After hanging up the phone, Dean Chen sighed, opened the drawer next to him, and took out several bottles of medicine.
"Should we tell this child or not? If we do, won't that just make him worry? Xinghe is such a good child!"
Dean Chen's biggest dream is to raise these children to adulthood or find them a good family to adopt them and give them a wealthy life. These children have not had a happy and fulfilling childhood while they are with her.
"Grandma Dean, are you sick?" A little girl ran in from outside, her voice still a bit childish.
"Xiaoyu, the dean just has a cold. He'll take some medicine. Why don't you go and share the gifts with your older brothers and sisters?"
"Let the older brothers and sisters choose first, I'll choose last, there are still so many left, aren't there?"
Dean Chen stretched out his arm, and Xiaoyu happily jumped into Dean Chen's arms, then rubbed against him.
"Grandma Dean, does it itch?"
"It itches, it itches, slow down, Xiaoyu."
"Grandma Dean, I heard from my older brothers and sisters that this is a gift from Brother Xinghe. Does that mean Brother Xinghe isn't planning to come back for the New Year?"
"Little girl, who told you that?"
"That's what all the older brothers and sisters say, isn't it, Grandma Director?"
"Do you want Xinghe to come back?"
"Of course I miss him! I haven't seen Brother Xinghe for so long, I miss him so much, I'm afraid he's forgotten Xiaoyu."
"You silly girl, how could your Xinghe brother forget you? Your Xinghe brother will be back in a few days!"
"Really? Grandma Dean, you're not lying to Xiaoyu, are you? Xiaoyu isn't a child anymore!"
"Why would I lie to you, Xiaoyu? When has Grandma Dean ever lied to you?"
"Hehe, I'm so happy! I'm going to tell my older brothers and sisters that Xinghe is coming back soon!"
Dean Chen looked at the little girl running away and a smile appeared on his face. Perhaps this was the meaning of her life.
The next day, Wang Xinghe and Su Muqing got up early and went to the airport to pick someone up after breakfast.
"When Su Zhengshan and Aunt Li come back, the driver can just pick them up. Why do we have to go?" Su Ke'er yawned as she came downstairs.
"Su Ke'er, Su Zhengshan is your father. It's very impolite of you to call him by his full name so often!"
"Big sister, I know, it's because I just woke up and my mind hasn't processed yet."
"If you don't want to go, you don't have to. Xinghe and I will go."
"That won't do. If you and Xinghe both go, and I don't go, wouldn't that make me seem unfilial?"
Su Muqing shook her head speechlessly upon hearing this; this girl was truly filial.
"Come and eat, we'll leave after we finish eating."
"You're here, big sister."
When the three arrived at the airport, Su Zhengshan and Li Lian had not yet landed.
"It seems we've arrived too early; Dad and Aunt Li haven't come yet."
"Wait a moment."
"Big sister, Xinghe, wait a moment, I'm going to buy something." Su Ke'er hurriedly ran towards a store.
"Where are you going? Xinghe, go follow this girl. If she gets recognized, she won't be able to get away easily."
"OK."
"Fourth Sister, where are you going? Slow down."
"Oh dear, there's no time! I saw some signs for picking up passengers over there. I need to make one for Aunt Li and my dad."
"You ran so fast just to make a sign for people picking up passengers at the airport?"
"Of course, it's perfect timing. You have good handwriting, so you can write it. Otherwise, with so many people around, they wouldn't be able to see me."
"Okay, I'll write it."
Following Su Ke'er's instructions, Wang Xinghe wrote the characters. Su Ke'er then used her elementary school-level drawing skills to draw a couple.
"Mission accomplished! Let's go."
When Su Muqing saw Wang Xinghe and Su Ke'er coming over with the pick-up signs, she pointed at Su Ke'er.
"You silly girl, you ran so fast just to buy a sign for picking someone up at the airport?"
"Oh dear, I was just worried I wouldn't make it in time. So, how's my airport pickup sign?"
"The calligraphy is good, and the painting looks like it was done by a human."
"Big sister, I hate you! Why are you saying that to me! If you want to praise Xinghe, just say so. I draw so well, right, Xinghe? Do you think I draw well?"
"Fourth sister, even if you used one percent of your singing talent on painting, you wouldn't end up like this."
"Am I really that bad at drawing? Why are you all criticizing me? I'm not playing with you guys anymore!"
"Alright, Ke'er, stop shouting. Didn't you see? A lot of people are looking this way. If you get recognized, you'll be in big trouble."
Upon hearing Su Muqing's words, Su Ke'er immediately quieted down and hid behind Wang Xinghe.
"You can't see me, you don't recognize me, I'm not Su Ke'er."
Isn't this girl trying to hide something obvious?
"Dad, Aunt Li, welcome home!"
"Dad! You're finally back! I missed you so much!" Su Ke'er saw Su Zhengshan throw the airport pick-up sign into Wang Xinghe's arms and immediately went over to hug Su Zhengshan.
"Alright, alright, you're so grown up, yet you're still so clumsy and rough around the edges. Look at Xinghe."
"Dad! I miss you so much about this, and you still say these things to me. I'm heartbroken. I won't forgive you unless I get a gift!"
"Haha, don't worry, all five of you siblings will receive a gift."
"Really? Dad, you're so good to us! I love you all so much! Let's go home and open our presents!"
"You silly girl, do you want me to come back, or do you want your gift to come back?"
"Of course we want Aunt Li and Dad to come back together!"
Su Ke'er took the opportunity to link arms with Li Lian.
Li Lian's smile was also very bright.
"Ke'er, I also brought you a gift."
"Really? Aunt Li, you're so good to me, I like you so much!"
With such a lively character around, the atmosphere among them is quite good.
"Mom, you're back."
"Xinghe, I'm so happy that you came to pick us up at the airport today."
"Mom, this is the right thing to do. Let's talk about it when we get home."
"Okay, let's go."
"Xinghe, do you think your mom has gained a little weight?" On the way, Li Lian kept looking at her face in the mirror.
"Mom, maybe there's just a tiny bit."
"Su Zhengshan! Did you hear that? My son said I've gained a little weight, and you still say I haven't! It's all your fault!"
"Okay, okay, Xiaolian, it's my fault, it's my fault."
"From now on, you're not allowed to eat late-night snacks, and I'll have to eat with you!"
"Haha, Xinghe, look at your mom, she complains about me as soon as she gains a little weight."
"Mom, if you've gained weight while you've been with Uncle Su, doesn't that mean you've been doing well these past few months? Uncle Su has been taking good care of you."
"Yes, Xiaolian, Xinghe is right."
"I don't care, just don't call me for late-night snacks anymore, I'm on a diet!"
"Aunt Li, haven't you heard the saying, 'The more you try to lose weight, the fatter you get'? Look at me, everyone around me tells me not to eat, but I still secretly eat."
