Even though Lin Yao wanted to torture Han Shuo, he planned to delay it for a few more days. That guy was such an eyesore. The less he saw him, the better.
It would be the weekend in two days. He was going to take Miaomiao back to the ancestral mansion. Lin Yao asked Miaomiao to postpone the martial - arts lessons until they came back from his grandfather's place.
This delay would last about a week.
By the time they returned, he would go back to work at the company. Then there would be two more big kids to accompany their little dumpling. Miaomiao wouldn't be too bored. It was perfect!
On the weekend, after Miaomiao's morning exercise, her silly dad couldn't wait to pack their bags and leave the community with his little one.
In just these two days, Han Shuo had come eight times a day under the pretext of giving gifts to his master. Lin Yao was almost driven crazy.
Lin Yao was eager to get back home. Everyone at the ancestral mansion was looking forward to their arrival.
Grandma Lin got up at five in the morning to buy groceries and started cooking. At seven or eight in the morning, Lin's elder brothers and sisters - in - law also rushed back to the ancestral mansion at Grandma Lin's call, preparing to welcome the only girl in the third generation of the family.
As for whether the little dumpling they had never met would be liked by them?
The elders of the Lin family said that this was not even a concern.
Not to mention that the whole family had been longing for a daughter. It was so hard to finally have a granddaughter/niece.
Just based on Lin Yao's judgment, they had 100% trust. A Lin with upright roots would never adopt a misbehaved child.
With the sound of a car entering the villa compound, Grandma Lin rushed out of the door wearing an apron and holding a spatula.
Lin Yao got out of the car with the soft and waxy little dumpling in his arms. When Grandma Lin saw her granddaughter in person, her eyes lit up.
Today, Miaomiao was wearing a panda outfit with a short little tail hanging behind the furry suit. Lin Yao patted the little dumpling's bottom in his arms to wake her up.
Miaomiao opened her eyes sleepily, looking around. Her cute look made Grandma Lin want to scream like a prairie dog inside.
"Miaomiao, this is Grandma," Lin Yao said, holding the little dumpling up so that Miaomiao could look at Grandma Lin face - to - face.
Miaomiao, still half - asleep and hanging in the air, subconsciously raised her arms and waved twice, greeting, "Hello, Grandma."
"Hello, hello. Come inside quickly. It's windy outside. Grandma has made a lot of delicious food for you. Lunch will be ready soon!"
"Okay, thank you, Grandma." The little dumpling responded with a sweet smile to the elder.
Grandma Lin was completely charmed by Miaomiao's cute look.
With long black hair, big watery eyes, a soft and waxy voice, a polite and well - behaved personality, and a chubby, smiling face like a New - Year painting doll, this was exactly all of Grandma Lin's beautiful fantasies about her granddaughter.
Who could resist such a little girl?
"Son! Well done!" Grandma Lin gave Lin Yao a big thumbs - up.
It wasn't appropriate to mention adoption in front of the child, so Grandma Lin could only implicitly praise her son.
Lin Yao slightly raised his head, understanding the hint. He proudly carried his daughter into the villa.
The whole family had been waiting for a long time. Lin Yao carried his daughter to introduce everyone one by one.
"Hello, Grandpa, Aunt and Uncle of the eldest branch, and eldest cousin. Hello, Aunt and Uncle of the second branch, and second cousin. Hello, Aunt and Uncle of the third branch, and third cousin."
The little dumpling greeted everyone without being lazy at all. She waved her hand every time she greeted someone. In just a short while, her cute panda - shaped cross - body bag was filled with red envelopes. It seemed that the little dumpling had already become a little rich girl.
After the introductions, Miaomiao was placed in the middle of the sofa. Grandma and aunts surrounded the little dumpling, chatting and teasing this cute little one.
The men in the room looked at each other. They couldn't get a word in and didn't dare to interrupt.
There was no way. All the men in the Lin family were hen - pecked. No one wanted to spoil their wives' good mood and go home to kneel on the washboard. Even the most authoritative patriarch of the Lin family, Grandpa Lin, didn't say a word, let alone the younger generations.
The three cousins were itching to get close to the little sister surrounded by their mothers.
Brainwashed by their mother/grandma who were all girl - lovers, the three cousins had become qualified sister - lovers even before Miaomiao appeared.
Unfortunately, there was no younger sister in the family. They could only watch other little girls and shed tears in vain. Now that they had a little sister, but she was always being occupied. They could only look but not touch. It was really uncomfortable.
They also wanted to get close to their little cousin!
Maybe because the three teenagers' resentment was too heavy, the elders finally stopped their friendly conversation with the little dumpling.
"Ah, I just remembered that there's still a lot of cooking to do in the kitchen. I'll go back to cook. Miaomiao, you can play with your cousins first," Grandma Lin suddenly remembered that it was almost lunchtime. She hurriedly said a few words and then turned around and went into the kitchen.
For Miaomiao, playing was something that seemed like a waste of time. She had to get permission from her silly dad first.
The little dumpling looked at Lin Yao, silently asking for permission. Her dad, who was like her translator, immediately understood her look and said, "Go and play with your cousins."
"Okay." Miaomiao nodded obediently.
Lin Yao was afraid that the kids wouldn't be able to relax with adults around. He even dragged his elder brothers into the study, leaving enough space for the little ones to play.
His own brothers were completely different from those outside boys. It was a good thing to let Miaomiao get closer to them.
All the adults in the living room left. The three cousins looked at the little dumpling, feeling at a loss. They were the ones who had been itching to play with their little cousin just now, but now they were staring blankly, not knowing what to say.
The eldest cousin was fourteen years old this year, and the youngest cousin was already ten. Although the teenagers had always been envious of the soft and sweet little sisters, they had always kept a distance from girls of the same age both at school and in life.
Firstly, they thought girls were too fragile and would cry easily, which was really hard to handle.
Secondly, they thought that a real man shouldn't play with little girls all day long. It wasn't manly.
So the three cousins, who had no experience in taking care of kids, especially little girls, had no idea what to do with their little sister now.
"Brother, let's take our little sister to play video games," the youngest cousin, Lin Chengzhi, said slyly with his eyes twinkling.
"First of all, I don't think our four - year - old little cousin would like video games. Secondly, you haven't finished your homework. You're not qualified to play these things," the eldest cousin, Lin Chenghui, mercilessly exposed his younger brother's "plan" and pushed his glasses, wisely denying the suggestion.
"Our little cousin can't play things that are too dangerous or too complicated. How about we take her to the grocery store? I remember there's a rocking horse in the grocery store at the door. Kids should like it."
"Okay."
Miaomiao waited blankly while the three cousins had a "meeting". Finally, they decided where to go.
The three teenagers couldn't wait to help their little cousin change her shoes. They said hello and then rushed out of the door.
Hey, they also wanted to go to the grocery store.
