Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

Xia Zhishu asked in confusion, "Mother, what is this...?" Where did this hat come from?

"Dad, this is a hat I knitted for Grandma. What do you think? Isn't it pretty?" Xia Rongliu spoke first, showing off her work to Xia Zhishu.

Xia Zhishu was in a dilemma. He knew that his mother was dissatisfied with Lin Yue and did not like Xia Rongliu because Xia Rongliu was a girl, and she kept urging them to have a second child.

It was still autumn, not very cold, yet she was wearing a hat, and it was the bright color that her mother disliked the most. Xia Zhishu was stunned for a long time before she spoke, "Mother, are you alright?"

Xia Rongliu didn't understand what these words meant, so she hugged Lin Yue and snorted. Xia's mother thought Xia Rongliu was going to go back.

"What's wrong? I'm perfectly fine."

"It's not that I didn't have it, Mother, as long as you're happy, as long as you're happy..." Xia Zhishu said awkwardly. What wind blew today? It was really blowing well.

"Go to sleep, you two can talk amongst yourselves." Unlike before, Old Madam Xia didn't stop them this time, giving them their own space. She went to rest in the inner room.

Lin Yue smiled, then nudged Mingyuan who was still in a daze. "Let's go, it's windy outside. Yinyin prepared gifts for us and insisted on giving them to us only if we were together. She wouldn't let me open them by myself."

Xia Zhishu saw Xia Rongliu hiding behind Lin Yue, chuckling to herself, and laughed along, saying, "Little rascal."

Inside the room, Xia Rongliu cheerfully took out two small bags. "This is for Mommy, and this is for Daddy. One for each of you, hehe." Xia Rongliu handed one to Lin Yue and Xia Zhishu respectively, looking at them expectantly.

Lin Yue and Xia Zhishu exchanged a smile, opened the small bag in their hands, and found a ball of yarn inside. They took it out, shook it a couple of times, and then they could see what it was.

"It's a scarf~" Xia Rongliu looked at the two long threads with satisfaction. This was the best scarf she had ever knitted, and of course she wanted to give it to her parents.

One is blue, and the other is red. Since ancient times, red and blue have been associated with couples.

Lin Yue and Xia Zhishu also expressed their satisfaction with this. Lin Yue suddenly said, "Yinyin, did you knit it for yourself? Don't just think about others, you'll suffer the consequences."

"I...I haven't had time yet, why don't you knit it for me, Mother?" Xia Rongliu coaxed Lin Yue, who smiled and agreed.

Xia Zhishu was pleasantly surprised, and suddenly realized what was going on and asked, "Yinyin, you even learned to knit during your trip back to your hometown?"

"Hmm~ It's all thanks to Mommy's teaching. Oh, right! I haven't given her a night's rest yet." After saying that, Lin Yue ran to her room. Later, she explained to Xia Zhishu what had happened during this time.

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter." A burst of laughter came from Xia Rongliu's room. At this moment, Xia Rongliu was watching Juejue laughing unkindly, while Juejue was looking at her with contempt.

Xia Rongliu also knitted something warm for Juejue. She knitted things for everyone she could remember. Juejue was temporarily wearing its own 'little sweater' and lying in its bed.

The little sweater revealed four feet, a head, and a tail. The sweater pressed the little girl's fur back, leaving only the fur on her head, feet, and tail spread out, creating a comical sight.

We gave all the gifts, but since it was a cool day, we put them all at the bottom of the box. The whole family was happy.

……

Flying kites

"Mom! Higher, higher!" The wind picked up, and on an open space, Xia Rongliu chased after the kite in the sky. Lin Yue loosened the string a little longer, and Xia Zhishu watched the mother and daughter playing.

Grandma Xia, holding Juejue, glanced at her and muttered, "What's so fun about kites? How old are you, still playing with a little kid?" Then she looked at Juejue and smiled, "Isn't that right?"

Juejue: ...

Xia Zhishu knew that his mother was just saying it; she wouldn't have come out in the past. But she had changed a lot now, and Xia Zhishu felt gratified.

When it was noon and they were going home, Grandma Xia went back to her house first, Lin Yue went to prepare the meal, and Xia Zhishu smiled and went to help Lin Yue, stuffing a big handful of dog food into Xia Rongliu's mouth.

Xia Rongliu moved a small stool to sit in front of the door, holding Juejue and letting the breeze blow on her. "Juejue, can you please stop being so lazy all the time? You always look like you're about to fall asleep."

Juejue: Hehe

Xia Rongliu sighed. This cat... is too aloof. Nobody plays with her. I have to urge my parents to give her a younger brother or sister soon.

Xia Rongliu looked around, trying to find something to amuse herself, when her eyes suddenly fell on the path next to Aunt Wang's house.

Although Aunt Wang and Xia Rongliu's family were not neighbors, they were quite close, separated by only a few houses. In addition, the two families were relatives, and Xia's mother and Aunt Wang had frequent interactions and were quite familiar with each other.

There is a path between each house, and the houses are not arranged in a neat and orderly manner, but are staggered like in the countryside.

So when Xia Rongliu sat in front of the door and looked towards Aunt Wang's house, she could see the front and side of Aunt Wang's house, a small path on the side, and clearly see who was in front of the path. Beyond that, the view was blocked by other houses.

At this moment, Xia Rongliu stared intently at that narrow path. She thought she had just seen a woman in a pink dress and assumed it was Wang Jiaying. Then she suddenly remembered that Wang Jiaying had already married into the Wei family.

Aunt Wang is unlikely to be able to pull off such a youthful color. Like Old Lady Xia, Aunt Wang thinks that her daughter is already married and she is getting older, so she can't handle such a vibrant color. Besides, pink is generally considered to be worn by young girls.

Who could it be? A figure was pushed out from the boundary between light and shadow on the path. Xia Rongliu squinted and saw that it was Uncle Wang, who seemed to have made some mistake and was coaxing a woman in the shadows.

Xia Rongliu shook her head, wondering if she had misunderstood. Uncle Wang was known throughout the clan and village for being so afraid of Aunt Wang, how could it be...? Perhaps they were just flirting.

"Yinyin—, dinner's ready, come eat!" Lin Yue called from inside the house. Xia Rongliu looked towards the path, but Uncle Wang's figure had already disappeared into the darkness and could no longer be seen.

Xia Rongliu responded to Lin Yue, then picked up Juejue with one hand and carried a small stool into the house with the other.

"Yinyin, eat more." Xia Zhishu kept adding food to Xia Rongliu's plate. Xia Rongliu's little mouth was stuffed full of food, and the food in her bowl was overflowing.

"Mother, you too, and Yue'er, eat more." Xia Zhishu kept putting food on their plates, and Lin Yue and Xia's mother's faces were full of joy.

Not right, not right.

Xia Rongliu was very observant; she could tell at a glance that something was going on, and it was something good. How could they keep it from her? Xia Rongliu put down her chopsticks. "Are you kidding me?"

He asked the question before he had even swallowed his food. His pronunciation wasn't very accurate, but you could understand him, which made people laugh.

Lin Yue patted Xia Rongliu's head and teased, "What can you hide from our Yinyin? Right? Hahahaha." Turning to look at Xia Zhishu, Xia Zhishu couldn't help but laugh too.

"You're hiding something from me!" Xia Rongliu was certain and convinced.
