Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao returned home after picking apples, and found that Lin Fei and Ji Leyu had returned with the other four children. Not only were they back, but everyone was studying separately.
Those who were reading quietly were reading with Lin Fei in the room, while those who didn’t want to read were reciting poems with Ji Leyu on the small bench outside the house.
Ji Leyu was afraid it would be too difficult for them to memorize, so he chose relatively simple poems that he had memorized before.
He gave Yang Wenjing and Cheng Huiya the poetry book and recited a sentence himself. Then he asked them to read it according to the book.
“The sun sets over the mountains,” Ji Leyu said.
Cheng Huiya and Yang Wenjing read from the book, “The sun sets over the mountains.”
“The Yellow River flows into the sea.”
“The Yellow River flows into the sea.”
Suddenly, Yang Wenjing saw Lin Luoqing and immediately called out with bright eyes, “Uncle Lin.”
Lin Luoqing smiled and walked toward them. “You woke up.”
“Yes.” Yang Wenjing nodded.
“You started reciting poems when you woke up. So good.”
Yang Wenjing was still a child after all. She instantly became happy when she was praised like this. “Brother Xiao Yu said that if we memorize it well, we can recite it for our parents.”
“That’s right. Once the time comes, your parents will definitely think that you are so good. They will think you are such a cute and sensible child.”
Yang Wenjing’s eyes curved as she smiled. She suddenly remembered something and held her braids. “Uncle Lin, I took a nap and my braids fell apart when I fell asleep.”
“It’s okay. Uncle will braid it for you again,” Lin Luoqing said with a good temper.
“Yes.” Yang Wenjing nodded happily while looking at him expectantly.
Lin Luoqing asked Ji Yuxiao to wash the apples while he went into the house to get a stool.
The moment he walked in, he saw Lin Fei, Geng Shansi, and Tang Jiale sitting on the sofa and reading.
It was just that Lin Fei was sitting on the side sofa while Geng Shansi and Tang Jiale were sitting on the front sofa.
Seeing him coming in, Geng Shansi and Tang Jiale both raised their heads and looked at him.
Lin Luoqing looked at them and said with a smile, “You are reading. So good.”
Tang Jiale thought, ‘…Oh, I don’t want to be so good at all!’
“Does Shanshan want to braid your hair again?” Lin Luoqing asked Geng Shansi proactively.
Geng Shansi nodded.
“Then wait a bit.” Lin Luoqing grabbed a stool and looked at her. “Once I finish doing it for Jingjing and the others, I will do it for you.”
“Okay.” Geng Shansi’s tone was soft.
Lin Luoqing took the stool and went out. He sat behind Yang Wenjing and started to braid her hair.
Once he finished braiding Yang Wenjing’s hair, he did it again for Cheng Huiya. He also braided her newly picked flowers into it.
The two little girls touched their pigtails and were extremely happy. After being happy for a while, they continued to recite poems with Ji Leyu.
Lin Luoqing finished braiding their hair and went to braid Geng Shansi’s hair.
Tang Jiale kept looking at her braids curiously.
Geng Shansi felt embarrassed when he looked at her, so she took the initiative to enter the bedroom with Lin Luoqing and asked him to braid her hair in the bedroom.
Tang Jiale hadn’t expected her to leave so suddenly. He wished he could leave with her and asked Lin Luoqing to braid his hair. He touched his hair and thought, ‘Wu wu wu, it would be great if I had long hair. Then I can go out and braid my hair instead of reading! Why read a book?! Why do I have to keep reading?!’
Geng Shansi finished braiding her hair before going back to the living room to continue reading.
Seeing that they were all so well-behaved, Lin Luoqing didn’t bother them. He went to another room to talk to Ji Yuxiao.
After all, Yang Wenjing and Cheng Huiya were young. They finished memorizing two poems and didn’t want to continue memorizing. They looked at Ji Leyu and said they could no longer memorize it.
Ji Leyu’s mind spun quickly. “Then let’s draw together?”
He said, “I brought paper and pencils. Let’s draw together.”
“Okay.” The two little girls agreed happily.
Compared with memorizing poems, drawing was almost like playing.
Ji Leyu went back to the room and took his notebook and stationery. He returned to the living room with them, sat on the sofa, and handed out the pencils and papers one by one.
Tang Jiale was curious. “What are you doing?”
“Drawing,” Cheng Huiya answered in a clear tone.
Tang Jiale immediately said, “Then I’ll draw too!”
He no longer wanted to read!
Ji Leyu essentially just wanted them not to disturb Lin Luoqing and Ji Leyu. He didn’t really want them to study hard, so he generously gave Tang Jiale a piece of paper.
He gave everyone a pencil, picked up one himself and started drawing with them.
Netizens in the live stream room couldn’t help sighing emotionally.
[Don’t say it. Xiao Yu is quite well-prepared.]
[How can it be insufficient? There are poems, fairy tales, and now drawing!]
[Fairy tales?]
[It is what Shanshan is holding in her hand. Shanshan originally wanted to read the book that Fei Fei gave her in the morning. Xiao Yu said it didn’t look good, so he gave her a book of fairy tales instead. There are many illustrations on it. The drawings are very beautiful. Shanshan was attracted immediately.]
[Hahaha, little girls love beauty.]
[Oh my god, I never imagined that I would see a group of children studying freely on a parent-child variety show [covers face].]
[It was also the children who initiated it. The two children encouraged the remaining four children to study. Hahaha, Xiao Yu and Fei Fei are really different.]
[Chicken cubs, baby chicks, the main force of this year’s chicken babies have already become children themselves [covers face].]
[How great would it be if our children could have this awareness?]
[Maybe our family can also have a Feiyu who takes the lead in learning and leading the chicken babies. That isn’t bad!]
[I’m really envious of Shanshan, Lele, Jingjing and Xiaoya. They can study face-to-face with Feiyu and feel the learning atmosphere. It is different from my family, who can only watch the live broadcast and study with them.]
[The most terrifying thing is that after this episode ends, there won’t be a live broadcast!]
[Oh, don’t remind me of this cruel fact.]
[Please, Qing Qing. Start a live broadcast for your children. Even if it isn’t for yourself, think about it for the sake of other children!]
[Hahahaha. Qing Qing: It is a lot of pressure. This is an area I’ve never thought of!]
Lin Luoqing cut the apples, opened the curtain and took a look. He saw that the children were either reading or drawing pictures. The room was quiet and every child was very serious.
He walked in with the cut apples. “Here, eat some fruit when you are tired.”
“Okay.” Ji Leyu agreed.
“Thank you, Uncle.” Yang Wenjing said in a sweet voice.
“You’re welcome.” Lin Luoqing smiled. He walked out without disturbing them.
“Still reading?” Ji Yuxiao asked curiously.
Lin Luoqing nodded. Ji Yuxiao walked over to take a look and found that it was true.
“These children are quite studious.”
“Yes, I don’t usually see them so studious.”
“Maybe one person doesn’t have that atmosphere, but together there is that atmosphere.”
“It’s possible.” Lin Luoqing thought about his study state as a child. “When I was a child, I liked to do homework together with everyone.”
“This way, we can relax.” Ji Yuxiao reached out and hugged him.
“Yes. I thought it would be busy today, but I didn’t expect it to be much more relaxed than expected. It is thanks to Teacher Fei Fei and Teacher Xiao Yu.”
“Hahahaha, yes,” Ji Yuxiao said with a smile. “It isn’t bad for them to be teachers or principals when they grow up in the future.”
Lin Luoqing, “????”
Then you don’t know your son very well. They don’t want to be teachers or anything like that. They just want to be bosses!
Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao were free and wanted to play hopscotch, which they hadn’t finished playing at noon.
“You go first.” Ji Yuxiao picked up a stone and handed it to Lin Luoqing.
Lin Luoqing threw it into a grid. Then he raised one foot and started to jump on one foot.
He was an adult after all. It was much easier for him to play this type of game than a child.
Lin Luoqing immediately increased the difficulty. “Let’s try three stones. That will be a bit more difficult.”
“Okay,” Ji Yuxiao agreed.
He picked up two more stones and handed them to Lin Luoqing. Lin Luoqing took them and started the game again.
Netizens in the live broadcast room watched the two of them jumping around outside. In the room, Ji Leyu was still conscientiously telling Cheng Huiya how to draw this and that. In the end, he even started to help Cheng Huiya start drawing.
It was just that his drawing was too strange. Cheng Huiya looked at it and turned to find her reliable Brother Lin Fei, who accompanied her to the toilet.
Ji Leyu was dissatisfied. “Isn’t my drawing quite good?”
Lin Fei replied, “Yes.”
“Then why are you drawing!”
“Showing the diversity of things.”
Ji Leyu, “……”
The barrage laughed.
[What a great way to show the diversity of things. Fei Fei is really good at talking!]
[When it comes to fooling others, it depends on Fei Fei!]
[The main thing is that Fei Fei has a calm face, as if this is the way it really is. It is really deceptive.]
[Fei Fei is really cute. Not only does he not dislike his brother’s ugly drawing, but he is also willing to protect his brother’s self-esteem.]
[However, Fei Fei’s drawings are quite cute. Fei Fei is so aloof, but his drawings are so cute [covers face.]
[This is called a contrast cuteness. Our Fei Fei is a cute baby!]
[So the current situation is that the two fathers who should be taking care of the children are playing outside. Meanwhile, the two children who shouldn’t be taking care of children are taking care of the children in the house???]
[Hahahahaha, what? Are you not satisfied?]
[I’m not dissatisfied. I just think it is a bit funny [covers face].]
[Who made Feiyu so reliable? With Feiyu as the children-rearing assistant, their fathers no longer have to take care of the children.]
[Oh my god, so practical. I will buy it. Send it to me by express delivery tomorrow!]
[Sorry, it is a Passion exclusive. Only this one will never be sold!]
[Hahahahahaha.]
Netizens laughed happily. Tang Zhiqi and the others finally left the mountain and walked back under the guidance of the host.
“I don’t know if the children were naughty today.”
“There are six children. I think Teacher Lin and Teacher Ji would’ve really struggled.”
“In particular, our Jiale. I’m really worried he will cause trouble for Teacher Lin.”
“I don’t know if Jingjing cried or not. She loves to cry so much.”
“In addition, Xiaoya. She usually behaves well when her father and I are around. I don’t know if she will be naughty if I’m not here today.”
“Shanshan should be well-behaved. Shanshan has always been well-behaved.”
The parents were discussing it back and forth. They were worried about their children and worried they would cause trouble for Lin Luoqing.
“I hope they didn’t cause trouble for Teacher Lin.”
“I’m afraid that after we enter the door, Teacher Lin will have three or four hanging on him, saying that we are back!”
“Hahaha. There are six children and they are all so young. It is really worrying.”
“It is true. If one child cries, a row of children will start crying together! That scene… it really gives me a headache when thinking about it.”
“Fortunately, I’m not the one taking care of the children today or I definitely wouldn’t be able to comfort them. Teacher Lin is different. Teacher Lin is a good educator!”
“However, Teacher Lin is used to taking care of his own well-behaved children. Suddenly, he encounters one of ours that isn’t well-behaved. Will he be even more at a loss?”
Ah, this…. everyone suddenly became worried. Lin Fei and Ji Leyu were so good that they didn’t need to be taken care of, unlike their little monkeys who were so naughty.
“Why don’t we cook more of Teacher Lin and Teacher Ji’s favorite dishes tonight? They have worked hard, so we can compensate them a bit.”
“Yes.”
Everyone talked while walking nervously toward Lin Luoqing’s house. They were afraid they would hear crying even before they arrived at the door of Lin Luoqing’s house.
As a result, the moment they opened the gate, they saw Lin Luoqing jumping up and down on one leg with a smile on his face.
Everyone, “???”
Lin Luoqing saw them and said happily, “You are back.”
Everyone, “???”
No, Teacher Lin, shouldn’t you be raising the children at this time? Where are the children?
[Hahahaha, look at their expressions. I’m laughing so hard.]
[Their faces have the words written all over it: Where are the children? Where are the children? Teacher Lin, why don’t you have the children by your side?]
[I’m laughing to death. On the way back, they were saying that Qing Qing and Chairman Ji must have it very hard. They said they wanted to do something good and treat Qing Qing and Chairman Ji.]
[They also imagined that when they opened the gate, Qing Qing would have several children hanging from his body and looking sad.]
[They were still afraid they would hear crying before even reaching the gate.]
[In the end, Qing Qing was happily playing hopscotch. Hahaha.]
[He is smiling and even more relaxed than usual.]
[That’s right. After all, he isn’t the one looking after the children [amused].]
‘So what about the children?’ The parents wondered.
“Teacher Lin, thank you for your hard work.” Tang Zhiqi was the first to speak as he walked toward Lin Luoqing.
“It isn’t hard,” Lin Luoqing said with a smile. “Your children are all in the house and reading. You can go in. They are reading seriously.”
The parents, “????!!!!”
What were their children doing? Reading books??!!
Tang Zhiqi was shocked. “You mean my son?”
Cheng Huiya’s mother was also surprised. “My daughter as well?!”
“And Jingjing?!”
Lin Luoqing nodded. “But three of them have changed to drawing now. They are still drawing.”
The parents thought, ‘…Is this really our lawless and restless child?’
Teacher Lin didn’t secretly change the children while they were away, right?
“Let’s go.” Lin Luoqing took the initiative to say. “I’ll take you in to find them.’
“No hurry, no hurry,” Tang Zhiqi hurriedly stopped him.
If they were drawing, then there was no hurry.
“It is rare for our little monkeys to be quiet. How can we disturb our children while they are creating? Let them continue drawing and pretend that we aren’t back.”
“That’s right. We can’t disturb the children studying!”
“Leave the satisfaction of knowledge to the child and the emptiness of playing to ourselves. Teacher Lin, what are you playing? I’ll play with you.” Yang Wenjing’s mother immediately pulled her husband over.
