When the bell rang, the children ran out.

As soon as Xiaoqi ran out with his small bag, he saw Ling Sheng and Su Yan. “Mommy, Great Aunt.”

Su Yan smiled and rubbed the child’s face. Oh my, he was getting cuter and cuter. One could not help but want to pinch him. “Was your class fun?”

In her opinion, the child did not have to go to an extracurricular class so early. Xiaoqi was only three years old. He would have to be at least five years old before he could think about taking an extracurricular class.

Xiaoqi nodded excitedly. “It was fun. Xiaoqi likes it.”

Grandpa had said that when he scored a grade nine in drumming, he would give him the drum kit in his studio. It was really cool.

“Where does Xiaoqi want to eat lunch? I’ll take you there, alright?” Su Yan could not have children, but when she saw Xiaoqi, she could not help but want to have a baby.

“Xiaoqi can eat anything.” Xiaoqi was obedient, and his big eyes were sparkling. “Mommy, are we going out to have fun?”

Ling Sheng nodded. “Yes, your great aunt wants to take you out to eat and shop.”

Xiaoqi was overjoyed. He had initially thought that even though his mother was back, she would not have time to play with him. He had not expected his mother to take him out to have fun.

In the afternoon, they ate the roasted meat Xiaoqi wanted and they bought gifts at the mall. Ling Sheng could not go to the Su Family empty-handed, so she bought a set of clothes for the old folks at home.

Su Yan said that on Saturday, a few children from the Su Family had been sent home for the weekend. Besides Su Chi, who had said that he’d gone to participate in the club’s reconstruction, the two sons of her eldest cousin Su Simian—Su Ce and Su Shi—as well as Su Jing and Su Nuo, the twin sons of Uncle Su Chan, were also at home.

Ling Sheng bought toys and snacks for the children.

When Xiaoqi heard that he would be able to see his brothers and uncles, who had played with him last time, he was overjoyed. He was so excited that he did not sleep the whole way.

Su Yan had already informed her family in advance. There were not many elders at home. Only the eldest, Su Cunshi, was at home. The rest were out, busy with work.

Amongst the younger generation, only Ling Sheng’s eldest uncle, Su Heng, and his wife, Ye Chuqing, were around. They were mainly there to take care of the elderly and the children. The servants at home were good, but they couldn’t feel at ease just leaving them to the servants.

When Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi arrived, the Su Family was obviously overjoyed. The Old Master dragged her over to talk, and the whole family ate and chatted.

Xiaoqi was even happier. Before long, he was taken out to play by Su Jing and the other children. The Su Family was big, and they could play everywhere. Ye Chuqing ordered the servants to follow them and watch them before letting the children go.

The children, especially the boys, seemed to go crazy when they left the house. They were overjoyed, and their shouts could be heard even in the house.

The Lunar New Year was approaching, so there was no lack of fireworks and firecrackers. Su Jing and Su Nuo watched over their three nephews. They fried fish in the water using firecrackers and caught sparrows in the snow. They had a great time playing, and their foreheads were soon covered in sweat.

Xiaoqi was the most excited as he followed his brothers and uncles around on his short legs. He was very energetic.

When Ling Sheng went over to take a look, a few of the brats were catching sparrows. It was a snowy day, so they scattered grains on the ground and propped up a sieve. When a sparrow walked in, they tugged at the rope and caught it.

There were a few sparrows and two wild turtle doves in the cage. They were trembling as they looked at the devilish boys.

The little demons did not notice her approach. They were whispering around the trembling birds, discussing how to deal with them.
