In no time, the bed was pieced together into one piece. To ensure comfort, Amei even tried her best to fill in the gaps between the three cushions and added an extra soft pillow.
Once the cushions were in place, Pei Ji immediately took the spot next to Xiao Wei, which was also relatively close to Min Yueqing.
Nowadays, as long as Min Yueqing is present, Pei Ji treats Xiao Wei quite casually, as if he really treats Xiao Wei as his good friend or younger brother.
Pei Ji brazenly lay down next to Xiao Wei, and even boldly placed an arm on Xiao Wei's back, while his little hand took the opportunity to stroke Xiao Wei's fur along with Min Yueqing's.
Unfortunately, Xiao Wei had his back to him, so he couldn't put his feet under Xiao Wei's belly to keep warm with Min Yueqing's feet.
However, Pei Ji was already very happy. He lay down properly and turned to look at Pei Han, urging, "Father, come quickly!"
Pei Han first went to get a book before taking off his shoes and getting onto the couch.
The two adults and the little one huddled together, leaning against soft pillows, reading. Only little Wei had his eyes half-closed, seemingly asleep. The family welcomed the New Year's bells in this harmonious and warm atmosphere.
As the bell rang, the three of them looked up at the same time. Min Yueqing and Pei Han smiled knowingly and planted a kiss on Pei Ji's cheek.
This was probably the sweetest double attack, making Pei Ji grin from ear to ear.
Pei Han and Min Yueqing exchanged a glance, then smiled and shared a quick kiss. Pei Ji was about to cover his mouth and chuckle when the two had already separated.
Pei Ji looked left and right, his large, black, agate-like eyes darting around.
Min Yueqing couldn't help but chuckle, and very fairly gave Xiao Wei, who was full of energy after waking up, a kiss on the forehead.
Feeling Min Yueqing's affection, Xiao Wei became excited. It rubbed its big head against Min Yueqing's face and body, its eyes sparkling with joy, and it made a contented gurgling sound in its throat.
Min Yueqing almost laughed as Xiao Wei's fur rubbed against her, and her face was covered in saliva from its licks. Finally, she couldn't resist its overly excited affection.
Min Yueqing pushed Xiao Wei's big head away and said jokingly, "Alright, alright, I've received your enthusiasm, so hurry up and calm down."
Xiao Wei tilted his head and sized up Min Yueqing for a moment, seemingly confirming something, before finally calming down.
Those secretly watching the commotion nearby were trying their best to suppress their laughter. Seeing that Min Yueqing's hair was all messed up and her face was covered in Xiao Wei's drool, Amei quickly went to pour some hot water and get a towel.
Min Yueqing washed her face and tidied her hair. Pei Han said, "Madam, it's late. We should rest now. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Min Yueqing nodded, got off the bed, and scooped up Pei Ji, who was about to put on his shoes, and walked into the inner room with Pei Han.
Xiao Wei was incredibly quick. While Min Yueqing was still putting on her shoes, it nimbly jumped off the couch and obediently squatted beside it, waiting for her. As soon as Min Yueqing took a step, it immediately waddled after her.
A tiger cub known for its agility and speed somehow managed to walk at the pace of a toddler learning to walk.
In reality, I didn't get much sleep that night, because according to the tradition of the Qian Dynasty, we had to get up early on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Although there weren't any serious activities after getting up early, this tradition was still preserved without any compromise.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, we ate steaming hot dumplings. There were two kinds of fillings: one was pork and fennel, and the other was scallop and fish. Both of them tasted very delicious.
Pei Han swallowed a dumpling and asked Min Yueqing, "Would you like to go out for a stroll at the temple fair during the day?"
Pei Han is currently on leave and has a lot of free time, so he wants to spend more time with his wife and children.
Min Yueqing readily agreed, "Great! The atmosphere outside must be so festive today. Let's take Lele and Shitou out to join in the fun."
Pei Ji and Shi Tou both grinned happily.
Pei Ji turned her head and saw Xiao Wei wandering around the room, so she asked, "Mother, where is Xiao Wei? Is Xiao Wei going?"
Min Yueqing pondered for a moment, but still felt that bringing the tiger cub along was not feasible. There were many children of all ages on the street, and if one of them, young and fearless, dared to secretly provoke her, the consequences would be unpredictable.
She could secretly transfer Xiao Wei into her space after leaving the house, and let it stay in any empty room. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about Xiao Wei running wild with Jingyuan because it hadn't seen her for too long.
Anyway, no one usually pays close attention to Xiao Wei's movements. Even Amei and Azhu keep their distance from Xiao Wei.
They're usually happy if Serena doesn't contact them, let alone take the initiative to do so.
Min Yueqing shook her head regretfully at Pei Ji, "There are too many people outside today, it's not safe to bring Xiao Wei along, so we can only leave it here to guard the house."
Pei Ji let out a disappointed "Ah," and looked at Xiao Wei with pity.
Pei Han added, "Your mother is worried that someone might provoke Xiao Wei recklessly, and that person would be in danger. You don't want to see Xiao Wei attack others either, right?"
Stone nodded in agreement. While Xiao Wei himself was quite safe going out, the pedestrians on the street might not be so safe.
Pei Ji didn't think Xiao Wei would attack people, so he really hadn't considered this point.
After being reminded by Pei Han, Pei Ji immediately gave up the idea of taking Xiao Wei to the temple fair. He couldn't help but say, "It was better when we were in Sanping County. We could take Xiao Wei with us wherever we went."
Min Yueqing and Pei Han both burst out laughing.
My little one is truly extraordinary. At such a young age, he already sees worldly pleasures as fleeting clouds. His level of understanding is exceptionally high.
After the meal, Pei Han personally led Pei Ji and Shi Tou to stretch their bodies. When it was almost time, the group boarded the carriage and left the mansion.
The streets of Du'an on the first day of the Lunar New Year are exceptionally lively. Amidst the verdant pines and cypresses, crowds throng, and both sides of the street are lined with a dazzling array of food and trinkets.
There are also musical performances and various acrobatic acts, making it a paradise for children.
Pei Ji is now eight years old, so Pei Han and Min Yueqing can no longer hold him in their arms. Besides, Pei Ji doesn't enjoy playing when he's being held.
Pei Ji and Shi Tou initially followed Min Yueqing closely and obediently, but soon they were involuntarily drawn to the various acrobatic performances and kept weaving through the crowd.
Min Yueqing kept a close eye on the two children, worried that they might run away or encounter child traffickers.
Pei Ji wore a brocade hat and a dark fox fur coat, revealing only his fair and delicate face. His clear and bright eyes sparkled with innocence and naivety, making him clearly a pampered young master.
