At six o’clock in the morning, Si Nian woke up. It was only after she got up that she realized Yaoyao was beside her, and her man was gone. She threw off the quilt and got out of bed.

Zhou Yueshen had already left.

Si Nian ran her fingers through her hair and went to the living room. A delicious aroma was wafting from the kitchen; Zhou Zedong was making breakfast.

Just then, he walked out carrying a dish. Seeing Si Nian, he said, Mom, I made noodles today.

This was the hand-pulled noodles Si Nian had taught him to make, kneading the dough himself.

He had made it a few times before, and the children all loved it.

Now he had learned to do it quite decently. He could even fry an egg in the shape of a heart, sprinkled with chopped green onions. The clear broth noodles with floating oil droplets were coated with rich soup in every bite.

Where is Dad? Usually, Zhou Yueshen got up earlier than Si Nian, but he was nowhere to be seen today.

Si Nian replied, Dad went on a business trip.

Then I made too much. Zhou Zedong frowned.

Having lacked food since childhood, even knowing that their family was well-off now, he would not waste food.

Si Nian cast her eyes down. Because Zhou Yueshen had a big appetite, Little Dong had cooked a huge bowl.

They definitely couldn’t finish it. It’s a pity for these noodles, let’s give them to Da Huang.

That was the only way, otherwise, it wouldn’t taste good if kept until the afternoon, and they always ate lunch at the cafeteria.

Si Nian went into the room to wash Yaoyao’s face and braid her hair, then changed her clothes, put on her little backpack, and took her downstairs.

The little girl was so sleepy she could barely open her eyes, but Si Nian couldn’t let her stay in bed now, as she was a kindergartener after all.

Kindergartens nowadays didn’t teach much. Although called kindergartens, they were actually just places where people who couldn’t take care of their children at home sent them for the teachers to watch over.

So the things Yaoyao learned there were very boring.

Fortunately, Si Nian would prepare some homework for her in advance, like practicing writing strokes and pinyin, for her to do at school.

No matter how smart she was, she still needed to practice the basics well.

Otherwise, writing characters that looked like chicken scratches wouldn’t be good.

Second Child had also started practicing his handwriting now. His handwriting was truly too ugly, to the point where he couldn’t even recognize it himself when he looked back at it.

So Si Nian also required him to practice writing for half an hour every day.

These past few days, Zhou Yueshen had told them not to come into contact with outsiders, so Si Nian only went to school and picked up the children.

Because of this, she hadn’t been to the dormitory for several days.

With Zhou Yueshen away for a few days, the house was also quieter. The sound of Second Child crying for his parents while being supervised by his dad practicing martial arts could no longer be heard.

At first, Si Nian was just a little unaccustomed to it, but when she went to sleep at night and subconsciously reached out, she touched nothing.

After sleeping in a man’s arms for a long time, his sudden disappearance really took some getting used to.

So Si Nian brought Yaoyao to her room to sleep with her daughter.

The fragrant and soft little dumpling was much more comfortable to hold than the old man.

Three days after Zhou Yueshen left, Si Nian heard that Wang Ergou had been released.

Previously, he had failed to steal from their house and instead fell from the wall, breaking his head.

After being taken to the hospital, he stayed for a few days, but then ran off to steal again because he had no money, and was caught once more.

This ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‍time he was detained for a few days.

Now that he was out, he was sneaking around in the alley.

Si Nian saw him on her way home.

When the other party turned around and saw her, he shuddered in fear and ran away as fast as his legs could carry him.

Si Nian looked left and right. There was no one around her, what was he afraid of?

Did she look terrifying?

How strange. He was scared unconscious by Da Huang before, and now he ran over again. Couldn’t he see such a big dog tied up in her yard?

If you say he wasn’t afraid, he fainted from fright the first time he came.

If you say he was afraid, he dared to come again.

She couldn’t figure out this thief’s thoughts.

Could it be that he came to apologize?

Si Nian was amused by her own thought.

However, she didn’t expect that in the afternoon, someone knocked on the door. Comrade Xiao Si, why is there fruit at your door? Who brought it for you?

Why don’t you take it in? Otherwise, it would be a loss if someone else took it.

It was a few aunties she had met on the road earlier.

Si Nian confusedly picked up the bag, opened it, and saw a few oranges.

There was also a crumpled piece of paper inside. She opened it and saw a crookedly written sentence.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to climb your wall on purpose. I just went the wrong way, I hope you don’t blame me. — Wang Ergou.

Si Nian was speechless. He really came to apologize?

The women asked curiously, Is it for your family?

Si Nian nodded. Seeing that they looked like they were here for a visit, she quickly asked, Are you aunties looking for me for something?

They smiled and said, Nothing much, just came to take a look. I saw your family moving in a while ago, and there were always cars hauling things over. You must have bought a lot of good things.

Yes, I saw them hauling bricks over too. The road around here was full of potholes, and I saw him hauling sand to fill them. We used to fall when riding our bicycles here, but now it’s very flat.

The other person sighed with emotion, Speaking of this, we really have to thank Comrade Xiao Si’s man. That road hasn’t been repaired for a long time, and no one was willing to spend money on it.

Yes, we just came to thank you, but we don’t have anything good at home, so we brought you some rice and eggs.

You’re all too polite. That was also because it was hard for us to haul things in, so we filled it up. Who knows when the main road will be fixed.

They were also doing it for their own convenience.

Please come in and sit down.

Since the neighbors had come to visit, Si Nian couldn’t let them stand outside talking, so she led them into the house.

As soon as they entered, they saw Da Huang lying under the tree, and almost dropped the eggs in their hands from fright.

Oh my goodness, such a big dog.

Is this raised for eating?

Da Huang was speechless.

Si Nian felt a sweat drop.

No, it’s raised to guard the house and yard.

True, if it were me, I wouldn’t dare eat such a big dog either.

Entering the house, everyone was stunned. The Zhou family’s house was cleaned so well; the floor was shiny, and the cement floor was reflecting light.

Seeing Si Nian changing her shoes, the group didn’t know what to do.

They weren’t this particular.

Comrade Xiao Si, your house is cleaned too well. Should we also change our shoes?

Another auntie blushed and said, My feet smell a bit, I hope you don’t mind.

Si Nian hadn’t expected anyone to visit, and hearing this made her feel a bit awkward.

She rubbed her nose and said, It’s fine, you don’t need to change. My house is mainly this clean because we have a lot of kids who like to play on the floor.

Actually, it was because Second Child, trained by his dad, cleaned the house whenever he had nothing to do, making it this clean.

Cleaning every day, how could it not be clean?

Everyone looked around and saw everything neatly arranged. There were beautiful patterned cushions on the sofa, and the TV cabinet was covered with gauze. The windows also had matching gauze curtains.

It was both beautiful and kept the dust out.
