Chapter 2538 Pulling her into his circle
"They are evenly matched."
Zhan Yue had great confidence in his nephew and would not underestimate Su Meng, believing that the Su family's children would be even more skilled in martial arts.
Sure enough, a dozen minutes later, the two children stopped fighting and lay on the ground, panting. Neither of them had lost nor won; it was a draw.
After a while, the baby got up from the ground, walked over to Zeng Xiaoya and said, "Aunt Zeng, can I swing with you?"
"all right."
"Aunt Zeng, I want to sit too."
Su Meng ran over, wanting to sit on the swing as well.
Zeng Xiaoya simply stopped sitting and made room for the two little ones. Unlike her, who could be easily swung, they wanted Uncle Ba to push them harder and wanted them to swing high.
The laughter echoed throughout the backyard.
Not long after, Zhan Yin and his brother arrived with their two younger siblings. When Lele and Beibei saw their older brothers having fun, they immediately let go of their father's hand and ran to their brothers.
"Big brother, second brother."
Zhan Yue called out to his two older brothers.
Zeng Xiaoya also greeted her politely.
Zhan Yin said gently, "We heard laughter coming from the backyard as soon as we stepped out of the house. The two younger ones said with certainty that their older brothers were in the backyard and they wanted to join in the fun."
Zhan Yue laughed and said, "Baby and A Meng were making such a racket that their laughter carried far. It would be strange if you couldn't hear it. Bei Bei heard her brother's laughter, so she can be sure that he was in the backyard."
"I don't have a children's playground here. I've planted almost entirely trees. The two of them climb trees to look at bird nests, swing on swings, and exchange kung fu tips. They have a lot of fun."
They never get tired of playing it repeatedly; in fact, they get more and more obsessed with it.
Zhan Yue always felt that his nephew was too sensible and lacked the mischievousness of a child. But today he realized that he still knew too little about his nephew.
If the baby has a playmate, they can tear the house apart and the sky apart; they're very mischievous.
“You can clear some space and buy some children’s play equipment and install it. Then your nieces and nephews will have a place to play when they come over.”
Zeng Xiaoya suggested that it be authentic.
In her eyes, Zhan Yue's villa was too big, with a large front yard and a large back yard. The front yard had a basketball court, a swimming pool, several flower beds, and an open-air parking lot.
The backyard was even bigger, and he planted trees all over it, so it wasn't really fun for the kids.
Zhan Yue said, "That's true. Then I'll have someone cut down some trees, buy some outdoor fitness equipment, and outdoor slides that the children like to play on, and build those castles that the children like to play on."
"Uncle Ba, it should be like the amusement park at the old house."
The baby overheard the adults' discussion and shouted loudly.
Zhan Yue laughed and said, "Uncle Ba's place is small, so we can't build an amusement park like the old house for you to play in. It's good enough that we have a slide and a small castle for you to play in."
He then said to Zeng Xiaoya, "Our old family home has a children's playground. It was built by my grandmother for my brothers and me. After the baby was born, my grandmother had all the equipment in the playground replaced with new ones."
"It's just as good as any amusement park outside; it has all the rides that kids like."
Zeng Xiaoya laughed: "Poverty has limited my imagination."
Ordinary people pay to go to amusement parks, but the Zhan family built an amusement park at home for their children, so they could enjoy all kinds of rides without having to go outside.
"Playing every day gets boring and it's not exciting anymore. When the kids are a little older, we'll take them to a horse farm to learn to ride horses. We need to give them something new and exciting."
"Xiaoya, can you ride a horse?"
Zhan Yue asked her.
Zeng Xiaoya shook her head. "I can't ride horses. The only time I've seen horses is on TV or at the zoo, but we don't go to the zoo often because the adults in my family are too busy to take us."
"When I was a child, if I wanted to go to the zoo, I had to wait a year until the Lunar New Year. Only when some of the adults in my family took a day off would they take us to the zoo for a day. When I got a little older, my studies became more demanding, and I had even less time to go out and play."
Zeng Xiaoya recalled her childhood. It seems that she studied, not because her family forced her to, but because she studied voluntarily from a young age.
I know that if I don't study hard, I will only get further and further away from my goal.
Therefore, they all study very hard and never need their parents to manage or tutor them. They maintain their excellent grades through their own efforts.
Before she met Zhan Yue, she thought that the childhood of children from wealthy families was spent taking all kinds of classes and learning all kinds of arts. She felt that people from wealthy families were proficient in everything from music and chess to poetry and painting.
Those skills aren't innate; they require daily, arduous practice to master.
After getting to know Zhan Yue and seeing how the Zhan family indulges their children, I realized that they value a balance between work and rest. They arrange a lot of learning for their children, but they also give them the opportunity to play freely.
They will also play wildly with the children, so that when the children grow up, their childhood memories will be filled with happiness, unlike hers where all she remembers is studying.
Regarding the Zhan family's rating, Zeng Xiaoya quietly raised it to 90 points. This is not the final rating; she will definitely continue to raise it in the future.
"Do you want to learn to ride horses? My family also has a horse farm. If you want to learn, come to my horse farm and I will teach you to ride for free. Others have to pay a lot of tuition fees to learn."
Zhan Yue laughed and said, "We're neighbors now, and you've helped me so much. My grandma really likes you. I won't charge you tuition; I'll teach you horseback riding for free. How about it? Interested?"
“If you’re interested, we can go learn to ride every time you take a vacation.”
Zhan Yin and Zhan Yichen exchanged glances, then looked at their eighth brother, and silently walked over to watch the children play, not wanting to disturb their eighth brother's pursuit of his wife.
Zeng Xiaoya said, "I feel a little embarrassed to teach for free. How about you charge some tuition fee?"
"Okay, I'll give you a discount and charge you less. Just let me know when you want to go, and I'll take you there and personally teach you riding skills. My brothers are all pretty good riders."
After all, they own a horse farm, so it's easy for them to learn riding skills.
"Do you want to go to the zoo? I'll help my brother and sister-in-law take care of their child sometime, and we'll go to the zoo together. Do you want to come along?"
"We'll see. It's hard to say right now. We can't be sure when I'll be able to take a vacation."
“Okay, whenever you’re free and want to go, let’s go together. My brother and sister-in-law often drag me over to take care of the kids on weekends, while they go out on dates and enjoy their happy time together.”
"If I complain a bit more, they'll say it's because I'm a single dog, without a wife or kids, so I can only end up as a nanny."
Zeng Xiaoya laughed and said, "Then you should hurry up and find a girl to marry, have a few kids, and then have your younger brother help you take care of the kids so you can go out on dates."
