"Tangtang!"
"Auntie, it's alright. Tangtang is trying to protect me. I also need Tangtang's protection."
Upon hearing this, Chi Tang's eyes curved into crescent moons with laughter, and she proudly put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest!
She's forgotten she's sitting on Huo Chenyi's neck!
After a series of movements, he fell backward!
Fortunately, Aunt Chi caught it quickly. She was so angry that she slapped her daughter twice and scolded her sternly, "Don't you dare sit on other people's shoulders again! I'll hit you every time I see you doing it!"
"Wow! Honey, quick, save me!"
Chi Tang's sweet, childlike voice immediately rang out like a little bamboo whistle.
Huo Chenyi didn't disappoint her and immediately went over to snatch Chi Tang back: "Auntie, I will take good care of Tangtang."
Helpless, Aunt Chi smiled politely at Prince Anping twice before turning and going back.
As soon as they entered the house, Sister-in-law Chi and the others grabbed Aunt Chi and started asking her questions.
In the courtyard.
Prince Anping felt very relieved looking at his nephew who was inseparable from the baby.
“When your mother wrote to me saying that you were very happy and no longer the quiet and withdrawn person you used to be, I was a little skeptical. But now that I see it, it’s great.”
"Um."
Huo Chenyi hummed in response.
The chubby baby in her arms stared intently at Prince Anping outside with wide eyes, then looked up at his wife.
"Huh!"
Prince Anping was drawn to the chubby little girl and squatted down to look her in the eye: "Your name is Tangtang, right?"
"Yes!"
"So what are you looking at?"
"You and your wife... smell so good!"
Chi Tang shook his head, looking left and right and thinking that his wife looked just like his uncle!
She had never met Huo Minglang and didn't know whether her daughter-in-law looked like her uncle or her father; in any case, she didn't look much like the princess.
Prince Anping paused for a moment, a glint in his eyes. When he smiled, he seemed much gentler.
"Haha, indeed. It's quite common for nephews to resemble their uncles."
Huo Chenyi's reaction was...
"It seems like it! It doesn't smell good. Come on, say it, it seems like it!"
Huo Chenyi carefully corrected Chi Tang's pronunciation.
Tangtang has been speaking much more clearly lately, but she still doesn't quite know where to place the stress.
Chi Tang: ...
"Hahaha."
Amused, Prince Anping found a stool and sat down in the courtyard with Huo Chenyi.
However, Huo Chenyi stood up as soon as he sat down.
"Let's go inside and sit down, it's cold outside."
Tangtang has been outside for quite a while; it's time for her to go back inside.
Prince Anping didn't say anything and followed his nephew back to the small room in the center.
The room was warm and cozy, not at all colder than a room with a charcoal fire burning.
As if guessing what he was thinking, Huo Chenyi said gently, "My aunt was worried that I was weak, so the fire in the stove was burning from morning till night."
He explained with a smile as he took off Chi Tang's cotton-padded coat.
He knew that. In the countryside, even if people light fires for warmth during the day, they don't keep them burning from morning till night.
It was all for him.
Uncle also went up the mountain to bring back a lot of wood, and Little Fifth Brother would also bring back a lot of firewood when he went up the mountain to play.
Prince Anping nodded and pulled out a chair to sit down.
The room was small, with a slightly narrow kang (a heated brick bed) covered with a thick, light blue quilt. The quilt was soft and clearly had a lot of cotton filling.
There was also a table on the kang (a heated brick bed), with several books and writing implements on it.
On the table in the corner sat a large, narrow-mouthed porcelain jar with a cracked top. It was crudely made and had seven or eight plum blossoms blooming wildly in it.
Prince Anping was taken aback, clearly not expecting his nephew to have such leisure time.
Huo Chenyi followed the gaze, his lips twitching, a mixture of helplessness and doting: "Yesterday, Xiao Suotou and the others picked some plum blossoms and brought them back. Tangtang insisted on putting them in this broken jar and placing it in my room."
"Must" and "Broken pot".
It sounds like you're disgusted by it.
But the doting look on his lips and the tenderness in his eyes were undeniable.
"nice!"
Chi Tang said loudly.
How could there be a problem with one's own aesthetic sense?
The blooming plum blossoms and the dilapidated jar surprisingly create a sense of beauty.
Just like plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter.
Resilient and unyielding!
No matter how turbulent the environment, it still faces the sun and blooms with vitality.
Prince Anping agreed: "Tangtang is very capable and beautiful."
"whee."
Chi Tang smiled happily.
While quietly taking off his little socks, he said, "My wife is beautiful! The flowers are pretty too, you bastard wife!"
Helpless, Huo Chenyi took out a handkerchief to wipe the drool from his face and corrected his pronunciation: "Beautiful! Deserves it!"
Bah!
He sprayed saliva all over his face.
After saying that, he put the socks back on and threatened Chi Tang with a serious expression: "If you take off your socks again, you're not allowed to eat any fruit today!"
What time is it now?
It's the eleventh month!
They even dare to take off their socks so casually!
"snort!"
Chi Tang pouted.
"I thought having more people around meant I'd be cared for. But then again, it's all over!"
Barbie Q is here!
Chi Tang shrugged like a little adult, while the chubby boy almost dropped his hands in frustration.
Seeing Chi Tang's quirky and clever appearance, Prince Anping couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This child is such a joy!
