Me at two years old, a queen!

Chapter 199 You are a young mother!

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more! Even a little kid like you knows how to worry about saving face,"

Wang Jinbao patted his bottom, gave Lu Junxing a push, and then waved to Ji Jianshu, who was quietly filling a container with sand to take back as a souvenir:

"Come here! Little Shu, my dream girl, let me take you for a ride!"

He kicked Zhuangzhuang, who was still lying on the sand howling, and gestured for him to move aside: "Go to the side and howl! Pull a tire over here and slide down!"

"Aww~, I skate by myself, hahaha~, I'm so cool!"

Upon hearing that he could ride on a tire like Shen Yu, Zhuangzhuang immediately sprang to his feet and ran towards the instructor, ready to grab a nice-looking tire and skate on his own.

"You little rascal, move aside, don't block the way, or someone will run you over! I'm counting on you to serve me tea and water when I'm old!"

Even the most timid Yangyang and Duoduo dared to slide on their own later on, while the elderly fathers and mothers sat slumped on the sand, watching them quietly.

In the end, Lu Junxing was still worried, so he got up and led the way by making a slide on the slope. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the children veering off course when they slid down on their own. The other parents followed suit and made several more slides on the slope.

Even Ji Jianshu, who doesn't particularly enjoy sandboarding, has her own designated sandboard. Lu Junxing followed behind the troublesome girl, watching her slide down safely twice before finally sitting down quietly to watch her play.

Wang Jinbao sat down with a blade of dry grass in his mouth and said, "I didn't expect this, Lao Lu. You're usually so busy with work, I thought you were detached from worldly affairs. I didn't expect you to be so good at taking care of children, and you're quite observant of these kinds of details!"

Shen Shaocheng patted the fine sand off his hands, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down next to Lu Junxing and the others.

"Yes, An'an's dad, you manage such a large business, you should be busier than me. How do you manage to handle everything so meticulously? I saw you the other day, you even noticed how much water An'an drank!"

"Sigh~ Logically speaking, I should have much more free time than you. I usually try to stay home and spend time with my family whenever I have time, but I just feel like I haven't done anything~"

Seeing Shen Shaocheng's troubled expression, and remembering that Shen Yu usually ignored him, Lu Junxing pondered for a moment and replied:

"If you take them with you for a long time, you'll naturally learn everything! The more you do it, the more skilled you'll become!"

Wang Jinbao nodded in agreement, agreeing with the suggestion. Considering Shen Shaocheng's previous situation, he felt there was nothing more to say and patted Shen Shaocheng on the shoulder.

"Cheng-ge! This kid, don't let his young age fool you, he's very shrewd. He knows exactly who's good to him. You'll have to take it slow!"

"Your Shen Yu is a smart kid, we can all see that. He cares about you. You just haven't spent enough time with him at home before. Some things, once missed, are truly missed."

"If you ask me, we all work to make a living, so let's not put the cart before the horse!"

"We work to live a better life. All that talk about how noble it is, how much work is necessary for us, is just an excuse. If we didn't need the money, who would want to work?"

Wang Jinbao had little formal education and had endured all sorts of hardships since childhood to earn money. He slept in tin shacks, ate cold meals, and wore tattered clothes. He had long since come to understand the value of work.

This is also why, after he became wealthy, he didn't want Zhuangzhuang to be like him, wasting his energy and spirit for a living and working too hard. He also didn't force his child to learn this or that or become a certain kind of person!

When Xu Tinglan arrived, she immediately understood that they were talking about Shen Yu and Shen Shaocheng. To avoid suspicion, she sat to the side. However, as a mother who had stayed home to take care of her children, she thought for a while, hesitated, and finally spoke up:

"Brother Cheng! Does Shen Yu usually get taken care of by his wife?"

Shen Shaocheng, resting his head on his arm, was contemplating whether he should stop working and return to family life when he suddenly heard Xu Tinglan's words. Confused, he got up and replied, "Yeah~, what's wrong?"

“As you know, we’re always away from home for months at a time. So, someone has to take care of the elderly and children at home, which is why your sister-in-law usually takes care of things at home!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Tinglan thought to herself, "Just as I thought." She didn't look at Shen Shaocheng, but instead looked at the children playing not far away, and said calmly, "Shen Yu is such a good child!"

"What's wrong? This is... Shen Yu is indeed a very well-educated child, thanks to his mother! During holidays and festivals, every relative and friend in the family praises him!"

After Shen Shaocheng finished speaking, Xu Tinglan turned her head and looked directly at him, calmly saying with an air of nonchalance, "If I'm not mistaken, Shen Yu is standing up for his mother, isn't he?"

Upon hearing this, even Wang Jinbao lowered his head, his usual jovial demeanor gone. Lu Junxing, on the other hand, wore an expression of deep understanding and knowing everything.

Lu Junxing ignored Shen Shaocheng's silence. Seeing the troublesome child trying to go sandboarding alongside Duoduo, he got up and prepared to discipline the child!

Xu Tinglan would not feel guilty for a man who had neglected his family affairs at this time. She got up and walked towards the top, preparing to go sandboarding!

Seeing Lu Junxing walking over and grabbing her, An An quickly covered her bottom, grabbed her tire, and tried to walk back to her track, guiltily changing the subject:

"Daddy~, why are you looking at me like that? Has my face gotten prettier again?"

"Hmph~, I'm just checking if I've become your mother hen."

"No, Dad! You're a young mom! You're not old at all!"

"Whoa~, help!"

Wang Jinbao: "Holy crap, quick!"

Zhuangzhuang, Duoduo, and the others turned to look at Shen Yu rushing down from the top, and were startled. They called out worriedly, "Brother Shen Yu~"

An'an turned her head and heard the noise. She saw that her brother Shen Yu was sliding down very fast, his whole body was tilted and he was about to fall out. An'an was so scared that she clung tightly to Lu Junxing's arm.

Struggling to get out of the tire, she looked worriedly towards Shen Yu, crying, "Brother Shen Yu~, waah~"

"Don't let go, hold on tight!"

Shen Shaocheng panicked and quickly got up and ran towards Shen Yu. His steps were not as steady as usual, and he staggered several times: "Don't be afraid! Hold on tight!"

Looking down at Shen Yu, Lu Junxing guessed the boy had slid down from the top at that speed. Seeing Shen Yu's speed increasing, Lu Junxing shouted down to Su Shao:

"Su Shao! Stop him! Quickly, stop Shen Yu!"

Even Wang Jinbao limped over, trying to catch up. Lu Junxing glanced at the distance; An'an was the most restless, so her slide was always placed close to him. Shen Yu, on the other hand, considered himself a big kid.

Having chosen the outermost slide furthest from them, Lu Junxing loudly stopped Zhuangzhuang and the others from moving, warning them not to cause trouble! He also ran over to check the situation first.

Seeing that Su Shao, separated by a slide, didn't even take a couple of steps forward to stop them, but instead picked Yangyang up, and just as Su Shao reached out again, Shen Shaocheng appeared out of nowhere.

They desperately pulled on the rope behind the tire, leaning back and trying to slow the slide. Wang Jinbao rushed over and hugged Shen Yu. By the time Su Shao reacted, Lu Junxing with the medical team and Xu Tinglan with the child had all run over.

He held Yangyang, who was crying from fright, and realized what he had just done. Somewhat annoyed, he stretched out his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Cheng! I... I was just too anxious. I was afraid Yangyang would get hit!"

"I didn't have time to react. I was about to put Yangyang down and reach out to stop you, but then you guys came over. I... I didn't have time. Shen Yu, are you alright? How did you slide down from there? Didn't you kids slide down the slope?"

"You're such a disobedient child, now look what's happened..."

"Alright, Yangyang's dad, what could a child as young as Shen Yu know? He's at the age where he loves to play. Take Yangyang and go over there. Yangyang was just scared!"

Seeing that Shen Shaocheng's palms were being pulled so hard the skin was almost raw, and that Shen Yu was too frightened to speak, Wang Jinbao realized they had both seen Su Shao try to stop him, so there was nothing more to say.

Xu Tinglan was also comforting the crying Duoduo, and even Ji Jianshu was holding Shen Yu's hand to accompany him. Seeing the situation, he also said:

"Yes! Yangyang's dad~, don't let Yangyang watch Cheng-ge treat his wound here, don't scare him, we'll talk about it later!"

Shen Yu wasn't injured, but he was quite frightened. Seeing Shen Shaocheng's injured hand, he burst into tears and couldn't catch his breath. Ji Jianshu, facing his usual older brother-like friend, felt equally helpless.

Seeing this, An'an clung to Lu Junxing, crying and refusing to let go. She was unusually quiet. Finally, Lu Junxing squatted down, holding An'an, and patted Shen Yu's head.

"A real man is not afraid!"

An'an also hugged Lu Junxing's arm with one hand and tugged at Shen Yu's little hand with the other: "Brother Shen Yu~, you're so brave~,"

An'an was also frightened when she saw Shen Shaocheng's bloodied hand. She clung tightly to Lu Junxing's arm without saying a word, afraid that Lu Junxing might get hurt like Cheng-ge. Now that she's recovered, she can comfort Shen Yu.

Seeing the children gathered together, Lu Junxing figured it was time to move on to another place for dinner. This would also give Shen Yu and his son Shen Shaocheng a chance to break the ice, so he pulled Ji Jianshu away as well.

Seeing Lu Junxing carrying one child in each arm as he descended the slightly sloping hill, Wang Jinbao looked up at his own arms and said enviously:

"Why is there such a big difference between us even though we're all human? I have all the arms and legs I should have, so why are mine so ineffective?"

Behind them, a burly boy, all fleshy and strong, followed by their clothes. Hearing this, the boy wiped his sweat, looked at An'an and Ji Jianshu with envy, and then looked at Wang Jinbao, whose arms and legs were just like An'an's father's, and said:

"Daddy, please carry me too, I can't walk anymore! I don't want to walk anymore!"

"Hug my ass! I actually want someone to hug me!"

Wang Jinbao spat at his son in annoyance, then took a deep breath and looked at Lu Junxing's back, saying, "An'an's dad? Can you carry another one?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Junxing paused for a moment, glanced coldly at Wang Jinbao, and continued walking downstairs without saying a word. It was Ji Jianshu who patted Lu Junxing on the shoulder somewhat embarrassedly.

"An'an's dad? I want to walk by myself!"

Seeing that there were only a few steps left, Lu Junxing let him be. He had just put Ji Jianshu down when he saw Zhuangzhuang run up behind him, looking at him expectantly. Lu Junxing glanced at Zhuangzhuang's flesh, which trembled slightly.

Lu Junxing thought for two seconds, then silently put the troublesome person down as well: "Stand still! Walk down by yourself!"

An'an had calmed down by now and wasn't particularly clingy to Lu Junxing anymore. However, after being carried the whole way, she wasn't particularly willing to walk on her own, and she stomped her little feet in place.

"Daddy~, hug~, mmm~, hug me~"

Lu Junxing ignored her, knowing that once he spoke to her, it would probably never end. So he shook his hand and walked forward on his own.

"Waaaah~, you stinky poop~, don't you want your little baby anymore?"

Wang Jinbao chimed in cheekily, "Oh my~, An'an, let's ignore him. You can be our little darling, no! Our big darling! Hehe~"

Zhuangzhuang happily grabbed An'an's hand and said excitedly, "Really? An'an, are you one of ours now? This show was definitely worth it, hahaha~, I have another little brother now, An'an, you're one of ours too!"

Ji Jianshu asked incredulously, "An'an? You're joining us too?"

An'an frowned and secretly sized up Wang Jinbao several times before saying hesitantly, "Hmph~, can I be the boss then?"

"Okay! You're the boss in our family!"

Without saying a word, Wang Jinbao patted Zhuangzhuang's head and said, "From now on, this one will be your little brother, and Xiaoshu will be your brother! You're the boss!"

Zhuangzhuang: "Yeah~, if you come to my house, I can let you watch my big TV. Anyway, I like iPads, and you can watch Peppa Pig on my TV~"

Seeing the thumbs-up from Zhuangzhuang's dad and hearing Zhuangzhuang's words, An'an immediately cheered: "Hehe~, I'm the boss~, I'm the boss~, la la la la~"

Zhuangzhuang: "That's right! You're my older sister, and I'm your younger brother!"

Ji Jianshu thought that made sense, shook the sand out of his shoes, and nodded: "No problem!"

An'an was so happy she felt like she could fly. Just as she was about to cheer, Lu Junxing grabbed her by the collar, and the next second she was clutching her head.

"What are you trying to do to your older sister? Why are you hitting her on the head?"
