Qingqing thought for a moment, "Dad made it tasty."
Although this comment was somewhat insincere, Second Brother Yun was happy inside.
The children were quite satisfied with the table of dishes.
It wasn’t a holiday, and no guests were invited, so Yun Xiaoxiao rarely ate out.
The taste of the food was good.
It was evident it was made by a skilled chef.
After leaving the restaurant, Second Brother Yun took the kids back home.
Yun Xiaoxiao and her family of four also returned to the Yun Family home.
They were leaving tomorrow, and she planned to cook dinner.
But when Mother Yun returned, she let her rest and took over the cooking.
Second Brother Yun came over carrying things.
"Little sister, I’ve prepared some local specialties for you."
After sending the kids back in the afternoon, he went out to buy these items.
These past few days, it was he who had been accompanying his little sister, and he intentionally didn’t take her shopping for these items; he planned to buy these specialties himself.
Compared to what little sister bought for them, these items really weren’t much.
"Second Brother is too polite."
Father Yun also saw the items Elder Second had brought.
The other two hadn’t come. This meant the other two didn’t plan to bring anything for their little sister back to Capital City.
This sibling relationship still needed more interaction; without interaction, there was none.
"Let’s eat together."
Second Brother Yun, unhesitantly, sat down to eat with them.
"Little sister, tomorrow, I’ll take you to the train station."
"Second Brother, when is your noodle shop opening?"
"The sixth day of the month is an auspicious day; I’ll open on the sixth, there’s no rush on my end."
Second Brother Yun started talking about another matter, "Little sister, you wouldn’t believe it, after I sent the kids back, they didn’t go out to play all afternoon, they just stayed home reading books. Liangliang can’t read yet, so he kept asking his sisters and Grandma for help."
Since the children didn’t love reading and no one paid attention to it, they were still managed in the free-spirited style they were accustomed to when they were young.
"At this time, they really need your encouragement. Actually, children especially love adults’ encouragement and support. Praising them even once can motivate them greatly. Although Qingqing is still young, she believes she is the eldest sister and needs to take care of the younger ones, but being the first daughter, she’s forced to take care of the little ones."
Second Brother Yun was baffled.
He didn’t quite understand.
Both Father Yun and Mother Yun were also confused.
"I’ve read some books on child psychology before, and they talked a lot about it."
Seeing everyone at the table looking at her, Yun Xiaoxiao started talking again.
"It’s not fair to always have the older ones look after the younger ones, and vice versa. We should pay more attention to the older ones."
"Qingqing is responsible, and with proper guidance, she’ll do well academically. Tingting is more lively and quicker witted than Qingqing, she might not perform as well in school, but she has other talents. For instance, her voice is very pleasant, she could learn broadcasting, hosting, dancing. As for Liangliang, he’s still young and might be mischievous, but he loves to be praised most. The more you praise him, the happier and more motivated he becomes."
Second Brother Yun blinked. Was raising children really this complicated?
Seeing Second Brother Yun didn’t understand, Yun Xiaoxiao simply summarized in a sentence, "Qingqing needs recognition, Tingting needs freedom to learn about her interests, and Liangliang just needs to be praised. It’s that simple, not complicated."
