Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1042: Chapter 1043 Close Relations

”Ding ding ding!” Gong Juechen leapt into the courtyard, ”Jingjing, Xingxing, Qingqing, Yunyun, come look, what has Uncle Chenchen brought for you all!”

”Ah, paper windmills! Hurry, hurry, hurry, Uncle Chenchen, give one to Qing’er, give one to Qing’er!”

An Yiqing, with particular enthusiasm, ran towards Gong Juechen and, taking a paper windmill from his hand, began to run all over the courtyard. Because of the wind, the paper windmill spun continuously, and An Yiqing, looking delighted, ran and laughed, filled with joy.

That smile really resembled Maitreya Buddha.

Su Yi Jing, Su Yixing, and An Yiyun also each took a paper windmill from Gong Juechen’s hand and played in the courtyard, running with the spinning windmill, all very happy.

And because of the paper windmills, the four little ones temporarily forgot that they were supposed to watch their father, Xiao Changyi, dig for earthworms.

After playing with the kids and the paper windmills for a while, Gong Juechen made his way over to An Jing and Xiao Changyi.

An Jing, seeing Gong Juechen still had a paper windmill in his hand, laughed and asked, ”Is that for me?”

Gong Juechen immediately protected the windmill like a mother hen, hiding it in his chest, ”I want to play with it myself.”

An Jing found this amusing, ”How old are you, still playing with these?”

Gong Juechen said, ”You just wanted one too, didn’t you also want to play?”

An Jing said, ”Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn’t play with it. I was just asking.”

”Oh my~” Gong Juechen wore a smile like that of an Old Mama and his tone was very much like one too, ”Stubborn as a mule~”

An Jing silently looked to the heavens.

Gong Juechen was already used to the fact that they always ended up speechless because of him, so very naturally, he turned to Xiao Changyi, who was digging for earthworms, and asked, ”What are you digging earthworms for?”

Xiao Changyi didn’t speak.

Instead, An Jing answered, ”We’re about to take the kids fishing.”

”Oh, let’s go, let’s go,” Gong Juechen immediately nodded excitedly, ”I’ll come too, I’m really bored, Se Se doesn’t want me to carry around my chubby nephew anymore, saying I’ll spoil him rotten. The kid is just so tiny, can’t even talk yet, how could he be spoiled.” As he spoke, Gong Juechen began to grumble.

An Jing was quite speechless at how Gong Juechen never saw himself as an outsider.

But ever since they all went to Nan Shen and experienced an epidemic, although on the surface it seemed like their relationship hadn’t changed, in reality, his relationship with her and her husband had actually grown closer.

Taking for granted that Gong Juechen would join them for fishing, An Jing still said irritably, ”Se Se came by yesterday and mentioned that you’re always carrying your nephew, making it so now he cries if he’s not held and refuses to sleep.”

”But I just really like my chubby nephew...” Gong Juechen said with a hint of aggrievance. If he didn’t like the kid, why would he always be holding him?

Nevertheless, Gong Juechen was soon cheerful again, saying spiritedly, ”Jingjing, I really don’t know how my sister raises him, but she’s made him so chubby. Ha ha, when I hold him, I feel like I’m holding a big chunk of meat, so soft and mushy, warm and toasty, even smells like milk, I truly love holding him! Just a shame, Se Se won’t let me hold him anymore.”

An Jing: ”...” Only you could describe a perfectly fine child as a big chunk of meat...

After the earthworms were gathered, An Jing and Xiao Changyi took the four children to the riverside outside the city to fish.

Gong Juechen, very much a child at heart, followed along with a paper windmill in hand.

Meng Zhuqing and Qin Er also joined the group.
