Upon hearing this, the soft, cuddly little one gently shook its head, its bright eyes blinking as it said in a clear, crisp voice, "No, that won't do."
"Huh? Why not? Does your little darling not like Second Grandma?"
"No, no, it's because Tuanzi wants Second Grandma to get some rest."
Forehead?
I see!
The second wife's face instantly lit up with emotion: "Oh my, our little darling is so sensible, much more sensible than your uncle."
That brat, when has he ever said such sweet and heartwarming things to his own mother all these years?
This has never happened before, okay?
Gu Ziling, who had been standing silently to the side, was also caught in the crossfire and suddenly felt an urge to run away.
The little guy shyly turned around and hugged his dad's leg... hiding from everyone.
Fortunately, Commander Gu spoke up at this moment: "Go inside, everyone." This relieved the little grandson's predicament.
As soon as the little guy went inside, he turned a corner and ran towards the kitchen. When he saw Ye Wanying, he ran over to her with great enthusiasm.
"Mommy~ Mommy~~"
Ye Wanying didn't dare to make any sudden movements, still holding a kitchen knife in her hand: "Ahem, what's wrong?"
The little boy then let go of her hand and slowly said, "Mommy, a second uncle and a second aunt came. The second aunt gave Tuanzi this." The Guanyin jade pendant was now spread out in the little boy's palm.
Ye Wanying's lips twitched a few times when she saw it. She thought to herself: What a waste of a little guy. Only you would hold such a top-grade imperial green jade in your hand. It's really painful to look at.
Grandma Hui, however, didn't seem too surprised when she saw what the little boy was holding. She said meaningfully, "Not bad, Meimei is thoughtful. Xiao Ye, put that pendant on the child. It's been blessed and will keep him safe."
Forehead?
Has it been blessed?
Ye Wanying looked at it from left to right, but couldn't figure out where it had been consecrated. She had heard of consecration before, but she had never understood how it was done.
Could it be that we're cutting something open?
However, he still took the jade pendant from the little man's hand, straightened it, and then hung it around the little guy's neck.
Since Grandma Hui said so, it must be true!
"Don't you understand what consecration actually means?"
Forehead...
Grandma Hui, can you read minds?
The old man smiled and said, "It means placing your personal belongings in the temple, in front of the Buddha statue, where the monks chant sutras and recite Buddhist scriptures every day. In the last few days, a master with profound merit will perform a blessing ritual, which is called 'opening and closing'."
Ye Wanying finally understood the meaning of consecration. She felt grateful to the elder she had not yet met. Regardless of whether he believed in Buddhism or not, his heart was truly good. He had started preparing well in advance.
People are hoping for the little one to be safe and healthy, aren't they?
"You heard it too, so remember to wear this every day from now on, okay?" Ye Wanying pinched her son's little face.
The little guy nodded: "Okay, Tuanzi remembers. But Mommy, should I wear it when I go to bed and take a bath at night?" he asked.
"You don't need to wear it when showering or sleeping."
Tuanzi nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Alright, go out now, dinner will be ready soon."
The little guy becomes incredibly well-behaved as soon as he hears "food," and immediately runs off.
Ye Wanying couldn't help but smile wryly. This little guy runs so fast when he hears about food; people who don't know better might think he's being mistreated at home and not getting enough to eat.
