When Xiaoman first married into the Han family, Tian Dahua cooked for her for several years. Therefore, Tian Dahua dared to speak up in front of Xiaoman. "Yes. Mother, you must give her a good talking-to."
When Li Qiaoqiao married into the Han family, Xiaoman had already gone to the army with Han Bin. Later, Li Qiaoqiao was disciplined by Xiaoman several times. Therefore, Li Qiaoqiao both respected and feared Xiaoman. Fearing that Xiaoman didn't know why Tang Huihui had criticized her, Li Qiaoqiao said, "Second sister-in-law, my Jinbao is already married."
As soon as Xiaoman heard Tang Huihui say she was going to criticize her, she knew why Tang Huihui was going to criticize her. "Mom, Han Bin and I were just talking a few days ago about having a good talk with Tengteng."
Tang Huihui: "Not only Tengteng, but Zuozuo and Youyou are also getting on in years."
Xiaoman: "Youyou brought a woman home a few days ago." Xiaoman recounted Youyou's story.
After listening, Tang Huihui immediately said, "You and Binzi did the right thing. Although I want a granddaughter-in-law, I wouldn't dare to have one like this."
Xiaoman: "Who can argue with that? Fortunately, they haven't spent much time together yet."
Tian Dahua: "Xiaoman, you should find some good girls for Tengteng, Zuozuo, and Youyou as soon as possible. If you keep neglecting them, they might be snatched away by bad women one day."
Li Qiaoqiao: "Yes, Second Sister-in-law, Second Brother's position is higher than before, so there must be more people keeping an eye on Tengteng and the others."
Xiaoman looked at Li Qiaoqiao and said, "You're right. The higher the position, the greater the temptation. Not only Tengteng and the others, but Jinbao might also be targeted."
Tang Huihui immediately knew that Xiaoman was giving Li Qiaoqiao a warning. "Xiaoman, don't worry! Your father has already told them."
Xiaoman looked at Tang Huihui and smiled, "Mother, if it weren't for you and Father, Binzi wouldn't have been able to go this far."
Tang Huihui was delighted to hear this. "What do your father and I know?"
Xiaoman smiled. "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Our family has two treasures. That's why our family is getting better and better."
Tang Huihui's eyes almost squinted into slits as she smiled. "Your dad would be so happy if he knew you said that. You have no idea how much your dad admires you."
Xiaoman smiled. "I also admire my dad. And my older brother."
Now, Tian Dahua's eyes crinkled with a smile.
Xiaoman looked at Li Qiaoqiao. "Third brother has made a lot of progress in the past few years."
Li Qiaoqiao was a little embarrassed. "If it weren't for my father and my eldest and second brothers, he probably wouldn't even be able to support himself."
Tang Huihui was a little unhappy. "Everyone else praises their own men, why are you belittling your man to the point of worthlessness?"
"I...I..." Li Qiaoqiao wanted to say that what she said was true, but she didn't dare to.
Xiaoman: "Mom, Qiaoqiao is just being modest."
Li Qiaoqiao: "Yes. I'm too embarrassed to praise Zhuangzhuang, so... that's why I said Zhuangzhuang might not even be able to take care of himself. Mom, Zhuangzhuang has made great progress in the past few years."
Tang Huihui also knew that Han Zhuang was not as good as Han Gui and Han Bin. So Tang Huihui didn't like hearing Li Qiaoqiao say that. "Zhuangzhuang is just a late bloomer."
Li Qiaoqiao: "Yes. Mother, if I hadn't married Zhuangzhuang, my life definitely wouldn't be as good as it is now."
Xiaoman: "Mom, how were you originally planning to scold me?"
"I'm going to..." Tang Huihui repeated what she had prepared beforehand.
Li Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiaoman had changed the subject.
On the other side, Han Bin saw that Han Dashan and the others had arrived, so he said he would also invite Xiaoman's younger brother and sister.
Xiaohan and Xiaoxue both work in Beijing.
Soon, Xiaohan and Xiaoxue arrived. They were very surprised to learn that their older sister had adopted a little boy.
Xiaoman brought up what she had said to Tang Huihui.
That evening, when my older sister came home, she was very happy to see Tang Huihui and the others. "Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, I missed you all so much."
As soon as Chou Chou heard her sister's voice, she started screaming "Ah ah ah!"
Xiaoman put Chou Chou into her older sister's arms.
The ugly little face immediately blossomed into a smile. "Hehehe...hahaha..."
Han Bin looked at Han Dashan and laughed, "Look how close he is to Jie Jie?"
Han Dashan glared at Han Bin. "If my granddaughter can't get married in the future, I'll hold you accountable."
"Okay. No problem."
Han Gui, Tian Dahua, Han Zhuang, and Li Qiaoqiao stayed for five or six days before leaving.
Han Dashan and Tang Huihui stayed to help their sister look after the child. Both Han Dashan and Tang Huihui are quite old. Xiaoman didn't actually bring them over to help with childcare; she just wanted them to stay at her house for a while.
Xiaoman has now basically handed over the business to Youyou. So, usually Xiaoman and Tang Huihui watch Chou Chou together.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
That year, Xiaoman also asked someone to introduce several potential partners to Tengteng, Zuozuo, and Youyou. Unfortunately, none of them worked out.
Chou Chou can walk now. She can also talk, but she can only say simple things.
In the morning, seeing that the weather was nice, Xiaoman moved two rocking chairs into the yard. "Mom, come out and get some sun."
"Okay." Tang Huihui led Chou Chou out of the house.
Chou Chou's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the rocking chair: "Mom, I like it."
Tang Huihui sat down in the recliner and looked at Chou Chou with a smile, saying, "Great-Grandma knows your mother likes rocking chairs. Come, sunbathe with Great-Grandma."
"Great-Grandma, I want to play with Heihei."
"Okay. Go ahead."
"good."
Chou Chou trotted over to Xiao Hei. "Hei Hei, let's play."
Little Black raised one of its front legs and shook it. Meaning: Come on up.
Ugly hugged Little Black's leg and huffed and puffed as it climbed up.
Tang Huihui sighed as she looked at Chou Chou. "Xiao Man, could you ask Old Shang to do some fortune-telling for Tengteng, Zuo Zuo, and You You to see where their marriage prospects lie?"
"Okay. Next time I visit Uncle Shang, I'll ask him to do a fortune telling for them."
"Shouldn't Yueyue be going to college by now?"
"Um."
"Do you think Nao Nao and Tengteng are the bosses?"
Why would you think that?
Tang Huihui looked at Chou Chou again. "Look, Nao Nao can't get married, so Tengteng, Zuo Zuo, and You You can't find partners either. Do you think it's because Nao Nao is the eldest, so if Nao Nao doesn't get married, his younger brothers and sisters can't get married either?"
Xiaoman felt it had nothing to do with that. The rule that the eldest child can't get married, and therefore the younger ones can't get married, is something people make, not something God makes. But... seeing Tang Huihui so eager to find partners for Tengteng, Zuozuo, and Youyou every day, Xiaoman said, "Maybe that really is the reason."
"Then...then I'll have to wait several more years before I can hold my nagging children."
"Not necessarily. Maybe Tengteng will bring you a granddaughter-in-law tomorrow."
"Tengteng would never do such a thing."
The next day, Tengteng didn't return. His older sister, however, did return. Not only did she return, but she also brought someone with her.
As soon as Chou Chou saw her older sister, she ran over and hugged her leg. "Mommy, you're back? Mommy, Chou Chou missed you so much! Mommy, who is this uncle?"
