Chapter 255: A birthday present for showing up early

People say you look old at the age of three, and Shen August is already five years old.

Zhang Chunnuan can already predict that her daughter will definitely grow into that kind of indulgent young lady with an unpleasant personality.

She now hopes to have a baby girl in her belly so that she can get rid of the excessive love given to Shen August by the elders in the family.

Anyway, I guess I can’t teach well.

Only by letting her experience the cruelty and indifference of family life can she change the person's disgusting temper.

Shen August was so frightened by her mother's roar that she hid behind her brother, and her crying naturally stopped.

Thinking of her mother's fried pork with bamboo shoots, even if she wanted to cry, she had to hold it back.

Zhang Chunnuan stood there and looked at the twins for a long time, then turned into the main room without saying a word.

This move of hers frightened Shen Shiqi into shivering.

I am not afraid of my mother scolding me, but I am afraid that my mother will not say anything.

Although he still doesn't know what "the calm before the storm" means, after being a mother and son for five years, he deeply understands one truth -

Mother's silence is almost like the sky falling, which represents serious consequences.

The crying voice of my sister came from behind: "Brother, is mom angry? Do we want to apologize?"

Shen Shiqi clenched his little fists, turned around and said, "Sister, follow grandpa and sister Xiao Yu'er, I'll go see mom."

"Brother, I'm afraid... let's go together."

Although Shen August said he was afraid, he still had to face his mother's anger with his brother.

"No, brother will go alone."

Shen Shiqi knew that his mother was much harsher on his sister than on himself. If he was alone, maybe his mother's anger would not be so great. If he brought his sister with him...

He was worried that his mother would feel uncomfortable or sick if she was too angry, and he was also worried that his sister would be scolded and beaten.

So he grabbed Shen Auguste's hand that was holding his clothes and walked towards the main room with his short legs.

Behind him were Shen August, who was covering her mouth with her hands and crying, Father Shen who was both worried and proud, and Wang Xinyu, who had a faint smile in his eyes.

Shen Shiqi climbed over the high threshold of the main room and walked to his mother's room.

Just halfway through, the door was opened from the inside, but no one came out.

He tentatively took two more steps forward, and saw his mother walking out with an unknown wheeled thing in her hand.

Zhang Chunnuan saw Shen Qiyi and smiled, "You came just in time to see the birthday gift your dad and I gave you."

As she spoke, she placed the small wooden tricycle in her hand on the ground.

When this house was built, except for the vegetable patch and pond in the front yard, all other floors were paved with flat bluestone slabs.

At first, I asked Brother Wang to look for slates, but it was difficult to find the same specifications. Even if they did exist, the price would be very high.

Later, there was really nothing else to do, so Zhang Chunnuan went to the vegetable market and directly bought dozens of tons of bluestone and used it in a processing workshop to process the slate.

Now the floor of Shen's house is just like the terrazzo floor tiles in later generations. It is called flat.

The car was placed smoothly on the ground. Zhang Chunnuan patiently pointed to the components on it and introduced them to Shen Qi:

"This is a seat bag. Just sit here, hold the handle with your hands, step on the pedals with both feet, and the car will move when you exert force. Come and try it."

She looked at Shen Shiqi encouragingly and wanted to carry him directly into the car, but due to her bulging belly, she could only hold her little hand and guide him to sit down and settle down.

Shen Shiqi, who has been well nourished since childhood, is naturally smart. Following Zhang Chunnuan's instructions, he nervously held the handle of the car and stepped down hard with his two little feet.

The small wooden tricycle carefully crafted in the farm's processing workshop jumped out two meters under the force and then stopped.

After enjoying the pleasure of speed, Shen Shiqi learned by himself how to change direction and how to brake with his feet.

When he was having a great time, Zhang Chunnuan touched his chin, thinking that the new shoes he would give his son later would have to have thicker soles, otherwise they would not be enough for his brakes.

Shen Shiqi got a new toy and rode it to the main door. After being stopped by the threshold, he stood up on his pedals and waved to the three people in the courtyard.

"Grandpa, sister Xiaoyu'er, sister, come and see the gift that mom and dad gave me!"

Seeing Shen Qi's cheerful appearance, Father Shen and Wang Xinyu walked over curiously.

The former touched the handlebars and then the body of the bike, seeming to be studying how to use the new gadget in front of him that was similar to a bicycle.

The latter stood next to Zhang Chunnuan. While watching Shen Qi show off the new toy, he was distracted by Zhang Chunnuan's condition.

As for Shen August, who stayed where he was, his eyes were filled with tears. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he wanted to hide in the backyard.

Just as she was about to bypass the kitchen and go to the backyard, Shen Qiqi stopped her: "Sister, come and take the car, brother will ride with you to play!"

Shen Qi turned to Zhang Chunnuan and asked, "Mom, can I ride the car in the yard?"

Zhang Chunnuan hummed and warned: "You can ride it at home and play with it, but you can't take it outside. If guests come to the house, you can't play with it either."

"Then shall I play with sister Nannan and brother Xiaocao?"

Zhang Chunnuan thought of Wang Dongxue and her children, whom she had not seen for several months, and nodded in agreement.

"Today is your and August's birthday. When your father comes back, how about asking him to pick up Nannan and Xiao Shitou and have dinner with them at home?"

When Shen Shiqi heard the word "birthday", he heard that the car her mother had just mentioned was a birthday gift prepared by her and her father, and suddenly asked: "Does my sister have a birthday gift?"

Zhang Chunnuan looked at Shen August, who was wringing her little hands, tears welling up in her eyes, walking over with small steps, and her heart suddenly felt sour and swollen.

No matter how unpleasant her temper is or how bad her temper is, she is still her daughter!

"Of course! Your father and I are not partial parents."

Hearing that he had continued, Shen August raised his head in surprise, blinked his eyes, and tears rolled down one by one.

Zhang Chunnuan looked a little funny, so she said: "It's just that August's gift is really big and heavy, I can't take it out——"

"I can get it for my sister!" Shen Shiqi raised his hand quickly, his face flushed with anxiety, as if his sister's gift would disappear if he didn't seize the opportunity.

"Okay." Zhang Chunnuan saw Shen August came to her side and whispered: "Mom, I was wrong, mom, don't be angry." Then she took the lead and walked to the room, "Come on, let's take a look together. August birthday present!”

The group of people entered the room of Zhang Chunnuan and Zhou Haoran, and saw that in the corner of the room against the wall, there was a wooden board large enough for people to roll on the floor, and on the wooden board, there was a strange pink-colored cabinet.

Zhang Chunnuan pointed to the cabinet and said, "This is August's birthday gift. Go and open it."

Shen August looked at her mother, then at the cabinet, stepped on the wooden board with her little finger in her mouth, walked over and opened the cabinet.
