"Xiao Hao, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Um... What question, Brother-in-law? Go ahead, I'll tell you everything I know!"

"Well..."

Yang Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Suppose—I'm just saying suppose—that I have all the plots of a movie in my mind, including character dialogue, expressions, and the surrounding environment. If I want to adapt this movie into a script, is it difficult?"

"Uh..." Qin Hao was momentarily stunned, looking at him with some confusion. "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"Nothing, just wanted to understand it a bit," Yang Qing smiled. "Just tell me, is it hard or not?"

"If you already have those plots in your mind, then it's not hard," Qin Hao replied earnestly. "Of course, starting from zero foundation definitely won't work. You'd first need to systematically learn how to write a script, and then put the plots from your mind into script form."

"Oh, is that so? Do you know any teachers in this field around Yangcheng?" Yang Qing mused.

Qin Hao blinked in surprise. "Uh... Brother-in-law, what are you trying to do?"

Yang Qing: "Study, learn how to write a script."

"You?! Write a script! Stop joking. You're a piano master, what are you doing writing scripts? That's not attending to your proper business," Qin Hao waved his hand and laughed.

"Heh..." Yang Qing looked at him with a faint smile. "I even filmed a movie with you, was that not proper business?"

"Uh..."

Qin Hao crashed. After a long pause, he gave a dry laugh. "You're... serious?"

"Mm, serious," Yang Qing said. "What if one day I really have a complete movie plot in my head, but end up unable to write it down? Wouldn't that be rather tragic?"

Hearing this, Qin Hao looked at Yang Qing very seriously, and Yang Qing returned his gaze with a serious smile.

"Fine."

After a while, Qin Hao said speechlessly, "Then I'll find a screenwriter teacher for you later, and you can go study. Ah... Brother-in-law, you really..."

"Thank you."

Yang Qing interrupted him, saying very earnestly, "Then please contact someone as soon as possible, Xiao Hao. Ideally, I can start taking classes tomorrow!"

Qin Hao: ......

……

At four in the afternoon, the airplane landed at Yangcheng Airport.

"Little darling, wake up quickly, we've arrived."

Qin Xue gently patted little Qiu'er's little face, waking up the little one.

"Mmph~ Sister~~"

Little Qiu'er blinked her sleepy eyes open somewhat fuzzily, then cutely rubbed them with her tiny hands, looking out the window with a babyish, milky chirp.

Eh? Why did people become small again! What about the clouds, where did they go! The airplane... why is the airplane not flying anymore!

Three big question marks flashed rapidly through her little brain, and then, realizing what was happening, she cried out in surprise:

"Sister! We've arrived! We're home!"

"Mhm, we're here, you little sleepyhead."

"Hehe..."

……

On Wuyi Street, inside the small shop.

"Sister, sister! Is Qiu'er really coming back today?"

"Mhm, she's really coming back. You've already asked three times, why are you still asking?"

"Hiahia... Xi'er is still a little baby, little babies don't remember how many times they've asked."

Tan Jin'er: (╯＿╰)

"Alright, alright, stop bothering your sister. Go upstairs and play with Dong'er."

"Hiahia... Dong'er peed her pants, Xi'er only knows how to take Dong'er's pants off, doesn't know how to put them back on, hiahia..."

Tan Jin'er (⊙??⊙): "So you came to call for your sister."

"Hiahia..." Little Xi'er laughed loudly. "Dong'er has a bare butt!"

Tan Jin'er looked at her little sister with amusement. What a big-hearted little baby; shouldn't something like this be reported immediately?

"Sister Jin'er, go ahead, I'll watch things here," Bai Lingyue, who was selling xiaolongbao, said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll be right back."

Tan Jin'er nodded, then took little Xi'er by the hand and walked upstairs.

On the bed in the small second-floor bedroom, little Dong'er, with her little bare bottom, was babbling in a milky voice as she tried to put a small piece of clothing onto her little legs.

Kicking her little feet, eh... one little leg got through.

Heave-ho, heave-ho... now for the other little foot, getting the other little leg through...

Thus, when the two Tan sisters reached the small bedroom, they froze in unison as they looked at little Dong'er on the bed.

"Hiahiahia... I'm dying of laughter, I'm going to die of laughter!"

A moment later, little Xi'er pointed her tiny finger at little Dong'er, who was looking at the two sisters with babbling, milky cries on the bed, and burst into loud laughter.

Little Xi'er laughed until her waist bent, laughed until tears streamed down her face, and laughed so hard she clutched her little tummy, saying her little tummy hurt from laughing.

Tan Jin'er gave a speechless look to her little sister, who had already collapsed onto the floor from laughing, and then walked over to the bedside with a soft smile. She reached out to pick up little Dong'er and said gently:

"Darling, why did you put your little top on like a pair of little pants? Come here, Sister will put it on right for you."

Little Dong'er: ??_??

Wasn't what baby wore correct? Baby's outfit was super awesome~

"Hiahiahia..."

Little Xi'er couldn't stop laughing until Bai Lingyue's voice came from the doorway:

"Dorky, what's wrong with you! Have you laughed yourself silly..."

"Hiahia... Bai... hiahia... Dong'er... Dong'er... Oh dear, my tummy hurts, hiahia..."

Bai: →_→

"Sister Jin'er, has the dorky one gone silly?"

Tan Jin'er: ......

Little classmate Bai, how do you expect me to answer that?

Speechless, she quickly put the little pants on little Dong'er properly, then looked at her little sister, who was sprawled on the floor clutching her belly and crying with laughter. She couldn't help smiling either:

"Alright, Xi'er, stop laughing already, get up."

With that, she stepped forward, picked up little Xi'er, pulled her into her arms, and gently patted her little back.

After a good while, Xi'er finally caught her breath, her little mouth wide open as she panted. She had almost laughed herself breathless just now.

"Alright, you and Bai go play with Dong'er, Sister has to go get busy."

Tan Jin'er saw that her little sister had caught her breath and stood up. As she was leaving the door, she still couldn't resist parting with a warning:

"Xi'er, you aren't allowed to laugh like that anymore. Bai, keep an eye on her."

"Mm-hmm!" Bai nodded and said, "Sister Jin'er, don't worry, I'll watch the dorky one!"

"Mhm."

Tan Jin'er left; she was still in the middle of business and had to go back to work.

Little Xi'er happily looked at Bai, her little mouth splitting into a grin: "Bai... hiahia, quack!"

Just as little Xi'er's laughter escaped, her little mouth was covered by a small palm.

"Not allowed to laugh!"

Little classmate Bai was currently an emotionless supervisor.

Little Xi'er: (??｀??Д????)

……

"Brother Hao, look! That's our shop over there!"

At the entrance of Wuyi Street, little Qiu'er bounced her little body, pointed into the distance, and said proudly:

"Those uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, they all come to buy the xiaolongbao and jianbing guozi my brother makes! They're so, so fragrant!"

Hearing this, Qin Hao stared blankly at the long queue of diners for a long time before dumbly asking: "That must really smell delicious, but your brother is right here. Who's making them?"

"Hehe... It's Sister Jin'er!" Little Qiu'er said cheerfully. "Brother taught Jin'er, and then Sister Jin'er started making them just as deliciously as Brother does!"

Qin Hao was stunned once more. He turned his head to look at Yang Qing, who seemed to understand what he was thinking and nodded, saying, "Jin'er is a younger sister I recognize, so it's fine."

"Oh, oh, alright then, let's hurry up and go." Qin Hao nodded with a smile.

"We're going home!"

Little Qiu'er immediately darted forward like a happy little rabbit, "whoosh."

She rushed into the shop like the wind, then her little body halted. She split her little mouth into a grin toward Tan Jin'er and Bai Lingyue and said:

"Sister Jin'er, Sister Lingyue, we're back!"

With that, even before the two girls could reply, she "whooshed" and ran toward the second floor.

"Dong'er, Bai, Xi'er, I'm back!"

The three little toddlers, who had been squatting on the floor playing, froze in place. Then, two little figures rushed over in pleasant surprise.

"Hiahia... Qiu'er is back!"

"Horo... Let me give you a hug!"

The three little toddlers hugged each other happily and excitedly.

"Mmph~ Sister~~ Hugs~~"

Little Dong'er wiggled her little bottom as she squeezed her way over, aggrievedly stretching out her little hands and babbling in a milky voice for a hug.

"Dong'er~"
