Chapter 258 This girl wouldn't have taken after me, would she?

Old Su laughed heartily and said, "Look at our greedy girl. She's been eating so much since she was little. She'll definitely be a foodie when she grows up."

Li Banxia glanced at him.

He said, "When you were little, you used to gnaw on table legs. If I wouldn't let you, you'd sit on the ground, hug my legs, and wail, saying, 'Why can my second brother gnaw on bones but I can't gnaw on table legs...'"

Su Laosan looked bewildered and turned to Su Laoda, "Is this something I would do?"

"Is that so...?"

Su Laoda pursed his lips, suppressing a laugh, his eyes brimming with amusement. "I'm only two years older than you, so I don't remember this, but it's true that you've been a big eater since you were little, and you can eat anything."

Su Laosan, "..."

He raised an eyebrow, leaned closer to the little girl with a sly grin, and said, "Big brother, sister-in-law, this girl didn't take after me, did she?"

The eldest daughter-in-law's heart skipped a beat.

She thought to herself that it wouldn't be a good thing if she inherited her third uncle's lazy and gluttonous nature.

The eldest son's wife couldn't smile, and the eldest son also withdrew his smile.

Li Banxia raised his hand and slapped Su Laosan on the back of the head.

He said, "What do you mean, 'whatever'? You're lazy, good-for-nothing, and have no ambition? How dare you say that?"

"Oh, Mom, I've changed now, haven't I?"

While scratching his head and making exaggerated gestures, Su Laosan muttered, "Who hasn't been young and impetuous at some point? There's a saying that goes, 'There's always a way out,' and 'Learning is a boundless sea, and diligence is the only boat to cross it...'"

Su Laoda and his wife exchanged a glance and decided they shouldn't give this as a gift; it was a bit scary.

No sooner had the two finished exchanging glances than they saw the baby, only a few months old, clapping his hands and grinning at Su Laosan.

Su Laosan was even happier.

She said, "Mom, look, this little girl also thinks what I said is good."

Li Banxia closed his eyes and said, "After the first month of the lunar calendar, you can add another idiom dictionary and a collection of poems. Poems... Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are all acceptable."

Su Laosan exclaimed "Ah!" and lowered his head to tease his little niece.

"Your third uncle's good days are over, hehe. Don't worry, you'll know when you're three and can go to daycare. Your good days will be over too."

The little guy couldn't understand, but seeing how exciting he was talking, he clapped his hands enthusiastically.

Su Laosan laughed heartily and hugged the little girl, kissing her again and again.

Li Banxia couldn't bear to watch and turned away.

The eldest couple looked at each other and whispered, "It's okay for a girl to be a little lazy. We'll earn more money and set up a good family business for her. If she doesn't want to get married, she won't have to worry about food and drink. If she does want to get married, she'll have the confidence to do so. She doesn't need to be a great student, but she needs to know how to judge people so she won't get taken advantage of..."

Hearing the young couple's expectations for their child, Li Banxia glanced at her quiet grandson beside her and reached out to touch his little hand.

Her eldest grandson glanced at her, his eyes crinkling into a smile.

His smile is almost identical to that of the eldest son's wife.

Li Banxia's heart softened. Holding her eldest grandson's little hand, she silently thought that she must protect this child for the rest of her life and never lose him again like she did in her previous life.

After dinner, the family went out to watch their neighbors set off fireworks.

Fireworks as tall as trees crackled and popped, dazzling and bright. Groups of children carried strings of small firecrackers, occasionally throwing a couple into the crowd. When they exploded, the people watching the fireworks cried out in surprise. When the adults laughed and scolded them, they would make a face and run away.

The neighbors who came and went greeted her with smiles. Grandma Liu even tiptoed over and gave each of the two children a red envelope, saying, "It's not much money, but it's my heartfelt wish. I'm hoping it brings good luck to the children and that they will have peace and safety every year."

Li Banxia and her family thanked them profusely.

When Su Laosan's business first took off, Grandma Liu helped him a lot. Although the neighbors stopped buying things from Su Laosan after Lin Jiefang's incident, they still appreciated Grandma Liu's kindness.

Li Banxia glanced at Su Laosan, who then grinned and pulled a red envelope from his pocket, handing it to the grandson who had come to find Grandma Liu, and said "Happy New Year."

Grandma Liu felt a little embarrassed, turned around and glared at her son. Her son looked helpless, and her daughter-in-law smiled innocently. Grandma Liu didn't want to lose face at this moment, so she thanked her and took her grandson home.

As the two families parted ways, they overheard Grandma Liu scolding her son, "Look at that! I only gave them two yuan, and they gave me ten yuan back. They didn't care about my two yuan. And you two..."

The family walked past the Liu family members. Every now and then, a little boy would light a firecracker that shot into the sky with a whoosh. The little girl played more quietly, holding a sparkler and drawing circles for her friends to see.

You also have to watch out for ground rats that dart out from under your feet from time to time, darting around and making it impossible to defend against them.

The little one clapped and kicked excitedly in Su Laoda's arms, and Su Laoda could barely hold her.

The older one smiled quietly in Su Laosan's arms, its two eyes sparkling.

Su Laosan whispered to Li Banxia, ​​"If these two kids switched personalities, they would be fine. This kid is too quiet."

Li Banxia glanced at him.

He said, "Your eldest brother was always this quiet when he was little, but you and your second brother are quite lively."

Su Laosan smacked his lips, coughed lightly, and said, "It's better to keep things quiet so that Mom and Dad won't have to worry."

He didn't mean he was a troublemaker, he meant...

Yeah, he's never given his mom a break. He's such a grown man, yet he still wants his own mother to support him, his wife, and his children.

Su Laosan couldn't even empathize with himself back then.

What do you think he was thinking at that time?

Su Laosan couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Looking at his nephew, who looked like a little dumpling, he chuckled smugly, "My eldest brother's little girl alone will probably keep them busy enough..."

Li Banxia gave him a strange look, as if to remind him that the three sons he and Erniu would have in the future would be more and more troublesome than the last.

Being mischievous is the least of it; climbing on the roof and tearing off tiles is nothing compared to the three of them getting into trouble...

Just as I was thinking, I looked up and saw a familiar face, and my train of thought was instantly cut off.

Although separated by crowds and only a few streetlights, the fireworks soaring into the sky were so bright that she could see them clearly.

The pregnant woman, heavily pregnant and being supported by Zheng Huaixin's older sister, was Lin Jiefang's wife.

Li Banxia still doesn't know the girl's name. She only heard Zheng Huaixin call her Nannan, which should be a nickname.

Nannan was looking up at the fireworks in the sky. A car was parked not far from them.

The hood of the car in front was open, and the driver was making repairs.

When Nannan's biological mother saw Aoli Banxia's family, her expression immediately changed, and she helped her daughter to leave.

The little girl wouldn't leave, asking her, "Mom, where are we going? Can't we just wait here? I can't walk anymore, the baby keeps kicking me..."

Before she could say "I," she looked up and saw Li Banxia and her family.

She grabbed her mother's hand and asked, "Is that Li Banxia, ​​the one who made Jiefang go to jail for a few more years? Is that the old lady who made Uncle go to jail?! Mom."
