Li Jing’s awkward expression suddenly turned into joy, "Hey? Guoguo, are you calling me?"
"Brother, brother—" She grinned, showing two small white teeth.
"Wow, she can call brother now!" Li Jing laughed heartily in excitement.
Xue Family was displeased. This child didn’t call for her mother first, but her brother?
She turned her head away in anger.
Upon hearing that Guoguo could call people, everyone gathered around.
The third brother, Li Xing’an, teased her, "Come on, Guoguo, call for your Third Uncle."
Second Young Master sneered, "She’s only seven months old, do you think she’s seven years old? How could she call such a complex three-character word?" Then he turned with a sly smile to Guoguo, "Two is simpler than three, one less stroke. Come, Guoguo, call Second Uncle."
Guoguo looked at Second Young Master, looked at Li Xing’an, and cheerfully called, "Uncle."
Li Xing’an slapped his knee and laughed, "She thinks two is complicated too! Second brother!"
"At least she called me uncle first."
"She clearly called us both at the same time."
"Are you blind? She clearly called me only, don’t be so self-indulgent!"
"You’re the one who’s self-indulgent!"
"My mother is your mother too, do you want to die, daring to insult her?"
"You’re so noisy, move aside, move aside!" The Great Princess separated the two brothers and squeezed in front of Guoguo, smiling and pinching her little hand, "Come, call Auntie."
"Auntie." Guoguo cheerfully replied.
The Great Princess’s face darkened, angrily huffing, "You lazy girl, you don’t even want to utter one extra word?"
"I don’t mind if she calls my title or not, just calling me aunt is enough, isn’t it Guoguo?" The Second Princess inserted her round head.
Guoguo again cheerfully called aunt.
The Princely Heir was delighted, extended his arms and held her, "Call Dad."
"Dad." Guoguo hugged the Princely Heir’s neck and even kissed his face.
The Princely Heir smiled joyfully.
Prince Luling and his wife also smiled and taught her to call people, she clearly called "Granny, Grandpa."
Li Yuzhu brought the goat milk to feed her, without prompting, she smiled and called "Auntie."
"So obedient, no wonder I cherish you." Li Yuzhu stroked her smooth little face.
Everyone was called except for Xue Family.
Xue Family was even more embarrassed, walked up and reached out to hold her, "Come, Guoguo, call Mom, Mom will hold you."
Guoguo turned her head away, clinging to the Princely Heir’s neck and refusing to let go.
"Stubborn girl, I gave birth to you for nothing!" She angrily reached out to pinch Guoguo.
Blocked by Li Yuzhu’s hand, "Big sister-in-law, she’s only seven months old, why are you bothered by her?"
"She’s my daughter, shouldn’t I be bothered? Do you know how hard it was for me when I gave birth to her?" Xue Family gritted her teeth angrily.
"You know it was hard to give birth to her, so why did you rashly decide you didn’t want her that day?" Li Yuzhu coldly said, "After giving birth, you don’t want her anymore, treating a child as a toy?"
When that day’s event was mentioned, others who were laughing suddenly stopped.
Xue Family’s face turned extremely embarrassed, "I... I was confused at the time."
"You speak as if other mothers haven’t faced difficulties, like you’re the only one in the world who’s urgent and troubled?" Li Yuzhu placed the bowl on the table and took Guoguo from the Princely Heir, "Come on, let’s drink milk."
They argued again, afraid his mother would scold him, Li Jing wisely ran off, sitting by the table blowing on his bowl of milk.
"A dog, you kick it twice, it’ll remember to be afraid, knows to avoid the person, let alone a person? You hurt Guoguo’s heart, Xue Family!" Princess Consort Luling glanced at Xue Family coldly.
A seven-month-old child, what can she remember?
Xue Family dared not confront her mother-in-law, thinking internally, most likely someone secretly prompted her daughter!
Trying to alienate her from her daughter!
Her gaze paused on Li Yuzhu for a moment, then resentfully moved away.
"About such a serious matter, is it worth getting angry about? Kids, just cajole them, it’ll be over in a few days." The Princely Heir comforted Xue Family.
Xue Family glared at him and turned her head away.
Li Yuzhu fed Guoguo with a small spoon, little by little, and Guoguo ate deliciously.
Li Jing was close to tears because his milk hadn’t cooled down yet.
The Second Princess blinked at him, "Jingjing, let your second aunt help you blow it cooler?"
The Great Princess sneered, "Afraid she’ll blow half into your stomach, right?"
The Second Princess blushed, "I won’t, you’re talking nonsense!"
The Great Princess rolled her eyes, "Haha, back in Prince Mansion, stealing Jingjing’s snacks, you weren’t shy, were you!"
The Second Princess pouted, "That was because Jingjing couldn’t finish them, I saw it was a waste so I ate them. But since coming to Zhen An Prefecture, I haven’t eaten a single thing from Jingjing."
"What, you want to snatch once more?" The Great Princess pinched her belly, "Look at you, getting any fatter, you’ll need new skirts again. Still think you’re a Princess with money to buy new clothes every month? Spendthrift girl!"
The Second Princess sighed, "..." She didn’t want to get fatter either!
Guoguo had already finished eating, Li Yuzhu handed Guoguo to the Second Princess, "Sister, hold Guoguo more, it’s good for losing weight."
The Second Princess looked at the little baby in her arms, "..."
Well-fed, Guoguo was in a good mood, using her little hands to continuously pinch the Second Princess’s belly fat.
The Great Princess saw and laughed, "Little sister, see? Guoguo dislikes the fat on your belly too."
The Second Princess’s face looked more embarrassed, "Nonsense, she’s playing with the skirt."
The Great Princess, "Hehehe!"
Li Yuzhu took Li Jing’s spoon, gently stirring the milk and blowing it.
With both methods, the milk in the bowl cooled down quickly.
Li Jing happily drank.
After finishing, he was still licking the bowl, "Goat milk smells so good, will there be more tomorrow? Auntie?"
Li Yuzhu smiled, "There will be, every day."
Li Jing was overjoyed, "That’s fantastic."
The Princely Heir took his two younger brothers, cut some grass to feed the sheep, and chopped some deadwood to heat water.
After the family washed and cleaned themselves, they went to sleep.
Early tomorrow, they would move to the new house at the foot of the hill, everyone was excited, unable to sleep, chatting away.
As usual, the Great Princess argued with the Second Princess, the Second Young Master argued with Li Xing’an.
The Princely Heir talked about his sisters at one moment and then about his brothers at another.
The cave was as noisy as a court.
Prince Luling had a headache from the noise, covering his ears with his hands wasn’t effective either.
He shouted coldly, "No talking at bedtime, sleep!"
The noise stopped abruptly.
But soon, the children started whispering again.
Gradually, whispering turned into talking again, and the noise grew.
Prince Luling, "..." Why didn’t he have fewer children?
Then he thought, his cousins had taken quite a few concubines, their children and grandchildren numbered over a hundred at most, and dozens at least.
He was startled, luckily he didn’t take concubines!
The next day was a good day.
No one urged, the family got up one by one.
They washed up faster than usual.
In a bad mood, Xue Family, at Li Yuzhu’s urging, made porridge.
Li Yuzhu made pancakes.
Everyone ate breakfast in a few bites and began to tidy up the items.
At this moment, Mu Yuanxiu came over.
