Chapter 1028: Big Brother is the Closest
On February 26th, the twins turned one year old.
Because he missed Daozi's first birthday, Xiao Yeyang was fully responsible for the twins' one-year-old ceremony.
The twins, dressed in bright red clothes, were brought to the table for the "Zhuazhou" ceremony, and immediately attracted the attention of the guests.
The two little babies were taken care of so well, they were white, plump, and delicate as jade, and their big black eyes could melt people's hearts when they looked at them.
The two little ones were not afraid of being surrounded by so many people. The elder sister Daomang stood up tremblingly and clapped her hands. The silver bells on her wrists suddenly made a pleasant sound, which made people very surprised.
My younger brother Dao Miao was much more calm, sitting steadily on the table. When someone teased him, he would smile back out of courtesy. However, the smile would only last for a moment, and then disappear like he was changing his face.
Seeing this, the guests couldn't stop laughing.
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang stood on both sides of the table, smiling and encouraging the two little ones to take the items on the table.
The two little guys looked at the items on the table, then looked at their parents, and laughed, but they didn't grab the items.
After waiting for a while, Daozi could no longer sit still. She came out of Gu Jian's arms, stood beside the table, pointed at the big red rouge box and said to Daomang, "Sister, grab this."
When Daomang saw his brother, he immediately started babbling.
"Sister, grab this." Daozi pointed at the rouge box again and said.
Daomang gave his brother a lot of face. He grinned and grabbed the rouge box and handed it to Daozi.
Daozi happily took the rouge box and said, "Brother, I'll keep it for you."
When Dao Mang saw that his brother had accepted it, he laughed, then picked up a piece of cake from the plate on the table and started eating it by himself.
Seeing this, Daohua couldn't help laughing and said, "What a little foodie!"
The guests nearby were asking Daozi, "Young Prince, why did you let your sister grab the rouge box?"
The rice replied, "Because my sister must look beautiful every day in the future." Then she looked at the rice seedlings who were sitting still.
My younger brother is not very smart. He always likes to daydream and will only move when someone urges him.
"Brother, grab this."
Daozi pointed at a palm-sized jade ruyi and said to the rice seedlings.
Usually, Daozi and the twins often play the game of finding toys. Basically, whatever Daozi hides, the twins will find it.
So, the rice seedling took the jade ruyi out of courtesy and put it into the rice seedling's arms.
Daozi put the rice into his pocket with a smile, and the guest next to him said with a smile: "Jade Ruyi, it brings happiness and good luck. In the future, the young master will surely be able to have everything go smoothly."
"The young prince has become like an older brother now."
"Your Highness and Princess are so blessed to have three such lovely children."
The adults said pleasant things while Daozi gathered the things on the table and started playing with the twins one by one.
Daozi received praise from the guests at the "Zhuazhou" ceremony and became an even better brother. Apart from studying at the academy, he would play with the twins whenever he had time.
"Mom, my classmates said that their brothers and sisters can speak after they turn one year old, so why haven't Rice Mang and Rice Seedling started talking yet?"
Daohua: "Every child starts talking at a different time. If you want your younger siblings to start talking sooner, talk to them more often."
Daozi looked at the twins with some worry: "Is there something wrong with the rice seedlings?"
"." The twins blinked their innocent eyes and looked at their brother in confusion.
Daohua rolled her eyes speechlessly: "You just bully them because they can't speak. Otherwise, if I have to fight back, you're the one with the problem!"
After the twins started learning to walk, they spent most of the day in Nanshan Hall under the care of Gu Jian. This allowed Daohua to have time to handle affairs, and it also gave Gu Jian something to do.
Gu Jian is not young anymore, and going to the pharmacy to see patients is just to keep himself busy, but taking care of the children can satisfy him physically and mentally.
After starting to take care of the twins, although Gu Jian had to spend a lot of energy every day, he became more and more energetic and his mood became better and better.
"Rice seedlings, call me ancestor."
"Daomang, come, call me ancestor."
One day, Daozi came back from school and just arrived at the gate of Nanshan Hall, he saw Gu Jian holding a piece of cake and coaxing his younger brother and sister to talk.
When Daozi saw this, he hurried over, took out the candy man he had bought on the way back, let his younger brother and sister lick it, and then coaxed the twins like a fox.
"Call me brother, call me brother, and I'll give you food."
Dao Miao looked at the sugar man, and although crystal liquid flowed from the corner of her mouth, she still leaned motionless in Gu Jian's arms.
But Dao Mang refused to give in. He took trembling steps with his short legs and pounced on the rice, stretching out his hands to reach the candy man.
Daozi held the sugar man high up and said, "Call me brother."
Unable to eat the candy man, Dao Mang became anxious and cried out "Ahhh".
Although he didn't give the rice to her, he still held it high to tease his sister.
Dao Mang curled his lips, looking like he was about to cry.
Just when the rice was hesitating whether to give up, the rice awn called out "brother" in a soft and sticky voice.
This stunned Daozi, and even Gu Jian looked surprised.
After coming to his senses, Daozi was full of joy: "Ancestor, my sister is calling me." As he said that, he hurriedly put the sugar man in his hand to Daomang's mouth and asked her to lick it.
When Dao Miao saw that Dao Mang had food, he could no longer sit still and twisted his body to ask Gu Jian to take him over.
Gu Jian bent down, clamped the rice seedlings' armpits, and brought the person to the rice stalks.
Before anyone got close, the rice seedlings opened their mouths, as if asking their brother to feed them.
Daozi didn't give it to him immediately, but continued to coax him: "Call me brother."
The rice seedlings uttered "ah ah" twice and waved their arms.
Daozi ignored him and looked at Daomang again. He licked the sugar man for her again and said, "Call me brother."
"elder brother!"
Daomang's second opening was much smoother than the first.
Daozi narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking at Daomiao: "Call me brother."
The rice seedling looked at the rice, then at the rice awns, and finally looked up at Gu Jian, and then reluctantly said: "Brother~"
“Oh~”
Hearing the rice seedlings' cries, Daozi jumped up happily and handed the candy man to Gu Jian: "Grandpa, you feed my brothers and sisters. I'll go tell mother that my brothers and sisters have called me."
Watching Daozi disappear in a flash, Gu Jian smiled and shook his head. Then he looked at the twins and laughed, "Your parents must be jealous. Other children call you dad and mom first, but you are the first to call me brother."
The twins took turns licking the candy man, both with satisfied looks on their faces. When they heard Gu Jian's words, they gave him a toothless smile.
At dinner that day, under the envious gaze of Daohua, Xiao Yeyang and Gu Jian, Daomang and Daomiao called Daozi "brother".
Daozi laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared, and she diligently fed the two little ones egg custard.
Look, he surpasses both his parents, and his younger brothers and sisters like him the most.
After you open your mouth for the first time, it will be much easier to open it again.
Thanks to the efforts of Daohua, Xiao Yeyang and Gu Jian, after a while, the twins could call their parents and ancestors "dad".
As April began, the number of merchants traveling to and from Xiliang increased significantly. On the fifth day of April, the doorman handed over a note from the Li family.
Seeing the post, Daohua was actually a little happy: "Could it be that my second uncle is coming to Xiliang again?"
After opening the post, I found out that it was Li's son-in-law Fang Liangji.
Needless to say, Xiliang has opened up trade, and the Fang family also wants to get a piece of the pie.
