Ever since Nuonuo realized her brother might be taken away, she clung to the driver every day, insisting on going with him to pick up Da Bao from school.
Moreover, every ti they reached the parking lot at the school gate, she refused to sit quietly in the car. She always wanted the driver to hold her or take her hand and Little Treasure to wait at the school gate for Da Bao.
When Da Bao ca out, after hugging her and Little Treasure, she would look around vigilantly to see if that clingy sister had co out with her brother.
After observing for nearly half a month and always seeing her brother co out with Brother Zhihao and Brother Wei Qi, Nuonuo finally felt relieved and slowly forgot about the sister issue.
As October turned, on Nuonuo’s third birthday, Old Master Yang and Yang Sheng, along with Xiao Jing, flew from Beijing to R City to celebrate her birthday. Of course, Mr. Ji also ca to join in on the fun.
Old Master Yang was almost ninety by this ti, but his ntal state was even better than it had been years earlier.
In front of a large crowd, Yang Sheng joked, "Of course, Grandpa is in good spirits, having thrown away the big burden. The miserable one is , being crushed out of shape by it. Tongtong, this won’t do. You and Rui need to find so ti to co back and help ."
Le Tong snuggled in Ji Rui’s arms, ignoring him. Ji Rui calmly reminded him, "Yang Sheng, you are the CEO and Chairman of the Yang Family."
Yang Sheng rolled his eyes at him, "I may be the CEO and Chairman, but Tongtong is the future major shareholder!"
Le Tong laughed, "Brother, how about this? You exchange the Ji Family shares in your hand for the shares of the Yang Family I hold?"
Le Tong was joking, but it made Old Master Yang and Yang Sheng instantly turn their scrutinizing eyes to Ji Rui.
"Girl, did this boy Rui bully you?" Old Master Yang’s tone and expression were quite serious, which startled Le Tong.
"Grandpa, I was just saying, why are you all so tense?"
Yet Old Master Yang didn’t believe it, frowning as he stared at Ji Rui, "Rui boy, tell honestly, did you do sothing to wrong the girl?"
Ji Rui felt very wronged, lifting his hand to pinch his dear wife’s cheek, signaling her to clean up the ss she made.
"Grandpa, really no! I just suddenly rembered that Brother holds shares of the Ji Family. While I, as a freeloader of the Yang Family, holding the position of future major shareholder, doesn’t seem quite right."
Yang Sheng lifted a pillow intending to throw it at Le Tong, but it was caught simultaneously by the quick-handed Ji Rui.
"Tongtong, I won’t exchange the Ji Family shares with you. That is the testant of many years of hard work between Rui and . Besides, when Da Bao and Little Treasure grow up, perhaps these shares will bring closer to them as their uncle."
Just then, Da Bao, who was playing with Nuonuo and Little Treasure in the side hall, shouted from afar.
"Uncle, rest assured, even if you don’t have Ji Family shares, when you’re old, Nuonuo, Little Treasure, and I will still be as filial to you as to Dad and Mom!"
Da Bao’s words made all the adults in the room burst into laughter, and the joke about the shares was left unsettled.
Anyway, as it stands, until Da Bao and Little Treasure grow up, the relationship between the Yang Family and Ji Family should remain close and harmonious.
And Old Master Yang’s intention, of course, was to hope that his most cherished grandson and granddaughter can maintain such a relationship, supported not only by emotions but also by common interests, continuing to support each other cordially in the future just like now.
"Brother, what does filial an?"
Recently, little Nuonuo has triggered a mode of one hundred thousand whys, always catching Da Bao at every instance to ask "why?" when she doesn’t understand sothing.
"To be filial ans for children to treat their elders well, like great-grandpa, grandpa, dad, mom, and uncle..." Da Bao explained patiently to Nuonuo while accompanying Little Treasure in building blocks.
Nuonuo also picked up a rectangular wooden block and placed it on the bridge structure Little Treasure had built.
"Oh... Nuonuo will also be filial to brother..."
Da Bao laughed, "Silly girl, no need to be filial to brother, brother isn’t that old!"
Nuonuo tilted her head and looked at Da Bao, "But, you are brother!"
Nuonuo’s words left Da Bao speechless.
Yes, he is the brother, and for the sister to be filial to the brother is very normal!
Strictly speaking, Nuonuo’s words should be quite right in theory.
But Da Bao always felt sothing was off, yet he couldn’t quite put his finger on what was wrong at the mont.
Ignoring the odd discomfort in his heart, Da Bao nodded, raising his hand to ruffle the hair of Nuonuo and Little Treasure.
"Well, in the future, Nuonuo and Little Treasure must be kind to brother!"
Little Treasure, now scooting about pushing his toy car, had already abandoned the block structure he enthusiastically built earlier.
"Yes! Will be filial..." Little Treasure, who didn’t understand anything, echoed Da Bao like a mimic, then scooted away pushing his little car, making "toot toot toot" sounds.
Nuonuo stayed behind enthusiastically building a castle behind the little bridge, muttering to herself.
"Nuonuo wants to build a big house... With a big house, I can be filial to brother..."
Da Bao found it amusing, lying on the floor, resting his chin in his hands watching the little girl, "Nuonuo, why can you be filial to brother with a big house?"
Da Bao figured he must have been asked "why" by the little girl many tis and got infected, and now he was eager to understand the true thoughts in the little girl’s mind.
The little girl squinted and laughed, then mysteriously leaned over and kissed Da Bao.
"With a big house, I can get married..."
Da Bao’s heart skipped a beat, "Get married? Who gets married to whom?"
What kind of random stuff has this little girl been seeing at ho that at just three years old she knows about marrying?
Da Bao had matured early and knew many things at a young age, but he felt that with his intelligence, understanding these topics that far exceeded his age wasn’t difficult at all.
But Nuonuo was different; the little girl had always been a bit silly. While she wasn’t exactly dumb, she definitely wasn’t exceptionally bright either. He really feared that her not-so-bright mind would prematurely take on random unnecessary problems, heading astray.
Seeing the little girl staring at him with her big, sparkling eyes, Da Bao got a bit anxious, pinching her cheek and patiently asking, "Nuonuo, tell brother, who’s getting married to whom?"
The little girl giggled, her small body shaking from laughter, finally stopping, "Of course, Nuonuo is going to marry brother; Nuonuo wants to marry brother!"
Da Bao was stunned, unsure of what to feel; his mind was a jumble, unclear even to himself.
"Silly Nuonuo..."
In an inexplicable mood, Da Bao hugged the little girl into his arms.
"Brother, Nuonuo will be filial to brother..." The little girl, nestled in his arms, incongruously chid in.
