Chapter 95
Entering the coldest six-nine days of the year, the New Year was also approaching.
A major cleaning had begun in the villa. The butler uncle had purchased a pile of small red lanterns and window decorations, planning to hang them up after cleaning in the next two days.
All of Tiantian’s classes had also been stopped, in preparation for the New Year.
These past two days, while cleaning downstairs, Tiantian also held a small rag, wiping left and right, and wiped the small coffee table by the balcony window until it was sparkling.
Today was the turn of the bedrooms on the third floor.
Shen Tiantian carried his special small bucket and rag and walked out of the elevator with the aunties who were wearing large aprons.
To prevent dust from falling, Shen Tiantian was also wearing a blue dust cap on his head.
He was the first to enter his second brother’s room, which was near the elevator.
The aunties, on the other hand, were cleaning from the furthest end, and Shen
Tiantian was the exact opposite.
Tiantian pushed open his second brother’s door, scanned the room, and couldn’t help but nod.
His second brother, Shen Jinfeng, was a very clean person. Besides his somewhat poisonous mouth and his frequent bickering with Shen Tiantian, his room was spacious and tidy.
The layout of the room was the same as Shen Tiantian’s. There was a very small suite outside, with a carpet and a single small sofa.
The suite was separated from the inside by a screen. Inside was the master bedroom, with a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe.
He also had a collection cabinet, which was filled with various racing car and horse figurines.
The abstract small horse figurine that Shen Tiantian had given him was placed on the middle shelf of the cabinet.
After a tour, Tiantian decided to start cleaning from the small suite.
He first took his small bucket to the washroom and filled it with a small half-bucket of water.
Then he seriously washed the small rag, wrung it dry with great effort, and lay on the sofa to wipe it carefully.
He stuck his bottom in the air, and all the hair on his head was tucked into the blue dust cap, leaving only his round little face exposed.
Tiantian’s dark eyes were full of seriousness. He pressed his lips together and worked hard.
After wiping the sofa and the small coffee table, Tiantian was like a diligent little bee. He tirelessly went to his brother’s bedroom.
He stood on a stool, took down the racing car and horse figurines, and put them in the small bucket to wash one by one.
After washing them clean, he put them back for his brother.
He was quite scheming and directly placed the small figurine he had given him in the center.
At a glance, the abstract small horse became the most conspicuous and eye-catching one.
Shen Tiantian couldn’t reach the top two or three shelves of the cabinet and could only give up with regret.
After being tired for a long time, Shen Tiantian wiped the sweat from his forehead and went to Shen Xiuze’s room next door.
Their several bedrooms were next to each other, forming a semi-circular circle, with a hollow in the middle, from which one could directly see the living room on the first floor.
After cleaning two rooms in a row, Tiantian was really tired.
At this moment, the butler uncle was calling him from downstairs to drink corn juice. Shen Tiantian directly gave up his great cleaning cause and happily ran down.
As soon as the sweet and delicious corn juice entered his mouth, Tiantian let out a long sigh, his eyes curving with a smile.
“So yummy. Big brother and Daddy have gone to work and can’t drink such sweet corn juice.”
The butler uncle took the small blue dust cover from Tiantian’s head, and his fluffy hair poofed out, looking a little messy.
A few strands on his forehead were still a little wet and quickly stuck to Tiantian’s forehead.
“Is Tiantian tired?”
These past two days, the little one had been busy up and down, following the aunties and working with great enthusiasm.
Although his contribution was very limited, and the aunties usually had to clean the places he had wiped again.
But it was still very worthy of praise.
Tiantian shook his head, drank the corn juice in one go, and wiped his mouth.
“I used to clean the house with Grandma for the New Year too.”
His mother had to be busy earning money. In the past, during the New Year,
Tiantian would follow his grandma around, busy running around.
Tiantian sat on the sofa, looked at the increasingly tidy and clean small villa, and was full of pride.
This is all thanks to Tiantian’s help!
After cleaning until the evening, this major cleaning was finally left with only Tiantian’s bedroom.
Shen Yuanchuan had just gotten off work. He saw Shen Tiantian busy like a little spinning top, mixed in with the aunties, wearing a small apron and a dust cap,
looking quite the part.
Shen Yuanchuan looked up again and saw Auntie Mu shake out a few bags of small cookies from Shen Tiantian’s quilt.
The butler uncle also found a few lollipops hidden in Shen Tiantian’s wardrobe.
What was even more outrageous was that Shen Tiantian had, at some point, hidden half a bowl of rice in a drawer.
Shen Yuanchuan looked at Shen Tiantian’s messy room, with small snacks hidden everywhere, and the temples on his forehead throbbed.
How many more did you hide? Forget about the snacks. Why did you even hide rice?”
iantian was lifted by his daddy. Seeing that all his cunning hiding spots had been found, he smiled sheepishly.
I… I forgot too.”
Tiantian only remembered that the time he had hidden the rice was because he had done poorly on his homework and had been scolded by his daddy until he cried.
He was so angry at the time that his little body was trembling, and he was determined to make his daddy submit by not eating rice.
Of course, that night, he was so hungry he couldn’t sleep.
So Tiantian had hidden half a bowl of rice the next day, thinking that after his daddy left, he would get up in the middle of the night to eat secretly.
But he had slept too soundly at night and had completely forgotten about eating the rice.
This bowl of rice was left over and had been in the drawer for several days, on the verge of going bad.
The aunties found all kinds of snacks and pastries that Tiantian had hidden. Some were half-eaten, and some had been bitten.
This time, they were all collected in the trash can.
The butler uncle saw that the small trash can he had brought up was not enough and turned to go downstairs to get a green, extra-large, wheeled, flip-top trash can.
Shen Tiantian’s messy things directly filled half a bucket.
Shen Jinfeng came back from his studio after work and was amazed at the trash that was pushed out of Shen Tiantian’s room.
“You’re really something. Are you living in a mouse nest?”
He let out a couple of “tsk tsk”s, and with a single touch of his lips, he was a barrage of words.
“If a mouse entered your room, it would have to laugh to the heavens three times and gratefully call you grandpa.”
Shen Tiantian huffed. He watched as his room was quickly cleaned up by Auntie Mu, and not a single snack or pastry was left. He was very sad.
“What if I’m hungry at night? If a child doesn’t eat enough, he will have hungry dreams.”
Shen Jinfeng let out an “ew” and flicked Shen Tiantian’s forehead.
“You little dirty child, stop talking. Isn’t it better to have hungry dreams than to live in a nest with mice?”
Shen Tiantian was so angry at his brother that he gritted his little teeth.
“I even helped my brother clean today. Hmph! I shouldn’t have helped you!”
Shen Jinfeng suddenly had a bad feeling.
He quickly turned his head and went to his room to take a look.
The aunties had cleaned the room again, and it was neat and clean. The only thing was that in Shen Jinfeng’s display cabinet, that abstract small horse was particularly conspicuous.
Tiantian followed him in and puffed out his little chest with pride.
“I did it!”
Hurry up and praise me!
The corner of Shen Jinfeng’s mouth twitched, and he took this abstract small horse down from the center.
Then he took another model racing car to look at it. Sure enough, the water damage was very serious, and the circuit was not working.
Shen Jinfeng rolled up his sleeves and let out a “heh heh.”
Two minutes later—
Shen Tiantian had a head full of bumps from being hit by his brother and was crying his eyes out.
He sat in the dining room, his eye sockets red, and after a few sobs, he took a breath and quickly started to eat.
He sobbed again, exhaled, and ate…
His dinner was like watching a comedy show.
Shen Yuanchuan did not participate much in the brothers’ affairs, for fear of not being fair.
Mainly, he was indeed partial to Shen Tiantian, but he also felt that Shen Tiantian was mischievous and should be taught a lesson by his brother.
However, “Tiantian was also very good today. Although his way of working was a bit wrong, his busy and diligent quality is very worthy of praise.”
Tiantian’s originally drooping, dejected little head slowly lifted.
He revealed a pair of sparkling eyes that had been washed, and a light gradually lit up in them.
“Really?”
Shen Yuanchuan nodded, and Shen Xiuze, on the side, also chimed in:
“Reward Tiantian with a chicken leg.”
Shen Jinfeng pinched the bridge of his nose. After beating the little brat, the anger in his heart had almost completely dissipated.
After all, he was just trying to help with the cleaning. The little one’s heart was in the right place.
So Shen Jinfeng said:
“It’s all thanks to Tiantian today. Otherwise, we might not have been able to finish cleaning upstairs in one day.”
The proud and triumphant expression on Tiantian’s face couldn’t be hidden at all.
He lifted the corners of his lips and swayed happily from side to side.
“That’s right. I’ve always been such a well-behaved and diligent child.”
After his daily self-praise, Tiantian was happy again and instantly threw the matter of being beaten to the back of his mind.
That’s right, he was that easy to coax.
After dinner, Tiantian finished washing up and jumped onto his small bed, wanting to find a small cookie to eat.
But after looking for a long time, Tiantian belatedly remembered that all his food had been taken away today.
He sighed. Tiantian, who had no extra meal at night, could only lie in bed and sleep obediently.
Shen Yuanchuan was also afraid of this little brat. He specially came over at night to do a spot check to see if he had secretly hidden anything to eat.
Fortunately, Tiantian was very well-behaved tonight and was not caught.
Shen Yuanchuan looked at Shen Tiantian’s well-behaved and fair little face after he fell asleep and couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.
The next day, they were going to start hanging the small lanterns.
Early in the morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, Shen Tiantian climbed out of bed and chose a very festive red outfit.
There were still two days before the New Year. According to the legal holidays, the butler had coordinated the time and had given the aunties and the chefs a day off in advance.
Today, only the butler uncle and Tiantian were left in the Shen family.
Tiantian tucked his little hands in and followed the butler uncle, who was holding a pile of small lanterns, to the lawn in the front yard.
They were going to hang one on each of the lights in the yard and a string on the main gate.
Tiantian is too cute that nobody can resist him even though he’s a little naughty. Love when the dad and his brothers coaxing and praising him 🥹❤️
