The cubs have no idea that their family has an ancestral home and a shrine.
He nodded, and Si Yeguang then instructed the driver to change direction and turn around to head towards the ancestral home.
Although no one lives in the Si family's ancestral home on ordinary days, they always hire people to maintain and clean it, so you can move in directly upon arrival.
Although the young boy had seen more luxurious and magnificent Chinese buildings than this, he had never seen one so full of worldly atmosphere. In the faint scent of incense, everything inside was a replica of the way the Si family ancestors had lived and passed down through generations. It was the most ordinary warmth in the secular world, and also the ancestral precepts passed down from generation to generation.
Before the cub could be led inside by Si Yeguang, Si Qiannan followed from behind.
So Si Yeguang stopped too, and he turned to look at Si Qiannan, as if he was waiting for him.
After Si Qiannan came over, Si Yeguang had Si Qiannan take the cub's hand. Si Yeguang then walked in front, with the father leading the cub behind, and they entered the house in order of seniority.
The first thing to do after entering is to go to the ancestral hall, kneel down and offer incense to the ancestors.
"Baby, your ancestors will bless you with health, safety, and freedom from illness and disaster."
The cub nodded as if it understood, and kowtowed and bowed to the memorial tablets on the table.
After the ceremony, the group settled in the ancestral home. The baby seemed to sense that his father and grandfather were still waiting for someone, so he behaved himself and sat quietly in his father's lap eating pastries.
The baby was so well-behaved that even the housekeeper guarding the ancestral home loved him. He couldn't resist taking a new toy to amuse him. The baby glanced at his father, and only when his father agreed did the baby reach out to take it.
Seeing this, Si Yeguang said with some dissatisfaction:
"Who told you to discipline the kid like that? He's still so young, it's not a problem for a child to be a little spoiled!"
Si Qiannan seemed to have completely forgotten how she used to spoil her cubs, and even said to Si Yeguang in a righteous tone:
"Spoiling him too much will only make him develop a bad temper. Children need to be disciplined!"
"So what if I spoil him!" Si Yeguang immediately hugged the cub again, as if the cub was his own child. "I'm going to spoil him! Let's see if you, Si Qiannan, dare to go against me."
Si Qiannan:......
The butler standing nearby couldn't help but think: Mr. Si, you've already been spoiling him.
Si Yeguang waited a while longer, but he couldn't wait any longer. Since his nephews and nieces wouldn't be back anytime soon, Si Yeguang took the cub directly to the back storeroom, where there were many treasures passed down from the Si family. Si Yeguang told the cub to choose whatever it wanted.
Seeing this, Si Qiannan couldn't help but say, "He's still young and doesn't understand the value of these things. Why are you giving them to him so early? Aren't you afraid he'll use one or two artifacts to fill his mud bag or play house?"
Si Yeguang: "I want to give it to Zai Zai. I am now the eldest elder in the Si family, and I am willing!"
As Si Yeguang spoke, he turned to ask about the cub's birth date and time, but unfortunately Si Qiannan didn't know. He could only tell her the time when he found the cub.
Si Yeguang cast a divination and his gaze toward the cub became even more benevolent.
“Good, good, good,” Si Yeguang said three times in a row. “This birth chart is so good. It will bring you good fortune and bring good fortune to the Si family. Your original fate of being a jinxed star has been ruined by your son.”
Si Qiannan originally didn't care about these fortune-telling methods, but when he heard Si Yeguang say this, his heart stirred, and he looked at the cub dressed in gold and silver by his grandfather.
The emotion that Si Qiannan felt was shattered when she saw the jade, silver, and gold bracelets on the cub's wrist.
Si Qiannan fell silent.
It's true that the family's aesthetic sense is consistent.
Si Qiannan silently removed the bracelets from the cub's wrists one by one. Si Yeguang was about to start scolding again when Si Qiannan quickly explained:
“It’s inconvenient for him to carry it around, and it would be bad if he hurt his hand. I’ll go back and put it away for him.”
Si Yeguang then fell silent.
Well, now everyone, whether human or dog, has to step aside; nothing compares to Si Yeguang's grandson, Jin Gui.
The young boy thought that the pampering from his elders should end here, after all, his grandfather had been very, very good to him. But he didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
People drove back to the ancestral home one after another. Perhaps it was just the Si family's genes; regardless of gender, those who returned were all equally serious and reserved, tall and imposing, looking like the family's dream team.
The cubs are like the only outlier in a pack of wolves, like a little omega in an alpha family.
He stared blankly as a group of handsome men and beautiful women, all dressed in black and gray, slowly walked in through the door, their bodyguards silently holding large, dark umbrellas over them.
They don't seem to have come back to pay respects to their ancestors; they seem to have come to go on a shopping spree.
The cub was so frightened that it turned around and hid behind Si Qiannan, only peeking out with one eye to watch them.
They watched as the menacing Si family members entered and offered incense.
After completing the homecoming procedures, they turned around and stared intently at Si Yeguang:
"Grandpa, where's the baby?"
When they asked about the cub, the cub couldn't help but tremble. It gripped its father's clothes even tighter with its little hands, and curiously poked half its head out. Before their gaze could shift, it shrank back, almost hiding its entire body under its father's long legs.
Si Qiannan: "Baby, you're not a little penguin, don't hide under Daddy."
Upon hearing Si Qiannan's words, they lowered their heads and saw the child hiding behind Si Qiannan.
The first thing you see is a small bundle with its fluffy head nestled affectionately against Si Qiannan's lower back.
Those soft, tiny hands, like those of a newborn animal, clung tightly to the hem of her father's clothes, so fragile yet incredibly tender.
How could the Si family possibly have such a treasure?
Around the age of five or six, the Si family children reached the peak of their mischievousness. Si Qiannan had little emotion and simply followed the rules, but she always failed to grasp the right balance and ended up hurting her younger siblings.
The other younger siblings couldn't beat Si Qiannan and didn't dare to provoke him, so they could only fight each other to vent their anger. At a young age, they would compete with each other in combat and firearms classes. It was common for them to break a leg one day and still grab each other's hair.
Even when Si Yeguang was disciplining his nephews and nieces, they were bitten. They were like a pack of competitive wolfhounds; even if he threw a punch, they could bite right back at Si Yeguang's fist.
So who has ever seen such an adorable and cuddly child from the Si family?
For a moment, everyone forgot to speak, only gazing intently at the cub.
Si Yeguang coldly tapped the floor tile with his cane:
"Why are you staring at the child like that? Don't scare the little one!"
At this moment, several of the more obedient uncles and aunts turned their gaze away.
A few stubborn ones kept staring intently at the little head that the cub was peeking out, making the cub feel a lot of pressure.
But his father patted his head and said:
"Don't be afraid, they are all your family."
Upon hearing this word, the cub finally mustered the courage to take a small step out from behind its father, revealing not just half its face, but half its body.
