“Our son is really clever. He does not recognise many words yet, but those illustrated instruction booklets with pictures and text, he can understand them. He follows the instructions and has already built more than half of it.”
“I told him to pack it up and take it to Old Eighth’s house to continue building. With his big brother helping him, he should be able to finish those two bags of Lego today.”
Ning Yun Chu said, “Maybe Baby will also bring a big pile of toys to Old Eighth’s house.”
The little ones all know that whenever they go to the homes of those uncles who do not have wives yet, they have to bring their own toys. Those uncles do not have many things to play with at home. Even if they prepare some toys in advance for the children, there will not be a lot.
To avoid getting bored, they always bring their own toys when they visit.
“That is perfect then. The brothers can play together. He will not stick to you like glue all the time. On the weekend, you should spend some proper time with your man, me.”
Ning Yun Chu gave him a playful scolding look, “Are you still a child? Hurry up and wash your face. Shave your beard too. It is prickly.”
“I will go and eat something first.”
Zhan Yi Chen touched his chin and said, “A few days without shaving and it already feels prickly.”
He still pulled his wife close, demanded a sweet kiss, and only then let her go downstairs.
He washed up as quickly as possible, then shaved his beard. After that, he felt the clothes he was wearing did not make him look handsome enough, so he changed into another set. He stood in front of the mirror for quite a while before he was finally satisfied and went downstairs.
The family of three finished breakfast. By the time they left the house, it was already ten o’clock in the morning.
Le Le was the happiest. He kept urging Daddy to hurry up.
Even after getting in the car, he still complained, “Every time we go out, Daddy is the slowest. You are like a snail.”
Zhan Yi Chen laughed, “If Daddy is a snail, then you are a little snail, because you are my son.”
Le Le: “……”
Ning Yun Chu smiled, “Your daddy is like that. Whenever we go out to play, he dawdles. On weekends, he just wants to stay at home and sleep in.”
“Daddy is a lazy bug.”
“Yes, this lazy bug daddy gave birth to you, the little lazy bug.”
Le Le stopped talking.
He was Daddy’s son. No matter what he said about Daddy, Daddy would turn it back on him, which meant he was saying it about himself.
He could not win against Daddy.
Mm, better not say anything and avoid losing out.
The family of three from the Zhan Yi Chen household set off for Zhan Yue’s home. Over there, Zhan Yue was still waiting at the Zeng family clinic for Zeng Xiao Ya.
Recently, influenza had started spreading. Many people had caught the flu. Both hospitals and clinics were packed with patients coming to see doctors.
Zhan Yi Chen had never studied medicine. When he saw how busy the Zeng family was, he put on a mask and started helping to grab medicines.
He was not very good at reading prescriptions, so he always had to ask his second aunt before he could help properly.
After a while, the number of patients finally decreased a bit.
Second Aunt knew that her niece had already arranged to go to Zhan Yue’s house today to chat with the old lady. It was planned in advance and could not be changed. Besides, Zhan Yue had already been waiting for a full hour. They could not let him wait for nothing.
“Xiao Ya, it is not so busy now. You and Zhan Yue can go out and have fun.”
Second Aunt said to Zeng Xiao Ya.
Zeng Xiao Ya looked and saw only a few patients left. She asked Zhan Yue, “Are you in a hurry? If not, I will help Second Uncle finish seeing these last few patients so he can take a break too.”
The clinic had opened at half past six in the morning. Patients had been coming one after another, and the uncle and niece had been busy until now. Xiao Ya was fine. She worked at a big hospital and was used to high-pressure work.
She was just worried about her second uncle getting older and not having as much energy anymore.
