Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Smoothly Calling Out to Big Brother and Second Brother
Tao Ti carried a bag in one hand, which contained Clownfish, Xiao Ni, and Xiao Mo. She initially wanted to bring the fish tank, but Grandpa Fensi said there was a big one at home, like a wall, and she only needed to bring Xiao Ni and Xiao Mo.
In her other hand, she held her first ever plush toy, a teddy bear wearing a pink knitted sweater.
She looked nervously at Grandpa Fensi beside her and asked, “Is Grandma really my fan? Can I call her Grandma too?”
“She’s your Fan Grandma! More hardcore than me! Feel free to call her Grandma, she’ll only be delighted!”
“I’ve prepared a gift for Grandma, I hope she’ll like it!” Tao Ti smiled, her eyes bending as she glanced at her bulging pocket.
Tao Mo felt a bit jealous. Why didn’t Grandpa have a present?
He curiously asked, “What did you bring for her?”
Seeing her hands were full, Tao Ti could only smile mysteriously, “It’s a secret!”
Tao Mo reached out and tapped Tao Ti’s nose, saying irritably, “Smart aleck!”
Cheng Guodong and Qin Xin followed behind, with Cheng Guodong lowering his voice, “Is this really okay?”
Qin Xin pursed her lips, gesturing towards the two ahead, “Look how close they are. Blood relations aren’t something we can stop if they want to get close.”
“Man, this old guy is unreliable,” Cheng Guodong muttered gloomily.
Qin Xin shrugged, “He’s helping her temporarily forget the grief of losing her grandfather. Look, she’s smiling.”
Under the warm sun, the old man gently tapped Little Taotie’s nose, muttering, “Smart aleck!” Little Taotie liked this affectionate gesture, noting the flower on Grandpa Fensi’s head swaying joyfully, as if dancing, dimpling his cheeks with a smile.
Seeing this, Cheng Guodong’s heart felt even more stifled, feeling very envious of the old man.
“If only my mom had agreed to have a sister for me back then, that would have been great!” Cheng Guodong lamented, “I finally found a sister for myself, and then an old man whisked her away! So frustrating!”
Qin Xin also felt some imbalance, pouting, “Not just an old man, but two older brothers too!”
Cheng Guodong slapped his forehead, “I almost forgot! Tao Bin, that rascal in the mountains, is not a threat! But that Tao Shen…”
Thinking of Tao Shen competing to serve his sister dishes at the Peking duck restaurant, he became cautious, “That kid is tough to deal with, young but like an old hand in society, knows when to hold and when to fold, very impressive!”
Qin Xin squinted his eyes, grinning, “For us, it means we have gained two younger brothers.”
Cheng Guodong paused, facing Qin Xin’s grinning face, he muttered, “Second brother, you must be up to something again, aren’t you?”
Qin Xin grinned, “What’s wrong with having another little brother?”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Guodong laughed, “The original eldest must be feeling really chocked now, with two big mountains like us on top of him. Later, I’ll have him call me ‘big brother’ a few more times!”
Tao Shen opened the door, and before Cheng Guodong and Qin Xin could speak, he naturally said, “Big brother, second brother, please come in. What would you like to drink? I think big brother would definitely like tea, and second brother would prefer coffee, I’m prepared!”
Impressive! Cheng Guodong reevaluated this slickest kid once more.
Qin Xin grinned, appreciating him even more in his mind.
Cheng Guodong and Qin Xin exchanged glances, both somewhat resigned.
They had intended to put this cheeky kid in his place, expecting him to grudgingly call them big brother and second brother, but this kid turned out to be so slick!
