s to use as you please. You have a personal grudge against Old Mrs. He, fine. You can deal with it using your own abilities, but I forbid you from using family power or harming the family's interests....The two little ones immediately cheered, stomping their tiny legs and circling her, but they didn't dare touch her. Their eyes, just like their father's, were fixed on her belly. Even Rong Mama showed unusual excitement, repeatedly muttering that Lin Meng should rest well and avoid strenuous activity. Because it was the pregnancy preparation stage, Rong Mama also strongly anticipated the arrival of a grandson or granddaughter, so she didn't return to j city and stayed here, waiting for good news from Lin Meng.

Later, Rong Ling, who had been staring at her belly this whole time, suddenly became righteous and imposing. He ordered the two little ones not to stare at her belly anymore, and forbade their mother from nagging anymore, claiming it was to—avoid putting pressure on her and adding psychological burden.

This man, who started it all, suddenly acted so serious later on. It's really amusing. Lin Meng almost laughed out loud, but she managed to hold back. As for Youyou, Haohuo, and Mom Rong, they actually listened to Rong Ling and pretended to be normal again.

After that, the familiar feeling of fatigue struck Lin Meng, and she also had a slight feeling of nausea. Lin Meng figured this pregnancy thing must be 100% certain.

More than two months later, Rong Ling invited the old Chinese medicine doctor from their local hospital to check Lin Meng's pulse. The good news about her well-being made everyone in the family very happy. The old Chinese medicine doctor said that they should come back for another checkup in a month to confirm whether she was carrying twins, which further excited the whole family.

Are you really having twins!

Lin Meng felt a bit unbelievable, but she couldn't help but be overjoyed. What good luck! She was having twins!

She tilted her head to look at her own man, seeing that his eyes were particularly bright, as if they would glow. Thinking about it, he must be extremely happy too.

Two smaller ones were even more excited than anyone else. Usually, the two younger ones would put on a calm and composed act in front of outsiders, but this time they couldn't help but ask childishly.

"Doctor Li, is my mommy really having twins"

The old Chinese medicine doctor smiled and replied, "In my experience, it should be about 80% to 90%. After three months, we can be 100% sure. The baby is still too young now."

Xiao Hao immediately said happily, "That should be twins!"

"But the next sentence was said with certainty. 'It's twins, it has to be twins, a little brother and a little sister, hehe, it must be twins, I knew it would be like this.'"

Little Youyou eagerly looked at the old Chinese doctor.

The old Chinese doctor found the two children adorable and jokingly said, "That's possible too."

However, adhering to the spirit of a physician, I still cautiously added, "Specifically, let's wait until after these first three months."

The first three months are the early pregnancy period, the fetus is unstable in the belly, and it is very easy to miscarry. At this time, it is also not advisable to be too busy. Especially Lin Meng's belly is really pregnant with twins, then we must be extra careful.

After the old Chinese doctor had given some instructions, he left.

Two small figures circled Lin Meng, their excitement still uncontainable.

Although Rong Ling was initially very happy, when she thought about being pregnant with twins and how big her belly would get, and the hardships of motherhood to come, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for herself.

"You two stop arguing, let your mommy rest." He frowned and instructed the two little ones.

Two little heads nodded like pounding garlic. They didn't need him to tell them, they would naturally be extra careful.

Soon, there were two nannies in the house. Lin Meng said she didn't need them; she had given birth before and felt capable of taking care of herself. Besides, this time she had so many people around her: a loving husband, two little ones, her mother-in-law, and even her aunt and uncle. With so many people, there was absolutely no need to hire any nannies.

However, Rong Ling insisted on it.

They are professionally trained, unlike those who aren't. Since you're having twins, it's best to have professionals by your side for care. Our family has enough money; everything should prioritize you and the children in your belly.

It's clear that he takes this pregnancy very seriously, and perhaps a little nervously. It's probably all the nervousness he didn't get to express during her previous pregnancies, bottled up and being expressed now.

Knowing he meant well, Lin Meng conceded. However, she also successfully persuaded Rong Ling to keep only one confinement nanny. Two really were too many. To be honest, Lin Meng didn't particularly like having unnecessary people in her house, and she was more accustomed to doing things herself when needed.

"Doing some housework appropriately and a little exercise can make both the pregnant woman and the fetus healthier. So Rong Ling, I'm pregnant, doesn't mean I just eat, drink, and sleep like a pig all day long, hehe..."

Hearing this, Rong Ling had his secretary buy him books and videos about pregnancy that same day. Whenever he had free time, he would watch videos and read books to show that even though he wasn't as experienced as the expectant mother, he was taking his role as a soon-to-be father seriously and learning diligently. He also believed he would surpass her in knowledge very soon.

Lin Meng watched Rong Ling patiently holding the book by American Silas, a book almost half her head thick, and couldn't help but smile. Pregnancy was no longer her own affair. This time, her pregnancy had made the whole family feel different.

The renovation was being carried out quietly, without disturbing her. After all, once the babies arrived, things like sharp corners in the house could potentially harm them, so some adjustments needed to be made. The two little ones were also following in their father's footsteps, either engrossed in books or watching videos with rapt attention. As for Grandma, she, along with Yu Ma and Zhou Shu (the midwife), often got together to discuss what delicious meals they could make for Lin Meng.

When she was about three months pregnant, Lin Meng's morning sickness suddenly became severe. Just like her first pregnancy, she vomited whatever she ate. Mom Rong and the others tried their best to make things easy for her to digest, but she still couldn't stop vomiting. In the end, it seemed like she even vomited bile.

Two little ones were looking tearful, Rong Ling was also anxious and flustered, his eyes full of bloodshot. Watching her small chin that had been patched up gradually become pointed and thin, he felt a pang of heartache, drawing in a sharp breath.

The confinement nanny said that morning sickness is related to individual physique, and most people experience it. This symptom of morning sickness will get better after a while, so don't worry too much. But this person vomits outside every day, feeling like they vomit more than they eat. How can we rest assured!

Rong Ling decided to skip work and stayed home with Lin Meng, trying every trick in the book to coax her into eating. No matter what, he encouraged her to eat as much as she could. Sometimes, watching Lin Meng vomit until tears streamed down her face, yet still swallowing food with red-rimmed eyes, his heart ached. He wished he had the ability to take the child's place for her. After she finished eating, he inevitably held her in his arms, showering her with affectionate endearments and comforting words with all his tenderness.

Rong Ling had kept Lin Meng and the two little ones hidden for so long, but on this hundred-day banquet, she officially introduced them to everyone. For a time, many people attended. However, while there was a lot of commotion on the first floor, the second floor still maintained its usual quietness. The children were too young to handle such a noisy atmosphere.

The ladies were naturally led by Zhen Cao and others to visit Lin Meng's family. Lin Meng had just finished her confinement period, and her figure was restored to about seven or eight points. And because of breastfeeding, she gained even more charm. It was the unique charm of being a mother, which aroused much envy from others. Moreover, since she gave birth easily, giving birth to two children without any pain, it made everyone even more envious.

When we chatted, the conversation inevitably turned to pregnancy, childbirth, and raising children. It turned out that Lin Meng hadn't developed any stretch marks, which made those who had given birth envious and those who hadn't surprisingly amazed. Everyone who has experienced or is about to experience this milestone wants to find out more about it.

“Actually, it's more about individual physique than length. My physique is probably not prone to stretch marks. When I gave birth to Youyou, I didn't have any. However, prevention is also important. When Youyou was born, I applied olive oil to my belly. For these two births, Rongling had someone prepare a potion for me, which is similar in nature to olive oil and vitamin E…”

The women listened with interest, and some who had given birth couldn't help but share their own insights and experiences. When women get together, there are naturally endless topics to talk about.

After a while, the two little ones woke up, and everyone was very interested in them. They had grown quite a bit in their 100 days. Little Chenchen learned everything quickly and could now roll over. Little Xixixi seemed a bit lazy, learning things slowly, and she didn't move around as much as her brother.

As soon as Xiao Chenchen woke up, he was amazing! He babbled and gurgled, definitely declaring his presence. Many people crowded around him, but he wasn't afraid. His dark eyes darted back and forth, looking at everyone, sometimes blinking. This made the adults absolutely smitten.

Lin Meng asked Zhou Sao to take Xiao Chenchen to change his diaper first. Two months later, the two toddlers seemed a bit more sensible. Like Xiao Youyou before them, when they needed to urinate, they would "hmm" and kick their legs. When they needed to defecate, besides the abovementioned behavior, their faces would also slightly flush red. Zhou Sao said with a smile that these two children were really clever. She had brought up many children, but she had never met such easygoing ones. Lin Meng was also happy to hear this. According to this pattern, it couldn't be said that the two toddlers would completely stop wetting themselves, but they could prevent seven or eight incidents, which would certainly save the adults a lot of worry.

"When will my little sister wake up" someone asked softly.

The little sister is just lazy, she basically goes to sleep earlier than her brother and wakes up later. However, whether or not she's awake doesn't really concern Lin Meng and the others anymore because it's mostly Xiaochengchen's responsibility now.

Lin Meng gestured for everyone to look closely.

Everyone saw that after Xiao Chenchen was carried back, he babbled and acted like he wanted to go to bed. When Zhou Sao put Xiao Chenchen on the bed, a short distance from Xiaoxi, Xiao Chenchen "ahhh ahh" waved his hands and feet, sprawled out on all fours and had a good laugh.

"This is just a warm-up!" Lin Meng explained with a smile.

Then Xiao Chenchen put down his hands and feet, turned his head to the side, stared at Xiao Xiuxi, lifted his left leg, and crossed it over his right. Because of this, his entire body's center of gravity shifted slightly to the right. Then he used his hands to push himself up with all his might, and kicked his legs hard. His face was slightly flushed as he exerted himself. With one final effort, Xiao Chenchen flipped over neatly.

The women watching, silently cheering him on, couldn't help but let out approving laughter.

And that's not all!

After Xiaochengcheng successfully rolled over, he became in a position where his hands and feet were on the ground, with his back facing the sky. He lifted his head, looked again, then aimed at Xiaoxixixi's location, “Ahh” calling out excitedly. Seeing Xiaoxixixi remained motionless, he propped himself up with his hands and tried to lift his head higher, calling even louder. Xiaoxixixi frowned and still looked sleepy and unwilling to wake up. Xiaochengcheng became a little impatient, after two calls, probably because his neck was tired, his head drooped down all at once, and he lay motionless on the bed.

Someone reached out anxiously to hug the child, fearing that they might be hurt, but Lin Meng stopped them.

Everyone knows there should be a sequel!

Just then, Xiao Chenchen was lying on his stomach for a while. Suddenly, his little butt went up high, and then his two white radish-like legs started kicking hard. His ten chubby toes were even working hard to push against the bed underneath.

"Hmm!"

Little Chenchen let out a muffled sound from his mouth, and he didn't lift his head. Everyone could see his flushed ears and slightly red face, and they also saw Little Chenchen using his legs to kick forward with all his might. At this time, the child probably wouldn't be able to crawl yet. What we were seeing at this time, the so-called "crawling," was more like a bouncing motion on his feet. He used the strength of his legs to jump forward suddenly.

Xiaochengcheng ran over two times and got to Xiaoxix's side. At this time, his head was sweating a lot. He suddenly seemed to lose his strength, letting go of his hands and feet, and lying on the bed motionless. After resting for a while, he moved again. He still used his legs and feet to exert force, and his head forcefully arched forward, but this time, there was an obstacle in front of him - Xiaoxix. Xiaoxix had been sleeping soundly when suddenly her forehead was being nudged back and forth by a head. Even if she didn't want to wake up, she couldn't help but wake up. She felt very bad about being woken up this way. Her lips pursed, her face wrinkled, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. But even like this, she was still unwilling to open her eyes, as if hoping that someone would see her crying and take this annoying guy away from her side.

But no!

That head of his, it just wouldn't stop. It kept nudging him relentlessly, accompanied by insistent little whimpers.

Xiaoxi finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.

Someone else quickly reached out to hug her, but Lin Meng stopped them.

Just then, Xiaoxix cried a few times. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she opened her eyes. Her breathtakingly black and bright eyes still had clear tear stains on them, yet when she saw so many people, she smiled instantly.

"Haha..."

Her laughter was especially crisp, like that of a little baby.

When she smiled like that, who could resist! With tears in her eyes, looking so pitiful and endearing, begging you to hold her...who could possibly bear to refuse

Suddenly, many hands reached out.

Xiaoxi is still wearing tears, giggling there, her little appearance is as alluring as a little angel. But if anyone falls for it and hugs her, just wait for her to cry loudly! She'll immediately transform into a little witch!

Lin Meng took a step forward and scooped her up, his laughter tinged with reprimand.

"Just laugh, laugh, don't want to be held by others, and still smile so temptingly!"

He said, kissing her hard and explaining briefly to the crowd. Those who had heard about it understood. But those who were itching to hold her wouldn't believe it and just kept trying to embrace her, setting themselves up for rejection.

Lin Meng felt that there were quite a few people who had this kind of thought. It seemed that she couldn't let them experience it firsthand, so she agreed to one person. Xiaoxiao was laughing happily in Lin Meng's arms, but when she was put into someone else's arms, she immediately started crying, leaving the other person quite embarrassed. Lin Meng asked Zhou Sao, who usually took care of the child, to take her. Xiaoxiao was still like that. When she returned to Lin Meng's arms, she gradually stopped crying and giggled at everyone. It was the same woman who had just held her who came up to her. Xiaoxiao still giggled, not showing any dislike whatsoever.

This is just recognizing people!

"What a darling!" the lady exclaimed, her heart aching with affection. Unable to resist, she pulled a jade bracelet off her own arm and held it out to Little Xi Xi, playing with it in her hand.

"Come on, grab it if you can! Go for it!"

Xiaoxi immediately "ah ah ah" reached out her hand to grab.

Lin Meng slightly leaned to the side, avoiding Xiao XiXi's touch, and smiled politely as she declined the lady's request.

“The child is still young, they won't play this. We're here today just to see the child, don't go back and forth with giving presents!”

The woman smiled, then put the bracelet back on her wrist. Those who didn't have anything suitable to offer also let out a sigh of relief.

Lin Meng put Xiao Xi Xi back into bed and placed Xiao Chen Chen next to her. Then, they all took the rattles, tambourines, and small toys that had been put aside earlier and played with them.

Xiaoxi is a cheerful girl who loves to laugh. Everyone finds her laughter contagious and endearing.

Little Chenchen loves to play pretend. When everyone teases him, he lies in bed and starts moving his arms and legs. He makes noises like “Ah ah ah” as if he’s trying hard to jump up and play with everyone.

Both children radiated intelligence and charm, causing everyone to look to Lin Meng and ask for advice on how she raised them so well. Lin Meng was open and honest in her answers.

As the banquet was about to begin, Rong Ling came over personally to lead Lin Meng and her children down. The couple each held one child, with Rong Ling holding Xiao Chenchen and Lin Meng holding Xiao Xi Xi. Downstairs, Xiao Chenchen's vivaciousness attracted many embraces. Xiao Chenchen wasn't shy at all; he was happy to be held by anyone and played happily on anyone's lap. Xiao Xi Xi, however, was different. She nestled in her mother's arms, as aloof and elegant as a lotus flower, only accepting everyone's gaze with dignity. Then someone teased her from afar, and she giggled. Her charming appearance attracted many admiring glances and also sparked some thoughts in certain people.

Before the hundred-day banquet had even ended, several people jokingly expressed their desire to marry off their children to the two. However, Lin Meng deftly deflected their advances with humor as well. When it was over, Rong Ling also told Lin Meng that a few individuals had privately indicated their interest in marrying him.

"Don't bother. My children, the offspring of Rongling, don't need those alliances at all!"

This man's confidence and domineering aura are growing day by day. He disdains marrying a wealthy and influential woman to bolster his power, so naturally he wouldn't use his children as bargaining chips.

“I also think it’s unnecessary, children's matters are something they'll handle when they grow up.” Lin Meng smiled and nestled in his arms, lazily half-closing her eyes to rest. “Some people asked me about it, but I brushed them off. I think they'll understand what we mean.”

In this world, there aren't many people who dare to directly propose a marriage alliance with the Rong Ling couple. They are just probing, testing the waters. The results of the probing are that it's not possible, so they naturally quiet down. Rong Ling's abilities don't allow them to be so bold!

"Oh!" She suddenly remembered something, her eyes widening as she sat up in his arms. "Why did Ah Yi suddenly punch you today What happened between the two of you"

The remarkable thing is, in front of so many people, with his temperament, after being punched like that, he didn't retaliate.

Ron Ling just smiled, with a hint of smugness in his eyes.

"It's nothing, he's just envious because you gave birth to a pair of good children for me!"

This was his pride and joy, but his greatest pride was successfully screwing over Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi had been so quiet this past year because he had been tied down by a woman. He deserved to be punched!

Men's behavior can sometimes be quite strange, Lin Meng felt she couldn't quite understand it. However, after believing Rong Ling's explanation, she didn't ask any further.

After the 100-day celebration, Xiaoxixixi was probably stimulated by Xiaochenchen's bullying under everyone's watchful eyes that day. She actually learned to roll over the next day. This roll felt like a great sense of accomplishment, just like "the peasant turned over and sang."

Little Chenchen flipped over to nudge Little Xixixi, who simply flipped over once and dodged directly. Then she lay there, continuing to enjoy her sleep. Often, after much effort, when Little Chenchen finally reached Little Xixixi's side, Little Xixixi had been well-rested and was grumbling softly, indicating that she was getting up.

She's still having trouble flipping over, lying there like a heavy stone is pressing down on her, unable to move. She needs help from adults to turn back over. After the adults help her flip, she giggles.

After doing it many times, Xiao Youyou would say in a rather unprincipled way, "Sister is making fun of her younger brother!"

At this time, Xiao Chenchen would "babble" and cry out loudly. When held up by an adult, he would flail his arms and legs wildly.

Xiaohuo chimed in from the side. "Little brother is just getting worked up and angry!"

"Well, you dare to get angry again" Xiaoyouyou hugged Xiuxi, grabbing her little arm and letting her little palm slap Xiaochenchen's hand. Then she quickly hugged Xiuxi back.

"Hmph, next time you dare to provoke me, I'll beat you up!"

Little Hao immediately hugged Little Chenchen in a strange way and trembled. "Ah ah ah, it really kills me! It really kills me!"

Little XiXi giggled. Little YouYou immediately "ha—ha" laughed twice.

"Let you know how awesome I am!" He said, holding Xiaoxixia and lightly hitting Xiaomomom.

Little Morning danced her arms and legs, making the situation even worse. She babbled and shrieked, her cries becoming rather sharp.

Little Hao immediately replied, "A tiger doesn't pounce on a cat. You really think I'm a sick cat, huh Come on, take this from Old Sun!"

Saying that, he held Xiao Chenchen and charged forward with all his might. Just as Xiao Chenchen's calf was about to touch Xiaoxix, he immediately retreated, leaving his kick hanging in the air.

"Halt! You little monkey, daring to run wild in my Little Dragon Girl's Dragon Palace. Do you really think my Dragon Palace is so easy to trespass" Xiao Yuyu hugged Xiao Xiuxi and swayed slightly up and down, making Xiao Xiuxi giggle even more.

"How are you doing" Xiaohuao hugged Xiaochengcheng and charged forward again. "Come on, I, Lao Sun, am not afraid of anything!"

Xiaochengcheng screamed excitedly, stimulated by Xiaoxiaohuo's loud voice, his arms and legs were moving all over the place!

Xiao Youyou carefully held Xiaoxixixi in one hand and grabbed her arm with the other. She swung her arms vigorously, commanding in a forceful manner.

"Hmph, refusing a toast means accepting a penalty! Come now, shrimp soldiers and crab generals, listen up and treat this little monkey well!"

"Alright!" Little Youyou played multiple roles by herself, changing her tone to a serious one as she put Little Xiuxi back on the bed and struck a pose towards Little Haohuo.

Little Hao immediately said, "Hmph, just this little bit of riffraff, there's no need for this king to take action. Come on, let my apprentices entertain you!"

Saying that, she pulled Little Chunchun's hand and let him rub his head against hers, making a gesture of pulling fur. She then put his little palm to his mouth. When Little Chunchun continued to babble excitedly, she made a loud puffing sound. Then, she placed Little Chunchun on the bed with railings, letting him lie back against the cushion. This signified that the monkeys were now fighting with Little Youyou.

Two people were going back and forth by the bed, mostly practicing hand techniques. You threw a punch, I blocked it with my palm. Looking fierce and powerful, they were actually just practicing moves. However, the two young ones acted very convincingly, grunting and snorting as they moved, making it look quite impressive.

Little Chichen was so excited that she couldn't sit still, her little hands flailing in the air. Little Xixixi giggled with delight, drool streaming down her chin.

As the two little ones were giggling with delight at entertaining their younger brother and sister, suddenly, a jet of pale gold spring water erupted.

"Ah—"

Youyou and Haohuo cried out together and quickly jumped back, narrowly dodging Xiaochengcheng's splash of urine!

"Hee hee..." Lin Meng watched this "puppet show" on the side, suppressing a smile for a long time. At this point, she couldn't be mean and teased, "Dragon Palace battle, how can there be no water! Little Chenchen is mighty, let me add some water to make things more exciting!"

"Hahaha…" Both Mama and Zhou Sao burst into laughter.

My goodness, these five mother and child are simply treasures. With them around, there's always laughter in this house.

"Mommy!" the two little ones looked at Lin Meng with some reluctance.

Lin Meng immediately rushed to the two little ones and made a gesture of apology. "Alright, you two caring brothers, which one of you can help Mommy by taking your sister to the restroom If we don't go soon, your sister will need some water to get her going!"

"Mommy!" Little Youyou stomped her feet and turned around to hug her little sister, whispering comfort into her ear. Meanwhile, Little Haohuo quickly grabbed a clean diaper and carried Little Chenchen aside, skillfully changing his diaper.

When the two little babies woke up early, their two loving older brothers immediately took off their diapers to let their little booties get some air and feel more comfortable. And then there was Little Chenchen's "little fountain" just now.

Little Youyou finished holding "Hush hush" and Little Xixi came back, skillfully putting a cotton diaper on Little Xixi. The two little ones, through unremitting efforts, have already gained Little Xixi's initial recognition and can hold her for a long time. The two little ones decided to keep striving, vying to let Little Xixi understand who is the person closest to her, loves her the most, is impossible to hurt her, and is the most reliable person she can depend on—her "brother". As for Mom Rong, she is still making slow progress, but her progress is still much slower than the two little ones. The others, including Zhou Ma who has a wealth of experience in raising children, are still stuck in place with no progress.

This is truly something to talk about!

Rong Ling had practiced martial arts with the two little ones for a while, so he came in later after washing up. As he entered, he still heard the laughter that hadn't stopped.

"What's wrong" he looked at Lin Meng.

Lin Meng then told him everything that had happened.

Rong Ling had a slight smile on her face, but she still scolded the two little ones. "You two be careful!"

The two little ones have been putting on "puppet shows" for their younger siblings for days now. According to the two youngsters, they use their "teaching by example" to improve their younger siblings' intelligence and unleash their potential. The two older children are well-intentioned and put a lot of thought into entertaining their siblings, so Rong Ling didn't stop them, and because the two little ones know their limits. However, Rong Ling often reminds the two little ones, just to keep them alert and careful. After all, both younger siblings are still small and fragile, and Youyou and Haohuo are also children. If the two older ones play too rough and accidentally hurt the younger ones, it would be terrible.

The two little ones obediently replied, and in their hearts they reminded themselves to happily go back and each get a bottle of warm water that had already been poured. They came over to give the two little ones water. Drinking water when you first wake up in the morning can clear toxins from your body, which is good for your health. These two little ones have successfully taken this task from the adults' hands and made it their own exclusive job.

To be honest, having these two little ones help take care of the younger siblings really saved Lin Meng a lot of trouble. Although she gave birth to twins this time, looking at the task of bringing up children seemed more burdensome, but Lin Meng felt that at this moment, it was even easier than when she took care of Youyou before. Because now, two children help her, her mother-in-law helps her, her husband helps her, and Zhou Sao and Yu Ma and others also help.

This is happiness!

She woke up early, did some yoga, and didn't even have time to shower before coming to see the two little ones. Now that so many people are watching the two little ones, they have to wait a while after drinking water to be fed, so she wants to go take a shower.

"Honey, could you please watch the kids for a moment while I take a quick shower"

She walked to Rong Ling's side, tilting her head up at him playfully. Rong Ling lowered his head and just responded with a "good." Through the tight-fitting yoga outfit she was wearing, he saw two glimpses of white and tender flesh. Because of breastfeeding, that area had developed even better. He immediately remembered the feeling of that smooth skin, softer than tofu, and dark sparks jumped in his eyes.

Lin Meng smiled and walked away at that time, with no burden at all.

As he brushed past her, a faint scent of milk wafted into his nostrils. He turned slightly, gazing at the beautiful curve of his wife's back, and his heart warmed. He ruthlessly abandoned the promise he had just made, striding after her.

He felt that merely practicing martial arts wasn't enough to dispel the energy coursing through him. Early in the morning, there must be something else he could do!

After Xiaoxi successfully flipped over, she truly enjoyed a good time. But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. This day, when Lin Meng had just finished yoga and was winding down, she was hurriedly pulled away by Rong's mother. It is said that Xiao Chenchen was found pressed under Xiaoxi in a terrible situation. Xiaoxi cried, and then Xiao Chenchen, rarely ever, also burst into tears.

What's going on!

This incident not only startled Lin Meng, but also Rong Ling and his two sons who were practicing martial arts in the morning. The family rushed upstairs to see their child, ignoring everything else. They each picked up their child and soothed them softly.

The child probably cried so hard that it took a while for him to finally stop sobbing.

Zhou Sao just talked about what happened briefly. Both she and Lin Meng had come to see the children after waking up. Seeing that the children were still sleeping peacefully as usual, they went back to their own things. The children had now been conditioned to go to bed early and wake up early, so Zhou Sao went upstairs when she estimated the children would be waking up soon. She heard the children crying from afar, and when she entered the room, she saw Xiao Chenchen crying while pressing on Xiao XiXi. She didn't know what had happened in between. There were only a few people in the house, everyone was busy with their own affairs, and it was impossible for anyone to come in. Even Yu Xu, who loved to play pranks, wouldn't do something so heartless.

"Watch the recording!" Rong Ling said after coaxing Xiaoxixixi.

Xiaoxi was really crushed this time, crying her heart out. She probably got hurt badly. After she cried, she didn't smile at all. She just had red eyes, sniffling with her little nose, looking pitifully at Rong Ling while also sucking on her own palm relentlessly.

This sounds a bit insecure.

It's fine, Rong Ling had made arrangements early on. Both the nursery and playroom for the children were equipped with monitors, just in case. These monitors were machine-controlled, with no one watching them. After all, Rong Ling couldn't bear to let others, even strangers, see his beloved wife's face, or even the sight of her feeding their child. Rong Ling personally retrieved the surveillance footage and, after finding the right time point, took a quick look and chuckled dumbly.

Turning back, he played the surveillance footage on his computer for everyone to see. After watching it, they all burst into laughter. It turned out that the culprit behind all this was little Chenchen!

Xiao Chenchen can sit up on his own now! This was a very sudden thing, he didn't show any signs yesterday, but unexpectedly, this morning he surprised everyone with such a "surprise"!

Little Chenchen can't reach Little Xixi now, but he doesn't give up at all. He flips over every morning and tries his best to jump towards Little Xixi. Today is different from usual because when Little Chenchen tried hard to kick his legs forward with his butt sticking out, he tripped and fell to one side, then completed a somersault that wasn't very technically sound. After turning his face to the sky, he slowly sat up and excitedly "aaahh"ed before pouncing on Little Xixi, directly landing on top of her.

Xiaoxix was woken up and cried out because she was pressed down. At first, Xiaocheng kept babbling happily, seemingly proud of his "achievement." But then Xiaoxix kept crying, and he suddenly burst into tears too, even louder than Xiaoxix. He seemed like the one who had been wronged! But clearly, he was the culprit behind all this.

After seeing clearly the cause and effect, Lin Meng reached out and lightly patted Xiao Chenchen's little butt in her arms.

"Little rascal, bullying your sister like this!"

Little Chenchen didn't feel any pain at all. He opened his jet-black eyes and looked innocently at Lin Meng, then persistently gnawed on his own hand.

When a baby has two ounces of honey on their hands, that's when they start to lick their own little hands!

Lin dreamt that he was eating with such greed, half of his hand almost stuffed into his mouth. Punitively, he pulled his little hand out of his mouth. Xiao Chenchen wouldn't give in, with saliva dripping from half of his chin, he mumbled and grumbled discontentedly.

"From now on, don't bully your sister anymore!" Lin Meng gently pinched Xiao Chenchen's nose.

Little Chenchen mumbled, as if agreeing.

Lin Meng laughed again. Such a little child wouldn't understand a word! It was just pure luck!

"Nobody expected him to sit up on his own!"

Little Hao whispered, "Wouldn't it be that Little Brother intentionally hid this skill and just used it to suddenly surprise his younger sister this morning"

This kid is so cunning, he even makes others seem cunning.

The adult chuckled at his child's childish words. A four-month-old baby couldn't possibly have such thoughts. It was just lucky!

That's it, the end of this matter.

However, Xiaoxix was often the victim. Whenever the adults weren't paying attention, Xiaochen would suddenly pounce on her. It seemed that Xiaochen had just discovered that he had such a big toy around him at that time. He happily found opportunities every day to press down on Xiaoxix.

That morning squeeze was something he definitely did, but the adults were prepared. Whenever he got excited and tried to pounce on Xiao XiXi, they'd just reach out and pull him away. However, Lin Meng and the others hadn't expected that Xiao ChenChen had become addicted to squeezing. Later, when no one expected it, during the day, Xiao ChenChen squeezed Xiao XiXi again. And so, this became his bad habit!

What's infuriating about this kid is that after he made Xiaoxix cry, after a while, he started crying himself. Lin Meng had no idea what this kid was crying about; he hadn't been bullied at all. Later, she could only think that there must be telepathy between twins, Xiao Xix cried for so long, Xiao Chenchen knew how to feel sorry for her. But even though he cried, next time he would press Xiaoxix down without any hesitation.

It's infuriating!

Lin Meng had disciplined Xiao Chenchen before, hitting his bottom after he once made Xiao XiXi cry. Basically, she held Xiao Chenchen and had him practice the act of pressing down, then hit him on his bottom afterwards, hoping he would understand that it was wrong to do so. However, the child cried because of the beating and didn't learn a lesson. Next time, he did the same thing again.

"I guess it's still too small!" Lin Meng shook her head and said to Rong Ling. "You still don't understand anything!"

You say you want to separate him from Xiaoxix, but that's impossible. Countless times of practice have proven that once Xiaoxix is separated from him for a long time or kept at a distance, he will cry bitterly.

"For now, we can only let the adults watch over things more closely. I think this situation should change soon. XiXi is just too lazy. Maybe we should have ChenChen urge her on. Perhaps, with ChenChen being so insistent every day, XiXi will become more diligent and be able to sit up on her own quickly, and even manage to push ChenChen back down."

Lin Meng thought about how XiXi would suddenly flip over before, and she felt that Rong Ling's words didn't seem impossible.

"Well, hope it goes as you wish!"

Then think about Xiaoxixu pressing Xiaochengchen back, this scene is a little funny when you think about it.

Rong Ling said again, "You don't have to worry too much. Children who exercise more will be healthier and tougher. This kind of pressure, for children, is not necessarily a bad exercise. But adults must watch them more closely, lest something unexpected happens!"

"Hmm."

Later on, just as Rong Ling had said, Xiao XiXi successfully counterattacked and defeated Xiao ChenChen. That scene made everyone who saw it burst into laughter.

At that time, Rong Jia and Rong Min Lin came over to discuss work with Lin Meng and asked her to sign some documents. After Lin Meng was done, the women naturally went to see the twins. Coincidentally, Shi Yu and Chen Zhi arrived together. Shi Yu was there to deliver cherries. Someone had sent air-freighted large cherries to his house, so he picked a basketful and brought them over. Good things like this, these uncles would never forget their two little nephews. These cherries were for Lin Meng to eat, and eventually they would end up in the babies' tummies anyway. As for Chen Zhi, he came to check out the various electronic devices in Rong Ling's house and to see about updating them.

What a coincidence, everyone gathered together. What another coincidence, seeing little Chenchen who was originally lying down suddenly sat up, then lay back down and started rolling over.

All eyes were drawn to it.

“This kid wants to squish his little sister again!”

Lin Meng explained with a smile, getting ready on one side. As soon as Xiao Chenchen started to rush towards Xiao Xiuxi, she stopped him.

But later, a sudden change occurred!

Little XiXi, who was happily sucking on her thumb, suddenly let go. She hummed twice, turned her body slightly, and began to push herself up with her elbow. Finally, she managed to sit up.

This girl just went off again!

This is the first time she sat up on her own!

Lin Meng looked on in great surprise.

Little Chenchen, who had also gotten up, looked at Xiao XiXi in this way, and seemed a little stunned. However, he was used to it, so he yelled "ah ah" like a little general, spitting out bubbles of saliva, happily pouncing on Xiao XiXi again. At this moment, something unexpected happened. Xiao XiXi suddenly bent her head forward, her waist twisted, and she also pounced on Little Chenchen, and finally even pinned him down!

Xiaoxixia laughed so hard, giggling like she had drunk sweet water. Her transparent saliva flowed down her chin, splattering onto Xiaomengmeng's clothes, leaving wet patches on his little shirt.

Now she's gotten her revenge!

Little Chenchen was babbling "yi yi ya ya" under her, as if she were annoyed.

Lin Meng looked at everything normal, and didn't rush to pick up Xiaoxixixi. She thought, "This way Xiaochenchen can experience the feeling of being pressed, so he can learn his lesson and not pounce on his sister randomly next time."

Ke Xiaochen, this little guy, always creates surprises. Lin Meng was still wondering if he would cry, but unexpectedly, after making a fuss for a while, he actually started giggling, as if he had taken a liking to the game.

Lin Meng raised his hand and patted his own forehead!

Okay, I give up to this little guy!

Both siblings laughed happily, seeming to enjoy playing like this. Lin Meng naturally wasn't in a hurry to separate the two. The adults gathered around, marveling at the scene.

Looking back, Shi Yu and Chen Zheng finally had something to brag about in front of Yu Xu. They managed to suppress him, just like how Yu Xu used to tease Xia XiXi until she cried, then seeking help from Rong Ling and Lin Mengjiang to make her laugh again. Yu Xu wasn't there to witness this historic first time being suppressed, naturally feeling remorseful. He ran to Rong Ling even more frequently.

Ronger's family, upon hearing this, all burst into laughter. They thought that Xiaoxix was "quiet but impressive" when she made a move.

In the days that followed, the two children frequently engaged in playful wrestling matches. It was clear they both enjoyed this game immensely, and usually ended up laughing together at the end.

Smiling children are smart, you know. Let children smile more, and it can also improve their intelligence. Besides, children are angels. Their laughter is the purest and easiest to trigger adults' smiles.

>The Rong family has never been short of laughter because of these two dolls.

And when children are seven or eight months old, they basically begin to develop into a blend of angels and devils. At that time, children become more robust, their perception of the outside world becomes much richer, especially since Xiao Chenchen has learned to crawl. This little guy is unstoppable; after learning to crawl, he doesn't like being held anymore. He just babbles "yi yi ya ya" all day long, crawling everywhere, his round little butt swaying back and forth. When adults are not paying attention, he crawls out of the room to explore everywhere. The speed at which he does this is simply indescribable!

Well, we set up a temporary barrier in the stairwell leading from the second floor to the first floor, so we don't have to worry about him falling down. But this child crawls too fast, never stopping for a rest. If you keep him confined to the activity room, he protests with loud shouts. Otherwise, he pouts and whimpers, crying in a way that makes his voice sound resentful and piercing, leaving you helpless but to open the door and let him crawl around outside. Most of the rooms on the second floor have become his playground. He starts crawling from one room to another, going in and out constantly, never stopping for a moment. His energy is truly astounding.

At this time, the adults couldn't keep up with his energy. With so much energy, no one had time to constantly watch him. This way, the boy started doing bad things and began urinating everywhere.

This is simply a bad habit!

Desperate, Lin Meng started implementing a strategy of close monitoring and training his son's pee alert. Eventually, it worked out. When the boy needed to pee, he would cry "aaah" and shake his head vigorously. The adults knew he had to go and quickly picked him up.

This little boy, he wasn't satisfied just crawling around by himself. He kept actively encouraging Xiaoxixixi to join him in "mischief." Xiaoxixixi always does things later than Xiaochenchen. Since Xiaochenchen could already crawl, he would often circle Xiaoxixixi while crawling, taking a few steps, turning his head to look at her, and smiling at her, trying to get her attention.

That laughter seemed to say: "Come on, XiXi, come here quickly! Let's climb together. Climbing is so much fun! Come with me…"

Sometimes, he would climb onto Xiao Xi's side and actually pin her down. Then he would push against her with all his might, making her flip over. Once she was on her back, he would keep pushing her, encouraging her to move forward. The way he did it, so diligently and earnestly, really looked like a dedicated coach.

At that moment, the boy looked really likeable. Honestly, it made me feel like he was a good brother!

As the saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way." After all that hard work, little XiXi finally learned to crawl. Then, Xiao ChenChen set out on his kidnapping mission. Little XiXi is such a good child; she let him lead her around and crawled everywhere, starting to explore independently. What the adults often see is Xiao ChenChen "bang bang bang," hitting the floor with his little hands, crawling for quite a distance, then turning back to look at XiXi and smiling at her.

As soon as Xiaoxixixi was enticed, she giggled happily and crawled towards her brother. When Xiaochen saw that she had crawled a distance, he excitedly led the way ahead. He would crawl for a while, then turn back to look at Xiaoxixixi, waiting until she was about to catch up before he scurried forward again. That little behind of his was wagging so hard it almost flew off!

At Rong's house, this scene often played out: two little boys, bare-bottomed and giggling, chasing each other back and forth like a runaway train.

At this time, most of the furniture was damaged. With their teeth starting to grow in, they were no longer content biting on plastic toys. Basically, anything they saw, they would put into their mouths and bite. Small bowls, spoons, children's cloth books, small balls, rattles, and other small toys had all been gnawed by them. Children are always fickle, the same toy, after playing for a few days, they lose interest, stop playing, and begin actively expanding their territory, looking for anything novel in their eyes. At this point, any furniture with fine legs became the target of these two little ones. The two were like partners in crime, often holding onto a wooden leg together and gnawing on it, giggling at each other from time to time, making people both laugh and cry.

Knowing that they were teething at this time, their gums were uncomfortable. They wanted to put everything in their mouths to chew on. Lin Meng came up with many ideas for this. She prepared frozen fruits and cut them into strips for them to hold and gnaw on. She also made "finger" cookies and animal cookies for them to nibble on.

This provided timely relief from their toothache, but they still liked to search everywhere for things to put in their mouths and start chewing, as if the things they found were more delicious. Their mouths never seemed to rest, all day long, whenever they were awake, you could see them moving constantly. And don't even mention the drool, it flowed like a small river, and they had to change the cloth around their mouths every half hour or so. Wherever they chewed on something, it was definitely covered in their saliva.

This period is the oral stage for children, and adults can't stop them, nor should they. Because if you don't let children chew enough when they are young, their unmet needs during this period will manifest in adulthood as addictions to smoking or snacking, in short, this oral desire will erupt in other forms. All Lin Meng can do is to do a good job of disinfection in every place. Children's toys should be disinfected frequently.

The villa is quite big, but it can't withstand these two kids climbing all day long. Xiaoxixia is alright, but Xiaomengmeng is just a wild monkey. I don't know when it started, he has been crawling around looking for fun, and his desire is no longer satisfied. He set his sights on higher places. Those places that he couldn't reach while climbing seem to hold even more fun things, all waiting for him to explore. So, he took another step forward, unknowingly, he would grab onto something for support and stand up by himself.

This stop was something else. He seemed to have discovered a new world all of a sudden. He no longer liked crawling, instead he would go "ah ah ah" all day long, clamoring to walk. He was only eight months old! What was there to walk Where would he even walk to!

This child is very clever. He can't walk himself, but he knows that adults can help him. So he crawls to an adult's legs and clings to them, trying to stand up. Then he looks up at the adult and babbles incoherently. If an adult doesn't help him, he grabs their leg with one hand and extends the other out, trying to stand on his own. He wobbles precariously, but still refuses to give up.

At this time, if the adults cooperate with him, squatting down and supporting his armpits to help him walk, he will giggle with joy. Often, after walking once, he is not satisfied and wants to walk three or four times before taking a break. After a while, he'll start crawling again, looking for a suitable high place to conquer. At this time, any furniture, such as cabinets, chairs, tea tables, anything with edges, frames, or protrusions at a height suitable for him will be grasped by his small hands, which are not even the size of a cookie, with all his might. Then he puts his center of gravity on the furniture and slowly stands up leaning against it.

This boy's strength is truly amazing! No one would say otherwise!

Sometimes, he could walk a short distance with the support of something. At this time, he was happy. When an adult called his name, he would turn his head to look at the adult and suddenly giggle, as if showing off his ability, and continue walking with a smile.

Sometimes, when he finally managed to stand up, he found that he couldn't walk. At this point, he didn't know how to sit down either, so he could only stand there awkwardly, unable to move forward or backward. After a while, he started to cry out in frustration. Look at him, he had frightened himself into tears.

During the process of learning to crawl, stand, and walk, there are bound to be some accidents. The little guy's legs are still wobbly, so it's inevitable that he'll stumble while standing and fall. He might hurt himself, bump his head, or get a sore arm. At these times, Rong Ling is cold and unfeeling, always saying the same thing: "Boys shouldn't be coddled; they need to be toughened up by bumps and bruises. They grow bigger and stronger that way. Let Chenchen go wild."

Little Chenchen has fallen so many times that he's become tough. Unless it hurts really bad, he hardly ever cries now. Usually after a fall, he gets stunned for a moment, his mouth opens wide like he's about to cry, but when he turns his head and sees no one paying attention to him, the adults are still doing their own thing, he just hums twice and sits on the ground playing by himself. After playing for a while, he forgets all about falling and gets up again, continuing to grab things and try to stand.Sometimes, he might sob a few times, but it's quick coming and going. The adults come over, rub the place where he got bumped, and say a few words to him, and his attention is diverted. He stares at the adults' moving lips and starts babbling "ah ah ah ah" himself. Once he's done talking, he twitches his little butt and starts crawling again, going to conquer new heights, leaving the used-up adults behind on the ground, a wobbly bum high above them.

It should be said that the little ones at this time are very cute.

At this time, the two little ones can also utter simple syllables, such as "pa—pa", "ma—ma", "yi—yi", "da—da", "ei—ei". They are not particularly clear and accurate, but the first two sound like "Dad" and "Mom", which delighted the adults at home. They were very persistent and would seize any opportunity to sit their little ones in front of them and try hard to coax them to call themselves.

For example, Mama Rong’s “grandma,” Yu You Hao Hao’s “older brother,” Yu Xu’s “uncle,” and Jiang Mama’s “grandmother.” The results of the teaching are often that the little ones are particularly uncooperative, calling out “ah ah ah ah” and spraying them with saliva, but both big and small still enjoy teaching.

Xiao XiXi, in everyone's eyes, has always been a proud and cute baby, a little princess. She basically doesn't cause trouble and is very obedient. When Xiao ChenChen was crawling everywhere and couldn't sit still for long, the adults gave Xiao XiXi toys to play with, and Xiao XiXi would also be well-behaved sitting on the ground playing with the toys. But soon after, the adults realized that Xiao XiXi was actually giving them a bigger headache!

At first, it was the sudden disappearance of a few toys. The two little ones had a lot of toys, many of which were gifts from relatives and friends. Just like their mothers, Rong's mother and Jiang's mother, as well as Yu Xu and others who loved the two children dearly, naturally spared no effort to get them some fun toys. Besides, there were always people visiting the Rong family to see the two little ones. So you can imagine how amazing the amount of toys was!

Because there were many toys, at first when a few went missing, the adults didn't pay much attention. One day, Lin Meng was disinfecting the toys commonly used by the children and noticed that a plastic rabbit-shaped toy that made sounds seemed to be missing. She thought about it once or twice, but she didn't take it to heart. However, as the number of times this happened increased, she had to pay special attention.

Could it have been accidentally left somewhere!

She first looked around the activity room. Children's toys were usually kept on a special game shelf, which Rong Ling had had made for them. Those that were frequently played with were put in boxes on the floor, while larger ones were placed directly on the ground. She didn't find any in the activity room, and finally, it was Aunt Fu who found several pieces and brought them to her, saying that she had found them while cleaning the house. Two were hidden behind the curtains, two under the sofa, and one under a cabinet. In another room, behind the curtains, Aunt Fu also discovered a piece of cookie that had been eaten halfway through.

Lin Meng felt that something was amiss.

She thought for a moment, then decided to take advantage of the time when the two little ones were napping. She went to Aunt Fu's house and started looking in the room with the most stuff. In different places, especially in hard-to-reach corners, she found several toys that the children had played with. Then, in an empty cabinet closest to the ground, she immediately found seven or eight things. There were cookies and apple sticks that were half-eaten, carrot sticks, even some that were starting to mold!

By this point, Lin Meng could be practically certain of her suspicions. It seemed like one of the children liked to hide things. Her biggest suspicion was Xiao Chenchen. He climbed the best and often when the adults weren't paying attention, he would disappear somewhere. He was also the only one who could stand up, pull open a drawer, and then hide things inside.

The toy is nothing, but hiding food is very bad. This moldy stuff, what if one day the little one suddenly wants to take it out and put it in their mouth What can we do then!

As soon as she thought about it, Lin Meng started to feel nervous. Then, she formally asked Rong Ma, Yu Ma, Fu Sao, and Zhen Sao to help her start checking each room one by one, while Zhou Sao was in charge of watching the two little guys.

Such a thorough search, you wouldn't believe it. You actually found quite a bit of stuff. There's food, there are toys. The coverage area is pretty wide, even under the sofa cushion we found several small toys.

This seemed to further incriminate Xiao Chenchen, yet Lin Meng, looking at the toys that had been put together at last, had other thoughts. Because most of these toys were actually things that Xiao Xi would like.

Xiao Chenchen hid Xiaoxixi's favorite things!

No way!

Xiao Chenchen is very protective of Xiao Xixixi. He loves her so much that if someone who isn't family holds Xiao Xixixi, he gets upset and crawls to the person, pulling their legs hard and protesting loudly. Because Xiao Xixixi has grown a lot and become more sensible, after Lin Meng introduced guests to Xiao Xixixi and let her get familiar with them, she would be willing to hold the guests for a very short time. At this time, everyone discovered that Xiao Chenchen's protective instinct towards Xiao Xixixi was so strong. So far, Rong Jia's Xiao Xixixi is still a pampered little princess who can't be held by just anyone.

Both children are suspects and are being watched.

Lin Meng made this decision, intending to first understand the ins and outs of the situation before figuring out how to handle it.

And after waking up, the two children behaved surprisingly well. Little Chenchen was unusually quiet and didn't crawl around as much. Instead, he sat in the activity room playing with toys and interacting with the adults.

When Rong Ling got off work that evening, Lin Meng told him about it. Rong Ling went to look at the toys that had been found and also watched the video footage. When he came back, he told Lin Meng,

"Those toys, both of the little ones were taking them out. I see this matter, both of the little ones have a share."

The surveillance was only installed in the nursery and playroom. No other places had it, so no one knew exactly what the process was like. However, to figure out the process, Rong Ling temporarily installed a camera in the room that was most frequented by the two children.

"It's common for children to hide things, it's nothing major, just be extra careful not to let food spoil in hidden places."

"Hmm." Lin Meng shook her head. "Generally speaking, children don't start hiding things this early, they usually do it around 18 months or two years old. I feel like our two little ones are a bit too smart for their own good."

“Isn't this a good thing” Rong Ling’s lips curled into a smirk, his eyes filled with pride. “The house is already clean, and the children have limited places to hide things, so it's easy to find them. It just takes some time to find them all. I guess they're just playing and think it's fun!”

The next morning when Yu Xu came, he heard about this and wore an odd expression.

It is said that dragons have a habit of collecting things, especially anything shiny and sparkly, as well as treasures. Morning Morning and Evening Evening, these really are dragon children and grandchildren!

"Huh, there's such a saying" Lin Meng was a little surprised.

"Well, some folklore."

Lin Meng fell into deep thought. “Come to think of it, the things that were hidden seem to be just what Xiao Xi likes.”

That's why she paid attention to it and followed up. Otherwise, if it were just an ordinary toy, children would have played with it once and put it aside. She probably wouldn't have noticed it so quickly. After all, children have too many toys, and some go missing. Adults wouldn't necessarily notice them right away.

Yu Xu was a little excited, marveling at it. "Haha, as expected of my little dragon girl, she's so smart even at such a young age, knowing how to hide things well. It is said that dragons have a nature of discerning good from bad and a fondness for collecting valuable treasures. Haha, I think she can inherit my mantle and develop in the field of collecting antiques. In the future, as long as it's any kind of treasure, she will collect it, and then hide it well so that no one can find it!"

Rong Ling immediately gave Yu Xu a withering look.

"If you dare to corrupt my daughter, I'll kill you first!"

"How could this be considered spoiling her The antique is a good thing, very valuable! It's great to develop in this direction—"

Yu Xu was just about to boast when Rong Ling's icy gaze forced him to stop.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. That's fine, right"

But, how Xiaoxixixi hides things is something he absolutely cannot miss. At that time, he will once again have capital to brag in front of his brothers.

After several observations, the general process of how this thing hides things has also surfaced.

Basically, the one who hides things is Xiaoxix. The little girl is very clever. Before hiding things, she even knows to look around left and right. When she sees that the adults aren't looking at her, she smiles mischievously and hides the things away. At this time, what she hides are basically some obvious places, such as behind the curtains or under the sofa. After hiding it well, she crawls out a little, innocently smiling at the adults, or crawling to the adults and acting cute at their feet, asking them to play with her. And that's how the adults are repeatedly deceived by her.

And the more sophisticated hiding method was a collaboration between Xiao Chenchen and Xiao Xixixi. Xiao Xixixi held something small in her hand and happily crawled behind Xiao Chenchen, while Xiao Chenchen stood up to open the drawer. Xiao Xixixi passed him the item, which he then put into the drawer. After closing the drawer, the siblings giggled and lay down on the ground, excitedly crawling back to the activity room. When they felt like it, they would take out their treasures and hide them again!

"Amazing, amazing! Everyone knows how to cooperate!"

Yu Xu looked on as people muttered amongst themselves.

Because hiding things is a child's nature and also a way for children to develop their intelligence, it's not good to simply stop them. What adults can do is guide them in various ways, such as guiding children to find the things they have hidden, or guiding them on which things are not allowed to be hidden, or finding the hidden items after some time has passed.

When the children are young, they only hide things in certain places, so it's easy to find them. As for food, adults usually intercept her when she gets halfway up, taking the food from her hands. After several times, Xiaoxixia probably understood and rarely climbed out carrying food anymore.

And Little Chenchen is indeed a good brother, but also the "big culprit". When Xiaoxi hid things, he helped her hide them, and even helped her get her toys.

This kind of doting will make people wonder what he'll be like when he grows up!

And Yu Xu's words that day, about dragons liking to hide glittering things, especially treasures, seemed to have come true. Xiaoxixia grew bigger and bigger, and she became fixated on anything that shone brightly. At this time, the jewelry and accessories worn by adults became her target.

Rong Ling was a doting father. Sometimes, his daughter would babble and run into his arms, grinning mischievously at him, reaching out to grab his tie clip. He would willingly take it off and give it to Xiao Xi Xi to play with. Xiao Xi Xi played with it for a while, then hid it away. Because of this, several of Rong Ling's tie clips went missing, including two that he particularly liked. But he wasn't angry at all, instead saying that his daughter was playing with them. Whenever his daughter wanted to play, he would willingly take it off and give it to her.

There was only one thing, anything that glittered on him, like handmade diamond buttons, he would take off and give to his daughter if she wanted it. But the watch on his hand, no matter how much his daughter coaxed or even cried, he wouldn't give it up.

Lin Meng then asked curiously.

The man told her that the watch strap was custom-made by her herself and had special meaning, so it couldn't be given to her daughter to play with. If it got damaged while playing, or if she hid it somewhere and couldn't find it for a while, it would be absolutely unacceptable.

In his heart, he doted on his daughter. But there was one person who would always be before her, and that was—her!

Lin Meng giggled happily for days.

The other people in the house also pamper Xiaoxixia, like Youyou and Haohuo, just like her father. They are very indulgent towards Xiaoxixia. Whenever Xiaoxixia wants something, they will give it to her. This little girl can be particularly amusing at times. She thinks that if adults don't stare at her, they are not looking at her, so she foolishly hides things and giggles to herself, her big eyes twinkling with delight. It's very endearing. But in fact, all her actions are within the adults' peripheral vision.

Turning back, Youyou was playfully teasing Xiaoxix, pretending to be sad and worried as she asked about the thing he had just given her. Xiaoxix giggled innocently and looked so pure and guileless. Youyou and Haohuo tried to explain by making gestures, describing the object with exaggerated anxiety, even shouting at her in a pretend angry voice. But the little girl remained oblivious, laughing happily as if proud of her cleverness, or perhaps simply fearless.

When she came back, the two little ones deliberately teased her. They hugged her and brought her to where she hid things. Then, they took out what she had hidden right in front of her, smiling proudly at her. She wasn't angry though, still giggling happily, and even reached out to the two little ones wanting more. When the two little ones couldn't resist her wet eyes and gave her the thing, she giggled, twisted her chubby little butt with glee, crawled out excitedly, and then found another place to hide again.

Loving it!

Only children can be so happy to play this game over and over again!

However, this habit sometimes brings small troubles. Sometimes when guests come to the house, seeing Xiao XiXi liking the things they are wearing, they will take them off and let Xiao XiXi play with them. Everyone loves children, and Lin Meng can't stop them. When she turns around, Xiao XiXi hides the things. Sometimes these things can be found in time and returned to the guests. But sometimes, they can only wait for a while before being inadvertently discovered.

"Oh, what else are you looking for Just give it to小龍女!"

Adults always say that.

Kolin's dream doesn't lack these things, so naturally, he wouldn't want them. So, he diligently taught Xiaoxi to find the "floaty" things back. At this time, Xiaoxi was especially stubborn and refused to look for them. She still found joy in watching the adults worry.

"He's such a little devil!"

Once, Lin Meng helplessly said to Rong Ling.

Rong Ling chuckled. "That's a unique little devil, a lovable little devil!"

He always indulged his daughter.

“A child is only nine months old, so reasoning with them won't work. At this age, children just love to play, so let them play their fill. These are the years when they are truly carefree, so don't stifle their nature. Just let things take their natural course.”

Well, if the child's father says so, she'll just "go with the flow."

And in fact, it once again proved that the child's father was right. Some things really are just natural and will happen when they should.

Things were like this, when Elder Yu Xu celebrated his birthday, Lin Meng went with her two little ones. There were definitely adorable children at the birthday party. As soon as the two unbelievably cute twins appeared, they attracted a circle of onlookers from other children, and everyone loved to play with them. While Youyou and Haohuo watched over the two little ones, Lin Meng and Rong Ling went to chat with the adults. When they turned back, something small happened.

A little girl's beloved diamond hair clip went missing, and the child's mother was a bit angry. The hair clip was hidden by Xiaoxixia, so Lin Meng had to go over and handle it.

Xiaoxix's hidden things, she has never found them herself. In this unfamiliar Yu family, Lin Meng didn't know where Xiaoxix had hidden the thing. At that time, everyone was playing together, both hide-and-seek and treasure hunt, Youyou and Haohuo didn't pay special attention to this matter either. For a while, the little girl's mother wanted to find her hairpin, but where could she find it So Lin Meng discussed whether to wait a few days, until she found the hairpin before sending it to them, if she really couldn't find it, she would definitely compensate the little girl with an exactly the same one!

The child's mother looked rather insistent, saying that it was a birthday gift bought for her child by her elder sister, specially from abroad. The affection contained in this thing couldn't be simply compensated! She kept repeating herself as if she had made up her mind that Xiaoxi and the others had lost the little girl's hairpin!

Xiaoyou pointed coolly. "That hairpin, she said she wanted to give it to Xixi to play with at the time. How can you take back something that has already been given away"

Since the things had already been given out, Youyou and Haohuo didn't mind at all, so they played along with Xiuxi. The two brothers were extremely fond of Xiuxi!

The little girl blushed slightly upon hearing this and hid half her face behind her mother.

It seems Xiaoyou is telling the truth.

Because the child's mother initially made a big fuss about this, with five or six parents watching, so at this moment, Youyou's words were like hitting her in the face. Since her daughter didn't explain clearly, she blamed her. Now that she's being so submissive, she would inevitably lose face, so she started to quibble and argue.

"My daughter definitely meant to give this to your sister to play with for a while, and then bring it back. How could something so precious just be given away casually!"

That person already had a bit of a grudge against Lin Meng in their heart. Seeing Lin Meng receive so much praise and attention, they couldn't stand it. They continued, "It's not good for children to just take other people's things casually like this, especially if they don't return them afterwards—"

She didn't say anything more after that. But everyone could guess what she was going to say next wasn't anything good. It was a veiled accusation against Xiao Xi Xi's upbringing, and it directly pointed at Lin Meng.

Xiao Youyou's eyes grew even colder. He felt deeply remorseful. Mommy had entrusted her younger siblings to him, but he hadn't fulfilled his responsibility as a caretaker. He let others insult them and caused Mommy to lose face as well.

He explained loudly, “Xi Xi just likes to hide things, she wouldn’t take other people’s belongings. Just now, everyone strongly wanted to play hide-and-seek with Xi Xi, so she went to hide. The children gave her things, she didn't take any of them, they're all in this room, I'll find the hair clip and give it back to you.”

A woman let out a scoff.

Lin Meng heard this and felt a little displeased in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said.

“Our XiXi loves to hide things and play. Experts say this is a way for children to develop their intelligence and practice their skills, so we shouldn't restrict her. Unexpectedly, it made everyone laugh. Hehe, kids only hide things in those places, the objects must be somewhere in this house, we will definitely find them.”

Some parents with children at home readily agreed, saying that their own children had gone through this stage too. They then all praised Xiaoxix for being clever and knowing how to hide things so early on.

These compliments made the lady a little embarrassed, but after all, it was a place where celebrities gathered. She couldn't say anything too harsh and ruin her own reputation. So she just stood there without saying a word. In her mind, she thought about where children hid things, they were always so strange and unexpected. It was difficult to find them. She remembered that her daughter used to be the same way. If she really found it, that would be fine, but if she couldn't, then Lin Meng would lose face.

Xiaoxixixi has always been irresponsible when it comes to finding things, so hearing that something needed to be found, she didn't react, she just giggled there. Xiaochenchen also didn't understand what was going on and kept "Ah ah ah"ing there. Then seeing the two brothers walking outside, she giggled and followed behind them, crawling along. She thought her brothers were playing a game. Xiaoxixixi saw this and also wanted to crawl over, but she was held back by Linmeng.

Soon, Youyou and Haohuo found back a few things and placed them on the ground. One child said that these were gifts they had given to XiXi to play with, yes, indeed gifts, not the kind that weren't supposed to be taken back.

The lady's face turned rather unpleasant, her lips pursed in a gloomy manner. After all, one of the recovered items was a diamond-studded teddy bear, about the size of a thumb, which didn't seem much cheaper than the diamond hair clip. Now she seemed quite petty!

She could only secretly hope that the hairpin wouldn't be found, and ideally it would be stealthily taken by someone and then simply lost.

Lin Meng's heart wasn't at ease either, because she had also thought of that side of things that the woman had thought of. Xiao Xi Xi was still ignorantly laughing, playing with her hair in her arms, babbling away to her incessantly. Lin Meng didn't want to scare the child, but she also didn't have the heart to play with the child at this time, so she could only smile at Xiao Xi Xi.

With the hairpin still missing, there was a moment of silence among the adults. Little XiXi seemed to have noticed something, her smile vanished, and she stared with her dark eyes, nestled in Lin Meng's arms, watching as two more things were brought back by her brothers one after another.

I don't know how, but I can't seem to find the clip.

You You and Hao Hao's faces tightened even more. A hint of mockery flickered across the woman's face.

Things happened at Yu's house, and the Yu family naturally learned about it very quickly. Yu Xu's sister-in-law hurried over, saying nice things and hoping that the lady would not make things so stiff.

Xiaoyouyou was very clear that before the guests dispersed today, if she couldn't find that hairpin, their family would be humiliated. So she was a little anxious and couldn't help but coldly face Xiaoxixixi, something rare for her.

"Where is Pippi Where is Pippi, Yaya Pippi, bring Pippi back..."

"Biao biao, refers to pretty things, things that shine."

He had said this to her before, but Xiaoxi always laughed gleefully, with a hint of smugness. But today, Xiaoxi was unusually quiet. She kept her big, dark eyes wide open and made two soft "yi yi" sounds while struggling to get down from Lin Meng's arms.

Xiaoyou's heart skipped a beat, and she called out to Lin Meng.

"Mommy!"

Needless to say, Lin Meng understood his meaning and put Xiao XiXi down.

Xiaoxi was “babbling” and kicking her two tender little legs, clapping her hands “bang bang” as she crawled forward very quickly. Youyou and Haohuo hurriedly followed. Everyone else hurriedly stepped aside so as not to block Xiaoxi’s path, and also to make it easier for others to see more clearly.

Then everyone saw Xiaoxix rush forward in one breath to a chubby, fluffy big cat and pounce on it. Then she "yiya"ed, sticking out a finger and poking under the fluff's butt. Those with sharp eyes could see that there was a hidden zipper under the fluff's butt, and it had been pulled open a little.

It's entirely possible that the hairpin is hidden there.

And finally, Xiaoxixiao really found a hairpin in the plush toy, then holding the hairpin in her little hand, Xiaoxixiao still babbled "yiya" and crawled back, but she didn't crawl to Lin Meng. Instead, she climbed directly in front of that little girl. Seeing this, the little girl blushed, hiding even deeper behind her mother, without reaching out to take it.

Xiaoxixixi "yiya yiya" called, stretching out her hand. Seeing that the little girl didn't take it, she sat down with a plop, making it easier to raise her hand, and then waved her hair clip, giggling at the little girl.

The sound of a child's laughter is magical. The little girl finally wasn't hiding anymore, shyly blushing as she reached out and took the hairpin away, but she didn't dare say like other children that this hairpin was given to Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxi giggled again, happily threw herself back down on the ground, and crawled towards Lin Meng with a mischievous grin. Lin Meng happily picked her up.

"Hee hee…"

Xiaoxi laughed even more happily. Her cheerful laughter made the others laugh along with her.

That's the end of it. The woman left with a dejected air, under the faintly scornful or disapproving glances of the others. After all, the truth was clear: the children were simply playing a game, yet the adults had to intervene and make such a serious issue out of it. It just shows how petty and small-minded someone can be. Moreover, Lin Meng's two boys had been considerate of everyone's feelings by letting their younger siblings play with the other children, but in the end, they ended up experiencing this kind of situation.

In such situations, it's difficult to pinpoint which lady is being condemned, but there's no shortage of accusing glances.

As the head of the Yu family, Old Master Yu would certainly find out about this. When Lin Meng came out holding the child, in front of everyone, he took off the jade ring with his thumb and waved it in front of Xiao Xi Xi.

"Come, XiXi, this is a gift for you to play with."

Everyone immediately noticed the difference. The value of this ring was extraordinary, and everyone present knew that. Those who vaguely understood what had happened all realized that it should be a compensation and apology from Old Master Yu to Rong Ling's family, and at the same time, a warning to that clueless family.

Xiaoxi likes sparkly and pretty things most of all. As usual, she would have happily accepted the ring finger. But today, she turned her face away and looked elsewhere, then watched as Rongling walked towards her, giggling, "Ah ah" she called out, stretching out her hands as if to hug Rongling.

Rong Ling walked over and took her, then turned to Yu Laoye and said seriously.

"Old Yu, you are the Star of Longevity today. There's no reason for the Star of Longevity to give gifts outside. You should put this back on quickly. Xi Xi is still young and doesn't understand the value of this thing. She might play with it for a while and then hide it away. Later, you guys will have to search everywhere for it, which would be quite troublesome!"

Old Yu chuckled and took the item.

He got it!

As for Mr. Yu and Rong Ling, everyone below understands what that means! That young girl's family should just pray for themselves. Rong Ling's temper isn't easy to handle!

Some people also think that woman is stupid, going out of her way to touch something she shouldn't. After all, Rong Ling was so rich he could rival a country. His children had seen everything imaginable. Look at this, the little girl didn't even want Yu Lao Ye's ring! And she dared to ask for that small inlaid hair clip Not to mention, that thing was her own daughter who said she wanted to give it away as a toy!

Later, the man from that family specially came to apologize to Rong Ling, but Rong Ling simply ignored him. His cold gaze directly ignored him!

Lin Meng was very worried that Xiaoxixixi would be stimulated by something, because her previous performance was really unusual. However, she later felt relieved. Because Xiaoxixixi was still interested in her father's tie clip. In such a case, she couldn't let her father's tie clip play with it. Lin Meng took off the blood diamond necklace she was wearing around her neck and let Xiaoxixixi grab it in her hand to play with, and then she shifted her attention from her father's tie clip.

Everyone who saw this scene could only stare in disbelief. Such a priceless thing would be given to a child to play with, even put in their mouth to chew on Only the Rong family could afford such extravagance! And that person who made such a fuss over a tiny hair clip was simply pathetic!

The most obvious benefit of this event is that Xiao XiXi no longer accepts things from unfamiliar people. She still likes beautiful, shiny, and precious things, and she still likes to hide them away, a typical dragon trait. However, no matter how beautiful, sparkling, or valuable the thing is, if it's not given by someone she knows, she won't take it.

For this, Yu Xu felt very guilty and thought he had damaged the child's nature.

Lin Meng felt it was a blessing in disguise, and told Yu Xu not to blame himself. In the end, the child turned out this way, which was quite good. Besides, the other woman's family had learned their lesson too, so this matter could just be let go.

Rong Ling's personality was most protective of her own. Turning around, she immediately unleashed a storm against the family's industry, giving them a severe lesson. Afterwards, Lin Meng also learned that the woman was related to the He family, considered a distant relative of Old Madam He.

Old Mrs. He had followed the second son's family that day, thinking it was the smartest choice, but she didn't expect such a miserable outcome. The second son's son became addicted to gambling. Not only did he steal the old antiques that Old Mrs. He kept in her trunk and used them as gambling money, but he also gambled away most of the second son's family's possessions. Old Mrs. He was the most selfish person imaginable. After the family split up, the things she kept in her trunk were what she relied on most. Now that these things had been stolen by the second son's son, she was furious and declared that she would report the crime and sue them in court, demanding that they compensate her for the items and asking the eldest son's family and the third son's family to join her in accusing them. The second son's family must have been afraid because they locked Old Mrs. He up and prevented her from going out, completely cutting off her contact with the outside world. The second son's son was even more ruthless; he directly silenced Old Mrs. He by poisoning her.

Thus, the old woman was paralyzed in bed and unable to speak; she was practically a useless person. Because she had made such a scene before, there was basically no relationship left between her and the second family. So, the second family naturally treated her much worse than before, only feeding her like a dog, giving her whatever scraps they had left. Like this, Old Madam He lived under the second family's roof for over a year, suffering as if she were a useless person, until not long ago when the second family was visited by loan sharks. Because the other party threatened them with a knife, everyone panicked and fled, leaving only Old Madam He alone in the house. When the loan sharks broke in, they found Old Madam He and then exposed this whole matter.

It is said that when Old Mrs. He was found, her room, which was less than ten square meters, was simply unbearable, like a cesspool that had accumulated for a long time. Old Mrs. He herself was also covered in feces and urine, dirty and smelly. Because she was unattended for a long time, many places on her lower body were rotten. Also because of long-term malnutrition, she was literally skin and bones.

Old Madam He must have been prepared. When the loan shark stormed in, cursing and yelling, she pulled out a white cloth from her chest and held it up tremblingly for them to see. The white cloth had blood-written words stating that if they saved her, she would give them ten million!

Heavy rewards were offered, drawing in many who came and went with doubts. Eventually, the old woman was saved. Currently, she's been taken back by the eldest son of the He family, while the second son and his family are on the run. The eldest son wished to avoid trouble, but the old woman harbored deep resentment towards her second son's family, biting her finger and writing in blood that they absolutely couldn't be spared. The eldest son had no choice but to comply with his mother's wishes. At this moment, the third son's family jumped in, offering heartless words that pierced the old woman's heart. In short, the He family is once again engulfed in chaos.

However, those subsequent events were none of Lin Meng's concern.

That woman was so hostile towards Lin Meng that day, there must have been some anger directed at him. She probably felt that if it weren't for Lin Meng, Old Madam He wouldn't have suffered so much.

Lin Meng merely let out a cold snort. Karma is a cycle, retribution is inevitable. As for Old Madam He, she only has herself to blame. If you don't have the diamond, don't try to block the porcelain. If that woman wants to provoke her, she better weigh herself and see what she's made of! To hit a stone with an egg is just foolish! Her own man should be able to put her in her place!

Youyou and Haohuo also explained to Lin Meng their roles in the matter concerning Old Mrs. He. They said that they had encouraged the son of the second family to gamble more and more, escalating his addiction until the end result that might have only come years later was brought forward for Old Mrs. He.

Lin Meng listened and didn't say anything. She just smiled and patted the heads of the two children. They were letting out steam for her, their mother. As filial children, she wouldn't blame them!

She thought, in this world, to be a good person or a saint all the time is to invite suffering upon oneself. Just as legend has it, if one wants to become a Buddha, they must endure the suffering of ten thousand karmic sins, dissipate those karmic sins, and only then can they be reborn and attain enlightenment.

She doesn't expect to become a Buddha! It's great to be an ordinary person!

She is an ordinary person, her children are ordinary people, and her husband is also an ordinary person, so, let's just live such a mundane life.

Not be a good person, but ask for a clear conscience!

Thinking this way, she laughed.

His man, however, never claimed to be a good person from beginning to end. But it was this man who did many things that good people would strive their whole lives to achieve, things that were magnificent and grand. It was also this man who brought her the greatest happiness.

Where can we draw the line between good and bad

As the sun began to set, the warm evening light slanted across her body, making her feel drowsy. She sat under a tree, with her children lying beside her. The two little ones, having had their fill of milk, were happily asleep, carefree and basking in the sunshine. The two older ones kept company with the younger ones as they basked in the sun. Perhaps it was the warmth of the sun that made everyone so comfortable, or maybe it was the beautiful autumn breeze blowing fallen leaves that rustled like a lullaby, so enchanting that the two older ones also drifted off to sleep.

She looked at the four little ones and couldn't help but smile.

Her four little babies!

Outside, the sound of a car starting came from outside. She closed her eyes and looked towards the door. The gate was opened, and a familiar car drove in. At this time, a yellow leaf fell down. She caught it with her hand, holding the leaf with a romantic air in it, and tucked it between the pages of the book as a temporary bookmark. At the same time, she closed the book in her hands.

The car stopped, and the man jumped out. He walked straight toward her, as if he could feel her presence wherever she was, instantly.

She sat without rising, just facing the setting sun as he approached her step by step. The sunset added a faint golden glow to his tall figure, making him seem almost luminous. Behind him, the clouds were ablaze with hues of red and gold, appearing both distant and close. The sunlight blurred her vision slightly. In a blink, he seemed to emerge from the fiery sunset like a deity, towering and unimaginable, noble and breathtakingly beautiful!

And he, truly was a deity, the god in her life!

Because of him, she found redemption and happiness!

This must be such a blessing to have met him, to be loved by him, and to be protected by him!

A smile crept onto the corner of her lips, and it unconsciously blossomed into a radiant one.

The man walked closer, bending down, and so a faint shadow fell upon her, enveloping her.

Thus, at that moment, her eyes cleared again. She looked at him, transformed from a deity into an ordinary man, into her man!

"Good boy!"

The man chuckled and beckoned her with a smile, extending his hand.

That low chuckle is so alluring.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of seductive charm flashing in them. She smiled and placed her small hand on top of his outstretched palm.

That hand, with its distinct knuckles, was thick and warm, radiating a strength that brought such comfort!

She held tight, and he held tight, pulling her in, and then pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly!

A familiar masculine scent hit her, and she felt a warmth spread through her.

Seeing the two hands clasped together, glowing faintly with gold in the setting sun, she smiled silently.

To hold your hand and grow old with you!

It's wonderful!
