Translator: 549690339

Today’s gathering was supposed to be simple, but still enough people to fill two tables had come.

When they sat down, the guests naturally divided into male and female groups. Liu Sisi took a seat near the corner, where she wasn’t too close to everyone else and could easily avoid any unwanted attention.

But as soon as she sat down, YingEr naturally carried her small bowl and sat beside Sisi, “Mom! YingEr wants you to help me with the meat.”

“Alright! Come, YingEr, sit next to Mom.”

Liu Sisi happily pulled YingEr to her side.

“Sisi, your body is different now, you can’t be like before. YingEr is obedient, come to Auntie.” Guihua immediately stretched out her hand, trying to take YingEr away.

But YingEr’s face changed, and she seemed to be on the verge of crying, “No! YingEr wants Mom to help.”

“Listen! Your mother’s body is not in the best state right now, and you can’t be too close to her. What if something happens? That would be terrible!” Guihua said, somewhat annoyed.

She could not pinpoint the exact feeling she had, feeling happy for Sisi being pregnant, but also worried that Sisi might treat Xuan’er and YingEr harshly now that she would have her own child. Wasn’t Ms. Zhao a living example of this?

YingEr naturally refused to comply and couldn’t help but cry, “No! YingEr wants Mom’s help, I don’t want Auntie Guihua’s…”

“Let YingEr stay with me! Our YingEr is the most sensible, aren’t you?”

Sisi gently pulled YingEr to her side.

But YingEr couldn’t stop crying, even letting her tears fall.

“This child…why is she so obstinate?” Guihua also felt helpless.

The Land Officer’s wife quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks, “How about YingEr comes to Grandma? You can sit and eat with Sister Ah-Min.”

“I won’t! I just won’t!” YingEr had a stubborn look on her face.

“You all eat first. I’ll take YingEr to play for a while.”

Seeing YingEr cry, Liu Sisi felt her heart sour and hurriedly pulled her little hand, walking to the other side to open the grass curtain and sit on the bed, “Don’t cry, be good! Our YingEr is the best-behaved. Stop crying now.”

“Okay, YingEr won’t cry!” YingEr felt wronged and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Sisi took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her tears, “Wait a while, Mom will help our YingEr with the food. Don’t cry, okay?”

YingEr pouted and sobbed sadly for a moment.

“YingEr, there is either a little brother or sister in Mom’s belly. Will YingEr love him (her)? Just like Xuan’er loves YingEr?”

YingEr pouted and asked with a grievance, “Mom, where is my little brother or sister? Why can’t YingEr see them?”

“Now the little brother or sister is still too small, growing slowly in Mom’s belly. Just like the fruits you planted, they grow slowly on the tree until they ripen and fall off the branch. It is the same for your little brother or sister. When he (she) is big enough, you will be able to see him (her). Will you like him (her)?”

Liu Sisi gently persuaded her.

She truly loved those two children as if they were her own.

YingEr obediently nodded, “I will definitely like my little brother or sister, just like how brother loves YingEr.”

“Good! Our YingEr is really well-behaved!”

Liu Sisi happily kissed her cheek: “Do you want to touch your little brother or sister? Come! Gently touch them. Once they grow bigger, you’ll be able to meet them.” She then took YingEr’s hand and placed it on her own belly.

YingEr curiously and gently touched Liu Sisi’s belly, lowering her head for a closer look. “Little brother or sister, you have to be well-behaved. Later, YingEr will definitely be a good older sister.”

“YingEr, do you know why Auntie doesn’t let you get close to mom? Because she’s afraid you might accidentally hurt your sister in mom’s stomach due to being too rough. Just like a little fruit on a tree, it will fall and be gone if you touch it. Our YingEr is the most capable and sensible, and will always be gentle, right?”

“Yes! YingEr will be gentle from now on and won’t hurt the child in mom’s stomach.”

YingEr solemnly nodded her head.

“Such a good girl! Our YingEr is the best-behaved! Come, mom will get you some food and fill your little stomach.” Liu Sisi happily said.

“Okay! Little brother and sister must be hungry too. Let’s go eat.”

YingEr happily jumped up but quickly stopped herself when she thought of Liu Sisi’s belly and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

“Let’s go, mom! It’s time to eat!”

After saying this, she happily led Liu Sisi by the hand toward the table.

The originally sad YingEr quickly came out laughing and happily picked up some meat on her own, placing it in Liu Sisi’s bowl. “Mom! You eat this meat. When you eat, my little brother or sister will grow faster and come out sooner.”

“Alright, our YingEr should eat too.” Liu Sisi said, also picking a lean piece of meat into YingEr’s bowl.

This harmonious scene caused various expressions among the crowd.

Especially Xuan’er, who nearly broke the bamboo chopsticks in his hand.

He was also eight years old and naturally understood the implications. Thus, the arrival of this unknown brother or sister made him feel threatened. He definitely wouldn’t be like YingEr, easily placated by the opponent after a few words!

Di Xuan thought about this while eating his meal with resentment and a distant look on his face.

Of course, Di Yelei noticed this. He simply picked up some food and placed it into Xuan’er’s bowl without saying anything.

Meanwhile, the Land Officer was happily persuading everyone to drink rice wine. Clearly, he was the happiest person for having helped the Di family buy the house and land contracts.

The women’s table finished earlier than the men’s table, and soon all the children ran to the hall and gathered around Di Xuan’s four treasures of the study, enviously asking questions.

At this moment, Di Xuan had an immense sense of pride. He taught everyone about the uses of the different objects and even drew a picture on the spot. The lifelike drawing instantly lit up the eyes of all children present!

“Xuan’er, did your mom teach you all this? She’s so amazing to know so much!”

Zhang Yun stared with wide eyes, only now realizing Di Xuan’s talents and couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up in praise.

Di Xuan lifted his head proudly, “Mom is even better at painting. I only learned a little bit…”

As he spoke, Di Xuan became embarrassed.

Zhang Yun was especially intrigued, “Xuan’er, do you think… the teacher at the village school in town is even better than your mom?”

“No way, mom is the most amazing!”

Di Xuan said seriously. He would never allow others to casually slander his mom’s reputation.
