When this was mentioned, the eldest and second oldest brothers looked at Fubao with fanaticism.
Shen Jianian was also looking forward to it, although he didn't quite understand what child marriage was and what it would be for in the future. Perhaps it meant just being good friends.
He wants to be good friends with Fubao.
In the past, there were many cases of betrothal in the village, some even before the child was born, but Old Lady Shen was not willing to betroth Fubao. Her little sweetheart was only five years old, and if she was betrothed, wouldn't every time she saw her, she would think that she already had a husband and would get married in the future? How depressing!
Out of selfish motives, Mrs. Shen still wanted Fubao to belong to her own family and not have anything to do with other families.
So, she thought about it for a while, and said with a smile, "This... the child is still so young, let's not talk about this for now. Besides, isn't it the reform and opening up now? We have to change our concepts. So, for this important matter of marriage, let's wait until the child grows up and makes the decision himself."
He Qiuju understood that the old lady was tactfully refusing.
But this is normal. After all, the Shen family loves Fubao so much, how could they be willing to arrange a marriage for her so soon and just give her away like that?
He Qiuju didn't care, but the three boys felt a little disappointed.
Fu Bao was very satisfied with the meal, and Shen Zhile was also full. Seeing that he was still eating a chicken drumstick, as if he was going to eat his fill, Fu Bao leaned over and whispered, "Fourth brother, I will definitely find a way to let you eat meat every day!"
Shen Zhile was stunned at first, then he smiled at her with his greasy mouth, "Really? Okay, Fourth Brother, wait!"
"It's a must!"
Looking at Fubao's sweet smile, Shen Jianian suddenly turned to look at He Qiuju, and said with a blushing face: "Mom, I...I want to give Fubao a gift."
He Qiuju's eyes lit up, "Really? Okay, what do you want to give me?"
My son is shy, introverted, and a little dull. He doesn't like to talk and doesn't like to get close to others. This is the first time he has taken the initiative to get close to others.
As expected, a beautiful and lovely girl like Fubao is irresistible. When she saw her, she wanted to have another daughter.
Shen Jianian jumped off the chair, ran to his room, and took out a set of colorful picture books. This was bought for him by Shen Nan half a year ago, but the cover was still new, obviously he had kept it very well.
He did not take it to Fubao immediately, but ran back to He Qiuju and quietly showed her the picture book, "Mom, I want to give this to Fubao, will she like it?"
When He Qiuju saw that it was Journey to the West, she was a little surprised, "Isn't this your favorite comic book? Do you really want to give it away?"
"Well! If Fubao likes it, I'll give it to her." Shen Jianian said while glancing at Fubao, his voice small and shy.
He Qiuju saw that her son had a good impression of Fubao, so she smiled and said, "Well, go and give the book to Fubao. She will definitely like it!"
Encouraged by his mother, Shen Jianian gained a little courage. He walked to Fubao with the complete set of comic books, looked at her with a blushing face, and said nervously: "Fubao... I... this is for you!"
The eldest and second oldest brothers of the village chief's family saw this and started to make a noise, "Hey, third brother, you are too rude. You have learned how to give gifts! Even if you give gifts, Fubao will not be engaged to you!"
Shen Jianian hesitated, "I...I want to be friends with Fubao and play with her!"
