Lai Yanling's words made Song Zhiyao scratch her head in embarrassment. There really was no excuse for next time, and she mentioned all the expired bills.

When their eldest sister came back, Song Ruyun and Song Zihao would glance outside from time to time. They didn't expect to see this side of Song Zhiyao. The two siblings were whispering to each other.

They even laughed. Song Zhiyao knew what the two little kids were talking about. From their expressions and actions, she knew they were laughing at Lai Yanling for nagging her.

I didn't care about the embarrassment and just wanted to teach these two brats a lesson, "Mom, I've bought the meat. We're going to have beef hotpot tonight. I've been a little tired from work these past few days, so I want to eat some meat to replenish my energy.

I'm going to check my brother and sister's homework now to see if they are slacking off."

The tone of the last sentence became serious. When the two siblings who were still whispering heard it, they didn't care to say anything else and just sat up straight and did their homework, so that they could eat the beef as soon as possible.

If Song Zhiyao knew that they had been slacking off just now, she might punish them by making them copy the text several times tonight.

Little did they know that Song Zhiyao had seen their actions clearly and was thinking about how to punish them.

Lai Yanling did not lecture her daughter any further. She felt sorry for Song Zhiyao's hard work these days. After becoming a regular employee, she went out early and came back late every day, so today was still considered an early day for her to return home.

"Zhiyao, go in and have a rest first, and take a look at how they are doing recently. If they don't satisfy you, they won't have meat to eat tonight, and they will have to watch us eat."

The two siblings, who were longing for meat, thought that their elder sister would definitely find fault with them because of their ridicule when they heard Lai Yanling's words.

Seeing them like this, Song Zhiyao deliberately said to Lai Yanling outside, "Mom, don't worry, I will check carefully whether the two of them are lazy, and I will definitely not show any favoritism."

Knowing that her younger brothers and sisters would definitely not be lazy, Song Zhiyao still deliberately teased them and found faults in their homework books.

Song Ruyun pulled her hand and acted like a spoiled child, "Sister, my dear sister, what do you want me to do? I just did my homework quickly, and you said I wasn't serious because my handwriting was a little ugly."

She ignored her sister's coquetry, but she really liked it. She deliberately said in a serious tone, "Ruyun, I'm not trying to find fault with you. Once you develop this habit, in the exam, in order to speed up, the teacher who grades the papers won't understand what you wrote and will think you did something wrong."

The teacher assigns a lot of homework, and it is understandable that students write quickly and sloppily. Song Zhiyao is aware of this and wants to correct her sister's habit.

Seeing that she realized her mistake, Song Zhiyao stopped criticizing her and instead praised her, "Ruyun, you are very smart and you got every question right. It can be seen that you have been studying very hard during this period.

I am happy for you, so I will reward you with more beef tonight."

Song Ruyun, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, thought she had no chance of eating meat tonight after hearing her sister's criticism, but she didn't expect something unexpected to happen.

Holding Song Zhiyao's arm, she said coquettishly, "I knew that my sister couldn't bear that I couldn't eat beef, but don't worry, sister, I understand what you just said, and I promise not to do it again in the future."

However, his younger brother Song Zihao did not make any mistakes, and his handwriting was even more correct than before. From his handwriting, we could see that he was a very smart and simple child.

It has been so long since she came back, and although this younger brother doesn't talk much, he has changed a lot since the first time they met, and he will do everything his sister asks him to do.

Song Zhiyao felt a sense of accomplishment. Looking at his eager eyes, even without hearing what he was thinking, she knew that he also wanted to be close to her as his sister.

She patted his head and said gently, "Zihao has made great progress recently. I hope you get a good grade in the final exam. I will reward you with a gift then."

Song Zhiyao did not refuse her sister's request. Children's requests were not very high. They were all very sensible and would not go too far.

"If you can do what you said, I will take you out to buy gifts after the final exams, and buy each of you a new set of clothes for the New Year."

Even though they were old enough to know about the difficulties at home, they were still children after all. When they heard about the gifts and new clothes, the two siblings did not hide their good mood at all.

Song Zihao, who is always reserved, also showed a look of joy on his face.

"Sister is the best!" Song Ruyun jumped up and clapped her hands happily, then hugged Song Zhiyao tightly.

Song Zihao did not make such a big move. Seeing his second sister happy, he couldn't help but move closer to Song Zhiyao.

Lai Yanling, who was cooking outside, heard Song Zhiyao's words and wanted to stop her, but when she saw the three children talking so happily, she did not get involved.

I just thought that next time they went shopping, I would give the money to Song Zhiyao.

After making them happy for a while, Song Zhiyao strictly pulled them to do their homework, and gave them guidance from time to time. Perhaps because of the gifts or other things, the two of them were more serious than before.

[Just now my elder sister touched that stinky boy Song Zihao. No, I have to work harder. I hope my elder sister will only praise me in the future and not let that boy outdo her.]

Song Zhiyao, who was about to instruct Song Ruyun, was a little amused and helpless when she heard the sudden voice of her family. She usually would not listen to the voices of her family members unless there was something important.

Unexpectedly, what she heard this time was so funny. She was about to knock Song Ruyun on the head. Was she competing for favor with her brother?

Then I heard Song Zihao thinking in his mind, "My eldest sister likes my second sister more as soon as she comes back. I, as her younger brother, don't have much sense of existence. This can't go on."

In this final exam, I must get a good score to impress my eldest sister and steal the limelight from my second sister. 】

Song Zhiyao had not expected that her younger siblings would like her so much. When she saw them getting along with each other, she didn't see any secret competition between them. Instead, she felt that they were very close.

Now she is looking forward to their final exam results.

"Come and eat. I cooked half of the beef tonight. I'll save the rest for tomorrow morning to make some for you to take to the hospital. You're getting busier and busier now. The workload is heavy and you need to eat more meat."

After Lai Yanling finished speaking, she brought out a pot of steaming hot beef, which was covered with chili peppers and chopped green onions. The smell was very appetizing, and it was a blessing to eat hot beef in such a cold winter.

The beef was cut into large pieces, and the bottom was covered with potatoes and vegetables. The meat, vegetables and soup made it very appetizing.

They all ate very full at this dinner. Song Ruyun touched her bulging belly and said, "It would be so happy if we could eat so much meat at every meal."
