Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 488 Escape

"Being estranged? This Aping and Tianshu are not the same kind of people. It is only a matter of time before they have conflicts and estrangements. What do I have to be afraid of? No, that's not right. Actually, I am afraid. I'm just afraid that he will hurt the children's hearts and make them sad." Hong Xiaoduo said and sighed.

Even so, this is unavoidable. No matter how much I want to protect these children, they will eventually have to go through some things. This way, their psychological ability to withstand it will be stronger in the future.

In one’s lifetime, one will always encounter some unpleasant things and bad people.

After listening to Hong Xiaoduo's words, Feiyan thought about it. For Aping, compared with Tianshu and the others, he joined later. Even if everyone treated him equally and was equally good, as long as there was something not to his liking, he might overthink it.

Yaoguang is so young, but she is very sensible. Ah Ping is one year older than Tianshu, so he should know right from wrong. If he really thinks too much about this incident and resents Tianshu and the others, it cannot be avoided by others' advice.

Therefore, Feiyan did not say anything to excuse Aping, because she knew the temperament and nature of Tianshu's children very well.

Seeing Hong Xiaoduo lying down in a short while, Feiyan walked out and closed the door gently.

Feiyan was originally worried about how to deal with the conflicts among the seven little ones, but after listening to Xiaoduo's words, she felt that it was not a big deal.

What will happen next depends on Aping himself!

If he had figured it out, the six children wouldn't have been upset about his decision to replace Kaiyang's name. But if he got stuck in a dead end and had other unpleasant things happen with the six children, Xiaoduo wouldn't be tolerant and continue to take him in, given her personality!
Hong Xiaoduo did not suffer from insomnia because she knew about the six children and Aping, nor was she sad because she was not with her parents during the New Year. Even though she had just eaten, she fell asleep quickly.

She slept soundly all night, and when she woke up naturally, it was almost noon.

She was the first to go to bed on New Year's Eve, but she was still the last to get up at the beginning of the year.

When she finished washing and walked out, she found that the debris from the fireworks and firecrackers in the yard last night had already been cleaned up.

"Mom, Happy New Year and may you be prosperous." Seven children came forward and greeted her in unison.

Then, six pairs of small hands reached out to her at the same time.

Aping, who was standing at the very edge, stretched out his hand hesitantly, but then felt a little embarrassed and quickly put it down.

"Oh, how come you all become money-grubbers after the New Year?" Hong Xiaoduo teased them with a smile.

The children were smiling and not only did they not retract their outstretched hands because of her teasing, they even clapped their hands a few times and stretched them out towards her, as if they would not stop until she gave them red envelopes.

Hong Xiaoduo liked them like this: "Wait." After saying that, she turned around and went back to the house, came out carrying a bamboo basket full of brocade bags, and distributed New Year's red envelopes to everyone one by one.

Ah Ping looked at the red brocade bag handed to him, pursed his lips and reached out to take it. It was still heavy in his hand, no lighter than the New Year's money given last night.

"Put them away and don't use them carelessly. Save them for when you find a wife." Feiyan, who was walking by, also joked with the children.

Tian Quan responded casually: "Isn't it the mother who is in charge of marrying a wife?"

"What, you are counting on me to find a wife? Then after you get married and have a baby, do you still want me to take care of the child for you?" Hong Xiaoduo asked with eyes wide open.

Tian Quan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said just now, and continued to respond without thinking: "Yes, isn't it always the grandmothers who take care of their grandchildren?"

Although it was a joke, Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but imagine the scene of herself raising these six children. It was not as warm as having a house full of children and grandchildren, and she just felt a headache. "You think it's a nice idea. What, I won't get married? I tell you, be prepared. When I get married, the baby I give birth to will be raised by you brothers and sisters." Hong Xiaoduo was joking and scaring them.

After hearing this, the children looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes, yes."

"Mom, you have to give birth to more children when the time comes, otherwise we won't have enough to share." Yaoguang said seriously.

Phew, Feiyan was amused.

Looking at Hong Xiaoduo again, she opened her mouth and didn't know how to respond to the little girl.

If there aren't enough to go around, doesn't that mean she has to have at least six children?
Hong Xiaoduo quickly shook her head. No, that would mean she would be pregnant all the time. That's too scary!

"Oh, no more jokes. What do you want to eat for breakfast? I'm hungry." After saying that, he walked straight towards the kitchen.

Normally, she always had the upper hand when joking with the children, but this time it was different. She was actually forced to run away by the children's response.

She was joking, but the kids took it seriously.

Hearing her say she was hungry, Tianxuan immediately chased after her: "It's time for lunch. The dishes are ready. Can they be fried quickly? Or should we have a bowl of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice first?"

"I'm not too hungry, just take your time cooking." Hong Xiaoduo had already entered the kitchen. She reached out to the dessert plate on the table and took a fried fruit. She ate it while looking at the ingredients on the side.

Tianxuan put away the New Year's red envelope, rolled up his sleeves, and tied his apron. The other children also rushed into the kitchen, some making fire, some carrying firewood, and some preparing dishes and chopsticks.

Hong Xiaoduo was eating fried fruits, observing A Ping and the other children seemingly casually. They looked no different from usual, but she didn't know if they were really alright.

At this time, Quan Jinghuai walked in and saw Hong Xiaoduo eating fried fruit in a relaxed manner, so he couldn't help but ask, "Are you awake?"

"Well, for me, the happiest thing is to be able to sleep until I wake up naturally." Hong Xiaoduo said, thinking that she had a contented sleep on the first day of the new year. This is a good sign!
"Then do you know how many groups of people came to inquire outside the gate of the courtyard early this morning?" Quan Jinghuai asked helplessly.

Huh? "Inquire?" Hong Xiaoduo really didn't know.

"Could it be because of the fireworks we set off last night?" Hong Xiaoduo thought about it for a moment and there was only one possibility.

"Yes, they asked who I was and where I bought the fireworks."

"Someone even asked if we had any left and if we could sell one to him."

"Someone asked if we will have fireworks tonight and what time will we have them?" Several children told the story in unison.

Hong Xiaoduo knew that setting off those fireworks would attract the curiosity and attention of others, but she didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. She thought that there might be more, so she would go look for them later.

But after thinking about it, he said, "No more. We used up all last night. I'll buy a few more if I have the chance next time."

After hearing her words, the children did not show any disappointment. They were very content. Others would never have the chance to see these in their lifetime, but they had set off so many of them with their own hands last night and had a feast for their eyes and a great time.

Ah Ping walked out while no one was paying attention...
