The Su Family’s domestic affairs have always been the talk of the town, a complete mess.
Thanks to Su Junshu’s outstanding contributions and impeccable work performance, everyone has put up with it.
At the height of the gossip, Guo Yan was animatedly recounting Xibao’s daytime antics to Feng Qingxue and others, excited to the point of incoherency and repeating her descriptions over and over.
Wang Zhonghua, chin resting on his hand, looked at Xibao, who was engrossed in eating cake, with a face full of admiration.
Wang Fengqiao stared at Xibao in amazement, "Is Xibao really that impressive? Managing to outdo a seven-year-old kid all by himself?"
"Xibao, was that you? Why did you think of buying cake?" Feng Qingxue was also greatly surprised, almost as if Xibao had become a genius.
Enticing the enemy, striking out, running away, evading responsibility, seeking protection and so on—all this he could switch between freely amidst laughter and tears. Was this really her two-and-a-half-year-old son? Perhaps it was because of the nutrient deficiencies in this era, many six to seven-year-old children did not have the same level of intelligence.
"Bait." Xibao calmly uttered a word after swallowing the food in his mouth.
Feng Qingxue, Guo Yan, and Wang Fengqiao all exchanged glances. Was he really so young and already understood the concept of bait?
Grandfather Lu smacked his forehead, "The weather was freezing a few days ago, and it wasn’t convenient to take Xibao outside. He didn’t expend much energy at home during the day and wouldn’t sleep at night, rolling around restlessly. I had to keep telling him stories. As for the issue of bait, because he asked if it was the ’ear’ from ’ear’, I specifically explained the deeper meaning to him. Could it be that he remembered it?"
Being a boy, he was interested in stories about military strategy and history. While narrating, Grandfather Lu naturally imparted the strategies contained within to his grandson.
Although he was too young to remember it all at once, it was better than nothing.
And it seemed to have worked.
He was barely over two and already knew how to set a trap and dupe his enemy, then run away and seek the protection of adults when the fight was over!
Fearless and strategic, he would be unstoppable in the future.
Feng Qingxue guessed that Grandfather Lu must have had a hand in this, and indeed she was right. No matter how intelligent a child is, without the guidance of an adult, they wouldn’t be able to perform so flawlessly.
Too perfect! As Feng Qingxue looked at her son, a smile appeared in her eyes.
Little kids can’t resist praise. After his fill of food and drink, Xibao became mischievous. He grabbed Wang Zhonghua and went to the yard to urinate and water the ants.
"Little brother, I don’t want to pee!" Wang Zhonghua’s eyes widened in surprise.
"I’m the big brother, Huahua!" Xibao insisted that Wang Zhonghua call him big brother. "Call me big brother!"
Wang Zhonghua is not foolish. He would not simply call Xibao his big brother just because Xibao had helped him, "No, little brother, I’m the big brother."
A large dispute arose between the two over who was the big brother and who was the little one.
At this moment, Xibao bore no resemblance to the strategic and brave person he had been during the day.
After a while of arguing, Xibao suddenly remembered that he still needed to pee. He quickly ran out and squatted down. Not long after, he yelled into the house, "I pooped! I pooped!"
Perhaps I’ve eaten too much, he thought, rubbing his round belly. Everyone was so nice to him!
Grandfather Lu quickly went outside to clean up Xibao, leaving only the women inside the house.
Guo Yan continued to shower praises on Xibao. Glancing at her watch she chuckled, "All right, with Xibao safely home, it’s time for me to leave. If I don’t get going, it’ll be dark. I’ll bring Zhonghua over to play with Xibao tomorrow." Xibao was indeed a good buddy.
Xibao, in the midst of relieving himself, waved at them. "Huahua, bye-bye, come again next time!"
Feng Qingxue, hearing this from inside the house, nearly laughed so hard she choked.
Why did that just sound off?
