Chapter 43



After the door opened, Jinbao was the first to rush in, followed by the guards carrying boxes of things.

Seeing the six large wooden boxes piled in the yard, Lu Changge's face became even gloomier.

[Oh my god! Is this guy serious?!] Nido also got angry when he saw this.

Er Teng's words successfully added a spoonful of oil to the fire in his master's heart.

The more it burns, the better it burns.

Tuanzi, seeing the guard brother moving in so many things, ran over excitedly.

"Wow! Brother Jinbao, are these all for Tuanzi?" Tuanzi reached out and touched the big wooden box, then turned around and asked happily.

"Yes! I spent a long time picking them." As he said that, Jin Bao signaled the guards beside him to open all the wooden boxes.

The first box contained various toys for children.

There are four different materials: wood, jade, gold and silver.

The second box contained various clothes for children aged two or three.

There are various colors and accessories.

The third box contained fabric.

"Uncle Lu, this is a gift for my younger brother Erbao. This fabric is the softest and is perfect for making clothes for him." Jinbao said, pointing to the third box.

When Su Qingyun heard it, he walked over to take a few looks and even reached out to touch it.

"It's obvious that this fabric is not cheap. Jinbao, where did you get it from?" Su Qingyun turned around and looked at Jinbao.

"Ah...I brought it from home." Jin Bao laughed and tried to avoid the topic.

"Really? Good children shouldn't lie to adults." Su Qingyun looked at him and said with a smile.

Seeing Tuanzi looking at him, Jinbao's face gradually turned red.

"I...I took it out from my father's warehouse. I only took a little! My father has a lot more!"

Jinbao explained hurriedly.

"You can't just take a little bit." Su Qingyun shook his head and said, "Don't look at the rest. Take them all back. They are too valuable."

"Ah?" Jin Bao exclaimed, but his mind worked quickly and he quickly figured out what Uncle Lu meant.

"Except for the cloth, everything else was prepared by my father and mother."

"Take it back." Lu Changge on the side suddenly said.

Seeing that daddy and mum asked brother Jinbao to take the things back, Tuanzi also understood that he couldn't keep them.

"Brother Jinbao, take it back."

Seeing Tuanzi also say this, Jinbao was even more confused.

"Why? I just want to give you some gifts, can't I?"

The eunuch beside him also reacted and quickly explained, "These are our master and the master's gift to you. What the young master said before was just a joke between children. You don't have to take it seriously."

It's also the young prince's fault for talking about a betrothal gift before, but look, the couple now don't even dare to accept the gift.

"What did I say before?" Jin Bao looked puzzled. What kind of nonsense are they talking about?

Even so, Su Qingyun and Lu Changge still didn't want to accept it.

But after the eunuchs and guards put down their things, they left without stopping, and Lu Changge had no idea where they lived.

In the end, these things remained.

Of these six boxes, two were for Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin's families, and the remaining four were given to Tuanzi's family.

Among them, there were two boxes for Tuanzi, one box for Lu Changge and Su Qingyun, and one box for Erbao.

The eunuchs and guards left, but Jinbao did not follow them.

Jinbao was playing with Tuanzi and the others in the yard, while Lu Changge was sitting beside them, staring at them expressionlessly.

Su Qingyun was amused by her husband's behavior and took a chair over to sit down.

Lu Changge tilted his head, then picked up Erbao.

"It's just a kid's joke, why do you still take it seriously after all this time?"

"We must take precautions against wolves as early as possible." Lu Changge said seriously.

"Ah!" The second baby in Lu Changge's arms babbled, and seemed to agree with his father's words.

At noon, Jinbao stayed again to have a free meal.

Having eaten the long-overdue meal again, Jinbao immediately ate three bowls of rice.

In the eyes of Lu Changge, who disliked him, he was undoubtedly a good-for-nothing.

"Uncle, your cooking is still delicious!" After eating and drinking, Jin Bao praised sincerely.

Lu Changge didn't respond. He just gave him a look and packed up the dishes and left.

"Tuanzi, what's wrong with your father? I feel like he's a little unhappy today." Jinbao asked puzzledly.

"Really?" Tuanzi pursed his face. Daddy has always been like this. Does he still differentiate between happy and unhappy?

After hearing what Tuanzi said, Jinbao put the matter behind him.

Before dinner, Jinbao's uncle finally came over.

He nodded to Lu Changge and Su Qingyun as a greeting, then took the gold treasure away.

"Put me down! I can walk by myself!" Jin Bao, who was being carried, blushed and struggled to get down.

"If you move again, I won't be responsible if you fall down." The young man sneered.

Hearing his uncle's threat, Jin Bao immediately became obedient, but he was still stubborn.

"I'm going to tell my father that you bullied me!"

"So tell me, does he believe me or you?"

Jin Bao: “…”

That’s too much!

The next day, Jinbao came to report on time again.

Lu Changge and Li Tugen were going to the inner city today and they didn't have time to keep an eye on Jin Bao, so they asked Er Teng to follow him.

After Uncle Lu left, Jinbao felt more at ease and took Tuanzi and the others to play in the yard.

The three plots of land in the yard were no longer used to grow vegetables; the soil was completely dry, without a trace of moisture.

After breakfast, the kids played with their little wooden shovels and dug holes.

But Tuanzi likes to be clean, and even when playing in the dirt, he didn't get his clothes dirty.

Goudan and his friends were probably warned by their older brothers and sisters that there was not much water at home for washing clothes, so they did not dare to get their clothes dirty.

When playing, he even rolled up his sleeves.

Erhei is more playful than Dahei, so he also came over when he saw this.

It is now May and my second baby is six months old.

At this time, the second baby can already roll over and can sit alone for a short while.

The sun is not very bright in the morning.

Usually at this time, Su Qingyun and Lu Changge would take their second baby out to bask in the sun.

Su Qingyun took out the bamboo mat, spread it out, and then put Erbao on it.

Seeing her father carrying her younger brother out, Tuanzi put down what he was holding and ran to play with his younger brother.

"Tuanzi, go wash your hands first."

"Oh!" Tuanzi responded, washed his hands and ran back to find his brother.

"Brother!" Tuanzi lay beside his brother and grinned foolishly.

"Ahh..." Erbao grinned and made an "ahhh" sound when he saw his brother.

Then, the second baby turned over very easily, from lying on his back to lying on his side.

She even stretched out her little hands to grab her brother's clothes.

Su Qingyun took out Erbao's toy. Erbao saw it at the first sight, stared at it, and stretched out his hand to express that he wanted it.

Su Qingyun put the toy down, then picked up Erbao and let him sit by himself for a while.

"Brother, do you want it?" Tuanzi put a building block in front of his brother and said with a smile.

“Aaaaaah…”

Erbao stretched out his hands, making grasping movements with both hands.

When his younger brother caught the building blocks, Tuanzi let go.

The second baby was very happy to get the toy, babbling in baby talk that they couldn't understand.

Jinbao and Goudan, who had already washed their hands, also ran over and lay on the bamboo mat to play with their younger brother Erbao.

Jinbao might be a little naughty and always tries to snatch Erbao's building blocks, then returns them when Erbao is about to cry.

After one or two times, Tuanzi pushed Jinbao aside with a stern face, not letting him get close to his brother.

"Don't bully your little brother!"

"I didn't bully him. I just wanted to tease him."

Hearing what he said, Tuanzi snorted and ignored him.

Seeing that Tuanzi was really angry, Jinbao quickly apologized.

He also made all kinds of funny movements to make his younger brother laugh.

Finally, Tuanzi was coaxed into submission.

Just when they were having fun, there was a knock on the door.

“I am here.”

Grandpa Li, who was closer to the gate, hurried over and opened the door.

When I opened the door, I saw an unfamiliar woman. She was a bit older, but her face was covered in thick rouge and powder.

"Who are you? What's the matter?" Grandpa Li asked puzzledly.

"Master, just call me Matchmaker Xu. Is Master Lu here? Someone asked me to be a matchmaker for Master Lu." Matchmaker Xu said with a smile, and poked her head to look inside.

"Matchmaking?" Upon hearing this, Grandpa Li frowned.

"You may have come to the wrong place. There is indeed someone named Lu here, but he is married and has two children."

"You've found the wrong place. I'm closing the shop now."

As he spoke, Grandpa Li took a step back and prepared to close the door.

"That's right! The Mr. Lu I'm looking for is called Lu Changge, and he lives here!" Matchmaker Xu quickly stretched out her hand to stop him from closing the door.

Hearing the name, Grandpa Li hesitated for a moment.

"Am I right?" Matchmaker Xu said with a smile, "I have been matchmaking for more than ten years. How could I have made a mistake?"

"He's out. Wait until he comes back." Grandpa Li reacted and stood at the door with a stern face, refusing to let her in.

You're already married and have children, yet you still come to act as a matchmaker? Who are you trying to annoy?

"It's okay to go out. Isn't Mr. Lu at home? You can let me in and chat with Mr. Lu." Matchmaker Xu said with a smile.

"I've told you that they're married and have children, but you don't understand what I'm saying?! Or is it that the girl or guy who asked you to come here to act as a matchmaker is so shameless that they had to interfere with the couple's happy life?" Grandpa Li got angry and cursed loudly.

Grandpa Li's scolding was full of anger and everyone in the yard heard it.

It had been a long time since she had been scolded, and the smile on Matchmaker Xu's face was a little hard to maintain.

"Uncle Li, who's here?" Su Qingyun, who was playing with the children in the yard, asked.

"It's okay, nobody matters."

"Grandpa Li, what's wrong?" Li Xiaomin came out of the small kitchen next door, walked over and asked.

"Someone asked a matchmaker to come and propose marriage to your Uncle Lu." Grandpa Li said with some disgust.

Hearing what Grandpa Li said, the first person that came to Li Xiaomin's mind was the girl in white who had argued with her more than a month ago.

But she hasn't shown up for such a long time, so Li Xiaomin thought about it and decided to rule her out.

"Is that person a boy or a girl?" Li Xiaomin asked with a frown.

"She is an eighteen-year-old girl. Although she is a little old, she is good-looking, virtuous, and good at needlework..."

"Stop!" Li Xiaomin shouted impatiently.

"No matter how old the girl is, I tell you very clearly that my uncle Lu has no plans to take a concubine. Please go back."

"That's right. How can a little girl like you know what's in a man's mind?" Matchmaker Xu looked at Li Xiaomin and smiled with an expression that said 'you are still young and don't understand'.

"I don't need to know what other men are thinking. I only know that Uncle Lu will not take a concubine. Go back and tell that girl to let her give up." Li Xiaomin sneered.

"Little girl, you don't have the final say in this matter. How about letting me go in and talk to Mr. Lu?" Matchmaker Xu still refused to give up.

If this matchmaking fails, then Xu's reputation as the best matchmaker in Jincheng will be ruined.

Moreover, she really didn't believe that Lu Changge had no intention of taking a concubine.

"Where does that girl live?" Li Xiaomin suddenly asked.

"What a coincidence! The girl lives in the house opposite yours." Matchmaker Xu thought she had figured it out, so she turned around and pointed to the yard opposite, saying with a smile.

"I knew it!" Li Xiaomin sighed.

"Xiao Min, do you know that girl?" Grandpa Li looked at her and asked.

Seeing Grandpa Li asking this, Li Xiaomin briefly told him what happened more than a month ago.

Matchmaker Xu, who was standing by, laughed and said, "This is fate."

"What the hell is fate!"

In the yard, Su Qingyun saw Uncle Li and Li Xiaomin standing at the gate for a long time, and seemed to be arguing with someone.

So he got up and walked over.

"Xiao Min, Uncle Li, who are you talking to? You've been talking for so long..."
