The next day, the ladies of the village came to the Xu family to help early in the morning. Inviting all the old and young in the village to come for a meal was not a small sum of money. If they didn't come to help early, they didn't know when they could have a meal!

At noon, Wang and Li's families came over, and this time they brought all their family members with them.

From a distance, one could see the smiles on the faces of the eldest daughter-in-law's family. Wang's father was even grinning so hard that his teeth were showing. How could he not be happy that his grandson passed the imperial examination?

Wang also stepped forward and greeted him with a smile, "Why are you here today, my relatives? I haven't even sent anyone to notify you yet!"

Zhang's mother, Chen, said, "You guys need to inform us. Chunxi has already gone back and told us that Chunxi's father didn't sleep well all night!"

Wang also smiled and said, "Let's not talk outside now, let's go inside and sit down to talk."

The group came to the front hall and sat down. Zhang saw her two nephews from her mother's family had also come. She quickly pulled them to her side and said, "Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang, come here. Auntie will give you something delicious to eat."

The older boy is only eight years old this year, and the younger one is five years old. Since they entered the house, they have been looking around curiously. They have never seen such a beautiful house.

Hearing his aunt's voice, the older boy named Dazhuang said shyly, "No, aunt, we don't want to eat."

Although Erzhuang seemed to want to eat, he refused and said, "Aunt, no, I'm not hungry."

Zhang patted his head and said, "Who says you can only eat when you're hungry? I'm sure what I'm bringing you two little brats will like."

At this time, Zhang's sister-in-law came over and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't have to worry about them. I can take care of them. You have other things to do!"

Zhang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you have come here with great difficulty, so of course I have to treat you well."

After saying that, Zhang brought a plate of flower cakes and placed it in front of Dazhuang and Erzhuang, saying, "Have you finished eating the ones I brought back for the New Year?"

The two boys' eyes lit up. They loved eating this the most, and they quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie."

Wang was chatting with her in-laws, and all she heard were words of congratulations.

Qibao was a little worried at this time because there was a little follower following her, who was Li's little niece from her mother's family.

She looked about four or five years old, with two long braids. She was not afraid of strangers even when biting her fingers. She kept following Qibao and calling her sister.

Qibao had no choice but to turn around and say, "You little brat, why do you always follow me?"

When the little girl saw Qibao talking to her, she immediately smiled and said, "Sister, play."

Qibao rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, I'll take you to find other kids to play with."

The little girl stepped forward and took Qibao's hand, intending to go wherever Qibao went.

Qibao found the sixth brother, handed the little girl to him, lied to her that he was going to the toilet and would be back soon, then turned around and ran away.

Xiaoliu looked at the little girl in front of him, who was blinking at him. Apart from his sister, he had never played with girls before, and he didn't know what girls usually played. He could only take the little girl to find other friends in the village to play together.

Qibao breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the front hall, thinking to himself that children were the most troublesome things and he didn't want to play with a little brat.

As soon as I entered the front hall, I heard the voice of my second aunt's sister-in-law: "Where is my Niuniu? How come she disappeared as soon as I turned around?"

Qibao immediately explained: "Niuniu is playing with other children from the village at the door!"

"This girl just doesn't like strangers. She left without even saying a word."

As soon as she finished speaking, a little girl with tears and snot running down her face ran in and threw herself into Li's sister-in-law's arms.

"Niuniu, why are you crying?"

Niuniu sobbed and said, "They pulled my pigtails!"

Xiaoliu also ran over at this time. Seeing Niuniu crying like this, he was afraid that his family would scold him, so he quickly explained: "We were just touching her, we didn't use any force."

Niuniu, however, didn't want to play with these boys anymore. She ran to Qibao, tears still streaming down her face, grabbed Qibao's clothes and said, "Play with me."

Wang was watching from the side, so she said, "Qibao, Niuniu is still young, so you can play with your sister for a while."

"All right……"

Qibao never thought that a little girl could give her so much trouble. She had no choice but to pull Niuniu out of the house.

Niu Niu stopped crying. From time to time, she picked two wild grasses from the roadside and gave them to Qibao, looking at Qibao with an innocent smile on her face.

Qibao looked at the little girl and thought she was very cute and adorable. He reached out and touched her little face, which didn't have much flesh on it.

Qibao pulled the little girl into his room, asked her to sit on a stool, and went behind the screen to take out a few big strawberries from the space.

She walked up to Niuniu and said, "This is for you to eat, but you can't tell others that your sister gave you something delicious. This is a secret between us, okay?"

Niu Niu's soft voice sounded, "Well, I won't tell anyone, not mom, not brother." But her eyes were fixed on Strawberry.

Qibao took one and placed it in her palm, saying, "Eat it!"

Niu Niu took the strawberry, opened her mouth wide and took a bite, and the sweet and sour juice overflowed in her mouth.

Niu Niu squinted her eyes and said incoherently, "It's delicious!" Strawberry juice flowed out of her mouth, and Qibao took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her.

Niuniu was immediately happier. "Hello, sister. I like you."

Qibao smiled when he heard this. He thought that children were not really that annoying after all...
