Chapter 636: Chapter 632 Xiao Shi’s Little Mood 02

——————

"Little Shier, don’t cry. Second Aunt and the others aren’t abandoning Little Shier. They’re just taking Little Jiu’er to the ancestral hall," Xiaoqi said with a hint of helplessness and envy.

"I don’t want...Little Shier!" Little Shier followed Sister Xiaoqi, her little legs slowly trudging, and her small mouth already starting to pout.

Moreover, she insisted on the fact that her parents and elder siblings didn’t want her!

On her tiny, delicate, white face, tears fell like pearls off a string, drop by drop.

"It’s not like that. Little Shier, you must not throw a tantrum. Remember at home, Second Aunt held you to offer prayers together, right? Just now, Second Aunt was merely continuing to take Little Jiu’er to offer prayers at the ancestral hall."

"Offer prayers...?" Little Shier wiped her face, asking in response.

Xiaoqi demonstrated a bow and explained, "Just now, when Second Aunt held you like this, that was to offer prayers!"

"Oh?" Little Shier still being young, her intelligence wasn’t as high as Little Jiu’er’s. She had the intelligence of roughly a three-year-old, unlike Little Jiu’er who, although small, had the intelligence of a five-year-old and therefore had a grasp on things, albeit a hazy one.

"It’s okay if Little Shier doesn’t understand. You just need to know that Little Jiu is a brother, and Little Shier is a sister, just like Sister Xiaoqi. Little girls can’t just go to the ancestral hall for no reason, understand?"

"Eh?" Little Shier ruffled her delicate little brows in confusion, tired from the long walk, and slowed down even more.

Walking ahead, Little Shier didn’t realize that her parents and elder siblings were following behind her. She mulled it over and concluded, "Ancestral hall...doesn’t want Little Shier to go?"

Having figured it out, Little Shier, annoyed, questioned Sister Xiaoqi, not even realizing she had blurted out four words on her own.

Xiaoqi didn’t realize it either.

Perhaps the only one who noticed was Xie Jingchen. He took his oldest son from his wife’s arms, and upon hearing the words, he raised an eyebrow.

Yan Jinsu and Little Jiu’er, following behind Little Shier, turned red at the corners of their eyes. If it weren’t for the fact that Little Shier wasn’t crying loudly, and Xiaoqi was comforting her, the two of them would have rushed forward.

"Uh..." Sister Xiaoqi felt a bit of a headache when asked, and after some thought, she decided to still sell out the ancestral hall. It didn’t matter who else was upset; she couldn’t upset her Second Aunt. So, she nodded briskly:

"Right, the ancestral hall doesn’t allow us girls to go!"

At this moment, Xiaoqi was relieved that Brother Xiao Si and the rest of their male cousins were being taken by the eldest cousin to join in the fun, leaving no ’brothers’ at home.

"Bad..." Shiyi, hearing this, was just about to curse in anger.

But Xiaoqi was quicker to react, immediately covering Little Shier’s mouth, nervously saying:

"Spit, spit, spit, Little Shier doesn’t know any better. May the spirits not take offense! Little Shier, you mustn’t speak rudely, or Second Aunt might not favor you anymore!"

"Wu!"

"Little Shier, the ancestral hall is a place where we honor our ancestors, you can’t speak offensively, understand?" Xiaoqi crouched down, looking into Little Shier’s eyes to admonish her.

Overtaken by what Little Shier blurted out, Xiaoqi was nearly scared witless.

Perhaps from the frequent admonitions from her own grandfather, although Xiaoqi felt a bit resentful about why the ancestral hall shouldn’t be freely visited by girls, it was the same treatment for all the girls in the village, so Xiaoqi didn’t dare to voice her discontent.

Little Shier thought about it, not quite understanding, but having followed Xiaoqi since she was young, she knew Xiaoqi was a good sister and nodded her head.

Xiaoqi let out a sigh of relief, released the hand covering Xiao Shi’s mouth, then whispered a caution combined with envious comfort after exhaling:

"Little Shier, getting angry just now was wrong. Second Aunt and Little Jiu’er’s eyes turned red when they saw you ignoring them. It must have been because of your attitude, you hurt their delicate feelings!

Little Shier should be obedient, Second Aunt loves you the most, Seventh Sister doesn’t know how much she longs to have a mom like Second Aunt... We should cherish our blessings."

"Sister Xiaoqi..." Little Shier saw Xiaoqi with red-rimmed eyes finishing the last sentence, and her heart trembled. She had long known from her brothers that Brother Xiao Si and Sister Xiaoqi didn’t have a ’Mommy’.

In the entire Xie Family’s grandchildren, only Sister Xiaoqi and Brother Xiao Si were without a ’Mom, Mommy, Mother’!

Hearing Sister Xiaoqi’s sorrowful words, the young Little Shier felt her eyes redden. She hadn’t understood at the time and had asked her brother; after getting an explanation from him, Little Shier decided secretly to be extra loving towards Sister Xiaoqi.

Sometimes, seeing Sister Xiaoqi’s admiring gaze, Little Shier often had the illusion that Sister Xiaoqi really wished for her Mommy to become her own mom.

Regrettably, even though Little Shier was young, she understood that Mommy couldn’t be given away. However, that didn’t stop them from being even nicer to Sister Xiaoqi.

Upon hearing what Sister Xiaoqi said, Little Shier immediately put away her unhappiness and instead comforted Sister Xiaoqi: "Sister Xiaoqi, don’t be sad, my Mommy also loves you very much."

"Yes, Second Aunt is the best, Little Shier shouldn’t make Second Aunt unhappy, otherwise, Sister Xiaoqi will also be upset."

"Not good! Little Shier is good, listen, to Sister Xiaoqi." Upon hearing that throwing a tantrum could upset the family, Little Shier immediately and softly apologized.

Seeing that she had actually managed to persuade Little Shier, Xiaoqi’s little face broke into a smile as she praised Little Shier:

"Little Shier is the best, Sister Xiaoqi likes Little Shier the most!" Of course, after Second Aunt and Daddy and Brother, then it’s Little Shier’s turn. Xiaoqi added in her mind.

Xie Jingchen and Yan Jinsu, standing behind them, felt a softness in their hearts. Little Jiu’er, hugging Daddy’s neck tightly, said to Mommy:

"Mommy, can we, like Aunt Chun Mei, take Brother Xiao Si and Sister Xiaoqi into our family as well?"

That way, Brother Xiao Si and Sister Xiaoqi could also call their own Daddy and Mommy.

"Little Jiu’er is good, Brother Xiao Si and Sister Xiaoqi, they still have Fourth Uncle, even if not from the same parents, they are still your cousins, and that doesn’t stop our family from treating them well."

Xie Jingchen was the first to explain to their clever son. Seeing Little Jiu’er puzzled for a moment, he quickly understood.

"Oh..." So they had to consider Fourth Uncle too.

Yan Jinsu, hearing this, felt incredibly moved and wondered what she previously did that made little Xiaoqi look up to her this much.

Though merely a five-year-old naive girl, she was so sensible it tugged at the heartstrings.

Having just comforted Little Shier, Xiaoqi felt someone approaching. Turning around, she found to her surprise it was Second Aunt, Second Uncle, and Little Jiu’er!

Xiaoqi happily called out, "Second Aunt."

Because Yan Jinsu was the one who came close first.

Yan Jinsu crouched down, hugging both little girls to her right and left, and praised Xiaoqi: "Xiaoqi is so good, thank you for helping Second Aunt to comfort Little Shier."

Unexpected yet reasonably, she received a big ’muah’ kiss on her cheek from Xiaoqi.

Seeing this, Little Shier felt aggrieved and, not to be outdone, ’muah’ planted a kiss on Mommy’s other cheek, calling out "Mommy".

Despite having thought about sharing Mommy with Sister Xiaoqi earlier, once Little Shier truly saw that Mommy was consoling Sister Xiaoqi first, Little Shier became upset, jealously looking at her most beloved Mommy.
