Liu slapped her forehead: "Oh dear, we're still by the river!"

She couldn't go with Yang to get the clothes right now, but seeing that Shen Jiahao and Shen Jialu had already changed, she said, "Jiahao, Jialu, go with your third aunt to the river to get your clothes!"

Shen Jiahao and Shen Jialu agreed, quickly put on their raincoats, and followed Madam Yang out.

Liu and Granny Shen also went to greet them, carrying gifts.

Shen Jiawen and Shen Jiaqing, who had just changed their clothes, came out to find the once lively house completely empty.

Shen Jiawen looked at the sudden arrival of spring rain, his face full of joy: "Dad and the others are still in the fields. Grandma and the others have probably gone to pick up Grandpa and the others."

Shen Jiaqing looked into the room: "Why hasn't Fifth Brother come out yet?"

Shen Jialuo loves playing in the water. It had finally rained again, and if her older brother hadn't been carrying her home, she wouldn't have wanted to come back so soon.

Shen Jialuo is the youngest, and usually sleeps with his two older brothers, Shen Jiawen and Shen Jiaqing.

But the clothes he had just hung out to dry had been taken down by Madam Yang and hadn't been folded yet, so they were temporarily placed in Madam Yang and Shen Laosan's room.

Shen Jialuo also went into that room to change clothes just now.

"Jialuo?" The two brothers were suspicious. Their younger brother was still small, and they were afraid something might have happened to him, so they hurried to Yang's room.

To their surprise, when the two of them went in, they saw Shen Jialuo standing blankly on the floor, staring at a lump of flesh on the bed.

Shen Jialuo had just hastily thrown on an undergarment, and was only halfway up her panties when she glanced up and noticed that the neatly arranged blankets on the bed were inexplicably a clump.

Shen Jialuo looked closer and saw a small face wrapped in a dark blue blanket, staring intently at him. The porcelain-white skin appeared even whiter against the dark blanket.

Shen Jialuo was startled, thinking something unclean had entered her parents' room. Her chubby little face turned pale with fright, and she stood frozen in place, too afraid to move or utter a sound.

Shen Lili looked at the young man who had stripped naked as soon as he walked in, blinked, and whispered, "Brother, are you already a virgin?"

Shen Jialuo: !!! It can talk! It's alive! ??

Shen Jiawen and Shen Jiaqing rushed in, only to find their younger brother, who wasn't even fully dressed, and a baby who was wrapped up tightly except for his face.

Shen Lili blinked again. "Oh, two more little brothers have arrived."

Shen Jiawen was taken aback when she saw the unfamiliar little baby in her home. Despite her confusion, she still remembered to remind Shen Jialuo to put her pants on properly.

"Fifth brother, hurry up and put your pants on." Shen Jiawen quickly and gently pulled up his pants, which were stuck on his knees.

Shen Jiaqing was also completely bewildered, hiding behind Shen Jiawen and asking, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

Shen Jiawen was two years older than him. Because of his natural talent for reading, he had learned to read and write from a young age under the tutelage of Shen Laosan, who had already passed the imperial examination for the first time. He was more composed than the other four boys.

Shen Jiawen looked at the fair-skinned, chubby baby, with round almond-shaped eyes, pink lips, and large, grape-like eyes that stared at them with a mixture of curiosity and fear.

Judging from her face, Shen Jiawen judged that it should be a little girl.

Shen Jiawen spoke gently, "Little sister, what are you doing here? This is the Shen family home. Did you come to the wrong place because you were in a hurry to find shelter from the rain?"

Shen Jiaqing and Shen Jialuo also stared intently at Shen Lili, waiting for her answer.

Shen Lili shook her head, then, as if summoning her courage, said in a clear voice, "Lili, Lili won't tie it..."

Shen Lili managed to utter a few words before giving up. It was so difficult for a child with unclear speech to talk! Especially since she felt lightheaded all over, yet her head felt heavy.

Shen Lili simply stopped talking, her eyes constantly shifting between looking up and down, as if she were afraid of them and dared not look at them.

Shen Lili's face flushed bright red; it was really a stretch for her to act cute!

The little girl's blushing face appeared quite differently to the three boys.

Is this little baby shy? This is... just too cute!

The little baby's thin but delicate face flushed crimson, and a few strands of hair peeked out from under his hair as he moved, falling messily beside his face.

The three boys were instantly captivated by Shen Lili's adorable appearance. The Shen family consisted entirely of boys; the five brothers had never known that their little sister could be such a cute creature!

Shen Jiawen quickly caught her name: "Lili? Your name is Lili?"

"Guoguo, Lili!" The little baby tried his best to speak clearly, but his ability was simply too limited.

But the three brothers still recognized the word "brother" from Shen Lili, and for a moment they were all stunned.

She called me "brother"! She's so soft and delicate, so gentle and sweet, completely different from those mischievous boys!

Especially Shen Jialuo, the youngest in the family, both in terms of seniority and age, who had always been called "little brother"; this was the first time anyone had called him "big brother"!

This feeling is just amazing!

The blush on Shen Lili's face silently transferred to Shen Jialuo's. At this moment, Shen Jialuo's heart was completely captivated by this little baby he was meeting for the first time, and he stood there dumbfounded, unsure what to do.

Shen Jiawen and Shen Jiaqing appeared calm on the surface, but their minds were in complete turmoil.

They're very good at taking care of their younger brother, but they've never learned how to get along with their younger sister.

Seemingly ignored, the little baby looked a bit disappointed. After a while, she timidly stretched her hand out from under the blanket and said, "Baby, hug!"

None of the three reacted immediately, but Shen Jiaqing rushed to the bedside the fastest, then asked somewhat flusteredly, "Do you want a hug?"

Shen Lili flashed him a big smile and nodded vigorously: "Mmm! Brother, Lili, hug!"

Shen Jiaqing felt another surge of emotion. She smiled at me! My lovely little sister smiled at me!

Shen Jiaqing felt like her hands and feet had stopped moving. What had been a familiar routine from holding Shen Jialuo countless times now felt like the first time; her limbs were stiff.

Shen Jialuo pushed Shen Jiaqing aside, her small body bursting with immense energy: "I'll do it! I'll carry you!"

Shen Jiawen walked over calmly, pushing his two younger brothers aside one on each side, and skillfully picked up the little baby: "Third brother, you should do it. You're both too small; you might drop him."

Holding tiny Shen Lili in her arms, Shen Jiawen felt immense regret. How could she have suddenly lost her mind?

Another unbalanced Shen Jialuo recognized that Shen Lili was wearing the clothes he wore when he was a child and shouted, "Third brother is bad! My sister is wearing my clothes, I should be the one holding her!"
