"Da Bao and the others are in Xiao Wu's room."
Looking at Song Lan's retreating figure, Li Jumei said something.
"knew."
Song Lan responded, her voice full of laughter.
-
"Second sister, do you really have a boyfriend?"
Xiao Liu was originally in her older brother Xiao Wu's room, playing with Da Bao and the other three. Unexpectedly, she overheard Song Lan and Qin Yaxin's conversation and learned that her second sister had a boyfriend. Out of curiosity, the 14-year-old girl went to Qin Yaxin's room and immediately asked for confirmation.
Looking into her bright and lively eyes, Qin Yaxin gently poked the younger girl's forehead and said with a smile, "Why do you, a little girl, know so much?"
"I overheard your conversation with your sister-in-law by chance, which is why I thought of coming over to check it out!"
Xiao Liu tugged at her second sister Qin Yaxin's arm and swayed it: "Second sister, just tell me, okay? I'm just curious!"
Earlier, Qin Yaxin, Li Jumei, and Aunt Liu were talking in their normal voices, so Xiao Liu could only vaguely hear their voices in his brother Xiao Wu's room, and he couldn't make out what they were saying.
When Song Lan came home from get off work, Xiao Liu's ears were like radars. He immediately heard her soft, smiling voice, so he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen carefully to Song Lan and Qin Yaxin's conversation.
And so, the young girl was filled with curiosity, which led to her appearing in Qin Yaxin's room.
"Okay, okay, why not?!"
Qin Yaxin poked her younger sister Xiao Liu's forehead again, a smile on her face. She said, "That's right, your second sister has a boyfriend. Want to know what he looks like?"
Xiao Liu nodded vigorously: "Thinking and thinking, Second Sister, please tell me!"
Seeing this, Qin Yaxin's eyes filled with pride. She said the name of a movie and then said, "The male lead in this movie is your future brother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu was extremely surprised. Before she could recover, Qin Yaxin said again, "How about that? Isn't your second sister amazing?"
"What do you mean by 'impressive' or 'not impressive'?"
Xiao Liu looked completely bewildered.
"You're clearly smart and quick-witted, so how come you can't figure out what I'm talking about? Are you pretending to be confused in front of your second sister?"
Qin Yaxin's expression was full of inquiry.
"I'm not pretending to be confused,"
Xiao Liu deliberately feigned a wronged expression: "I really don't understand, Second Sister, you can't wrong me!"
Qin Yaxin looked at her suspiciously for a moment and said, "Alright, let's pretend I wronged you just now. Now listen carefully, what I mean is..."
Being stared at intently by her younger sister, whose eyes were brimming with curiosity, Qin Yaxin abruptly stopped speaking. She felt a little embarrassed. After calming down, she cleared her throat and said:
"Your future brother-in-law is not only a famous actor, but more importantly, he's incredibly handsome. It's clear that many girls like him, yet he's about to become your brother-in-law. Now tell me, isn't I, your second sister, amazing?"
Xiao Liu cooperated readily, giving a thumbs-up: "Awesome!" But then she added, "But Second Sister, is my future brother-in-law, whom you described as handsome, as handsome as my eldest and second brothers? As handsome as Brother Song, Brother Song, and Brother Guoqing?"
Qin Yaxin looked depressed.
"No, right?!"
Xiao Liu chuckled and said, "My future brother-in-law isn't as good-looking as my eldest brother and the others. It's his good fortune that you, my second sister, like him. And the fact that he likes you, my second sister, only proves that you are exceptionally good!"
As he spoke, Xiao Liu slightly raised his chin, his expression not too arrogant.
"Your future brother-in-law's appearance can't compare to your eldest brother's, but if you compare him to your second brother and Brother Song, I think he's about the same."
Qin Yaxin defended her boyfriend, but she didn't seem very confident.
"Second sister, say whatever you want. Anyway, he's your boyfriend, so as long as you're satisfied, that's all that matters."
Xiao Liu is a very understanding girl:
"Besides, it's not important whether a person is good-looking or not. What matters is their character. If someone is incredibly good-looking but has a terrible character and only knows how to do bad things, I wouldn't want such a person even if they were given to me for free!"
"How old are you? What do you want?"
Qin Yaxin lightly tapped Xiao Liu's forehead with her finger and shook her head with amusement.
"I was just using an analogy."
Xiao Liu crossed her arms and gave a light hum, saying, "Besides, I'm already fourteen, and in a few months I'll be fifteen. I'm not far from adulthood. When that time comes, it will be legal and reasonable for me to date. Now that I have you, Second Sister, to guide me, the partner I find in the future will definitely not be bad!"
"If Da Bao and the others heard what you said, they would definitely be embarrassed in front of you."
Qin Yaxin looked on with amusement, but Xiao Liu didn't seem uncomfortable at all. She said, "I'm Da Bao's aunt, but I'm also their friend. It's no big deal to be embarrassed by your own friend."
"Alright, I concede defeat!"
She was truly impressed by the girl's silver tongue and shamelessness.

It was winter. After dinner, Song Lan, Li Jumei, and Aunt Liu took the four children, Da Bao, for a walk in the yard to digest their food. About fifteen minutes later, the four children went to wash up on their own. Then, without Song Lan saying anything, they all climbed into bed and lay down.
Considering that the third and fourth children are still quite young, they have not yet slept in separate rooms; in other words, they still share a room with their maternal grandmother, Li Jumei.
"Mom, Sanbao and Sibao are asleep, you should get some rest too."
Song Lan closed the children's bedtime storybook and casually placed it on the desk beside her. Seeing Li Jumei still sitting on the bed knitting, she couldn't help but whisper something to her.
"I'll go to sleep after I finish knitting these few pieces."
Li Jumei looked up at Song Lan, her hands still busy, and said, "Your second brother is several years older than Yaxin, but he still doesn't have a girlfriend. I get worried about him."
"It's okay for gay men to get married later."
Song Lan smiled and reassured Li Jumei, "Besides, Boyan still doesn't have a girlfriend!"
“Your second brother is older than Boyan.”
Li Jumei said, "Write a letter for me another day to urge your second brother to find someone and get married. Our third and fourth children will be starting elementary school soon. If we let your second brother drag this out, he might just say he doesn't want to get married. What will your father and I do then?!"
"Alright, I'll write a letter for you urging my second brother to get married soon!"
Song Lan smiled and shook her head: "Actually, finding a partner sometimes depends on fate. Maybe my second brother and my future sister-in-law are just not meant to be yet, which is why there hasn't been any news yet."
"You're just taking your second brother's side!"
Li Jumei glared at Song Lan: "We're only asking him to find someone and get married because we want what's best for him. If we keep putting it off, he might have trouble having children when he gets older."
