Before long, the Lunar New Year arrived.
This year, Wen Xiaoya's parents invited both Lin Dashan's family and Lin Feng's family to celebrate in Jingcheng. They wanted to play host for once. Lin Dashan gladly accepted the invitation, and Lin Feng had no objections.
The family took a private plane to Jingcheng. Upon landing, they exited the airport through a special channel. Wen Xiaoya's parents, Lin Jie, and Wen Xiaoya were all there waiting. Indeed, a man gives off a different impression before and after marriage; he looked much more mature and stable.
A light snow was already falling in Jingcheng, and a cold gust of wind made everyone shiver.
In Lin Feng's arms, Xiaobao shivered from the cold and woke up.
"Daddy, where is this?" she asked drowsily.
"This is Jingcheng. Look, who's that?"
Lin Jie smiled. "Xiaobao, are you awake? Come on, want Uncle Lin Jie to hold you?"
Xiaobao tightened her arms around Lin Feng's neck. "No, I want Daddy to hold me!"
Lin Jie continued to coax her. "I'll tell you a secret. Uncle Lin Jie has a little bunny at his house. Do you want to see it?"
Xiaobao's eyes instantly lit up. "Yes!"
Lin Jie clapped his hands, and Xiaobao was easily won over, letting him pick her up. "Is the little bunny cute?"
"Super cute! And there are little hamsters, too."
Xiaobao grew even more excited. "Little hamsters? Are they mice?"
"Not exactly. You'll see when we get home!"
Xiaobao couldn't wait to see the little hamsters and bunny. She immediately turned around. "Daddy, hold me!"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter at Xiaobao's antics.
Lin Jie's face was a picture of disbelief. That's it? That's all it took? This little one is so fickle!
Xiaobao chattered away to her father, "Daddy, Uncle Lin Jie's house has little bunnies and little hamsters!"
Lin Feng played along. "Really? Then let's go have a look when we arrive. They must be adorable!"
The Wen family's villa was over three hundred square meters, nearly four hundred including the garden. In a place like Jingcheng, a house like this was worth a fortune. Even with the four kids, they only really needed two rooms. The villa looked a bit old but had been renovated and was beautifully decorated.
Mr. Wen greeted everyone, suggesting they all go out for dinner that evening.
Xiaobao, however, couldn't wait to see the pets. "Uncle Lin Jie, where are the little animals?"
Wen Xiaoya scooped her up. "Come on, Auntie will take you, okay?"
"Okay!" Xiaobao replied crisply.
She then shouted at the top of her lungs, "Big Brother, Second Sister, Third Sister, Fourth Brother, come and see the little animals!"
How could the other Quads dare to disobey Xiaobao's command? They all followed along one by one.
These were pets Wen Xiaoya had gotten out of boredom before she met Lin Jie. Now that her parents had free time, they had taken over their care.
Seeing the little rabbits and hamsters, Xiaobao was overjoyed and quickly turned to ask, "Can Xiaobao keep them?"
Dabao quickly chimed in, "But we have Fei Fei and Da Bai at home!"
Xiaobao let out a low "oh," but her momentary disappointment vanished the instant she looked back at the little animals.
"Ah, they're so cute! Can I pet the little bunny?" she asked. "Its ears are so long… and its eyes are so red…"
Wen Xiaoya's parents were very hospitable, arranging everything in an orderly fashion.
"This is the in-laws' room… this is your room, and this is the children's room…"
They had cleared out the rooms, providing just enough space for everyone to settle in comfortably. All the bedding and other essentials were new. The room for Lin Feng and the children had clearly been recently refurbished and prepared.
Mr. Wen smiled. "Please, make yourselves at home. Don't be formal. If you need anything, just let me know."
Lin Feng gave a slight smile. "Thank you, Uncle Wen."
Mr. Wen waved his hand. "You're being too polite!"
That evening, the group went to a restaurant in Jingcheng that was said to have great food.
The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Wen took Lin Feng's family sightseeing around Jingcheng. With the New Year festivities, the city was bustling with excitement. During the holiday, Lin Jie did nothing but spend quality time playing with the Quads. As a result, the kids were out with Lin Jie and Wen Xiaoya all day. However, Lin Feng could keep up with their activities by watching Erbao's live stream.
Erbao had taken a break from streaming from the first to the third day of the New Year, resuming her broadcasts on the fourth day. While the Quads were off enjoying themselves, Lin Feng took Zhang Yuxi and Xiaobao shopping. The festive atmosphere in Jingcheng was undeniably strong.
Xiaobao, dressed in a bright red padded jacket with her hair in two little buns, looked incredibly adorable. She was sweet-tongued to outsiders, saving her temper for her family. In the eyes of strangers, Xiaobao was a perfect little angel, a soft and cuddly bundle of joy. She was well-liked wherever she went. When they bought her small toys, shopkeepers would throw in freebies, and when they ate out, restaurant owners would give her extra-large portions.
「In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the New Year.」
The first session of the day was Dabao's class, scheduled for ten o'clock. Erbao had already announced the live class schedule on Weibo and had sent out another reminder the previous night. By now, many students and their parents were eagerly following Erbao's classes. The parents, in particular, were overjoyed to learn that classes would resume on the fourth. Their gratitude toward Erbao flowed like a mighty, endless river. On the evening of the third, parents all over were making sure their children went to bed early so they wouldn't miss the next day's live class.
After breakfast, Erbao asked everyone not to disturb her, as she would be live-streaming.
Mr. Wen said with a smile, "Live streaming is quite popular now, and so is making short videos… I hear you can make good money from it, too!"
Mrs. Wen nodded. "That's right. Old Zhou's son spent two hundred thousand on streamers recently. What a shame…"
Mr. Wen turned to Lin Dashan. "What do they stream about?"
Lin Dashan replied with immense pride, "They stream lessons. They act as teachers and educate everyone."
Mr. Wen found it quite fascinating and thought it was an excellent use of technology.
Mrs. Wen laughed. "Oh, I thought they were streaming to sell things. I hear that's very profitable."
The elders couldn't help but reflect on how much the times had changed. Things were moving so fast they could barely keep up. If they wanted to fit in with the young people, they would have to keep learning.
Zhou Cuilan looked around. "Hey, where are Xiaobao and the others?"
"They're in the yard playing with the little rabbit," Lin Dashan said.
Xiaobao absolutely adored the rabbit. Its gentle nature even changed Lin Feng's opinion on pet rabbits. While Zhang Yuxi was busy with work in her room, Lin Feng played with Xiaobao in the yard.
Dabao was live-streaming.
Meanwhile, Erbao was testing the upgraded app that Lin Jie had developed.
"This is super user-friendly, Uncle Lin Jie! The interface is clean, and the design is great! When can we launch it?"
"We can do it now if you want," Lin Jie said with a smile.
Erbao pondered for a moment. "Let's do it on the fifth day. The fifth is for welcoming the God of Wealth, so it's the perfect time for our app to go live."
"Alright," Lin Jie nodded.
Launching an app was no easy task, but Lin Jie had taken care of all the challenges. Erbao then had Sanbao, Sibao, and the others test the app, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
That night, after Sanbao's live stream ended, Erbao shared the news about the app with everyone. It would be available for download starting at midnight, allowing users to interact and study together. Erbao also planned to upload all her previous live sessions, gradually enriching the app's content.
Although it was conceived as an educational app, Erbao also wanted to earn money. Their family wasn't short on cash, but who would say no to earning more?
Unlike Dabao, who loved science, Sanbao, who was into music, and Sibao, who was passionate about sports, Erbao's favorite hobby was crafts. At the same time, she quite enjoyed challenging herself and making money for fun.
