216 Good Looking Cousins
Lu Jiao also turned to stare at Xie Yunjin in shock. However, she understood what he was thinking very quickly. Xie Yunjin and her were considered separated and he had no intention of giving her custody of the four little ones. Therefore, he must learn how to take care of the four little ones rather than figure it out after Lu Jiao leaves.
Lu Jiao understood him and she didn’t hate the idea. She planned on moving into the city anyways.
The three businesses she planned to start with Zhao Lingfeng will be opened in the City of Xian. Plus, she already decided to buy land in the Qinghe District.
Since her life will mostly be in the City of Xian, it was good for her to move there.
Inside the living room, Lady Tian peeked at Lu Jiao. Since Lu Jiao didn’t really react, she figured the couple had discussed this beforehand. She asked caringly, “Don’t you need to rent a house before moving?”
Xie Yunjin nodded, “Yes, I’m going to ask people to help me look for a place to rent. When the time comes, the children and Lu Jiao will come with me.”
Lady Tian felt like this was a good idea. This way, the family didn’t have to separate.
Lu Danian also thought that was a good idea. Only Xie Tieniu was worried. If the third aunt moved to Xian City, what about the leeches they were going to raise?
He then remembered Xie Erzhu and stopped worrying. It was likely that Uncle Erzhu already learned all the necessary skills. They didn’t need to worry.
Once the four children learned that they could accompany their dad into the city, they were thrilled. They struggled out of Lu Gui’s arms and ran to Xie Yunjin to confirm excitedly, “Daddy, are you for real? We can move into the city with you?!”
Xie Yunjin patted their heads, “Yes, let’s move into the city together.”
“Then, can I go play at your school?”
“Of course.”
“You promised you’d take us to visit the city.”
“Once we move there, I’ll show you around.”
“Okay!”
The four little ones’ eyes curled into crescents. Just then, from outside the living room, a few heads popped in to stare.
When Lady Tian saw them, she called out to them, “Huzi, Taozi, come in and say hi to your aunt and uncle.”
Five-year-old Huzi and two-year-old Taozi walked. Taozi had recently learned how to walk and enjoyed running after Huzi. Right now, they were both messy in the hair and dusty on the face.
The two children ran inside and greeted, “Auntie, uncle.”
The soft and cute-looking Taozi attracted Lu Jiao’s attention. Little Taozi looked somewhat like Lu Jiao, which garnered much of Lu Jiao’s affection. She gestured for Taozi to come to her.
“Are you Taozi?”
Taozi’s large eyes blinked as she nodded, “I’m Tao… Taozi, on-ti-e.”
Lu Jiao took out a handkerchief to dust off the dirt on Taozi’s face. Taozi stared at Lu Jiao with her large eyes. What a kind on-ti-e.”
Lu Jiao then got out some candy for Taozi. Behind her, Huzi pouted in anger. Luckily, he didn’t come to take the candy for himself.
Lu Jiao didn’t plan on giving the kid a hard time. She grabbed more candy for Huzi.
Huzi rushed over to snatch them away. His little face finally calmed down.
Lady Tian asked Huzi to take the children to go out and play.
“Huzi, take your little brothers to go play in the yard.”
Huzi’s face dropped and he glared coldly at the four little ones, “Hmmph, I will not.”
He then ran away.
Because of those four cousins of his, he got beaten up by his mother many times. His mother told him she didn’t want him anymore and wanted to toss him into the trash. She would rather take one of the little cousins from his aunt’s place to replace him.
He had finally put faces to these cousins. He didn’t think much of them. They were pretty looking, like girls. Boys who do not look like boys did not deserve playtime with him.
Taozi stumbled her way over to stare at the four little ones. These four cousins sure were good-looking.
“Taozi will p-play. Taozi will play with you.”
Taozi then grabbed the First Born’s hand, “Big brother, let’s go p-play!”
The First Born looked towards Lu Jiao, who smiled, “Go ahead and play with your cousins in the yard.”
Lady Tian also grinned, “Go and play. But don’t go far. It’s almost time for lunch.”
“Okay, grandma.”
The four little ones went out with Taozi. The adults in the living room started to chat again. This time, they talked about the Lu family’s tofu making business.
“I’ve been doing as you instructed. Every day, I make around 300 pounds of tofu. The three brothers each take 100 pounds to sell. The crumbs are fed to the pigs. Whatever’s leftover is sold to the villagers.”
Lu Danian then added to Lu Jiao, “Thank you Jiaojiao, for coming up with this business for us. We really need to thank you.”
Lu Jiao shook her head, “I’m happy that your lives are easier.”
Just then, she remembered that when Lu Gui visited, she had told him about the leech-keeping business. She figured that the Lu family would definitely want in. who knew that the Lu family would never send messages? Lu Jiao turned to Lu Gui, “Last time, I told you about the leech-making business. How come I never heard back?”
Though the tofu-making business was great, there were three brothers and they had the manpower to do something more. She didn’t expect that they would say no.
Lu Gui was about to speak when the first and second aunts walked in.
“Mom, food is ready. We made some noodles and two dishes. The boys must be hungry so they should eat now. We’ll cook more dishes for dinner.”
Before Lady Tian could answer, Lu Jiao answered, “Sure. Thank you, sisters-in-law.”
The sisters-in-law waved their hands, “Sister, no need to be so polite with us.”
They’ve been finding their young sister-in-law maturing. She was no longer unreasonable and feisty like before.
Lu Jiao didn’t say more. They were a family and there was truly no need for so much etiquette. She called Xie Yunjin and Xie Tieniu to have lunch, then went into the yard to get the boys.
The four little ones were very intrigued by their grandma’s donkey and the stone mill. They sat and observed for a long time.
When they returned to the living room, they said, “Mommy, grandma has a donkey and a stone mill. Taozi said they are used to make tofu.”
Lady Tian grinned and hugged the boys, “This afternoon, I’ll make you soybean milk.”
“Okay!”
After lunch, Lady Tian was worried about Xie Yunjin’s legs and asked Lu Gui to give Xie Yunjin a place to rest. Xie Yunjin hesitated but didn’t say anything more.
Lady Tian then asked Lu Danian to take Xie Tieniu to rest. Lu Danian happily accommodated.
The aunts picked up the four little ones with much excitement, “Come, come, come play with your aunt and uncle.”
The two women planned to carry the boys around town and show them off.
Behind them, Taozi pitifully chased after her own mother, “Mommy, me, me, what about me?”
Sadly, her mother had forgotten about her own daughter.
Back in the living room, Lady Tian pulled Lu Jiao into her room and the two chatted in low voices.
“I heard from your brother that the last time he visited, Yunjin was very warm towards him and acted like they were family. How come today, he went back to treating me courteously? What happened?”
