The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down

Chapter 350 - 340: The Art of Getting Along

Wang Miaomiao stood by the window without disturbing them, silently watching for a while.

Xiao Hanhan’s punching style was more fierce and straightforward, while Xiao Huihui liked to catch people off guard.

Both had their own strengths, which was really remarkable for kids.

No wonder they were her sons, amazing!

Wang Miaomiao’s lips curved slightly, feeling a bit proud inside.

After all, they were just in the senior kindergarten class, with limited energy. After exchanging moves for a while, they were both panting and tired.

They say twins have telepathy. They locked eyes, said nothing, but both stopped simultaneously, sitting on the ground panting heavily.

Xiao Yeye was watching intently, but when he saw the two suddenly stop, he was a bit anxious and puzzled, "Why did you stop fighting? The winner hasn’t been decided yet..."

Xiao Hanhan and Xiao Huihui exchanged a silent glance. Xiao Huihui turned away, obviously not wanting to deal with this silly younger brother. As the big brother, Xiao Hanhan had to step up and answer, "We’re tired, taking a break. We’ll continue once we’re rested."

This little trick was believed by Xiao Yeye, and upon hearing that his brothers were tired, he immediately became a little fanboy, even running off to bring them each a cup of water, happily saying, "Big brother, second brother, come have some water to quench your thirst."

Ah, the flattery was so sweet that Xiao Hanhan and Xiao Huihui felt embarrassed to tease this little brother. He’s really too innocent.

Oh well, they should keep an eye on him more in the future, not letting others bully him.

Wang Miaomiao felt a sense of contentment watching the scene of sibling love, and she led Xiao Xuanxuan inside.

"What are you guys up to? Fighting again?" she asked in a calm tone.

Her face gave nothing away, leaving the little ones who were used to reading expressions unable to figure out her mood.

"No, Mom, we were just sparring a little, right, second brother?" Xiao Hanhan outright denied it, giving Xiao Huihui a look.

Xiao Huihui caught his brother’s hint. Although he couldn’t read Wang Miaomiao’s expression either, it was the very unreadability that made him feel uncertain about lying.

But his brother had already spoken. If he contradicted, it would cause discord among them, and Mom wouldn’t be pleased. So, might as well take a chance...

"Yeah, we weren’t fighting, just sparring." Xiao Huihui, known for being well-behaved, spoke in a measured, convincing tone.

As expected, Wang Miaomiao was quite satisfied hearing their united front and didn’t intend to pursue the fighting matter any further. After all, their sparring appeared to be measured.

As for Xiao Xuanxuan’s comments about them attacking and disdaining each other, uh...

Wang Miaomiao looked down at Xiao Xuanxuan.

Now, Xiao Xuanxuan regretted; had she known, she wouldn’t have tattled. After all, brothers are still brothers, and she was still a bit inexperienced.

"Mom, since my brothers are so well-behaved, how about we go back to sleep under the sun..." Xiao Xuanxuan weighed the pros and cons, thinking that at this moment, she mustn’t let her brothers know she had tattled.

So, she could only lead Mom away first.

Wang Miaomiao raised her eyebrows but didn’t expose her daughter’s little trick, compliantly letting her lead her back to where they were.

Wang Miaomiao lay back on the rocking chair, with Xiao Xuanxuan standing obediently beside her, looking at her eagerly.

"Speak up, what’s on your mind?" Wang Miaomiao didn’t scold her, believing her questioning tone was quite gentle.

But it was this calmness that made Xiao Xuanxuan overthink, causing her to feel scared, perceiving her mom as unfathomable and not daring to act out.

If Wang Miaomiao could hear her thoughts, she’d definitely feel wronged. She really wouldn’t scold the kids, and Xiao Xuanxuan was just a few years old. It was reasonable for her to find Mom when the brothers fought.

See, she even came up with reasons for Xiao Xuanxuan. But the child had too many thoughts, overthinking it seemed.

"Mom, I know I was wrong."

Wang Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, seeing Xiao Xuanxuan ashamedly bowing her head, admitting her mistake, "I shouldn’t have tattled."

"Anything else?"

"Also... disturbing you with my loudness, interrupting your rest? Making you come for nothing..." The little one was perplexed, frowning as she tried to pinpoint her mistake.

Wang Miaomiao found it amusing and smiled, "Alright, don’t do it again next time. Speaking ill of others behind their back is never a good act. It also suggests stirring up trouble."

Wang Miaomiao didn’t say much more, knowing Xiao Xuanxuan was more there to see the fun between brothers, and it was unnecessary to make a big deal.

Xiao Xuanxuan’s attitude in admitting her mistake was good, her face serious and earnest, with her little head nodding steadily, quite commendable.

Wang Miaomiao smiled and said, "Wanna nap? Come on up?"

She leaned slightly, patting the empty spot beside her on the rocking chair, extending an olive branch.

Xiao Xuanxuan’s eyes lit up immediately, smiling broadly as she walked forward, handing her little hand to Wang Miaomiao.

Wang Miaomiao slightly got up and hugged her tightly. They adjusted their position and lay on the rocking chair together, gently swaying and slowly closing their eyes.

Before long, Jiang Yan and Jiang Zhongyi came back with upset feelings.

"Dad, don’t overthink it, this is out of our control, no need to mind them." On entering the house, as they went their separate ways, Jiang Yan said a word of comfort to his dad, whose back looked somewhat desolate.

Jiang Zhongyi’s back paused slightly, noncommittally saying, "I understand, I’m alright. Don’t worry, just go."

Jiang Yan watched his father wave him off with a hand, turning to leave with his hands behind his back. Seeing his father’s silhouette, he suddenly seemed to age a lot. When Old Master Jiang was around, it didn’t feel this way, but now...

Jiang Yan watched as his father’s figure gradually disappeared from view, only turning to leave after seeing him enter his room. He quietly vowed to himself: To spend more time with his father, and maybe have the kids accompany him more often; he must be feeling lonely.

With these thoughts, he went to his garden, hearing the children’s playful laughter and noises from the playroom, and walked towards it.

"What are you all doing?"

"Dad, you’re back..." The kids rushed over, "Join us in playing..."

They were playing a game of cops and robbers, chasing each other till they were sweaty.

Jiang Yan frowned, "Aren’t you hot, sweating like this? Drink more water. When you go out, wipe your sweat. Don’t catch a cold from hot to cold and worry your mom."

He reminded them once again but didn’t stop them from playing. After all, for boys this age, playing around is just normal.

"Understood." The boys, being experienced and obedient, quickly wiped their sweat, and seeing Xiao Yeye’s clumsiness, the older ones went up to help.

Seeing the brotherly love, Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction and left.

Arriving at the grape arbor, he saw from afar the two small women he cared about snuggled up together, sleeping soundly...

Peaceful times, just like this.
