Xiao Ye listened to Wen Shutang's instructions, calmed down, and carefully lifted the wooden support, looking solemn and serious.

Fortunately, this time it did not disappoint. The kite flew up shakily against the wind and managed to keep its footing in the air.

Xiao Ye raised his head and looked excitedly at the kite flying in the sky: "It's flying! Mom, my kite is flying too!"

Wen Shutang had been staring at Xiao Ye's movements, so naturally he noticed the kite flying up immediately. He couldn't help but smile when he saw the kite flying against the wind.

The kites of brother and sister Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan were flying at the same height in the sky. Suddenly, a shadow passed over the kites of the two siblings and rose to a higher place.

Wen Shutang looked along the silk thread connecting the kite and saw Xiao Ze standing not far away, holding a wooden support in his hand, steadily controlling the direction of the kite, looking very comfortable with it.

The brother and sister naturally noticed their eldest brother's kite. Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Ze in surprise.

"Ah, big brother can actually put it that high!"

Wen Shutang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Has Aze ever played this before?"

Hearing Wen Shutang's voice, Xiao Ze subconsciously turned his head to look over, then shook his head: "No, it's my first try."

"You can play so well for the first time. It seems that Aze is very talented in this." Wen Shutang praised with a smile.

When Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan, who were standing by, heard Wen Shutang praising their elder brother, they immediately became dissatisfied. They withdrew their gaze and concentrated on controlling the kites in their hands.

For a moment, the three kites in the sky were flying very high, and it was impossible to tell which one was higher.

Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo stood side by side, watching the children playing, and smiles unconsciously appeared on their faces.

Xiao Yizhuo turned his head to look at Wen Shutang, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.

When the sun set and it was almost evening, Wen Shutang called the children back.

"Okay, put everything away, we should go back."

Hearing Wen Shutang's voice, the children did not stay any longer and carefully took back their kites.

Xiao Wan and Xiao Ze's kites landed perfectly without any problems, but Xiao Ye retracted the kite too quickly and the silk string connecting the kite got tangled.

The silk thread was too thin and Xiao Ye couldn't untie it for a while.

Wen Shutang walked forward and took a closer look. It was indeed too tightly entangled.

"Okay, take it back first and unpack it slowly when we get back to the inn."

Xiao Ye nodded, took his kite and followed his elder brother and younger sister to run towards the inn.

After returning to the inn, Wen Shutang took Xiao Ye to unravel the silk threads in the room, while Xiao Yizhuo went out to buy dinner.

Xiao Wan was a girl who couldn't sit still, so she naturally took the initiative to ask to go out with Xiao Yizhuo. She didn't want to stay in the room.

Xiao Ze returned to his room to review his homework. He had played all day and had not reviewed his homework yet. He could not fall behind, as he had to recite it to the teacher when he returned.

Wen Shutang and Xiao Ye were the only ones left in the room.

Xiao Ye sat aside and stared at the silk thread in Wen Shutang's hand. He felt a little annoyed at why he was so anxious to retrieve the kite. If he had been slower, there would probably not be this trouble, and his mother would not have to go to so much trouble to help him.

Wen Shutang caught a glimpse of Xiao Ye's frowning brows from the corner of his eye. He knew that this child was a thoughtful person and was probably thinking about something again.

She smiled and said, "Aye, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Ye pursed his lips, then responded in a low voice: "If I had been slower and more patient in retrieving the kite, the silk threads wouldn't have gotten tangled together, and it wouldn't have been so troublesome."

"Aye, you are a naturally lively child, and inevitably you are a little impatient, so when you do things you will subconsciously be anxious and impulsive. This is your characteristic." Wen Shutang said with a faint smile.

She stopped what she was doing, placed the untied kite on the table beside her, and looked up at Xiao Ye with a serious look in her eyes.

"It is a characteristic, but it also happens to be your weakness. There is a saying that goes, 'Think twice before you act'. It means that you should think twice before you act, and think clearly about the consequences of doing something before deciding whether to do it or not. Whether it is taking back the kite today or doing something in the future, I hope you can think twice before you act, Aye, do you understand?"

Xiao Ye looked up at Wen Shutang's face and murmured, "Think twice before you act?"

After a moment, Xiao Ye nodded vigorously: "Mom, I understand. I will be careful in the future and will never be so impatient again."

Wen Shutang smiled when he heard this, and reached out to touch his head: "Well, dear Ah Ye, when you do things in the future, just think about it more often, and don't make decisions so quickly."

She turned around, picked up the kite on the table and handed it to Xiao Ye: "It's all untied. Go back to your room and review your lessons with Aze. I will test you after dinner."

Xiao Ye took the repaired kite, smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room. Xiao Ye silently took note of what Wen Shutang said today in his heart. These words had a significant impact on his future style of doing things.

The sky gradually darkened, and Xiao Yizhuo and Xiao Wan walked in from outside, holding a food box in their hands.

Xiao Yizhuo placed the food box on the table, then opened the lid and took out the exquisite side dishes inside.

"This is the signature dish of the more famous restaurant in the village." Xiao Yizhuo explained as he prepared it.

Xiao Wan stood aside and nodded: "Mom, there are a lot of people in the restaurant."

Wen Shutang walked over to Xiao Wan, reached out to wipe off the white crumbs on her mouth, and asked with a smile: "Wan'er, what did you eat again? There are still crumbs on your mouth. Did your father buy you something delicious again?"

Seeing the white crumbs on Wen Shutang's hands, Xiao Wan blushed immediately and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Hehe, mother found out about this."

Xiao Yizhuo turned around and saw the interaction between the two, and explained: "I bought her a bowl of cherry yogurt on the way back."

Wen Shutang nodded in understanding and reached out to pinch Xiao Wan's face: "So that's how it is. Okay, Wan'er, go call your two brothers over, we're going to eat."

Xiao Wan responded and then turned and went to the next room.

The family had a simple dinner, and Xiao Wan said frankly that the signature dishes of this restaurant were not as delicious as those cooked by her mother, and even felt that they were not as delicious as those of Zhaixing Tower.

After dinner, Wen Shutang took the scroll and tested Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye. Xiao Ze answered fluently without any difficulty.

Although Xiao Ye was a little stuck, he still recited it word for word, and Wen Shutang was very satisfied with it.

"Alright, go and rest. Tomorrow is the Kite Competition. You should rest well and have fun tomorrow."
