While the children were playing in the villa, Yang Yi was wearing a straw hat and holding onto a ladder as he accompanied Mo Henian to trim the branches and flowers in the yard. It had to be said that the weather today was indeed hot. Although Yang Yi and the old man were wearing wide-brimmed hats, their backs were soaked in the hot sun.
"Dad, do you want to take a break? Let me help you! "Yang Yi said with a smile as he stood on the lawn and held onto the ladder.
"No need. You're still young and haven't done any heavy work …" Mo Henian panted slightly as he scolded them.
Yang Yi could only smile bitterly and didn't dare to talk back.
The old man's temper was a little stubborn. Actually, there were specialized gardeners in the villa area who would come every week to trim the flowers and plants. However, the frequency of this kind of tree trimming was not that high. Usually, they would only come by once every month or two!
Of course, if you wanted, you could get someone to help you with the gardening at any time as long as you paid.
However, as an American farm owner, Mo Henian was used to being self-sufficient and working with other cowboys. He just rolled up his sleeves and started doing it himself.
It had to be mentioned that although Mo Henian and Yang Chonggui were both stubborn and didn't like to be extravagant in their lives, there was still a difference between them. Mo Henian liked to ponder over the details while Yang Chonggui, although an old man from the countryside, was still a proud young master in his bones!
If it was the same kind of gardening work, if Yang Yi suggested that the whole family roll up their sleeves and get it done, the two old men might help out. However, just like before, if Yang Yi suggested that the gardeners do the work, Mo Henian would complain about it and feel that the others couldn't do it as well as he could. On the other hand, Yang Chonggui would probably just nod his head casually and walk away with his hands behind his back. The attitude of a young master from a big family would inadvertently reveal a little at this time.
Of course, this was a little far-fetched. Yang Yi still had to think of a way to convince his father-in-law.
"Dad, I'm also from the countryside. Why don't you take a break first and have a sip of tea under the shade of a tree and watch how I do? Since you have experience, wouldn't it be better to give me some pointers from the side? "Yang Yi said with a smile.
Mo Henian pondered for a moment. This idea is not bad. Teach this kid a lesson. Otherwise, when I return to the US, who will work for me? Moreover, he could also temper this brat's temperament.
Hmph, so what if he's a billionaire? Isn't he my son-in-law?
Thus, Mo Henian came down. He sipped a few mouthfuls of tea under the awning at the side. Unable to stay idle, he came over to help Yang Yi hold the ladder. While giving Yang Yi pointers, he chatted with Yang Yi.
"Mommy is too young, so I won't talk about it. How do you plan to arrange Xi Xi's education?" Mo Henian asked, "The country has been developing well these years, but when it comes to education, I always feel that it's a little lacking. Over the years, many of Baobei's relatives have approached me to find out more about sending their children overseas. If you plan to send her overseas to study, I can also contact a good school for you. Over the years, I've helped the family a lot. I know which schools are good and which are not … "
Although Yang Yi did not think that overseas schools were good, the old man did mean well. Thus, he pondered for a moment before replying with a smile, "Dad, Xi Xi is actually quite happy to be studying in the country now. You see, she has so many friends. If you ask her to study in the US all of a sudden, she probably won't be able to adapt and won't be able to leave these good friends behind. Also, we've arranged for her to go to the best private school in the country. The teaching resources there are not bad. Therefore, I think that if the goal is to broaden her horizons, it's better to let her finish her basic education in the country. She can then consider going overseas for her future studies! "
Mo Henian did not really mind. He nodded slightly, agreeing with Yang Yi's arrangement.
"Children indeed need to have more social interactions. The children on our farm often run around with the children in town. In terms of character, they are much better than the children in the city who stay at home all day. Look at the US, there are so many autistic children." Mo Henian sighed as he spoke.
It was unknown whether he was wiping sweat or feeling sad. He gently wiped the corners of his eyes before saying, "When Xi Xi was overseas, Murphy said that she was worried that she would not dare to play with other children because she did not have a father. She was afraid that she would be autistic. Now that I see so many of her friends coming over to play with her and smiling so happily, I'm relieved."
Although the old man didn't criticize Yang Yi, his words still faintly revealed a hint of resentment. In the past two years, it had faded quite a bit, but thinking back to that time, Mo Henian still felt a little unhappy.
Yang Yi remained silent for a while before saying softly, "Dad, don't worry. We're heading in the right direction now. Things are already very good now. In the future, our lives will definitely get better."
…
The autistic young lady that the grandfather was worried about was currently surrounded by a group of children laughing and joking.
"Xi Xi, Xi Xi, I want to take a picture with the panda!" Nan Zhaoyu, who was wearing Xi Xi's cowboy hat, waved at Xi Xi, who was holding her card camera, as he walked excitedly to the large panda doll placed beside the bed.
Lan Xin, who was digging through Xi Xi's bookshelf, saw this and immediately shouted, "No, no, this is what I want to take later. I want to take a cowboy picture with the panda!"
"Alright then, you take a picture with the panda. I'll look for something else." Nan Zhaoyu could only pout and change his target.
Xi Xi, on the other hand, enthusiastically helped him find a doll. In her super big bedroom, there was no lack of all kinds of dolls.
"Zhaoyu, how about this? I once bought it from my papa. It's 18 little monk dolls! " Xi Xi excitedly took out 18 palm-sized dolls from the cabinet and shook them in front of Nan Zhaoyu.
Don't be fooled by the appearance of these 18 little monk dolls. In fact, they were from a very popular domestic cartoon. Each little monk was made into a cartoon image. They were very cute and were very popular among children.
In order to buy these 18 little dolls, Xi Xi pestered her father for a long time before her father agreed to exchange a very small amount of gold coins for the entire set of dolls.
"Okay! Xi Xi, help me set it up! " Nan Zhaoyu really liked it. He stood beside the desk in high spirits with his hands in his pockets, making a pose.
At this time, Lan Xin finally found a jar of nut snacks on Xi Xi's bookshelf that she put there two days ago. There were almonds, cashews, peeled macadamia nuts, and so on. They all tasted very good.
Lan Xin was worried that if she brought them home, her parents wouldn't let her eat them, so she hid them at Xi Xi's place. However, she was very generous to her good friends. Moreover, since it was such a big jar, Lan Xin felt that it wouldn't be a problem to share some with everyone. Therefore, after the little girl took it out, she acted as if it was her own home and asked her friends to eat.
"Xin Er, help me get some, I want to take a picture!" Nan Zhaoyu saw that everyone was eating and praising the snacks. He also felt a little hungry, so he quickly called out.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Lan Xin grabbed a few cashews and ran over noisily. She glanced at Nan Zhaoyu standing with his hands in his pockets and said enthusiastically, "Come on, open your mouth. I'll let you eat!"
Nan Zhaoyu opened his mouth, and Lan Xin directly stuffed all the cashews into Nan Zhaoyu's mouth. Suddenly, Nan Zhaoyu could only whimper. His mouth was stuffed full and he couldn't speak.
Xi Xi was busy setting up the little monk. She looked up and saw this scene. She couldn't help but giggle and say, "Zhaoyu, you can't take pictures like this! It's too ugly! "
Nan Zhaoyu still couldn't speak. He could only chew hard with an embarrassed look on his face.
At this time, Lu Xiaoyu wandered over to Xi Xi's dressing table near the bathroom in her big bedroom.
"Hey, Xi Xi, what's this?" Lu Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise. She found a set of makeup tools on the dressing table that she had never seen in Xi Xi's room before.
