Nanny Li Fang hung up the phone and looked at Tao Tao, the boy was very alert and asked Li Fang, "Was it my dad who called you just now?"

Li Fang was still thinking about how to tell him about it. Now that he had asked, she said, "Yes, he told you not to play so late in the future."

Tao Tao's eyes widened and she looked at Li Fang and asked coldly, "Did you tell my father?"

Li Fang said, "No. He called himself."

Tao Tao said in a loud voice, "You still say you didn't? No wonder you asked me what time I was playing as soon as I came out!"

Li Fang said, "That's because I saw you squinting, so I just asked. Your dad can see what's on your tablet.

Tao Tao said without thinking, "You're nonsense! I've been untied for a long time. Humph!" He said and raised his head proudly.

Li Fang looked at him with a mixture of anger and amusement. Fanny Guam was also amused.

Li Fang said, "So he can't be tied up again?"

Tao Tao rolled his eyes nimbly.

After a while, he bounced up from the sofa and ran into the room.

Guam Fen laughed, "In the past, children were taught to fight martially, but now they have to fight both civilly and martially."

Li Fang also laughed, "Isn't that so? It's a battle of wits and bravery all day long. Fortunately, my children are older, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to fight."

After saying this, Li Fang suddenly thought of her husband's reward to the female host. Then she couldn't laugh anymore.

In the end, I still want to think about my home and the mess in my heart. But it is not possible to understand it.

The two nannies stood quietly in the living room early in the morning, waiting for their employers to get up and eat breakfast.

After a while, Tao Tao came out and asked Li Fang, "So what did my father say to you?"

Li Fang knew that he was already looking for a tantrum these days, so she didn't tell him as Li had originally said. She just said, "Dad told you to play a little less and study more. Get some rest early."

Tao Tao rubbed his chest and said exaggeratedly, "I'm scared to death."

The two nannies laughed again.

At nine o'clock, Miss Ian came out and asked Li Fang and the girls to go and get Jun Jun up, asking Tao Tao, "What were you saying in the living room? I could hear it in the room."

Tao Tao opened her mouth to say something, but after looking at the two nannies, she was a bit embarrassed and said, "Daddy caught me playing with the tablet."

Miss Ian asked, "How late did you play?"

Tao Tao did not answer.

Miss Ian's face sank and she said, "You are too difficult to control. What can I say about you?"

After saying this, Miss Ian turned around and walked quickly back to her room. She was angry. Li Fang felt that this anger of hers should not only be due to playing with the tablet but a combination of the events of the past few days.

The two of them followed Miss Ian to her room and heard her say loudly from the inside, "Stop playing! Get up and eat and study! Every morning you have to get up and play with the tablet, you're addicted, aren't you?"

Li Fang and Guam Fen walked in and saw Jun turning off the tablet.

Miss Ian, with a stern face, was walking towards the bathroom with a box of something, probably a new cosmetic item.

Embarrassed, June got out of bed without saying a word and put on her shoes, and went back to her room.

As she brushed Jun's hair, Guam Fen whispered, "Why do you have to play with your tablet every morning?"

Jun said, "I'm in bed waiting for you to call me."

Guam Fen laughed, "So that's how it is. Then when you wake up, come out and look for me yourself. A little girl can be more active."

Jun nodded. A soft cry came out as she pulled her hair down.

Guam Fen said, "Don't move. You just remember. You should get up in the morning and eat breakfast first, then study. A day's work lies in the morning, and your memory is good in the morning."

June said, "I know."

Guam Fen said to Li Fang, "Jun is the most reasonable. She understands as soon as she says it."

Li Fang followed suit and complimented her. Jun followed her out of the living room with a happy face.

Miss Ian and Tao Tao also got up from the sofa, and the three of them went to the dining table to eat their breakfast in silence.

It is said that in a family, the mother's face is the barometer. When the mother is in a good mood, the children will chatter happily and talk non-stop.

Miss Ian doesn't say anything, and neither do the siblings.

When breakfast was almost finished, Miss Ian finally couldn't help herself. Helplessly, she spoke, "Can you save me the trouble?"

Tao Tao said, "What's wrong with me again?"

Miss Ian said, "You don't listen to anything the adults say, and you still play so late. You don't listen to what the adults say, and you stay up late playing."

Tao Tao said, "I'm going home today. It's almost time for school, and Miss Wu is going to check my homework and give me lessons for a few days."

Miss Ian had finished eating and sat down in her seat, slowly wiping the table with a paper towel, and after a while said, "Then go back. You won't be able to stay for a few more days anyway."

Jun, who had just been eating in silence with her head down, raised her head and said timidly, "Mum, can I go then? I want Miss Wu to check my homework too."

Miss Ian said, "Auntie will check it for you."

Jun immediately turned her look of help to her brother.

Tao Tao said, "Let Auntie go with you."

Miss Ian said, "Why are you going over there? Don't run around from side to side."

Tao Tao raised her voice and said, "She's at home and you always let Uncle Dong come over!"

Miss Ian got angry and also raised her voice and questioned, "Why can't you come over? Why are you always in charge of the adults' business? Every day you talk about this matter, I don't even want to talk to you more. If you want to go back, go back. My sister will stay at home."

Tao Tao looked up at the ceiling with her face held high, tears slowly building up in her eyes and running down the corners.

Li Fang and Guam Fen were in the kitchen sorting out the fridge when they watched Tao Tao cry. Li Fang wanted to go over and persuade her, but she didn't dare.

Guam Fen opened the fridge door and buried her whole face and half of her body in the fridge to sort the various dishes.

She bought some Kraft paper bags online and put all kinds of vegetables, fruits, and eggs in them in the fridge. Only some meats and cooked food are put in fresh bags.

So, Li Fang also stood next to Guam Fen and handed her something.

Tao Tao said, "Auntie, call Uncle Zhao to come and pick us up."

After saying that, she went back to her room.

Li Fang looked at Miss Ian.

With a silent sigh, Miss Ian got up from her seat and said, "Call. Let him go back."

Jun immediately asked, "What about Auntie Wang?"

Miss Ian didn't say anything more, and without touching up her make-up, she carried her bag and went out the door.

Li Fang called Master Zhao. She then went to Tao Tao's room and packed up his things, along with the clothes she changed out of last night and hadn't washed yet, and put them in her bag in a plastic bag.

I went to the balcony to collect the clothes I had washed last night and went back to my room to pack my clothes.

Jun and Guam Fen followed him in.

Guam Fen said, "You're leaving just like that?"

Li Fang looked at Fanny and said, "What else can we do?"

Fanny shook her head. Li Fang said, "It's better to go home than to be in a mood here every day."

Jun watched silently as Li Fang collected her clothes.

After all, Guam Fen had only been here for a few days and Jun Jun did not know her well. Li Fang said, "Jun jun, Auntie Guanine is very nice. Besides, you can call your mum and dad, or your brother, if you need anything."

Guanine said, "Don't worry, I'll stay with her at her grandparents' house for a few days, and then stay home when she gets to know me better. We'll carry the school bag over there and leave it there, so we'll do our homework there for a few days, right?"

Jun said, "Okay."

Li Fang laughed, "What about Big Sister Xian's face?"

Guam Fen said, "What do we care about her?"

At that moment, Tao Tao came to the door of the room and said, "Let's go to Grandpa and Grandma's house."

Li Fang said, "Then I'll ask Master Zhao not to come first. If Grandma keeps you for lunch, Master Zhao will have to wait for a long time."

Tao Tao thought about it and said, "Then forget it. What if Grandpa asks again why I suddenly want to go home?"

Jun immediately said, "I won't tell them."

So Li Fang returned the letter to Master Zhao again. Guam Fen hurriedly tidied up Miss Ian's room briefly, put the clothes in the washing machine again, and washed them on, and the group went to Master Ian's house with their luggage.

Seeing the big bags, Big Sister Xian was a bit surprised and asked, "Jun jun, what's going on here?"

Jun Jun said, "My brother is coming home and came to see Grandpa and Grandma."

Big sister Xizang's fat face was full of smiles as she said, "Oh, this child is really attractive. He even remembered to come and see your grandparents before he went home. You're starting to understand things."

With that, she followed the two children toward the house.

Li Fang and Guam Fen were holding their things behind them, so they closed the courtyard door with their free hands and followed them.

Sure enough, when they heard that Tao Tao was going back, Mr. and Mrs. Ian Lao z retained him for lunch before going back.

The old couple didn't ask any more questions, they just said, "Go back, school is about to start. It's time to go back to school. Give yourself some emotional adjustment as well."

Tao Tao obediently responded. He asked again, "Grandpa, is your body not affected now?"

Master Ian patted his chest and said, "No more effects, don't worry about Grandpa."

Tao Tao smiled and said, "Then when you have time, you can also go out for a walk and go over to play with Jun for a while."

Li Fang sat on the other side of the sofa and listened, thinking that this child had a heart. She had a delicate mind beyond that of her peers.

Mrs. Ian looked at Guam Fen and said to Tao Tao with a smile, "Every time I want to go, I find it troublesome to go in and out of the post. Good! We'll listen to you from now on. Hannah."

Today, Li Fang and Guam Fen didn't set foot in the kitchen, but Big Sister Xian worked alone in there until almost noon, brought out eight dishes and one soup, and smilingly went over to the sofa and told Mrs. Ian that dinner was ready.

While she was eating, Li Fang sent a message to Master Zhao, asking her to come and wait outside Master Ian's block at around 12:30.

There was a lot of fun at the table today. Apart from taking care of Jun's meal, Guam Fen also managed to have a few words with Mr. and Mrs. Ian from time to time.

It was all about how to bring up Jun well in the future, and the old couple was naturally happy to hear it.

Big Sister Xian didn't say a word throughout and went back to the kitchen after eating.

Shortly after the meal, Tao Tao said she had to go back and take a nap, so she left.

Jun Jun and Guam Fen stayed on Master Ian's side.

When we returned to the Li family villa, there was a strange and familiar feeling that had been missing for a long time.

The courtyard gate and the gate inside were both closed. Li Fang asked Master Zhao, "Did you tell them that Tao Tao was coming back today?"

Master Zhao said, "No, I didn't. You told me to go and get them, so I went."

Li Fang opened the gate and went in, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard with a sense of affection.

When she opened the gate, the living room was quiet, the lights were off and there were a few of Yong Yong's small toys scattered on the sofa.

Li Fang put her clothes on top of the locker and took a glance at the surveillance monitor on Master Li's side, which was also empty. Everyone was on their lunch break at this time of day.

She accompanied Tao Tao up to the first floor, and when she passed Yong Yong's room, the door was closed.

Li Fang opened the door with a slight twist of the handle. Yong Yong was lying on her bed, sleeping heavily, her face no longer as dark as when she had just returned from home. It had a healthy, rosy glow.

Tao Tao glanced at her and went back to his room.

Li Fang put his school bag on the desk by the door, and put the backpack with his clothes in his room, hanging up the clean ones one by one and preparing the dirty ones for washing.

As soon as Tao Tao entered the room, he lay down comfortably on his back in a big shape, resting his hands on the back of his head,d said, "This is so comfortable!"

Li Fang said, "I'll be out in a minute, so hurry up and take a nap."

Tao Tao said, "I'll call Dad first."

He soon got through, and as soon as he heard Mr. Li's voice, he didn't take a nap. It was clear and bright: "Son, why haven't you taken a nap yet?"

Tao Tao said, "My aunt and I just came home."

Mr. Li asks, "Does your mother know?"

Tao Tao said, "Yes, she does. I told her about it."

Mr. Li said, "Well if you're back, you're back. Where is Jun?"

Tao Tao: "She's at her grandmother's house. I went to say goodbye to them before I came back."

I said, "You did the right thing. Rest for a while."

Tao Tao, all right.

Li Fang went downstairs, first to the basement to put Tao Tao's clothes in the washing machine, then to her room to change and go to bed.

Walking upstairs and downstairs in the house, everything was still the same.

Li Fang felt like she had only just fallen asleep when her alarm clock went off. When she picked it up, she saw that it was already three o'clock. She had slept through the night.

When I came out of the living room, the door was already open and there were slippers from Mrs. Li and Yong at the door, mother and daughter had gone to class again.

Miss Li came up from the basement and asked in surprise, "Big sister, you're back?"

Li Fang said, "Well, I came back after lunch."

Miss Li said mysteriously, "You're back at last. I was so tired that I couldn't stand it anymore."

Li Fang asked, "What's wrong?"

Miss Li said, "There are several floors upstairs and downstairs, and I still have to eat three meals a day on time. Do you think you are tired?"

Of course, Li Fang knew that she was tired because she had done it all by herself before.

Thinking about Mr. Li's words, I was afraid that in a few days, it would be my turn to be tired again.

Li Fang said, "It's hard. I used to do all this work by myself. As long as I wanted to do it anyway, there was never a day off."

Miss Li laughed again, "But Mr. Li. and the others have been quite polite to me lately, and they've done some things themselves. You know what? Now every morning, when Mr. Li comes downstairs, he carries his own dirty clothes basket down to the living room, and he is especially polite to me."

Li Fang asked, "How polite?"

Miss Li said happily, "He would say, "Little Li, please wash it. And he was very polite about many other things."

Li Fang knew this was not a good sign, but she could not say so explicitly. She was just anxious for Miss Li in her heart.

It was like being in a factory where everyone else knew except the employee himself that he was going to be fired. The HR department is counting his attendance, the supervisor is clearing his work and quietly looking for someone to replace him.

Other employees around him are whispering about it at the end of the day, in the toilets, in the corners, in the pantry, and y.

Only the employee himself is still working normally. Then the next moment he was called to the HR department at some point and never came back to the shop floor.

Sad, sad, sad.

As the two of them were talking, Y Juan came downstairs with Jim Jim in her arms.

Jim Jim has already turned three months old and is in her fourth month. She is becoming more and more understanding, her eyes are looking for people, and she is talking to people on her initiative. She even smiles at people.

I show him brightly colored pictures every day to deepen his impression of colors," says Y Juan. I also give him small toys to improve his gripping skills. I also have to talk to him from time to time. Now when I put him on his back, he lifts his head on his own. It's so much fun."

Miss Li laughed: "Don't ask me to help you when he grabs his hair. It's fun."

Y Juan laughed and said, "He just loves to grab his hair and doesn't know what to do. Now he can't understand adults either. I can only break his hands."

Li Fang picked up the baby and hugged him, and he was much heavier.

Tao Tao came down from upstairs and asked, "Where is Yong Yong?"

Miss Li said, "She's gone to her painting class. Then there's a swimming lesson and she won't be back until dinner time."

Tao Tao let out a sigh of relief. She glanced at Jim Jim and whispered, "You've put on weight again." She went to the sofa herself and turned on the TV.

Li Fang immediately resumed her work. First, she went to the basement and took Tao Tao's clothes from the washing machine to the yard to dry.

By the way, she looked at the vegetable patch in the backyard. The cabbages had grown to the point where they had to be eaten. I plucked another radish and saw that it had only a small root, but no expansion. I had to blanch it and use it as a leaf.
