CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 75: CLOSEST FAMILY MEMBERS

"Auntie! The Magic Wand you bought is even more beautiful than the one we got at the supermarket last time!"

"Wow! This one is more realistic!" Little Su Hua pulled out Lin Meixue’s Magic Wand from a pile of props.

Su Xingwan had specifically chosen ones online that looked exactly like the animated and live-action versions, of course, they’re realistic.

The previous Magic Wand wasn’t really a Magic Wand, but rather a fairy wand from another cartoon.

The good thing about shopping online is not only the low prices but also the availability of many rare items.

"There’s a little surprise inside too!"

Saying this, Su Xingwan took the Magic Wand from Little Su Hua and turned on the switch.

Instantly, the Magic Wand flashed with colorful lights, and you could even adjust it to the color you wanted.

Moreover, it also played music, and with the switch, it had recorded the spell-casting moves from the magical fairies on TV.

"Balala energy! Shalala, Little Magic Fairy, transform completely!"

"Balala energy! Ming la woo, whirlwind!"

"Balala energy! Lu Talaa, Magic Fairy Aurora!"

"..."

The two little ones were mesmerized by the sounds they heard.

"Auntie! This is so amazing!" Their eyes shone even brighter than before.

Little Su Yan was standing by, equally captivated.

Su Xingwan laughed and said, "Well, you guys go play. Oh, by the way, Auntie also got you some things you’ll need for learning in kindergarten."

As she spoke, she opened another package, boxed up.

The two little ones looked up, "Auntie, are we going to kindergarten?"

Su Xingwan nodded, "Yes, yes, after this winter, you’ll be going to kindergarten."

"Auntie, we don’t want to go to kindergarten."

Su Xingwan laughed, "Every little kid has to go to kindergarten."

When the package was opened, what came into view was a pile of colorful books, not as dazzling as the previous Magic Wand props, but educational supplies.

"Wow! Such beautiful flashcards!"

"And storybooks too!"

The two little ones’ eyes lit up instantly.

"What is this?" they asked as they looked at the big screen in front of them that resembled a computer.

"This is a learning machine; these are all tools to help you recognize words. In the future, if there are words you don’t recognize, just use this pen to tap on them, and they’ll read aloud."

Saying this, Su Xingwan turned on the reading pen and gave them a demonstration, tapping on the flashcard, and they heard the word "mama."

The three little ones froze for a second when they heard the word "mama."

For Little Su Luo and Little Su Hua, they still didn’t quite understand what the words mama and papa represented.

Grandma had taught them once, but children quickly forget.

They only knew that every child has a mama and papa, but they didn’t have one themselves.

At first, they missed their mama and papa every day and wondered why they didn’t have a mama and papa, and where they had gone.

Then Auntie got better, and they no longer thought about mama and papa.

Su Xingwan thought that the three little ones would eventually grow up and return to their uncle’s home, and sooner or later know about their mama, papa, and other relatives.

So she planned to teach them these things little by little.

That’s why these flashcards started with family and relative terms.

She said, "Mama is the one who gave birth to you, you all came from mama’s tummy, and mama is the greatest person in the world."

The three little ones listened intently.

"What about papa?"

"Papa and mama were together to have you, so they are your closest family in this world."

The two little ones were puzzled.

Closest family?

"What about Auntie? Isn’t Auntie our closest family?"

Su Xingwan laughed, "Well, Auntie is too, and also your Uncle."

"Uncle?" The three little ones were confused.

Little Su Luo: Auntie actually knows Uncle too?

System: ???

It began to suspect that the current little aunt was no longer the same as the previous one.

Su Xingwan heard their curiosity about Uncle.

"Besides your mama and papa, your Uncle will be your closest family."

"Closest family? As close as Auntie?"

"Yes, as close as Auntie."

Even closer than Auntie, Su Xingwan silently thought to herself.

Previously, she hadn’t felt much, but now just thinking about the three little ones eventually going back to their Uncle and leaving her made her feel really uneasy.

The three little ones noticed Auntie seemed a bit off, so they changed the subject and said:

"Auntie, where are your flashcards?"

"Right here." Su Xingwan flipped through a pile of flashcards and tapped with the reading pen, and soon they heard the word "Little Aunt."

The two little ones held onto Auntie’s flashcard, carefully studying it.

"So this is how Auntie’s word looks?"

These flashcards not only had Chinese characters but also Pinyin, English words, and arithmetic books, all of which could be read.

Little Su Yan learned it right away after just one look, preferring these educational tools over toys.

Su Xingwan could see that Yanbao was destined to be a little prodigy.

"Auntie! We like the reading pen!" the two little ones said.

Su Xingwan laughed, "Familiarize yourselves with them, if you have questions, just ask Auntie!"

"Okay, Auntie!"

Hearing their cheerful voices, Su Xingwan’s mood improved.

She got up and gave them some space to explore on their own, while she went aside to take care of her own affairs.

Su Xingwan transferred money to Tang Muya and Zhang Qiaoqiao for the debt she owed them.

Soon after, she got a call from Tang Muya.

"Where did you get the money? You paid it back so quickly?"

Su Xingwan glanced at the three little ones having fun in the living room.

"They earned it."

Tang Muya: They??

Who’s she referring to?

Su Xingwan: "The three little ones."

Tang Muya was surprised.

"They’re that amazing?"

Su Xingwan nodded, laughing, "Yeah, the little ones really helped out this Auntie."

Tang Muya laughed at her comparison.

"But it seems like you gave me five thousand more."

Su Xingwan: "The extra is interest, and also for all the help you’ve given me while I’ve been living with them alone. You deserve it."

After all, when she had just arrived and didn’t know anyone besides the two little ones, it was Tang Muya who first offered her a friendly hand and gave her some money.

It saved her from being so strapped that she couldn’t even afford medical fees when the two little ones got sick, so she’s always been grateful to her. This five thousand was well deserved.

Tang Muya agreed and accepted it graciously.

After the call, the doorbell rang outside.

Su Xingwan was puzzled; who could be visiting her?

"Auntie, someone’s at our door!"

The three little ones shouted towards Auntie who was in the bedroom on the phone upon hearing the doorbell.
