Chapter 446 Children at Home

As for the betrothal gift and dowry, Tao Tao did not mention much. She knew that her family could not afford much betrothal gift, so she did not ask much from Xia Zhuoyue.

After all, according to her previous assumptions, both of them had stable incomes from jobs, and their life after marriage would not be bad.

A few days later, Xia Zhuoran and Uncle Xia's family also returned.

Several cousins ​​from my uncle's family also came back together. Except for the third child, Xia Zhuojun, all the other children from my uncle's family are married and have families.

When there are too many people in the house, noise is inevitable.

Especially my eldest cousin’s two children, who are now seven or eight years old, are at the age when cats and dogs dislike them.

Xia Jingjing and Xia Zhuoqun, the two younger aunts and uncles, are busy running around the house every day with their newly-appointed nephews and nieces.

Xia Zhizhi has never had much kindness towards children. If they were well-behaved, it would be fine, but if they were so noisy, she just thought they were stupid.

Every morning, Ah Ju would take them outside to play.

My second cousin and his wife gave birth to a little niece this year. She is five months old now, fair and tender. We named her Xia Yao [Come claim her].

This is not that noisy. After all, the baby is only five months old. Even if he wants to jump around, he is unable to do so.

But don't underestimate him because he is small and can't be quiet. Every day when he opens his eyes, he needs someone to hold him in circles. Then he shakes his little head and looks around curiously. He looks so cute and adorable. He is so well-behaved.

Of course, this well-behaved appearance is just superficial.

This child can only be carried around in circles, and cannot stop for a moment. Not to mention putting the child down, as long as you stand still, she will cry loudly.

My second cousin and his wife were tortured enough. Fortunately, they were with the whole family when they took the bus north. Their grandparents, uncles and aunts could take turns to help them, otherwise they would have been left to fend for themselves. I guess they have become savages by now.

Well, it was estimated that the time had come and little Xia Yao must be hungry. My second cousin and Xia Zhuoran were talking in the other room, so my second cousin's wife put the little girl on the sofa and started to make milk powder for her.

Xia Yao uttered a few words, and seeing that her own mother was too lazy to take care of her, she turned over on the sofa, struggled to get up, adjusted herself to a position that would allow her to make a louder sound, and then pursed her lips, ready to use her power.

Xia Zhizhi, who was standing nearby, rushed over quickly.

Xia Yao was stunned for a moment and forgot to cry.

She was the youngest child in the family at this moment. It was her first time returning home and everything was new to her. Except for Xia Zhizhi, everyone else in the family liked to hug her and tease her.

Some gay men in particular like to hold their children high up.

Except for Xia Zhizhi, she would just hug them for the sake of pretending, and then let go.

Firstly, there are many people in the house, and under normal circumstances, it is not her turn to take care of the child. Secondly, she is lazy, so why would she be willing to hold a little girl and walk around in circles?

When Xia Yao saw the aunt coming over, she thought that the aunt was coming to hug her.

The child had a pitiful look on his face, with his mouth wide open, ready to howl, urging her to hurry up.

Xia Zhizhi did speed up, strode over, and before the little girl could howl, she reached out and pinched her mouth.

The little girl moved her mouth but couldn't open it, so she could only stretch out her two little paws and vigorously scratch at the culprit.

Xia Zhizhi had no moral sense, so how could she feel guilty for bullying a child? She refused to let go and just stayed in a stalemate with her little niece.

Xia Qingqing was the kinder one. She pushed the door open, saw Xia Zhizhi pinching the child's mouth, and hurried in to pick up the child.

Xia Qingqing doted on Xia Zhizhi to a great extent and almost never said anything to her. But now she couldn't help but knock her on the head and whispered to her, "Why are you so foolish? If you don't want to take care of the children, just go out and play. Don't do this anymore."

After escaping from the clutches of the devil, Xia Yao felt aggrieved. Even though Xia Qingqing was holding her, she still howled a few times.

Xia Zhizhi felt that the children were noisy, so she nodded and perfunctorily said to her sister: "Okay, okay, I got it." Then she went out.

Second cousin's wife was quick and prepared the milk powder quickly. Seeing her coming over with the bottle, Xia Yao reached out for a hug.

I stuffed the bottle into her arms, and she stopped making noises and started drinking milk diligently.

Xia Zhizhi had just walked into the yard when Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu came back with their two nephews. The two nephews were mostly wet and gave off a bad smell.

As soon as the child saw Xia Zhizhi, he felt like he had found someone to rely on. He pursed his lips and stretched out his hands to seek comfort: "Seventh Aunt...wuwuwu..."

Xia Zhizhi covered her nose and jumped onto the flowerbed. While hiding, she stopped them with words: "Don't come over, don't come over, don't come over. You two stink so much. What are you doing? Did you fall into the shit pit?"

With the temperature in Beijing, even the manure pits are frozen solid. If you fall into them, you'll just get hurt at most, but it won't end up like this, right?

The disgust on Xia Zhizhi's face was too obvious. The two children were deeply hurt. They could no longer bear the humiliation and burst into tears.

Xia Zhizhi asked Xia Jingjing who had followed behind, "What happened to those two?"

Xia Jingjing twisted her fingers awkwardly: "We were playing hide-and-seek in the alley over there, and we happened to run into someone emptying a manure bucket, and they accidentally bumped into us."

Good guy, no wonder it's wet and smelly.

Xia Zhizhi pinched her nose and continued to back away, pointing to the room where her brothers were: "Go inside and find your uncles, and ask them to take you to the bathhouse to take a bath!"

The two children pushed open the door, and the cold wind mixed with the smell of sewage was blown into the house. Several men who were chatting were shivered by the stench.

As the biological father, my cousin's husband hurried over to show some concern.

It’s one thing if the clothes are dirty, you can just change them and wash them, but the child also has this smell, and who can stand the stinky smell on New Year’s Day? I can only take him to the bathhouse to take a bath.

It was just before the end of the year, and several men also wanted to take a shower, so a large group went out together.

As soon as this group of people left, Xia Zhizhi felt the air was fresh and quiet.

Then he turned his attention to Ah Ju who was standing nearby doing nothing.

Xia Zhizhi frowned slightly, a little puzzled, and asked: "Aju, is there something wrong with your body?"

After all, based on Xia Zhizhi's own understanding of Ah Ju, the robot's information collection method and response capabilities are limited. How could a child accidentally bump into a sewage bucket?

It is very likely that something went wrong somewhere, causing his reaction ability to be less sensitive than before.
