When Zizheng and Younan returned home for the weekend, they saw a clean white insect egg blowing in the cold wind at the door.

They paused for a moment, then took a step back and asked Zhuang Nian, "Dad, why didn't you come to pick us up this week?"

Zhuang Nian squatted down and explained to them, "Because Father-in-law is very weak after giving birth, Daddy has to take care of him and your little brother. Next week, Daddy will definitely come to pick you up, okay?"

The two cubs exchanged a glance, then turned to Fei, who was reaching out to them: "Where's the female father?"

Fei Fufu touched his forehead and nodded hurriedly, saying, "My father-in-law will be there next week too."

The two little ones pursed their lips, looking a bit unhappy: "Only next week?"

Zhuang Nian and Fei shook their heads and said in unison, "Unless there are special circumstances, we will pick you up every week."

The two chicks looked at the insect egg, their expressions somewhat sullen.

The insect egg didn't expect that it wasn't the only egg, so it rolled over and rubbed against its parents' trouser legs, whining and whining that it wanted to be the only little darling in the family.

In this kind of sibling rivalry, siding with one side will inevitably offend the other, and you might end up offending both.

Fei Congming shut up and looked pleadingly at his master.

Zhuang Nian led the two children back into the house, and asked Fei to bring out the fruits, pastries and other snacks that had been prepared beforehand.

Seeing that their parents were still treating them well as before, the two cubs immediately cheered up, happily eating while swinging their legs, listening to their father point at the not-so-pleasing white egg and say:

"This is the younger brother, a lively male insect cub. You are three years older than him. As the older brother, you should set a good example for him, take care of him, love him, and not bully him. If the younger brother does something wrong, you should also teach him properly."

The explanation was similar to what they had given before, and the two little ones accepted it easily.

The insect egg was also happy; after all, who wouldn't like to be pampered by their older brother?

He immediately spun around happily, thinking that it's okay if he's not the only child; being the youngest child is a very happy thing.

Zhuang Nian patted the heads of the two chicks, praised them for being good, then pressed the wriggling insect eggs under his palm and said to them:

"This is Zizheng, your eldest brother. This is Younan, your second brother. Your two older brothers protect you, so you must act like a younger brother and always respect and honor them. If you dare to take advantage of your young age and ignorance, I will teach you a lesson, understand?"

The egg that thought it was a male and deserved unconditional pampering but didn't receive any: "..."

I don't understand! I don't understand! I don't understand!

The egg rolled around in its father's palm, throwing a tantrum, silently expressing that it only wanted to receive the love of its two older brothers and refused to take on the responsibilities of a younger brother.

Zizheng and You Nan dropped the pastries in their hands with a clatter, their eyes immediately reddening. They kicked their legs unhappily, saying, "We don't like him~ We don't want him as our younger brother~ No~ Waaah~"

Fei panicked and hurriedly tried to coax his three little ones, but he didn't know who to coax first. In order to avoid the little ones getting upset with him if he didn't handle it well, he lightly flicked his index finger and pulled down the headband on his head to cover his eyes.

We're just fooling ourselves, burying our heads in the sand, thinking that if we can't see it, then it doesn't have to happen.

Zhuang Nian clicked his tongue. Although he had only just started getting along with the insect egg, he could already tell how troublesome the little thing was. He slapped it across the face, making the insect egg see stars and dazzle.

Fei was startled! He lifted the headband above his eyes, wanting to say something, but then saw the two little ones tilting their heads and looking at him. He immediately swallowed and stood up, saying, "I, I'll go prepare dinner."

The insect egg was pulled out, and the two little ones chuckled, blinking their golden vertical pupils as they swung their legs to watch the show.

Thinking about how their father still loved them, they realized that he had never laid a finger on them in all their lives.

The two snakes, serving as a backdrop, flicked their tongues and whispered to their owner, "Have you forgotten how you got a slap on the hand from Father when you used me to scare other insects and got caught?"

The two little ones: "..." A hero doesn't dwell on past glories, but in the future... they must never let their father find out when they misbehave.

Zhuang Nian repeated what he had just said to Chong Dan. Seeing him slumped on the table pretending to be dead, looking stubborn and unrepentant, he said directly to him, "If you're so disobedient, your father can't love you."

The egg, who thought it could gain its male father's unparalleled favor just by being a male egg: "..."

He whimpered silently for a long time, with a faint sadness in his voice, and reluctantly nodded his egg body to indicate that he remembered.

Seeing that he was obedient, Zhuang Nian hugged the somewhat listless insect egg to his chest, stroked it, kissed its smooth shell, and praised, "That's a good boy."

Egg, who had never been treated so gently by his own father since birth: "!!!"

Immediately, she happily spun around in her father's arms, full of life, while rolling her white eggshell around Zhuang Nian's shirt, which carried a faint, cool fragrance, wanting another pat and a kiss.

Zhuang Nian looked at the extremely easy-to-please insect egg in his arms and wondered if it was really thick-skinned and heartless.

Zhuang Nian followed the egg's lead and touched its smooth, slightly cool body. After kissing it, he was stuck to it.

The insect egg nestled comfortably in its father's broad, strong arms, and proudly spun around in a circle towards its two older brothers.

The two little ones were so jealous they were practically bubbling with envy, looking at Zhuang Nian with pitiful expressions: "Daddy~"

Zhuang Nian felt helpless, thinking that this was truly a sweet burden.

He held the insect egg and waved to the two chicks. When he kissed the child's forehead, he didn't notice that the egg in his arms had turned somewhat dark. When he kissed You Nan, the egg went berserk.

Fei heard the two cubs scream, but before he could see what was wrong, he was hit by a spinning, jumping, flying insect egg as soon as he turned around from the stove, and almost vomited blood.

Zhuang Nian rubbed his numb chin, his long eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the egg in Fei's arms. He stood up and said gently, word by word, "Third brother. You, come, here."

"..." Fei: "Egg Baby, what did you do? Why do I feel that your father... is gentle, yet also a little scary?"

Realizing it had caused trouble, the egg burrowed into its female parent's arms, pitifully begging for protection and blessings, pleading with its parent not to give it away, waah~

-

A large part of the reason why children don't get along is due to parents who are addicted to favoritism.

Other families can't even balance two bowls of water, but Zhuang Nian and Fei De can balance three bowls.

Fortunately, neither the person nor the insect showed any favoritism. The three offspring, regardless of gender or age, were all their flesh and blood, their precious children, and there was no reason not to love them dearly.

Furthermore, because Zizheng and Younan almost died young, Fei felt not only fatherly love for them but also some guilt and self-blame. Sometimes, he had to treat them even better.

Fei was smart enough to know that he couldn't properly handle the relationship between the three cubs, nor could he bear the heavy responsibility of educating them, so he pushed it all onto Zhuang Nian.

Over time, the two chicks, who were treated fairly, grew to love their male father more and more, while the male egg, which did not receive preferential treatment, became increasingly resentful of its male father.

Dandan deliberately followed behind Fei, acting cute and affectionate, trying to make Zhuang Nian jealous.

If this had happened to Fei, who is sensitive and always controlled by his emotions, he would definitely be heartbroken and have tears in his eyes. But this happened to Zhuang Nian...

Zhuang Niancai didn't care about Chongdan's childish behavior. He didn't care whether Chongdan followed him or not, whether he was close to him or not. Expecting him to put aside his fatherly authority to speak well of Chongdan was a pipe dream.

As the saying goes, you can't fight city hall. After the insect egg had been making a fuss for a while, seeing that its male father was indifferent, it gradually became obedient.

Zhuang Nian looked at the male egg rolling around at his feet, begging for a hug, reached out and picked him up, gently stroking him.

At this point, Chongdan realized that only by being obedient and sensible could he gain his father's favor, and he gradually stopped competing with his two older brothers for his affections.

On the weekend, he tentatively followed his older brothers around for a while and found that as long as he didn't deliberately cause trouble, his two older brothers would indulge him, protect him, and pamper him in their arms.

This feels amazing!

Compared to the unrealistic fantasy of having the love of both parents exclusively, it is obviously more fulfilling to have the love of both parents plus the love of two older brothers.

After Fei finished her postpartum confinement under the supervision of her master, the three babies were getting along very well.

The first thing Zizheng and Younan did when they got home for the weekend was to look for their younger brother. Chongdan also remembered the date his older brothers were coming back and waited in circles at the door.

So the world of children is really clean and pure. As long as parents guide them well, their little conflicts are nothing at all.

Zhuang Nian and Fei felt very gratified watching the children playing on the lawn, and took them to the supermarket.

Insects are rare in this kind of place. All you see are intelligent robotic arms sorting goods. If an insect does appear, it's just strolling around and dating.

The three little ones were bursting with shopping desire as they looked at the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, wanting everything they saw.

Zhuang Nian and Fei You have plenty of money and don't advocate using "hardship" to educate their children. On appropriate occasions, they also give them a moderate amount of indulgence.

For example, now they can buy whatever they like.

Zizheng and You Nan were incredibly excited. They took the mechanical arms and headed straight for the mecha area. The insect eggs had relatively low energy requirements, so they rolled around in the refrigerated area, selecting nutrient solutions that smelled good.

Fei held Zhuang Nian's hand and followed slowly behind the children. Thinking of the time when she and her father-in-law strolled around here when she was young, she was unusually not sad. She only felt that the days before her were really happy, so happy.

Zhuang Nian saw Fei grinning foolishly with his eyes crinkled, and asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

Fei took his master's hand and kissed it. Just as he was about to say something, he heard insects talking softly around the corner, interspersed with faint sobs.

I glanced over instinctively...

Whether they had quarreled or not, the delicate male insect collapsed into the arms of the tall female insect, crying and pounding his chest with his pink fists.

The female insect, who had been beaten, looked at the male insect with pity and kept apologizing and comforting him while holding him in her arms.

Fei once fantasized that his male lord would fall into his arms and act cute, but unfortunately the male was too strong, and it was always Fei who cried and acted cute.

Fei watched with envy, pulling Zhuang Nian to look too. His eyes were mournful, and he said softly, "Look at them, how attached they are to their female insects~"

Zhuang Nian raised an eyebrow and whispered something in Fei's ear...

The female soldier blushed, nestled in the male's arms, lightly punched his chest, and said coquettishly:

"You're so annoying, my lord~"
