Chapter 771 - 370: Three Little Guards (For Xiao Huaner+) _1
Jingjing stood there cheering for her brothers and the children of the House of Animals when she saw Huang Lingling approaching, she ran over to greet her, saying with a bow, "Sister-in-law, how are you?" She looked over at the three little girls behind her and then smiled with pursed lips, "The little nieces have grown again."
Huang Liangdi laughed and touched Jingjing’s little face, saying, "Jingjing is growing to look more and more like a little lady."
She let the wet nurse squat down for Jingjing to have a look at the little princess, then she entered the main room. On the heated brick bed of the east-side room, five or six little babies were crawling, including the son of Liang Jinyu, while several mothers were discussing child-rearing experiences.
After greetings were exchanged, Huang Liangdi entered the bedroom and was even more surprised. Next to the crib, Brother Cheng and Brother Xin were actually standing holding onto the rail. They were like two little guards for their sister, not allowing anyone to approach her, and if anyone dared to come close, they would get upset at them.
A few adults further from the bed teased the little brothers, trying to get closer. With every move they made, the brothers’ faces turned red as they shouted, "Sister, Ji Ji (Self) sister..."
If anyone persisted in trying to come closer, they would start to scream and cry, leaving Qian Yixiu lying on the bed feeling quite helpless.
The night Si Jiejie was born, the little brothers even managed to sneak into her delivery room in the back courtyard while the wet nurse wasn’t looking. They couldn’t get over the high threshold, so they cleverly lay down, crawled over, then got up and walked.
They were still four days shy of their first birthday, and previously, with an adult holding them, they could walk a dozen steps but had never walked on their own, which surprised everyone in the room. The little brothers paid no attention to the others but came to Qian Yixiu’s bedside and, with tears in their eyes, called out, "Mother, milk, hungry."
Qian Yixiu had previously taught the little brothers to speak, to call her mother, but they wouldn’t say it. Yet today, missing their mother, they not only came on their own but also spoke for the first time, expressing their own desires.
