Hearing Chu Lian’s words, everyone was stunned, not expecting Chu Lian to care about that. Xiaoxiao quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Fufu, what did you used to call him?"
"But he is about the same age as your brother-in-law, what do you think you should call him?"
Fufu’s little eyes spun around as if he were thinking, his childlike appearance exceedingly loveable. After a moment, he spoke, "Then I’ll also call him brother-in-law."
"..." As these words came out, Wang Xiangxiang’s face turned slightly red. Knowing her brother meant no harm, but brother-in-law implied her husband, she immediately retorted, "Don’t call him brother-in-law."
"Oh." Seeing his sister angered, Fufu immediately agreed.
Chu Lian originally also felt awkward about the term brother-in-law, but now that Wang Xiangxiang had said it, he suddenly found it more agreeable to be called brother-in-law.
"Uncle, my sister said not to call you brother-in-law, so let’s call you brother."
"..." Out of helplessness, Chu Lian had to agree, "Okay, call me brother."
Little Fufu continued, "Sister Xiaoxiao, brother said that there are many kids my age in the countryside, where are they? I really want to play with them."
"Then Sister Xiaoxiao will take you to find them." Xiaoxiao turned and said to everyone, "Let’s head straight to the rental courtyard."
Everyone nodded in agreement and walked towards the rental courtyard.
As soon as they reached the courtyard gate, they first encountered Dahuang and Xiaobai. Little Fuyou hugged Xiaoxiao tightly out of fear. Xiaoxiao consoled him, "These are Dahuang and Xiaobai, don’t be afraid, they are very friendly."
After speaking, she gestured to Dahuang and Xiaobai not to come closer. Dahuang and Xiaobai quietly crouched by the side, Xiaoxiao carrying Fufu into the courtyard.
Little Fufu looked back at the two dogs, puzzled, and then asked, "Sister Xiaoxiao, that is clearly a black dog, why call it Xiaobai, not Xiaohui, or Duhui?"
Children are like that, if they don’t understand something, they just ask, they don’t keep it bottled up inside.
The few people nearby were all waiting to see how Xiaoxiao would respond.
"..." She felt a bit embarrassed being stared at. How was she supposed to explain? She had just whimsically picked the name on a whim?
"You should ask your brother-in-law about this, your brother-in-law named it." Xiaoxiao had no choice but to shift the blame.
Yang Ming, whose name was mentioned, widened his eyes. His wife was pushing the blame onto him, he had no idea why his wife chose that name. Seeing Fufu’s sincere eyes clearly waiting for his response,
"Because, because your Sister Xiaoxiao likes white." Yang Ming had to make up any reason.
"..." Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian were speechless. These two were really casual!
The group soon entered the house, where Li Fugui was teaching three little ones how to read. Seeing them arrive, they all paused.
Fufu, seeing the three little ones, was visibly excited and immediately ran over, "What are you learning? Can I join?"
Wang Xiangxiang immediately scolded, "Fufu, be polite. Have you greeted the adults?"
Only then did Fufu turn his head and see Li Fugui, hearing his sister continue, "You have something in common. His name also has ’Fu’ in it. He is called Li Fugui, the ’Fugui’ you are talking about."
Fufu’s little brain started to think again, and after a moment he called out, "Uncle."
Chu Lian was quite happy to hear this, not just he was called uncle, Li Fugui was too, but the happiness lasted only a few seconds till he heard the child continue, "Is he Daddy?"
