Liu Zhimo and the others smiled as they thanked him. Then, they walked in front of Zhang Yuner and called him Sanniang.
Zhang Yuner's eyes were bloodshot as she continuously sized up Liu Zhimo and his siblings. After a while, she finally spoke up with a choked voice, "Mo Er, you look very much like your father, as if you were imprinted from the same mold. If not …" She paused, a sad smile on her face. "I would have thought you were him."
It was obvious that this Sanniang had a better relationship with father than Aunt and second aunt. The smile on Liu Zhimo's face also became a little more genuine, "Sanniang, you have my condolences, but my father doesn't want to see you so sad."
Zhang Yuner used a handkerchief to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes, and laughed: "Look at me, you guys are ridiculing me." She then looked towards Liu Zhiyan and Liu Zhirou, and touched their heads and said, "Yan Er is 50% like your father, Rou Er looks very much like your mother."
Fourth brother's three children had grown up especially because of their parents' good looks.
"Sanniang, have you seen my mother before?" Liu Zhirou raised her head to look at Zhang Yuner, and asked him in a soft voice.
Zhang Yuner really liked girls. Seeing the cute and lovable Liu Zhirou, even her heart melted.
She couldn't help but touch the two bags on Liu Zhirou's head, and said with a gentle smile, "I have."
That girl standing with Fourth Brother was a match made in heaven. If it wasn't for that year …
Sigh... These matters were already in the past, there was no point in saying anything more.
Liu Zhirou blinked his eyes, "I've never seen them before …" Or rather, she had, but she was too young to remember.
Instantly, Zhang Yuner's tears fell. She could not help but hold Liu Zhirou in her arms. This poor child, she would treat them like her own children in the future. She would definitely let Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-Law feel at ease.
Zhong Qing didn't want Zhang Yuner to monopolize all of them, so she also walked over and smiled, "Right, in the future, Second Aunt will also properly love you two. You can come and find Second Aunt for anything." Who wouldn't know how to speak good words and put up a front before others? As for how to treat these children in the future, who would know and who would be able to see that?
It was just that she did not expect Zhang Yuner to have so much to say to her today, to know how to behave, and to actually gain a good impression of her in front of so many guests, so that others would think that she was some sort of magnanimous person.
Heh … In her eyes, she felt that it was very hypocritical.
"Third Sister-in-Law, if you have anything to say, please say it slowly in the future. Don't let so many guests wait here, hurry up and greet them!" Seeing that was not used to Second Sister-in-Law and Third Sister-in-Law being so hypocritical, he could not help but urge them.
A man's heart is far away from his stomach. Moreover, he was separated from his parents. How could he treat someone else's child so sincerely? It was impossible for her to do so.
The reason they were acting so hypocritically today was to leave a good impression in front of so many guests.
What a joke, which one of the people present wasn't smart? How could they have been tricked by them with just this little trick?
In any case, as the daughter-in-law of a concubine, it was impossible for her to do such a shameful thing.
"Sorry, I lost my composure." Zhang Yuner laughed again, releasing the hand that was hugging Liu Zhirou, and gave Liu Zhirou the greeting gift that she had prepared, "Sanniang prepared it in a hurry, I don't know if you guys like it, it's just that I don't like it, sometime Sanniang will give it to you guys as a gift."
"I do, thank you Sanniang."
"It's good that you like it." Zhang Yuner laughed again, and when she looked at Li Qingling, she very seriously thanked him. She knew from her father that if it wasn't for this lady, Liu Zhimo and his siblings wouldn't have returned safely.
"Sanniang, this is what I should do." Li Qingling laughed and replied. His impression of Zhang Yuner was very good, he could truly feel that Zhang Yuner was sincere towards them, not as perfunctory as Aunt and her second aunt.
"Yes, yes, yes. I was happy for the moment and said the wrong words. Ling'er, please don't take offense to this."
"It can't be …"
Zhang Yuner's first impression of Li Qingling was also good. She passed Li Qingling the step shake she had meticulously selected, "This is the Sanniang's greeting gift for you. Your Third Uncle is not at home either.
Li Qingling smiled as he accepted it, and thanked Sanniang.
Zhang Yun nodded his head happily.
The next thing to do was for Liu Zhimo and the others to meet the few children from the three rooms in the eldest house and second house.
When Liu Zhishan saw Li Qingling, his eyes widened. He never thought that the girl he had bullied before was actually his cousin's daughter-in-law.
Could this be considered to be true? The paths of enemies were narrow, yet they were still able to encounter such adversaries?
Fortunately, they were still alive. Were they related by blood, or were they so close?
"Good cousin …" Liu Zhimo called out to him without changing his expression.
Li Qingling had previously said that he sent Liu Zhishan to the army camp to train. Now, he was a little different from before.
Returning to his senses, Liu Zhishan smiled stiffly and nodded in agreement.
Why didn't his mother tell him about this? Why didn't he have any mental preparation?!
Liu Zhimo and the others did not care about Liu Zhishan's stiff expression and went to see their other cousins.
When it was Zhang Yuner's six year old daughter, Liu Zhixin, she tilted her head and looked at Liu Zhimo, "Big Brother, you're like my father. Why haven't I seen you before? Why don't you live at home? "
"Your father and uncle look alike, so …" Zhang Yuner hurriedly explained to the person who misunderstood.
Liu Zhimo expressed his understanding and looked down at the Liu Zhixin who was one year younger than him. He smiled gently and bent down to pick her up, "Then, does Xin Xin like big brother? Do you want big brother to live at home? "
"I like it..." Liu Zhixin nodded her head tenderly, her small hands hugging Liu Zhimo's neck, "If Big Brother lives at home, can I give Xin Xin some sweets?"
"Sure." Before Liu Zhixin could laugh, Liu Zhimo added another sentence, "You can't eat too much. If you eat too much, your teeth will hurt.
Liu Zhixin stretched out her small hands to cover her mouth, staring at her round eyes, she shook his head non-stop.
Mother said that she was going to eat a lot of sugars and her teeth would hurt, so she didn't let her eat that much. However, she really liked eating them.
She originally thought that this big brother would let her eat, but she didn't expect …
"That's it. You can't make your teeth ache just because you want to eat something. Do you understand?"
"Alright …"
Seeing that Liu Zhixin was so obedient, Zhang Yuner snappily tapped her forehead and laughed: "She, no one will listen, and pout the moment she says it. I never thought that she would listen to your words like this. Liu Zhixin was her daughter, and also her youngest. It was inevitable that she would pamper her a little.
Come to think of it, it was a strange thing for a child to not be able to play with the few kids in the main house. She did not expect Liu Zhimo, who she had only met once, to persuade her so easily.
She was very happy that the children of her two families were doing well.
"Xin Xin, you can play with Sister Rou in the future." Zhang Yuner smiled and pinched his daughter's face, letting her down from Liu Zhimo's embrace. She held her hand and pulled Liu Zhirou's hand, "You two sisters will get along well in the future, do you understand?"
Liu Zhixin also liked the beautiful big sister Liu Zhirou. She nodded her head heavily and called him big sister.
Liu Zhirou grunted, then took out a small embroidered purse from her bosom and handed it over to Liu Zhixin. "This is mine, give it to little sister." She was a little nervous, wondering if her sister would like her present.
"Wah …" Elder sister, did you embroider this? "You're so powerful." Liu Zhixin saw that there were a few little ducks embroidered on the bag, and happily took them over, "Elder sister, how old are you?"
"Seven years old."
"She's older than me by a year, but I still don't know how to embroider these things. Sis, you're too amazing." Normally, she would take out a needle and thread and poke it into her hand. She felt that the needle and thread were the same as her own. She didn't want to listen to her, not to mention being able to sew out such a beautiful bag, "Big sister, I also want a puppy. Can you sew one for me?"
"I can." Liu Zhirou blushed slightly and shyly nodded at Liu Zhixin's praise.
Liu Zhixin smiled and hugged Liu Zhirou, then said smilingly: "Big sister, you are so nice."
When Zhang Yuner saw this scene, she smiled and said, "This is good, this little devil has a partner to play with now and will no longer bring harm to my flowers and plants." In fact, she was also a little surprised. Her daughter was very recognizable, and not just anyone could play with her. She really didn't expect that her fourth brother's children could easily gain her approval.
It seemed like this really was the legendary blood relation. No matter how he cut it, he couldn't cut it.
"Zhiyan, your fourth brother is the top scholar, what is there that he doesn't understand? You can ask your cousin in normal times, do you understand?" Zhang Yuner then stealthily brought her second son out and pushed him in front of Liu Zhimo, allowing the two cousins to get closer and closer to him.
According to the Liu Family's male rankings, Liu Zhimo was coincidentally ranked fourth, thus becoming the Si Shaoye of the Liu Family.
His father was Si Shaoye in the past, and he became Si Shaoye as well.
Liu Zhiyan scratched his head and smiled, "Then I'll have to ask Fourth Brother for your help." He had heard from his mother that his uncle was a peerless scholar who had once been the top scholar. His cousin had inherited his uncle's brain and had become a top scholar at such a young age.
As his younger cousin, he was under a lot of pressure!
Liu Zhimo smiled and said to Liu Zhiyan, learning from each other.
Hearing this, Liu Zhiyan felt that this Fourth Brother not only had a good brain, but also could speak so well that others couldn't hate him even if they wanted to.
His mother said that his father had a very good relationship with his fourth uncle and wanted him to get along with his older cousin as well.
Before they met, he was afraid that his cousin would be hard to get along with, so he didn't need to worry about it now.
