Xiang Sizhou and Meng Tian also advocate cultivating children's independence from an early age, so that at least the simple issue of eating will not be a problem.

Yangyang asked them to play in the living room and went to the kitchen. He skillfully took the small stool from the corner. He stepped on the stool, took out fresh milk from the top shelf of the refrigerator, and took out three mugs from the sterilizer.

Everyone in the house has a mug, so he took out his father Xiang Sizhou's mug and gave it to An An.

Yangyang poured some milk carefully and slowly, then put the cup into the microwave. He skillfully chose a suitable time and did not forget to put the milk back into the refrigerator.

Then he brought the hot milk to the coffee table in the living room, where his mother Meng Tian's daily bread and toast were already on the table. He thought for a moment, went to the kitchen refrigerator, took out the blueberry jam and strawberry jam that his mother made herself, and took two spoons to the living room.

Normally, Meng Tian doesn't need to get up early in the morning because the store employees would go to open the door. But today she was thinking about An An, so she woke up at around seven o'clock.

She first went to the children's room to check, and when she opened the door, she saw that the three quilts were empty. Unexpectedly, the three children got up so early, Meng Tian smiled, and saw that An An and Yang Yang's sweaters were placed on the chairs in the room, so she picked them up and went to the living room.

As I got closer, I saw the cute backs of three little kids kneeling on the carpet next to the coffee table, eating something in their hands.

Yangyang and Xingxing heard the voice and turned around and called out "Mom". Anan also turned around and called her "Auntie".

I didn't expect that he has already eaten all this. It seems that he has been well "trained" and can be self-sufficient without the help of his mother.

Meng Tian walked over and took a closer look at what the three were wearing. Only Xingxing was wearing more.

"Are An An and Yang Yang cold? Do you want to wear sweaters?"

Both of them refused. Meng Tian touched their warm hands and saw that their pants and socks were properly worn, so he did not force them.

"Should I cook something for you?"

All three shook their heads, indicating that bread and milk would be fine.

This bread is different from the regular bread out there. The ingredients used are very healthy. She makes it specifically for those customers who pay attention to health and want to lose fat but can't stop craving for it. Because it has few additives and a short shelf life, it can only be kept for two days in winter.

This bread was just made yesterday, so I feel safe giving it to them for breakfast.

When Xiang Sizhou returned to the room, he was also awakened by his wife's noise. He asked in a daze:

"Are they up already?"

Meng Tian went back to bed and lay down. The warm quilt was so comfortable. She breathed a sigh of relief and said,

"I can take care of myself. I know how to heat up milk before drinking it, and I know how to use jam on bread."

Xiang Sizhou also laughed, and the two whispered something and fell asleep again. In the winter, only energetic children want to get up early.

I took a nap and slept until after ten in the morning. Xiang Sizhou walked out of the room and heard the sound of the TV in the living room. Three children were playing with toys while listening to English cartoons on TV.

Xiang Sizhou walked over and found that although the three children were not looking at the TV, they were occasionally reciting a few lines from the TV.

When Xingxing and Yangyang were two years old, Xiang Sizhou and his wife enrolled them in early childhood education classes taught by foreign teachers. It is not that there are too many children, but that children's adaptability is beyond adults' imagination. Creating a foreign language environment from an early age is much easier than learning a new language when they grow up.

Xiang Sizhou didn't expect that An An's English pronunciation and proficiency were so good that she was like a native English speaker. But didn't An An grow up in Milan? As far as he knew, she should speak Italian.

He greeted them and said good morning. The three little ones raised their heads and responded, their voices of "Dad, Uncle" blending together.

Xiang Sizhou walked over, squatted down and looked at his nephew who was splicing deformed car parts. Seeing his fair and chubby smiling face with a focused and serious expression, as if he was doing something very important, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch him and said with a smile,

“An’an’s English is great.”

An An smiled and nodded, then continued to play with her toys.

"Does An An usually speak English?"

"I used to speak it often in Milan. Now my mother can speak English to me and Italian to me."

It turns out that it is more convenient for those who grew up in a multilingual environment.

"Is An An taking any extra-curricular English classes now?"

An An shook his head. The kindergarten he and the twins attended was an international bilingual kindergarten, so when he was in school, the communication between him and the teacher allowed him to maintain his English sense and familiarity. He didn't need to study deliberately now, as he could switch back and forth between English, Italian and Chinese very smoothly.

The teachers at school saw that he was good at English and liked to communicate with him. Especially those teachers who knew a little Italian liked to talk to An An the most. Sometimes An An even had to teach him some words and expressions.

Although Xingxing and Yangyang’s English is also very good, after making such a comparison, Xiang Sizhou feels that the environment does have an irreplaceable and huge influence.

Should I work harder in the future to create a better environment for Xingxing and Yangyang? It is said that children should win at the starting line. After becoming a father, Xiang Sizhou increasingly feels that he, as a parent, is the starting line for his children.

Xiang Sizhou touched An An's head, stood up and went to the kitchen, soaked all the used dishes on the table in the sink, heated some milk for himself and his wife, took the bread and walked back to the room.

-

Lunch was made by Meng Tian. She likes cooking and has all kinds of kitchen utensils at home. She quickly made five dishes and a soup in just over an hour.

After lunch, Meng Tian drove to the store by herself, while Xiang Sizhou took the three children to their parents' home.

As soon as they stopped at the gate of their yard, they happened to meet their next-door neighbor who was watering flowers in the garden.

When Xiang Sizhou sent the twins over, Xiang's mother had already introduced them to each other, so he took the initiative to say hello this time.

"Aunt Guan."

Guan Hong smiled and nodded in response. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the back door of the car opened. First Yang Yang got out, followed by his sister Xingxing, and then a small figure appeared.

It’s An An.

Guan Hong's face lit up with joy, but also a little surprise. She didn't expect that it would be Xiang Sizhou who sent An An over.

This is her grandson, Yinyin’s child.

Guan Hong had seen An An yesterday. She even brought her own snacks to Tian Jie's house and spent the whole afternoon with Tian Jie and the three children. She didn't stay for dinner because it was too much of a bother. She was very satisfied to spend an afternoon with her grandson, even if he called her grandma with the word "Guan" in it.
