Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2641: Chapter 2637: Your Kids Are Too Sensible

”I saw you two from afar, but it took forever for you to get here. Were you counting how many ants were on the road?” Ding Xi and Li Rong brought the four kids directly back to their place.

They just watched them play all the time and couldn’t join in, always feeling like the kids’ world didn’t belong to these adults at all.

Although thinking this way might be somewhat wrong since the children’s mentality is inherently different from adults, isn’t it normal for them not to integrate now?

What Ding Xi was thinking was that they want to get into character first; after the child is born, they’d have some experience. It’s just that the idea is beautiful, but reality is harsh.

There’s no way to play along with them at all, so Ding Xi just let them be and came out to see if there was anything else to do.

After he finished his work, he still didn’t see Chu Molin and the others arrive. This was the third time he came out, but aren’t they walking too slowly? It’s taking them forever.

”Didn’t you see Xue’er is expecting?” Chu Molin retorted directly.

If his wife were alone, they wouldn’t be so slow, but walking fast would be tiring, and they were also afraid she’d trip, so slow walking is the safest. Who cares if it’s slow or not? For them, it’s like taking a stroll, so they don’t mind the speed.

”Uh,” Ding Xi genuinely had no answer for this because he couldn’t say anything; Chu Molin was right: safety first.

”Are the kids behaving?” Qin Xue pinched Chu Molin’s waist. It was just a casual remark, was there a need to be so serious?

Chu Lin reached out to hold Qin Xue’s hand in his, as she couldn’t really pinch him painfully. To avoid hurting her hand, it was safer for him to hold it himself.

Qin Xue wanted to break free, but his grip was too tight. She had no choice but to let him be.

”They’re fine, but their games are too peculiar. I wanted to join but couldn’t; how were those games even designed?” Ding Xi thought about them playing Nine-Linked Rings and such. He had never engaged with those things before, and now, seeing such young kids playing them, he was quite baffled.

”They don’t seem to think like children. You can’t view them through a child’s mindset; you need to understand them through an adult’s perspective. With kids like these, it’s hard to say,” Qin Xue understood what Ding Xi meant immediately. For them, the children’s behavior was perfectly normal, but since others weren’t used to it, it seemed strange upon first glance.

But she didn’t know how to explain it to Ding Xi properly. It’s not something she could decide; kids are who they are. She felt it was normal, yet at the same time abnormal.

But Xue Ling and her mother always said her son was different, so she got used to it and didn’t think of anything else.

Now, this was Ding Xi’s first time encountering them, so naturally, he felt they were different from other kids. With more experiences like this, he would get used to it.

”Exactly, your kids are incredibly sensible. We don’t have to worry about anything; they handle it all well themselves. Doesn’t that take away a lot of joy?” Ding Xi wasn’t sure if all kids were like this.

But he hoped that in the future, his kids would possess the innocence children should have and not be like theirs, doing everything perfectly—where’s the joy in that?

Though he didn’t realize, they could be quite mischievous at times, especially when causing a ruckus; you’d find it hard to handle.
