Study on the second floor.

　　This is Shen Shuo’s study room. The three brothers are in the study room now.

　　The study is big enough, so adding two smaller ones is no problem.

　　It’s just that Shen Chu and Xie Shiming’s schedule was different from that of Shen Shuo and the others.

　　However, outside the window is the back garden, and the view is very good. One can almost see the whole picture of the back garden. Naturally, one can also see the figures outside – two adults and two children, each fiddling with something under the shade of the tree.

　　The object held in one hand was short, fat and round, while the object held in the other hand looked like a morning glory with a long branch.

　　Shen Yi was the most restless among the three. Listening to the occasional noise coming from outside, he would look up from time to time, frowning, baring his teeth, with a changing expression. It was as if there was grass growing under his butt, and his mind couldn’t help but fly outside.

　　”Brother, that little fat guy is so annoying.”

　　”That’s your brother.” Shen Shuo was writing big characters and said without raising his head.

　　Shen Yi grumbled, “But he always goes against me and doesn’t like to call me second brother.”

　　”Besides, Ming is our biological brother, right? And that little fat boy caused you, the big brother, to be punished by your grandfather. Why are you speaking for that little fat carrot? Look at how he is raised by his parents, like a big fat white carrot.”

　　While Shen Yi was muttering, he moved the black ink on his left hand to his right hand.

　　He didn’t practice calligraphy, but was painting Chinese paintings.

　　However, compared to practicing musical instruments, painting Chinese paintings seems a little absent-minded.

　　At this moment, a hand stretched out in front of him, put the stack of black ink back to his left hand, put it together with other colored inks, and then arranged them in order, with two circles stacked on top and three circles stacked on the bottom, arranged like five rings.

　　Shen Yi held Shen Sui down with a sullen expression on his face, and whispered, “Big brother’s brush stand is messy, and the inkstone is tilted. Why don’t you go to big brother’s place? You only know how to mess with me!”

　　Shen Sui had a look on his face that said “Are you stupid?”, and he spoke with confidence and clarity –

　　”First of all, I’m not making trouble.”

　　”Secondly, I didn’t go because I didn’t dare.”

　　Shen Yi was so angry that he pinched him: “Do you still know that I am your elder brother?”

　　”Just about half an hour.”

　　”Half an hour is also a long time!”

　　Shen Sui analyzed rationally: “We were both born naturally by our mother. You were on the bottom and I was on the top, so you came out first. But if our mother had a caesarean section, the one on top would have come out first, so I would be the older brother.”

　　”It’s just a different way of being born that leads to different results.”

　　Shen Yi narrowed his eyes: “So?”

　　Shen Sui’s final conclusion: “You got a bargain.”

　　Shen Yi: “…I’ll strangle you to death!”

　　”No matter what, I am older than you now, so hurry up and—”

　　“Beep——”

　　Suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

　　Shen Sui blinked and opened his mouth towards Shen Yi: “Beep.”

　　Ahhhh!

　　This little fat guy is here to defeat him!

　　Shen Yi looked out the window angrily. When he turned around, he found that Shen Shuo had stood by the window and was looking out.

　　”Brother, don’t you care about him?”

　　Shen Yi frowned: “If he keep learning this, I’ll be fed up.”

　　Shen Sui said at the side: “It’s quite lively.”

　　Shen Yi looked over with a look of =_= on his face again.

　　Shen Sui: “Don’t you think that the past two days since you came back to Grandpa’s place this month have been more lively than before?”

　　Shen Yi pursed his lips and muttered softly after a while: “He has an easier life with grandpa than us, and once he starts crying, mom and dad can’t do anything about him, even if he cries for a long time and drools.”

　　Just as he finished speaking, someone pressed Shen Yi’s head.

　　Shen Shuo looked down and said, “You keep talking about Chuchu, why don’t you mention Ming?”

　　“Yes.”

　　Shen Sui then said, “Didn’t Ah Ming call you second brother a few times? Why don’t you mention it?”

　　”You care about your brother a lot?”

　　”Who…who cares?!”

　　Shen Yi was about to explode, and repeated: “Who cares about that little fat guy?!”

　　Shen Sui tilted his head: “The younger brother I’m talking about doesn’t necessarily mean Chuchu, right?”

　　Shen Yi: “…”

　　Just strangle him to death!

　　At this time, Shen Shuo looked out the window again, and Shen Yi and Shen Sui followed him.

　　I saw the little fat boy rushing in one direction. It turned out that Shen Mingzhou and Su Luoyue came back together. One of them picked up Shen Chu, and the other squatted down and rubbed Xie Shiming’s head. Just looking at them, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

　　”Look, I’ll tell you.”

　　Shen Yi suddenly said, “Look at how well his parents raised him. When he smiles, it’s like a radish blooming.”

　　Shen Shuo said nothing and turned away.

　　Shen Sui took another look at him, and finally patted Shen Yi on the shoulder: “Actually, you are fine.”

　　”What?”

　　”You’ve gained weight in the past two months.”

　　”What?!”

　　Shen Yi covered his face in horror: “I’m fat? How much fatter am I?!”

　　Shen Sui shook his head and turned away.

　　…

　　Nearing noon, Su Luoyue said she wanted to cook a few dishes herself.

　　She went out in the morning and met a director with He Lin. She got a good script, which was a movie script. She planned to take a few weeks off before filming and study the script carefully at home. As for other work, she would postpone it if possible.

　　Although her popularity and traffic have been high since her comeback, it has not been long since she participated in a variety show with Shen Yi, and while it is still on the air, they have become the most popular mother and son, and the discussion and popularity have exploded.

　　Not only her, but Shen Yi also received various invitations, and it could even be said that they were continuous.

　　For example, business endorsements, program interviews, parent-child live broadcasts, and even invitations to other variety shows.

　　But Su Luoyue got He Lin to agree to only a few of their requests.

　　The main reason is that school is about to start, and she wants to reduce Shen Yi’s exposure. After all, the most important thing now is studying.

　　The reason why she agreed to participate in this parent-child variety show was not only because the director invited her sincerely countless times, but most importantly, Shen Shuo and his brothers had just returned from the old house not long ago, and Su Luoyue had just decided to make a comeback. She thought that she should find an opportunity to spend more time with the children. However, after asking the three children, only Shen Yi was more willing to participate.

　　Su Luoyue did not participate in this variety show for the sake of her career. She was even prepared for mediocre response after the show was broadcast. Even if it affected her reputation and she wasted more than two months of her time, she was willing to participate in the variety show. However, she did not expect that the final broadcast effect would be beyond her expectations.

　　But when I get along with children, it seems like there is something between us.

　　Shen Yi is like this, not to mention Shen Shuo and Shen Sui.

　　The main purpose was not achieved. Su Luoyue didn’t even care about seizing the opportunity to reap the benefits of the program. After contacting the director she had met before and negotiating the script, she decided to continue her vacation for a few weeks so that she could have time to stay at home.

　　On the one hand, in addition to being able to study the script carefully, on the other hand, I can also take care of the children personally.

　　She wanted to start by cooking and making some meals that her children would like.

　　Shen Sui was the most honest. When asked what he liked to eat, he directly listed a few dishes, with a combination of meat and vegetables. He even told me what kind of soup he liked to drink. At the end, he added that if you asked about breakfast and dinner, there would be a difference.

　　It’s really very comprehensive.

　　”Okay, Mom will ask you again tonight and tomorrow morning.”

　　Shen Sui thought for a moment and said, “I can write it down for you later. There’s quite a lot. I’m not picky.”

　　Su Luoyue thought about it, bent down slightly, and touched Shen Sui’s head: “Mom wants to ask you before dinner, mainly to know what you want to eat right now. Whatever you want to eat, Mom can make it for you.”

　　Shen Sui blinked and said “oh”.

　　Then he added: “Then I will think about it carefully.”

　　This sentence instantly made Su Luoyue’s nose a little sour. She quickly patted Shen Sui’s head, and asked Shen Yi what he wanted to eat later. After asking Shen Yi, she turned her gaze and finally set her eyes on Shen Shuo.

　　It’s not that she intentionally put Shen Shuo at the end, but when facing Shen Shuo, Su Luoyue actually felt “daunted”.

　　The person she owes the most is probably her eldest son.

　　So in front of Shen Shuo, Su Luoyue usually couldn’t muster up the energy.

　　Sometimes she even spoke cautiously, as if she was afraid of angering Shen Shuo.

　　In front of Shen Shuo, Su Luoyue is the least confident.

　　At this moment, she spoke to Shen Shuo with a kind of “fawning”: “Xiao Shuo, mom will make more sweet dishes later. You actually like sweet dishes, right? Then I will–“

　　”Don’t bother.”

　　Shen Shuo interrupted Su Luoyue and said calmly: “There are too many meals to cook, so you don’t have to cook mine.”

　　”It’s no trouble.”

　　Su Luoyue explained anxiously: “This is not a problem, I just want to do it for you-“

　　“But I can eat anything.”

　　Shen Shuo looked at Su Luoyue: “I can actually eat anything. It doesn’t affect anything. After all… after all, I have been living like this since I was a child. There is no such thing as whether I like to eat or not, whether I want to eat or not. I have never thought about it.”

　　…

　　Su Luoyue turned and went to the kitchen, and Shen Mingzhou followed her in again.

　　There is usually nothing to do before lunch, so you can arrange it yourself. Shen Songguo usually stays in his study and only comes down for lunch. So now that Su Luoyue and Shen Mingzhou have left, only Shen Shuo and the others are staying in the living room.

　　Shen Chu practiced suona for a long time in the morning, and his cheeks were a little sore from playing. He didn’t want to talk much, but he looked in the direction of the kitchen, then at his brothers, and finally set his eyes on Shen Shuo, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

　　He had seen too many such awkward interactions before.

　　I should have gotten used to it a long time ago, but now that I have pulled myself out of the inner world of “turning a deaf ear to the world outside the window and focusing on reading the books of sages”, I find that the current situation is actually so uncomfortable…

　　It shouldn’t be like this.

　　We can’t continue like this.

　　So how do we change that?

　　Shen Chu looked at Shen Shuo, whose surface showed no emotion at all, then looked at Shen Yi, who wanted to speak before but was speechless at this moment, then looked at Shen Sui, who was extremely smart but sometimes surprisingly strict, and finally turned his gaze to Xie Shiming who was still wandering around… He felt that there was a long way to go.

　　But he couldn’t handle the grown-up Shen Shuo and the others, and now he’s facing the smaller versions of these, he still can’t handle them?

　　After thinking about it, the little fat boy tilted his head, took Xie Shiming’s hand, and said to Shen Shuo –

　　”Brother, my brother and I want to watch cartoons!”

　　Xie Shiming: “?”

　　”Brother, you might like to watch it too, let’s watch the Digimon we watched before!”

　　This time it was Shen Yi and Shen Sui’s turn: “?!”

　　They both looked at Shen Shuo – Brother, do you like watching cartoons? ! Really? !

　　Shen Shuo: “…”

　　He felt the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

　　”It’s okay, big brother. If you like someone, just be brave and say it out loud!”

　　Shen Chu not only utter nonsense, but also put his hands on his hips, with his chubby belly sticking out, and continued in a very loud voice: “We must bravely fight against the evil forces! The more we are told not to do something, the more we must do it. Big brother, you are the chosen child, wake up quickly! Big brother beast!”

　　Shen Sui tried to hold back, but couldn’t help but ask, “Is Big Brother the chosen child or some beast?”

　　Shen Chu: “Is it not possible to be both?”

　　”That evil force…”

　　The little fat man raised his head: “Of course -“

　　”What is it, of course?”

　　A majestic voice suddenly came from behind, scaring Shen Chu so much that he shrank his neck. Oh no.

　　He turned around and saw Shen Songguo coming down from upstairs, looking at him with a fierce face and frowning brows.

　　”Are you going to take your big brother to watch cartoons again?”

　　Shen Songguo came closer and said, “I think you haven’t learned enough! You haven’t practiced enough!”

　　The little fat boy blinked and said, “Then Grandpa, can I continue to play the suona?”

　　Shen Songguo paused: “…There is no need to rush into anything.”

　　“Learning things is also true.”

　　Shen Songguo looked at Shen Chu and said, “Haven’t you finished learning today?”

　　Otherwise he wouldn’t have come down from the third floor.

　　”I’ve finished learning.”

　　Shen Chu nodded: “So can I watch cartoons now?”

　　”Or I can play the suona for a while longer.”

　　The little fat boy said sincerely and seriously: “It’s okay, Grandpa. I don’t mind being tired. It’s a good thing to learn more.”

　　Shen Songguo: “…”

　　He took out his past thoughts on major company decisions, weighed the pros and cons for two seconds, and finally spoke with difficulty –

　　”Never mind, you can see it before dinner.”

　　”Then I want my brothers to watch it with me.”

　　Little Fat Shen Chu pointed his fingers at the soldiers and generals one by one, and his fingers were literally jumping on the blue veins on Shen Songguo’s forehead.

　　”No……”

　　”Then I don’t want to watch it myself, I’d better go play the suona.”

　　“…”

　　Shen Songguo felt that he was trapped in a vicious circle, but he couldn’t get out.

　　Half a minute later, Shen Yi looked at the TV and felt it was particularly magical. Then he looked at Shen Chu who was sitting next to Shen Shuo and Xie Shiming. It was as if he saw a magical ball again! So great!

　　Shen Sui touched his chin – or maybe it is the suona that is truly great?

　　Shen Shuo…

　　Shen Shuo didn’t expect that Shen Chu would succeed again.

　　And it was this scene right now – in the living room of the old house, the TV was on, and cartoons were playing… This was a scene he had never seen before, and it was something he had never thought of. Sitting on the sofa at this moment, Shen Shuo even had his back straight.

　　As I was thinking about something, I suddenly felt a soft touch beside me.

　　”Brother, look quickly.”

　　Shen Chu came closer and whispered, “It’s almost time for dinner. We don’t have much time.”

　　”How about we secretly ask mom to cook a few more dishes?”

　　The little fat boy tilted his head and looked up at Shen Shuo: “Brother, what do you want to eat?”

　　Shen Shuo was suddenly stunned.

　　On the other side, Xie Shiming looked at Shen Chu leaning towards Shen Shuo and couldn’t help but frowned——

　　Are you going to be next to Big Brother?
