Me at two years old, a queen!

Remembering the red envelope, An'an suddenly asked, "Daddy, did you steal my money?"

"no!"

"Then why do I only have one green card, while my brother has so many red ones?"

"The green one bought more candy!"

"Really? Dad~ That's so kind of them. They'll treat you well too when you get old."

"Tsk~" The man poked the troublemaker's head irritably: "Stop causing me trouble all day long, I'm not going to live to see the end of my life!"

Qin Shuo looked at the man who could lie without batting an eye and cursed his cunning inwardly. He then went up to him and tricked him into going out to play. The more he tricked the man, the more foolish he became. Since he couldn't get rid of the older one, he decided to cultivate a relationship with the two younger ones.

An'an dragged her brother and the others straight to the convenience store, where Qin Shuo emptied his meager change and bought a bunch of miscellaneous firecrackers.

The group ran to a pond, and Qin Shuo pointed to a section in front of them: "Come on, let's go! Take over this fishpond for me!"

After speaking, he stepped forward and threw two grenade-shaped firecrackers inside. An'an followed suit, pulled the pin, and threw one forward. Qin Yanzhou, seeing what was at his feet, hurriedly grabbed An'an and ran.

"younger sister!"

Looking at the bewildered An'an, Qin Yanzhou finally turned his anger towards the man who had instigated the incident.

"What are you doing? Don't you know that children shouldn't play with such dangerous things!"

The man touched his nose guiltily, then took out a few boxes of firecrackers from the bag and handed them to the little girl: "Here, this is the little princess's weapon!"

"She's the queen!"

"Yes, yes, you're the queen. Here, take it and just toss it over there."

The commotion caused by the one adult and two children attracted the attention of several other children nearby, who one by one came over to join the ranks of those frying fish.

"Where did these little brats come from? One by one, they've ruined my fish like this! I'm calling your families!"

"Run! Old Li is coming!"

"Quickly! Run!"

"Stop right there! You little brats, I'll teach you a lesson after this!"

An'an was still holding the firecrackers when she was suddenly grabbed and run away. She kept her eyes on the shoes tossing and turning on the ground while throwing firecrackers at them.

Qin Yanzhou, panting heavily, looked at the man standing with his hands on his hips, his expression somewhat strange: "I thought you were bad, but I didn't expect you to be so utterly inhuman!"

"Hey~, you brat, how dare you talk to your old man like that?"

An'an glanced at the two of them, realizing she didn't quite understand, and then went with her friends to fry something new. Looking at the dark, gooey lump, she and a child about her age squeezed forward to fry it.

Everyone else was playing with firecrackers, throwing one and getting a "Bom~" sound, which was beyond the reach of elementary school kids like them. They had to go to the front to throw accurately.

"This cow dung is mine, you guys go blast other things!"

An'an continued frying cow dung while simultaneously guarding her dung to prevent others from frying it.

"Is there any more cow dung?"

After frying one dung heap, they went to look for more.

When Qin Shuo and his son came forward to rescue her, they were shocked: "My ancestor, what are you doing? A girl shouldn't be playing with cow dung like a rough guy!"

"You're going to get yourself killed if you do that!"

"Hehe~, cow dung, fun~"

"..."

The group returned to the courtyard gate. An'an picked up the gluttonous little devil who had come out after smelling the aroma, rubbed her face against him, and then the little devil struggled to get out of her arms, sniffed again, and ran away.

Seeing this, An'an angrily tried to go in and hug the dog, but the man grabbed her arm and said, "Hey~, my dear, my queen, if you go in like that, your dad will beat you to death!"

"Waaah~, what am I going to do if I smell bad?"

An'an also thought about how her father always made her wash her hands and change her clothes as soon as she got home. He knew she was playing with the cow's poop; he'd definitely beat her to death!

"Yanzhou, go steal a bottle of your mother's perfume, I'll spray some on her." Although Qin Shuo was reluctant, he still wiped away her tears; otherwise, if her father saw them, he'd be finished.

"Don't cry, okay? I'll spray you with something fragrant and marinate you until you're well-seasoned. Nobody will be able to tell you went out to fry cow dung today."

And so, Qin Yanzhou watched helplessly as most of his mother's perfume bottle disappeared, and An'an really did get marinated, just as he had said.

"Ugh~ Tch~"

As soon as Qin Shuo came in, he found Jun Min: "Wife~, give An'an a bath, she's all sweaty and might catch a cold~"

An'an was about to ask when she had started sweating when he carried her into the bathroom. Seeing this, Junmin swallowed back the curse he was about to utter and went to get clothes from Lu Junxing.

"Listen to me, you won't smell bad after a shower!"

An An scratched her head: "Ugh~ Tch, don't I smell nice?"

"Ah, smells good, it smells even better after a bath."

Qin Shuo couldn't stand the smell and ran away. Jun Min came in and sneezed several times, assuming she was playing with her perfume.

After all, she had secretly played with her lipstick on New Year's Day. Little girls love cosmetics, so she didn't think much of it. She was just a little worried that the ingredients might not be suitable for children.

"An'an, how about Auntie orders two bottles of perfume for kids as a gift for you in the future?"

"One for the older brother, and one for An'an~"

"Good~"

When An'an came out again wearing an autumn dress, she smelled wonderful. When Lu Junxing came out, he saw the troublesome girl constantly raising her arm to sniff.

What are you smelling?

"Daddy~, smell how nice I am~"

The man checked and saw that nothing was wrong, then patted her head and said, "Behave yourself! Do your homework in the yard later."

Lu Junxing only learned about the winter break homework from a New Year's greeting call from Bai Ning, the kindergarten teacher. Her child hadn't done any of it. He always disliked too many messages and had muted the class's parent group chat.

The teacher only took the opportunity of New Year's greetings to casually remind him of this.

Qin Shuo slipped away in the afternoon, and Zhao Jingtang also went out to attend to his own business.

In addition, a group of adults sat in the yard, watching curiously as the little girl watched a video and did her craft project to finish her homework. Many of them were eager to help, as this was their little darling's first assignment.

Just as Lu Junxing tore up the paper that the little girl had painstakingly cut out.

Lu Jing accidentally flattened the lantern he had made.

The old man accidentally soaked the little girl's folded toy airplane with tea.

In the end, Junmin and Qin Yanzhou, who had some experience, stepped forward to help complete the assignments one by one. Lu Junxing casually took a picture and uploaded it.

"Dad, be serious! Help me take a good picture!"

"Alright, enough with the nonsense!"

An'an was so angry when she heard this that she chased after Lu Junxing and hit him.

"Oh, everyone's here! Happy New Year! I'm the group leader in this village. Sorry to bother you."

Hello~, Happy New Year!

"Come, sit down, have some tea~" Ms. Song Yuan invited Aunt Liu to bring out the snacks they had made: "These are some local dishes that we just learned to make. Why don't you try them and see if they're authentic?"

"!!" An'an looked at her familiar grandfather and quickly tugged at her brother's sleeve: "Brother~, Old Li?"
