Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Returning to My Mother’s Home 3

Xibao hummed a response, her eyes twinkling as she hooked her arm through Jin Ruochu’s, "Grandpa Jin, you still haven’t told me why there are different people talking inside the radio! I’ve searched several times, opening the little door of the radio, but there’s only a battery inside, no people. I’m so small and can’t even get in, so how did the brothers and sisters who sing and talk get in there?"

Wen Ruyu burst into laughter, "Old Jin, that drink wasn’t for free!"

Lu Jiang, sitting at the second table, glared, "Lu Xibao, when did you pry open the radio?"

Xibao crossed her hands and covered her mouth, her eyes swirling around as she uttered, "Dad, what did you say? What did you say? My ears are too small; I can’t hear a thing!" It was only after she had finished that she remembered she should have covered her ears, not her mouth.

Lu’s father glared at his son, "Xibao pried it open in front of me; I told him to do it. What about it? Are you going to scold me too?"

Xibao is a good child, okay? She dragged me to study the radio on purpose, not to secretly cause damage.

When the old father spoke up, Lu Jiang immediately fell silent.

Xibao wormed her way out from between Wen Ruyu and Jin Ruochu and snuggled up to Lu’s father, "Grandpa, you’re so nice. I like you the mostmostmost, I’ll pour you a drink, Mommy made lots of delicious food, I’ll get you some dishes!"

"Good grandchild!" Lu’s father happily accepted the wine cup from his good grandchild and drank it in one gulp to show face.

Spectators at the scene couldn’t help but laugh; Xibao really was a little clever clogs.

Probably, the only one at the two tables of men with a dark face was Lu Jiang.

Xue Dongmei turned to Feng Qingxue with a smile: "Daughter, your two children are really clever, the elder one whimsical and smart, the younger one sweet and agile. A son and a daughter, that’s really wonderful!"

Before Feng Qingxue could reply, Fubao, who sat beside her, chimed in, "Grandma, brother, brother, I have a brother now."

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table caught on.

"Xiaoxue, you’re pregnant again?" Xu Dame and He Qingyin exclaimed in unison, both happy for her.

Feng Qingxue nodded her head, "A little over a month now. I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, but Xibao keeps clamoring for a brother, to have someone to join him in his mischief. As for why Fubao insists it’s a brother... Don’t you like having a sister?"

Fubao bit on her finger, her eyes darting around, her expression tangled as if she didn’t know how to answer without offending anyone.

"Brother wants a brother!" Fubao pulled out her shield.

Feng Qingxue didn’t buy it, "I know perfectly well why brother wants a brother. What about you? Why do you prefer a brother instead of a sister?"

"I’m the sister! The little sister!" Fubao evaded the question.

"No, with the arrival of a brother or sister, you’ll be the elder sister, just the younger sister of your brother."

After listening to Feng Qingxue’s words, Fubao buried her head into her lap, "Mommy, I want a brother!"

The father knows his son best, a mother knows her daughter best.

Feng Qingxue stroked her daughter’s back and suddenly recalled the words Wang Jiao had said to her daughter during the day, along the lines of "mommy won’t love you anymore if she has a sister," which irked Feng Qingxue so much she sent Wang Jiao away with a can of food.

Instantly understanding her daughter’s little thought process, Feng Qingxue said with a laugh, "Fubao, did you hear what your aunt said? Are you afraid that once the sister is born, she will divide everyone’s affection for you? Worried I’ll make new clothes for her and not for you? If it’s a brother, it’s different; all the love and things meant for girls will still be yours, and you’ll still be the beloved beauty of the house."

How big is she, to already have such a sense of losing favor?

Fubao wriggled in her arms, silent.

The whole table burst into laughter, "Alright, she must be thinking exactly that, afraid of losing the unique affection at home! Turns out, it’s not only Xibao who’s the clever one in the house, Fubao is no less shrewd!"
