“Happy birthday, babies.
Blow out the candles."
The four children sitting on both sides of the table puffed up their cheeks and blew out the big cake on the table together.
Old Zhou looked at his four great-grandchildren with a smile and deliberately asked, "Xiao Yueyue, can you tell Grandpa how old you are this year?"
Zhou Zeyue raised his left hand, with his thumb and pinky fingers bent and the three in the middle raised. "Grandpa, my brothers and I are three years old this year."
After saying this, she raised her bent little finger again and said, "My age is four."
Seeing this scene, Wu Yunshang was surprised and said, "Oh my, our little Yueyue can count now?"
Wu Zekai, who was sitting next to him, puffed out his chest proudly and said, "Not only Yueyue can do it, we all can do it.
Grandma, my brothers, sisters and I can all count from 1 to 100, and we can also do addition and subtraction."
"The children were not even three years old before, and you, Xiaoxue and Mingxuan, have already taught them these things?" Zhou Yunting was surprised.
"Isn't this a little too early?"
If we force children too much, they may develop an aversion to studying and dislike studying in the future, which is not good.
Liu Jingxue explained, "Don't worry, Dad, we didn't force them to learn, they took the initiative to ask to learn.
There are many children, and they eat at different speeds, so I always feel that others eat more and I eat less.
We had a lot of arguments because of this, and I had to judge the lawsuits for them all the time, which was so annoying.
There was no other way, so I just taught them to count.
Before distributing things each time, let them count how many pills there are and divide them into four parts to determine how many pills each person should get.
This way, there will be less trouble.”
Today is the great-grandchildren’s birthday. Zhou Mingxuan drove to the courtyard to pick up Mr. Wu and come over to celebrate the children’s birthday.
He echoed Liu Jingxue's words, "Don't tell me, Xiaoxue's method is really good.
Ever since they learned to count, we don’t have to help them distribute food; they can do it themselves.
We don’t have to be referees every day anymore.”
“What if the things are not evenly divided into four parts?
This situation should be very likely to happen." Mr. Zhou asked curiously.
"That's very simple," Mr. Wu spread his hands, "In the end, the only thing that can't be divided is Xiaoxue and me.
Xiaoxue said that they should not let them think that all the delicious food belongs to them and that other people in the family have nothing to eat.
Over time, they will take it for granted and stop respecting their elders."
Mr. Wu praised proudly, "You know what, this method is really good.
Now before they divide things, they always leave some for the rest of the family, and only the brothers and sisters get the rest."
While they were talking, some of the younger ones had already instructed Zhou Mingxuan to cut the cake.
"This one belongs to my great-grandfather," Zhou Zehan said, pointing to the first piece of cake.
Liu Zeyi then spoke up, "This belongs to my great-grandfather."
Next, the children gave a piece of cake to their grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, Aunt Zhang, and even their godfather Zhao Junhao who was not present.
"The rest are ours." Zhou Zeyue looked at the cake that was still almost half left after it was divided, his face full of surprise.
When Zhou Mingxuan was about to divide the cake into four pieces, he was stopped by Zhou Zehan.
"Dad, wait a moment, let's cut everything first."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Mingxuan looked suspicious.
"Dad, there are so many cakes. If we divide them into four pieces, we won't be able to finish them all at once.
"Mom said we can't eat too many snacks and need to eat more meals to grow taller and stronger," Liu Zeyi explained on behalf of his eldest brother.
Zhou Zeyue nodded, "Second brother is right.
Dad, you can’t divide our cake into four pieces, you have to divide it into eight pieces.”
Zhou Zeyue raised both of her little hands and stretched out eight fingers.
"We each have two servings. We eat one first and leave the other for the afternoon nap."
The other three brothers all agreed with their little sister, "Yes, Dad, we should divide it into eight parts."
Zhou Mingxuan smiled and said, "Okay, Dad will divide it into eight parts for you."
"Dad, divide it evenly and make sure each portion is the same size," Wu Zekai reminded.
"Don't worry, your dad's eyes are like a ruler, and they will definitely be the same size."
"Oh, how come our little grandson is so well behaved? He even knew to divide it into eight portions, two for each person, and leave one for the afternoon."
Wu Yunshang couldn't help but hugged the third brother Wu Zekai and the fourth brother Zeyue who were standing in front of her and kissed them each.
On the other side, Mr. Zhou also touched Zhou Zehan and Liu Zeyi's heads in appreciation, "The children are all very good.
Xiaoxue, you have taught the children very well."
Liu Jingxue modestly said, "This is not just my achievement. Grandpa takes care of them most of the time during the day.
When Mingxuan and Brother Zhao are at home, they usually take care of the children."
Hearing Liu Jingxue mention Zhao Junhao, Zhou Zehan hurriedly asked Zhou Mingxuan, "Dad, where is our godfather?
Today is our birthday, why doesn't he come to celebrate it with us?"
"Yes, Dad, where is Godfather?
He said he would give me a big birthday present on my birthday." Zhou Zeyue stretched out her small hand, circled it, and made a big gesture.
While distributing cakes to the children, Zhou Mingxuan replied, "Your godfather is busy finding you a godmother now.
But don't worry, he will come over when he finishes his work.
You won’t be short of birthday gifts either.”
Ever since Zhou Mingxuan got married and had three sons and one daughter, Zhao's mother, who had been urging Zhao Junhao to find a partner, became even more anxious.
But unfortunately, the person is usually nowhere to be seen, so I can only call him to urge him.
We finally arranged a blind date while the first month of the lunar year was still here and everyone was resting at home.
It is said that Zhao Junhao came to them in the evening to complain about his mother.
“I feel like my mom is crazy, arranging several blind dates for me in one day.
Sometimes the next family arrives before the previous one leaves.
When the two girls met, it felt like a Shura field."
Not only did this fail to arouse the sympathy of Zhou Mingxuan and Liu Jingxue, but it made them burst into laughter.
"I remember Junhao and Mingxuan are the same age. They're 28 this year, right? They're still not married. No wonder his mom is worried.
Especially since he's with Mingxuan, and you already have four three-year-old children, your Aunt Zhao must be even more anxious." Wu Yunshang sighed.
"What is Junhao thinking? Do you want to find a partner?
If he doesn't want to, it's useless for his mother to be anxious."
"Of course I don't want to find one, I just haven't met the right one yet," Zhou Mingxuan replied.
Wu Yunshang obviously disagreed with this, "You guys are always out and about, so you must know a lot of people, and there are always young lesbians. Why haven't you met the right one?
Junhao must not be looking for one, or he has high standards."
Seeing that each child had eaten his own piece of cake, Zhou Mingxuan didn't even take the spoon. He took a bite of his own cake and then took the time to answer.
"Haozi's vision will definitely improve with Xiaoxue as a role model and frequent interactions with her.
As for the lesbians I met in business, there were also some single young ones.
But since they are doing business, they are all smart and have as many tricks as a sieve.
When you're out doing business, you have to be cunning, but when you get home, you want to relax. Who wants to find a wife who's full of cunning? That would be exhausting."
"It can't always be like this. Doing business isn't just about playing tricks." Wu Yunshang was a little skeptical.
Zhou Mingxuan nodded, "Maybe there will be, but they are definitely a minority.
Moreover, everyone you meet in the business world has a lot of business acumen. Even if they agree to date you, their motives may not be pure.
How could Haozi look down upon such a person? "
Wu Yunshang sighed upon hearing this, “Fortunately, you and Xiaoxue met when you went to the countryside.
If you really wait until this time to find a partner, I'm worried that you'll be single for the rest of your life."
Zhou Mingxuan looked proud, "I am so lucky to have found such a good wife.
You don’t know how many people envy and hate me.”
