Zhang Jiaming chuckled and took a sip of hot tea.

No matter how well-behaved kids are, there's a limit to it.

At the very least, for little Xiaobao's eating, drinking, and other needs, you have to pay attention to it all the time.

Not to mention, Mo Jingchun is still in school.

To be able to manage school and take care of the little one so well is quite an achievement.

Judging from the changes in Mo Jingchun's skin, you can tell the little one has been a handful for him.

"Is the winter in Jing City colder than here?"

Mo Jingchun nodded in agreement while holding his sister, "Definitely, it's especially cold outside, and really dry too."

"It's much better indoors, with heating, it's nice and warm."

"When it's particularly cold, I hardly take my sister outside except for classes."

Zhang Jiaming's eyes showed a longing for life in the big city, especially the Capital.

"Big cities are better, more convenient to live in. If you have the capability in the future, stay in Jing City with your sister, try to buy another house, and marry a pretty city girl."

"Uncle, I'm still young, only 18, there's no rush."

"I'll think about it after I graduate from university."

Zhang Jiaming glanced at the little one cheerfully playing with the rattle in Mo Jingchun's arms, silently agreeing with Mo Jingchun's words.

Indeed, there's no hurry, with a young kid like that with Mo Jingchun, finding a good wife will be tough!

"Alright, I'm off, after this trip, I have to go up the mountain several more times."

A seemingly weightless withered tree, carried effortlessly by Zhang Jiaming on his shoulders, he slowly walked away along the cement path in front of the door, eventually disappearing at the bend by the river.

After Zhang Jiaming left, Mo Jingchun played with his sister Candy for a while, then put her in the stroller.

Mo Jingchun realized the stroller seemed a bit small.

When there's time, they need to get a better, more comfortable one, it's not like they can't afford it.

Mo Jingchun poured the hot water boiled with firewood in the large iron pot into the wooden bathtub, adding cold water to make it warm.

Pieces of the little one's clothes soaked in the water, Mo Jingchun grabbed a small wooden stool, sat by the tub, and patiently scrubbed the dirty clothes Candy had taken off.

After one washing, rinse off the leftover soap with cold water.

At home, they hadn't bought a clothesline, only a simple bamboo rod perched between two tree branches as a makeshift line.

Unlike at school, back home, Mo Jingchun always found never-ending tasks to do, not a moment's rest.

Finally getting all the little one's clothes hung out, the sun had already set, and it was getting darker.

Finishing dinner early, Mo Jingchun was in the room holding his sister writing code, Candy nestled in his lap, bored and biting her fingers.

On the computer, Mo Jingchun typed lines of code quickly, occasionally making typos due to the speed.

Fortunately, the development tools offered intelligent alerts for warnings or errors, allowing timely corrections.

Just as Mo Jingchun was engrossed in coding, he faintly heard someone calling him from far away.

Mo Jingchun paused his typing, listened carefully, and indeed, someone was calling him.

He got up and opened the window, the voice instantly became clear.

"Xiaochun."

"Xiaochun."

"Yeah~" Mo Jingchun responded promptly, recognizing who was calling.

Aunt Wang, who lived by the roadside.

The Mo Family neighborhood's top intelligence expert Aunt Wang.

Within the five-mile radius, there wasn't news she didn't know.

"Come down with your sister to the fire, a lot of people here, quite lively."

Mo Jingchun glanced at the notebook computer still on the development tool page, hesitated a bit, and said to the unseen Aunt Wang, "Coming, coming."

If he didn't go, Mo Jingchun seriously suspected he'd be the topic of Aunt Wang's conversation tonight.

In fact, Mo Jingchun didn't know that the group started talking about him taking his sister to school, prompting Aunt Wang to remember he was back and call him down to the fire.

"Called him, called him, Xiaochun will be here soon."

"I told you, and you didn't believe me, Xiaochun is better at taking care of kids than us, that little baby is so adorable."

"Xiaochun is a student at Jing University, very accomplished, heard he earned tens of thousands while studying with his sister."

"Too bad for Zhou Wan, they didn't get to enjoy the fortune. But they have a daughter, full of blessings, with Xiaochun as a brother, they'll never lack for anything."

"Don't forget, when Xiaochun comes, we can't speak too much about this."

Watching everyone excitedly chatting, Wang Suzhen quickly reminded.

"No worries, in front of others, we won't say anything."

"Oh, if my son were a tenth as excellent as Xiaochun, that'd be great. He never calls, and when he does, it's usually because he's out of money."

Everyone nodding, snacking on seeds, responded: "Same here."

"My son's monthly allowance is 2000, and sometimes that's not enough."

In the room, Mo Jingchun turned off the air conditioner, turned on the porch light, locked the main door, and headed out with his sister's eyes peeking out.

"Xiaochun's here, come and sit."

Mo Jingchun pushed open the door and saw a circle of people already gathered around the stove, even Grandpa Mo Changyou was there.

He greeted each senior before sitting down.

"Oh dear, long time no see, let me see Xiaobao."

Candy was taken by the second sister-in-law, looking at the adorable Xiaobao, she clicked her tongue in amazement.

Candy, seeing such a scene for the first time, was bewildered, slightly scared of the enthusiastic sisters and aunts.

Soon, she pouted and started to cry, kicking her legs.

"Wah-woo!"

"A little shy, huh."

"Perhaps a bit," Mo Jingchun didn't refute, just tenderly held his sister Candy, patting her back to comfort her.

Soon, back in a familiar scent, the little one stopped crying, clinging tightly to Mo Jingchun's clothes, looking at the laughing crowd with a bit of fear in her eyes.

"Xiaochun sure knows how to handle kids, just a little coaxing and Xiaobao stopped crying."

Mo Jingchun looked at the little cutie in his arms, unable to hide the love for her in his eyes.

Mo Jingchun smiled at the second sister-in-law and said, "She's quite well-behaved."

At that moment, Mo Changyou used the tongs to pass a roasted sweet potato to Mo Jingchun.

"Eat this, it's still warm."

Mo Jingchun couldn't resist the delicious aroma of the roasted sweet potato.

As he peeled it, the little one gulped and reached out, wanting to grab it from Mo Jingchun, who quickly pulled her small hand back, not daring to let Candy eat the sweet potato.

"Oh look, the little one wants to eat the sweet potato."

Poor Candy could only watch longingly as her brother took a big bite of the sweet potato.
