On the other hand, from the interaction, Xu Lin knew that these two kids were very smart, completely different from other children.
For instance, when it cos to playing with phones, Suisui and the others don't play with phones; even if given, they won't play, showing great self-control.
Nowadays, children from ordinary families are basically spoiled by phones from a very young age. Not only do they struggle to study, but they also beco nearsighted early on. You should know that more than half of the population in our country is nearsighted, and the proportion among children is significant.
Xu Lin had high hopes for Suisui and An'an, believing they would succeed in the future.
After leaving school, the two went for a al.
Then Xu Lin went ho to get two sets of clothes and a notebook.
At eight in the evening, the journey officially began.
The drive was sixteen and a half hours.
Starting at eight in the evening, even if you drive non-stop, and everything goes smoothly, you would only arrive by twelve-thirty the next afternoon.
But in reality, it's impossible to drive non-stop; you have to stop for restroom breaks or als. Besides, gifts must be prepared for a visit, so Xu Lin also stayed in Guang Mansion for two or three hours to buy gifts.
Xu Lin arrived at Ning Yuhuan's community a little after four in the afternoon the next day.
"Brother-in-law is here!"
"Brother-in-law, I've missed you so much!"
As the door opened, the two kids rushed forward.
Xu Lin noticed that they had grown taller.
"Suisui, An'an, long ti no see!"
During the previous sumr break, Xu Lin told Ning Yuhuan that if he didn't hold them more, he might not be able to hold them in the future.
It wasn't just idle talk—kids are growing fast with good nutrition, and Ning Yuhuan is now 1.74 ters tall, which is quite tall among girls. This ans her family has tall genes, so Suisui, as a boy, might grow to be no less than 1.86 ters, and considering the current growth age of most kids, he might be 1.8 ters tall by the age of twelve or thirteen. Suisui is a girl, at twelve or thirteen, she might be around 1.7 ters tall as well.
"Co on, let brother-in-law give you a hug!"
Xu Lin lifted them both up, one in each arm.
"Have you grown taller?"
"Yes, Suisui is taller!"
"Brother-in-law, An'an too!"
Each said a sentence adorably, making Xu Lin chuckle.
After holding them for a while, Xu Lin put them down. "I'll hug you again later; I brought you a lot of gifts."
"Brother-in-law, what gifts?"
Both were very curious.
Wu Xiulin couldn't help but say, "Lin, you've spent too much again. Every ti you co, you bring so many gifts."
"It's nothing, they don't cost much; as long as the kids are happy."
Xu Lin said with a smile.
Actually, Wu Xiulin might not understand so principles: those who are not lacking in love won't crave love, and those not lacking money won't crave money.
Raising children is a complex matter; reasonable affluent upbringing and instilling the right concept of money can secure their future without needing so-called redies.
You see, Xu Lin's future children, Xu Lin can ensure creating a top-tier affluent family for them and simultaneously ensure they don't beco those wasteful second-generation rich kids.
Wu Xiulin: "But buying so many gifts at once, Auntie feels embarrassed."
"Auntie, there's sothing for you and Uncle too; there are clothes and shoes, and I even bought you a bracelet."
Xu Lin asked Ning Yuhuan to bring them out.
When buying these gifts today, Ning Yuhuan tried to persuade Xu Lin, but he couldn't be persuaded. He wasn't short on money and considered money as dirt; spending it is worthwhile.
"Why did you buy gifts for too?"
Wu Xiulin felt even more embarrassed; she was from the countryside, a typical honest rural woman, unlike those who love petty advantages and gossip about others' family matters. Wu Xiulin was quite cultured; otherwise, she couldn't have raised Ning Yuhuan.
"Auntie, just take it, it's not worth much."
Xu Lin didn't bother with reasoning, knowing that Wu Xiulin wouldn't understand; his thoughts sotis required at least a middle-class family to comprehend. Different social classes have different values, which Wu Xiulin couldn't grasp.
"Alright then, Auntie will take it; Lin, you've been really thoughtful this ti."
Wu Xiulin looked at the bracelet, wondering how much it cost, but thinking it was likely expensive.
At this ti, Xu Lin sat on the sofa and began unpacking the gifts for them.
Suisui and An'an's gifts were different.
Suisui is a boy, so his gifts included car models like Lamborghini, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, etc., totaling five models. Although they weren't cheap, costing several hundred to a thousand each, the craftsmanship wasn't bad.
Other gifts were Transforr models and so other cool figurines that boys like.
For Suisui's gifts, purely toys, Xu Lin spent over twenty thousand.
Similarly for An'an, Xu Lin bought her several stuffed animals, each costing four figures, and Lego sets suited for girls.
Xu Lin considered this spending moderate; he hadn't even touched wealthy children's toys. Toys can truly be expensive, beyond the imagination of ordinary people; a few thousand for a toy is really nothing.
Besides individual toys, there were clothes and shoes for both, also branded items, with several sets of clothes and several pairs of shoes for each. In total, he spent a substantial amount of tens of thousands.
But these clothes and shoes might not last half a year as Suisui and An'an are still growing, and half a year later, their height will be different again, so the clothes and shoes might not fit.
"Brother-in-law, what car is this?"
Suisui picked up the Lamborghini car model, which asured 21 by 9.6 by 5 centiters. It was quite sizeable, and with Suisui being small and having tiny hands, and the model having so weight, he had to hold it with both hands.
