I handed the little guy another crumpled piece of paper, but he just wouldn't let go of it.
After that, I could only recognize the name Zhou Mo.
"Hey, your daughter's name is Zhou Mo, and your son's name is Zhou Tang. Every time I hear my son call him 'Brother Tang,' I always feel like they're brothers!"
Hearing Sister-in-law Song tease her, Jiang Wenwan laughed along.
"You know what, they really do sound like cousins, which is great."
I originally wanted him to call him Zhou Yi.
They can't both be off work on weekends, can they? Hahahaha.
Sister-in-law Song didn't understand what she meant.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Wenwan shook her head.
This was in 1979, and there were no weekends yet; to be precise, there was no concept of not working on Saturdays and Sundays.
Old Xu's wife rode up on horseback from afar, with their child in tow.
Little kids love playing with other little dolls.
"Old Xu's sister also brought her daughter Niannian."
Of the four children, his son Xu Guonian is the eldest.
Jiang Wenwan watched as Old Xu's wife dismounted.
He lifted four-year-old Niannian off the horse.
"Your daughter Niannian is getting prettier and prettier as she grows up."
Old Xu and his wife weren't bad-looking to begin with, so their child was naturally good-looking.
Old Xu's wife smiled with a simple and honest smile.
"Boys don't need to look at so much."
I think your sugar bun is the cutest.
She can be my daughter-in-law from now on.
Jiang Wenwan also smiled.
"That's something Niannian has to tell me herself; what you say doesn't count."
"My little girl has to agree, otherwise, it won't work!"
She was wearing a pure pink top and purple pants made by Jiang Wenwan.
Diapers were never invented, but Jiang Wenwan carried a homemade bag with four extra pairs of underwear inside when she went out.
It was to prevent them from wetting their pants.
Tangbao ran over with a rapeseed flower in her hand. Hearing her mother's words, she didn't understand anything and just added in her childish voice.
"And my older brother."
Jiang Wenwan reached out and picked up her little girl, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.
He said to Sister Song and Sister Xu:
"Hahaha, did you hear that? There's still her brother to contend with."
Tang Bao held up a bouquet of rapeseed flowers and presented it to her mother.
"And Dad!"
This made Sister Song and Old Xu's wife laugh.
"Oh dear, it won't be easy to marry our Sugar Bun!"
There are still several hurdles to overcome.
Tangbao didn't know what they meant, so she just nodded her little head and smiled.
He held up the flowers and presented them to Jiang Wenwan.
"Mommy, here's some flowers for you."
Jiang Wenwan's heart melted completely at her daughter's touch.
"Thank you, baby! Mwah! Mommy loves sugar buns the most."
The flowers that Tangbao sent are so pretty, Mom loves them!
Tangbao's face turned red from her enthusiastic expression.
The rice ball was dressed in a mini green military uniform; the little chubby dumpling was adorably handsome.
Turning around and seeing the preferential treatment his younger sister received, he quickly grabbed a handful of rapeseed flowers and strode over on his short little legs.
"Mom, these are flowers for you."
Jiang Wenwan treated everyone equally and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Wow! The flowers that Rice Ball sent are so pretty, and Mom loves Rice Ball the most too."
Okay, go play with your friends!
Seeing the two of them doing that, Doubao and Niannian followed suit, each picking a handful of rapeseed flowers for their respective mothers.
"Tangbao set a good example by knowing to send flowers to her mother."
Sister-in-law Song happily accepted the flowers from her son and, imitating Jiang Wenwan, kissed him on the cheek.
Aunt Xu was the same; the little ones all looked happy.
"That's why they say a daughter is a mother's little cotton-padded jacket, and it has to be my sweet bun."
Go play now, Xiao Hei will bring you some meat later.
No sooner had Jiang Wenwan finished speaking than Xiao Hei returned, this time carrying not meat, but a wolf cub in its mouth.
"Little Black! Little Black!"
"Little Black is back!"
The children were overjoyed to see Xiao Hei return, jumping and skipping with excitement.
Xiao Hei ran over, put the wolf cub it was carrying in its mouth on the ground, and faced Jiang Wenwan.
"Awoo!"
Jiang Wenwan was so shocked when she saw the little black wolf cub on the ground that she stood up from where she stood.
"Little Black, whose child did you steal?"
"What if you steal the wolf cubs and attract the wolf pack?"
"Awoo!"
Little Black let out another "Awoo!" and circled around the wolf cub.
Jiang Wenwan tentatively asked:
"You're not trying to tell me that this little wolf cub is yours, are you?"
"Awoo!"
Seeing that Xiao Hei was nodding, Jiang Wenwan knew there was nothing she didn't understand; it was definitely his.
"Okay, so you've had a baby without saying a word?"
What do you mean by bringing one back?
"Let me raise it?"
Little Black nudged its cub towards the candy bag, then turned and ran away.
Tangbao was overjoyed to see the tiny wolf cub, which was only the size of two palms, and circled around it.
"Mom, I want a puppy."
Even Fantuan, Doubao, and Niannian came over and surrounded the little wolf cub, each taking a pat on the head.
Upon hearing Doubao's words, Fantuan immediately looked at Jiang Wenwan.
"Mom, can we raise them?"
I will definitely treat him well, and I'll be as mighty as Little Black!
Jiang Wenwan has raised wolf cubs before, so it's not impossible for her to raise them.
The problem is that the two children are still too young, and I feel that their immune systems might not be strong enough.
Sister-in-law Song's eyes lit up when she looked at the little wolf cub.
