I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

However, her yelling was only the beginning. Later, when I provoked her again, she stopped yelling and started biting instead.

I wonder when this silly son will be cured of his loud voice.

It really makes one worry about his future.

“You wet the bed in the dead of winter and can’t even say anything? If you do, you’ll raise your voice louder than anyone else’s. And you think you’re right? Get up right now.” Chen Shuo bent down, picked up his son, and put him on the ground. Then he pulled down the sheets, preparing to wash and dry them.

“Look at your older sister, Da Bao. You’re the same age, but she doesn’t wet the bed. You’re the only one in the family who draws maps all day long. You should become a painter when you grow up.”

“…”

Chen Qi'an lowered his head and remained silent, tears welling up in his eyes. He felt extremely wronged; why didn't Da Bao wet the bed?

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he exclaimed, "It must be because Da Bao doesn't have this that he doesn't wet the bed! I don't want this anymore!"

"What do you not want?"

Chen Shuo turned his head and saw him pinching his little chin hard, crying loudly in pain, and pulling it very long.

This startled the father, who quickly stepped in to stop him, saying, "Don't be impulsive. Is this something we can do without? You'll regret it later if we don't have it."

"But it made me wet the bed."

"Alright, alright, Dad isn't blaming you. Hurry up and change your clothes, go wash your face, brush your teeth, and get ready for dinner."

"Oh..."

Xiao Bao wiped away his tears, went over there to put on his clothes, and slipped on his slippers before going out.

Watching his retreating figure, Chen Shuo helplessly patted his forehead. This unlucky kid, although he's not very smart, is definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing, even more ruthless than a ruthless person.

If we're going to put on a martial arts film, then a character like Dongfang Bubai would be perfect.

Chen Shuo decided to retract his earlier assessment; his foolish son had a promising future.

Judging from that fierce determination he showed just now, he's someone who can accomplish great things.

Chapter 320 Hmph Hmph Hmph

The winter is chilly, Christmas has just passed, and it feels like we haven't even been in school for a few days before the two little rascals are already on winter break, which also means the end of the year is just around the corner.

As in previous years, Chen Shuo spread out red paper, dipped his brush in ink, and quickly made a couplet.

He stood on a small stool and pasted the horizontal scroll up. Then he got off the stool, took two steps back, and looked at it.

A house full of blessings, with both a son and a daughter.

A loving couple, their home filled with the joy of spring.

The horizontal scroll reads: A family of four.

The siblings stood to the side; at such a young and still somewhat immature age, they couldn't read, but that didn't stop them from craning their necks to look intently.

It was cold, and Chen Qi'an had kicked off the covers last night because he thought the floor heating was too hot, which caused him to catch a cold. He sniffled and asked, "Dad, what are those red papers you put up for?"

"This isn't red paper, it's Spring Festival couplets, things we put up for the New Year."

"Why do we put up Spring Festival couplets during the Chinese New Year?" At such a young age, there are always so many questions about the world.

Chen Qi'an's question sounded familiar to Chen Shuo, the father. After thinking for a moment, he realized that Xiao A Miao had asked the same question back then.

Back then, she was quite naive and had many questions about the human world. Of course, she's not very smart now either.

What was my answer back then?

"Because we have to put it on, we have to put it on."

"..."

This answer stunned Chen Qi'an, and coupled with his constant sniffling, he looked quite dumbfounded.

Chen Qinghan giggled.

"Da Bao, what are you laughing at?" Chen Shuo asked.

"I wasn't laughing."

"..."

Chen Shuo led the two kids into the house, took out some tissues to wipe Xiao Bao's snot, and then picked up a water glass from the kitchen counter. "Come on, drink your medicine. We'll go to Grandpa and Grandma's house in a bit."

"Ok!"

Chen Qi'an nodded vigorously, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. He didn't resist the cup of children's cold medicine at all, because the medicine for the little kid was sweet.

After Bai Xiaoqi changed her clothes and came out of the bedroom, the family of four went out together. The neighborhood was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with big red lanterns everywhere and small colorful flags hanging up with ropes and words of "Happy Chinese New Year" pasted on them. It's almost 2030, and now the atmosphere of the New Year is only supported by these things.

Without these colorful flags and lanterns, the New Year celebration would be no different from any other day.

But for children, the meaning of the New Year is different. Although there are no fireworks or firecrackers, there is plenty of food and fun, no need to go to kindergarten, new clothes, and so much candy and snacks at home that they can't finish them all.

Later, we went to Grandpa and Grandma's house and there was a lot of delicious food there.

The two little kids were wearing matching new clothes and cute cotton hats on their heads, and they were hopping and skipping around while being led by the hand.

The joy on her face was overflowing.

Driving from one neighborhood to another, the neighborhood where the elderly couple lived had become somewhat old over the decades, just like the people who lived there, who had also gradually aged with the passing years, and elderly people could be seen everywhere.

Chen Jianwen has reached the age of fifty-one, while Wu Yulan is forty-nine.

However, neither of them showed any signs of aging; they both looked more than ten years younger than their actual age. But time waits for no one; the old man had a few more gray hairs, and Wu Yulan had a few more wrinkles around her eyes.

Chen Shuo sensed that she was happy. Ever since she had her grandchildren, Wu Yulan was always smiling. People who smile too much are prone to developing wrinkles around their eyes.

She squatted on the ground, holding one of the two little babies in each arm, kissing one and then the other, her smile never stopping.

After kissing them enough, he let the two children go and went to the kitchen with his daughter-in-law to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Da Bao and Xiao Bao, come with Grandpa. Grandpa will take you to see something good." Chen Jianwen beckoned the two little ones over with a mysterious look, then took one in each hand and led them to the balcony to see the so-called good thing.

Chen Shuo also curiously went over to take a look. There was a rather large toy car parked on the balcony, the kind that can seat children, and it was even a two-seater that could seat two people.

It can be controlled with a remote control or by holding the steering wheel and pedaling.

"Wow!"

Chen Qi'an jumped and hopped around, clapping his hands and exclaiming "Wow!" in an exaggerated way, as if he were about to ascend to heaven on the spot.

Chen Qinghan was much more composed than him. At this moment, she had already stepped forward and grabbed the car door with her hands, her short legs sticking up high, ready to get in for a test drive.

Seeing this, Chen Qi'an quickly stepped forward and hugged her legs, saying, "No, I want to play first."

"I'm the older sister, I'll go first."

"Why are you the older sister? Mom said we were born on the same day. You just came out a little earlier than me. We have the same birthday, so we're actually the same age."

"Mom also has the same birthday as us. Is Mom the same age as you?"

"..."

Chen Qi'an choked, stammering for a long time before finally pulling out his winning formula and shouting back at the top of his lungs, "Anyway, I'm going to play first!"

The two little brats started arguing again over who got to use the toy car first. Chen Qinghan puffed out her cheeks and glared at him, displaying her authority as an older sister. Chen Qi'an wasn't afraid of her at all and glared back at her with wide eyes.

Seeing that the two children had stirred up the atmosphere to this point, the father and son who had been watching the commotion finally came out to stop them. Chen Jianwen said, "Alright, both of you be good and don't make a fuss. There are two seats, aren't there? You two siblings can each take one seat."

The reason he only bought one car, and then bought a two-seater car, was that he wanted his brother and sister to behave well, one to drive and the other to ride in.

How lovely it is to have two children sitting together in the car.

But these two brats started fighting over it.

"Then I'll drive, and let Da Bao sit."

"No, I'll drive."

"Why don't we just have each person drive for a while, and then take turns?" Chen Shuo said, not understanding what was so arguing about.

"Then I'll go first."

"Why should I go first?"

Damn it, these two unlucky kids. Chen Shuo's head was throbbing. He said with a stern face, "If they keep making noise, they won't be allowed to drive. Then I'll give this car to someone else's kid."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the siblings immediately fell silent. After a while, Chen Qi'an asked timidly, "Who is Dad going to give the car to?"

"We'll give the child to whoever is obedient. Qingqiu is obedient, so we'll give the child to Qingqiu."

There are two kinds of kids: your own kids and other people's kids. The siblings looked at each other and suddenly realized that they had a template for the image of other people's kids in their minds—Nie Qingqiu.

"That child is three years old now, right?"

"Yes, it was my birthday last month. I'll be going to kindergarten in the spring, in the same class as these two kids."

Originally, Nie Chu's little girl was supposed to start kindergarten this year, but there are regulations for kindergarten enrollment that require children to be at least three years old.

It can only be postponed until next spring.

After chatting casually with the old man for a few minutes, Chen Shuo turned his gaze to the two little kids on the ground. "Are you two still arguing? Didn't Daddy tell you to learn to be considerate? You two discuss it and see who goes first. No arguing allowed."

The siblings looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, but stopped arguing. Chen Qinghan, remembering the importance of humility, said, "Then let the younger brother go first."

"it is good!"

Chen Qi'an loudly expressed his agreement.

"Okay, let Da Bao drive first, Xiao Bao can sit."

"Ah, why?" Chen Qi'an's face immediately fell.

"Because Da Bao understands the importance of humility, but you don't."

"Then I'll let Da Bao go first."

"late."

Chen Qinghan happily opened the car door, sat inside, and patted the seat next to her, saying, "Xiao Bao, come sit down, your sister will take you."

"Hmph hmph hmph..."

Chen Qi'an hummed as he sat down, looking unwilling.
