Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Little Zhao Shu sat at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion with her little face propped up.

Today, when little Zhao Shu was squatting in the yard picking up beautiful stones, she heard a passing father talking to a servant about buying gifts. Recalling that her father had said some time ago that he would buy many gifts for her, she excitedly threw down the small stones in her clothes pocket and ran out, shouting, "Daddy."

There was no one on the road. She had short legs, and when she ran out, Zhao Yao had already left the house with his servant.

Little Zhao Shu ran out hoping that her father would take her with him, but she was disappointed and felt a little disappointed.

But in just a moment, her little face brightened up again. She could go to the door and wait for her father! She thought so and did it.

At the gate of the marquis's mansion, a woman passed by with a young child in her arms who was happily eating steamed buns. Little Zhao Shu looked at the white and soft steamed buns with envy.

It was not until the woman turned into the alley that little Zhao Shu pouted and looked at the ground. She wondered why her father hadn't come back yet. She was hungry. Her little head was torn between eating lunch and waiting for her father. She was torn between these two until Zhao Yao came back.

Little Zhao Shu was scratching the pattern on her shoes from time to time. Zhao Yao had just led the servant back to the mansion when he saw the little figure at the door and called out uncertainly, "Shu'er?"

Little Zhao Shu looked up in surprise, ran towards Zhao Yao, and said sweetly, "Daddy, you're back."

"Are you waiting for daddy here on purpose?" Zhao Yao touched little Zhao Shu's head.

Xiao Zhaoshu nodded heavily: "Yes!"

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Shu'er is so well behaved."

Little Zhao Shu opened her big round eyes and looked at Zhao Yao: "Didn't Daddy bring a gift for Shu'er?"

Zhao Yao reflexively glanced at the tightly wrapped gadget in the servant's hand, then turned back and said to Xiao Zhao Shu in a gentle voice: "Daddy came back in a hurry today and forgot to bring you a gift. Okay, next time, daddy will definitely bring you one."

Little Zhao Shu looked at Zhao Yao with dark eyes for a few seconds. He felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He straightened up to relieve the guilt that had just surged up. Seeing the little girl nod obediently, he said, "Okay."

Little Zhao Shu pouted her lips and looked at Zhao Yao's departing back. Liar! She clearly saw a cloth tiger in his arms!

At that time, Zhao Shu didn't know why her father lied to her. Later she realized that her father just gave all his favoritism to her younger sister.

Little Zhao Shu gulped down the porridge, took a few bites of the steamed bun, and jumped off the bench.

Little Zhao Shu avoided the crowd and came to the main courtyard, looking inside through the window with her little head.

The servant placed all the toys that had just been bought today on the table. Zhao Yao put Xiao Xueying in his arms and took out a cloth tiger to play with her. Xiao Xueying snatched the cloth tiger, causing Zhao Yao and Zhang Lanyin to laugh. Zhao Yao lowered his head and gave Xiao Xueying a big kiss on the forehead.

Although little Zhao Shu was afraid of her mother, she also missed her mother. After seeing her father today, she missed her mother even more, so she sneaked to the main courtyard again.

Little Zhao Shu squatted down with tears in her eyes. After a while, she stood up and looked inside eagerly, her little face facing the window. She raised her little hand to wipe her eyes, then turned and left.

Little Zhao Shu was walking back to the yard with red eyes. A beautiful lady came towards her with her little brother. She knew this lady, she was the little brother's mother, and she had to call her aunt.

Little Zhao Shu greeted them obediently: "Hello, auntie, hello, little brother."

The beautiful lady looked at her tenderly: "Hello."

But the little brother turned his face away and ignored her.

Little Zhao Shu didn't think much about it. After saying "goodbye" to the beautiful lady and the little brother, she went back to the yard.

The beautiful lady squatted down and looked at her son tenderly: "Your sister greeted you just now, why didn't you pay attention to her? I like you so much, I must be sad if you ignore me." Little Xie Jin looked at his mother awkwardly. He ignored her on purpose just now. It was her fault for being so stingy and unwilling to give him a rattle last time!
Seeing his uncomfortable look, she thought he was shy when seeing his pretty sister, so she didn't say anything. She just pinched his cheek gently, took his hand and walked away with the maid who led the way.

When Zhang Lanyin heard the maid say that Lady Xianguogong had arrived with her son, she picked up Xiao Xueying and went to the door to greet them.

Zhou Huijie walked closer, teased Xiao Xueying in Zhang Lanyin's arms, and took out a gold necklace from his sleeve and put it on Xiao Xueying.

Little Xie Jin bowed to Zhang Lanyin and said, "Hello, cousin. Happy birthday to my cousin."

Zhang Lanyin shook Xiao Xueying's hand and said to Xiao Xiejin: "Xueying, thank you, brother."

Because Xiao Xueying was still ill, this birthday was not celebrated in a big way. She only invited the wife of Duke Xian to a small celebration.

Listening to the adults' greetings, little Xie Jin couldn't sit still, so he asked his mother for permission and went out.

Little Xie Jin was strolling in the backyard when he suddenly saw a small figure squatting in front of him.

Little Zhao Shu was having a great time picking up stones when a shadow blocked her way. She raised her little head and when she saw it was her little brother, she stood up happily while protecting the stone in her arms.

Xiao Zhao pulled his brother down and squatted down: "Brother, do you know what a birthday is?"

Little Xie Jin pursed his lips and said, "Of course I know. Your birthday is the day your mother gave birth to you. Your birthday is that day."

Little Zhao Shu didn't quite understand: "Oh, I heard from an old maid that my birthday is on March 3rd."

Little Xie Jin tilted her head to look at her. Isn’t that today?
Little Xie Jin grabbed little Zhao Shu's hand and ran with her: "Come on, I'll give you a gift."

Little Zhao Shu held the little brother's soft hand and said, "Little brother, why did you give me a gift?"

Xiao Xie Jin took her to a white wall and stood there, and said to her seriously: "Because everyone will receive a birthday gift on their birthday."

Little Xie Jin stood facing the white wall, raised his arms, crossed his thumbs, and waved his palms slightly inward. Suddenly, a little bird appeared on the white wall. Little Xie Jin said in a rough voice: "The little bird wishes Zhao Shu a happy birthday."

Little Zhao Shu looked at the little Xie Jin who knew everything with admiration: "Little brother, I want more."

Hearing this, little Xie Jin raised his left hand vertically and spread his thumb and little finger towards the wall. He then clasped his right palm against his left palm, with his right thumb aligned behind his left thumb. A puppy appeared in front of him. Little Xie Jin barked twice and said gruffly, "Little puppy wishes Zhao Shu a happy birthday."

Two little figures played facing the white wall for an entire afternoon, one of them kept talking about the animals he wanted to see, and the other kept posing with various animals in his hands.
