Fang Qiao, an outsider, quickly gained a direct understanding of the benefits that Lai'er had gained from working her way up in Li Dan's family.
That means Sweetie rarely pesters her for candy anymore.
Because Lyle has it.
Li Dan did everything she could to make sure her unborn child settled down as soon as possible, and treated Lai'er well.
But she didn't actually have much affection for Lyle and didn't know how to be a mother to Lyle, so she could only show it by buying things for Lyle. She would buy Lyle anything that other children had.
Other children all had floral dresses, but she bought one.
Other children have dolls, but she buys one.
Other children get to eat candy, so she buys some too.
Lyle shares everything with Sweetie, which means that Sweetie, who used to only eat one candy a day, is now like a little mouse that has fallen into a candy jar. She is completely immersed in a sea of candy, and her little drawer is full of colorful candy wrappers that she has eaten.
Seeing Tian Tian eating candy while drawing again, Fang Qiao couldn't help but remind her, "Eat less candy, too much candy will cause cavities."
"Okay, okay, I'll stop after I finish this one." Sweetie's response went in one ear and out the other, completely perfunctory.
Fang Qiao sighed helplessly, continued humming a nursery rhyme, and pushed An'an, who was sitting in the little bamboo cart, for a stroll.
After a while, Tian Tian suddenly walked up to Fang Qiao with a piece of drawing paper in her hand and presented it to her: "Auntie, here you go."
Fang Qiao asked, puzzled, "What is this?"
"A gift!" Sweetie shouted loudly.
Fang Qiao took it, glanced down at it, and found that it was a drawing made with a pencil.
The little girl drew two stick figures on a piece of white paper with her childish strokes, and also drew a few circles next to them.
Although the lines are crooked and not smooth, it is full of childlike fun.
"Sweetie, is this a drawing of your aunt?"
“Oh right.” Tian Tian pointed to the larger stick figure on the paper and said, “This is Auntie.”
He then pointed to the smaller stick figure: "This is me."
Then he pointed to the circles one by one with his finger: "This is An'an, and her little brother and sister in my belly."
Listening to the sweet explanation, Fang Qiao couldn't help but laugh.
If the first two stick figures are somewhat human-shaped, the last three are too sloppy, lacking arms and legs, and are simply three circles.
However, the child was still young, and it was the first time she had given a gift. The gift was small but the sentiment was deep, so Fang Qiao was still very happy and mainly praised and encouraged him.
Fang Qiao patted her head and said, "Sweetie, you're great. But why did you suddenly decide to give Auntie a gift?"
"Tomorrow is Teachers' Day. Our teachers work very hard to teach us, so all the children in the Yuhong Class will draw greeting cards as gifts for their teachers."
Sweetly reciting the teachers' words in her childish voice, she then said, "However, I think my aunt raised me very hard, and I also want to draw a greeting card for her."
"Oh, my darling, you're so thoughtful. Thank you for thinking of me, Auntie. I'm so happy. Come here, let me give you a kiss." Fang Qiao happily gave Tian Tian a kiss on the cheek.
Sure enough, the little girl is a sweet and caring daughter.
Look how thoughtful that is!
They're much more considerate than the three boys in Sister Guizhi's family.
Her three sons haven't sent Guizhi a greeting card in all these years, not even a wisp of air.
The contrast is absolutely stark!
After giving Fang Qiao a greeting card, Tian Tian didn't forget to give one to her Aunt Jing as well.
Xiaojing expressed her happiness in a rather subtle way, which was evident in the fact that she specially steamed egg custard for Tiantian in the evening, giving her an extra meal.
After dinner, when the topic of greeting cards came up, Cheng Baidong said jealously, "Sweetie, Auntie and Auntie both have greeting cards, and Uncle wants one too."
Sweetie shook her head: "No way! Uncle's never home, he never plays with me!"
"Because Uncle has to go to work," Cheng Baidong patiently explained to her. "Look, the food, vegetables, meat, and the steamed egg custard you eat at home are all bought with the wages Uncle earns from his job. If Uncle didn't go to work and stayed home with you every day, what would we eat and drink? Right?"
As he spoke, Cheng Baidong patted Tian Tian's little belly: "Sweetie, you won't get full just by drinking the northwest wind!"
Sweetie is a sensible child. After Cheng Baidong explained, she understood and decisively changed her attitude: "Then you should go to work."
Going to work means you get food and drinks, while staying home means nothing. So, going to work is more important!
It would be best if my uncle went to work every day, so there would be meat at home!
I think about it sweetly and happily.
Only then did he retrieve the greeting card he had drawn earlier from its hiding place and give it to Cheng Baidong.
"Uncle, keep it up! Go to work hard and buy some meat to eat!"
Cheng Baidong was amused by Tian Tian's sly and mischievous appearance and promised with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Uncle will work hard so that we can have meat every day in the future."
