"Ouch, it hurts!"

Xiaobao frowned and looked at Dabao for help, "Brother, help me!"

Dabao glanced at Erbao with a slightly reproachful look, and the latter had to let go reluctantly, feeling very aggrieved: he had always listened to his eldest brother, so why couldn't Xiaobao be obedient?

Xie Yi and Xu Xiufang looked at the bickering brothers with smiles in their eyes, and then turned their gaze to Xiaoyun.

Just now, Xie Yi tried to carry her and walk, but she insisted on trying to walk this distance by herself.

Xiaoyun held her mother's hand tightly. Although her steps were slow, for her short legs, such a speed required her full commitment.

Her calves moved rapidly, her eyes fixed straight ahead, and she was completely oblivious to the laughter and scolding among her brothers. Her concentration and childish look made people want to touch her chubby cheeks.

This is their soft and sticky little baby!

Xu Xiufang gently rubbed Xiaoyun's head, then slowly squatted down and called out with gentle eyes: "Xiaoyun!"

"Ok?"

Xiaoyun raised her head, her eyes full of confusion and innocence.

"Come on, act like a spoiled child for your mother."

Xu Xiufang's words were filled with smiles and doting.

"How?"

Xiaoyun blinked her big black eyes, which were like crystal clear black grapes, flickering in the morning light, with a hint of curiosity and expectation.

"You ask mom, how could mom not know?"

Xu Xiufang smiled with her lips pursed, her eyes revealing a bit of cuteness and mischief, and she deliberately dragged out the last syllable of the word, speaking in a coquettish manner.

Xiaoyun's tender little face was instantly filled with a speechless look. Her bright eyes seemed to be questioning silently. Her small brows were lightly frowned, forming a cute figure eight shape, as if to say: This answer is too irresponsible, isn't it?

Xu Xiufang was a person of exquisite sensitivity, and she actually read the "hard to express" profound meaning from Xiaoyun's childish expression. It was as if the roles were reversed, Xu Xiufang became the child who needed to be coaxed, and Xiaoyun was the mature adult who saw through everything.

This subtle change made Xu Xiufang at a loss for words for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

The next moment, Xiaoyun seemed to sense the change in his mother's mood. He gently patted Xu Xiufang's shoulder and said with a calmness and tenderness beyond his age, serious but with the sweetness and tenderness unique to children: "Mom, be good~"

The tone was clearly imitating the way adults coax children, which made people laugh.

"Hahahahahahaha," Dabao and Xiaobao on the side laughed without restraint, tears welled up in the corners of Dabao's eyes and his whole face was glowing with joy.

Xu Xiufang turned her gaze to Xie Yi, only to see a gentle smile on his lips. After noticing her gaze, he coughed lightly, as if trying his best to hide the embarrassment of holding back a laugh.

There was a glimmer of cunning in Xu Xiufang's eyes, which then turned into a threatening look. She turned her gaze back to Erbao and Xiaobao who were still laughing exaggeratedly.

Xiaobao seemed to have caught the subtle change in the air and immediately stopped laughing. Only Erbao was still looking naive and unaware of the impending "storm".

Xu Xiufang spoke slowly, her voice calm but with a hint of unquestionable majesty: "Erbao!"

"Ah? Hahahaha?"

Erbao laughed so hard that he almost cried, and he had no idea what would happen next.

"Take two more tests tonight."

Xu Xiufang announced expressionlessly, her words concise but powerful.

Erbao's smile suddenly stopped, as if he was frozen by the sudden "judgment". He hurriedly tried to save the situation: "Mom..."

"Don't you want to apply to military school?"

Xu Xiufang raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing both teasing and serious inquiry.

Erbao's expression froze instantly. Although he had thousands of words in his heart, they only turned into one word: "..."

He thought about it, of course he did!

When the family returned home, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Xiaoyu had already picked up Jiang Yin and returned together.

"Auntie!"

As soon as Jiang Yin saw Xu Xiufang, she jumped for joy like a bird in spring and ran over with a smile.

When she noticed Xie Yi, her face couldn't help but be tinged with shyness, "Hello, uncle."

"Coming?"

Xu Xiufang greeted her gently, while keeping an eye on the door, waiting for Erbao to open it.

Xu Xiaoyu asked in confusion, "You call my sister aunt and me uncle-in-law?"

"is it not OK?"

Jiang Yin's cheeks flushed when she heard this. She privately felt that Xu Xiufang was too young and beautiful, and calling her "aunt" seemed to make her seem too mature.

"No problem," Xu Xiufang tapped Xu Xiaoyu's head, joking with a bit of tolerance from an elder, and said as she walked towards the door, "This is just a name based on generation."

Xu Xiaoyu followed closely behind, muttering softly: "I feel like calling you that makes you sound old!"

"Go wash the vegetables," Xu Xiufang tapped her fingers and pointed in the direction of the kitchen, her words carrying irrefutable authority.

"Okay, okay, I'll go," Xu Xiaoyu agreed reluctantly, and then turned to Erbao who was still in a daze and gave an order, "Erbao, go cook!"

"I'm coming!"

Erbao followed him, jumping up and down, and whispered in his uncle's ear, "Uncle, I have to do two test papers today!"

That expression seemed to say, "You know what this means, right?"

Xu Xiaoyu pretended to understand and whispered into Erbao's ear: "As long as you help me wash the vegetables, I will teach you how to solve the problem."

"Okay, okay," Erbao's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he had discovered a new world.

This pair of uncle and nephew, one is smart and eccentric, the other is kind and funny. The little moments they spend together make people smile knowingly and feel extremely warm at the same time.

Xu Xiufang looked at this funny couple, feeling both angry and amused. She turned around and found Jiang Yin still standing there in a daze, so she gently called her in and asked with great concern, "Is your grandma okay?"

"She was still in the hospital when I came, but she is fine now. My parents are taking care of her."

Jiang Yin answered as she walked in quickly.

"That's good," Xu Xiufang nodded slightly, and then asked with concern, "You came here alone. Did everything go well on the way?"

"It went pretty smoothly," Jiang Yin responded with a smile, her simple words revealing the difficulty and growth of the journey.

Xu Xiufang's eyes gently swept across Jiang Yin's dark circles and slightly tired face, and she felt secretly distressed in her heart.

Jiang Yin grew up under the meticulous care of her parents. Taking a train and traveling long distance alone for the first time was undoubtedly a challenge. She must have experienced a lot of anxiety and sleepless nights during the journey.

"You guys still have two days before school starts, right?"

Xu Xiufang's tone became even softer.

"Yes," Jiang Yin nodded. She always answered Xu Xiufang's questions honestly.
