“Neen, we’re having guests over today, and your older brother has to entertain them, so he’s busy.”
“How about a couple of days?”
Zhan Muchen asked the little guy as he drove.
Neen said, “Didn’t you say it’s Yangyang’s cousin? Yangyang’s cousin isn’t an outsider; he’s family.”
He’d known Yangyang’s cousin as family since he could remember.
“Yangyang’s cousin brought two important guests! Look, your uncle, aunt, and me—why aren’t we at work today?”
“It’s summer vacation!”
Neen said matter-of-factly. “Why work on summer vacation?”
Zhan Muchenughed. “You students get summer vacation, but your older brother doesn’t. We still have to work.”
“Your older brother doesn’t get summer vacation? Then…”
“We’re not working today specifically to entertain our important guests.”
Neen gave a half-understanding “Oh. ”
The elders in the family asionally entertained guests.
Whenever guests came, his parents would always remind him beforehand not to cause trouble.
He didn’t cause any trouble at all; he’s been incredibly well-behaved. At most, he’d smear his mom’s cosmetics all over the walls and floor, and stain his dad’s suit.
Or he’d stuff the family pet dog and cat into his backpack and take it to kindergarten to show off to his ssmates.
His pets are so cute and beautiful; he loves them dearly.
And then there’s the koi from the garden pond. He scooped one up and put it in his backpack to take to kindergarten, but when the teacher found out, the fish was dead.
The teacher called his mom and said he’d put another pet in his backpack—a fish—but it was dead.His mother was both amused and exasperated.
After that, every morning before he left for kindergarten, the adults in the family would repeatedly check his schoolbag to make sure it wasn’t stuffed with small animals or other things.
“How about Monday? We’ll definitely arrange for you and your brother to go to Uncle Liu’s house on Monday, okay? Your older brother can call your other brothers tonight and ask if they’reing back.”
“Can’t it be tomorrow? If I go a dayter, Meng-gege will have one more day to keep my sister.”
The little guy was anxious, wishing he could sprout wings and fly to H City immediately.
Especially after hearing that Su Meng had already gone, he became even more anxious.
Zhan Muchen deliberately teased him: “What will you do when your Meng-gege bes your brother-inw and spends his whole life with your sister?”
“Wherever my sister goes, I’ll go.”
Zhan Muchenughed heartily.
When Bei Bei got married, Xiao Shijiu was her dowry.
Su Meng’s face could turn as ck as charcoal.
“You can’t stay with your sister forever. She’ll get married.”
“Big brother, what does ‘getting married’ mean? Why does my sister have to get married?”
Zhan Muchen exined with a smile, “It means your sister will marry your brother Meng, and then she’ll go live with him and spend her life with him. That’s called getting married.”
“Brother Meng is trying to take my sister back to his house! He doesn’t have a sister, so he’s trying to take mine! Big brother, aren’t you going to do anything about it? Can you please stop Brother Meng froming to our house?”
“Can I not let my sister get married?”
“Sure, we’ll let your future brother-inwe live with us and be our son-inw. That way, my sister won’t have to leave us.”
