Chapter 225 Third Uncle, I'm Still Growing Up
Yu Yan and Shao Muyan didn't stay in the room for long, which was inappropriate.
The kitchen was bustling with activity. Yu Yan originally wanted to help, but was stopped by Madam Shao.
"Today you're just going to stay here comfortably, play around and eat fruit. San'er, keep an eye on Yan Yan, don't let her do any work." Madam Shao said domineeringly.
Shao Muyan nodded solemnly: "Okay!"
After saying that, he led Yu Yan to sit on the sofa in the living room and eat fruit.
Upon learning that Yu Yan was not afraid of dogs, Mrs. Shao let her beloved dog out.
A cute white Pomeranian ran over and rolled around on the sofa.
This unique way of meeting successfully made Yu Yan laugh.
Shao Muyan picked up the dog. The little dog stared at Yu Yan with its dark eyes, and after a while, it shyly snuggled into Shao Muyan's arms.
"What's wrong with it?" Yu Yan asked. "Can I touch it?"
"You can touch it. It has a good temperament and doesn't bite."
Shao Muyan lifted the dog's paw and let Yu Yan shake hands with it. "Its name is Snowball, and it gets shy whenever it sees a beautiful woman."
"Snowball".
Yu Yan patted the dog's head again and greeted it with a smile, "Hello."
Snowball stuck out its tongue and rolled from Shao Muyan's arms to Yu Yan's arms with a hiss.
After playing with the dog for a while, Yu Wanqiao brought Shao Jing over.
Whether it was from hearing familiar footsteps or not, Snowball lifted its head from Yu Yan's arms with a "whoosh," jumped off the sofa, and pounced on Shao Jing.
Shao Jing picked up Snowball, patted its head, and looked at Shao Muyan and Yu Yan.
"Third Uncle."
Shao Jing called out to Shao Muyan, then politely nodded to Yu Yan: "Hello, Auntie, I'm Shao Jing."
Yu Yan stood up from the sofa. "Hello, Shao Jing."
This was the first time she had met Shao Jing.
Shao Muwen and Yu Wanqiao got married early, and Shao Jing, at fifteen years old this year, is already a tall young man of over 1.8 meters.
Yu Yan estimated his height to be about the same as Shao Muyan's.
"Wow, he's grown taller again."
Shao Muyan led Yu Yan over and stood next to Shao Jing, comparing their heights.
"Yeah, they've caught up with me."
The three Shao brothers are all tall, inheriting their parents' genes, and are all over 1.8 meters tall.
Shao Muyan was the tallest of the three brothers, standing at 186 cm tall, with long arms and legs when lying in bed.
Even the 1.5-meter bed in Yu Yan's room felt too small to fit him.
As soon as Shao Muyan finished speaking, Shao Jing said, "Third Uncle, I'm still growing."
"..." Shao Muyan was speechless for a moment.
Yu Yan rarely saw Shao Muyan make a fool of himself, so she chuckled. Yu Wanqiao took off her coat and smiled apologetically at Yu Yan: "His older brother has a meeting at the last minute and can't find the time. He'll be able to come later."
"fine."
Yu Yan had just waved her hand when Shao Muyan said, "Today is a family banquet. Yu Yan and I are the main characters. You and Shao Jing can represent your family of three. Your older brother is not important."
Yu Wanqiao smiled and tapped him, "If your older brother heard you say that, he'd definitely glare at you."
Yu Yan secretly pinched Shao Muyan to stop him from spouting nonsense.
However, she rarely saw Shao Muyan so mischievous. Professor Shao, who was composed and self-controlled in public, was the youngest at home.
—Shao, the beloved younger brother, Mu Yan.
Mrs. Shao and the old lady returned from the vegetable garden with a basket of vegetables. Yu Wanqiao handed her coat to the maid, tidied her hair, and went to greet the old lady affectionately.
Yu Yan stood not far away watching the scene and found it pleasing to the eye. Her sister-in-law's every move exuded elegance, and she was as beautiful as a painting.
Shao Jing inherited his parents' excellent genes, possessing a refined and noble appearance, with a tall and straight posture like a poplar tree.
Shao Yun and Xiang Chu also picked a basket of vegetables, and somehow their little faces got all dirty.
"Auntie." Shao Yun called Yu Wanqiao the same way as before, and Xiang Chu parroted her, calling her "Auntie" as well, which amused Yu Wanqiao.
Shao Yun turned to look at Chu, "Why do you call me 'aunt'? Just call me 'auntie'."
"Oh." Xiang Chu obediently changed her address: "Hello, Auntie."
Yu Wanqiao patted the heads of the two little ones.
"Take the groceries into the kitchen and go wash your face," Yu Yan said to the two children.
Shao Jing put down the snowball and said to Yu Yan, "Auntie, I'll take my two younger brothers with me."
He walked over and pinched Shao Yun's cheek. "You don't even greet me when you see me?"
Shao Yun responded with a soft "hmm".
"……elder brother."
Shao Jing nodded in satisfaction, patted Shao Yun's head, and asked, "How are your injuries healing? Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Shao Yun was led forward by Shao Jing, but he kept holding Xiang Chu's hand, urging him to keep up.
Shao Jing looked serious and reserved, but he had the steadiness of an older brother.
"Once you've recovered a bit more, I'll take you guys to play soccer and shoot guns. Boys are weak and have poor resistance; how will they protect their country in the future?"
"..." Shao Yun and Xiang Chu were obediently led into the restroom.
Yu Wanqiao said to Yu Yan, "Shao Jing has always been raised by his maternal grandfather and uncle, and his way of speaking is like theirs. Please don't take offense."
Yu Yan shook her head and smiled, "No."
She knew that Shao Yun had been well taken care of in the Shao family over the years.
Shao Mushi and Lin Miao came in arguing.
Madam Shao said, "That familiar commotion sounds like it belongs to Miaomiao and the others. What's that damned second son up to now?"
The two argued for a long time without coming in. Madam Shao and Yu Wanqiao went out to see what was going on. Yu Yan wanted to go too, but Shao Muyan stopped her.
"Let's not get involved in this."
Shao Muyan said, "My second brother and sister-in-law get louder and louder when they argue, it's deafening. My second brother is a bit pretentious; the more people watching, the more excited he gets. We can't indulge his bad habits."
Yu Yan: "..."
Whether it was Madam Shao or Shao Muyan, she felt that Yu Wanqiao and Lin Miao were the real members of the Shao family, while Shao Muwen and Shao Mushi seemed more like outsiders.
She couldn't help but wonder if her and Shao Muyan's status in this family would remain the same in the future.
A moment later, Lin Miao and Shao Mushi entered, but Lin Miao came in first and Shao Mushi followed behind. Lin Miao had a dark face when she came in, while Shao Mushi was all over her, calling her "wife" repeatedly...
Madam Shao and Yu Wanqiao followed them in, one looking helpless and the other used to it.
"Yu Yan." Even with a dark expression, Lin Miao greeted Yu Yan as usual when she walked in.
Yu Yan nodded and called out "Second Sister-in-law". Lin Miao, feeling a chill, went upstairs. Shao Mushi followed her up the stairs and said to Madam Shao, "Mom, dinner will be served later. I need to take care of some housework first."
"Go quickly."
Unable to bear it any longer, Madam Shao kicked Shao Mushi and said fiercely, "Try provoking Miaomiao again, and I'll knock your teeth out!"
Shao Mushi rushed upstairs.
Yu Yan was stunned by the couple. Suddenly, she remembered someone saying that Shao Mushi and Lin Miao never had a cold war; they only fought each other.
Today she has truly witnessed it.
