mai was even more surprised.
"In the story that Sister Zhuzhu told me, monkeys can fly." Fubao pointed to Zhuzhu, who was smiling and talking to Zhao Shi on the other side.
Zhuzhu and Limai's eyes met, and she said shyly, "Mom, Sun Wukong."
Li Mai chuckled, "I see, I understand!"
"Okay, Auntie will do her best to find it for you."
Li Mai agreed, then looked at her child and asked speechlessly, "Who told you that foxes and wolves are pets for children?"
The two children turned around together and pointed to their maidservant standing not far away.
The two girls were so frightened that they knelt down with a thud. Oh my god...
Li Mai glanced back and said, "Oh, Luo's maids? It's alright then. They all have their own spaces, and they keep quite a few exotic beasts inside!"
"Madam, we are guilty!" The two women knelt down in fear and begged for mercy.
Li Mai glanced at them and said, "Since you know you made a mistake, next time be careful about what you can and cannot say to the young master and young lady."
"Yes, we will remember!" the two quickly replied.
"Hmm, get up. Since you say that foxes and wolves can be kept as pets, you will be punished by taking the young master and young lady to catch them. If you catch them, you can keep them; if you don't, you won't."
"Okay?"
Is this okay? Li Mai was looking at Yan Bao and Yu Bao.
When the two women saw their maid kneeling down, they realized they had said something wrong and were being scolded by their mother. They were already regretting their words when they heard their mother's question, so they quickly nodded.
“Okay, then let’s wait until the end of the month. Your parents will take you out for a trip. We’ll go deep into the mountains and forests. Your mother will catch monkeys for Fu Bao, and your girls will catch foxes and wolves for you,” Li Mai said with a smile.
The children were immediately delighted to hear this.
The children went outside to play, and Xu Yue frowned, asking, "Sister-in-law, isn't it dangerous?"
Li Mai smiled and said, "It's nothing. I was just teasing them. How can they keep those kinds of things in town? I'll have the fabric workshop make them a fabric item."
"But the end of the month is just the right time to go out for a walk, as the weather will get colder and colder later on," Li Mai said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yue and Xu Changhuan both breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Mai's serious demeanor just now even intimidated them.
After returning home, Li Mai told Zhou Quan about what happened at the Zhou family's place that day.
“I’ll give them a little talking-to another day. We can’t spoil the kids and tell them everything,” Zhou Quan said.
“Don’t talk about the maids. They were scared enough by me today. Our child is different from other children. It’s normal for him to like small animals. You should teach our child yourself so that he can learn to make his own judgments and not believe everything others say,” Li Mai said to him.
The important thing is not the two maids, but the issue of their own children's values. In the future, there will be more and more people around them, and they can't possibly reprimand each and every one of them!
"Okay, I understand!"
So, that night, when Zhou Quan was leading the two children in their cultivation, he began to incorporate some stories and popular science knowledge about the differences between humans and animals, and between domesticated animals and wild animals.
At the end of August, a group of people went on a trip for a few days. They went to a mountain in the northeast and pitched tents in the wild at night, letting the children experience what it's like to camp in the wild.
