The courtyards of the three Ping'an brothers are surrounded by a back garden, among which the May Day courtyard is located behind a lush green bamboo.
At this time, three large military dogs were squatting in front of the courtyard gate, looking at their three puppy sons running and rolling by the pond, but they were standing guard in their original positions.
In the yard, the twin brothers Liuyi and Wuyi were sitting on a stone bench, their elbows resting on the stone table and chatting. Ping'an, sitting on a rattan chair beside them, dozed with his eyes closed, and occasionally replied to them.
"Little brother, come over and help me tidy up the bamboos over there every once in a while. They grow too fast. It's okay in the summer, but Mom said that in the winter, when the wind blows, they rustle. I think she's a little scared."
"Okay. We have to hire someone to maintain the yard every year anyway, so I'll have it done." Liuyi picked up the teapot and poured water into three cups. He added slowly, "Actually, it's not just the bamboo. Some of the trees we transplanted a few years ago have also grown quite tall. I don't approve of having large trees in the yard."
"Are you worried about thieves or walls with ears?"
"Just in case."
Wuyi smiled noncommittally and said, "Then you can do whatever you want. Safety first."
"Tsk, you're just worrying for nothing. Dad has already considered this issue. Didn't you see that there are only short trees in the yards nearby, and only the old tree is in the front yard?"
"I don't doubt our father's ability." Liuyi paused, "But to be honest, from a safety perspective, short trees won't work either. It would be best if the yard was full of open space."
Wuyi pointed outside and said with a smile, "For example, the pavilion?"
"Of course. Tonight, Mom arranged for Grandpa and the others to have a drink over there."
"Brother, you are most like our mother."
"Nonsense! I'm her son, if I'm not her, who else should I look like?"
"I said the personality is the most similar. Actually, to be honest, of the three brothers, I look the most like my mother."
Ping An opened his eyes, glanced at him, and smiled, "Yes, what a pity, it would have been better if you were a girl. When mom was pregnant with you, dad tricked me."
Wu Yiyi turned around with interest when he heard this and said, "Brother, tell me."
"Speak? Hahaha..." Ping'an laughed out loud. "Back then, before you were even born, Dad kept instilling this idea in me. He said that if I had a younger sister, I'd have to get married, and lose both my money and my wife. It would be a huge loss. My younger brother is better off. He can get married, bring a dowry, and even earn someone to work for me..."
“Hahahaha…” The brothers May Day and June Day laughed out loud when they heard that.
"I thought, 'Yeah,'" Ping An said, amused by his childhood thoughts. "Back then, I kept saying I wanted a brother and decided I didn't want a sister."
"Brother, do you regret it now?"
"No, not really. When my sister grows up, I have to worry about her marrying the wrong person. When she gets married, I have to worry about her being bullied by her husband's family. My brother is better. Although you are a little upset, at least I don't have to worry about getting married."
"Your statement is inconsistent." Liuyi pointed at Wuyi, "I actually want him to be a younger sister. I can dress him in a flowery dress and pigtail his hair."
"Come on." Wuyi glanced at him sideways. "Isn't Xiaotangtang your sister? Why haven't I seen you braiding her hair?"
Ping An immediately sat up, looked at Liu Yi teasingly, and said with a smile, "You don't understand this, right? This sister is not that sister. You lose to him in this respect."
"Little girls are so annoying. If I want to find one, I can just wave my hand and there will be plenty of them!"
Liuyi glanced at his brother speechlessly: Stop showing off!
"Brother, you're already 25 years old now." Wuyi said seriously to Ping'an, "Whether it's from the perspective of eugenics or our family's needs, it's time for you to find a husband."
Liuyi also looked at Ping'an with a smile: Will you confess and get leniency, or?
"You just wave your hand, there are so many, are you such a coward as me?"
Wuyi was quite distressed and spread his hands. "That's not the case. The key is that my brother is too good. I can't think of any girl who is worthy of him."
Liuyi raised his thin lips: "Silly!"
"Two, one-on-one?"
"Who's afraid of whom?"
Ping An rolled his eyes at his two younger brothers and said, "That's enough!"
"Forget it, I won't argue with him."
Liuyi glanced at his younger brother and raised his chin towards his older brother. "So I said you're stupid, but you still don't believe it?"
"Wait." Wuyi stared at him, rolled his eyes, looked at Ping'an again, and then slapped himself on the forehead with a "slap".
"Look at that, stupid guy!"
"Little brother, hey, you're always with Big Brother, do you smell something?" Wuyi winked. "Big Brother really has a purpose? Who is it?"
Liuyi rolled his eyes at the thought: "What kind of brother is this? Are you stupid? And you can even smell something? Do you think you're Huniu's brother?"
"Brother~"
Wuyi stretched out his voice and poked him with his finger. Of course, his leg was itchy, and a kick would be even better. Never mind, the most important thing for a man is to be able to stretch and shrink!
Liuyi was startled by the drawn-out voice and immediately raised his hands, "Brother, please, brother, let's talk normally."
"Hey, give me a little reminder."
Liuyi looked at Ping'an after hearing this and said, "Brother, are you going to do it or should I? You'd better tell him, otherwise he will definitely make a big fuss about you."
"Brother, you've broken my heart. You actually, actually..." Wuyi looked at Ping'an with a blaming look, pointing at Ping'an with a trembling finger, "You actually hid something from me? We agreed that the three brothers would love each other. We agreed that I was the younger brother you trusted the most. We agreed that I was the youngest and that you had to love me the most. Your image as a good brother has collapsed..."
"Alright! What about acting?" Ping An kicked him speechlessly. "Who told you to be so stupid?"
"Really?" Wuyi immediately stopped laughing and looked at him seriously, "Which girl? Do I know her? Don't just accept any random person."
Liuyi interjected, "First, tell me the criteria for being our sister-in-law."
"This..." Wuyi frowned, "It's too late to talk about this now. Let's not talk about family background for now, but he should be a decent person, right? Otherwise..."
"Oh my! My brother-in-law is even more difficult to deal with than my sister-in-law."
Wuyi glanced at Liuyi. Business was more important; he wasn't in the mood for jokes. How could his brother have started dating so quietly?
Does his mother know? Your son has been snatched away by a little girl.
Ping An was being stared at closely by Wu Yi. After a moment's silence, he glared at his two younger brothers and looked away. "Liu Yi, you speak."
Liuyi raised the corner of his mouth, staring at Ping'an with a teasing smile, "Brother, your earlobes are red."
"Looking for a beating!"
"Hurry up and tell me!" Wuyi finally kicked his itchy foot and swept it towards Liuyi. He didn't care that Liuyi dodged him, thinking that he finally felt relieved. "Who?"
Liuyi glanced at Ping'an with regret and shook his head. It would be fun to tease him again. He reluctantly uttered a word: "Qu."
