Chapter 1297: Likes

Here in the Capital, the kids never get tired of going out to play, and Han Xiangjun is all for it. Taking kids out is different from taking women; it’s something he’s willing to do. Of course, he was happy to take women out too, but it doesn’t compare to the joy of taking kids.

They visit all the entertainment venues in the Capital, just to broaden the kids’ horizons.

Jiang Xinyu joked with Wei Kaiyun, "These three kids won’t want to live in the Capital, will they?"

"If they want to, we’ll just move here."

Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "No way. It really won’t work."

Wei Kaiyun knows his wife knows some things, maybe just like him, she’s aware of certain things about the future.

So, he never questions it, just listens as instructed.

"Don’t worry about them; probably by next month, they’ll be tired of playing."

Jiang Xinyu nodded with a smile. She knows what Han Xiangjun means; it’s about broadening the kids’ perspectives, especially for Feifei. Han Xiangjun worries his daughter might not have seen enough of the world and could be deceived.

However, Jiang Xinyu thinks that anyone trying to lure her daughter with material things probably doesn’t exist. That girl is quite clever.

"Look at Shi Xian when he sees Old Han, always sucking up to him; I can’t even stand to look. It’s eye-searing."

Wei Kaiyun laughed heartily. Yes, their youngest is really quite astute.

Han Xiangjun can’t resist Shi Xian’s affection, so he’s more likely than not to take him along.

But then Ah Bao isn’t happy and cries every day. Luckily, that little girl is there to keep him company.

"Wife, we’re not busy either, how about we go out for a few days on our own? Just the two of us, no one else."

"Going out on our own, do you think that’s possible? And where could we go?

Shopping would be too conspicuous. It’s all wilted and yellow now, and there’s nothing to see. Besides, it’s so cold outside, I’d rather stay home."

"Wife, how about I take you out to eat around the Capital?"

Wei Kaiyun fears his wife is bored, so he wants to cheer her up.

Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "No, I worry Old Yang might be swayed by Xiao Li’s resentful gaze."

"Let him figure it out himself."

Just as they were talking, Tingting came in holding Ah Bao, who just learned to walk.

Looking at the little guy’s ingratiating smile, "Ah Bao must be spending too much time with Shi Xian. See, their expressions are almost the same now."

"Hehe." Wei Kaiyun looked at the little flatterer on the floor, and Old Yang is now just getting a headache over this little guy.

Ah Bao let go of Tingting’s hand, standing and smiling at Jiang Xinyu.

"Ah Bao, come over to Auntie."

The little one ran over, unable to stop, and hugged Jiang Xinyu’s leg tightly.

Wei Kaiyun tried to pick him up, but he struggled several times. Only when he was placed in Jiang Xinyu’s arms did he clasp her neck and refuse to let go.

Tingting obediently walked to Wei Kaiyun’s side, was picked up, and placed on a chair.

The little girl smiled at Wei Kaiyun and called him Dad.

Wei Kaiyun nodded with a smile, having raised her for so long, from initially not liking her to now accepting her.

"Ah Bao, why are you being so good today?"

The little one puckered his lips into a smile. His eyes were smiling, making him even more endearing.

Zhao Xiaoli also came in, looked at her son, and sighed, "I’m just hoping he grows up quickly and becomes sensible."

"Haha, when he grows up, you’ll also get old."

"Hehe, I know, but it’s better than worrying about him like this."

"When he grows up, you’ll have even more to worry about."

Zhao Xiaoli looked dejected and rubbed her belly, "Hopefully, this one’s a girl; Feifei and Tingting are much better than these troublesome boys."

Jiang Xinyu just smiled. Such deep resentment.

"Where’s Xiao Qiang?"

"Went to find Chaoyang. By the way, Chaoyang should go back in about ten days."

"Yes, it’s good to head back early; if heavy snow traps you somewhere, it’ll be troublesome."

"Exactly, just because there’s no snow here doesn’t mean there isn’t snow there."

"Yeah, Xiao Li, do you also want to go back?"

Zhao Xiaoli nodded, "Yes, I also want to go back. I don’t feel as at ease here as I do there."

Actually, Jiang Xinyu feels the same way.

"Xinyu, I’m thinking we should go back with Chaoyang."

Jiang Xinyu was a little surprised, "You really want to go back?"

"Yes, I really want to go back. Here, I feel like a guest, never as comfortable as there."

"What does Old Yang say?"

"He has no opinion; he listens to me."

"How about we go back too?"

"What’s the rush? Master Shang still needs acupuncture."

Jiang Xinyu nodded. Yes, there’s still Master Shang.

"Mm, Sister Zhang will go back with you. We’ll wait until spring to return."

"Mm, Chaoyang said if we’re going back, it’ll be a few days early."

"Okay, are you taking Ah Bao back or leaving him here? He can stay here too."

Zhao Xiaoli looked at her son disdainfully, "Better take him back; you already have five kids here; it’s too chaotic."

Ah Bao already understands everything. Listening to their conversation, he immediately clung tightly to Jiang Xinyu’s neck.

"Haha, Ah Bao doesn’t want to leave."

The little one nodded, making Zhao Xiaoli want to smack him.

"Xinyu, I remember Shi Xian being mischievous at this age but not like this; this child is really annoying."

"Shi Xian was like that too, not liked by cats or dogs."

"Indeed, let’s discuss which day to go back. I want to hibernate at home for the winter."

"That’s good." Jiang Xinyu doesn’t mind. Anywhere is fine as long as she has Wei Kaiyun and the children around her.

In the evening, everyone was home. There was rice porridge, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried bean sprouts, and steamed white bread.

Due to Shang Zhenkun’s health, the home meals were all vegetarian.

The kids eat out every day at noon, so eating vegetarian at home is no problem.

The three even secretly bring back snacks for their younger siblings and Master Shang.

"Xiao Wei, Old Han, the four of us will go back with Chaoyang."

Chaoyang put down his porridge bowl, "Master Han, the workers have applied not to take time off."

"So if you leave, I’ll have to oversee them?"

Chaoyang dared not laugh but nodded anyway.

"No way, vacation. I’m not willing to worry about it over the holidays; tell them they must take time off. Xiao Jiang, help calculate the accounts tomorrow and give each of them a ten yuan bonus."

Who wants to work through the holidays? Is it just for the extra pay?

"Master, can you take the village’s dividends with you? I don’t dare."

Wei Kaiyun knows the approximate amount. It’s indeed substantial, so Chaoyang’s worry is understandable.

"Sure, we’ll take it back."

"Master Han, I’ll tell them we’ll take a break the day after tomorrow, and the day after that, we’ll head home. With Master Yang’s family, it won’t be a lonely journey."

Han Xiangjun nodded, and the kids knew they wouldn’t have time to be taken out tomorrow.
