Chapter 200 Chenchen's Little Thoughts
Another day has passed, and there are only three days left until Lunar New Year's Eve.
The Xiao family has already begun busily preparing for the New Year. Because the third branch of the family is returning this year, the Xiao family is especially lively.
Meanwhile, Xiao Siyue was being pestered and played with by her nephew, Xiao Yichen.
"Auntie, is this food?" Xiao Siyue didn't know what to play with the children, so she took out the flashcards they had made earlier.
"This is rice, the kind of rice that Chenchen eats every day." Xiao Siyue saw a big character for rice written on the card, with a picture of a bowl of rice drawn behind it.
"Chenchen loves to eat rice, it's so fragrant! Chenchen is full after eating it." The little guy is now four years old, but he still speaks in a slightly childish voice, which is especially cute.
“That’s right, after eating rice, you won’t be hungry anymore. Our Chenchen must cherish it and not waste it.” Xiao Siyue patted the little guy’s round ears.
"Yes, I know. Mommy told me that Chenchen always finishes his food." The little guy patted his tummy, very proud.
"Our Chenchen is such a good child."
"Will Auntie always like Chenchen?" The little guy suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Xiao Siyue with a mixture of caution and expectation.
"Of course I would! Chenchen is so cute, how could Auntie not like Chenchen?" Xiao Siyue didn't know what was wrong with this child, why she would ask such a question.
"But...but..." the little guy stammered, wanting to say something but then stopping.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Siyue quickly sat up straight and asked the little one, "Chenchen, what's wrong? Tell Auntie, did someone bully Chenchen?"
The little one looked at his anxious aunt, and suddenly tears welled up in his eyes. He sobbed and nestled in Xiao Siyue's arms, saying, "Auntie, Xiaolingdang said that after Mommy gives birth to a little brother, you will only like the little brother and not me anymore. Waaaaah... I don't want you to only like the little brother."
Xiao Siyue felt helpless seeing the little one crying so sadly, wiping snot and tears all over her.
"Little Bell is wrong. Even if your mother gives birth to a younger brother, we will still love Chenchen, so Chenchen, don't cry, okay?" Xiao Siyue patted the little one's back and comforted her.
"Really?" The little guy sniffled and asked, looking aggrieved, after hearing Xiao Siyue say that.
"Of course it's true, Chenchen, don't you believe your aunt?" Xiao Siyue picked up a handkerchief and wiped away the little guy's tears and snot.
"Look how much Chenchen is crying. She can't cry anymore, or Auntie won't have enough handkerchiefs." Xiao Siyue affectionately pinched the little one's nose.
The little guy immediately became shy, buried his head in Xiao Siyue's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Chenchen is a man, he didn't cry."
"Haha, that's right, our Chenchen is a real man, he'll protect his aunt in the future, why would he cry? Aunt must have misjudged him." Xiao Siyue laughed heartily, this little guy is too cute.
Upon hearing Xiao Siyue's words, the little boy immediately declared, "Don't worry, Auntie. When Chenchen grows up, I will protect you."
"Okay, then I'll wait for Chenchen." The little guy finally stopped crying, and the tears stopped flowing, but his eyes still looked red.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Xiao walked in from outside and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Chenchen? I heard her crying from far away."
Seeing Chenchen nestled in Xiao Siyue's arms, she thought something was wrong.
After Xiao Siyue told Old Lady Xiao about the matter, Old Lady Xiao was furious and wished she could kick Liu Pozi a few times right now to stop her from talking so much.
"That must be Granny Liu gossiping behind people's backs. I think she's just idle and has nothing better to do than talk behind people's backs, trying to make herself look good. She doesn't seem to do anything productive all day."
Granny Liu is Liu Yougen's wife in the village and also the grandmother of Xiao Lingdang, whom Xiao Yichen mentioned. She loves to cause trouble and is never busy at home. Instead, she sits at the entrance of the village, gossiping about this and that. Xiao Lingdang must have listened to her, which is why Chenchen said it.
Chenchen's mother, Qu Yin, is now six months pregnant. She may have neglected Chenchen somewhat, which made the clever little guy feel that his mother doesn't love him as much as before. Coupled with Xiao Lingdang's words, the little guy started to have some thoughts.
Old Mrs. Xiao lovingly hugged the little one into her arms: "Chenchen, how could your great-grandmother not love our Chenchen? In your great-grandmother's heart, Chenchen is the cutest and most well-behaved child."
"Yes, Chenchen likes Great-Grandma too." Chenchen was finally happy after being comforted by the two of them.
"Grandma, I think you should talk to your sister-in-law about this. Otherwise, it won't be good if the two children develop feelings for each other. And even if your sister-in-law is pregnant, she can't neglect Chenchen." Xiao Siyue decided to remind her. This matter wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't insignificant either. Children are the most sensitive.
Especially Chenchen, the first child of the fourth generation of the Xiao family, is deeply loved by the whole family. Now that she sees her mother and grandmother focusing most of their attention on the unborn child, she must feel a sense of loss.
However, this doesn't mean that little Chenchen is selfish; it's just that the adults haven't taught him properly.
"Yes, Yue'er is right. I'll go and talk to your aunt and Da Suo later." Old Mrs. Xiao thought Xiao Siyue was right.
Old Mrs. Xiao took Chenchen to the main room. Somehow, in the afternoon, little Chenchen was seen holding Qu Yin's hand, happily coming to the canteen for lunch.
At the dinner table, little Chenchen would even serve food to Qu Yin.
"Mom, eat this, it's delicious."
"Thank you, Chenchen. Chenchen, you can eat too."
Until the afternoon, Xiao Siyue noticed that Chenchen was constantly clinging to Qu Yin, and would occasionally put his ear to Qu Yin's stomach.
"Mom, my little brother is saying hello to me," the little guy said in surprise.
"Yes, your little brother likes you, so he's saying hello to Chenchen." Qu Yin affectionately patted her son's head.
"I like my little brother too." Chenchen giggled happily.
"Hello little brother, I'm your big brother. After you come out, I'll take you to play. I even learned to read with Auntie today. When you come out, we'll ask Auntie to call us. Oh, and it's so much fun outside. I'll play with you then." Chenchen chattered on and on to the baby in her belly, not stopping even when no one answered.
Xiao Siyue was very pleased to see this.
It seems this matter is over, and she doesn't need to worry anymore.
Just before dinner, another carriage stopped in front of the Xiao family's house.
