Chapter 709: Couple and Companion

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Huai coming to the Wang Family was already more natural than when he returned to Duke Yong Manor. The gatekeeper had long recognized him. When he saw Qin Huai and Ah Yu’s carriage approaching from afar, he ran back into the house to report.

Soon, Zhu’er ran out and looked at Qin Huai, who was getting out of the carriage. He opened his arms and welcomed him. “Big Brother Qin Huai!”

Qin Huai picked him up. When All Yu, who had followed him down, saw this, she smiled. “Mother just said yesterday that you’ve gained weight. Today, you’re lying in Big Brother’s arms. Do you want to see if his strength has increased?”

“No,” Zhu’er said. “If 1 let Big Brother Qin Huai carry me, Big Sister won’t have to carry me, and you won’t have to tire out!”

Ah Yu said, “1 didn’t say I wanted to carry you. You’re already so old. You have to learn to walk on your own.”

“Big Sister is lying. When you were this age, all the Big Brothers at home carried you all the time. You still have Little Lamb to ride.” As Zhu’er spoke, he sighed like an adult. “What a pity. Little Lamb doesn’t let me ride it.”

If he could ride a sheep out to play, wouldn’t his friends be envious to death?

Ah Yu couldn’t be bothered to talk to the little childish boy. She raised her foot and walked in first, planning to see what her mother and the others were doing and if there was anything she could help with.

“You’re right. Your Big Sister was very delicate when she was young,” Qin Huai said. “Who asked her to be the most likable little blessing in our family? It’s not just us. Zhu’er, when you grow up, you can also carry your Big Sister and buy her delicious food and fun things. Bring her around to play, okay?”

Zhu patted his chest. “You don’t have to say that. I’ve already planned to do this! Big Brothers are all Big Brothers. I’m Big Sister’s only Little Brother. Do you know what’s the meaning of the only one? There’s only one me!”

When the little boy spoke, his chin was raised high, just like Little All Yu back then.

At this point, a smile gathered in Qin Huai’s eyes. He pretended to look ahead while whispering to Zhu’er, “Do you know that the number of Elder Brothers and Elder Sisters can’t be increased, but there’s no set number for Younger Brothers and Younger Sisters?”

In other words, as long as there were new children born in their generation, this Little Brother will naturally not be the only one.

When Ah Yu turned around, she saw that Zhu’er, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly had a frown on his face. His mouth was pouted, and he looked like he was about to cry.

“What’s going on?” Ah Yu first looked at Zhu’er and then at Qin Huai.

Qin Huai shook his head slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Children are like this. They like to cry.”

Zhu’er’s voice was muffled and carried a sobbing tone that could barely be hidden. “I-I’m fine.”

This brother-in-law was too bad. In the future, he would not call him Brother-in-law in his heart. Hmph!

When he grew up, he would find many people better-looking and more powerful than Big Brother Qin Huai for Big Sister. At that time, he would see who would cry.

After this little episode, All Yu led Qin Huai into the Wang residence, where the wives of the younger generation had already prepared the meal.

After learning that they had brought back a big sea crab, the chef, who had already washed his hands, deftly changed his clothes and walked in with the big sea crab, saying that he wanted to show everyone his skills.

“If we want the seafood to taste fresh, we can’t cook it for too long. It’s appropriate for us to wait while eating.” Wei Qianying smiled and called everyone to take a seat.

Jiang Wujing nodded as well, “That’s right. I once went with my maternal grandfather to a tributary of the canal. There were some seafood creatures that were easy to raise and transport. The local people cooked them just like we do with crabs. After cleaning them and steaming them, they become an exquisite delicacy.”

Ah Yu said, “You might be familiar with what’s delicious around here, but if you want to know about tasty things all over the country, our family also has experts in that area!”

As she spoke, Ah Yu pointed at the silent Zhou Chuchu.

Zhou Chuchu looked up in confusion under everyone’s gazes. She only reacted after a while and her face immediately turned red.

“Chuchu, we’re all family. Why are you still shy?” Jiang Wujing patted her shoulder, only to see Zhou Chuchu’s face turn even redder. She was shocked. “Are you alright?”

Ah Yu also stood up and craned her neck to take a look. “Fourth Sister-in-law, are you alright?”

“Cough, cough, cough!” Zhou Chuchu hammered her chest hard and finally swallowed the food in her throat. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I’m fine. I just choked.”

It turned out that the kitchen had made her favorite five-spice cake today. She couldn’t help but eat a few more pieces and couldn’t bear to put them down even when it was time for the proper meal..
