Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 176 Picking up the child

After dinner, the family chatted for a while in the living room and then went to rest.

Lou Zhenghua also knew that Li Ping'an had worked hard this time. So he didn't rush to ask him about his trip. He planned to wait until Li Ping'an had a few days' rest before asking him.

Lou's mother took the children to the second floor to rest, and Li Ping'an went to the third floor with his three wives.

Now that the children are older, they have all moved to the second floor.

Three girls share one room, and five boys share two rooms.

The old couple Lou Zhenghua also live on the second floor, and it is Lou's mother who takes care of them whenever there is something going on.

Li Ping'an returned to the third floor and fell onto the big bed.

Then he stretched out his hand and hugged Lou Xiaoe in his arms.

As the saying goes, a little separation is better than a new marriage.

Li Pingan, who had been away from home for more than half a year, missed his wife so much that he could not stop talking about it all night.

This also resulted in Li Pingan being absent the next morning as he was supposed to check on the children's practice.

None of the four people came down to eat breakfast.

There was no other choice, so Lou's mother took Liu Mi and sent the children to school.

Li Pingan and his companions slept until noon before waking up quietly.

When Yu Li and Lou Xiaoe saw the time, they immediately became anxious.

They still had to go to work at the company, but they didn't expect to sleep until this time.

Yu Li complained as she put on her clothes: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier? I'm going to the company now. I'm afraid everyone will laugh at me."

Lou Xiaoe also echoed, "I have a meeting to attend today, this is over."

Li Pingan lay in Miyuko's arms and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my dad will ask for leave for you. Just take a day off at home today. This is our own company, who dares to say anything bad about you?"

Hearing this, Lou Xiaoe looked at the half-finished clothes on her body.

She and Yu Li looked at each other and felt that what Li Pingan said made sense.

I have worked so hard for so long without a break, and now that Li Ping'an has finally come back, I'll just take this as a break.

So, the two of them stopped cleaning up and stayed with Li Ping'an in bed again.

The three women chatted with Li Pingan about what happened after he left.

Li Pingan was also enjoying the good times and told them about his experiences along the way.

He also specifically told Yu Li about the situation at Yu Li's family in Sijiu City.

However, Li Pingan did not dare to mention Yu Haitang's matter. He planned to continue to keep it a secret from Yu Li. As long as Yu Haitang did not say anything, it would be a secret between them.

Yu Li felt relieved when she knew that everything was fine at home.

After such a long time, she has gotten used to her current life, but she still misses her home as much as ever.

What she worries most is the health of her parents at home.

The few of them chatted until noon before they ended.

After cleaning up, the four of them came down to have lunch.

Mother Lou looked at Li Ping'an and the other three with a strange look.

Yu Li was the first one who couldn't stand it. She stepped hard on Li Pingan under the table.

Li Pingan almost cried out in pain, but under Yu Li's staring eyes, Li Pingan swallowed the cry that was about to come out of his mouth.

This woman is not to be messed with.

Lou Xiao'e didn't notice, but Miyuko had seen it. She lowered her head and smiled secretly while eating.

Since she came into this family, no one in the family has treated her as an outsider.

Not only Yu Li and Lou Xiaoe treated her very well, but Lou Zhenghua and her mother also loved her very much.

Now she has deeply integrated into this big family and she also likes this family atmosphere very much.

Every day she and Lou's mother pick up and drop off the children, chat and go shopping together at home. In the evening, Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e also accompany her to talk.

You can be with the person you love every day.

She is very satisfied with this kind of life.

After lunch, Li Ping'an accompanied a few women to stroll on the street for the whole afternoon.

Li Pingan was so busy strolling around this afternoon that he began to question his life.

The three women who kept saying they were tired during lunch, went shopping in the afternoon as if they were on a whim.

Li Pingan, who was in the foundation-building stage, was exhausted from all the shopping. But the three women were still full of energy.

They were trying on clothes and bargaining in front, looking very excited.

Li Ping'an was carrying a lot of bags at the back, looking dejected.

Yu Li and the others would turn around and ask from time to time: "Ping An, what do you think of this one?"

"Honey, do you think I look beautiful in this?"

Li Pingan could only nod helplessly and kept saying, "It looks good."

"You are beautiful, and you look good in anything you wear!"

"Any color is fine, as long as you like it!"

If it wasn't almost time to pick up the children, Li Pingan felt that they could continue shopping.

On the way back, Li Pingan swore that he would never go shopping with a woman again. It was really too much suffering.

When they arrived at the school gate, Lou's mother also drove over with Liu Mi.

Let's wait for the children to come out.

After a while, I saw a large group of children pouring out of the school gate.

Li Pingan was dazzled by the sight of so many children dressed in exactly the same clothes.

If he didn't use his spiritual sense, Li Ping'an felt that he really wouldn't be able to find which of his own children was?

I saw many children throwing themselves into the arms of their parents and relatives.

None of his little ones came out, and Li Ping'an was a little anxious.

He hasn't come to pick up the child for a long time and I don't know what's going on.

But seeing that Yu Li, Lou's mother and the others were very calm, Li Ping'an did not ask. Otherwise, he would not know what Yu Li and the others would say about him.

After a while, the younger children left, and Li Ping'an saw the eight little ones in his family come out together.

It turns out that the little ones, Li Jingyan, Li Jingyao, Li Haowen, Li Haowu and others, would wait in the school every day for their older brothers and sisters to come out.

This was requested by Yu Li and others, and it is also for the safety of the children.

As soon as the eight of them walked out of the school gate, they saw their parents waiting for them at the place where they usually were.

Suddenly, these guys came trotting over happily.

They have been in school for such a long time, and the time it takes for their father Li Ping'an to pick them up can probably be counted on one hand.

Now that mom and dad are here, everyone is very happy.

Although they ran here together, it could still be seen that Li Haoran and Li Haoyu were taking care of their younger brothers and sisters, following behind them and protecting them.

Li Pingan looked at it and nodded with satisfaction. It seems that Yu Li and her family have done a good job in educating their children. They are very sensible.

Li Jingyan, who was at the front, ran over and threw herself into Li Pingan's arms.

Li Pingan also picked her up and kissed her on the forehead.

Li Jingyan said happily: "Dad, why did you come to pick us up?"

Li Pingan smiled and said, "Dad missed you guys, so he came to see if our Jingyan is doing well in school?"

Li Jingyan hugged Li Ping'an's neck and said, "Dad, I'm very good at school. The teachers all praised me for being a good child."

"Well, our Jingyan is really obedient. Can daddy bring you another doll next time?"

Before Li Ping'an and Li Jingyan could finish their words, Li Jingyao, Li Haowen and Li Haowu also came over.

Li Ping'an put Li Jingyan down, then picked up Li Jingyao and kissed her.

Li Jingyao smiled very happily in Li Ping'an's arms.

Li Haowen and Li Haowu could only watch their father hugging their sister.

The adults in the family taught them from a young age that they should not snatch things from girls, and that they should give the good things to their older sisters and younger brothers.

So they had no objection at all to Li Ping'an not hugging them first. They just hoped that he could hug them too after hugging their sister.

Li Ping'an comforted the little girl Li Jingyao, and then touched the heads of Li Haowu and his brothers.

The four older children also came over.

Li Jingyi was the most eccentric girl. She hugged Li Ping'an's arm.

Said: "Dad, you finally remembered to pick us up from school today? I guess if my mom and grandma hadn't taken you with you, you wouldn't even be able to find the gate of our school."

Li Pingan knocked on the girl's head speechlessly and said, "Go away, you are disrespectful. What truth are you talking about? I, your father, am busy with work. What else are you going to eat and drink?"

Li Jingyi shrank her head and cried, "Dad, I'm stupid to begin with, and if you hit me again I'll be even more stupid. If I don't do well in the exam, you can't blame me!"

Yu Li, who was standing next to her, smiled and pulled Li Jingyi aside, saying, "Enough, you are so grown up and still acting like a spoiled brat. Go home quickly. If your classmates see you like this, how can you be a little heroine in the future?"

Li Jingyi's biggest wish at present is to be a chivalrous woman who upholds justice, eliminates evil and promotes good. She particularly likes to practice martial arts and often helps those little girls who are bullied in school.

If she can't beat others, she will start asking for help.

Li Haoran, Li Haoyu, Li Haoyang, even Li Haowen and Li Haowu were pulled over by her to be her thugs.

With these brothers and sisters who know martial arts, Li Jingyi is like a fish in water in school.

Many young ladies call her Big Sister.

After hearing Yu Li's words, Li Jingyi quickly returned to her noble and chivalrous demeanor. Her image was still the most important.

Li Ping'an, Yu Lilou's mother and others were all amused by Li Jingyi's appearance.

This little girl never makes big mistakes, but she makes small mistakes all the time.

Parents often come to complain that their children are bullied by this little girl.

Although she was right, it was annoying because of the many things she did. Finally, she was punished by Yu Li and Lou Xiaoe, and she finally behaved herself.

The family picked up their children and drove home.

Li Ping'an's car was occupied by several little girls. Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e were driven to another car.

Along the way, several little girls chattered to Li Ping'an about what happened at school.

Occasionally, they would report to Li Ping'an about the scandals of their brothers and sisters.

Li Ping'an also listened happily and occasionally responded with a few words.
