Zhao Yun ignored Zhou Hui's ugly expression and spoke a lot, "Aunt Mingzhu asked you to look after the child, and you agreed. You knew we were all going back, but you still left Daya alone on the hillside. What if she fell or encountered a snake?"

"Uncle Shen is not at home, and he entrusted Daya to Aunt Mingzhu's care. If Daya gets hurt, how will Aunt Mingzhu explain to Uncle Shen?"

Liang Xiaowen unconvincedly supported her mother, "Brother, it's not as serious as you say. Mom and I went for a walk on the hillside looking for wild vegetables and nothing happened."

"Besides, we called her when we were leaving, but she refused to leave and insisted on picking fruits there. Can my mother still drag her away by force?"

Zhao Yun snorted, "One should not break one's promise. One should do what one promised. Dad, do you think I am right?"

Zhao Dafa looked at his son with some surprise, "Not bad, little boy, you can reason now. All those years of studying have not been in vain."

"That is."

Zhao Yun took the opportunity to make a condition, "Dad, you should buy me a house too. Aunt Mingzhu has bought a house for Ziheng. I am the eldest brother but I don't have my own house. It would be embarrassing if I told others about it."

Before Zhao Dafa could speak, Zhou Hui said anxiously, "What's there to compare? Buying a house is not a trivial matter. You can't just buy it if you want to."

Zhao Yun sneered, "Aunt Hui, buying a house is not a small matter for others, but it is a small matter for my dad. My dad has plenty of money, so buying a house is nothing."

Zhao Dafa felt quite comfortable with his son's flattery, but he did not give in immediately.

"As long as you can get into junior high school, you can pick any house in Fengcheng."

Zhao Yun agreed readily, but Zhou Hui felt uncomfortable.

Everyone is buying a house, so what if she’s one more?

Fortunately, Liang Xiaowen is a smart girl and she playfully tries to please Zhao Dafa.

"Dad, what about me? If I pass the junior high school entrance exam, will you buy me a house too?"

Zhao Dafa smiled and put a piece of pork ribs into Liang Xiaowen's bowl. "Xiaowen, when you pass the junior high school entrance exam, Dad will give you a big gift too."

"I want a gift like yours, is that ok?"

Before Zhao Dafa could say anything, Zhao Yun on the opposite side started to retort, "Stupid scholar, could you please stop imitating me in everything?"

Liang Xiaowen pouted, “Dad, look at my brother, he bullies me again.”

Zhao Dafa turned around and scolded his son: "As a brother, can't you give in to your sister a little?"

Zhao Yun said confidently: "We are all human beings for the first time, why should I give in?"

Zhao Dafa was unable to refute for a moment.

Zhou Hui spoke up to smooth things over, "Okay, Xiaowen, stop comparing yourself to your brother all the time. Your brother is the eldest son and will inherit the family business in the future."

Liang Xiaowen pursed her lips in grievance, looking pitiful, "Dad, I don't want to compete with my brother, I just want to have the same gift as my brother. My brother has it, but I don't. My classmates will laugh at me and say that I am not your biological child and that you don't love me."

After some coquettish and pitiful behavior, Zhao Da was successfully moved.

"Well, when you get into junior high school, Dad will buy you a house."

"real?!"

Liang Xiaowen jumped off the stool and threw herself into Zhao Dafa's arms happily, "Thank you, Dad! I will study hard and make sure I'm in the top three at the end of this semester. I won't embarrass you."

"OK."

Liang Xiaowen attends Fengcheng No. 1 Primary School, one of the best primary schools in Fengcheng. Both its faculty and reputation far surpass those of Zhao Yun's Heping Primary School.

Correspondingly, the top three in the grade of a primary school are of quite high quality.

When Zhao Dafa first took a fancy to Zhou Hui, he thought she was educated and capable of educating children. He hoped that Zhou Hui could raise his son to be as outstanding as Liang Xiaowen.

"Alas, comparing yourself to others will only make you angry."

Hearing his son sigh, Zhao Dafa laughed, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Yun picked up a pork chop and ate it without any appetite. "I envy Ziheng. He has a gentle, beautiful and kind stepmother who is willing to sell everything she has to buy him a big house."

"Aunt Hui, you've been married for so long, and my dad has bought a lot of things for you and Xiaowen. When can you buy something for me, your stepson, so that I can also enjoy the feeling of being loved by my mother?"

I could only smile awkwardly and said, "It's spring now. Next time I'm on vacation, I'll take you to buy two sets of spring clothes."

Zhao Yun: "I have no shortage of clothes to wear."

"Then buy you a new pair of sneakers?"

"No, I have plenty of shoes. Aunt Hui, please buy me a camera. The year Aunt Mingzhu first married Uncle Pei, she used all her private money to buy Ziheng a Walkman."

"You married my dad, and he gave you a large sum of money as a dowry, and he also gave you household expenses every month. You must have saved more money than Aunt Mingzhu, so you can definitely buy a camera."

"I don't want anything too expensive, I just want a Haiou DF, which is only over 500. My dad has promised to buy a house for Xiaowen, I want a camera, you won't be reluctant to part with it, right?"

Of course Zhou Hui was reluctant.

The money she saved was intended to be used as a dowry for her daughter in the future.

But as Zhao Yun said, a camera is nothing compared to a house.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your child.

Zhou Hui smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll take you to buy it in a few days when I'm on vacation."

"Thank you, Aunt Hui."

Zhao Dafa squinted at his son in annoyance and said to Zhou Hui, "Don't spoil him. He does whatever he wants."

Zhou Hui smiled: "This is the first time Xiaoyun asked me for something, so I should buy it. It just so happens that his birthday is not two months away, so let's consider it as my birthday present for Xiaoyun."

Liang Xiaowen said happily: "After my brother's birthday, it will be my turn to celebrate my birthday!"

Zhao Dafa asked her with a smile what birthday gift she wanted. Liang Xiaowen tilted her head and thought for a long time, and said she wanted a bicycle.

Zhao Dafa agreed.

Liang Xiaowen was very happy, and Zhou Hui's complexion also looked much better.

But Zhao Yun just rolled his eyes.

…

Shen Mingzhu prepared some hot water and went into the bedroom to ask the children to wash up.

On the big bed in the bedroom, Pei Ziheng was playing with Xiao Guoguo with a stuffed toy. Daya was lying on her side beside him with her little face resting on her elbow, having fallen asleep.

Seeing this, Shen Mingzhu went out to open the door of the guest room next door, then went back to the bedroom and carried Daya into the guest room to sleep.

After settling Daya, Shen Mingzhu returned to the bedroom.

"son."

Pei Ziheng turned around and raised his index finger to make a hushing gesture towards her.

Shen Mingzhu smiled knowingly and tiptoed to the bed. Her daughter, who had been giggling while playing just now, was now lying in her son's arms with her eyes half open and half closed, brewing sleep. Her little face was rosy and her thick eyelashes trembled up and down, she was indescribably adorable.

"Leave your sister to me. Go wash up and go to bed early."

"Um."

Pei Ziheng obediently put Xiao Guoguo in her arms, got out of bed, put on his shoes and went out.

Shen Mingzhu walked around the room holding her daughter and humming a lullaby.

After coaxing her daughter to sleep and walking out of the room, she found her son sitting alone on the sofa, his back quiet, as if he was waiting for her.

Shen Mingzhu walked over.
