At the beginning, he took his seven younger siblings to join Yi Zhonghai.

The family eventually finished their meal peacefully and harmoniously.

Then they all sat around the small table.

"Haha, you're all drooling, aren't you? Here, your big brother will get them for you right away."

Seeing the expectant looks in everyone's eyes, Yi Zhonghai laughed heartily as he unwrapped the pastries.

"Big brother, you eat first. Sister-in-law, you eat too. Big brother, this is yours."

Yi Zhonghua first gave each of the three children a piece, and then distributed the pieces to his younger siblings.

"Great, China is really awesome, they always think of us."

Yi Zhonghai took the pastry and smiled with satisfaction.

"That's right, Zhonghua is a big kid now, very well-behaved."

Tan Xiulian also praised her happily.

Although the two accepted the cakes, they only took a small bite before quietly putting them down.

They couldn't bear to eat it.

They'll probably coax the kids into eating these snacks eventually.

The same applies to Yi Zhongding.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to eat it; rather, he simply didn't like it at all.

He couldn't explain why he didn't like to eat it.

But I won't force myself anymore.

So, just like his older brother and sister-in-law, he watched with a smile as the children ate happily.

"Dingya, why aren't you eating? There's some here. I'll go buy more after you finish eating."

Yi Zhonghai saw his actions and assumed that he was also reluctant to eat, so he quickly said something.

"Dingya, do you not like eating this? We bought it during the Chinese New Year, but you didn't finish a single piece."

Tan Xiulian echoed this.

"Big brother, it's okay. I'm a grown man. I'll eat what I like. This stuff is too greasy."

Yi Zhongding smiled and said.

I don't know if they think they can carry on the Yi family line.

Compared to Yi Zhonghua and his children.

Yi Zhonghai and the other man always showed him extra care and attention.

But it's not like bangs.

Unconditionally biased.

It caused unrest in the home.

"Hehe, that's fine too. You have some spare money, so buy whatever you like to eat."

Yi Zhonghai smiled nonchalantly.

He was extremely satisfied with and loved his younger brother from the bottom of his heart.

She is sensible, knows her place, is grateful, and has good grades.

The Yi family's prodigy should be like this.

I, Lao Yi, have lived most of my life.

I thought I was destined to live a lonely and miserable life.

Who would have thought?

I'm approaching fifty.

Heaven has bestowed such a treasure upon us.

No amount of pain is too much.

"Dingya, do you still have enough money? You work so hard as a carpenter, and you give me all the money to help support the family."

"Since February or March, you've given me at least three hundred yuan. And that's your profit. You've also given every penny of the government subsidies to your family."

"If you calculate it that way, the money you pay each month is more than your older brother's."

Tan Xiulian also felt genuinely sorry for and pity her sensible younger brother.

"Our younger brother is definitely more capable than his older brother. I used to think we'd have to tighten our belts to make ends meet, but unexpectedly, things are getting better every day."

"Everyone in the courtyard is green with envy. Back then, they laughed at us, but now they wish they could take Dingya back to their own homes to be their younger brother."

Yi Zhonghai was so happy that his big teeth were showing, and he slapped his thigh as he spoke.

"Yes, I wouldn't skimp on myself. If I need money, I'll ask you for it, don't worry."

Yi Zhongding patted his pocket and said with a smile.

"It's summer vacation now, so go ahead and have fun. Go explore the whole of Beijing. It's not like we're short of your money. Just like other kids, have a good time."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Your older brother is right. You should learn from Hua Yazi in this respect. He's very lively, has many friends, and is always having fun everywhere."

"You probably don't know the streets of the capital as well as he does now."

As Tan Xiulian spoke, she pointed to Yi Zhonghua, who was fiddling with toys while carefully taking small bites of a snack.

"This kid is really good at dealing with people, I'm not as good as him. He's also very approachable, and all the classmates love to hang out with him."

"But everyone has their strengths. I can't learn them. I just hope that when he grows up, he won't become a street thug. Otherwise, we'll have a lot of headaches."

Yi Zhongding said with a hearty laugh.

"Big brother, no way! I want to study and go to university. When I grow up, I'll build tanks and airplanes. I'll make real airplanes for my younger siblings to play with."

Upon suddenly hearing his elder brother mention him, Yi Zhonghua quickly stepped forward and said something.

"Haha, that's ambitious! Big Brother has never been on an airplane before. When your airplane is finally built, will you invite Big Brother to take a ride?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai burst into laughter, pulled him into his arms, and teased him.

"Okay, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, I'll build one for each of you so you can sit and play with it every day."

Yi Zhonghua is good at making empty promises; with a wave of his hand, he promised to send two airplanes out.

Although we didn't see a single airplane.

However, Yi Zhonghai and his companion were so coaxed that they were willing to open their hearts to each other.

"Then I'll build my sister-in-law a machine that can wash clothes by itself, so she won't have to wash so many clothes every day."

Yao Yao also joined in the fun, raising her little hand and eagerly sharing her thoughts.

"Sister, could you make me a machine that can walk on its own? That way I won't have to walk anymore."

Miaomiao put down her toy, ran to her sister, and stared at her with her big eyes.

"A balance bike, the one my brother makes, is fine. You just need to turn the steering wheel."

Yao Yao pointed to the pile of toys in the corner and said.

There were four scooters there.

It's the kind of thing that seems a bit childish to children in later generations.

But it was a lot of fun for their parents.

A children's toy car that can be driven simply by turning a steering wheel.

In his previous life, Yi Zhongding was a lowly township civil servant who was essentially laid-back.

On ordinary days, besides wearing a yellow robe to deliver imperial meals to the various lords...

In my spare time, I enjoy watching videos about repairing horse hoofs, beachcombing, and various DIY crafts.

There are many talented people in later generations.

Iron smelting, steelmaking, kiln firing for porcelain, crafting whole-house furniture, replicating all sorts of things...

They manufacture their own fighter jet engines, tank engines... and even airplanes, rockets, and aircraft carriers...

The small airplane placed on the deck can actually fly.

It's one thing if it flies.

It can also launch double-bang firecrackers.

It has everything.

I've seen it a lot.

Occasionally, he would follow the explanations of those bloggers to replicate some simple things.

There are many things he still can't figure out.

After all, the industrial base is what it is.

But what I see more often are simple handmade creations.

He can do these things.

So he made a lot of them as toys for his younger siblings.

Conditions apply.

It can only be these things that don't require electricity or oil.

"Then, sister, can you build me a machine that makes the steering wheel move by itself? That way I can sit there without having to move."

Miao Miao glanced at it, but was still not satisfied, and pleaded again.

Yi Zhongding didn't pay any attention to their childish remarks.

I'm just starting to question the meaning of life.

Who did this lazy little girl take after?

She was unusually lazy on ordinary days.

My favorite thing to do is to take a small toy, lie on the rocking chair by the door, cross my legs, and play by myself all day without moving.

Ideally, you should also have some food in your hand.

That would be even happier.
