Chapter 245: Passing the buck
The real husband is a hundred times better than the fake husband, this... is a good thing... huh?
Zhu Xuntao was amazed by Xiao Jingzhan's red envelope, while Xiao Miluo was a little unhappy:
"Brother, when did you like to wear clothes of this color?"
"How can I remember that in this life, except for the day you married my sister-in-law, you have never worn clothes of this color?"
Since the eldest brother doesn't like it, why did he come here to join in the fun today.
She even thinks that Xiao Chenliang, the little fat boy, is redundant and disturbs the sisterhood between her and her sister-in-law. But the eldest brother is
still ignorant and insists on interfering like the little fat boy, which is annoying.
Xiao Jingzhan tapped Xiao Miluo's forehead gently,
reminding her that he was Zhu Xuntao's husband.
If they really wanted to compare who was redundant, everyone except him was redundant!
He didn't even bother with Xiao Miluo, his sister, but Xiao Miluo ran ahead of him to express her displeasure, which was really a big deal.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Feeling that the eyes between Xiao Miluo and Xiao Jingzhan were about to spark,
although he didn't understand why Xiao Jingzhan, who was a sister control, had such an attitude towards Xiao Miluo,
Zhu Xuntao still actively stepped forward to be a mediator: "Today is a good day, let's not quarrel."
As an authentic Chinese, today is New Year's Eve, no matter
how big the conflict is, it must be put aside and quarreled another day.
Not to mention, Xiao Jingzhan and Xiao Miluo's conflict is not a big deal, what are they quarreling about!
[On New Year's Eve, who dares to quarrel in front of me, be careful that I will get angry. ]
[When I get angry, I am afraid of myself! 】
Xiao Jingzhan: "..."
Xiao Miluo hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I just discussed a few words with my elder brother, we definitely don't mean to quarrel."
"What day is today, can we quarrel today? My elder brother can't be so ignorant."
Xiao Jingzhan: "..."
The younger brother can't have it, and the younger sister can't have it, just throw them away.
Whoever wants it, whoever wants it, can pick it up, and he will say thank you.
Xiao Chenliang is smart, feeling that the atmosphere is not right, he ran to Zhu Xuntao's side,
stretched out his short arms, hugged Zhu Xuntao's thighs tightly, and then shouted sweetly: "Mom..."
In just a moment, Zhu Xuntao's heart was melted by Xiao Chenliang's cuteness.
【In this world, is there any creature cuter than a baby who can hug his thighs? 】
【No!!! 】
No longer paying attention to Xiao Jingzhan and his sister, Zhu Xuntao picked up Xiao Chenliang and sighed:
"You are the best child in the family. Even your father is not as good as you."
Xiao Chenliang's tail was almost flying up to the sky after being praised:
"I am a good child, I am the best child, and mother likes me the most!"
If the aunt is not good, the eldest aunt will not like her in the future.
"Mom, don't hold me, I am heavy, and mother is tired and hard."
The little person, who hasn't even finished the New Year, has become more shrewd, and still feels sorry for Zhu Xuntao holding him and making her arms sore.
After thinking about it, Xiao Chenliang felt that he was also very tired standing.
Since the eldest aunt was weak and it was hard for her to hold him, he could find someone who was stronger than the eldest aunt to hold him.
Xiao Chenliang's eyes rolled, and he set his sights on Xiao Jingzhan who was standing next to Zhu Xuntao.
Finally, the little guy not only remembered that Zhu Xuntao was his aunt, but also remembered that Xiao Jingzhan was his uncle.
So the little guy showed his millet teeth and said in a milky voice:
"Uncle, hug me."
There was no reason for Xiao Jingzhan not to love Xiao Chenliang, the only kid in the mansion.
It was just because Xiao Jingzhan fed Xiao Chenliang every time he took medicine.
Even if Xiao Chenliang was in good health and didn't need to take medicine, he was afraid to hide when he saw Xiao Jingzhan.
Like today, taking the initiative to ask Xiao Jingzhan for a hug was definitely an unprecedented thing.
Xiao Jingzhan raised his eyebrows: "Do you really want me to hug you?"
"Hug you." Xiao Chenliang nodded.
"Aren't you afraid that I will give you bitter medicine?"
Xiao Jingzhan deliberately mentioned it even though he knew what Xiao Chenliang was afraid of.
Xiao Chenliang shrank like a little turtle at first.
Soon, he responded, "I'm not sick, I don't need to take medicine."
"Don't lie to me, you idiot. I'm brave and smart."
"Yeah."
Xiao Jingzhan responded and finally took Xiao Chenliang from Zhu Xuntao's arms.
"It can be seen that your brain has grown along with your body. You are no longer the little fool you used to be."
"Huh."
Xiao Chenliang always felt that what his uncle said was not good. He hummed like a little pig and made trouble with Xiao Jingzhan.
"Okay, everyone, stop making noise. We are celebrating the New Year at home today. We have to go to the palace to pay respects to the nobleman early tomorrow morning."
Although the family in front of her was not complete, Old Madam Sheng was satisfied.
The emperor's order could not be disobeyed. The old marquis had the company of the third son and his family, so he would not be too lonely.
"This year, the Marquis's Mansion has added new people. I hope that it will be the same next year, and there will be more and more people in the Marquis' Mansion."
After Old Madam Sheng sat down, others followed suit.
Hearing what Old Madam Sheng said, everyone put pressure on Zhu Xuntao.
Old Madam Sheng's words were easy to understand, two words: induce labor.
Zhu Xuntao acted as if Mount Tai was collapsing in front of him but remained calm, and as if a deer was appearing on his left but he did not blink. He
was not affected by Madam Sheng's words or the gazes of the crowd at all. He was calm as usual and
even kindly picked up some food for Xiao Chenliang, asking him to eat more.
After feeding Xiao Chenliang, Zhu Xuntao said calmly:
"Jingshen, remember what grandma said. Next year, it depends on your performance."
She is still good at passing the buck.
Xiao Jingzhan and Xiao Jingyu have both married, so it's Xiao Jingshen's turn now. Whether
the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion can add population next year will naturally depend on whether Xiao Jingshen can
do his best. Xiao Jingshen, who was eating hard and wanted to make up for himself, didn't even raise his head after being called by Zhu Xuntao,
and gave Zhu Xuntao a thumbs up:
Sister-in-law will pass the pot.
Don't bully him because he was eating and didn't hear what grandma said.
Grandmother clearly asked sister-in-law to give her a great-grandson to take care of, regardless of boy or girl.
"Eat, everyone, look how delicious Jing Shen is eating. Don't wait until the food gets cold, or it will taste bad."
Not sure if Zhu Xuntao was shy or something, anyway, at this moment, Zhu Xuntao's thoughts were not unusual. Zhu Xuntao
didn't want to mention it, and Old Madam Sheng wouldn't insist on having everyone eat New Year's Eve dinner together.
"Mom."
Xiao Yuanshan first used the serving chopsticks to pick up food for Old Madam Sheng, and then he started eating.
Xiao Yuanqi was the same, although their father was in the frontier and couldn't accompany their mother.
But there were two sons by their mother's side, and they would naturally take good care of their mother for their father, so that their father wouldn't have to worry about the future.
As long as no one deliberately brings up sensitive topics and just spends the New Year as usual,
even without a cell phone, the Internet, or the Spring Festival Gala, Zhu Xuntao will not feel sad about the New Year.
