Yu Rujia suppressed her anger and said gently, "Don't be fooled. Tiedan is just jealous that you eat well every day and can't beat you, so he's deliberately trying to annoy you. Your aunt and uncle will never abandon you."
"The reason we didn't ask you to call us Mom and Dad is because you have your own parents, but they are in other places right now and it's inconvenient for them to come and see you."
“When you grow up, you can go find them yourselves. Don’t fall for Tie Dan’s tricks. If he really makes you angry, he’ll win.”
The simple-minded Doro was immediately calmed down. Ever since their first fight, the little guy had developed a strange competitive spirit.
Duolu clenched his little fists, his face streaked with tears but unable to conceal the rage in his eyes: "I knew Tiedan was a bad guy. Next time I see him, I'll beat him to a pulp and see if he dares to talk nonsense again."
With her second brother no longer crying and having received Yu Rujia's affirmation, Duoxi's unease subsided. She followed her second brother's lead, raising her little fist in agreement, "Yes, hit him!"
Duoshou never believed that Yu Rujia would abandon them. He was just a little worried that after Duoji was born, his uncle and aunt might not treat them as well as before. And where were their parents?
Gao Shujing washed his hands and came over. He immediately saw the anxious little guy and reached out to gently stroke his head.
Gao Shujing: "Don't worry, Duoshou. No matter what, I will treat you and Duoji the same. What my brother has, you will have too."
Dorje seemed to sense the different atmosphere, reached out his chubby little hand and pulled Lado Shou, revealing a toothless smile that was soft and endearing.
Duoshou was no exception. He reached out his little hand, took Duoji's hand, and shook it: "Duoji, when you can walk, your third brother will take you to play."
Dorjee's other little hand was pulled by Dorjee's, and Dorjee patted his little chest and said, "Second brother will take you to play too."
Dorje grinned and waved his little hands, babbling in baby talk that only he understood.
Duoxi touched the little guy's chubby face and looked at Yu Rujia with bright eyes: "Auntie, when will Duoji be able to walk?"
Duofu brought over a plate of washed cherry tomatoes and strawberries. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's still a long way off. Duoxi crawled on the ground for a long time before she could walk. Duoji is only two months old and can't even crawl yet. You'll have to wait a while."
Duoxi took a strawberry and took a bite, then said indignantly, "No, I can always walk, unlike Duoji, who can only laugh and can't talk."
This kid doesn't remember anything from before he was one year old. He's been walking since he can remember, which is why he dares to say this so confidently.
Perhaps it's because Duolu owed Duoxi too many strawberries in the past, that this kid prefers strawberries to cherry tomatoes.
Duo Shou casually grabbed a cherry tomato and ate it: "Duo Xi, you couldn't talk before, but you'll gradually learn to talk."
Doro also grabbed strawberries. The time he was punished for stealing strawberries left a deep impression on him. Things that are hard to come by are always more precious. When the two fruits were placed together, his first reaction was to eat the strawberries first.
Duolu: "Yes, I taught Duoxi how to speak. When Uncle Guojing went back to Jiangcheng to study, he cried so much."
“I asked my aunt when Uncle Guojing would come back. My aunt said that Uncle Guojing would come back when you can speak fluently. In order to make him come back sooner, I teach you to speak every day.”
Duoxi: "I'll teach Duoji to speak too. I'll start by teaching him to call me Fourth Brother, hehe."
Before Dorje was born, Dorje was the youngest child in the family, and any of his older brothers could take care of him.
Dorje is the younger brother, so he will naturally be able to take care of him in the future. When that time comes, he will use all the tricks his older brothers used to discipline him on Dorje.
Duoxi chuckled as she thought about it, strawberry juice dripping from the corner of her mouth. Duofu glared at her, and the little guy immediately straightened up, no longer daring to laugh while eating.
After finishing the bowl of fruit, Duoshou took the bowl to the backyard to wash it, while Duofu carried Duoji away, and the two silly brothers followed.
With the children not around, Gao Shujing said, "For Tiedan to say that, someone must have whispered something in his ear. I'll go ask Secretary Li."
Yu Rujia: "Yes, Duolu and the others are at the age where they need to learn from their mistakes. These things need to be addressed. In a few years, when they are older and more sensible, we can tell them about what happened over there."
Gao Shujing: "That's a good idea. If they know what's going on over there, they'll be able to tell the truth from the falsehoods when someone says these things again."
"As for Tie Dan today, Duo Lu and Duo Xi are two silly boys who won't think too much. Duo Shou is more thoughtful, so I'll have Duo Fu keep an eye on them."
Two years ago, Duofu met Xia Jingsheng and learned that he was in Shangfen Brigade. He then paid more attention to the people in the brigade and actually discovered the Xia family in the cowshed.
Given Xia Jingsheng and Yu Rujia's instructions, Duofu did not immediately approach him after learning where he lived. Instead, he intentionally or unintentionally coaxed his friends into talking about the cowshed.
Knowing that it was a place everyone avoided, the little guy was very sad. Yu Rujia noticed his abnormality and told him some things, which made him feel better.
As his martial arts skills improved and his lightness skill became somewhat proficient, the little guy, with Yu Rujia's permission, would secretly fly up to the other side of the cliff to meet the Xia family.
The best course of action would be for Duofu, who knows the whole story and is also a child, to comfort and reassure Duoshou.
After washing the dishes in the backyard, Duo Shou sat down next to Duo Fu and played with Duo Ji for a while. Seeing the two silly brothers playing happily not far away, he quietly asked the question that had been on his mind.
Duofu is the eldest brother in the family, and he always knows more than the others. Perhaps he even knows about his parents.
Although Yu Rujia said she would tell them about their parents when they were older, Duoshou felt that he was not like Duolu and Duoxi, those two fools, who could know a little earlier.
Duoshou: "Big brother, do you know about our parents?"
Duofu's gentle face tightened, and a serious look appeared on his small face: "Why would you ask this?"
Duoshou recounted his encounter with Tiedan outside that day.
Duofu sternly reprimanded, "Tiedan is deliberately trying to anger you. Duolu and Duoxi can't see it, so how can you not see it?"
Duo Shou said aggrievedly, "I know Auntie wouldn't abandon us, but I didn't believe her. I was just curious about Mom and Dad. Big brother, you must know."
Duofu didn't answer his question. Instead, he continued to scold him with a stern face: "You must remember that your aunt and uncle are the best people to us. If anyone says anything bad about them, you should hit them back hard."
