"Cousin-in-law!" Luo Linhao came from the front yard, teased the two little dumplings for a moment, then said, "I think thereās something even funnier than what youāve heard, just not sure if youāre interested in hearing it?"
"What is it?"
Yang Chuxia glanced at him upon hearing this and then turned her attention back to the two little dumplings. She had noticed that over the past few days the children were sleeping less, staying awake for long periods once they opened their eyes, not seeming to look at anything in particular, just clutching their little fists and waving them around, thoroughly enjoying their own playtime.
If someone teased them with an object, they would just keep staring at you.
"About my cousin?"
"Your cousin?" Yang Chuxia looked up at the person beside her, Ye Ziāan, "Do you have something that makes you the butt of a joke?"
Ye Ziāan appeared quite clueless and calmly said, "Not at all!" He then pulled out a book from behind and started to read the "Three Character Classic".
Yang Chuxia couldnāt help but feel a rush of emotions. I know youāre overexcited about being a new father, but you canāt still be this excited, can you?
The child canāt even speak yet, itās still ten days shy of two months old. Youāre already reading the "Three Character Classic" to him, are you sure he understands?
"Tsk, tsk, cousin, you shouldnāt deny it!" Luo Linhao then picked up a piece of candy from the table, put it in his mouth, and found it quite tastyāsour and sweet, no wonder Yunyun liked it so much. After tossing in two more pieces, he finally said, "Iāve heard that in Capital City, a young lady gave my cousin a gift. Although my cousin refused it, I still find it very funny..."
He couldnāt help laughing before he even finished his sentence.
Yang Chuxia gently tugged at one of the little dumplingsā hands, "Yangyang, your Uncle is being silly."
"Ah," the little dumpling responded to her.
"Yangyang, youāre awesome!" Yang Chuxia kissed the little dumplingās fist. "Do you agree with Mommy? Uncle is very silly, right?"
The little dumpling responded with a big smile.
Delighted, she kissed the little dumplingās cheek again.
While the mother and son were having a blast, the father and other son were completely unfazed by their surroundingsāYe Ziāan quietly read his book, while the other little dumpling clenched his fist and looked up at the book in Ye Ziāanās hands; if you didnāt know better, you might think he was really engrossed in listening.
Seeing that no one else had much of a reaction, Luo Linhao felt pretty bored, so he stopped laughing and snorted, "I heard that in Capital City, a young lady gave my cousin whitening cream and freckle-removing cream made by Brother Shaoling, worth a hundred silver taels per bottle."
"Oh," Yang Chuxia responded calmly and then turned to ask Ye Ziāan, "Did someone really give you that?"
Ye Ziāan was a bit surprised and then nodded.
"Then why didnāt you accept it?"
Ye Ziāan shifted his gaze from the book, "Was I supposed to accept it?"
Yang Chuxia nodded firmly, "Of course you should accept it! A hundred silver taels a bottle, two bottles are two hundred silver taels. Two hundred silver taels, oh, thatās enough for Lele and Yangyangās tuition fees when they go to school in the future."
"Really?" Ye Ziāan cracked a slight smile, "Next time something like this happens, Iāll remember to accept it and hand it over to you to manage, to help save up for our sonās tuition fees."
"Exactly, thatās the way!" Yang Chuxia said, pulling at Yangyang again, "Sweetheart, look how much Mommy loves you, starting to save for your tuition fees from now on. You must study hard in the future, just like your dad."
Luo Linhao, standing nearby, was already dumbfounded, watching the two go back and forth, he finally shuddered, turned, and walked out the door. He felt he just couldnāt take it anymoreātwo fools together were a sight for sore eyes and sore ears.
