The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1165 - 1134: Will You Come With Me?

When he passed by the school, Li Xian got out of the car and waited for the three children at the school gate.

Because sometimes He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie were busy, when Li Xian was available, he would also pick up the children and sometimes even attend parent-teacher meetings for them, so all three children’s teachers recognized Li Xian.

Therefore, Li Xian easily picked up the children.

Since the car had gone home, Li Xian walked home with the three children.

"Xiaosan, can you make it?" Li Xian wanted to carry Huo Xiaosan, as the child was small, and it was still more than two kilometers to walk home.

"No problem, I’m strong." Huo Xiaosan said, "Uncle, I’m now exercising, you can’t hold me back."

Snake King admitted that he was choked up for a moment.

"Alright, as you wish," Li Xian said, "Today a guest came to our house, named Xuanxuan, and now she can’t find her mom and dad, so she’s staying with us temporarily?"

"Uncle, is it a boy or a girl?" asked Huo Ruimin. Their home was full of boys, the elder uncle had boys, Aunt Xiaoyan and Aunt Ying also had boys, not a single girl. She sometimes felt lonely too.

Girls like dolls, beautiful clothes, and delicate trinkets like hair clips, but boys don’t—they like playing soccer and messing around with guns and swords, getting themselves all sweaty and smelly!

Huo Ruimin declared that she didn’t like it very much.

"A girl, about seven or eight years old," Li Xian replied. "Ruimin is a good girl, will you help us take care of the little sister, okay?"

"Okay, okay," Huo Ruimin nodded vigorously. "I promise to take good care of the little sister and play with her!"

Huo Ruihua cocked his head and looked at his uncle without saying anything. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

It was Huo Xiaosan who asked, "Uncle, is this Xuanxuan sister pretty?"

So young, and he’s already concerned about looks?

"Pretty, as pretty as your sister," Li Xian said. Little Rotating Turtle was a bit silly but otherwise quite good.

"That’s good," Huo Xiaosan said. "If she can’t find her mom and dad, she can reluctantly be my adopted bride."

"Cough, cough!" As soon as he heard this, Li Xian was startled, "Oh my god, you little rascal, what do you know about an adopted bride? And why would you want one?"

Huo Xiaosan straightened his neck and said, "Uncle, don’t underestimate me; of course, I know what an adopted bride is. I was watching TV with Grandma Wang yesterday, and they had an adopted bride there. Having a wife is great; she can carry things for you when you go out, cook for you, and wash your clothes. But since we have maids at home, we don’t need that. I want to take her to school to do my homework for me..."

Er, er, Li Xian couldn’t help but wonder if this child was really Huo Yingjie’s seed.

"Haha, Xiaosan, so it turns out you just don’t want to do your homework," laughed Huo Ruimin. "Adopted brides are a product of feudal society; there are none in our new society, so stop thinking about it. Also, if you get someone else to do your homework again, I will tell mom and have her forbid you from playing soccer."

Upon hearing this, Huo Xiaosan quickly ran to his sister’s side and sweetly said, "My dear big sister, I was just joking; you can’t harm your dear little brother!"

Huo Ruihua, as always, didn’t participate in his sister and brother’s comedic acts, instead walking with his hands behind his back, serenely observing the surrounding vehicles, houses, and the pedestrians coming and going...

Catching a glimpse of Huo Ruihua out of the corner of his eye, Li Xian inwardly cursed. This little brat was definitely Huo Yingjie’s seed!

Full of cunning yet appearing very unassuming, as he grew up, he would be the type to harm without raising suspicion.

Feeling Li Xian looking at him, Huo Ruihua smiled, like a small harmless animal, yet...

No more said, it’s not his child anyway, he shouldn’t be the one worrying about it.

Huo Xiaosan chatted and laughed, then suddenly spotted a cotton candy vendor on the side of the road.

"Uncle, I want to eat cotton candy," Huo Xiaosan said. He loved sweets, although his teeth often ached from eating sugar.

Li Xian didn’t care about the money and was about to buy some, when Huo Ruihua lightly said, "Have you forgotten how you couldn’t eat last week because it hurt so much?"

Huo Xiaosan was stunned, then said with a pained expression, "Actually... actually, eating a little bit should be fine..."

"Then go ahead and eat. We have so many delicious things at home, and you just have to eat sugar..." Huo Ruihua shook his head and didn’t pay any more attention to Huo Xiaosan.

"Brother, you can’t eat that. Let’s go home and have some pastries, and then brush our teeth after eating, so it won’t hurt," Huo Ruimin advised. "Besides, there is a lot of dust on the roadside... Mom said, do you remember, last time Dad showed us dust under the microscope, there were lots of tiny bugs on things that are rotting, those little bugs will crawl into your stomach if you eat them..."

"Alright, sister, I won’t eat it. I suddenly realize I don’t want cotton candy anymore," said Huo Xiaosan, his face showing a scared expression. That was definitely not a pleasant memory.

"Good boy!" Huo Ruimin patted her brother’s head, being a qualified sister.

As for Huo Ruihua, he was quite aloof. He would point out problems, remind you once, but if you didn’t listen, he wouldn’t say it a second time.

Even with his own little brother and sister, he was just like that!

Li Xian walked home with the three children, and it was already half an hour later.

He Tiantian got home, bathed Little Rotating Turtle, and dressed her in the new clothes and shoes they had bought that day.

Because she’d just had a bath, Little Rotating Turtle’s hair was still wet and slightly curly, black and shiny.

Now that it was deep autumn, He Tiantian took out a hairdryer and started blowing Little Rotating Turtle’s hair, saying, "After I dry your hair, should I tie your hair into little braids for you?"

"Uh-uh... okay..." Little Rotating Turtle thought about how He Tiantian did Huo Ruimin’s hair every day, making her look like a little princess.

After drying her hair to about seventy or eighty percent and with it draped over her shoulders, somewhat messy, He Tiantian picked up the scissors and did a simple trim.

She usually cut the children’s hair at home herself, so she quickly finished tidying up Little Rotating Turtle’s hair.

"Once your hair is dry, I’ll tie it up into little braids," He Tiantian said. "By the way, Xuanxuan, are you hungry?"

Little Rotating Turtle nodded and said, "I am. I haven’t eaten anything since this morning."

"What?" He Tiantian was taken aback. "Then why didn’t you eat?"

"I have no money," Little Rotating Turtle said. "Without money, you can’t eat. Now that I’m human, taking something without paying is stealing."

"Oh dear, it’s all my fault," He Tiantian said. "Later, I’ll get you a little purse with some pocket money in it. Buy whatever you want to eat. The same goes for at home."

"Okay, I understand," Little Rotating Turtle said. "Thank you..."

That word "Mom" was still one she couldn’t bring herself to say.

Grandma Wang saw He Tiantian coming out with Little Rotating Turtle and asked with a smile, "Tiantian, whose little girl is this?"

Since there were few girls around, Grandma Wang also had a fondness for them.
