Chapter 44: Little Peach is a wild child without a mother
When Jiang Haitang heard the soft and cute voice of a baby, her heart melted. She picked up the little peach and gave it a kiss.
Little Peach giggled happily.
"Mom heard that Xiao Taozi is very well behaved."
"Little Taozi is good. Grandma Kong gave her some candy. She saved some sweet candy for her mother."
As the little guy said this, he actually took out a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket.
Lu Liangchen saw it, laughed and scolded: "You little heartless boy, you only think about your mother."
"Dad doesn't like candy." Little Peach said immediately.
Xiao Taozi suddenly called out "Dad", and Lu Liangchen felt like he was frozen in an instant.
It took a long time before he regained his language ability.
"Xiao Taozi, what did you just say?"
"Dad doesn't like candy!" Little Peach said again.
"Haitang, did you hear that? Xiao Taozi called me daddy. She finally called me daddy."
Lu Liangchen happily hugged Jiang Haitang and Xiao Taozi in her arms, as if he wanted to rub them into his bones and blood.
After a long time, his eyes were still misty, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he was choking and unable to speak.
Jiang Haitang didn't expect that just the word "Dad" could make Lu Liangchen so excited.
Little Taozi was a little frightened and didn't know what to do for a moment. She twisted her hands, pursed her lips and said nothing.
“I only have one candy.”
After a while, Xiao Taozi finally spoke again.
The two adults were stunned for a moment, then they realized that the little guy was worried about not giving his father candy.
"What a clever trick!" Jiang Haitang laughed.
"Dad doesn't eat candy, so from now on all the candy will be given to Xiao Taozi and Mom."
Lu Liangchen hugged Xiao Taozi and rubbed his face against the little guy's face.
"Daddy, it's itchy."
The little guy hurriedly pushed Lu Liangchen's face away.
"Xiao Taozi, let's go play with Sister Erni."
Xiao Taozi immediately and decisively waved goodbye to her old father.
Humph, daddy pricked her with his beard, she’s not obedient!
As they were about to leave, Jiang Haitang turned around and said, "Director Lu, can I measure your size another day?"
Hearing Jiang Haitang's words, Lu Liangchen's mouth curved up and he was in great joy.
Jiang Haitang pulled Xiao Taozi out, leaving Lu Liangchen alone with a silly smile.
Little Taozi held her mother's hand, saying something unknown, leaving behind a string of giggles.
When they got to the next room, Liu Hongmei said mischievously, "I can hear the laughter of your family of three from far away."
Jiang Haitang blushed: "Director Liu... why are you teasing me?"
"Dad, Mom, and Little Peach, aren't we a family of three? Isn't that right, Little Peach?"
I don’t know if the little guy understood, but he nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
While sewing, Jiang Haitang suddenly had an idea and picked up some scraps of cloth and sewed a few hair flowers.
Liu Hongmei looked very surprised.
"It's even prettier than the hair ornaments I bought at the Supply and Marketing Building."
Dani happened to see it and liked it very much.
Girls in their teens know how to dress up.
I saw my classmates tying hair flowers on their braids before, and I wanted one too.
Old Mrs. Kong thought it was a waste of money and refused to agree. The little girl was disappointed for several days.
"Your Aunt Haitang is very skillful. These two are for you. This one is for Erni, and this one is for Xiaotao."
Erwa just walked in and immediately refused to listen to what Liu Hongmei said.
"Mom, why didn't I have one?"
"Mine, mine."
Erni ran over quickly and took hers from Liu Hongmei, holding it tightly with her little hands, fearing that her second brother would snatch it away.
"Mom? What is this?" Erwa asked after he finished arguing and saw the flowers in the little girls' hands.
"A little girl's hairpin, you little brat, you want to grab anything, and you want to take the hairpin and act like a little girl?"
When he heard that she was a little girl, Erwa immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to look at her any more.
He is a man and doesn't want to be a little girl.
Just at this moment, Xiao Taozi tilted her head, made up her mind, picked up her hair flower and handed it to Erwa.
"The little peach one is for my brother."
"I don't want it, take it away!" Erwa took two steps back and firmly refused Xiao Taozi.
This little girl is so annoying. She wants me to be a little girl?
I won't like her anymore!
The rejected little Taozi was very hurt: "Mom, brother doesn't want it."
She was indeed a little reluctant, but in the end she had to give it up with great reluctance.
Instead of thanking her, her brother was mean to her.
Not good!
Jiang Haitang looked at the aggrieved little Taozi and explained with a smile.
"Brother is a boy, he doesn't tie his hair up, this is for our little Tao."
Xiao Taozi touched her hair and felt even more aggrieved.
"Mom, Xiao Taozi is a girl, and Xiao Taozi doesn't have braids!"
The little guy pouted and cried.
When Dani heard what Xiao Taozi said, she didn't understand why she was crying.
She didn't have braids when she was a child, and she never cried.
Jiang Haitang hugged Xiao Taozi and gently comforted her, "Mommy will braid Xiao Taozi's hair, okay?"
When she heard about braiding hair, the little girl immediately became happy and jumped and clapped her hands.
"Mom is going to braid my hair. She's going to braid my hair. They can no longer say that Xiao Taozi is a wild child without a mother."
Jiang Haitang heard this clearly and her expression changed instantly.
It seems that Xiao Taozi is being gossiped about at school.
I don’t know if Xiao Taozi’s teacher knows about this situation. I have to tell Director Lu.
"Director Liu, Auntie, I'm going to take Xiao Taozi back first."
Old Mrs. Kong was also curious why Xiao Taozi called Jiang Haitang "Mom".
But I didn't have the courage to ask.
"Let me help you deliver these fabrics."
Liu Hongmei is extremely gossipy. It seems that the family of three next door is living a good life.
In the next yard, Lu Liangchen was washing his hands after finishing his work in the fields. He heard the sound at the door and knew that Jiang Haitang and Xiao Taozi had returned.
"My little Taozi is back?" he shouted with a smile.
When Xiao Taozi heard Lu Liangchen calling her, she quickly jumped out of Jiang Haitang's arms and ran to Lu Liangchen to show off.
"Daddy, Mommy wants to braid my hair."
The emotion expressed in that little look was perfect.
Lu Liangchen understood, she just disliked that he didn't know how to braid his hair.
Pinching Xiao Taozi's nose, Lu Liangchen said, "Little guy, you are so cunning. You seem to dislike your daddy."
Liu Hongmei smiled and handed the cloth in her hand to Jiang Haitang, then waved goodbye.
A family of three, all right, no escape.
After Jiang Haitang washed Xiao Taozi's hands and feet, she carried her to bed and coaxed her to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the little girl insisted on having her hair braided.
"Mom, I want pretty braids."
Jiang Haitang had no choice but to braid her hair.
After tying her hair into braids, the little one went to bed contentedly.
After the little one fell asleep, Jiang Haitang tucked in the quilt for her and went out.
Lu Liangchen was sitting in the living room. When he saw Jiang Haitang coming out of the bedroom, he stood up.
"Is Xiaotaozi asleep?"
"Well, she won't go to bed until her hair is braided."
Jiang Haitang had a gentle smile on her face, which made Lu Liangchen infatuated.
Jiang Haitang felt uncomfortable under the burning gaze and coughed lightly.
Lu Liangchen only then realized that he had lost his composure.
"Director Lu, Xiao Taozi might have encountered some problems at school. Some kids seem to call her a wild child."
