Zhang Hualian placed a chicken drumstick directly into Ding Ling’s bowl, saying, "If you like it, eat more. This time, I made a dozen."
"Thank you, Aunt."
Ding Ling looked satisfied; her favorite was chicken drumsticks, especially the ones made by Zhang Hualian, which suited her taste.
"Aunt Ding, Grandma Zhang makes the crispiest chicken drumsticks." Chenchen’s soft voice rang out. She was biting into a drumstick, her small mouth gleaming with oil. She said, "Grandma, can you make crispy chicken drumsticks next time?"
"Sure, I’ll make them for you next time."
With a smile, Zhang Hualian wiped Chenchen’s mouth, saying, "Eat slowly, no one is competing with you."
At the dinner table, laughter filled the air, and Tang Yue’s heart felt warm and soft.
"Mom, you’re not leaving, are you?"
Before bed, Chenchen clutched Tang Yue’s hand, looking expectant.
"I’m not leaving. Tomorrow I’ll take you and your brother to school, okay?" Tang Yue kissed Chenchen’s sweet face, making Chenchen giggle. She laughed sweetly, saying, "Alright, I like it when Mom takes us."
"Go to sleep now."
Tang Yue gently patted Chenchen and tucked Zaozao in, about to leave when Zaozao said, "Mom, when I grow up, I’ll protect you and won’t let anyone bully you."
Though Zaozao was young, he spoke earnestly, and those dark eyes were full of determination.
Tang Yue was taken aback, thinking Zaozao must have heard something. Instead of laughing at him, she replied seriously, "Alright, I’ll wait for our little man to grow up."
"I’ll eat more."
Zaozao added, and Chenchen sat up suddenly, unwilling to be outdone, saying, "Mom, when I grow up, I’ll protect you too. My fists are strong."
Chenchen waved her small fist in the air.
"Pfft~" Tang Yue looked at her two children, her heart soft as water. She said, "Good, I’ll wait for you both to grow up."
"For now, go to sleep quickly so you can grow tall."
Tang Yue pushed Chenchen back into bed, insisting they sleep early. Returning to her room, she couldn’t hide the smile on her lips, feeling proud, feeling proud, feeling happy!
Her two children already knew how to care for their mother.
"Honey." Si Yu embraced her, his dark eyes watching her, seemingly asking: Why are you so happy?
"Si Yu, you don’t know what Zaozao and Chenchen just said." Tang Yue mimicked Zaozao and Chenchen, especially when Zaozao said: "Mom, when I grow up, I’ll protect you and won’t let anyone bully you." Tang Yue was deeply moved.
Why are her son and daughter so lovable, so endearing?
"They should protect you when they grow up." Si Yu thought that was a given; Chenchen was a girl, but if Zaozao didn’t know to protect his mother, he would definitely scold him.
Suddenly, Si Yu said, "Honey, I see Zaozao and Chenchen are not that young anymore. How about I take them to stay at the company during the winter break?"


Tang Zhengde’s body is increasingly unsuited to Jing City’s climate.
