Chapter 5 Mother, are you dreaming?
"Su Bao...can you eat a whole meat bun by yourself? Or, half a bun is fine. Su Bao is still small and doesn't eat much!"
Her soft, cute voice carried a hint of nervousness and anticipation, and her little hands unconsciously gripped her clothes tightly.
Qian pretended not to see anything and nudged the baby with her head with a smile.
"Of course! Mom will make you pork and sauerkraut buns, they'll be so delicious you'll forget your own name!"
Qian quickly got up and continued to prepare the filling.
Looking at the little baby sitting on the stool, Qian's eyes held a hint of tenderness.
"Thank you, Mother..."
The little girl blushed, a little embarrassed. She tilted her head and looked at Madam Qian with a serious expression, saying, "I will definitely remember that my surname is Tang!"
Ms. Qian's heart melted at her adorable appearance, and she turned to look at Little Su Bao and smiled.
Little Su Bao smiled gently at Qian Shi, and the two seemed surprisingly harmonious at that moment.
"Mother, I'm back!" A clear voice came from outside.
Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, Su Bao instinctively trembled, her little bottom sitting there, too nervous to move.
When Qian saw her like this, she felt a pang of heartache. She looked up and glanced outside, only to see her second son carrying a water jug and running into the house.
Madam Qian glared at him angrily and yelled, "You're back, so why are you shouting like that? Look at how scared you've made your sister!"
After Qian finished speaking, she explained to Xiao Su Bao, but the little girl was still a bit nervous. She looked towards the door, as if she had a feeling that a ferocious beast was about to attack.
"What little sister? Mother, you must be dreaming..." A voice came from the doorway, and Xiao Su Bao's back stiffened, not daring to move.
Tang Lao Er, Tang Qi, strode in, put the kettle aside, and looked at Xiao Su Bao sitting under the stove.
By the sunlight streaming through the window, Tang Lao Er saw the little baby wearing his own mother's clothes. The baby was thin and small, with skinny arms and legs, looking like it could be crushed with a pinch.
The little girl is very pretty, but she's a bit too thin. She'll need to be fattened up a bit in the future.
wrong!
Why do I think like this?
Although the little girl is very pretty, she's not from our family!
Thinking about it, it feels a little regrettable!
Tang Lao Er sighed, but still couldn't help taking a few more glances at Xiao Su Bao.
Especially now, with her big, bright eyes looking at him, she looked so soft and adorable.
Tang Lao Er felt that this was exactly the same as the sister in his dream.
"Mother...this little sister is so beautiful...just like in the painting...where did you steal her from?" Tang Lao Er couldn't help but ask his mother.
His mother's temper was like a wild horse; it wouldn't be impossible for her to steal the child back...
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is my daughter, of course she's the prettiest."
"And what are you saying? How can you say it was stolen? Su Bao will be your own sister from now on, you know that!" Madam Qian wiped her hands and rolled her eyes at her second son.
After placing the kneaded dough in a large bowl to rest, Qian felt a pang of heartache when she saw that the little girl was silent again.
She walked up to Xiao Su Bao and reached out to pull the little girl into her arms.
He smiled gently at the little girl, then turned to introduce his second son.
"Don't be afraid, Su Bao. This is your second brother, Tang Qi. He's a real troublemaker, and he's hunting in the mountains with the village hunters now!"
Tang Qi stared at his own mother, and was immediately stunned.
Huh...
Is this still his fierce, shrewish mother who could kill a wolf?
What's with that gentle expression on his face?
Tang Qi was dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at his own mother.
Mother, I'm afraid you've contracted some serious illness!
Tang Qi was about to express his concern for his mother when he heard her say, "It's been half a year, and he hasn't even brought back an ant!"
"mother……"
Upon hearing his mother's words, Tang Qi immediately became anxious.
How could this mother expose her own shortcomings in front of the new sister-in-law? She clearly brought back a wild rabbit last time!
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Madam Qian glanced at her second son, her disdain evident in her expression.
Tang Qi squatted down in front of Su Bao with a wronged look on his face, and muttered somewhat unwillingly, "But I also brought back a wild rabbit!"
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up; the little bunny was so cute!
Braised is delicious, and roasted is also very tasty!
Mrs. Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes: "How dare you say that! Is that a rabbit? That's clearly a baby mouse..."
"Pfft..." Little Su Bao couldn't help but squint and laugh when she heard this.
Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, and his heart melted at the sight of Xiao Su Bao's sweet appearance!
It’s over…
He realized he wanted a daughter too!
"Will this little girl really stay with our family from now on?" Tang Qi asked, still somewhat surprised.
“Yes, this child’s parents died and she was left at the village entrance. Alright, don’t ask so many questions. Just ask, Su Bao is my daughter now!” Qian said to her son while kneading the dough.
Upon hearing this, Tang Qi immediately felt sorry for Su Bao.
His own foolish son could drive him crazy every day, but he still couldn't bear to throw him out.
What kind of family would abandon such an adorable child like Xiao Su Bao?
The big hand reached out, wanting to pat Su Bao's head, but the little baby was like a quail, refusing to show his head.
"Mother, you're already so old, it's not good for you to have a daughter. How about letting Su Bao be my daughter instead!" Tang Qi turned his head and said to his mother with a smile.
Qian's eyelids twitched, she grabbed a fire poker, and without saying a word, she slapped her son's buttocks twice!
That brat actually dared to make a move on his own daughter! He really deserves to be taught a lesson!
"I said she's your sister, so she's your sister. If you dare to covet my daughter again, I'll kick you out!" Madam Qian glared at Tang Qi and said with great disdain.
"Mother, am I still your own son?!"
Tang Qi squatted down in front of Su Bao, looking at them with a pitiful expression.
"uncertain!"
Madam Qian glared at Tang Qi with annoyance, then gently placed the little baby in his arms.
"You hold Su Bao and tend the fire while I cook. If you keep whining, don't blame me for punishing you!"
After saying this, Ms. Qian gave her son a warning look, as if he really wasn't her biological son.
Tang Qi, holding the little girl in his arms, grinned broadly.
He was no longer angry at Qian for talking about him, and looked at Xiao Su Bao with a smile on his face.
Little Su Bao was startled. Her body tensed up, her eyes widened, and her little hands clenched together, making her look extremely pitiful.
Tang Qi, being a father himself, said gently, "Your name is Su Bao? That's a wonderful name! From now on, I'll be your second older brother. Call me 'Second Brother'!"
Little Su Bao looked at Tang Qi timidly. This older brother seemed pretty good. She took a deep breath and called out in her childish voice, "Second brother~"
