Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 49


After Chen Yiran bought his popcorn, he dragged Zhen Tian to participate in the three-legged race.

To Zhen Tian, the three-legged race is not difficult but Chen Yiran is still young and his steps are much smaller than hers which increases the difficulty of the game.

However, seeing that the other participants were facing the same problem, Zhen Tian relaxed a bit. She and Chen Yiran found a rope and after practicing twice next to each other, their coordination improved by leaps and bounds.

After feeling that he could win first place in one fell swoop, Chen Yiran finally led Zhen Tian to sign up. In consideration of the children, the track was not long, less than 50 meters. After the referee gave the signal, the parents all grabbed the children's hands and walked forward unsteadily.

Children's balance and coordination are not as good as adults, and it is easy for them to stumble. A lot of children fell down on the track in a short while, but Chen Yiran was still as stable as a mountain, following Zhen Tian to the finish line with flying steps.

Undoubtedly, their group was the first to reach the finish line, not only that, but they also broke the previous record for the shortest time, and got a rare coupon that could be exchanged for rice and meat.

"Great, now we can exchange for a catty of rice and meat!" Chen Yiran happily said to Zhen Tian, holding the voucher.

Zhen Tian patted his head encouragingly. Chen Yiran put away the coupon, looked at her, and blinked twice, "Sister Tiantian, when you see my grandparents tonight, don't be nervous. I'm here! I will definitely behave better than before!"

Zhen Tian was a little embarrassed by what he said and pinched his face, "Then it's up to you tonight."

"Don't worry, I'm definitely more reliable than uncle!"

"Oh, really? Then don't ask me for a gift for Children's Day." At some point, Chen Zui walked up to them and heard their conversation just now.

Chen Yiran hid behind Zhen Tian. Zhen Tian looked down at him and smiled, "You can ask me for it."

"Okay!" Chen Yiran gave Chen Zui a provocative look. Children with an aunt's love sure are different!

When he was running to play other games, Chen Zui said to Zhen Tian who was standing beside him, "You just spoil him like this now, when we get married, won't he be able to go to heaven?"

Zhen Tian sighed, "Hey if there is no assist from Shanshan tonight, it is not certain whether we can get married."

Chen Zui, “....”

He felt that she thought too highly of Chen Yiran's role in their marriage.

The school's afternoon activities lasted until three o'clock. Parents led their children to leave one after another, while the teacher had to stay to clean up the venue, which was also very hard work.

Fortunately, the children performed well. Most of them did not litter the ground, which reduced their workload a lot.

Chen Zui drove Chen Yiran and Zhen Tian to his parent’s place of residence.

Chen Zui's parents live in the teacher's dormitory assigned by the school. Although it's called a dormitory, the environment is good. As Chen Zui's car approached the university town, Zhen Tian began to fidget.

She took out a small mirror from her bag to straighten her hair and touch up her makeup. Seeing her like that, Chen Zui couldn't help laughing, "Stop looking, you’re already very beautiful. If you continue to look, the mirror will be broken by your beauty."

"..." Zhen Tian put away the mirror and glanced at him, "You break the mirror with your handsomeness for me to see."

Chen Zui smiled, "I don't look as good as you."

Zhen Tian let out a "bah" in her heart, "You’re not convincing at all."

Chen Zui opened his mouth. He was about to say something, when he suddenly looked not far ahead and was stunned, "My mother came down to pick us up."

Before they came, he called his mother. She was probably counting the time and came downstairs to wait for them.

Hearing what he said, Zhen Tian's heart was stuck in her throat. She followed Chen Zui's gaze and she saw a woman with short curly hair, "Is that person in the printed dress over there your mother?”

"Yeah." Chen Zui parked the car under a tree, took the gift prepared by Zhen Tian's mother, and opened the car door, "Let’s get out of the car."

"Okay." Zhen Tian let out a breath and got out of the car with Chen Yiran. Chen Yiran held the gift he won at school in one hand, and held Zhen Tian’s hand in the other, When he saw his grandma, he called out sweetly, "Grandma!"

"Hey, Ranran's here." Chen Zui's mother saw them get out of the car, and went up to meet them, "Are the activities at school fun today?"

"It's fun. I also won a lot of food for grandma."

Chen Zui's mother saw that there was indeed a big bag in his hand, so she wanted to take it. Seeing this, Zhen Tian quickly carried it over by herself, "Auntie, I'll just carry it."

The first person Chen Zui's mother saw was her, but since it’s their first meeting, she couldn't stare directly at the girl, so she could only say hello to Chen Yiran first. Now that Zhen Tian took the initiative to speak, she took advantage of the opportunity to look at her. She’s even more beautiful than in the photo Chen Zui showed her.

"Mom, this is Zhen Tian. She came here specially to see you and Dad today." Chen Zui locked the car, walked up to them, and introduced her to his mother. Chen Zui's mother looked at Zhen Tian and said with a smile, "Hello, hello, it's too heavy to carry so many things, let's go upstairs and talk then."

"Okay." Zhen Tian followed behind Chen Zui's mother and exhaled quietly. Chen Zui originally wanted to lead her upstairs, but it turned out that she was holding something in one hand and being led by Chen Yiran in the other, there was no place for him anymore.

Chen Yiran saw Chen Zui's intentions, and raised his eyebrows at him proudly, "Uncle, next time you want to lead aunt, remember to do it faster."

Chen Zui showed him a smile of "I'll deal with you later" and walked to Zhen Tian's side to help take the things in her hand, "Let me carry it."

"No, I have to carry it myself." Zhen Tian guarded the things in her hand.

Chen Zui laughed and stretched out his hand to take the things in her hand, "You don't need to perform this act in this place. I'll just do this kind of physical work."

Although Chen Zui felt that what Chen Zui said was reasonable, Zhen Tian was still uneasy, "But it's not good for me to go up there empty-handed like this, right?"

Chen Zui moved the things in his right hand to his left, pushed Chen Yiran away from her, and took her hand in his, "Okay, now your hands are not empty."

Chen Yiran, "???"

"The elevator is here." Chen Zui's mother, who was walking in the front, turned her head and urged. Her eyes stayed on Chen Zui and Zhen Tian's clasped hands for a moment, and then looked away, "Why are you young people walking so slowly?" .”

"We’re coming." Chen Zui replied with a smile and quickly led Zhen Tian over. Chen Yiran followed behind them, trotted into the elevator, and held Zhen Tian's other hand.

Chen Zui's mother, "..."

It seems that both the adult and child are clinging to her.

Although she didn’t raise Chen Yiran much, she knows that this little ancestor is difficult to wait upon. Most of the blind dates she set for Chen Zui were chased away by him. She had always been worried that even if Chen Zui finally found someone he wanted to marry, but Chen Yiran disagreed, it would be a difficult matter.

Seeing that both he and Chen Zui really liked Zhen Tian, she felt relieved by a lot.

Chen Zui had already informed her and Lao Chen that he had already visited Zhen Tian’s house and met her parents. Rarely, the woman's family doesn't dislike Chen Zui raising a child. She also heard that her family's conditions are not bad.

Chen Zui’s mother looked at Zhen Tian and the more she looked at her, the more she liked.

The elevator dinged and stopped on the floor where Chen Zui's parents lived. After the elevator door opened, Chen Zui's mother warmly guided Zhen Tian. "Come this way."

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhen Tian was led out of the elevator by Chen Zui and walked into the unit behind Chen Zui's mother.

“Lao Chen, they’re here. Come out and greet them.” Chen Zui's mother opened the door and shouted into the house while changing her shoes. Soon, footsteps were coming from inside, and Zhen Tian saw a middle-aged man in a white shirt coming out. She hurriedly called out, "Hello, Uncle."

"Hello, hello, you are Zhen Tian, right? Come in, come in." Chen Zui's father greeted her, and asked Chen Zui's mother, "Where are those pairs of slippers that I bought earlier? Come bring it out."

"You only know how to move your mouth, why don't you know how to take it out yourself?" Chen Zui's mother complained but still took out the new slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them in front of Zhen Tian, "Come, wear these."

"Thank you, Auntie, I can do it myself." Zhen Tian quickly took the slippers. Chen Zui stood behind her, not in a hurry to change shoes. He first handed the things in his hand to his father, "Dad, this is a gift prepared by Zhen Tian and this is the rice and meat that Chen Yiran won for you today. Cook it for him to eat later."

"Okay." Chen Zui's father took the things Chen Zui handed over, and smiled at Zhen Tian, "It's fine you come, there is no need to buy anything."

Zhen Tian smiled, "I did what I was supposed to do. I hope Uncle and Auntie like it."

"We will definitely like the things you gave." Chen Zui's mother waved to Lao Chen to put the things away, and led Zhen Tian into the house herself, "Come, sit down and eat some fruit first."

"Thank you, Auntie, I can do it myself." Zhen Tian took an orange and smiled at her. Chen Zui and Chen Yiran came in after her, sitting on either side of her as if they were the two Dharma protectors on the left and right.

When Lao Chen came out after putting away his things, he saw the situation and said "yo,” “Are you two the Dharma protectors? Xiao Zhen might think we are going to do something to her."

“Haha, Uncle is joking. Oh, I just peeled an orange, do you want to eat it?”

“No, I can peel it myself, You played with Chen Yiran at school all day, are you tired?”

“I’m fine, I had a good time.”

Chen Zui took a slice of orange from her hand and fed it into his mouth, "If he doesn't eat it, I'll eat it. Well, it's quite sweet."

“Heh, I see that Xiao Zhen peeled it so it must be sweet to you.” Old Chen couldn't hold back and spit out, "If you want to eat oranges, learn to peel them yourself."

Chen Zui's mother said, "You still have the nerve to talk about others, don't you think the same? This is called like father, like son."

"Hey, you..." Lao Chen frowned and held himself back, "Forget it, I won't argue with you. We also agreed last time. If there are any problems in the future, we will discuss them civilly, don't engage in unnecessary verbal disputes."

“You think I want to argue with you?”

Listening to their bickering, Zhen Tian felt that Chen Zui's parents were very different from what she had imagined.
