After dressing the little guy, Xu Mumu put on her coat, did a simple ponytail, and walked out of the room with the little guy.

Outside, it unexpectedly started to snow, leaving a thin layer of snow in the courtyard, no wonder it’s so cold.

When Xu Mumu got up, Xu Minghui was already awake, but the others were still not up.

"Big brother." The little guy recognized his brother, even after being in the Imperial City for almost two months, he hadn’t forgotten him.

The little guy reached out to be held by his big brother, it was so cold outside, he knew he should have stayed in bed.

"Why are you up so early? Why not sleep a bit more? It’s so cold," Xu Minghui lifted his little brother up. Although the little guy was a bit heavy, it was nothing for him.

"Couldn’t sleep, the little brother wakes up early. Are you adjusting to the bed, waking up so early?" Xu Mumu asked while looking at Xu Minghui.

"Not really, I just couldn’t sleep. I just got up," Xu Minghui said with a smile.

"Sister, I’m hungry." Seeing his brother and sister talking without paying attention to him, the little guy said pitifully.

"I’ll get you some peach crisp, play nicely with big brother, okay?" Xu Mumu said helplessly and went to the main room to get a piece of peach crisp for the little guy, not too much since breakfast was coming soon.

After calming the little guy, Xu Mumu went to the kitchen, boiled some water for face washing, then started making poached eggs, while other family members gradually got up.

Old Xu and Professor Jian cleared the snow in the courtyard after coming in, fortunately, the snow wasn’t thick. By the time Xu Mumu brought the poached eggs to the table, the courtyard was already cleared of snow.

Everyone got two poached eggs with some fermented glutinous rice added in, Xu Mumu quite enjoyed the taste of the poached eggs.

Probably from watching Mrs. Liu cook a lot, she felt her cooking skills had slightly improved, at least much better than in her past life.

For the little guy, Xu Mumu only gave him one poached egg. Although he had a good appetite, Xu Mumu still controlled her little brother’s snacks every day.

Fengfeng was chubby and very cute, but Xu Mumu had no intention of letting him get any more chubby, being too fat wasn’t good for his health.

The little guy ate happily with great appetite.

Xu Minghui was also eating poached eggs, feeling a bit complicated. Previously, his sister never did these things, although he didn’t know why his sister had changed so much, he wasn’t planning to ask more. At least his sister was doing well now and was very happy.

After breakfast, the little guy couldn’t sit still and wanted to go out for a stroll.

Madam Chen gave him a scarf and hat, finally taking him out, with Xu Minghui accompanying.

Xu Mumu stayed at home, Xu Minglei surprisingly took out his books to read, he brought his study materials along.

Xu Mumu watched from the side, understanding her little brother’s learning progress better. It was evident that the little guy hadn’t slacked off at home.

She started to converse with the little guy in English, and simple conversations posed nearly no pressure. Xu Mumu was pleased with Xu Minglei’s learning progress.

He was currently in the third year of junior high, his level of English seemed like level 4 now. Wanting to participate in the English speech competition, winning a small prize wasn’t impossible. With more effort and a bit of luck, he could even aim for the big prize.

Xu Minglei had his study plan and was writing some speech drafts.

Xu Mumu reviewed them for him, the writing was standard, not outstanding, but enough to handle preliminary rounds.

After realizing his shortcomings, Xu Minglei wanted Xu Mumu to tutor him.

In the next few days, Xu Mumu wasn’t planning to mess with her equipment next door, since her little brother wanted to achieve better results, she was very willing to help.

Xu Mumu carefully taught him some speech techniques and things to avoid.

Xu Mumu found her little brother to be quite smart, when she mentioned something twice, he could remember it; he seemed to have a knack for learning English.

"This kid is impressive, learns things quickly, just like his sister," Professor Song said with some emotion while observing the serious teaching-and-learning scene between the siblings.

"Indeed, this kid learns English well. If he keeps it up, he could become a diplomat in the future," Professor Jian said with a smile.

Xu Minglei listened while hearing Professor Song’s remark. His ears secretly turned red; they said he was like his sister. He wanted to be as great as his sister in the future. He already knew what a diplomat was, seemingly a very influential official. So perhaps he could become a diplomat in the future?

If he became an official, then brother-in-law certainly wouldn’t dare to bully his sister.

Thinking like this, he started to drift off.

"What are you thinking about? Did you take in what I just said?" Xu Mumu paused and noticed her little brother wasn’t responding. She looked up and saw the little guy was dazing.

"No, not thinking anything, sorry, sis, could you go over this part again?" Xu Minglei’s face turned red, embarrassed as he looked at Xu Mumu.

Xu Mumu glanced at Xu Minglei a couple more times without inquiring about what he was thinking.

Xu Minglei was already a young lad, having personal secrets was normal.

Xu Mumu went over the part again, fortunately, the little guy came to his senses, and now he was studying seriously, which reassured Xu Mumu.

Diligent study always made time pass quickly, by noon, Madam Chen cooked while seeing Xu Mumu and the rest were busy studying, choosing not to disturb them.

In the afternoon, snowflakes started falling again, the little guy wanted to run to the courtyard to play, but was stopped by Madam Chen and others; the little guy’s mouth pouted so high he could hang an oil can.

Xu Mumu gave him an egg cake, but it still didn’t cheer him up, although he didn’t insist on going outside.

"I heard the weather forecast saying there will be some light snow these days," Professor Song said moodily; under such weather, Yin Yang would have to wait for the snow to stop before catching a flight back.

Professor Song’s words were known to Xu Mumu, thinking that Yin Yang would be late to return upset her mood.

In the afternoon, Duan Yunkai came over again to play, surprising him when he saw Xu Mumu tutoring her brother.

"Having multiple siblings is nice." Duan Yunkai said enviously.

"Of course it is nice. If you’re envious, I heard the dean plans to find you a wife, so you can have several children," Xu Mumu said with a light smile.

Duan Yunkai, being lively and speaking straightforwardly, was fairly good-looking. Finding a wife wouldn’t be difficult.

"I’d better not, I want to have fun for a few more years, not ready for family responsibilities." Duan Yunkai said with a headache and picked up a snack. He genuinely wasn’t ready to marry, currently, he was still studying, hadn’t started working, and was dependent on his grandfather. How would he support a wife? Besides, he hadn’t met the right person yet.
