CHAPTER 142: CHAPTER 142: SAYING GOOD NIGHT TO UNCLE

Lu Yun remembered he hadn’t asked them about their first day at kindergarten yet.

The three little ones heard their uncle asking.

So they said, "It was okay, I guess."

"What does ’okay’ mean?"

Little Su Yan: "Just so-so, I guess."

The two little ones: "We didn’t have music class either, and there were no robots to play with."

Lu Yun: "Oh, I see."

"Did your aunt say anything?"

"Auntie said to let us go to school for a few days first."

Lu Yun: "Your aunt is right, just go to school for a few days and see how it goes."

The three little ones: "..."

Su Xingwan, after finishing in the bathroom, came into the bedroom and saw them still chatting with their uncle, and said, "You’re not done talking with your uncle yet?"

"No, Auntie. We want to talk with Uncle all night."

"Your uncle has to sleep at night, and so do you. Aren’t you going to school tomorrow?"

The three little ones heard Auntie’s words and then spoke to the phone.

"Bye, Uncle!"

"Goodbye."

"Good night, Uncle!"

"Good night."

Su Xingwan thought to herself, "They must have learned the word ’good night’ from the internet, right?"

Just as she was about to hang up the phone.

The two little ones suddenly said, "Uncle, you haven’t said good night to Auntie!"

Su Xingwan paused.

Quickly said, "I don’t need it."

"Good night," the deep voice on the other end sounded.

Su Xingwan listened and felt a bit strange.

Before she could react, the two little ones were tugging at her sleeve again.

"Auntie, you also need to say good night to Uncle."

Su Xingwan paused.

Why should she say good night?

Isn’t it cheesy?

Her heart was resistant.

But when she saw the two little ones with their big, hopeful eyes staring at her and the phone that hadn’t automatically hung up yet.

Su Xingwan was compelled to say.

"Hmm, good night."

Then she heard the person on the phone respond, and only then did she hang up.

The three little ones excitedly took off their coats and snuggled into the bed.

Su Xingwan noticed: "Is it so much fun to chat with your uncle?"

"Yes, it is!"

"Auntie, we want to call Uncle every day from now on!"

Su Xingwan: "How can that be? Your uncle will be annoyed to death by you all."

Little Su Luo: "Uncle isn’t annoyed by us!"

Little Su Hua: "Yeah, Uncle really likes us!"

Little Su Yan: He just wants Uncle to buy him a laptop.

Su Xingwan pinched their chubby little cheeks.

"You guys are really getting chattier. Hurry up and go to sleep."

"Okay, Auntie!" The three little ones obediently closed their eyes.

Su Xingwan turned off the light and then returned to her own bedroom.

She turned off the light and hadn’t been lying down for long when she suddenly heard rustling at the bedroom door.

Su Xingwan perked up her ears to listen.

"Do you think Auntie is asleep yet?"

"Probably asleep by now."

"Will we wake Auntie?"

"With our quiet voices, we won’t wake her."

Su Xingwan: "..."

She was puzzled, why were the three little ones so excited tonight?

They hadn’t gone to sleep so late.

At this time, the three little ones tiptoed inside.

Three fluffy little heads peered at the bedside.

Whispered, "Auntie..."

Su Xingwan pretended not to hear.

"Brother, Auntie’s already asleep."

Then Su Xingwan heard more rustling, as the three little ones removed their coats and climbed onto her bed.

They climbed up from the foot of the bed and squeezed into her quilt.

Su Xingwan: "..."

What are they up to today?

Now she didn’t know whether to wake up and send them to their own bedroom to sleep.

Forget it.

Might as well not call them out.

Su Xingwan listened to the three little ones quieting down, probably already asleep.

Then she closed her eyes and went to sleep too.

Had a good dream all night.

When she woke up, the three little ones were still asleep.

Su Xingwan checked the time, normally not a problem for them to sleep a bit longer, but now they needed to go to kindergarten, so she had to wake them.

"Three little darlings, time to wake up for school, okay?"

The three little ones mumbled and then turned over to continue sleeping.

Su Xingwan shook her head, then went over to pick them up, dressing them one by one.

The three little ones still looked half-awake.

"Auntie, we want to sleep some more..."

"Nope, who told you to sleep so late?"

Su Xingwan patted their faces: "Hurry up and wake up, or else you’ll be late for school."

With that, she firmly pulled them up again.

By now, Little Su Yan was awake and climbed out of bed to wash his face.

Su Xingwan carried Little Su Hua to the living room sofa, and then returned to the room to carry out Little Su Luo.

With such a fuss, the two little ones finally woke up.

They opened their sleepy eyes, wobbling their way to the bathroom to brush their teeth and wash their faces.

Once they finished washing, all three were alert.

Su Xingwan made breakfast.

Then she said, "What happened with you three? Why did you sleep on my bed last night?"

The three little ones played dumb: "Maybe we sleepwalked there last night?"

Su Xingwan laughed in exasperation.

"Learning to lie now?"

"Auntie, we couldn’t sleep last night so we came to your room," Little Su Hua rushed to say.

Su Xingwan: "That’s because you chatted with your uncle too late, got yourselves all hyped up, and couldn’t sleep."

The two little ones giggled.

"Next time we’ll just talk a little while."

Su Xingwan: "Finish breakfast, then hurry and grab your school bags to head to school."

"Okay, Auntie!" The three little ones chimed in together.

**

At kindergarten.

The three little ones listened to the teacher’s lesson.

The nursery teacher pulled out a new alphabet letter and stuck it on the board.

"Kids! Who knows this alphabet letter?"

The two little ones eagerly raised their hands: "Teacher Xi, we know it!"

The nursery teacher saw that it was the same two kids who knew it, though they had only been to school for two days.

But whatever English word or alphabet letter she introduced, they knew them all.

And they had already learned to count from one to a hundred.

Quite overly smart.

Then her gaze turned to the two little ones’ older brother.

This older brother remained silent; he never answered or showed interest in anything she taught.

Not like a just-turned-four-year-old at all.

"Would little friend Su Yan come over and answer this letter on the board?"

Little Su Yan was called by name, then stood up to read the letter on the board.

The nursery teacher exaggeratedly said, "Oh, so little friend Su Yan knows this letter?"

Little Su Yan said nothing.

"Little friend, why didn’t you raise your hand just now?" the nursery teacher asked with a smile.

Little Su Yan: "Too lazy to speak."

The nursery teacher: "..."

A cold and classy little kid.

The eager two little ones spoke again: "Teacher Xi! We know it too!"

The nursery teacher smiled and said, "I know you guys know it, you’re really great!"

Then she looked to the other kids: "Are there any other little friends who know this letter?"
