Chapter 164 Little Longevity
Li smiled and said, "It's better if it's heavy so that you can hold it down. You're still young now, so if you can't wear it, just keep it and wear it when you're older."
Anyway, after all the talk, Li didn't listen to Niu Niu's excuses at all.
Sun Jiaxing and his wife took Niu Niu to meet their two brothers' wives who were sitting opposite them.
"This is Niu Niu, she's so cute." Xiao Feng praised with a smile. Her enthusiasm was totally invisible, as she had just been talking behind her back.
"These are your second aunt and third aunt." Mrs. Li taught Niu Niu how to call people.
Niu Niu called for help obediently.
The couple waited for a moment, and Li couldn't help but frowning, and Sun Jiaxing's face didn't look good either.
Sun Jiaxing specially called people over. They treated Niu Niu as their own daughter, so they hoped that the second and third wives would also act like they would treat their real niece.
Now the two showed no intention of giving any gift, so the couple were naturally unhappy. After all, they had never treated their nephews and nieces badly, and there was no reason for their daughter to be treated so coldly.
Sun Jiaxing couldn't bring himself to ask his sister-in-law for a gift, so he could only ask, "Where are the second and third brothers? I sent someone to call them a long time ago, why are they still nowhere to be seen?"
Xiao Feng said, "Brother, my husband said he has a headache."
Sun Jiaxing's face suddenly darkened and he said, "I saw Lao Er jumping around in the morning, but now he's sick?"
Little Feng didn't dare to tell the truth, so she could only say, "The weather has been bad these days, and mother isn't feeling well either."
Sun Jiaxing said, "Since he always compares himself to mother, do you want me to take care of him?"
Little Feng suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Sun Jiaxing looked at his third brother's wife again.
Shen quickly replied, "Brother, my husband is out visiting friends."
Sun Jiaxing sneered: "He doesn't go out early or late, and he's going out as soon as my daughter comes back. He plays with cats and dogs all day long. How can he make any serious friends?"
Because their husbands were scolded by their eldest uncle, the two sisters-in-law felt embarrassed. Unfortunately, now in the entire Sun family, only Sun Jiaxing has passed the imperial examination. Not to mention here, even in the clan, everyone praises him.
Sun Jiaxing was the eldest son, and the eldest brother was like a father. No matter how harshly he scolded, these two could only listen respectfully.
"Go back and tell the second and third brothers that if they really have something against me, they should speak out openly and not do these little tricks behind my back."
After Sun Jiaxing finished speaking, he angrily carried Niuniu to the backyard.
Niuniu whispered to comfort him, "Uncle Sun, are you unhappy because your second and third uncles didn't come?"
Sun Jiaxing felt heartbroken. Over the years, the two brothers had often caused trouble outside and he had often been there to clean up the mess. Now he felt that all his years of care had been in vain.
Sun Jiaxing nodded and said, "Although you are the younger generation and they are the elders, I repeatedly reminded them before, and they both agreed to do it, but they just gave up at the last minute, which is really too much."
Compared to being a good child, he followed Sun Jiaxing's words and said politely that he was the junior and didn't necessarily require them to come and see him.
Niu Niu felt even more distressed that Sun Jiaxing’s efforts had no results.
"Uncle Sun, they are going too far. They are bad! We won't be friends with them!" Niu Niu said indignantly.
When Sun Jiaxing saw Niu Niu waving her fists with anger written all over her face, his mood suddenly became less bad.
"With Niuniu accompanying daddy, daddy doesn't feel sad at all. Niuniu is right, we shouldn't be nice to them!" said Sun Jiaxing.
Seeing that he was happy, Niuniu also became happy and said, "Dad, I haven't seen Xiao Changshou yet. Don't think about those people who make you unhappy. We should think more about happy things."
Sun Jiaxing was also happy when he mentioned his son, and said, "Yes, yes, you are right, my dear. Your brother can blow bubbles now, and he is very cute."
Niu Niu's face was immediately filled with anticipation.
Mrs. Li was watching the father and daughter from the side. She had been annoyed with the second and third wives who had been causing trouble for her husband for a long time. After today's commotion, she just hoped that her husband would sober up a little.
As soon as they entered the main courtyard, the three heard the sound of a child crying.
When Li, the mother, heard the voice, she immediately rushed in.
"You were fine when I came out, why are you crying again? Are you hungry?" Li asked in confusion.
The nurse also felt aggrieved: "Madam, I just fed him fifteen minutes ago, so he shouldn't be hungry. He didn't eat just now, he just cried. This has never happened before."
The two-month-old baby cried at the top of his lungs with his eyes closed, breaking everyone's heart.
Another maid, Zhenzhu, who was in charge of looking after the child, whispered, "The young master has always had a good temper. He wouldn't cry if he wasn't hungry. He cried for no reason today. It seems like he was frightened by something..."
The people present had not yet realized that something was wrong.
Pearl continued, "The young master started crying half a quarter of an hour ago. If you think carefully, was there anyone in the mansion at that time?"
"Pearl!" Li suddenly shouted.
Pearl shrank her neck and said, "Madam, I am doing this for the young master's own good. He must have been harmed by some unlucky thing or person..."
Niu Niu had no idea that the person Zhenzhu was referring to was herself. She took two steps forward, walked to the side of the wet nurse, looked at the crying little Changshou with heartache, raised her hand, and held Changshou's exposed little hand.
"The moon is quiet, the river flows, and my little baby is sleeping..." Niu Niu hummed softly the song that Zhang Yunniang sang to coax her.
The child's crying gradually stopped.
The whole house fell silent.
Zhenzhu's eyes widened. She didn't expect that Niu Niu could be coaxed so easily.
The baby in the nurse's cradle not only stopped crying, but also moved his eyes around as if trying to find the source of the sound.
The wet nurse bent down so that the baby's face was facing Niuniu.
That white and tender ball, after its eyes found the direction where Niu Niu was, it opened its mouth and gave Niu Niu a toothless smile.
Niuniu tilted her head, stared at Changshou with bright eyes, and said happily: "My brother knows that I am the elder sister!"
Li and Sun Jiaxing also looked at the scene with aunt smiles.
"He rarely smiles at me, but he smiles when he sees you. It shows that you are destined to be brother and sister." Li said gently.
Niuniu patted her chest and said, "My brothers all say that I am a good sister. I will learn to be a good sister in the future. If there is something delicious, I will share it with you, okay?"
Little Changshou seemed to understand and actually responded to his sister with a giggle.
"He can even laugh out loud! He never laughed out loud before!" Sun Jiaxing said excitedly.
As a couple raising a child for the first time, they pay attention to every little move of their child and even a sneeze can make them cheer.
Niuniu was suddenly startled, pointed at a small red dot on Changshou's wrist, and asked, "What is this?"
