In the living room
The two children had gotten up sometime earlier and were quietly watching TV.
Li Cheng'an was the first to notice his father, his little face tense. "Dad."
Then Yuanyuan turned her head, raised her eyebrows, and opened her mouth to shout "Daddy!" But when she saw her father make a shushing gesture, she immediately covered her mouth.
Only his round eyes remained visible. When his father came over, he tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Dad, is Mom still sleeping?"
Mom must be tired!
"Hmm." Li Hanting said in a deep voice, glancing at his son. "Mom is still sleeping. Don't disturb her. Either go downstairs to play, or stay home and watch TV."
"good."
Li Cheng'an knew that these words were his father's instructions to him.
He's not stupid; Dad must have bullied Mom again!
Li Hanting patted his daughter's head. "Daddy's going to work now. Be a good girl and listen to your brother."
"Uh-huh."
She will definitely be good.
Li Hanting then got up and walked out with a sense of relief. As soon as he opened the door, he heard his son calling him from behind.
He frowned, looking down at his son who barely reached his waist. "Is there anything else?"
Mustering his courage, Li Cheng'an asked indignantly, "Dad, did you bully Mom?"
She stared calmly into her father's eyes.
"You brat, are you criticizing your dad?"
Li Hanting raised an eyebrow. He was probably the first person to be reprimanded by his own son, but this also showed that his wife was gradually entering An'an's heart.
This kid is hard to win over.
She earnestly tried to convince her son, "That's not bullying, your mom probably likes it."
"Son, you're still young. You'll understand later."
He straightened his cuffs and said, "By the way, you need to learn to read people's expressions from now on, and don't interfere with me and your mother's relationship."
"Dad went to work first."
Li Cheng'an stood at the door, lost in thought for a long time.
I really don't understand adults' minds. They're clearly bullying me, so how could Mom possibly like it?
But I don't think I've ever heard my mother say she hates it.
"Brother, what are you doing standing at the door? Yuanyuan wants to drink water, but she can't reach it."
His sister's voice brought him back to his senses. He closed the door and went to pour her some water.
Although he was born at the same time as his younger sister, she was shorter than him, which must mean he absorbed her nutrients.
After watching TV for a while, there was still no movement at Mom's bedroom door.
Li Yuanyuan was a little restless, pouting, "Brother, will Mom be alright?"
"No, Mom is probably just tired."
Li Cheng'an pulled his restless sister back, "Think about it, Mom does our laundry and cooks for us every day, and occasionally cleans the house and tends the vegetable garden. It's so hard for her. Let her sleep a little longer."
Helpless, he had no choice but to pull his younger sister downstairs, saying, "Let's go play downstairs, brother."
Li Yuanyuan said crisply, "Okay."
Let Mom get a good night's sleep.
Li Cheng'an felt guilty; his father had fooled him, and now he was fooling his sister in return.
After the two children went downstairs, Su Jingjing slowly woke up in bed.
For a moment, I couldn't tell day from night.
She closed her eyes, and the scenes that had happened at noon played in her mind like a movie.
Ugh... How embarrassing.
She immediately covered her face in embarrassment, and the movement was a little too forceful, accidentally pulling on a certain spot, causing her to lower her eyelids in pain.
He cursed Ah Ting in his heart a few times before venting his anger.
Ignoring the soreness in her body, she quickly got out of bed and put on her clothes.
I don't know what time it is now, are An'an and Yuanyuan at home?
"hiss…"
It really hurts so much.
I don't even need to look to know that this time, there's not a single patch of good skin on my body.
He wrapped himself up tightly before opening the door and going out.
Looking around the living room, I didn't see the children.
"Are any of you home, kids?"
Pushing open the door to the next bedroom, there was no sound from inside. The blankets on the bed were folded into neat squares, An'an's handiwork.
Ah Ting has always been strict with An An, demanding that he be meticulous in every little detail of daily life.
Conversely, Yuanyuan would be free; she only needs to be happy every day.
Su Jingjing gently closed the door, frowned. If she wasn't home, could she be playing downstairs?
Although she knew this was a military area and the children would be safe, she still wanted to be sure.
Thinking of this, she quickly walked to the window in the living room and looked down.
Two little figures came into her view. Yuanyuan was playing hopscotch, while An'an watched Yuanyuan play. Liang Dapang stood next to him, seemingly saying something.
Su Jingjing finally felt relieved.
I glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already four o'clock. I quickly tidied up and started making dinner.
downstairs
After one round, Li Yuanyuan ran to her brother's side and called him in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother."
Seeing his younger sister covered in sweat from playing, Li Cheng'an wiped the sweat from her forehead with his hand and asked, "Are you tired?"
Li Yuanyuan nodded, "Tired, but very happy."
Li Cheng'an could certainly sense his sister's happiness, and whispered in her ear, "Why don't we go home first and see if Mom is up yet?"
"good."
The brother and sister went upstairs hand in hand, completely ignoring Liang Dapang's calls from behind.
The gossipy women downstairs started chattering again.
While mending the pants, Zhou Qian kept nagging, "Don't you guys think that Yuanyuan is getting more and more beautiful?"
Summer vacation is here, and Xiao Yang has been jumping around all day lately. He's already torn two of his pants. If his dad hadn't given him a beating, the last pair of pants he was wearing would have been ruined too. He only has three pairs of pants, and if they're all torn, he'll have to go out naked.
Someone echoed, "I feel the same way, and the brother and sister have a very good relationship."
No child in the compound dared to bully Yuanyuan, after all, she had a strong older brother like An'an protecting her.
"The whole family is good-looking."
That's true; there are no ugly people in the Li family.
Wu Xiuying pursed her lips. She couldn't stand others praising Su Jingjing; perhaps they were enemies in their past lives.
"Mom, I want some water."
Just then, Big Fatty ran over, yelling that he wanted to drink water.
My son is a bit chubby, so he drinks water quite frequently.
Wu Xiuying picked up the water glass beside her and handed it to her son.
Liang Dapang unscrewed the cap, tilted his head back, and poured the water into his mouth, but only a few drops came out.
I shook it, and it was completely empty.
"Mom, there's no water left."
"Then Mom will go back and get you some water."
She must have just finished drinking.
Wu Xiuying doted on her only son to the core.
"Then hurry up."
Liang Dapang urged them on and then joined the game team again.
He wasn't very confident even without An'an present.
The others present shook their heads, feeling that Wu Xiuying seemed to be spoiling her too much.
However, they were the same way; they doted on their sons to the core, but treated their daughters like weeds, ignoring them completely.
In this day and age, which family doesn't revolve around its son?
