A widower's entertainment

Chapter 276 [Children's Vision] (Subscription Request)
Beijing, Xinghua Hutong.

Since Lin Youcheng had asked Xie Shuhua to tutor Lin Zhaoxi in English, he would naturally pay him. However, Xie Shuhua refused to accept the money. But Lin Youcheng insisted that if he didn't accept the money, he would have to find someone else. Only then did Xie Shuhua reluctantly accept the money.

However, Xie Shuhua also had another solution. He specially bought some gifts for Lin Youcheng's children using the money given by Lin Youcheng.

This naturally surprised Lin Zhaoxi and his brothers and sisters as they did not expect that the English tutor would bring them gifts.

Of course, none of these are important. What is important is the fact that Xie Shuhua tutored Lin Zhaoxi in English.

Lin Zhaoxi felt an indescribable familiarity with Xie Shuhua, the English tutor her father Lin Youcheng found for her. Even though they had never met each other, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Zhaoqing saw Lin Zhaoxi looking at the English teacher Xie Shuhua who was about to leave, so he came over and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Zhaoxi turned to look at Lin Zhaoqing, and seeing the scarf hanging casually around Lin Zhaoqing's neck, he helped tie the scarf and said, "Teacher Xie speaks English very well."

"Didn't Dad say she graduated from Yanjing University, which must be amazing. But she calls Dad teacher, and you call her teacher, haha, these titles are both teachers."

Lin Zhaoxi knew that Lin Zhaoqing did not notice that teacher Xie Shuhua always had a smile in his eyes when he looked at their father.

That look made her feel familiar and strange. She felt that it was very similar to that of her former teacher Li Aihong at Decheng Chunfeng Primary School.

Lin Zhaomei on the side blinked her eyes. She seemed to have her own ideas. She smiled and said, "I guess she likes dad very much. Maybe she wants to be our stepmother."

"what?"

Lin Zhaoqing opened his mouth wide, looking very surprised, as if he was very surprised by what Lin Zhaomei said.

Lin Zhaomei tightened her cotton jacket and watched her father send teacher Xie Shuhua away. She frowned slightly and said, "When Dad went to the crew, someone in the crew wanted to be a matchmaker for Dad."

Lin Zhaomei heard this herself. When she was filming the movie "My Brothers and Sisters", her father Lin Youcheng also accompanied her to the filming site. She heard these words at that time.

However, she also knew that her father had refused with a smile at that time.

Lin Zhaoqing did not notice this thought. It should be said that except Lin Zhaomei and Lin Zhaoxi, none of the other children in the yard paid attention to this matter.

Or perhaps it could be said that Lin Zhaohuan and Lin Zhaole were too young and had never thought about their father remarrying. As for the brothers Lin Zhaoqing and Lin Zhaoman, they did not pay any attention to it.

Lin Zhaoxi glanced at Lin Zhaomei, walked to Lin Zhaomei, put his arm around Lin Zhaomei's shoulders, and said, "Dad is not without."

"What does matchmaking mean?"

Lin Zhaole, wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, did not understand what his third sister said. He raised his head, looked at his brothers and sisters innocently, and asked, "Why are you being a matchmaker?"

"Matchmaking is about finding a stepmother for us!"

Lin Zhaoqing frowned, seeming very reluctant that his father Lin Youcheng would find a stepmother for them.

"stepmother?"

Lin Zhaole, who was already in preschool, did not notice that his brother Lin Zhaoqing was unhappy about his stepmother, and asked innocently, "Is stepmother the mother behind me?"

"I want a mother."

I want to have a mother!
Lin Zhaoxi and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard this. They didn't expect Lin Zhaole to say such a thing. Lin Zhaoqing was naturally very unhappy. "What are you talking about!"

Lin Zhaoqing frowned, looking unhappy, and said to Lin Zhaole: "We don't want a stepmother."

Lin Zhaole saw that Lin Zhaoqing was frowning, looking a little angry and nervous at him, so he nodded.

Lin Zhaoxi looked at the little carrot-headed Lin Zhaole and felt very sad for some reason. She knew very well that she had lost her mother a long time ago, but her youngest brother Lin Zhaole lost his mother when he was just born.

For a moment, Lin Zhaoxi felt a little sad and upset. She had disliked her younger brother for a long time because it was him who made it impossible for her mother to come back.

Lin Zhaoxi squatted down, looked at Lin Zhaole, and then glanced at Lin Zhaohuan beside Lin Zhaole. The two of them had not seen their deceased mother since they were very young, and they might not even remember what their mother looked like.

Especially Lin Zhaole, he had only seen that small black and white photo.

Lin Zhaoxi held Lin Zhaole's little hand and said, "You have us. Our brothers and sisters are all by your side."

Lin Zhaole didn't understand and nodded.

He knew that his mother had passed away when he was born, and that she passed away because of giving birth to him.

Although he had only vaguely heard about this matter, he knew it. He didn't know what was wrong with what he had just said about wanting his mother, but he didn't dare to say it again.

After Lin Youcheng sent Xie Shuhua out of the yard, he turned around and saw several children talking at the door of the main house. He didn't know what they were talking about, but they seemed to be in a low mood.

"what happened?"

"What are you talking about?"

When Lin Zhaoqing saw Lin Youcheng coming over to ask, he quickly shook his head and said, "Nothing, nothing."

Lin Youcheng naturally noticed that something seemed to be wrong, but the children seemed unwilling to say anything.

Lin Youcheng fixed his eyes on Lin Zhaoman and asked, "Zhaoman, do you know what happened?"

Lin Zhaoman held Lin Zhaohuan's hand and had been silent. When he heard Lin Youcheng asking him but not his sister, he was surprised for a moment. He glanced at Lin Zhaoqing, then at Lin Zhaoxi and Lin Zhaomei, and said, "We are talking about Teacher Xie who tutors my sister in English. We call her teacher, and she calls you, Dad, teacher."

Lin Youcheng felt that this might not be the case, but since Lin Zhaoman, such an honest child, said so, Lin Youcheng did not ask any more questions. After all, he knew that children would have their own ideas when they grow up.

Lin Youcheng smiled and said, "There must be a teacher among three people. Teacher Xie is good at English, so let's learn from her. This is what it means to be a teacher to someone who is good at something."

"we know!"

Lin Zhaoqing quickly replied, and pulled Lin Youcheng back to the house, saying, "It's so cold outside, let's all go in."

Lin Youcheng followed Lin Zhaoqing into the house.

Lin Zhaoxi held Lin Zhaole's little hand and prepared to go into the house, but she thought of what Lin Zhaole had just said, and turned to look in the direction where Xie Shuhua had just left, feeling very complicated.

The snowflakes fell silently again.
