Xie Wanxing was the first to rush into the yard in high spirits. Before he even entered the backyard, Xie Heng, Xie Lin, and the others heard their little sister calling out, "Second brother, third brother, come out quickly! I have a big surprise for you."

Xie Heng immediately dropped the pen in his hand and jumped up to rush out: "My little sister brought me some delicious food."

"I'm going too!" Xie Yong followed immediately.

"Hey, you two..." Xie Lan and Xie Yuan couldn't catch them, and the rest of the people rushed out. Their figures disappeared at the door in an instant like a gust of wind.

"Little sister! What can you bring me..." Xie Heng's excited shouting stopped abruptly when he saw Shen Yuxi following Xie Wanxing into the room. It was as if someone poured a bucket of cold water on his head. He stood there blankly, looking at Shen Yuxi at a loss.

Xie Yong and Xie Lin were chasing after him and were also startled. They stood there in a daze with him. Was this a surprise brought by the little sister? Why was there only surprise and no joy?

"What are you looking at? Don't you even call out to the master when you see him?" Xie Songlin tied up the cow and was the last one to enter the house.

Xie Heng and the others finally woke up from their dream, lowered their heads, and shouted in unison, "Mr. Shen."

Shen Yuxi nodded slightly, a gentle smile on her face, "Don't be so nervous, I just came to see how your studies are going."

Xie Heng cried out in his heart: "Look at how bad their studies are, they're still frantically catching up on their homework!"

Xie Lan and Xie Yuan followed at the end. Although a little surprised, they still stepped forward quickly and saluted Shen Yuxi: "Mr. Shen."

"No need to be so polite." Shen Yuxi swept his eyes over everyone and asked tentatively, "Then let me take a look at your homework first?"

Xie Heng and the others' faces turned pale, their eyes filled with panic, their hands frantically rubbing their clothes behind their backs. They were so nervous that they didn't know how to answer Shen Yuxi, and could only respond with "this, this" for a long time.

Xie Wanxing stood aside, watching the expressions of her brothers, and secretly laughed in her heart. She knew that her brothers must be very nervous now, but this was also a lesson they deserved. Who told them not to do their homework properly during the New Year?

Xie Songlin looked at the boys' embarrassment and felt a little amused. However, he still gave them a way out and said to Shen Yuxi, "Don't worry about homework. It's almost time for dinner. Lan'er, take Mr. Shen to the back wing and choose a room to stay in."

When Xie Lan heard his father's order, he immediately stepped forward and said respectfully to Shen Yuxi, "Mr. Shen, please follow me."

"it is good."

Led by Xie Lan, Shen Yuxi walked towards the back room. The other boys watched them from behind and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that they had escaped this time, but the days ahead would be tough.

Thinking of this, they all turned their eyes to Xie Wanxing, who was still watching the show nearby. Their eyes were filled with a hint of resentment and a hint of blame: "Little sister, why did you bring the teacher back?"

Xie Wanxing felt the gazes of her brothers, but remained unmoved. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile: "Who told you not to do your homework properly? This is not my fault."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and finish your homework, as much as you can. You'll have something good to eat after dinner." Xie Wanxing waved her hand, looking nonchalant. She didn't continue to pay attention to them, turned and went into the kitchen to find Cheng Hui to talk about the fried chicken legs.

They watched Xie Wanxing leave and could only sigh sadly. They knew that it was useless to say anything now, so they could only hurry back to finish their homework, hoping to finish more before dinner.

By the time they had dinner, Xie Yong and the others had already run away. Although the food at Fourth Uncle's house was delicious, Mr. Shen was also there today, so they couldn't eat anything.

Xie Heng and Xie Lin couldn't run away, so they could only sit at the dining table and eat in small bites. They moved very carefully, thinking carefully before putting each bite of food into their mouths, and glanced at Shen Yuxi from time to time.

"It's so delicious. The food you cook is the best, Mom." The person who ate the most delicious food should be Xie Wanxing. She would smile and praise Cheng Hui from time to time.

Cheng Hui smiled and said to Shen Yuxi, "Yunhan, it's rare for you to come home. Is the food to your liking?"

"Thank you, auntie. The food you cook is delicious." Shen Yuxi nodded slightly, her tone sincere.

"If it tastes good, then eat more. You've done me a great job teaching my kids."

Shen Yuxi said modestly, "I don't deserve Yunhan's honor. I'm still just a student. I can only do my best to help."

After dinner, Qiuyue and the others packed up and went back to the kitchen, intending to study the new product with Cheng Hui, while the others were still sitting in the dining room.

Xie Songlin coughed lightly: "Don't you have anything to tell Mr. Shen?"

Xie Lin and Xie Heng sat on chairs, their hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of their clothes, their knuckles turning white from the effort. Their eyes drifted to Shen Yuxi who was sitting opposite them from time to time, and then quickly dodged away.

Xie Heng licked his dry lips and broke the silence first, his voice as low as a mosquito's hum: "Mr. Shen, I...we have something to say."

Shen Yuxi raised her head and looked at them calmly, as if she had expected something: "Go ahead."

Xie Lin took a deep breath, as if mustering up great courage, "Sir, we... haven't finished the homework you left before the New Year. We fell behind a lot during the New Year." After saying that, he lowered his head even more, almost burying it in his chest.

Xie Heng then whispered, "We know we were wrong, sir."

Shen Yuxi was silent for a moment before sighing. Her tone was calm but carried an undeniable seriousness. "I understand, but there must be a limit to playing around. Starting tomorrow, in addition to completing your previous homework, I will assign you additional tasks to make up for your slackness during this period."

Xie Lin and Xie Heng raised their heads, not expecting to be let off so easily. They nodded repeatedly, "Sir, we will definitely complete this task well."

"Then bring all your homework here. I'll see how much you've done." Shen Yuxi sat back down. "Xie Lan, bring your homework too."

"Yes, sir." Xie Lan nodded and took his two younger brothers back to the room in the backyard to get their homework.

Shen Yuxi was checking the homework of several children in the dining room. Xie Songlin listened for a while, felt it was boring, and got up and left the dining room.

He walked towards the kitchen, thinking about the delicious fried chicken legs. In the kitchen, sisters Cheng Hui and Qiuyue were busy, the oil in the wok was sizzling and emitting an enticing aroma.

Xie Songlin looked at the golden and crispy chicken drumstick and smiled: "This fried chicken drumstick looks delicious."

"There are also sweet potato fries and fried dumplings that Ah Xing wants to eat." Cheng Hui scooped up another large spoonful of fried sweet potato fries from the wok. They were coated with flour and fried until golden brown, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

"Let me try it first." Xie Songlin grabbed a fried glutinous rice ball impatiently, but put it down because it was too hot.

Cheng Hui was speechless: "You are old, can you be more steady?"
