I went to bed early the night before, so I woke up early the next morning.

When Xie Zhuo went to clean the bathroom before dawn, Xu Yan also woke up, but did not get up. The stove in the room was turned off when he went to bed at night, so the temperature was a little low.

She put her clothes under the quilt, planning to wait until the clothes were warm before getting up.

She waited until the sun came out and there were chirping sounds outside. Then she opened her eyes and rubbed her arm which was a little numb from being pressed so hard.

"Awake?" Xie Zhuo came in with a basket of coal briquettes. While tidying up the iron stove, he glanced at the kang.

"Well," Xu Yan's voice was still a little muffled, "Why did I fall asleep again?"

"You must be tired from riding in the car," Xie Zhuo said, "You have a small body, you need to replenish your energy."

"Still want to patch it up?" Xu Yan paused as he was holding the clothes. "If you patch it up again, you'll get fatter."

"Nonsense, how can you be considered fat? You're barely even a few pounds..." Xie Zhuo paused, then slid his gaze a little below Xu Yan's collarbone, "Except for some places, your waist is so thin. Every time we do it, I'm afraid that I'll use too much force and break your waist..."

Xie Zhuo didn't have the chance to say the next word as he was interrupted by the pillow thrown by Xu Yan.

The three kids all got up late today. After Xu Yan washed up, he went for a walk in the alley with Xie Zhuo. Then they came back and poked their heads out from under the quilts with their mouths open, like baby birds waiting to be fed by a big bird.

"You won't be able to eat unless you wash up," Xu Yan tore the cake into small pieces and waved it in front of the three kids, and finally put it into his own mouth.

"Third Uncle," Xiao Bao still didn't give up. He opened his mouth and stared at the cake in Xie Zhuo's hand.

"Do you want to eat?" Xie Zhuo asked with a smile.

"Yeah," Xiaobao nodded.

"If you want to eat then..."

He turned his wrist and the cake went into Xu Yan's mouth.

The following words were also completed, "Then get up quickly."

Xiaobao: "..."

Although they were reluctant to leave their warm beds, the three kids quickly put on their clothes for food, poured hot water, washed their faces, brushed their teeth, and then went to get some biscuits to eat.

Xu Yan was full, so she washed her hands again, then sat on the edge of the kang and waved to Dabao and the others.

"Come here, Auntie Three will rub some perfume on you. Then we'll go out and play, or we'll blow your little faces apart."

"Aunt San," Lin Dong came over first. He raised his hand and lifted up his hat before asking, "Are we going to play at grandma's house again today?"

"That's Third Aunt's mother, your grandma," Xu Yan rubbed the vanishing cream in his palm before smearing it on Lin Dong's face, "But you can call her grandma, anyway, there's no one in your Third Uncle's family who would pick on her."

"Oh," Lin Dong nodded.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to go?" Xu Yan touched his face and squeezed his mouth into a chicken's mouth.

"I would like to," Lin Dong said with a pout.

Xu Yan smiled and said, "Yesterday I saw you and Nannan playing the best. Do you like little sister?"

"I like Dabao and Xiaobao the most," Lin Dong frowned, "Little sister doesn't like to be happy."

"That's because my sister is still young," Xu Yan released his hand and adjusted his hat, "She has never played with a puppy before, so she is a little afraid to have fun."

Lin Dong thought about it, then nodded, and finally said: "Then I like Dabao and Xiaobao the most too."

"Okay," Xu Yan said helplessly, "It's your freedom to like whoever you want. Was there anything else yesterday that made you uncomfortable or unaccustomed? Third Aunt was a little busy yesterday and didn't pay much attention to you."

Lin Dong was indeed a little disappointed yesterday.

Because he was the only outsider whose surname was neither Xu nor Xie.

He had almost no experience of visiting relatives, so he was a little nervous when he was suddenly in an environment surrounded by strangers.

He doesn't have the enviable confidence, cheerfulness and generosity of Dabao and Xiaobao. He is a little timid when greeting people.

He also wanted to overcome it, but when he finally mustered up the courage, the greeting session was over.

The reason why he kept playing with the little girl was because Dabao and Xiaobao were talking around the grandfather and he had nowhere to go, so he stayed with the little girl happily.

At that moment, he felt a little helpless and lost.

Because his last name is Lin.

He was just a child picked up by his third uncle.

But it didn't take long for him to figure it out, because compared to before, he was so happy now.

only……

He didn't expect that Xu Yan would ask him today.

The restrained emotions were a little bit exposed in her eyes.

"No," Lin Dong shook his head gently, and before Xu Yan asked anything else, he rushed over and hugged her waist, burying his head in her arms, "It's just that I don't talk much. I don't know if my grandparents, uncles, and aunts will think I'm immature."

"How could that be?" Xu Yan rubbed Lin Dong's back. "Grandpa and grandma all praised you, as did my aunt."

"Ah?" Lin Dong stood up straight, "Really?"

"Really," Xu Yan nodded, "Especially my aunt, she said you are good looking and well behaved."

Lin Dong's expression became much better, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes. "What did grandpa and grandma say about me?"

"Grandpa and grandma, they said you look smart and that you look like a member of our family," Xu Yan said with a smile.

"Did you really say that?" Lin Dong raised the corners of his mouth, unable to suppress it.

"When has Third Aunt ever lied to you? Of course it's true," Xu Yan said.

Lin Dong was even happier.

Upon hearing this, Dabao and Xiaobao bit their biscuits and moved closer to Lin Dong, wanting to see what it looked like to be smart.

Before they could figure out what was going on, Xu Yan pulled them to his side one by one and started applying lotion on them.

Although the recent climate is much better than in winter, the wind is still strong. Xu Yan is still afraid that the three children's faces will be damaged by the wind, so he insists on applying facial oil on them.

I have to say that this vanishing cream does have some effect. The cracks on Lin Dong's face have completely disappeared after being applied for a few months.

Another house.

Xie Zhuo cut the hot biscuits into pieces and put them on a plate, and brought them to his aunt along with a bowl of cooked millet porridge.

The old man got up early and took a walk in the park not far from the alley. When he came back and was about to boil some water, he saw Xie Zhuo coming in.

"You've worked hard for several days by car to get back here, why don't you take a break? Why are you cooking again?" The aunt hurriedly took the plate from Xie Zhuo's hand.

"It's okay, please sit down," Xie Zhuo put the plate on the table.

"Did Yanyan do it?" asked my aunt.

"No, my mother brought it to us yesterday," Xie Zhuo said, "I heated it up today and cooked some porridge. Please try it."

My aunt was almost confused by his unusually natural way of addressing her. She was about to say, "Aren't both your parents gone?" but she swallowed the words back. She then realized that the "my mother" he was referring to was Chen Lihua.

"Then I must try it," said my aunt with a smile, "Lihua's cooking is excellent, I want to taste yours too."

Xie Zhuo also laughed.

After the group finished breakfast, Xie Zhuo and Xu Yan went to see the school first.

After all, school will start in a few days. I'll go there first to check out the place and calculate the time to go home. Then I'll go around to see the three kids' schools and calculate whether I can make it in time if I pick them up and drop them off at school.

University B is not far from the courtyard. Basically, you just exit the alley and take a shortcut through another alley. It’s a journey of about ten minutes.

Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo were quite satisfied with this distance.

However, although the three kids’ school is also about ten minutes away, it is in the completely opposite direction of University B.

My great aunt has lived here all her life, so she of course knew what the two schools were about. She immediately said that she could take the three children to school.

Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo felt that it was inappropriate to disturb her too much and were scolded by her, but they finally reached an agreement.

If Xu Yan and his classmates don't have classes, they will pick up the three kids. If they are in a hurry to go to school, their aunt will do the picking up.

A few days passed in a flash, and when Xie Zhuo and Xu Yan reported to the school, it was a sunny day. Although the weather was not yet completely hot, at least there was no wind.

Xu Yan wore a beautiful loose half-high collar red sweater that he had knitted himself, a pair of black wide-leg pants, and a pair of black calfskin shoes.

Her long hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and her face was bare except for some vanishing cream, yet she looked bright and charming.

When walking on the campus, Xie Zhuo, who often turns heads to look at her, wants to stand in front of her to block those improper thoughts.
