Shen Zhiyi pulled Shen Zhishu and Shen Zhili aside and whispered to them, "Brother, are we going too far? Huo Jinxi likes my sister and treats her so well. I think my sister is already loved by so many people, and one more Huo Jinxi won't be much. Why don't we give him some of my sister? He is the only child in his family without any brothers or sisters. How lonely and pitiful he must be."
Shen Zhili glanced at Huo Jinxi who was standing silently by the side watching Fubao, and suddenly agreed, "Yes, yes, he is really a little pitiful. Why don't we really give him some of our sister?"
Shen Zhishu, "..."
What's going on? Didn't he just say he wanted to take his sister back? Why is he giving her away now?
Shen Zhishu was a little depressed, but considering the New Year, he thought about it, walked over and said to Huo Jinxi, "Don't stand here alone, let's play with Fubao together."
Huo Jinxi raised his eyebrows, "Can I?"
Shen Zhishu was immediately embarrassed, "Ahem, sure."
In a place where he couldn't see, Huo Jinxi curled his lips. With his performance, these four future brothers-in-law temporarily accepted him.
A group of children continued to play wildly in the yard. The adults didn't care and went into the house to listen to the broadcast and songs on the radio with relish, eating melon seeds and nuts while chatting, looking very happy.
Late at night, Shen Zhishu told his three younger brothers that he wanted to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year. The boys readily agreed and urged Fubao to go to bed, fearing that she would be tired.
Fubao shook her head. The whole family was particularly happy during the Chinese New Year this year. How could she go to bed by herself? She also wanted to stay up all night.
Shen Zhishu couldn't persuade her, so he took her hand and led the three younger brothers into the house. The old couple couldn't bear the sleepiness and went to sleep. Shen Jianlin and Lin Xiujuan continued to listen to the radio for a while and then they also felt sleepy. Not long after, they also went to their respective rooms to sleep.
Jiang Meilan originally planned to stay up all night with the children, but not long after, she fell asleep leaning on the sofa.
Fubao took Shen Zhishu to the inner room, fetched a quilt, and gently covered Jiang Meilan with it.
Jiang Meilan felt as if someone covered her with a blanket in a daze, and she was immediately wrapped in warmth. She opened her eyes and saw Fubao's cute little face.
Her heart suddenly softened. This little girl was too sensible and considerate!
"Fubao, come here, come to your auntie." Jiang Meilan waved at her. Fubao took off his shoes and climbed onto the sofa obediently. Then she hugged him into the warm bed.
"Auntie, I won't sleep. I want to stay up all night with my brothers."
Jiang Meilan smiled and scratched her little nose, "Okay, Fubao won't sleep, but you have to cover yourself with a blanket to prevent yourself from catching a cold."
"Okay~" Fubao responded obediently, allowing Jiang Meilan to hug him and rubbing against her arms.
Holding a delicate and soft little girl in her arms, Jiang Meilan was so moved that she almost cried, as if she was holding the daughter she had always dreamed of having.
Jiang Meilan felt satisfied holding Fubao tightly. After closing her eyes, she fell asleep quickly.
Fubao was also sleepy, but seeing her brothers still eating and listening to the radio, as if they were not sleepy at all, she forced herself not to fall asleep. Unfortunately, she was too sleepy in the end and could not stand it any longer, so she slowly closed her eyes.
Huo Jinxi sat down beside her, and felt at peace as he watched her sleeping in Jiang Meilan's arms.
