Chapter 236 235. Jealousy
“Ahh…”
The little fat girl babbled and clung to Lei Li's hand, her face full of excitement and eagerness for the pastries.
"The little girl is quite strong."
Lei Li laughed and grabbed the little fat girl's hand, wanting to let him hold her fingers. The little fat girl was quite smart and let go when she saw that it was not a pastry.
The little fat girl whined and frowned, feeling unhappy. She thought this uncle was really mean and didn't keep his word. He said Xue Niang would give Gao Gao but she didn't.
“Ahh…”
The little fat girl opened her arms to her father, asking him to hold her. But Yuger's arms were sore from holding her and had not recovered yet, so he didn't have the strength to hold her anymore.
"Let uncle hold you, okay?"
"ah!"
The little fat girl shook her head and stared at her daddy with wide eyes. Her face was round with fat, like an angry kitten that was about to show its claws.
"He also has a bad temper."
Lei Li couldn't help laughing and deliberately took two steps to the side to put some distance between the little fat girl and Yu Ge'er, which made the little fat girl frown and glare at him angrily.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. If you are angry, you won't be able to eat cakes later~"
"ah!"
The little fat girl's eyes widened even more, and she babbled, waving her hands in a rather aggressive manner, as if to say: "You uncle is so bad! I can eat a lot of cakes!"
"Okay, okay, I can eat it~"
Lei Li smiled and stopped teasing her. "Your daddy has been holding you for so long, his hands are still sore. Uncle is very strong, so hold our Xue Niang for a while longer. Wait until daddy's hands are no longer sore before you ask him to hold you again, okay?"
The little fat girl turned her head to look at her father, and only after seeing that her father nodded and smiled and said that he didn't have the strength did she let Lei Li continue to hold her, whining and looking very reluctant.
This made Lei Li very happy.
Lei Li carried the chubby girl Xue Niang to watch the game. Yu Ge'er didn't have to take care of the child, so he was about to go find Meng Yao, but was intercepted by Xiao Bao who met him halfway.
"Brother Yu!"
Xiao Bao smiled and took Yu Ge'er's hand, "It would be great if Senior Brother Yu was here. Master Qin has been ill these past two days, and I was worried that there weren't enough judges."
"You brother..."
Yu Ge'er shook his head in amusement, tapped his nose and said, "I just put Xue Niang down and was able to breathe a sigh of relief, and you dragged me to work. You know how to find the time."
Xiao Bao smiled coquettishly, "So, will you come, Senior Brother? The County Magistrate is here, so why don't you be a judge? Calligraphy, poetry, and music are all your strengths."
Yu Ge'er was born into a wealthy family and had a female teacher teach him at home since he was a child. He was familiar with the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, although he was not proficient in everything.
He came to the village school just to have fun and make more friends.
It was also because he was relatively knowledgeable that he was among the first batch of young masters selected by Master Asi. Xiaobao later also became a young master. Since they were both taught by Asi, they were naturally brothers.
"Junior Brother Yu asked me to go, so of course I went."
Yu Ge'er smiled slightly.
Xiaobao's full name is Miao Yurui. When Yuger heard him call him Senior Brother Yu, he called him Junior Brother Yu, saying that others would know from hearing that they were from the same school and had a good relationship.
The brothers held hands and talked about their recent situation. Xiaobao talked about the troubles and interesting things in teaching students in the village school, while Yuger told some interesting stories about Xue Niang.
When talking about children and family, Yuger naturally thought of Xiaobao and Xiaoshengjiang, and couldn't help but worry about him.
Xiaobao is sixteen years old now, which is a good age for marriage. If we wait until Xiaoshengjiang grows up... even if Xiaobao gets married to Shengjiang at fifteen, Xiaobao will be twenty-three years old.
...Prince Li got married at the age of twenty, and Lei Jingsheng also got married at the age of twenty-four. The Lei family didn't seem to care at all, and age didn't seem to be very important.
After thinking for a while, Yu Ge'er simply didn't mention it. He believed that Xiao Bao knew what was going on.
Lei Li carried Xiao Xue Niang to watch the game. He thought it was very interesting, but Xiao Xue Niang was not interested at all.
Until she saw that the prize for a competition was a bag of snacks, her eyes suddenly lit up, she babbled, and flapped her hands and feet, almost jumping out of Lei Li's arms like a fish.
"What are you so excited about?"
Lei Li hugged the energetic girl tightly to prevent her from falling. "Oh... did you see the snacks? You can't eat them. They're someone else's prize."
"ah!"
The little fat girl was unhappy when she heard this and struggled to get out of Lei Li's arms, but Lei Li held her up with both hands. Her struggle was like a flapping little turtle, which made Lei Li laugh.
“Daddy!”
The sound of ginger.
Hearing the sound, Lei Li lowered his head and looked over, and saw Little Jiang holding Brother Zhou Zhou's hand. As soon as he met his eyes, he smiled with his eyes curved.
“Daddy!”
Sheng Jiang pulled Zhou Zhou and trotted over, holding two bags of snacks in one hand. As soon as she ran to Lei Li, she raised her little face and said with a little pride,
"This is the prize I just won! I got first place in both the running and the long jump!"
"So amazing?"
Lei Li tucked the struggling little snow girl under his arm, freeing his other hand to pat the little ginger on the shoulder, praising him generously, "Our ginger is amazing! He won first place for two consecutive years!"
"Hehe~"
Sheng Jiang was a little embarrassed, her face slightly red. "I also participated in the calligraphy competition and the storytelling competition. I should be able to win a prize after the competition."
"The first prize in the calligraphy competition is a set of four treasures of the study. I want to give it to my younger brother so that he can practice calligraphy."
"That's fine."
Lei Li smiled and confirmed him, then looked at Zhou Zhou, "Zhou Zhou, do you want to learn calligraphy?"
“…”
Little Brother Zhou Zhou didn't say anything.
He stared at the chubby girl under Lei Li's arm with a serious look. After several seconds, he said, "No."
"What don't you give?"
This made no sense, and Lei Li couldn't understand it for a moment. "Zhou Zhou, are you talking to Daddy? Or are you talking to Xue Niang and her sister?"
"she."
Little Zhou Zhou stretched out his chubby little hand, pointed at the little fat girl, and said seriously, "I want some snacks. Zhou Zhou won't give them to me. Brother, give them to Zhou Zhou."
As a fellow foodie, Xiao Zhouzhou is very familiar with the greedy expression of the little fat girl. He does the same when he sees food he likes, but not as obviously as the little fat girl.
Xiao Zhou Zhou loves to eat delicious food.
But he is very moderate and not as greedy as other children. He is also very obedient. As long as he promises not to steal food, he will never steal food no matter how greedy he is.
And as long as his father, uncle and brother say it is not edible, he will not eat it even if he wants to.
Because eating something bad will make you sick, just like the last time he didn't believe it and asked his dad for a piece of spicy chicken. It was so spicy that he started coughing immediately and then had a fever.
Since then, Xiao Zhou Zhou never eats spicy food again, not even a little bit.
If he was told that he could only eat one piece of dessert, he would not touch the second piece after finishing it, because his stomach would be very uncomfortable with a bloated stomach, and if he felt uncomfortable, he would not be able to eat anything else. He still wanted to eat other delicious food.
This time, his brother gave him both bags of snacks, so of course they were his and only he could eat them. No one else could eat his snacks.
Xiao Zhouzhou had a stern face and stared at the little fat girl seriously, as if he wanted to use his fierce expression to make the little fat girl give up so that he could protect his snacks.
But Xiao Xueniang is not even one year old yet. As soon as she sees snacks, her mind and eyes are filled with them. She can't hear or see anything others say.
"Both bags are from Zhou Zhou?"
Lei Li smiled and squatted down to look Zhou Zhou in the eye. "Zhou Zhou is still little, you can't eat so many snacks, it will make you feel uncomfortable. You can't eat more after eating two pieces."
"Um."
Xiao Zhou Zhou nodded seriously.
Lei Li looked at Kele, rubbed his little head, and said, "You have a sullen face, just like your father... Is Zhou Zhou still playing here? Daddy, help Zhou Zhou put the snacks away?"
"Um."
Xiao Zhou Zhou nodded again.
But I saw Lei Li holding two bags of snacks in one hand and holding the little fat girl in the other hand, as if he wanted to hold the little fat girl all the time.
The little boy stared at his father seriously for a second, then let go of Brother Ginger's hand and opened his little hands to his father, "Hold me, Zhou Zhou too."
"Zhou Zhou wants to be hugged too?"
Lei Li first wanted to say that Daddy had no arms and couldn't hold Zhou Zhou, but then he realized it and laughed, "Is Zhou Zhou jealous? Don't you like Daddy holding other children?"
"Um."
Little Zhou Yi nodded seriously, staring at him with his big black eyes without blinking, and raised his little hands, as if he would not let go unless his father held him.
"Oh well."
Lei Li sighed pretentiously and said with an exaggerated, doting smile, "Daddy is Zhou Zhou's daddy, so naturally he loves us Zhou Zhou the most. If our Zhou Zhou wants to be hugged, then Daddy will definitely hug him."
"Um!"
Little Zhou Zhou gave a small smile and responded with a crisp and loud sound, obviously happy.
"But this little sister can't walk yet. Daddy can't put her down to hold Zhou Zhou. He has to give her to someone else so that Daddy can hold Zhou Zhou with his free hands."
Lei Li whispered softly, "Can Zhou Zhou wait for Daddy for a while, let Daddy return Sister Xue Niang to him, and then come back to hug Zhou Zhou?"
“…”
Little Zhou Zhou turned his gaze towards his chubby sister, looked at her thoughtfully for two seconds, and nodded calmly, "Just a moment. Daddy, hurry up."
"Okay."
Lei Li couldn't help but laugh and promised him, "Daddy will be back soon. Zhou Zhou and brother are waiting for Daddy here. Let Sheng Jiang take the snacks first."
"good."
Sheng Jiang nodded, took the two bags of snacks, watched Daddy take Xue Niang away, took Zhou Zhou's hand and took him to an empty bench, where they sat down and waited for Daddy to come back.
Not long.
Lei Li came back alone as promised. He picked up Xiao Zhou Zhou and let him sit on his arms, then picked up Xiao Sheng Jiang as well.
He spun them around several times, making the two children giggle, "Isn't this fun? Is Daddy holding me high?"
“Fun!”
Little Ginger grinned happily, hugged his father's neck and said, "Daddy holds you so high! Ginger wants to grow up to be as tall as Daddy!"
Lei Li laughed when he heard this, "Maybe he's taller than Daddy or Grandfather..."
