Spring was warm and harmonious as the Su Teng Village busied themselves in the distant fields. Each spring, every family would plant high-yield potatoes and sweet potatoes.

During the busy farming season, the employees from the factories in and around Su Teng Village would be on vacation. After all, they needed time to farm.

Everyone smiled as they worked in the fields. Some would even gather and discuss the changes in Su Teng Village during their break. The villagers had endless things to say about their home.

They had also fully utilized the empty land around Su Teng Village over the past few years. Su Binglan even opened a few more factories as more people moved to Tenghe Town.

The village was lively each day, with children playing on the streets. Instead of letting their children sleep at home, the parents would encourage their children to go out and play.

Children also had two days off from school each week, and they would play together during their break.

The children of the Su family often gathered in Su Binglan’s small courtyard to play with their siblings and cousins during the weekends. Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an’s twins were already three years old at that time.

Not only were they good-looking, but they were also knowledgeable.

Su Binglan would cook delicious food for everyone whenever they visited. That day, she went to the kitchen to make cupcakes because the children loved them. Even so, she knew not to feed them too many sweets.

When she finished making the cupcakes and went to the courtyard, she realized that her son and daughter were not there. “Huh, where are Yaoyao and Lele?”

Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an had nicknamed their twins Yaoyao and Lele. They were clamoring for something to eat that afternoon.

“Xuexuan, Xuehai, and the others were here just now. Did Jin’an bring them elsewhere to play?” Su Binglan muttered in puzzlement.

Just then, Luo Jin’an appeared and smiled, saying, “The little crown prince is here. Yaoyao and Lele went to play with him.”

Su Binglan became wide-eyed. “You mean Chengtai is here? Did Ruozhu send him here again?”

Lan Ruozhu and Xie Wanzhi had named their son Lan Chengtai, but most people addressed the little guy as Crown Prince. Nonetheless, Lan Ruozhu often sent his son to Su Teng Village to play with his cousins.

“Ruozhu usually tells me that he’s sending Chengtai over. I guess he stopped doing that, huh?” Su Binglan palmed her forehead.

Luo Jin’an said, “It seems Chengtai must enjoy playing with his cousins that much. I guess Ruozhu also wants him to have a proper childhood and learn more from his cousins. I think Chengtai will grow up to be an excellent emperor.”

Su Binglan smiled. “He’s only three, you know. Ruozhu’s too strict with him.”

“Really? I think Chengtao is too quiet,” Luo Jin’an said, “It’s good that his cousins often play with him. It brings out Chengtai’s smile.”

Su Binglan said, “It’s a good thing I made extra cupcakes. Since Chengtai is here, he can eat them with his cousins.”

Meanwhile, in the front yard, Wei Le took Lan Chengtai’s hand and said softly, “My mother made cupcakes, Chengtai. Let’s go inside to eat.”

Wei Yao added, “After we eat, I’ll show you the toys Father made.”

Lan Chengtai said, “But I’m here to learn martial arts from Uncle Jin’an.”

Although he was only three, he knew he had to learn a lot as the crown prince. Lan Ruozhu had also told him to go to Su Teng Village to learn from his aunt and uncle.
