Chapter 320 Could she be an idiot?
Gu Xiaoman wiped her sweat, took a piece of pastry from Aunt Gu as a snack, and then ran back to the second bedroom to see her younger brother and mother.
Gu Ersao was unable to speak; she was originally an extremely quiet person.
The little goldfish was precocious and composed, and had spoken for a short while earlier.
Now, Raindrop has fallen asleep and has been placed in the cradle. Little Goldfish sits beside her, gently rocking the cradle with his little hands.
The raindrops felt comfortable, and even in their sleep, they unconsciously twitched the corners of their mouths and smiled.
Although Little Goldfish was the oldest among his peers, his younger sister was only a quarter of an hour younger than him, and they grew up together. Although Xiaoman was two years younger than him, he was only three years old at the time and had no memory of being a baby.
So now I'm especially curious and fascinated by these tiny raindrops.
In particular, watching the raindrops fall to the ground, from tiny, soft, red ones to gradually becoming white and tender, and growing firmer day by day.
However, although he was curious, he was also afraid of accidentally hurting his little brother because of his superhuman strength, so he was always careful and never dared to touch his little brother.
But seeing how adorable Yudian looked while sleeping, she couldn't resist asking Aunt Gu, "Second Aunt, can I touch my little brother?"
Gu Ersao sat on the edge of the bed, sewing the undergarment that Lin Chang'er hadn't finished, when she heard her eldest nephew's question.
She smiled at him, "[Gently, you can touch my chin, or my body.]" Chang'er said not to touch his face, because it would make him drool.
"Yes, Second Aunt!"
The little goldfish, with its bright, curved eyes, stood up from the small stool, bent over, and stretched out its finger, very lightly, very lightly poked Raindrop's chin.
The sleeping baby suddenly waved its little hand, as if it had been startled by something.
The little goldfish was startled and quickly withdrew its hand. Seeing that the raindrops unconsciously grinned without even blinking, it patted its chest, still shaken, and sat down again.
Second Sister-in-law Gu didn't miss the change in her eldest nephew's expression. She assumed he was just being affectionate towards her youngest son, and smiled, gesturing as she said, "Raindrop has grown quite strong now; it's fine to touch him."
The little goldfish nodded. "I understand, Second Aunt. I'm just afraid of waking up my little brother, and then Second Aunt will have to soothe him."
Second Sister-in-law Gu waved her hand, pointed to her son, then to her eldest nephew, saying, "Raindrops are as well-behaved as little goldfish."
The little goldfish was embarrassed by the praise and lowered its head shyly.
"Mom, little brother..." Gu Xiaoman ran in, holding some snacks, and when she saw the little goldfish, she obediently called out, "Brother!"
Gu Ersao smiled and nodded to her son, her eyes full of doting affection.
The little goldfish shushed and pointed to the cradle. Gu Xiaoman quickly went over and asked, "Is your little brother asleep?"
The little goldfish nodded, "Yes, it's been sleeping for a while!"
Gu Xiaoman made two "oh oh" sounds, broke off half of the snack in her hand, and handed it over, "Brother, eat!"
The little goldfish took the pastry, paused for a moment, then broke it into two pieces and handed one to Aunt Gu, saying, "Aunt Gu, this piece is for you!"
Second Sister-in-law Gu looked at her eldest nephew in surprise. After a long while, she waved her hand, saying, "You all eat, your second aunt doesn't eat."
"Second Aunt!" Little Goldfish stubbornly stretched out its hand.
Gu Ersao reluctantly took it and rubbed his head.
Gu Xiaoman wasn't jealous. She thought to herself that since her brother was good to their mother, she should also be good to her aunt in the future.
She took a bite of the snack, then leaned her little head close to the cradle, watched for a while, and then reached out her little hand to poke her brother's cheek.
It's soft and easy to poke.
Gu Xiaoman grinned, revealing her little white teeth, and muttered, "My little brother is much cuter than the little piglet! Humph! I don't want to hug the little piglet, I want to hug my little brother!"
The little goldfish was nibbling on a snack when it heard its younger brother muttering to himself. Curious, it turned its head and asked, "Xiaoman, what little piglet?"
Although she said she didn't want to hold them, Gu Xiaoman still really liked the piglets. Since it was the first time she had seen them, she blurted out, "The piglets from Sixth Aunt's house! My aunt just delivered them. There were ten of them! They're all red, just like..."
Just like when my younger brother was born, I almost said it out loud.
Gu Xiaoman stopped herself in time, pouting, "Red ones aren't cute at all, they can't compare to raindrops at all."
Little Goldfish: "..." What does the little piglet have to do with the raindrops? Why is it getting angry?
The little goldfish was puzzled!
Listening to Gu Xiaoman's rambling, Gu Ersao couldn't help but smile. A child is just a child.
"Mom, are we going to primary school?"
"Yes, let's take Headmaster Chen and Grandpa Chen to see our primary school!"
"Auntie, Xiaobao is going too!"
"Okay! Let's go together!"
The sounds of children playing outside filled the air. Gu Ersao glanced at the door, a gentle smile on her face.
A little head peeked in through the door. "Little Goldfish Brother, Little Man Brother, Xiao Bao is going to elementary school with Auntie. Brother, are you going?"
Gu Xiaoman was eager to go, but the little goldfish shook its head, "Brother isn't going, Xiaobao should go instead, stay with your good sister, okay?"
Zhou Yi nodded, a little disappointed on his face. Although he liked his sister very much, he also liked his brother.
Gu Xiaoman actually really wanted to go, but his older brother had stayed to keep him company, so he couldn't go out and play by himself anymore!
At this moment, Gu Xiaolu and Li Qingning walked over. Gu Xiaolu patted Zhou Yi's little head and went into the house.
"Brother, I'm tired of playing and I don't want to go to school anymore. Brother, go with Mommy!"
Li Qingning also said, "Xiaoman, do you want to go? How about I watch over your little brother for you?"
"Brother Xiaoman, let's go together!" Zhou Yi also persuaded at the right time.
Gu Xiaoman's eyes lit up. He was only three years old, a very active age, and couldn't sit still.
But he didn't respond immediately; instead, he turned to look at the little goldfish.
Gu Xiaolu saw through her younger brother's little scheme at a glance. "Brother, why don't you take Xiaoman with you? Qingning and I will take good care of Auntie and little brother."
The little goldfish looked at her younger sister, then at Li Qingning, who seemed more reliable than her sister, and finally nodded, "Alright then!"
"Yay!" Gu Xiaoman clapped her hands happily and said to her second sister-in-law, "Mom, I'm going to play with my brother!"
Second Sister Gu nodded with a smile!
Before Gu Xiaoman could say anything more, the little goldfish immediately shushed her and pointed to the raindrops, who were sleeping soundly.
Gu Xiaoman quickly raised her little hand to cover her mouth and tiptoed out the door like a little mouse.
The primary school was nearby; it only took less than half an incense stick's time to get there!
After seeing the Gu family's courtyard, Headmaster Chen originally had no expectations for the primary school.
Until the group stood in front of a courtyard house with blue bricks and tiles, although it lacked the gorgeous decorations of carved railings and painted beams, it could be considered the best house in Linshui Village.
It's many times better than the dilapidated courtyard where the Gu family lives now!
Headmaster Chen looked at Lin Chang'er with some disbelief, "Is this really your primary school?"
Although merchants make quick profits, is she stupid to build a school before repairing her own house?
