For dinner, Zhao Yian got stuffed tofu and braised chicken wings as he wished. He grabbed the chicken wings, which were huge for him, with both hands and ate until his mouth was full of oil.
Lin Yan put a piece of stuffed tofu in his bowl. Zhao Yian raised his greasy face and thanked him: "Thank you, Daddy."
While eating, Yu Ge'er pushed the door open and came in. Zhao Yian turned his head and shouted, "Uncle, you're back!"
Yu Ge'er walked to the dining table and ruffled Zhao Yian's hair. "Yeah, I haven't seen our An An for several days. I miss him so much."
Li Yuemei stood up to serve Yu Ge'er some rice, but Yu Ge'er stopped her and said, "Mo, don't bother, I've already eaten." He then handed the roast duck to Li Yuemei and said, "Add another dish."
"Wow, I want to eat duck legs!" Zhao Yian cheered.
Yu Ge'er tapped his little nose: "Yours is indispensable."
Lin Yan tore off a duck leg for Zhao Yian to chew on, and asked Yu Ge'er with a smile: "Did Yang Xu give it to you?"
Yu Ge'er's face suddenly turned red. He lowered his head and looked around, "Oh, I want to eat some chicken wings."
Lin Yan chuckled and said, "Sorry for the inconvenience."
Last year, Yang Xu's family opened a shop on North Street, selling live ducks and butchered ducks. The business was booming. At the beginning of this year, Yang Xu learned how to roast duck and set up a cooked food stall on West Street, specializing in roast duck, braised duck wings and duck feet, and braised duck intestines. Because they tasted good and they used hunger marketing, they limited the number of roast ducks and braised ducks to ten per day. They would close the stall after they sold out, and they made a lot of money.
Yu Ge'er made his own money and often went to buy vegetables for his family. He happened to meet Yang Xu who was selling cooked food. Yang Xu insisted on giving him a roast duck. Yu Ge'er couldn't refuse, so he accepted it. From then on, he often visited his cooked food stall. After a few visits, the two of them had some feelings for each other.
Everyone in the family saw it and was just waiting for the Yang family to propose marriage. However, Yu Ge'er didn't want to get married so soon. He wanted to stay at home for two more years. Yang Xu didn't make the decision, so he didn't want to say it out loud. If Yang Xu really came to propose marriage, he would discuss it with him then.
After dinner, Zhao Shiyun took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Lin Yan was tired after a day and planned to go back to his room to rest for a while. When he opened the door, he saw that the room was intact and he breathed a sigh of relief.
I used to think the homes of those with young children were too messy, and I figured if I took care of a child myself, I wouldn't mess it up. Who would have guessed it was because I didn't understand the situation? When children reach a certain age, they just love throwing things. When Zhao Yian was a little over a year old and could stand, he'd run around the room, digging up everything and throwing it. Lin Yan followed behind him, picking up everything, and he was miserable. He tried to talk to him, but he didn't understand.
The situation did not improve until he was over two years old and had become more sensible. He would still throw things occasionally, but would change after being scolded. Every time Lin Yan returned to his room and saw the mess, he would get a headache.
He found some spare clothes for himself and Zhao Yian, planning to take a shower once the water got hot.
Zhao Shiyun put away the dishes and went to the kitchen to check. The water was hot. He brought the hot water back to the room and poured it into the bathtub. After a few times, there was enough water. "Brother Yan, you can take a bath."
"Oh, okay." Lin Yan put down the account book in his hand and responded.

After taking a shower, Lin Yan held Zhao Yian in his arms and watched the stars in the yard, enjoying the cool breeze. It was early summer, and the temperature was gradually rising, and the number of mosquitoes was increasing. "Brother Shi Yun, let's smoke some moxa sticks later. There were mosquitoes last night."
"Okay, I'll fumigate after I take a shower."
Zhao Yian was drowsy in Lin Yan's arms. He suddenly remembered what he had talked about with Nan Ge'er today, so he asked, "Daddy, why don't I have a younger brother?"
Lin Yan choked and almost bit his tongue. He coughed a few times before calming down. "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Brother Nan already has a younger brother. He asked me today when I would have a younger brother. I also want a younger brother." Zhao Yian muttered softly.
Lin Yan laughed in silence. He patted Zhao Yian on the back and said softly, "You want a brother so much? Then daddy will give you a brother next year, okay?"
Zhao Yian's eyes lit up, and he raised his head suddenly, "Really?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "It should be true. I will discuss it with your father tonight. However, children cannot eavesdrop when adults are discussing, otherwise it will not count."
"Then I'll sleep with my uncle tonight. You guys discuss it." Zhao Yian jumped down and wanted to run to find Yu Ge'er.
Lin Yan quickly grabbed his clothes and said, "Wait a minute!"
Zhao Yian struggled, unable to move forward. He stopped and asked, "What are you doing, Daddy?"
Lin Yan whispered, "You can only tell your uncle that you miss him and want to sleep with him. You can't tell your father and grandpa that you are discussing having a younger brother, otherwise you will fail."
"Why?" Zhao Yian didn't understand.
"Don't let anyone else know about this, otherwise you won't have a brother anymore, understand?"
Zhao Yian nodded in understanding, "I understand, Dad."
Lin Yan let him go and said, "Then go ahead."
When Zhao Shiyun came out after fumigating with moxa sticks, he saw that Lin Yan was the only one in the yard. He asked curiously, "Where's An An?"
Lin Yan's ears turned red. "He said he missed Yu Ge'er and wanted to sleep with him."
"Oh, then I'll go wash up, you should go too."
"Um."

That night, Zhao Shiyun lowered the curtains and blew out the oil lamp. Only a faint moonlight shone into the room. Lin Yan lay on the bed, his heart beating a little faster for some reason. He turned around and looked at Zhao Shiyun in the darkness, "Do you know what An An asked me just now?"
Zhao Shiyun tidied himself up and lay down on the bed. Hearing this, he asked curiously, "What do you want to ask?"
Lin Yan's face flushed a little: "He said he wanted a younger brother."
Zhao Shiyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled. He hugged Lin Yan in the dark and whispered in his ear: "Is it him who wants it, or you?"
Lin Yan hit him and pursed his lips in embarrassment. Zhao Shiyun turned his face and gently kissed his lips, prying open his teeth. Lin Yan trembled a little. Since An An was born, they could only have sex once in a long time. It would be a lie to say that he didn't miss it.
Zhao Shiyun's hand stroked Lin Yan's belt, and with a pull, the clothes were untied. In a few seconds, the clothes were thrown under the bed. Lin Yan moaned, reached out to hug Zhao Shiyun, and his whole body softened.
The night is still long...
