"I'm glad you like it. Then eat more. Tomorrow I'll cook some of your hometown dishes for you. Just tell me what you want to eat. If I don't know how, I'll learn. Although I'm a rough person, I can cook very delicately."
Shu Ying looked at her gratefully, her words carrying a hint of unconscious coquetry.
"I'm so lucky, how could I have such a wonderful older sister?"
Xie Mingzhu was overjoyed by her flattery. "Now I know why these two little ones have such sweet words. They learned it from you, their mother. With just a few words, you can practically coax people to death."
Shu Ying picked at the food in her bowl, her face full of gentle smiles. "I'm telling the truth."
After dinner, Shu Ying took the initiative to wash the dishes. The household chores were always clearly divided. Xie Mingzhu used to do almost everything by herself, but later Shu Ying felt that she was working hard, so she would help her with some things as much as she could.
Xie Mingzhu's education level is not very high. She always likes to watch the children do their homework. Over time, she can also learn some things from them. In just one week, she has already learned more than a hundred characters.
Shu Ying came out of the kitchen, dried her hands, and saw the warm light in the living room shining on Xie Mingzhu and the two children. The children were doing their homework attentively, and Xie Mingzhu was sitting on the sofa, gently fanning the two children. A warm feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
Xie Mingzhu's love for the children was genuine. She could tell that her sister enjoyed this companionship. Perhaps it was because she had lost a child and wanted to make up for the regret in her heart. Thinking of the child who disappeared before even having a chance to open his eyes to see the world, Shu Ying looked at Xie Mingzhu with even more heartache.
No mother could accept such a cruel reality: that child had truly shared a heart with her, and in the later stages, the mother could feel the child's every move inside.
Whether the child is excited or quiet, over the course of ten months, every little change in that little one brings joy to the mother.
However, growing up requires overcoming many obstacles. In the end, that little guy had no chance to leave this world. He left gracefully, but his mother missed him for a lifetime.
Yueyue and Yangyang finish their homework very quickly. The lessons taught by the teachers at school are generally not difficult, so the learning pace is actually quite slow. At this age, the teachers at school also focus on cultivating children's independence, so the pace of learning is somewhat relaxed.
Fortunately, the two children often study at home, and compared to their peers, Yueyue and Yangyang have one of the best vocabulary and reading volumes.
"Auntie, could you please take down that English picture book on top for me? I've finished my homework and read all the picture books below. Mom said that English picture book has phonetic symbols, so my brother and I can understand it."
Yueyue put her homework into her schoolbag and looked at Xie Mingzhu with anticipation.
Xie Mingzhu's smile deepened, her eyes almost squinting into slits. A child's eagerness to learn makes things much easier for parents.
She reached out and took the picture book from the top of the bookshelf. "Auntie will put the picture books at the bottom for you, and the ones you and your brother don't read often will be on top. This way it will be easier for you to read them, okay?"
