Six years later
Six years passed in a flash. Lin Lixuan’s eldest son, Lin Zixing, nicknamed Guagua1, had grown from a little baby who could only cry, to a small child who was disliked. He was a very energetic child and didn’t even run out of breath after running around in the yard a few times. If an adult ran behind him, they would lose him if they weren’t careful.
He walked like he was flying with an agile posture. Speaking of this little thing, when he was in his daddy’s belly, he already showed his energetic self. In his daddy’s womb, he’d already learned how to use his fist. At the age of one, he’d already practiced how to “turn” and use “martial arts” in his crib. During the day, he would cry for someone to hold him. At night, he was so energetic and refreshed and had to be coaxed. Lin Lixuan, who was in the prime of his life, was going gray from worrying about the boy. He really wanted to stuff him back into his daddy’s womb.
The little brat had a loud voice. His shouts were so deafening that the entire family woke up from it. His cry was comparable to a pig being killed. No, it was even more lethal than a pig’s cry. Since he had experienced his son’s magical sounds, Lin Lixuan was able to face pig killing more calmly now.
“Fortunately, our house is a separate compound or else our neighbors will be knocking on our doors every day. This little devil!”
Guagua inherited his daddy’s good appetite. He ate twice the amount of other children. His small arms and legs were strong and powerful. When he was one to two years old, an adult could still control him. At four to five, even three adults couldn’t catch him. They were about to go crazy!
Today he would go to this house to tease the big white goose. Tomorrow, he would go to that house to poke the big yellow dog. He didn’t have any fear. He became a well-known little star of destruction. One family’s cow saw him and took a detour. Guagua’s face was seventy percent similar to Lin Lixuan’s. He held a piece of grass he’d gotten from somewhere and munched on it. He spit the grass out and shouted behind him. “Didi2, I’m going to explore the rivers and lakes. Go home and wait there obediently! Wait for me to come back!”
Guagua’s words carried over in the wind. It was quite strong and quickly disappeared. The cool breeze blew into his hair. The corners of his sky blue shirt was also blown by the wind. His handsome and flamboyant facial features looked even more sassy in the cold wind. He looked like a brave knight who was about to die. The Lin family’s courtyard was full of purple and red flowers that were in bloom. The flowers swayed in the wind, as if sending the big hero off.
Only a few flowers in the corner of the courtyard were lost. The roots were exposed in the sun. The dogs gnawed on the remaining petals. It looked desolate, like it was crying and fleeing from a skillful murderer.
“Gege! I dun wanna you go!”
A small winter melon walked unsteadily and chased him out. Lin Lixuan, who was watching this little winter melon, hurriedly followed him. This little winter melon was Lin Lixuan and Ger Yan’s second born child. His official name was Lin Han, and his nickname was Miaomiao3. He was a little Shuang’er with a red mole between his eyebrows. He was less than four years old. Compared to his demon brother, he was both well-behaved and cute. Anyone who saw him couldn’t help but hug and kiss this little thing. He was simply the treasure of his family.
Lin Lixuan: Fortunately, the second child isn’t like the eldest. If there was another melon baby like Guagua, his hair would be completely white by now!
Compared to his big brother, Miaomiao was as well-behaved as a little angel. This made Lin Lixuan feel at ease. But their little baby didn’t stick to any adult and insisted on sticking to his big brother like a glutinous rice dumpling. He was clamoring all day long to play with his brother. He wanted to follow his brother wherever he went…
Miaomiao grabbed his fist. His black eyes flashed like stars. No matter what, he had to be with his brother!
Guagua: …Didi, just let me go.
Guagua, who thought that he was doing his duty as an elder brother by taking care of his younger brother for most of the day, finally got permission from his father, Lin Lixuan, to go out to the rivers and lakes to “wander around”. He was released from prison—In fact, he took his younger brother a bunch of times to dig out birds’ nests and chase dogs in Jade Creek Village. They played king of the mountain and his little minion for a while too.
But Guagua’s character was more fickle than a dog’s. When he left, he called out to his little sticky rice dumpling of a brother. He almost couldn’t leave.
My little brothers are waiting for me! The arrow had been strung. Guagua asked his father for help with pleading eyes. “Father, you promised to let me go play. You can’t go back on your word!” ！
The corners of Lin Lixuan’s forehead jumped. He couldn’t wait for this demon child to leave. As a father, he was home alone today to take care of the two brothers. He was so busy he could barely breathe. “Stop talking nonsense. Go quickly! If you don’t leave now, you can stay with your younger brother!”
“I’m leaving now. Didi, wait for me to return!”
Guagua turned around triumphantly and strode away with his short legs like he was an adult.
“Gege! Don’t leave! Ahhh!”
Miaomiao’s little hand clenched the threshold. His father wanted to carry him back, but he refused to let go. He wanted to go with his brother…
“My little baby, let’s go back. Be good! Your brother will be back later… Your daddy is returning soon too. Come with me and wait for daddy inside the house with me! ！ ！ Be good. Don’t cry!” Lin Lixuan wanted to take Miaomiao back inside, but this little thing wasn’t small. He grabbed the threshold and didn’t let go. He was reluctant to use his strength, for fear of hurting the little guy. He could only watch him cry as a headache formed. The little bean was like a bubbling mess. It made Lin Lixuan, a father, feel very distressed.
Miaomiao cried out. The traces of ink on his face melted away by his sweat and tears. He looked like a black and white cat. It was all that brat’s doing. Lin Lixuan had asked Guagua to watch his younger brother, only for him to leave after a while. Miaomiao’s beautiful little face was drawn to his brother. Miaomiao didn’t understand anything. He just felt happy when he was playing with his brother. The brat smirked at his father with a naughty face. Lin Lixuan saw it. Not to mention how naughty he was being, he wanted to swipe it away. Miaomiao still didn’t give up and Lin Lixuan decided to call out that brat.
The child couldn’t be beaten or scolded. He was still “bullying his father”. When Ger Yan returned, he must isolate the two brothers and take severe measures against the brat, Guagua!
“Father will take you to wipe your face. Be good and don’t cry anymore…”
“What’s wrong? Why is Miaomiao crying like this?” When Lin Lixuan and his family were at a stalemate, Ger Yan and Ger Yu returned from the county town on an ox cart. When Miaomiao saw his Daddy return, he finally diverted his attention. He let go of his father and threw himself into Ger Yan’s arms with a sad face. “Ahh…Daddy!”
Ger Yu went to the county town today to talk about business. The ready-to-wear store he and Ger Qiu co-funded opened three years ago. Now, everyone called Ger Yan Boss Jin. Ger Yan’s ready-to-wear store made clothes with novel styles and variety. The clothes they released sold very well. This was also a blessing given by Lin Lixuan’s storytelling building. The number of tourists who came to All Water County to listen to the plays and stories increased. The flow of visitors was large.
Ger Yan took Miaomiao and saw his son’s pretty little face. “What’s wrong?”
Miaomiao had already cried himself silly.
Ger Yu snorted and laughed. “Brother-in-law, how did Miaomiao become like this?”
“It’s all because of that troublemaker! That little brat!” Lin Lixuan had a stomach full of bitterness he wanted to release.
Guagua was naughty and mischievous. Even Ger Yan couldn’t control him. The three of them had a headache whenever they thought of this little overlord.
“Be good, don’t cry… Let’s head inside.”
Ger Yu had been in the Lin residence for many years and had turned it into a beautiful and gorgeous Songyun Bookstore. He followed Lin Lixuan to learn how to read and write. Now, he’d become an important steward of Songyun Bookstore. He supervised the work of the printing workshop and dealt with manuscripts others gave them.
He had reached the age of marriage. When he was 15-16, many people came to the Lin family to ask for marriage, but he refused. His deed of sale was in his own hands. The Lin family didn’t force him to marry. He had to be with who he liked.
“Are your wedding clothes ready?”
“Not yet! I have a pattern I don’t know how to do. Ge, you have to help me!!!”
“Bring it to me and let me see.”
In two months, Ger Yu would get married. The person he was marrying… Speaking of which, it was bad luck.
The story of Ger Yu and his partner, when examined, was the topic of much gossip. One was a foolish nobleman who’d failed at submitting his manuscripts many times, and the other was a responsible editor with a sharp and bewitching tongue…
The author has something to say: Happy new year to everyone!!
And we’re done! That was a super abrupt ending…
