My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1276 Special Voices from Abroad (Part 3)

Night had already fallen over the city.

Under the streetlights in the neighborhood, Xiao Zishan led Xiao Lanlan, skipping and hopping home. Occasionally, Xiao Zishan's singing could be heard: "I'll give you a little red flower, blooming on the horizon where cattle and sheep roam, as a reward for you never forgetting me no matter where you go..."

The off-key singing drifted in from afar.

There were still dogs barking from several villas nearby, but as Xiao Zishan's voice spread, even the wealthy man's dogs stopped barking, and the surroundings became noticeably quieter.

A car drove past, its glaring high beams turning into slightly dimmer low beams. Zhang You reached out and grabbed the two girls, only releasing them after the car had passed.

Xiao Zishan seemed to be infected by her own singing, and her steps became more and more cheerful.

She would walk slowly along the curb of the green belt for a few steps, then jump down and then jump back up, repeating this many times. The way she walked, five or six-year-old Lanlan walked in the same way.

"Sister Zishan, you sing so beautifully!"

Little Lanlan, wearing a pink down jacket, said something in an admiring tone.

"That's a must."

Xiao Zishan, far from being modest, asked, "Dad, was Brother Xu called the sound engineer today?!" Hearing her father hum in agreement, Xiao Zishan excitedly replied, "The sound engineer who helped us record today praised me so many times! He even said I'm not only pretty, but I also sing really well!"

Zhang You remained silent.

Xu Weihua has almost sold out his conscience in just one day.

"My grandma... Mom"

Just as she was about to say something, Xiao Lanlan paused, then changed to "Mom," and the five or six-year-old girl continued, "My mom said you look like Aunt Jiang. She also said that Jiang Yiren used to be a top beauty in the entertainment industry."

"Grandma Wang told you to call her 'Mom'?!"

Xiao Zishan asked a question, and then, seemingly indignant on Xiao Lanlan's behalf, said, "She's so old. Grandma Han is right, she's shameless."

"My grandma...my mom isn't thick-skinned at all!"

Xiao Lanlan, unusually, offered an explanation for Wang Yu, then said, "Well... I also think she's a bit old. When she picks me up from kindergarten, I'm embarrassed to greet her, afraid the other kids will laugh at me."

Zhang You burst out laughing.

He had long noticed that children nowadays are more precocious; they may seem naive, but they do understand certain things.

Indeed.

Wang Yu is old enough to be a grandmother, but as a mother, she would undoubtedly be a leftover mother.

After thinking it over, Zhang You gently advised, "Don't think like that. Just call her whatever she tells you to. Don't feel embarrassed. It's better to have something than nothing, right? As long as she's good to you, don't worry about anything else."

He reached out and ruffled the hair of Xiao Lanlan, who was following behind his daughter, and said, "Remember, you have a mother, a father, and a brother now. As long as they treat you well, you should treat them well too. If they don't, come and tell Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Zhang will stand up for you."

Aside from this minor issue.

In other aspects, Wang Yu is already quite capable.

Zhang You could tell that the old woman really cared about the little girl. Otherwise, even if she had adopted her, she could have had Xu Qingya's nanny pick her up and drop her off, and she could have had some peace and quiet. But before the school holidays, Wang Yu personally dropped her off in the morning and picked her up in the evening.

Moreover, because Zhang You sent Li Ran to study with Xu Qingya, he had already noticed that there were more than a dozen pairs of new shoes for children on the shoe rack in Xu Qingya's house, and the number of plush toys on the sofa had also gradually increased.

As for clothes, Zhang You had never been inside Xu Qingya's dressing room and didn't know much about it, but judging from the way the little girl usually dressed, Wang Yu hadn't mistreated her.

Especially considering that the girl's hairstyle today is a centipede braid, the fact that Wang Yu can braid this kind of braid proves that she is a fairly competent mother.

That's why Wang Yu asked for his piano, saying he wanted to cultivate Xiao Lanlan's interest in playing the piano, and Zhang Youcai didn't refuse.

Even though the piano at home wasn't too expensive, if Wang Yu didn't treat this girl well, Zhang You would rather throw it away than give it to her.

"I know"

The little girl nodded, then smiled and said, "Aunt Xu said the same thing, that if my mom treats me badly, I should tell her and you. Uncle Zhang, Aunt Xu has praised you so many times." "Praise me for what!?"

Zhang You asked with a smile.

Children are indeed different, mainly due to his personal charm; in any case, Zhang You found that he was particularly popular with children.

His own daughter was close to him, and Li Ran was also close to him. When this little girl first appeared at his house, she was quite afraid of him, but now she's like a little adult and can chat with him.

"They say you're a great songwriter and a master pianist... Uncle Zhang, what's a master pianist!?"

As they were talking, the little girl asked a question.

"A master is someone who is very capable."

Zhang You replied with a smile.

Zhang You was going to pick up Li Ran later, so he just closed the gate to the yard. Anyway, there was a cheetah guarding the yard. When Zhang You brought the two children in, the cheetah rushed over and circled around their feet. After the three went upstairs, the cheetah went back to its doghouse and continued to lie down.

Jiang Yiren never allowed the cheetah to go upstairs. Every time it went upstairs, she would chase it down. If it refused, she would kick it. After being kicked so many times, the cheetah knew that the upstairs was its no-go zone.

Zhang You didn't say anything about it, mainly because there were two little ones upstairs, and dogs bark at any noise without regard for the situation. When he came upstairs, Jiang Yiren had already finished showering and was watching TV, holding one son in each arm.

Aunt Jiang

Little Lanlan called out.

"Where did your mom take you today?!"

Jiang Yiren asked with a smile.

Oceanarium

The little girl replied obediently.

"Is it fun!?"

Jiang Yiren continued to ask.

"Um"

Xiao Lanlan nodded repeatedly.

When her husband told her that Wang Yu wanted their piano, Jiang Yiren didn't say anything. Anyway, they already had another one that was even better. After it was delivered, she took a look and was surprised that the Jincheng Awards ceremony, which was usually very stingy, was actually generous this time and willing to use such a good piano.

Jiang Yiren guessed that it was probably sponsored by the brand. Xiao Zishan was taken upstairs by her father to play the piano, and Xiao Lanlan went with her. After Xiao Zishan finished playing, Zhang You made an exception and taught Xiao Lanlan to play.

He wasn't expecting to take on another one, but since Wang Yu had the idea of ​​cultivating the little girl's interests in this area, and the little girl was coming to his house to play and calling him "Uncle Zhang" repeatedly, he decided to teach her a little.

Zhang You felt bad about letting the little girl stand there watching for an hour or two, so at 9:30 p.m., he took the little girl home and went to pick up Li Ran.

"Master"

Li Ran, who was being led by Zhang You, called out, then said, "Grandma Wang and Sister Xu said that if you go abroad to participate in the competition, you definitely won't be able to beat them. I think you can do it."

"You're underestimating your master. My abilities are far more than just that; if I were to go, I could take on ten of them."

Zhang You laughed.

"Master, you know martial arts!?"

Li Ran asked.

"If you know a little, but only ten, your master might get beaten more."
