At noon, Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan were able to leave the palace to celebrate Si Jin's birthday.
As an emperor, he had to attend morning court every day unless there was something important.
After attending the morning court and having breakfast, and then discussing state affairs with the ministers, it was already past noon.
He and Zhu Wuhuan changed into common people's clothes, carried a large food box with the little baby in it, and then went straight to the Si family with a good mood to watch a good show.
As they walked into the alley, they saw Si Jin sitting at the door of his house from afar.
The little guy in new clothes sat on a small stool, holding his chin with his little hand and looking at the entrance of the alley in a daze. I don’t know how long he looked at it before he began to doze off.
Seeing him so confused, Feng Changye laughed and called out, "Jin'er——"
When Si Jin heard the voice, he sat up straight.
His pupils suddenly dilated and he looked up at the person who came.
He stared blankly at the couple approaching, not daring to recognize them for a moment. It had been over three months since he last saw his brother and sister-in-law, and his impression of them had become somewhat hazy...
He didn't stand up until his brother and sister-in-law came closer. He hesitated and said, "Brother, sister-in-law?"
Feng Changye curled his lips, "Why, you don't recognize your brother?"
When Si Jin heard his brother's words, he finally confirmed that this was his brother!
He happily rushed to his brother and hugged his legs. "Brother, sister-in-law, you are finally back! I have been waiting since early morning and almost fell asleep!"
Feng Changye pinched his nose and said, "Are you sad? Do you think your brother won't come back?"
Si Jin shook his head desperately, looking at his brother with an innocent smile on his face, "No, I know my brother won't lie to me. He will come back if he says he will! I believe in him!"
Feng Changye couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when he met his innocent eyes.
The current Xiao Jin'er is completely different from Feng Changjin, making it impossible for him not to like her.
He smiled and put his arm around Jin'er's little shoulders as they walked in. Zhu Wuhuan followed behind them carrying a large food box.
After entering the yard, Si Jin shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mom! Brother and sister-in-law are back!"
Si Sangsang, who was dozing off in the house, heard his youngest son's call and immediately stood up and walked out.
Looking at the children in the yard, the scene is really heartwarming.
She smiled and asked her eldest son and daughter-in-law with a mischievous look, "You two, coming all the way back here, was it hard on the road?"
Feng Changye remained calm, "It's hard work, but it's worth it to celebrate our Jin'er's birthday."
So, Si Jin immediately broke into a huge smile. Not only was he feeling happy, but his little tail was almost raised to the sky.
His brother really loves him the most. He is so happy!
Si Sangsang and Zhu Wuhuan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, looked at each other helplessly, and secretly despised Feng Changye's unscrupulous behavior of lying to win the heart of a child.
"Come in and sit down, Jin'er. Go pour some water for your brother and sister-in-law. The water you pour is the best."
Si Sangsang orders Si Jin around.
The gullible Si Jin really thought that the water he poured was the best, and happily ran to pour water for his brother and sister-in-law.
The three adults sat down in the main room, looking at each other and couldn't help laughing.
After waiting for a while, Si Jin came into the main room with tea. He handed one cup to his brother and one to his sister-in-law, then softly asked Si Sangsang, "Mom, do you want some?"
Si Sangsang shook her head, "Mom isn't thirsty, sit down and talk to brother and sister-in-law."
Si Jin sat down obediently and moved the small stool towards his brother, wanting to be next to his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
He rested his little cheek against his brother's arm, looked up at him and smiled, "Brother, didn't you say you would bring your nephews and nieces? Why didn't you bring them?"
Feng Changye flicked his forehead and said, "The journey is long, and your nephew and niece are still too young. They started crying as soon as they got on the carriage, so brother and sister-in-law didn't bring them along."
Si Jin uttered a "oh" with some regret, "Doesn't that mean I'll have to see them next time?"
Feng Changye smiled and said, "What's there to regret? You've seen them now, and they still don't know how to call me uncle. It will be much more fun next year when they can call me uncle."
Si Jin thought about it and no longer felt regretful.
Feng Changye pinched his cheek and said, "Although I didn't bring my two dolls, I brought you another doll. Do you want to see it?"
As he spoke, he gestured to Zhu Wuhuan to put the lunch box on the table.
Si Jin looked at the big food box and his eyes lit up!
"Wow! Is this the gift my brother prepared for me? What kind of doll is inside? Is it a porcelain doll, a wooden doll, or a cloth doll?"
"Well, it is indeed a gift prepared for you. Can you open it yourself and take a look?"
Feng Changye held back his laughter, patted Si Jin's head and said.
"OK!"
Si Jin jumped up happily, then jumped onto the bench and tried hard to open the lid of the lunch box.
Seeing him being unaware of the dangers of the world, the three adults couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Don't blink, don't miss any of his expressions.
Will he cry out in disappointment, or scream and laugh with joy?
Under the expectation of the three people, Si Jin used his chubby little hands to try very hard to open the lid of the food box.
When the lid was removed, revealing the baby sleeping soundly inside, Si Jin was stunned.
Such a lifelike doll?
He looked at his brother and sister-in-law suspiciously, then suddenly crouched down, holding the edge of the food box, and carefully put his head close to the doll to take a closer look.
After staring at it for a few seconds without blinking, he tentatively stretched out his little finger and poked the baby's cheek.
Just poke it lightly...
"Ah, his face is hot!"
Poke it again...
"Ahhh, he opened his eyes, ahhh, he's alive!"
Si Jin's screams resounded throughout the main room. He was so frightened that he immediately retracted his little hand and almost fell off the stool.
After finally steadying himself, he looked up and found that his brother, sister-in-law and mother were all laughing!
He blinked blankly, then pouted, looking a little angry. "You guys are so mean, you're deliberately making fun of me..."
Feng Changye smiled and patted his little head, "It's not that we are bad. We didn't say that this doll is not alive, did we? You are just overthinking it."
Si Jin thought about it and it seemed so.
My brother didn't say anything, he just thought it was a doll given to him to play with.
He pouted and got angry with himself, then lay down on the food box again and looked down at the tiny, soft baby inside.
"He's so small. Who is he? Why did you bring him to our house?"
He asked his brother as he looked at the baby.
Feng Changye said, "This is also your nephew, your second brother's son—"
While Si Jin had a confused expression on his face, as if to say, "How come I didn't know I had a second brother?", Feng Changye and Si Sangsang told him about the legendary second brother without changing their expressions.
