Five years later.

Early in the morning, An Feng heard the child's knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open, and the little girl's shrill voice sounded in his ears: "Good morning!" Mom and Dad! ”

An Feng reluctantly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Alice who was standing next to the bed and staring at him: "What's the matter so early, dear?" ”

"Can I not go to school today?" Alice said expectantly.

"No, you can't." An Feng shook his head.

"But it's my birthday." She pouted.

"That's why you're going to school, telling the other kids, inviting them to come over to the party tonight."

"yes." Alice suddenly realized, "So I can bring a lot of friends over this afternoon?" So Sister Jade will come over too? ”

"Of course." An Feng nodded, Jade was her cousin Xiaoyu.

"Can I get my mom to help me with my pigtails? I like to comb it back from my forehead. Alice looked at Joanna, who had just opened her eyes, buried in An Feng's neck, afraid that Ma Ma would not hear clearly, so she specially grabbed a handful of hair next to her and put it on her head, posing as revealing her forehead.

"As long as you like." Joanna said sleepily.

"Thank you, Mama!" She smiled and said, "Dad, you're going to send me to school." ”

"Okay, it's still ...... to go to school" An Feng looked at the time, bear child! It's only seven o'clock!

"And then?" Alice looked at him with big dark eyes.

“OK！ OK！ An Feng turned around and carried her to the bed, tickling: "Are you a robot that has just been fully charged?" It's unsettling! ”

"Hahaha!" Alice laughed and tickled her dad's in turn, "I'm not Uncle Robot!" ”

An Feng and Joanna were woken up by Alice at seven o'clock, quarreled with her for a while, and asked her to go downstairs to prepare for breakfast. They got up and washed. Then Joanna went next door and picked up her youngest son, Fred, who was still sleeping. He is more than a year old and is the latest love crystallization of the couple.

Breakfast was already prepared in the dining room downstairs, and the family sat around the table, which was commemorative as it was Alice's sixth birthday. As Joanna had done, they shook hands and prayed together before eating, after which they ate to the chatter of their children.

"Please swallow something before you speak." Joanna reminded Alice, "Don't talk while eating, look at what's on the table, whose is it?" ”

"Brother's." She said.

"My brother is still drinking milk, and he can squirt bread crumbs?" Joanna put down the knife and looked at her, her expression a little serious.

The little girl looked left and right. Whispered: "That's ...... Daddy's? ”

An Feng is sad, you have to be a little principled to frame your child, okay, the father who usually loves you the most can betray him?

"Alright, it's mine." She said aggrievedly.

"Next time, please say it directly." Joanna reminded her. Generally speaking, a family needs parents to play two opposing roles, An Feng loves his children more, correspondingly, Joanna has to be stricter, otherwise she will spoil her children. It will only spoil her and ruin the future.

"I'm sorry. It was my fault. She lowered her head and played with the fork, which was smooth, and she usually said it a lot.

Fred looked at everyone and grinned, milk coming out of his mouth.

"Oops!" Alice picked up the napkin on his lap and wiped the milk on him, "You have to close your mouth and drink." ”

"Thank you." Fred said. He had just learned dozens of words, and what he could say was very simple, and he didn't say as much as Alice had when she was a child.

"There is progress, dear." Joanna said with a smile.

Since having two little ones, the family has been much more lively. Of course, it's also a headache when you're trick-or-treating...... After breakfast, Alice asked her mother to help her comb her pigtails, because the maid would not be popular with this trick, she had to keep her hair in a shawl on both sides, expose her forehead, and clip her hair to the braids.

With her fat face, it brings out the cuteness to the fullest. The advantage of mixed race is very strong, the hair and eyes inherit from the father, and the face shape has the shadow of the mother, the nose is relatively straight, and the facial features are more three-dimensional, which naturally looks very delicate and cute.

Another child, Fred, can't see anything when he is young, his yellowed hair is very thin, he has just learned to walk, compared to Alice's liveliness when he was a child, he is a little silent when he grows up, and he does not cry, and it is estimated that he will be a very independent person when he grows up.

Joanna combed Alice's hair, she changed into a dress, a pair of short boots, and a small school bag with nothing on her back, happily holding her father's hand and setting off. Joanna escorted them to the door, and Anfeng asked Alice to sit in the back seat of the Maserati, and then kissed Joanna goodbye.

"Goodbye, Mom!" The little girl beckoned to Joanna through the car window.

She also smiled and waved her hand, and An Feng drove the car out to the nearby elementary school. When it comes to education, children in the United States can be sent to care for education before they are one year old, in a very random form and location, mainly to play with a group of friends.

Even in elementary school, the main purpose of children is to play, and it is not until middle school that they start to get nervous.

Alice was a little different, she didn't send her to a nurse or daycare, she was educated at home until she was five years old, and the governess hired six or seven to expose her to some of her favorites, which also managed to make her master both Chinese and English, with the same English accent as her mother.

She is currently going to the kindergarten of her primary school, which is usually a one-year term, starting in September last year, and there is still a semester this year, and she will officially enter primary school in September. Because of An Feng's work, Alice has to go to school in the United States, and it is uncertain where she will choose after that.

Sending her to the gate of the primary school, after Alice said goodbye to her father, she walked into the school with a smile and a smile like other children to start a new day. An Feng has seen their elementary school classroom, which is completely different from the one he had when he was a child, it feels like an amusement park, with all kinds of things to play.

Then drive home, it's Alice's birthday, and I have to make some arrangements.

The car drove to the door of the building and stopped, An Feng pressed the shortcut key to return to the garage on the touch screen interface before getting out of the car, and then got out of the car and closed the door, and the unmanned electric car continued to make reversing and U-turn movements, returning to the garage with a precise route, turning off the power, and there was no need to worry about the whole process.

Autonomous driving is not uncommon. Twenty years ago, there was a prototype, but for safety reasons, people are still willing to believe in themselves, even if the accident rate of machines is far lower than that of humans, so autonomous driving has not been popularized, but the technology of automatic parking is very developed.

In fact, automatic parking plus assisted steering. It's almost autopilot.

When I went home, I discussed the format of the birthday party with the butler, which was held in the main banquet hall, and let the holographic environment create a fairy tale effect, such as the scene of Alice in Wonderland, which happened to match the name, and Alice also liked it. The housekeeper listened to An Feng's idea and instructed the servant to implement it.

That's the end of An Feng's "thing".

In the morning, I taught Fred literacy with Joanna, and although the child spoke little, he had a strong learning ability. It's just that he has a smart brain, and he can remember many things after telling them a few times, and teaching is a very easy thing. An Feng lay on his side on the ground, his chin in his hand and told him the story of Winnie the Pooh.

"You're lazier than a child!" Joanna came over with some dessert and sat down next to him.

"It's because the kid is too smart, and I don't have anything else to do." An Feng reached out to grab the small cake and slapped Joanna's paw off: "Use a fork." ”

"Feed me." An Feng retracted his hand.

"Not serious." Joanna said, but it was still on his lips.

"Delicious!" An Feng said. "I love you."

"So perfunctory?" She said.

An Feng got up and hugged her and kissed her, and said with a smile: "Is this okay?" I would have liked to be more enthusiastic. But the child is there, and he sees that the impact is not good. ”

"You know that, too!" Joanna said.

An Feng lay back with a smile, Fred sat on the ground with his legs apart, looking at the booklet of the story, An Feng continued: "Let's talk about the next ......"

After two o'clock in the afternoon, An Feng drove to pick up Alice.

Birthday party preparations. There weren't many people invited this time, they were all good for them and good for their children. Alice has two new friends coming over tonight, so adults need to get ready...... In the evening, the party began, and guests from all over the world arrived one after another.

Alice's most familiar companion: Matthew's child, William, is only a year older than her. Came to the door with a small pink gift box; Wang Le's son Harry also arrived as scheduled, and Wu Chao, who came over for vacation, also brought his girl Lulu over to congratulate Alice on her birthday.

In addition to the children, some of Alice's big friends, Sister Xiaoyu, who often accompanied her when she was a child, is now inappropriate to describe her as "small".

According to the generation, Xiaoyu is an elder, but Joanna's younger brother who is not much different in age, Andy was also present, Andy also graduated from high school this year, but Westerners look like they are in their twenties, and last time An Feng saw Andy and his girlfriend shopping in Los Angeles...... This kid has a future!

The little birthday star dressed up ceremoniously, wearing a very cute puffy skirt and a crown, and gave a sweet "Mr. and Mrs." to the visitors, which made everyone cute...... When relatives and friends arrived, everyone began to sing birthday songs to her, followed by wishing and blowing out candles.

This was normal, but after blowing out the candle, the little girl suddenly sobbed.

An Feng, who was holding a camera, leaned forward to shoot this scene, and her mother was puzzled and asked, "Why are you crying, dear?" ”

Everyone also looked at her with concern, thinking that they were unhappy, but she looked at her brother sitting on the chair next to her, sobbed and said, "I think that Fred will grow up in the future." ”

"What?" Joanna was puzzled, and so were everyone.

"Can you keep him from growing up?" Alice looked up at her mother, then at her father.

Still confused, she walked up to Fred, hugged him and kissed him on the head, then turned to them and said, "He's so cute!" After a pause, "I don't want him to grow up!" Oh buy karma! I just made a wish that he won't grow up......"

And then whining again.

The group of people celebrating their birthday couldn't cry or laugh, and even An Feng, who was in charge of the shooting, was shaking with laughter, Matthew couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why do you think so?" ”

Alice hugged her brother seriously, and said with true feelings: "He is so cute! ”

"But it's a natural law, like you're going to grow up." Matthew said.

"Nope! I don't want him to grow up, I don't want to grow old! She cried, but Fred, who was involved in the incident, sat inexplicably stunned.

The scene of crying little Lori and her cute brother is in contrast, everyone doesn't know what to say, but her expression is still so serious...... The child's mind may not be guessed by adults, and it took a while to divert her attention through the chair-grabbing game of the birthday party.

Seeing the bear child go to play with other children and grab chairs, An Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Matthew sat down beside him and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"I have absolutely no idea what made her so hysterical." An Feng shrugged, "But this little girl has been a headache since she was a child." ”

Matthew, who is the godfather of the child, smiled: "Agree, she didn't bother me less before!" (To be continued......)
