Chapter 164: Death without surprising words
During this period, Li Jianqing went back to her husband's family home. Her mother-in-law had been hospitalized for a while, and Zhao Hui couldn't leave, so Li Jianqing went back alone. After staying for a few days, she thought of Shu Yun's lovely children and, for some reason, brought the two children over.
Of course, there was also the fear that the two children would be too noisy and not conducive to the mother-in-law's recovery. Furthermore, the father-in-law was already too busy taking care of the mother-in-law, and it wouldn't be good if there was no one to take care of the two children.
Just then, two children, a boy and a girl, ran over from the male guests' table. They seemed to be lively.
Li Jianqing waved to the two of them, "Come on, Xiaoshui, Xiaolan, say hello to Aunt Shu."
"Hello, Auntie," the two children said in unison. Shu Yun smiled and said, "Hello, auntie."
"Auntie, you're so pretty! My name is Zhao Pingshui, but you can just call me Xiaoshui." The little boy said casually.
The little girl immediately followed, "Me too, me too! My name is Zhao Pinglan, Auntie, you can just call me Xiaolan."
After saying that, the little girl glanced at Shu Yun again, wiggled her little body, and said, "Auntie, I like you. You are so beautiful."
Shu Yun: "Xiao Shui and Xiao Lan are also very cute, and Auntie likes you very much too."
Shu Yun patted the two children's heads, and the two children immediately grinned and showed their teeth, glancing at their mother Li Jianqing from time to time. The meaning in their small eyes was very clear: Look at her, how gentle she is, learn from her.
Li Jianqing rolled her eyes, took a bite of food to suppress the rising anger in her heart. She wondered who this little brat took after? It certainly wasn't her! As she spoke, she glared at Zhao Hui, who was happily eating at another table.
Zhao Hui...why do I feel a chill down my spine?
The baby, lying in Shu Yun's arms, felt neglected and made meaningless syllables, trying to attract Shu Yun's attention.
The two children stood on tiptoe to look, "Wow, the little brother is so cute! Can we touch him?"
Before Shu Yun could speak, Li Jianqing gave each of them a flick on the forehead, saying, "What are you touching? Your little hands are dirty. Your little brother is so clean, you're not allowed to touch him."
Xiao Shui pouted and rubbed her head. "Mom, we're all big kids now. You can't hit me in public anymore. It's so embarrassing for me."
Xiaolan nodded in agreement, "Yes, brother is right. Mom, you can't hit me and brother, otherwise, I'll tell Grandma next time."
The child's innocent remarks caused the military wives at the table to burst into laughter. "Oh my, your child is such a treasure, so funny!"
Ignoring the adults' laughter, the child earnestly asked Shu Yun, "Auntie, can we touch my little brother after we've washed our hands?"
Shu Yun smiled and nodded. The two children immediately ran away. When they came back, their little hands were clean and they were breathing on them to warm them. They said expectantly, "Auntie, we washed our hands. They're warm now, so they won't make our little brother feel cold."
Shu Yun nodded in agreement, "Be gentle, or your little brother will feel pain."
The two children nodded solemnly, only daring to gently poke the baby's chubby cheeks with their little fingers. The baby always had a good temper when he was with his mother, and he wasn't angry at all when his cheeks were poked a few times. Instead, he happily made "ah ah ah" sounds, blowing bubbles from his little mouth, and looking at the two children with his big, dark eyes.
Xiaolan exclaimed in delight, "Wow, my little brother is so cute! I love him so much!"
Li Jianqing pulled the two children to her side, saying, "Alright, you've touched them enough. If you touch your little brother again, he'll get angry. Come and eat first."
As she spoke, she set out two more bowls and served some food to the two children. The children squeezed between Shu Yun and Li Jianqing, so Shu Yun had no choice but to move her chair to the side, getting closer to Wang Chunmei. Wang Chunmei glanced at the swaddled baby in Shu Yun's arms, and just then her eyes met the baby's. The baby immediately smiled, looking very endearing. Wang Chunmei couldn't help but smile, but because of her casual relationship with Shu Yun, she was too embarrassed to ask to hold the child.
The twins were completely at ease, ordering their mother around to eat this and that, their little mouths greasy and their bellies bulging. Li Jianqing, on the other hand, only ate a few bites of vegetables and was still hungry.
As soon as the twins finished eating, they immediately set their sights on the baby lying obediently in Shu Yun's arms and said to Li Jianqing, "I like this little brother. Let's take him home today. I want to sleep with him."
Xiao Lan immediately raised her hand eagerly, almost jumping for joy, "I want one too, I want one too! My little brother smells so sweet and milky, I want one too!"
Li Jianqing's lips twitched, and he refused without hesitation, "No, this isn't our child. My younger brother has his own home and sleeps with his mother at night."
The twins pouted unhappily, "Then let the younger brother become our child. Mom, you can be the younger brother's mom, and my brother and I will take care of him."
For a moment, the dinner table erupted in laughter again. Shu Yun awkwardly hugged her chubby son. The excitement from the female guests reached the male guests' area. Gu Jun, who had been keeping a close eye on Shu Yun since she sat next to Wang Chunmei, worried that she might be mistreated, immediately looked up when he heard the commotion. A military wife saw him and laughed, "Little Gu, your baby is about to be snatched away! Old Zhao's family is fighting over him."
Gu Jun: ...What's going on?
Li Jianqing gave the two little ones another pat on the back without any hesitation. "Don't even think about it. Your little brother has his own parents. Why don't you go and be Aunt Shuyun's children? Do you think Aunt Shuyun will want you?"
Li Jianqing was just saying it casually, but the two children took it seriously and said something surprising: "That's not impossible."
Xiao Lan chimed in, "I'll follow Aunt Shu Yun, and I'll be just as beautiful as her too."
Xiao Shui chimed in, "And there are delicious egg tarts too."
The egg tarts that Shu Yun brought were placed on the dining table by Zou Feng, and they were all eaten up in no time. The two children took one and shared it. Their hearts had been captured by the fragrant egg tarts from the start, and after learning that they were made by Aunt Shu Yun, they liked her even more.
I can't even imagine how wonderful it must be to be Aunt Shuyun's child!
The twins were in the middle of a wonderful fantasy, but before they could even utter the word "Mom," Li Jianqing, unable to bear it any longer, kicked them both at their father, Zhao Hui, yelling, "You wretched thing!"
Shu Yun chuckled, "What do kids know? If they really came to my house, I guarantee they wouldn't last more than a few days before crying for their mothers."
Li Jianqing shook his head. The twins were too lively, running around in the yard. Li Jianqing was afraid they would break the owner's things, so he followed behind the twins to clean up the mess. Shu Yun lowered her head and kissed her precious son, hoping that he would behave in the future.
The baby, who had just been kissed by his mother, became even more energetic, waving his little fists. He was lively and adorable, making Wang Chunmei, who had been secretly watching, drool with envy.
"Um, Shuyun, can I hold the baby for a bit?" Wang Chunmei asked shyly.
