While Xiaoman was speaking, she saw several figures coming in from outside. They were the people who went to pick up Aunt Xiang. Aunt Xiang was also picked up by someone.
"Meet the county lady."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Aunt Xiang is here, it's just right, we have almost finished eating, we can set off now that we have said enough."
While they were talking, the two children immediately got up from their small tables, walked over and held Xiaoman's hands, as if they were afraid that Xiaoman would leave without them.
In this way, Xiaoman became the king of the children and went out with his two younger brothers. When they went out, the little girl Xiaoya seemed to know.
It was as if her sister was going to take her brothers out to play. She pointed at Xiaoman with her cute little finger and babbled, as if she was urging her parents to go together.
Seeing this scene, Hongyue was also amused, and even Chen Da laughed. Hongyue touched the little girl's chubby cheek and said, "Okay, you cute little guy, let's set off now."
When they set out, of course they were a group. Xiaoman was holding one of his younger brothers' hands respectively. Gu Xiangning, who was standing next to them, felt the pressure was a little lower.
Chen Da wanted to laugh when he saw this. He looked at Gu Xiangning's unhappy face, his eyes fixed on Xiaoman's hands, and finally he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Hongyue was following Chen Da, but she didn't notice this. She looked at Chen Da strangely: "Master, what are you laughing at?"
Not to mention Hongyue, even Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning turned around and looked at Chen Da with confusion. Chen Da suddenly felt a little embarrassed and looked at several people.
"I wasn't laughing at anything. I just saw our family was happy together, so I couldn't help but laugh."
This reason was very good and there was no sense of disobedience! So everyone accepted it, except Hongyue, who felt it was a little strange and looked at her master in confusion.
Even if the master was happy, he would not lose his composure like this. Seeing that there was something she didn't know, she looked at Chen Da, and sure enough, Chen Da also gave Hong Yue a look.
The couple walked slowly in tacit agreement. Hongyue looked at Chen Da and smiled, "What on earth were you so happy about just now, Master?"
Chen Da glanced at Gu Xiangning, and Hongyue understood that Chen Da was laughing at Gu Xiangning, but what was so funny about their future son-in-law
When Hongyue was still full of doubts, she heard Chen Da whispering in her ear: "Look at Gu Xiangning's expression. Seeing Xiaoman being held by our son's hand, he must be jealous."
Hearing this, Hongyue found it funny at first, but then thought it was impossible, because he was Xiaoman’s biological brother, and he was so young.
What's wrong with holding hands? Why should I be jealous? However, Hongyue still believed that her master would not say anything nonsense, so she carefully observed Gu Xiangning's expression.
Sure enough, Gu Xiangning's eyes would fall on Xiaoman and his brother's hands from time to time, and his face would become darker. Hongyue found this funny.
He glared at Chen Da and said, "As a father, you discovered something like this, yet you are still smiling so blatantly. Aren't you afraid that Prime Minister Gu will get angry when he finds out?"
Chen Da was somewhat helpless: "Isn't this excuse I just gave a good one? I didn't notice anything, and I was very happy today."
As they were talking, the group walked to the other side of the mountain. As expected, they saw several streets here. It was called a market, but in fact it was close to a small town.
The group walked over, and Chen Qi had a constant smile on her face: "Sister, I've wanted to come here for a long time. I heard that the food there is really delicious."
“But I never had the chance to come.”
When Xiaoman heard this, he turned around to look at his father and mother, and saw them whispering to each other. He didn't know what they were talking about. He was not satisfied to see that his father could find love.
And they were living well, Xiaoman was still very relieved, so she didn't bother the two of them, but touched Chen Qi's head and said, "Then Xiaoqi, tell your sister."
"These are all our shops. Why don't parents let you come here normally?"
Chen Qi thought for a moment before speaking: "Because every time I come here, the uncles and aunts give me delicious food and don't charge me. Mom says that's not good."
Xiaoman felt even more relieved when she heard this. She knew that her younger brother was taught very well by Hongyue. She smiled and rubbed Chen Qi's head again.
"Mother is right. People here don't live very well. Besides, you can't accept gifts without merit, so don't easily accept food of unknown origin. Do you understand?"
Chen Qi nodded, not quite understanding: "Sister, I understand. From now on, I won't eat anything except what my family gives me!"
Chen Kai was also listening nearby. Seeing that his sister only talked to his brother, he was eager to show off, so he followed suit and said, "Sister, sister, Kaikai will also be very obedient."
"Kaikai won't eat it if it's not given by our family."
Xiaoman looked at the little guy's eager look and burst out laughing: "Yes, our Kaikai is also a good boy. Come and give me a hug."
"Are you tired from walking so far?"
Speaking of which, Kaikai is just a 3-year-old kid. It was the first time that Xiaoman took his younger brother out to play, and he really didn’t take any precautions into account, and didn’t think about Kaikai’s affairs.
Not to mention Xiaoman, even Hongyue and Chen Da behind them had ignored Kaikai because of Gu Xiangning's matter. Now Kaikai heard that his sister wanted to hug him.
Suddenly, he was extremely happy and stretched out his hands: "Sister, give me a hug."
In fact, Chen Qi also wanted to be so close to his sister, but he was so big now that his sister couldn't hold him. He looked at Xiaoman holding his second brother with some regret.
When Xiaoman was about to reach out to hug Kaikai, Gu Xiangning, who had been following beside him, seemed to have finally reached his limit and reached out to hug Kaikai.
"I think this little guy is not light, let me hold him."
Xiaoman looked at Gu Xiangning and felt a little puzzled, while Kaikai looked even more aggrieved in Gu Xiangning's arms. Xiaoman just wanted to laugh when he saw him.
I pinched Kaikai's cheek and said, "Hey, what happened to our Kaikai? Your future brother-in-law is hugging you, but you're not happy. Look at your aggrieved face."
Kaikai looked at Xiaoman and said, "Sister, can you hold me? This brother has been looking at me and my brother fiercely since the beginning. I'm scared."
When Xiaoman heard this, he glared at Gu Xiangning: "Gu Xiangning, what are you doing?"
Gu Xiangning was also embarrassed at this time and didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that this child was so sensitive and was paying attention to his expression from beginning to end.
Looking at Xiaoman's eyes, Gu Xiangning didn't know what to say for a moment. Who would have thought that Xiaoqi would also come to join in the fun at this time.
"Yes, sister, I didn't lie. Brother Xiangning just kept looking at your hand, and his face turned darker. Why?"
When Xiaoman heard this, he was very clear about it. He couldn't help laughing out loud and understood it at this time.
What was her father laughing at just now? He must be laughing at this incident. She felt helpless. She never knew that Gu Xiangning had such a side to him.
"Brother, you are so cute!"
Gu Xiangning's face turned even darker. Kaikai, who was held in Gu Xiangning's arms, suddenly became even more frightened and reached out to Xiaoman, "Sister, hug me, I'm scared!"
Xiaoman glared at Gu Xiangning helplessly: "Look at you, you are such a grown-up, but you still can't get along with two children. Come, give me your second brother."
"I'll hold you. You won't feel tired after holding me for a while."
As she spoke, she took Kaikai from Gu Xiangning's arms. As soon as Kaikai was in Xiaoman's arms, he immediately rubbed Xiaoman's face and said, "Sister, I like you the most."
Xiaoman couldn't help laughing: "Sister likes you too. Let's go. Our gardening store is just ahead, right, Dad?"
Chen Da, who was following behind, heard Xiaoman's words, walked up with a smile, and touched his son's head: "Son, come and hold your father, don't tire your sister."
"Our store is just ahead, come quickly."
Looking at Gu Xiangning's dark face, Chen Da was a little worried that Gu Xiangning would directly pull his son down, but seeing that Gu Xiangning was so worried about his daughter.
Chen Da couldn't get angry even if he wanted to. Kaikai in Xiaoman's arms heard that his father wanted to hug him, and he happily reached out his hand to be hugged by his father.
Gu Xiangning's expression looked better then, and the people around him couldn't help laughing when they saw how obvious Gu Xiangning's expression was.
However, he didn't dare to show it and could only hold it in. After a lot of effort, he finally saw a storefront in front of him with the words "Chen's Gardening Shop" written on it. Xiaoman knew that he must have arrived.
As expected, Chen Da walked in first with Kai Kai in his arms. The shopkeeper inside saw that it was his boss who came and hurried out to greet him: "Master."
Chen Da hummed, "Okay, go and clean up the largest private room. I'll bring my daughter over to take a look."
Hearing Chen Da's proud tone, Xiaoman laughed out loud. It felt like those big bosses in modern times.
Bring your own child to inspect the store, and then proudly announce, "This is my daughter, she is so-and-so's daughter!" The visual effect is so funny.
The shopkeeper was also very supportive. After listening to Chen Da's words, he looked at Xiaoman in shock and admiration, then knelt down and said, "I greet the county lady."
Xiaoman was still laughing just now, but suddenly she stopped laughing and looked at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, get up quickly, what are you doing, Dad, look, your daughter is so scary, she scares everyone."
Chen Da patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and said, "Old Zhao, get up quickly. My daughter doesn't like people's big reactions when they see her. Go and prepare the largest private room now."
"We need it."
The shopkeeper then went there in person. After a short while, he was ready and came out to invite them in.
