Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Finally, Zhou Yanqian pushed his face away in disgust: "Alright, stop spitting on me."

Zhengzheng asked in confusion, "I didn't? I was blowing a pinwheel for you."

He looked down and touched his windmill with his chubby fingers: "Then blow it for me!"

Zhou Yanqian didn't want to blow the windmill for him either; that would be so stupid!

Fortunately, Jinxi interrupted at this moment: "Let's stop bragging for now, let's go eat barbecue. Does Zhengzheng like barbecue?"

Zhengzheng nodded: "Auntie Xiaoxi, I like to eat everything, I'm not picky at all!"

Jinxi praised, "Then you and Zanzan are both good babies. You can only grow tall if you don't pick and choose your food."

Zhengzheng smiled sweetly.

Zhou Yanqian raised an eyebrow: "Alright, I'll bring you some herbal tea next week."

Zhengzheng quickly wiped the smile off his face and said dejectedly, "Zanzan, not drinking herbal tea doesn't mean you're picky. Herbal tea isn't a dish, so you shouldn't drink it either."

Seeing him like this, Zhou Yanqian finally felt relieved!

Jinxi took them to a barbecue restaurant, and after they ordered the meat, the restaurant brought over two children's meals.

Zhengzheng exclaimed, "Wow! This fried rice smells amazing!"

Zhou Yanqian remained silent, but simply placed the dish of pickled radishes between the two of them: "Let's eat them together."

Zhengzheng trusted Zanzan completely. He held the spoon and, following Zanzan's instructions, first scooped up some beef fried rice, then placed a pickled radish on top, and then ate it in one bite.

He chewed and chewed, his beautiful eyes widening in surprise.

Zhengzheng gave Zanzan a thumbs-up, her cheeks puffed out, and said indistinctly, "This is so delicious, Zanzan! You have to eat it! I've never had such delicious fried rice before!"

Zhou Yanqian proudly puffed out his little chest: "It's all thanks to what I've eaten! My mouth doesn't lie!"

Jinxi sat opposite the two of them, looking at her eldest son's smug expression, and shook her head helplessly. Why did he become so arrogant?

Zhou Yanqian also ate a few bites of fried rice, then said to Zhengzheng, "Don't finish it all. It'll taste even better if you eat it with the grilled meat later."

Upon hearing this, Zhengzheng immediately put down her spoon and replied, still mumbling, "Mmm-hmm!"

After swallowing the fried rice, he turned to ask, "Zan Zan, do you know how to grill meat?"

"Of course." Zhou Yanqian glanced at him sideways. "It's a very simple matter."

"I don't know how," Zhengzheng said. "Can you teach me later, okay?"

"Okay." Zhou Yanqian readily agreed, as it was just a matter of teaching him how to grill meat, which wasn't difficult at all.

As it turns out, Zhengzheng is indeed a very smart student. The two of them each held a pair of tongs and flipped the food over and over on the baking tray, eventually making it look like an assembly line.

But the cooking time for each piece of meat was perfect, making Jinxi the biggest winner of the meal.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Jinxi sat with them for a while before settling the bill.

Zhengzheng raised his hand, which was wearing a Little Genius hat, and said, "Auntie Xiaoxi, I'll pay."

Jinxi said, "Thank you, Zhengzheng, but you already paid, so it's Auntie's turn to pay this time."

Zhou Yanqian leaned back on the sofa and glanced at him: "Just shut up."

My belly has become round and plump, and it still hasn't stopped getting bigger.

Where does he get so much energy?

Zhou Yanqian couldn't help but look at him, but thinking about it carefully, Gu Mingzheng always seemed to be very energetic, just like in his previous life. Every time he saw him, he always looked like a sunny and cheerful young man.

The energy and blood flow were so abundant that it felt like I could run three laps around Chengdu.

Zhengzheng leaned closer and said, "I'm very quiet, Zanzan. We kids need to be active and burn off energy. By the way, do you play ball? You can come to my house to play ball on weekends. I can play soccer and basketball. What ball do you play?"

It's confirmed, he's practically an athlete.

Zhou Yanqian said, "It would be a pity if you didn't go and win glory for the country."

He then replied listlessly, "Badminton."

Zhengzheng let out a long "Oh!" and said, "Badminton is good too, I can play! I'll ask my dad to buy me two new rackets when I get home tonight, and you can come to my house and we can play together."

Zhou Yanqian waved his hand: "...Let's discuss it again."

All he wanted to do right now was lie down like a salted fish. If Zhengzheng hadn't been there, he wouldn't even want to walk.

After resting for a while, Jinxi noticed that it was almost time, so she picked up the goose again: "Let's go, babies."

Zhou Yanqian hummed in agreement. He reached out to take Jinxi's hand, but unexpectedly Zhengzheng intervened and grabbed his hand.

He said, "Zan Zan, let's go pee together."

Zhou Yanqian: ...

Zhou Yanqian: ? ? ?

Do you need someone to accompany you when you pee?

Zhou Yanqian tried to pull his little hand back, but Zhengzheng held it tightly: "Zanzan, let's go pee! We're going to the children's playground later, and the toilets are hard to find! Last time I needed to pee, my dad took me looking for a long time."

Jinxi couldn't help but laugh: "Zhengzheng is quite experienced. Baby, you go ahead, I'll wait for you two here."

Zhou Yanqian wanted to say no, but in the end, Zhengzheng pulled him toward the toilet.

There's really no other way.

He even saw Jin Xi almost burst out laughing.

Jinxi mouthed: Go ahead and do your best!

He didn't want to go at all!

He looked at the two of them holding hands and really couldn't understand why Zhengzheng loved holding hands so much!

I don't understand, but he asked the same question: "Do we have to hold hands?"

Zhengzheng nodded seriously: "Yes, Zanzan, you're the younger brother, and I'm the older brother. Of course I have to hold your hand and protect you!"

Children's hands are always soft and cuddly.

When Zhou Yanqian heard him say that, he was momentarily stunned.

For some reason, he recalled that in his previous life, he and Gu Mingzheng had indeed been "friends" for a period of time.

However, he disapproved of Gu Mingzheng's way of doing things, and then there was Shen Yunran...

It was only a matter of time before they parted ways.

But having been given a second chance at life, he has a much more open-minded perspective on some things.

Maybe I really can be friends with Gu Mingzheng for a longer time...

After returning from the restroom, Jinxi led them downstairs.

Zhou Yanqian took Jinxi's hand.

Jinxi teased him, "Little one, did you wash your hands?"

Zhou Yanqian was speechless. Did he look like the kind of child who didn't like to be clean?

Zhengzheng quickly answered, "Auntie Xiaoxi, we washed our hands. We're all clean kids, so don't worry!"

Jinxi said, "Hmm! You two are truly good friends, both equally sensible, well-behaved, and obedient..."

As Zhou Yanqian listened, he silently withdrew his hand and pulled Zhengzheng forward.

If it doesn't involve anyone, it'll seem like nobody cares!

Jinxi followed behind, laughing, "Don't be angry, I won't tease you anymore, I won't tease you anymore, Mommy will hold your hand."

Zhou Yanqian put his hands in his pockets. Hehe, even a dog wouldn't want such belated affection!

However, he stopped again when he passed by the milk tea shop.

He looked up and asked, "Mommy, isn't this the bubble tea shop we used to go to with Grandpa and Grandma?"

That's that rip-off shop! Four cups of milk tea cost him several hundred yuan.

My heart aches so much I can hardly breathe!

Jinxi naturally remembered as well. She took a breath and said, "Yeah, I think so."

Zhou Yanqian looked at her in confusion. What do you mean by "should be"?

This is!

Jinxi asked, "Do you want to drink this?"

Zhou Yanqian nodded: "He wants grapes, I want oranges."

It's a bit pricey, but it's still very delicious.

Gu Mingzheng followed him out, and he felt bad for letting him drink a cheap milk tea, so he suggested this shop.

Zhengzheng blinked at the milk tea shop, and then Zhou Yanqian pulled her to an empty seat.

Zhengzheng asked, "Is this delicious? Thumbs up!"

"It's delicious," Zhou Yanqian said. "It costs 100 yuan a cup."

Zhengzheng was astonished, 100 yuan a cup?!

His gaze instinctively drifted to the menu. Hmm? It seems the most expensive item is only twenty-eight.

However, just as he was pursing his lips, he hesitated whether to tell Zan Zan, Jin Xi returned after ordering her milk tea and sat down next to them.

Zhou Yanqian instinctively clung to her and asked, "Have you ordered?"

"I've ordered, don't worry." Jinxi lowered her voice seriously and said, "But it's still a bit expensive. Next time we come out alone, we won't buy anything."

Zhou Yanqian glanced quickly at Zhengzheng, then nodded finally: "Okay."

Jinxi is relieved. Little Zhou Zanzan is still so easy to fool.

Her conscience was starting to waver.

However, the thought of Zan Zan constantly nagging to drink from this place made Jin Xi's conscience suddenly turn black again.
