Lin Chuxia's lips curled slightly, already guessing that the child must be from Brother Qin's family.
That child was so certain even without seeing the person, such admiration for her husband's younger brother.
Several small figures sneakily entered from the doorway, unable to see clearly through the veil, a few little kids stood two meters away from her for a while, then continued forward, with one little head finally poking beneath the veil, tilting back and blinking big eyes looking upwards.
Lin Chuxia saw the child's thick eyebrows and big eyes, a robust and curious look, which involuntarily brought a smile to her lips.
The little fellow seeing her smile, also widely grinned.
The other two kids, who were initially a bit shy, saw Zhuangzhuang's expression and also curiously came closer.
"Let me have a look." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"I want to see too..."
A few little heads jostled in front of her, Lin Chuxia simply pulled down the veil, startling the children into stepping back several paces.
However, after the scare, the three children almost simultaneously exclaimed in awe.
"Wow, Zhuangzhuang, your auntie is so pretty," the little girl spoke first.
"It's not just Zhuangzhuang's auntie; she's my auntie too, and Niuniu, she's also your aunt," the slightly older little boy said with a hint of discontent.
The proudest of them was Zhuangzhuang, puffing up his little chest and raising his chin high, "I didn't lie to you guys, my uncle is so handsome, my aunt must be the prettiest."
The little girl was still batting her eyelashes while gazing at Lin Chuxia, nodding in agreement to the words, "Auntie looks like a fairy."
Lin Chuxia was amused by her serious look and beckoned the children over, pulling out some candies from her pocket.
The kids, who were initially somewhat afraid of Lin Chuxia, came over at the sight of candies; no child could refuse sweets.
And besides, the bride was smiling so prettily.
Lin Chuxia placed two candies into each of the little hands and began to pry some information from the children.
She also figured out that these kids were no strangers, besides Brother Qin's son, the other two must also be from the Qin family proper.
Shortly thereafter, she got a rough idea from the three little talkers.
The older boy was named Qin Jianye, the son of Qin Yang's cousin; Brother Qin's son's full name was Qin Jianwei, nicknamed Zhuangzhuang; the little girl was called Niuniu, from Qin Yang's cousin's family.
Chuxia had known that Qin Family Village had many households with the surname Qin, but she hadn't expected that Qin Yang's own family was also a significant clan.
While they were talking, Lin Chuxia's stomach growled again, and several little radish heads, none of them very tall, heard it clearly.
Qin Jianye covered his mouth and snickered, Niuniu innocently asked Lin Chuxia, "Auntie, are you hungry? There's a feast outside, with lots of delicious food. I'll take you out to eat."
Lin Chuxia ruffled Niuniu's little blond hair, "Auntie is hungry, but I can't leave the house yet, it's okay, I will be able to eat soon."
Qin Jianye's eyes rolled, "I'll go get something for auntie to eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small figure dashed outside.
Zhuangzhuang ran out while saying, "She's my auntie, it's my house, I'll get it," and before Lin Chuxia could say anything, he was already out the door with Qin Jianye and Niuniu following close behind.
In no time, Zhuangzhuang came running back, directly handing Lin Chuxia a big steamed bun, "Auntie, eat this," and then bounced off again, apparently off to attend to something urgent.
Lin Chuxia held the warm big steamed bun, her eyes filled with tenderness as she watched the little kid's retreating figure.
In her past life, she was injured and spent her lifetime childless, thus Lin Chuxia always had a fondness for children, especially sensible and adorable little ones like this.
