Old Zeng watched as Old Liao picked up the child, his eyes darting around with longing. He really wanted to hold the child too.
Old Du: "Let's just enjoy the view, these hands are so thick and rough, they might hurt the child!"
Seeing Lao Zeng's condition, Lao Liao wanted to hand the child to her, but hesitated. "Have you ever held a child before?"
"No!" Old Zeng answered decisively! He realized this wasn't right and withdrew his outstretched hands. But he was so anxious that he rubbed his hands together.
They all liked the little girl, but Old Zeng seemed a bit... well, not weird. Something just felt off about him.
The little girl whimpered a bit, but Song Yan took her and patted her until she quieted down.
Old Zeng's eyes were glued to the child and didn't move an inch.
"Godfather, sit down!" Song Yan said.
Old Zeng's heart and soul were entirely focused on the child; he mechanically did whatever Song Yan told him to do.

Old Zeng only remembered after stepping out of the door, "Oh dear, I forgot something. Here, take this! It's for the child from Old Shen."
It is a longevity lock.
Song Yan knew it was gold the moment he held it. "No, this is too valuable."
Old Zeng: "Here! This is what my sister wore when she was little. Keep it safe and don't let anyone see it."
"Oh, right, you said you haven't named the child yet. I'll think of a good name for the child when I get back." Old Zeng said and left.
Song Yan: I didn't agree to you naming my daughter! If you name her Juan or Cui... I don't like it, I really don't like it.
