Thinking of Xu Erfeng's daughter, Ruan Qiqi couldn't help laughing. Every time Ruan Baobao got into trouble, she would think of this little girl and then magically comfort herself.
"You don't know, the little girl in Xu Erfeng's family is always good at making bad things happen. She started talking early. She could call people when she was six months old. When she was one year old, she could speak very fluently. Once, when she was watching TV with her grandparents, a little Japanese soldier fell down the stairs and died. The little girl was so excited that she kept shouting, 'My dad will definitely not die. My dad is so awesome!'"
"What happened?"
Shangguan Qing asked curiously.
"When the little girl said this, her father was just coming down the stairs. He usually could take six or seven steps at a time, but that day he slipped and rolled down from the third floor to the first floor."
Ruan Qiqi couldn't help it and leaned over the table and laughed hard.
"Is it not broken?"
Shangguan Qing was also very happy. Comrade Xiaocao was very agile and it was only three floors. He would definitely be fine.
"He was fine, but his neck was twisted badly. Xiaocao had a twisted neck every time he talked to people for a week. He and Xu Erfeng didn't notice it at the time and thought it was an accident. Then something else happened."
Ruan Qiqi took a sip of tea and continued with a smile, "The little girl usually lives with her grandparents. She is very happy every day and she is funny when she talks. The other day when we had guests at home, she told them stories and praised herself for being a very funny storyteller. Every time she tells a story to grandpa, grandpa laughs until his teeth fall out. The old man beside him laughed so hard listening to her that he actually lost a tooth."
"puff"
Shangguan Qing was drinking tea and almost spit it out.
"The Cao family discovered the little girl's ability and tested it a few more times. It turned out that the good ones didn't work, but the bad ones did. Fortunately, it didn't hurt anyone's life. Xu Erfeng and his wife gave the little girl three rules: from now on, she can only say good things and not bad things. Even if she is unhappy, she can only think about it in her heart and can't say it out loud."
"How can a two-year-old girl control herself?"
Shangguan Qing felt that Xu Erfeng and his wife were taking things for granted, as children did not have that strong self-control.
"Of course I can't control it. I always let something slip. Every time the brother and sister quarrel, the brother can't control himself and burns his sister's bangs. The little girl gets really angry and curses her brother to wet his pants. It always works. When the brother and sister are in a good mood, they love each other. When they quarrel, they are bitter and hate each other. Xu Erfeng is so worried!"
Ruan Qiqi talked a lot about the chaotic life in the Cao family, so she was still very tolerant of her daughter. After all, her baby Ruan would, at most, put bugs in her quilt and soup, fight with other children, or accidentally break someone else's bed and break her grandfather's waist.
Unlike the brother and sister of the Cao family, the family is in chaos all the time, either the brother sets fire to the house or the sister accidentally "curses" them. Xu Erfeng has gone from being manic in the beginning to being able to face it calmly now.
Moreover, the couple can find some fun in it, and their life is getting better and better.
"When Xu Erfeng was sometimes bullied by her boss, she would instruct her daughter to make the boss have a stiff neck or nightmares at night. The next day, Xu Erfeng felt very happy when she saw the boss' haggard appearance. With her brother's fire control, the family often ate hot pot. No kerosene was needed. The father and son took turns to light the fire, and Xu Erfeng and her mother enjoyed the meal very much."
Ruan Qiqi told a series of interesting stories about the Cao family, and Shangguan Qing kept her mouth shut the whole time. Since getting married and having children, she looked much friendlier than before, and her face was filled with more smiles.
"They are truly a match made in heaven. They couldn't be more perfect for each other."
Shangguan Qing concluded that no matter who Xiao Cao married, or no matter who Xu Erfeng married, they would not live as happily as they do now.
"Of course I am the matchmaker!"
Ruan Qiqi was very proud. She was indeed the best at everything she did. Even as a matchmaker, her performance was excellent.
"Mom, I don't like sister Wensi a little bit."
Baby Ruan, who was concentrating on eating next to him, suddenly interrupted in a serious tone, still eating a snack with his cheeks bulging.
"We'll talk after we finish eating."
Ruan Qiqi corrected her.
Baby Ruan quickened his chewing speed and choked a little. The little boy Jiang Zhuoyue next to him quickly handed him a cup of tea.
Shangguan Qing looked at his nephew in surprise. This kid seemed polite, but he was actually difficult to get along with and was too lazy to grow hair. Even his eldest brother and sister-in-law couldn't be ordered around, and yet he took the initiative to serve tea to others?
"Thanks."
Baobao Ruan took the tea, drank half of it in one gulp, and thanked politely.
"You're welcome."
Jiang Zhuoyue smiled.
Ruan Qiqi then asked, "Aren't you good friends with Sister Wensi?"
"Yes, but sometimes I don't like it a little bit."
Baby Ruan tilted his head and answered seriously, explaining the reason: "I had an argument with my sister Wensi once, and she said that when I wiped my butt, I would get shit all over my hands. As a result, I really got shit all over my hands, and they stunk!"
The little girl raised her chubby paws, shook them vigorously a few times, and wrinkled her nose.
Ruan Qiqi twitched her lips, moved away from her daughter with a bit of disgust.
"But I have forgiven her."
Baobao Ruan generously said that he and sister Wensi are still good friends.
After making her complaint, Ruan Baobao continued to eat her snacks and recommended them to her good friend. She grabbed a piece of snack and handed it to Jiang Zhuoyue, "This is super delicious."
"I don't like snacks, baby does."
Jiang Zhuoyue looked at her fat paws with a speechless look. They were the paws that had been wiped with shit. He seemed to smell a little bit of shit.
This snack... I can't eat it at all.
Baobao Ruan didn't know that she was being rejected and thought that Jiang Zhuoyue really didn't like it, so she gave it to her brother.
"No, eat it yourself."
Potato also felt disgusted and refused without hesitation.
The seven-year-old Potato is a handsome boy with red lips and white teeth. He looks like Lu Ye and Ruan Qiqi. Compared with his lively childhood, the school-age Potato has become much more mature and stable, and is the darling of all the teachers and students in the school.
Baobao Ruan ate the snacks happily and finished a whole plate of snacks by herself.
They chatted for two hours without realizing it. Shangguan Qing had to send Jiang Zhuoyue and his sister to their grandfather's house, so he had to go there early.
Ruan Qiqi rushed to pay the bill first, "Don't talk about landlord's kindness. I made a small fortune and have nowhere to spend it."
"It's up to you to pay the bill, and the red envelope is for the child."
Shangguan Qing took out two red envelopes and stuffed them into the brother and sister.
"Thank you Aunt Qing!"
The brother and sister accepted the red envelope with both hands in unison.
Baobao Ruan also packed a bag of snacks to take back to the guesthouse.
The little girl is very active, eats five or six meals a day, and is taller than her peers.
Shangguan Qing and Ruan Qiqi were not going the same way, so they separated at the entrance of the teahouse and agreed to visit the tourist attractions in Guangzhou together tomorrow.
The four children were also reluctant to say goodbye. Jiang Wen liked Brother Potato very much and warmly invited him to visit her home.
"My grandma cooks delicious food, and my grandpa sings opera very well."
"I'll visit you again later."
Potato refused. He didn't like playing with younger children because they were too noisy.
Especially when Jiang Wen and her sister get together, they will start quarreling within three minutes, and his ears are about to explode.
Jiang Zhuoyue also felt the same way. The two brothers looked at each other with mutual sympathy and left, pulling their respective sisters away.
On the way to the guesthouse, Baby Ruan kept chirping like a happy little oriole. Suddenly she stopped and looked at a pair of ragged grandparents and grandchildren standing on the side of the road.
An old lady was walking unsteadily, rummaging through a trash can. Next to her was a little boy of about three or four years old. Both the grandfather and grandson were very dirty, smelled bad, and were extremely thin.
The little girl hesitated for a few seconds, but still walked over, opened the package of snacks she had packed from the teahouse, took out a piece of snack and handed it to the boy.
