“How come I didn’t know that?”
“If you knew, I’d have to beat you up!”
“I don’t believe yoU!”
As the two brothers bickered, the Cheng’s couple smiled. Cheng Xiao
Xiao glanced at her own little sister and knew exactly how Cheng Zheng Yuan
felt. “I believe it….”
The two brothers didn’t expect Cheng Xiao Xiao to chime in and both
turned to look at her. Little Zheng Bin exclaimed, “Big sister, how do you
know?!”
“Oh?” Little Zheng Bin rolled his eyes, “How is that possible? Maybe I
have kicked older brother a few times here and there. How could I have kicked you?”
“Who said it was you who kicked me?” Cheng Xiao Xiao reached out and
drummed on his little head with her knuckles, “You think you are the only one
who knows how to kick? Little Lan Lan was as strong as you in her kickings!”
“Big sister, did I really kick you? How come I don’t remember any of
it?” Little Lan Lan, who was curled up in her mother’s arms widened her eyes;
her little face baffled, she was never aware of that.
“Of course it’s true!” said both Cheng Xiao Xiao and Cheng Zheng Yuan
both said affirmatively.
“Ho ho ho…”
The Cheng’s couple laughed. Mrs. Cheng cupped her youngest daughter’s
little face in her hand and said lovingly, “That’s how little kids sleep. They
always kick in their sleep and kick those sleeping next to them.”
“You guys will soon sleep in your own bed, this won’t ever happen
again!”
Cheng Biyuan looked at his kids in front of him. A flash of guilt
passed through his eyes. If it was others’ kids, they’d have their own place
when they turn five. Whereas his own kids were still sleeping in the same bed
after ten; that surely was very inconvenient.
“In the next day or two, I’ll review the lunar calendar with Patriarch
Lui. If there’s a good day on the calendar, we will move in in the next day or
so. With our current situation, we can skip having a while banquet; we will
just have the villagers over for a meal!”
“Dad!”
Hearing what her father had said, Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned a little and
said, “In my opinion, let’s skip the meal altogether for now. We are still a
month or two away from completion. Let’s wait until the entire construction is
done. Even though we have a lot of people right now, it’s still a hassle to
have a feast.”
“Well, this….”
“Mom, dad, don’t worry too much. Let’s think about what’s the most
convenient for us right now!”
The Cheng’s couple exchanged a look and Cheng Biyuan nodded, “Okay,
let’s follow Xiao Xiao’s suggestion then. We will move in first and invite
everyone over for dinner after our construction is completed.”
“Oh, by the way, mom, dad, there are a few helpers that we will need
to fire!” Cheng Xiao Xiao remembered the few helpers who were slower or
sloppier.
Cheng Biyuan replied casually, “Okay, you and your mother can take
care of that.”
“Xiao Xiao, you are referring to the few from Willow Village, aren’t
you?” asked Mrs. Cheng in a soft voice.
With the exception of the few that were brought back by Cheng Xiao
Xiao, the rest are the big kids from Willow. Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded at her
mother’s obvious question.
“Mom, we are not here to raise kids for others. If they can’t cut it,
we can’t keep them. We have already stated this explicitly!”
“Hmm, alright. Let’s at least give them some compensation then!” Mrs. Cheng
understood that Cheng Xiao Xiao only have the family’s best interest in mind
and nodded.
Cheng Xiao Xiao thought about it for a while and said, “Okay, let’s
invite Patriarch Liu over tomorrow. It’s better with him around!”
“Okay!”
The entire family agreed that Patriarch Liu was quite authoritative
among the villagers.
