"Hahaha... Oh, this is the first time I see my son being so sensible." Song Hong was laughing so hard that she almost clapped her hands.

"I think you should have a second child. Look how sensible Linlin is after having a younger brother. She takes good care of him." Aunt Yuan looked pleased. "I'll tell Zhengjun today."

"Mom, I think it's not bad to have a second child. If it's a sister, Linlin will probably be more sensible." Song Hong seemed to have opened up a new idea. She used to think that with Linlin, a naughty girl, she was too tired to take care of other things.

Who would want to have a second child and make things difficult for themselves?

But seeing how sensible my son is today, I suddenly feel that having a second child would not be a bad idea!

Ji Xiaoxi laughed when she heard this. She didn't expect that she had inexplicably become the one who induced labor.

Song Hong sat next to Ji Xiaoxi and asked her with a smile, "Xiaoxi, how did you educate your An An? Even our bastard son has become so sensible."

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and said, "I usually just tell him stories and encourage him. I don't do anything else on purpose."

"Telling stories? What kind of stories?" Song Hong was a little curious. "Speaking of telling stories, our old Qi told Linlin stories about heroes like Lei Feng, Huang Jiguang, and Dong Cunrui, but that kid didn't learn anything. He just fought all day long and rolled in the mud, which made his father very angry."

"When telling a story, you can't just tell the story, you have to interact with the children, and let the children learn life lessons from the story while being interested in it."

"Then next time you tell a story, can you also invite our Linlin to listen?"

"Don't bother with that. Our An'an can tell the story, too. When the time comes, let An'an tell his brother Linlin the story. It will be more effective than me telling it."

"Oh my, you must have a big baby, how come he is so smart."

The Lu family's eldest baby, at this time, was carrying a big bag of snacks and followed Qi Lin to the small square in the family area to play.

There were some simple fitness equipment there, such as horizontal bars, parallel bars, and sand courts. A few little men were squatting under the parallel bars playing with glass marbles, and not far away there were a few little girls playing hopscotch. Further away there were a few children playing with paper airplanes.

Like big brother Qi Lin, he led An An into the group playing with glass marbles and said, "Come, let me introduce our new partner to everyone. An An is my younger brother from now on, and also your younger brother. He is the youngest, so everyone should take good care of him."

One child said, "Brother Lin, how do you know he is the youngest? Our Xiaoqiang is only 3 years old."

Qi Lin lowered his head and asked An An, "An An, how old are you?"

An An held up three fingers, "3 years old."

Qi Lin said proudly, "Look, An An is also 3 years old."

The child asked again, "Which month is your birthday? My brother's birthday is in November."

"Why do you care what month the birthday is? I said An An is the youngest, so why are you talking so much nonsense?" Qi Lin's face changed in an instant.

"Guoguo, don't be angry, eat Guoguo." An An took out a piece of dried fruit from his pocket and handed it to Qi Lin. He also handed dried fruit to other children, picked up a piece of dried fruit and started to bite it. While biting, he squinted his eyes and said, "Good!"

When they heard him say it was delicious, several children immediately stuffed the dried fruits into their mouths. It was the first time for them to eat this thing, and it was quite chewy, sour and sweet, which was the taste that children liked.

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene became joyful.

After eating other people's snacks, the child no longer worried about what month An An was born. Several children surrounded this fair and tender little ball and started chattering and asking questions.

"An An's birthday is in December." An An first answered the first question, and then answered other people's questions in turn.

He didn't understand some of the questions, so he just gave random answers. The kids were asking random questions anyway, so he gave random answers too, and they had a lot of fun chatting happily even though it was a mess.

Several children liked the white ball very much. No one believed that he was from the countryside, not even the oldest one, Qi Lin.

She is so pretty, like a glutinous rice dumpling, and her clothes are cleaner and nicer than theirs. How could she be from the countryside?

If we talk about someone who came from the country, Sun Qiang, who was squatting on the ground playing in the mud, looked more like someone who came from the country. He was obviously also 3 years old, but his face was never clean, with snot and tears, and his clothes and pants were also black.

Qi Lin had told Sun Jian many times to wash his brother, but Sun Jian said that even if his brother was washed clean now, he would crawl to the ground again after a while, so he simply ignored him.

A child ate An An's dried fruit, so he took out a few marbles and handed them to him, inviting him enthusiastically, "An An, do you want to play marbles with me?"

Qi Lin pushed his hand away, took out a handful of colorful marbles from his trouser pocket and handed them to An An, "Don't use his, use yours. Your marbles are prettier."

An An looked at the two hands stretched out in front of her and chose to take the one in Qi Lin's hand.

His eyes curved and he said with a grin, "Thank you, Guoguo, but An An doesn't know how to play."

"Come, I'll teach you how to play." Qi Lin was so happy that he took a bead of the same color and put it on the ground, calling out to the others, "Put down your beads quickly, and watch me win all your beads back."

"Brother Lin, if you and An An are considered a team, then we should also form a team."

"Let's team up. An An and I promise to win all the marbles in your pockets."

"An An doesn't even know how to play, Brother Lin, you are the one who is bound to lose."

"What a joke! I can beat you all by myself."

“Come and try it!”

"Just give it a try!" Qi Lin pulled An An down and squatted down, smiling and comforting him, "An An, just play whatever you want. If you lose, it's my turn, and if you win, it's all yours."

"Okay." An An listened in confusion. He had never played marbles in Baiyun Village and didn't know how to play it, but it sounded quite simple.

"Has Brother Lin started yet? Let An An play first."

Qi Lin looked at An An and gave him the simplest tactical arrangement, "An An, you will flick this bead and see if you can hit it."

"Okay." An An nodded his chin, tilted his head, squinted one eye, and bent his index finger to flick at the marble.

Everyone's eyes followed the marbles as they were shot out.

--Ding!

There was a crisp sound of glass colliding.

"I won!!! An An is awesome." Qi Lin was happier than if he had won himself.

The other children around were also happy, and even the owner of the bead took the initiative to pick up the bead and handed it to An An, reminding him, "You can play once more."

"If I win, can I play again?" An An took the glass bead and asked, "Is this for An An?"

"You hit it, so it's yours. As long as you hit it, you can play again. If you keep hitting it, you can play forever." Qi Lin quickly explained the rules to him and encouraged him, "An An, play this one next. The angle is good."

"Okay." An An changed his position, continued to squint one eye, and looked forward.
