Chapter 346

"What happened? Why are they arguing again?" Xia Ruoan gestured to Leng Zexi to continue eating, and he went over to check the situation.

"Mom, I want this." Niannian held a ceramic doll tightly.

Niannian's eyes were still red, and this time he was determined not to give up to his younger brother.

"I want one too." Ning Ning also shouted after hearing this, "I'm your younger brother, you should give it to me."

Xia Ruoan rubbed his temples and felt a headache.

Leng Zexi walked over worriedly, "We bought three portions, one for each person, why are you fighting over them?"

"There are only two little kids." Ningning looked at her parents aggrievedly.

"There are five of us in our family, mom, dad and two little babies, but Ningning is the only one missing." Ningning couldn't help crying again as she spoke.

Xia Ruoan also noticed the torn ceramic doll. Indeed, it only depicted a family of four. The two dolls were held tightly in the hands of Sui Sui and Nian Nian respectively, one holding a book and the other holding a drawing board and a paintbrush.

"How could you have bought the wrong ones? There are five of us in our family, but you only brought back dolls for a family of four. Which child did you miss?" Xia Ruoan looked at Leng Zexi in confusion.

In fact, the answer is obvious. Suisui loves reading, Niannian is fond of painting, and although Ningning has a wide range of interests, he should at least have his place, otherwise he would not be so sad.

It couldn't be more obvious.

When Leng Zexi saw the ceramic doll, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He turned to his wife and explained, "I really didn't buy this."

How dare he sell it like this? Only buying two dolls for three children, isn't this just asking for trouble?

These three two-year-old twins wanted to touch the dog too because Sui Sui and Ning Ning went out to pet a dog, while Niannian didn't get to pet one at home. As soon as they heard that Sui Sui and Ning Ning had gone out to pet a dog, they started clamoring to do so too. As a result, he had to go out to look for the dog with the children in his arms late at night.

He turned around and looked at Lin Cai who was still eating noodles and shouted, "Lin Cai, look at what you bought."

"What did you buy? I bought three things, three books, three sets of painting supplies, and three small shovels." Lin Cai was eating happily when he was suddenly poured a basin of cold water.

He came over with the bowl in his hand, and when he saw the ceramic doll, he quickly denied it, "I didn't buy it. If anyone doesn't have one, just go out and buy one."

Lin Cai suddenly had an idea, "Oh, now I remember, this seems to be a gift. I only noticed that it was a ceramic doll, but didn't pay attention to the number, so I asked someone to pack them into the suitcase."

At this time, Lin Cai remembered, "Didn't you buy three sets of that limited edition toy, and the owner said he would give you a gift?"

Leng Zexi recalled it and it seemed that this was indeed the case. He was answering the phone at that time and therefore did not pay attention to it.

"Sorry, it was Dad's negligence." Leng Zexi looked at the time. It was already half past nine. It was obviously unrealistic to go out and buy it now.

"I'll take you out tomorrow to buy you something you like, okay?" Leng Zexi said to Ningning.

"No, I want it now." Ningning said stubbornly.

Leng Zexi stared at his face that looked so similar to his wife, tears in his eyes, he almost cried, his heart was full of pity.

Xia Ruoan glanced at the doll that Suisui and Niannian were holding tightly in their hands, and it was difficult for her to ask them to give it to Ningning.

"Mom, I'll take you to a ceramic shop tomorrow and I'll teach you how to make one you like. How about that?" Xia Ruoan gently stroked Ningning's little head, trying to comfort her.

"I want it now. We are a family, but there is no share for me." Ningning said, and finally couldn't hold back her tears, looking extremely pitiful.

Bai Yao was watching from the side and couldn't help but be surprised. Having too many children was indeed a headache.

Bai Yao looked at Leng Zexi with a playful look on his face, and whispered, "There are so many children, and so many requirements. Have you ever considered giving Ningning to me as a son?"

"I promise you that he will definitely receive unique care." Bai Yao continued.

"Don't you plan to get married, have children, and leave everything to him?" Leng Zexi glanced at him sideways.

After listening to this, Bai Yao touched his chin and seemed to be really considering it seriously.

"It's not impossible. I married in order to have a child to inherit my family business. If you are willing to adopt Ningning to me, that's fine." Bai Yao nodded in agreement.

"This joke is not funny at all. I have prepared more than enough for them." Leng Zexi tapped a few times on his phone, found the number and dialed it.

"Are you in the store or at home now? Can you help me?" Leng Zexi asked directly.

The other party was stunned for a moment and replied, "In the store, what's the matter, cousin?"

"Please send me a ceramic doll. It should be a small one, in the style of a cute little boy." Leng Zexi said, "The shop you are renting now is given to you."

After hearing this, Leng Minghui stood up in disbelief and said, "Cousin, is it true?" Her tone was full of surprise, but she also knew that her cousin always kept his word.

"Okay, cousin, I'll send it to you right away. I'll send you pictures of what kind you need."

"Don't you have three little nephews? How can one be enough? Please choose a few more. I will send the pictures to you now." Leng Minghui said after thinking for a while.

"I've already bought two, and I'm still one short." Leng Zexi responded helplessly.

Leng Minghui understood. She had a twin brother and they were like this when they were children. They always had to buy exactly the same things, otherwise they would argue endlessly.

"Cousin, this is not like your style. You are not short of money. Wouldn't it be better to solve the problem by buying one more?" Leng Minghui said with a hint of sarcasm.

Leng Zexi's mouth twitched slightly, "This is really an accident, please send the picture over."

"Okay." Leng Minghui heard her cousin's helpless tone for the first time. In their minds, this cousin always had everything under control. It seemed that he would only show a hint of embarrassment when facing his sister-in-law and nephews.

Leng Zexi took the tablet, logged into WeChat, and then handed it to Ningning. "Your aunt Minghui will send the pictures over. You can choose the one you like and she will send it to you later."

"Okay, wipe your tears, pick two that you like, and pick one each for Suisui and Niannian." Leng Zexi said, stroking his hair.

He waved to Sui Sui and Nian Nian, motioning them to come over and choose together.

"Ningning, apologize to your brothers." Leng Zexi looked at Ningning and said.

"Why? They have it, but I don't." Ningning was unwilling to accept it.

"They have it, but you don't. It's dad's negligence. Dad apologizes to you." Leng Zexi stared at Ningning and said softly.

"But, what happened just now was that they took the doll first. If you really want it, you can tell mom and dad, and we will buy it for you, but you can't take it away from your brothers. Remember, even though you are the younger brother, it doesn't mean that your brothers should always give in to you."

"In fact, you are the same age, just born in different orders. In the true sense, there is no question of who is older or younger."

"You are a child, and so are they. You can't ask for special treatment just because you are young. It's not fair to them."

Leng Zexi didn't want Ningning to form such an idea.

"Ningning, apologize to Nian Nian." Xia Ruoan agreed with Leng Zexi's point of view.

Seeing her parents’ suggestion, Ningning nodded and looked at Nian Nian, “Niannian, I’m sorry.”

Niannian shook her head and handed over the doll in her hand, "I'll lend it to you to play with for a while. When your doll arrives, return it to me."

"I'll lend you my doll as well." Seeing this, Sui Sui also handed the doll in his hand to Ning Ning.

Ningning saw this scene and smiled happily.

"Thank you Suisui and Niannian." Ningning turned to them to express her gratitude.

"Okay, choose for yourselves." Leng Zexi opened the picture and let them choose.

Xia Ruoan witnessed all this, with a flash of amazement in his eyes, "It's so beautiful."

"Do you like these? Then I'll ask her to send some other ones that girls like for you to choose from." Leng Zexi said and sent a message to Leng Minghui.

"Is this okay?" Xia Ruoan was a little worried, wondering if this would make her seem a little childish.

"Of course, as long as you like it. After all, the money has been paid." Leng Zexi comforted her and told her not to worry too much.

"By the way, who is this Minghui? How come I didn't know you had a cousin?" Xia Ruoan asked curiously.

"She is Zehui's twin sister. She has been very individual since she was young. She insisted on learning how to make ceramics, but ended up having a falling out with her family and eventually going abroad. She came back recently and asked me to rent a shop and started selling her own handmade ceramics," Leng Zexi explained to her.

Although we are cousins, our families have a common ancestor - our grandfathers are half brothers. Leng Zexi's family has only one son from generation to generation, and there are three sons so far. On the other hand, my great-uncle's family is very prosperous, not to mention the number of illegitimate children is also considerable.

However, these illegitimate children never dared to show up in front of Leng Zexi's family. Even though they were favored by their uncle, illegitimate children were not eligible to participate in family gatherings and dared not be brought into the venue.

Therefore, the cousins acknowledged by Leng Zexi were actually only Zehui and Minghui.

Only then did Xia Ruoan begin to have some impression.

Xia Ruoan chose a small house with a garden.

"Dad, can I choose one for Wen Yi?" Ningning looked up at her father and asked with anticipation in her eyes.

"Of course." Leng Zexi nodded with a smile, and the image of the child appeared in his mind.

Suisui, Niannian and Ningning quickly picked out the dolls they liked.

Bai Yao looked at the time and realized it was getting late, so he asked Leng Zexi for Gu Xingchen's contact information, picked up the unfinished tomatoes, said goodbye and left in a hurry.

"Third brother, you just rest here tonight." Xia Ruoan said to Lin Cai.

"Okay." Lin Cai also felt that driving home was too troublesome, so he agreed.

"Follow your uncle upstairs." Xia Ruoan said to the children while helping to clean up the kitchen.

They were tired.
