The Li Family Manor.
The old man of the Li family was reclining in his special rocking chair, listening to Peking Opera while closing his eyes to rest.
In the sweltering summer heat, the central air conditioning kept the indoor temperature just right, making it very comfortable.
The tables in the rest area were set with clean fruit, chilled with ice, making them refreshingly cool to eat.
Seventh brother Li Mujun sat cross-legged on the small sofa in the rest area, listening blankly to the faint Peking Opera singing coming from the antique phonograph, completely devoid of soul.
Perhaps because he was still young, Li Mujun couldn't appreciate opera at all. Every time he accompanied his grandfather to listen to opera, he would be particularly lost in thought, only finding the opera singing style very soporific.
However, the old man of the Li family was determined to cultivate his children's interest in traditional culture, so he forced the Li family's Calabash Brothers to take turns listening to Peking Opera with him.
Today it was Li Mujun's turn.
Xiao Yanbao never needed her grandfather to force her; she had an innate interest in traditional culture.
Writing calligraphy, dancing classical dance, listening to Peking Opera...
She would be especially enthusiastic, and because of this, the old man of the Li family loved and doted on this precious little granddaughter even more.
"Fourth Uncle has taken my sister out for quite a while now, why hasn't she come back yet?"
Finally, the famous Peking Opera excerpt came to a temporary end. Li Mujun glanced at the time on her watch and frowned as she spoke.
He turned his gaze to the outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his heart filled with worry.
Uncle Si is such an unlucky person. If he takes his sister out to play, won't it bring bad things to her?
Thinking of this, Li Mujun's brows furrowed even deeper, and she became increasingly uneasy.
Seeing that the old master of the Li family seemed unmoved, Li Mujun couldn't help but ask:
"Grandpa, aren't you worried that Fourth Uncle will lose my sister?"
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case, right?
Of all the family members, Grandpa distrusted Fourth Uncle the least, but he also doted on Xiao Yanbao the most.
Allow someone you don't trust to take the person you love most out with you.
The old man was able to remain remarkably calm, which is truly admirable!
"Don't worry, they'll be back soon."
The old man of the Li family slowly opened his eyes, gave Li Mujun a reassuring look, and said, "Although your fourth uncle is not very bright, Yanbao is very smart!"
The key point is that he recently had a very skilled fortune teller do a divination for the Li family's children, especially for Li Qichen and Xiao Yanbao.
That person told the old man of the Li family: Xiao Yanbao is a very lucky person. Anyone who stays with her will basically be able to turn bad luck into good.
No wonder the fourth brother has seemed much more normal lately.
The old man of the Li family believed that this was because the fourth son often spent time with Xiao Yanbao.
He also regarded Xiao Yanbao as Li Qichen's lucky star, and also as the lucky star of their entire Li family.
In short, the Li family has found an absolute treasure!
Just then, the butler came to report: "The fourth young master and the young lady have entered the manor."
They're finally back!
Li Mujun's eyes lit up instantly. He quickly got up from the sofa and ran towards the door, eager to see his precious little sister.
Although he and his sister had only been apart for a few hours, Li Mujun felt as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
A day apart feels like three autumns!
"Fourth Uncle, we must keep what happened today a secret, okay?"
Xiao Yanbao lowered her voice slightly and gave a brief instruction to her fourth uncle, Li Qichen.
Li Qichen followed the little guy's example, lowering his voice to a volume only the two of them could hear, and said:
"Don't worry, Yanbao, your fourth uncle won't tell those guys! Otherwise they'll think I've gone crazy again."
A bunch of ignorant and uncultured people!
Li Qichen couldn't help but complain inwardly.
When he was the only one who could see the unlucky guy, he really suspected that he had a mental illness and that everything he saw was a hallucination.
Now that he's seen a lot of the world with Xiao Yanbao, he's started to act arrogantly.
It turns out that only certain people can see things from another world.
He even felt that talking to the rest of the Li family was like talking to a brick wall!
"Yanbao, you're finally back!"
As soon as the door to the main house was opened, Li Mujun came out to greet them, looking at Xiao Yanbao with eyes full of joy.
"Seventh Brother~"
Her soft, sweet little voice melts your heart.
Li Mujun quickly opened her arms and hugged her younger sister. The soft, fluffy little dumpling felt wonderful to hold.
Then, Li Mujun picked up her younger sister and turned to go back into the house.
Li Qichen felt as if he had been utterly ignored.
He couldn't help but reach out and grab Li Mujun's shoulder, pretending to be fierce as he questioned her:
"Seventh Brother, can't you see me? Why are you only talking to Yanbao and completely ignoring your fourth uncle?"
Does his fourth uncle have so little status in the family?
"Why did you take Yanbao out for so long before bringing him back?"
Li Mujun finally paid attention to her fourth uncle, Li Qichen, but she turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, saying in a completely annoyed tone:
"Don't you know Yanbao needs to drink formula every three hours? Humph! You're a grown-up, but you act like a child, you don't understand anything!"
After saying that, Li Mujun snorted at Li Qichen and then took Xiao Yanbao back into the house, completely leaving Li Qichen standing there.
"..."
Human babies these days are really something else!
Each one is more formidable than the last, and each one has a bigger temper than the last.
This is absolutely outrageous!
"Yanbao, are you hungry?"
Li Mujun reached out and touched Xiao Yanbao's fluffy little head, asking gently.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanbao unconsciously touched her little tummy with her tiny hand and replied in a childish voice, "A little bit."
"Then you sit here obediently, and your seventh brother will go and make you some milk powder."
Li Mujun said with complete indulgence, then turned around to make milk powder for Xiao Yanbao.
The little boy hurriedly said something to his seventh brother's retreating figure:
"Thank you, Seventh Brother! Seventh Brother is so kind!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, letting out a long sigh of relief.
It has to be said that this incident involving the fetus spirit consumed a lot of her energy.
I really hope that something like this never happens again!
She suddenly realized how hard Uncle Death worked.
Meanwhile, Li Qichen, who didn't want to listen to Peking Opera with the old man, hurriedly said to Li Mujun, "Seventh Brother, you rest, I'll go make some milk powder for Yanbao."
Li Mujun, however, clutched Xiao Yanbao's milk bottle protectively to her chest, glaring at her fourth uncle with wary eyes, and said:
"No need, as long as I'm here, I'll make all the formula for my younger siblings!"
"From now on, you're not allowed to take my sister out to run around by yourself anymore!"
