Chapter 243 Extra Chapter 2: Cute Baby
"Qin Shuai! If you plant Xiang Xiaokui in the ground again, I'll beat you to death!"
Zhou Qiao grabbed a slipper and chased after five-year-old Qin Shuai, panting heavily, but she couldn't catch up with the brat at all.
Qin Shuai ran incredibly fast. Boys are at that mischievous age, slippery as eels. "Isn't her name Little Sunflower? It means she's meant to be planted in the soil! Hehehe! You can't catch me, can you! Mom, if you catch me, I'll let you beat me up!"
"You wait for your dad!" Zhou Qiao shouted, hands on her hips.
Qin Shuai felt a sudden tightness in his buttocks, remembering his father's specialty dish—stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork—and dashed away in a flash.
"Auntie." Little Kui, who had just turned two, squatted in the pit, her pink and white face covered in dirt, her big, bright eyes following Zhou Qiao.
"Xiao Kui, come out quickly." Zhou Qiao reached out to scoop her up.
“My brother said I am a sunflower.” Xiao Kui glanced at the sun, then turned around, presenting the back of her head, adorned with two signature buns, to Zhou Qiao.
"Oh my, my sweet little sunflower, how could you be a sunflower? You are Auntie's good baby, Auntie will take you out."
Zhou Qiao's heart softened terribly, and she lifted Xiao Kui out of the pit. Xiao Kui's clean princess dress was now stained with black and yellow mud.
Zhou Qiao's face was as dark as it could possibly be. She took a picture and sent it to Qin You, pressing the voice message button, "If you don't teach Qin Shuai a lesson today, you can expect me to deal with you tonight!"
After sending the voice message aggressively, her expression changed instantly, and she asked Xiao Kui in a low voice, "Xiao Kui, shall Auntie go get you a new dress?"
"Okay~ Auntie~" Xiao Kui opened her arms for a hug in her childish voice.
Zhou Qiao picked her up, and Xiao Kui obediently wrapped her arms around her neck. Her soft arms were like lotus roots, with a section of snow-white flesh.
Zhou Qiao changed her into a pink dress. Xiao Kui stood in front of the mirror and twirled around. Her adorable appearance melted Zhou Qiao's heart.
"Auntie, where's Mommy?" Xiao Kui rushed to Zhou Qiao, her little hands clutching the hem of her clothes.
“Your mom and dad went shopping. Come on, let’s go see if they’re back yet.” Zhou Qiao picked up Xiao Kui and squeezed her arm.
Xiao Kui is like a little toy; she giggles as soon as she's pinched.
Zhou Qiao exclaimed that Qin You was a disappointment, how could he have given birth to such a troublesome child?
As soon as they reached the door, a familiar car stopped, and two people got out.
Xu Songning wore a light green dress, her hair was pulled back, and the loose strands of hair on her forehead fluttered in the breeze.
Xiang Yun, wearing a trench coat that accentuated his tall and slender figure, held Xu Songning's waist and carried a bag in his hand.
"Mommy~" Xiao Kui was still in Zhou Qiao's arms, her hands already outstretched, her fingers grabbing randomly in the air, she was so cute.
"Little Sunflower, were you a good girl at Auntie's house today?" Xu Songning walked over quickly, smiling as she took the child back.
Xiang Yun gently stroked Xiao Kui's cheek with his finger. Xiao Kui grasped his finger and called out in a childish voice, "Daddy~ Hug~"
"Let your dad hold her, Mom still needs to talk to Auntie." Xu Songning placed the child in Xiang Yun's arms and reached for the bag. "Give me the things?"
"No need, I'll take it." Xiang Yun didn't give it to him, holding the child in one arm and the bag in the other.
"Wow, Captain Xiang is really amazing," Zhou Qiao said teasingly, nudging Xu Songning's shoulder with her elbow.
Xu Songning laughed and punched her, "Be serious, Qiaoqiao, be careful you don't get pregnant with a second child."
"Take back what you said! If another demon king comes along, I'd rather let the two of them eat me up." Zhou Qiao surrendered.
"Why did you change Sunflower's clothes? Are they wet?" Xu Songning asked.
"It's all because you called her Little Sunflower that my devilish husband planted her in the ground again. Look, the hole was just dug, it's still fresh." Zhou Qiao pointed to the hole in the yard.
Xu Songning didn't mind at all, and smiled happily, "If you plant it, won't two little sunflowers grow? I can give you one, since you like them, right?"
"Just give me your Xiaokui." Zhou Qiao took her hand and ruffled Xiaokui's hair in a bun. "Did you do the hair for the child?"
“It wasn’t me, it was Yun-ge who did the hair,” Xu Songning said softly. “He gets up early, and since he’s free anyway, he can take the baby for a walk.”
Zhou Qiao gave her a thumbs up, saying that her husband was very useful and the child was also very easy to take care of.
Lunchtime arrived, and Qin You dragged Qin Shuai, whom he had just beaten up, back with the order, "Apologize to your mother!"
"Mom, I'm sorry," Qin Shuai said reluctantly, his feet scurrying across the ground like a compass.
"Qin Shuai, if you do this again, you won't get any pocket money, and you won't want to buy the encyclopedia anymore." Zhou Qiao crossed her arms; as the person in charge of the finances, she had the most say.
Qin Shuai knelt down before his mother with a thud, wailing, "Mom! My dear mom! Please don't take away my allowance."
“Three—two—” Zhou Qiao counted.
Qin Shuai immediately stood up from the ground, brushing the dust off his pants. "I'll remember this! I won't kneel next time! And I won't make my sister plant in the field again."
“There’s always something to watch when I come to your house,” Xu Songning said with a smile, lifting Xiao Kui onto her lap. Xiang Yun tore a chicken leg apart and put it into Xiao Kui’s bowl.
Xiao Kui waited obediently for her father to prepare the chicken legs, her eyes fixed on him.
Qin Shuai washed his hands thoroughly before sitting down at the table. He glanced at the dishes on the table, peeled a shrimp, and handed it to Xiao Kui.
"Thank you, brother." Xiao Kui happily took the shrimp and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly.
Qin Shuai chuckled. He hadn't actually intended to plant Xiao Kui in the ground; it was Xiao Kui herself who said she wanted to plant her with Hua Hua.
However, he didn't tell the adults. It didn't matter. Anyway, he was a boy, so he could get beaten if he wanted, it wasn't a big deal!
Lu Xiaomeng arrived last. After arriving, she greeted each child warmly and gave them two large red envelopes before sitting down to chat with them.
While the adults were chatting, Qin Shuai secretly fed Xiao Kui shrimp. He only took the shrimp away after Xiao Kui burped. Xiao Kui's eyes were bright, clearly she wanted more.
"No, you can't eat anymore, your belly is already round." Qin Shuai pointed to her belly.
Xiao Kui climbed down from her mother's back and landed safely. She grabbed Qin Shuai's hand and said, "Brother, come on, play with Xiao Kui."
The two children ran into the yard. Xiao Kui was particularly fond of the pit and wanted to crawl into it again.
"Hey! You can't crawl through anymore, or Dad will beat me again!" Qin Shuai grabbed Xiao Kui and took her to catch butterflies.
Xiao Kui chased butterflies for a while, but caught nothing. Exhausted, she sat down on a small stool, panting, and waved her little hand, saying, "I'm tired, I'm tired."
"Why are you called Little Sunflower? Don't you have your own name?" Qin Shuai caught a butterfly and placed it in her palm.
Little Sunflower gently gathered the butterflies and mumbled, "I have a name."
"What's your name?" Qin Shuai asked.
"Little Sunflower! Time to go home." Xu Songning called to her from the doorway.
"Look at you, calling her Little Sunflower again. Doesn't she have a proper name?" Zhou Qiao said reproachfully.
Xu Songning smiled and changed his address, "Xiao Jin, let's go home."
"Here you are, Mommy~" Xiao Kui gently placed the butterfly back on the flower, grinned, and said goodbye to Qin Shuai, "Bye-bye, brother~"
"Bye-bye." Qin Shuai waved goodbye reluctantly.
Xu Songning brushed the flowers off her skirt, picked her up, and put her in Xiang Yun's arms, saying, "Daddy's holding you, Mommy's tired."
"Daddy, hug me." Xiao Kui mimicked her voice and hugged Xiang Yun's neck.
Xiang Yun held Xiao Kui in one arm and took Xu Songning's hand with the other.
"Let's go home."
