New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Ertai didn't know what the word "daughter-in-law" meant. He only heard his mother mention it occasionally, saying that the jade pendant should not be given to others easily, and should be given to the girl or girl he liked when he grew up. If that person accepted it, she would become his wife.

He didn't know why he had to give it to the woman he loved. He just felt that he liked Xiaoyanzi, this little girl, and he wanted to give her his most important jade pendant as a birthday present.

Xiao Ertai's innocent voice made everyone laugh, but no one took it seriously and just thought the child was so cute.

However, Mr. and Mrs. Fulan had a dazed look in their eyes. Their son was already looking for a wife for himself at such a young age?

When Xiaoyanzi heard Ertai's words, she threw the jade pendant in her hand on the table with some disgust, and subconsciously kicked it with her little feet.

I thought to myself, "You are shameless, Ertai. How old are you? You want me to be your wife? Don't think I will agree to you just because you saved me twice in your previous life."

Xue Yin and Xiao Zhihang listened secretly, frowning slightly. In their previous life... Xiao Yanzi and Ertai had indeed known each other for a long time.

When Xiao Ertai saw Xiaoyanzi throwing the jade pendant on the table with some disgust, he felt aggrieved and his eyes turned red unconsciously. Tears as big as beans fell down his eyes. His little mouth pouted and he just looked at Xiaoyanzi and cried.

"Wuwuwu, Sister Xiaoyanzi doesn't like me. She doesn't like the jade pendant I gave her. Wuwuwuwu."

Looking at the tears falling from Xiao Ertai's fair face onto the table, and hearing his crying voice, Xiaoyanzi felt inexplicably heartbroken.

She, she, she had no intention of making the child cry.

Xiaoyanzi became visibly flustered. She hurriedly grabbed the jade pendant that she had just thrown away on the table and stuffed it into her arms. Then she looked at Ertai with a flattering face and pleading in her eyes, "Brother, stop crying, okay?"

When others saw Xiao Ertai suddenly crying, they were a little puzzled. But when they saw Xiao Yanzi, who was so young but knew that others were unhappy, her clever look made everyone laugh.

When Mr. and Mrs. Fulan saw the cute and quirky appearance of Xiaoyanzi, their eyes were filled with joy.

Liu Huiying put her arm around Ertai's shoulders and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, be good. I don't dislike you. Look, I'm smiling at you."

Xiao Ertai looked at Xiao Yanzi with tearful eyes, and saw her showing a toothless smile, with her eyebrows curved as she smiled at him. Seeing her smiling so happily, Ertai didn't feel wronged anymore, and returned her a tearful smile.

Phew, I finally stopped crying.

Xiaoyanzi heaved a sigh of relief and complained in her heart, "Children are so hard to appease."

Xue Yin and Xiao Zhihang wanted to laugh after hearing this. She had a child who just turned one year old, and yet she said that children were too difficult to comfort. Hahaha, it was funny just thinking about it.

"Ahem, Xiaoyanzi, now that you've caught the jade pendant, you can still catch another one."

Xue Yin knew that Xiao Yanzi got the jade pendant by accident, but the ceremony of grabbing the first-born child was not yet completed, so she signaled Xiao Yanzi to get something else.

After hearing this, Xiaoyanzi glanced around the table and then picked up something with her left hand and right hand.

When others saw this, they all smiled. They thought that this child might become greedy and gluttonous in the future.

I saw Little Swallow holding a bright red candied haws in her left hand and a golden ingot in her right hand, smiling from ear to ear.

When Ertai saw Xiaoyanzi taking the candied haws he bought, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

.........

In this way, Xiaoyanzi's one-year-old celebration banquet ended with jade pendants, candied haws and gold ingots, which laid the foundation for her future character of being greedy and gluttonous.

Xiaoyanzi looked at the candied haws in her hand and was so happy that she couldn't help but want to put it in her mouth, but Xiaofeng quickly snatched it away, "Sister, you are still young, you can't eat it now. When you grow up, your brother will buy you lots of candied haws."

The candied haws that was about to reach her mouth disappeared. Xiaoyanzi pouted and had to accept it. She turned her head and looked at the gold ingot in her right hand. She had touched it before and it was real.

Seeing that no one noticed her, she stuffed the gold ingots into her skirt without hesitation.

As a result, when she looked up, she saw Ertai looking at her with burning eyes. Xiaoyanzi's face turned red and she babbled at him.

[Just say you didn’t see anything.]

Ertai didn't know what his sister was babbling about, but he could see that she liked gold ingots. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he rummaged in his arms, took out a lot of silver bills, and put them all in front of Xiaoyanzi.

"All of them are for you. Brother Ertai, give all the banknotes to my sister."

Looking at Ertai's cute appearance and listening to his baby voice, Xiaoyanzi blinked and looked at the silver bills on the table with her eyes shining, but she knew that she could not take the money.

Bento pretended not to understand and just played with his little paws until Xueyin finished chatting with the others and then held her in his arms.

Xue Yin saw the banknotes on the table, and then glanced at Ertai who was a little depressed, and smiled and comforted her, "Xiaoyanzi is still young now, and it's easy for her to lose these banknotes if you give them to her. Ertai, you should keep them first, and buy snacks for her when she grows up."

Liu Huiying looked at her silly son helplessly. The little girl liked the golden little ingots at first sight, but he took those gray silver bills. How could the child know whether these things were valuable or not?

Qing'er watched Xiao Feng snatch Xiaoyanzi's candied haws, and seeing that he was about to eat it secretly, she quickly ran over quietly and started eating one each with him.

Erkang felt helpless when he saw their immature appearance. He acted like an old man despite being very young. He sighed in an old-fashioned way, put his hands behind his back, walked out of the house and admired the flowers in the yard.

I was still sighing in my heart, thinking that among so many children, I am the most mature.

"Master Erkang, would you like some sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Gan Ju asked with a smile, holding a plate of osmanthus cake.

"eat."

Erkang's eyes lit up, and all his maturity and steadiness disappeared at this moment.

What is maturity and stability? How can it be as delicious as sweet-scented osmanthus cake?

Erkang grabbed a piece of osmanthus cake in each hand and started to eat it with a smacking sound. His little mouth was bulging with food, which looked very cute.

Gan Ju glanced at him with a smile, then took the cakes and went into the house.

At this time, the banquet was over and the guests had all left, leaving only Hongzhan and Fulun's two families.

Xiao Zhihang, Hongzhan, Fulun and the other two were chatting animatedly, talking about the martial arts world, life, poetry and songs. They could talk about anything and it didn't look like they had just met for a short time.

Xue Yin, Yun Qingwan and Liu Huiying were also chatting and laughing as they surrounded their families and children.

Xiao Feng pulled Qing'er to secretly eat the candied haws, while Ertai circled around Xiaoyanzi.

Seeing the osmanthus cake coming, the three of them ran towards it without hesitation, leaving the little swallow alone with her paws stretched out, wanting to cry but without tears.

[I, I want to eat osmanthus cake, too.]
