Wanqi Siling
Chapter 781 Extra: On the Matter of Educating Children (1)
The spring is mild and the scenery bright, the grass grows and the orioles fly.
Yan Hui sat by the lake fishing, gazing at the scenery where the blue sky and white clouds were reflected in the lake. The fishing rod in his hand seemed to have a fish biting, but because of the person behind him, he wasn't in a hurry to reel it in.
Anyway, it's normal for fishermen not to catch fish _(:3」∠)_
"Why wouldn't I be able to sit still?"
Yan Hui simply stuck the fishing rod in the grass beside him and took the fruit that the other person handed him to eat.
"There's electricity and internet here, except... that there are only the two of us. That's not really a drawback, though. I'm living happily here!"
Ever since Mingmei took over the game company, Yan Hui had stayed by her side for another ten years or so. Watching her talent (man du huai shui) in game planning being successfully developed by him, Yan Hui finally threw in the towel.
He bought a barren planet himself to renovate it, saying he was going to retire. He didn't know what conditions he had negotiated with the main brain, but he restored Mo Wenshu's human form.
Don't ask, it's just that infrastructure construction needs manpower.
But recently, his life had been a little rough.
Hearing Yan Hui's helpless sigh, Mo Wenshu had a smile in his eyes and held out his wrist to Yan Hui.
Yan Hui glanced at his wrist silently, looking like he wouldn't budge an inch.
But soon, Mo Wenshu used his other hand to pinch his chin and point it at the communicator on his wrist.
"Uncle!"
"I'm not your uncle!"
The moment Mingmei opened her mouth, Yan Hui interrupted her, saying, "Forget about wanting me to take care of your child!"
Mingmei's next words were completely blocked.
Ah!
Her uncle really was accurate!
The year before last, she and Mu Chen had a daughter in the fourth year of their marriage, becoming the only little princess in the third generation of their family, which made her eldest brother and sister-in-law, who had two sons, and her second brother, who had a son around the same time as Mingmei, very envious.
Even Mei Jiu, who also had a son in the neighboring plane, expressed envy, jealousy, and hatred!
Who doesn't love a soft, fragrant daughter?
Even Mingmei herself thought so, and even declared that she would take care of her own child. But after this little rascal, nicknamed "Lunchbox," could walk and talk, Mingmei felt that what she thought was really too simple.
This child seemed to have ten thousand whys hidden in her belly every day, wanting to ask about everything.
Even if Mingmei begged the main brain godfather to equip her child with a smart AI, Congcong, to answer questions online every day, it wasn't enough.
Mouths never stop, and neither does movement.
Lunchbox's daily amount of exercise was simply too much for Mingmei to handle, and Mu Chen and Mingmei both shook their heads together.
This child really wanted to go to heaven and go to earth.
The rest of the family also doted on her, so that every time Mingmei and Mu Chen wanted to open their mouths to object, her parents and her older brothers and sisters-in-law all jumped out.
In one sentence, "Oh, what does a child need? Just give it to her!" Then Mingmei saw her child kicking the Zerg Queen's crystal nucleus as a ball!

She really couldn't take it anymore, she had to find someone who could control her own unruly child.
After thinking about it, recalling what she had heard Mei Shi say about the glorious history of her older brothers, Mingmei suddenly felt that her uncles were a good choice.
However, recently Uncle Ruan Xun had been too busy with a research project he had been involved in at the research institute, so he didn't have time. Mingmei could only set her sights on the other uncle, who had been missing for the past few years.
To this, Yan Hui was full of refusal.
Da me you~ (No way~)
Occupying the retirement life of the elderly is completely unethical.
"I think your mother is the best at taking care of children. Your brothers and I were all beaten by your mother when we were young. Look at them now, they've all become successful!" Yan Hui righteously tried to shift the blame to Mei Shi. "Besides, doesn't your mother also like Lunchbox very much?"
"She likes her, but it never interferes with her travels with my dad. It's like they also like us brothers and sisters, but when it comes to the critical moment, they still throw us away."
Yan Hui: "..." What is this child saying so bluntly?!
"No, think about it, didn't your dad and mom also take care of you and Mei Jiu when you were little? Weren't you two brought up very successfully? Look how well-behaved you are~"
Yan Hui's words were very evasive, implying that Mingmei herself was very well-behaved, while not mentioning Mei Jiu. Yan Hui knew the reason.
As the saying goes, nephews resemble their uncles.
It's not strange that nieces resemble their aunts.
Little Lunchbox is not old, but she already has Mei Jiu's demeanor from back then.
"If it really doesn't work, isn't she at the age to go to kindergarten?" If all else failed, Yan Hui put forward another plan, "Let the teachers take care of the child."
…
Regarding the matter of the child going to school, Mingmei was quickly thwarted once again. She made an appointment with Lu Xiaoyao at a cafe in the online virtual space to complain about this matter while drinking coffee.
"Going to kindergarten! Meimei, which one is your child going to? I'll let my Little Rose go with Lunchbox!"
"Your Little Rose... you can interfere with her going to school?"
Mingmei's question was quite lethal, and Lu Xiaoyao instantly resembled a balloon that had been punctured.
Lu Xiaoyao and Julian's child was a year older than Mingmei's, and compared to Mingmei and Mu Chen, who got married and had a few years of their own world, Lu Xiaoyao and Julian were another extreme - marrying because of pregnancy.
Originally, the two had planned to date for a few more years and enjoy the wonderful feeling of love, but this happened temporarily.
When they held the wedding, Julian's clothes were full of injuries.
His own father beat him, Lu Xuan beat him, and Marshal Lu Lao beat him, almost scaring Lu Xiaoyao to tears.
She suspected that if she hadn't been pregnant, she would have been beaten too!
Later, Lu Xiaoyao also gave birth to a daughter. This young couple was like a middleman. As soon as the child was born, the elders on both sides immediately reached a consensus and threw the couple aside.
"Then I can make suggestions..." Lu Xiaoyao stammered, raising her eyes to look at Mingmei, and said, "Since you're so reliable, my mother-in-law and my grandpa will definitely consider the school your child goes to."
"Don't, I haven't thought about it yet."
In the virtual space cafe, Mingmei sat in the cafe and sighed, talking to Lu Xiaoyao about her own Lunchbox's recent "feats", making Lu Xiaoyao's mouth gape into an O shape.
"Energy gun to kindergarten?" Lu Xiaoyao didn't understand how Lunchbox could have such a devastating weapon and bring it whenever she wanted.
"Yeah, her uncle gave it to her..." Thinking of her own second brother, Mingmei felt a headache. "Originally, she was supposed to try out kindergarten for two days, but as a result..."
Recalling the kindergarten teacher finding her with a look of horror on her face, then criticizing herself in private after sending Lunchbox away for how she could let her child take such a dangerous weapon, and saying that she was playing cops and robbers with other children, who could stand that?
But the kindergarten didn't think much about it, just criticized Mingmei first. The child went to school as usual the next day. Who knew that the next day, Lunchbox took out the Zerg Queen's crystal nucleus in front of a group of children, causing the sensors of the entire kindergarten to suddenly riot...
At a young age, she had blocked her own path to kindergarten - Mu Yimei, you really did it!
"What about your child?"
Unable to figure out the matter of Lunchbox's education, Mingmei felt that she could listen to other people's "parenting experiences", maybe Lu Xiaoyao was even more heartbroken than her.
After all, that's where the unreliability of mothers lies.
In the end, after listening, Mingmei became even more depressed.
Because Lu Xiaoyao's Little Rose looked like her mother-in-law, a dancer by profession. Her mother-in-law simply loved this granddaughter to the core, and even her own husband wasn't appealing anymore.
Louis: 6!
Little Rose had also been learning to dance with her mother-in-law since she was a child. She wasn't very old, but her temperament was extraordinary.
Her personality probably wasn't inherited from Lu Xiaoyao. That child's personality was extremely good and polite.
Every time they came to the Empire, Lu Xuan would take Little Rose around to show off, as if she wasn't born by Lu Xiaoyao, but by her.
Mingmei didn't know how to comfort Lu Xiaoyao about this.
She should just comfort herself.
After all, she still hadn't figured out what to do with her own child.
"I'm still thinking of a way to find a reliable adult to take care of the child."
Mingmei rubbed her forehead. If this continued, when Lunchbox grew up, she would definitely be a "bully" who could summon wind and rain!
"I'd better ask my uncle for help." Mingmei couldn't fall asleep while lying in bed at night, turned to look at Mu Chen, and asked for his opinion, "After all, one evil must be subdued by another."
"Yeah, but I guess you alone won't be enough." Mu Chen put his arm around Mingmei and gently patted her back, whispering, "I'll help you think of a way."
