The two of them hurried home quickly.
Mr. Li and Mr. Fu waited until they left before speaking.
"Oh, if the current situation wasn't so bad, these two would definitely not be simple characters. They are obviously different from the people here."
"Mr. Li, your vision is still as sharp as ever, but these two are very strange. I heard from people here that they weren't like this before. It seems like they suddenly changed and became like this. Then they separated and lived separately, and their lives are actually very prosperous."
Lao Fu told some information he knew.
"For someone to make such a big change, either he's been suppressing his original personality, or he's finally come to terms with it and wants to live a different way. Either way, it must have been because he's been hurt."
Mr. Li made his guess based on his own experience.
"In that case, I think the latter is more likely. Their family has not been good to them. If he doesn't resist, his children will continue on the path he has taken."
"Let's not talk about them. Whether they're good or bad doesn't really matter to us. We can barely protect ourselves right now. Why bother with others so much?"
Zhang Anan and Lu Ming had no idea that someone was still discussing them.
The two were so scared when they got home.
"Hurry up, the house is smoking,"
Zhang Anan instantly quickened his pace and disappeared in a flash.
Zhang Anan saw two little ones squatting at the kitchen door, their faces covered in dust. Thick smoke was coming out of the kitchen, and there were two voices talking.
Seeing that they were fine, Zhang Anan went outside the yard to listen for a while and wait for Lu Ming.
"You're such an idiot. Don't stuff so much in it. It won't burn." Lu Chenyao's exasperated voice came.
"Sister, why do you always scold me? But Mom and Dad always do this, I'm not wrong."
Lu Chenlin retorted unconvincedly.
Outside the door, Lu Chenhao touched Lu Chenxuan and said, "Sister, can we still have dinner? Why haven't parents come back yet?"
"You have to call me sister. I am your sister. I don't know. Daddy and mommy should be coming soon."
Zhang Anan was almost laughing to death at their words. How could they be so cute?
Lu Ming ran over breathlessly and saw Zhang Anan covering her mouth and laughing.
"Hoohoo, what are you doing? Why don't you go in?"
Lu Ming asked while panting.
"They were cooking. Since there wasn't anything serious going on, I wanted to see what they could do."
"Stop laughing at them and go in!"
Lu Ming was speechless. He was worried anxiously just a second ago, but when he got to the door, he found that nothing serious had happened and it seemed to be a lively scene.
When Lu Chenhao and Lu Chenxuan saw their parents coming back, they ran over one after another.
"Mom and Dad, you're back. We're hungry. My brothers and sisters are cooking."
"Mom and Dad, why did you take so long? Take me with you next time."
Zhang Anan reached out and tapped their foreheads. "Brother and sister are cooking, why don't you go and help? Are you being lazy?"
Seeing that they were being wronged, Lu Chenhao refused to do it. "Mom, they clearly didn't want our help and said we couldn't do it, but they can't do it either! It's been a long time and it's still not healed."
"Okay, our Haohao and Xuanxuan are great. Now let me take you to wash your cat faces! If you hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have recognized you."
Lu Chenxuan covered her cheeks and asked in disbelief, "Mom, are our faces really that dirty?"
Zhang Anan didn't know what to say to her. Covering her dirty hands made them even dirtier.
"Look at your hands."
"Hahaha, sister, now everything except your eyes is black."
"Mom, I want to wash my face and take a bath."
Lu Chenxuan, who was a little bit particular about cleanliness, couldn't stand it and screamed.
When Lu Ming was about to rescue the two people in the kitchen, they also heard the noise and ran out with cat-like faces.
"Dad, Mom, you're back. We want to cook, but we can't light the fire."
"Mom and Dad, you're finally back. We're hungry. Come and cook!"
Lu Ming originally wanted to praise them, but seeing their faces completely black except for their eyes, he couldn't help but laugh. He really didn't know how they did it.
"Well, I'll do it. You guys go wash up. You can't tell who's who when you see it's so dirty."
"Haha, sister, why are you so dark!" Lu Chenlin pointed at Lu Chenyao and said belatedly.
Lu Chenyao glared at him and said, "You're darker than me, huh."
After saying that, he ran towards Zhang Anan who was washing their younger brother and sister's face.
"Mom, I want to wash too."
"Okay, wait a minute, line up one by one."
Lu Ming opened the kitchen door and the only window to ventilate the room, and waited until the smoke had subsided a lot before going in.
Everything else was fine, but the stove was a mess. Fortunately, he and Zhang Anan had enough space, so they often took food directly from it to eat. They didn't use the stove much, and didn't use much firewood.
Otherwise, with the way they were acting today, the house would definitely have been burned down.
It seems that he needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise he won’t know when the house will burn down.
Then we made a simple meal based on the mess they left behind.
After the meal, Zhang Anan couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to go make dinner? It's not too late for your father and I to come back today."
After the two of them exchanged glances, Lu Chenyao stepped forward and said, "Mom, we want to help you. After we're done, you can come back and eat. You don't have to work so hard to cook again, but we can't even light a fire."
Lu Chenyao felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and she was about to cry in the end.
When Zhang Anan saw it, she immediately held it in her arms.
"You're great. You've grown up and know how to help mom and dad with work. Mom is very happy. But you're still young now. Mom and dad don't need your help with cooking yet. When you're older, I'll let you do it if you don't want to. Now, helping to look after your younger siblings is helping mom and dad, okay?"
Zhang Anan looked at the two of them and saw them nod.
"Come on, both of you line up and stand still."
Lu Chenhao wanted to go too, but Lu Ming quickly pulled him back. He knew Zhang Anan was educating the two older children, so he went out with one child in each hand and taught them outside.
Lu Chenyao and Lu Chenlin stood there hand in hand, looking at their mother confusedly, not knowing what to do.
"You're confused, right? Let me tell you. I just praised you for what you did well. Now let me talk about what you didn't do well."
"Mom, did we do anything wrong?" Lu Chenlin asked.
"Remember, everything has two sides or even multiple sides. Nothing is absolute. If you do something well, there will definitely be something you do not do well." Seeing that they didn't quite understand, Zhang Anan decided to keep it simple.
"I won't talk about complicated things. Let's just talk about your cooking. Have you ever considered what will happen if you light the fire and we don't come back yet?"
