Because Old Master Wang was in a hurry to return home and cook for the whole family, lest each of them would have to find their own meal after finishing work.
Therefore, the commotion outside had died down very quickly.
Luo Ge had not yet left the courtyard when the two little ones came back carrying the wild fruits that Old Master Wang had picked for them.
"Little Auntie, have a taste."
As expected, the two little ones brought back treats and wanted to share with their Little Auntie first.
Their Younger Uncle standing by was completely like a background wall, no one spared him a glance.
"Ahem, you two finished school so early today?"
Since no one paid attention to him, he could only clear his throat to make his presence known.
Usually at this time, Older Baby and the others would still have another half incense stick before school was out.
"Mm, the teacher had some matters to attend to, so the school is closed today, tomorrow, and the day after."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinchen nodded, not asking further about the reason.
Nowadays, the students at the school were all around the same age as Older Baby, with the oldest being no more than eight years old. They were still at the introductory stage of learning.
So the school did not push them as hard as those pursuing official ranks.
Moreover, there was only one teacher at the school now, so naturally he needed to take breaks occasionally to handle personal matters.
"Well then, come with Younger Uncle. I'll teach you how to make spicy diced chicken and soup."
"Yay!"
Luo Ge was taken aback. Before she could say anything, the two little ones had already joyfully followed him.
And they seemed to be learning quite attentively...
"Dear wife, I'll go out this afternoon to take care of the chicken coop."
During the meal, Gu Jinchen gave Luo Ge a heads up about this errand.
"Alright, bring back some new clothes as well, according to Qiu Niang, Uncle Song, and the others' sizes. We'll send them over tomorrow."
They had left in a hurry yesterday, so she had forgotten to prepare spare clothes for them.
When they came out of the agency, they were alone with nothing on them.
"Sure, I'll just deliver them myself then. I can take a look at the situation over there at the same time."
"Good, also bring the medicinal paste, and request a physician as well."
We should still have Ning Xing's leg looked at. We can't just let him work while injured.
The medicinal paste was one that Gu Jinchen prepared himself, blended with some dimensional water that Luo Ge added. It should provide some benefits.
"Alright."
"Would you two like to stay home with Auntie, or come with me?"
After the couple discussed, they asked the two little ones.
The workshop had just opened today, so someone needed to stay home and keep an eye on things.
"Little Auntie."
"We'll stay home with Little Auntie."
The two little ones answered without hesitation, causing Gu Jinchen to raise his eyebrows slightly.
"Then you must take good care of Auntie, as well as your younger brother and sister, understood?"
"Mm-hmm, Younger Uncle can rest assured."
"We'll take care of Little Auntie and our younger siblings."
As the little ones spoke, their eyes unconsciously turned towards Luo Ge's belly, nodding their heads earnestly.
"Good, be obedient. I'll bring you two some treats when I return."
Hearing their words, Gu Jinchen firmly ruffled their little topknots, successfully messing up both of the little ones' hair.
The two little ones: "......"
Luo Ge gave him a helpless look. He was such a big person yet still picking on children.
The household finances were mainly managed by Luo Ge, with Gu Jinchen keeping a portion for himself.
