Chapter 2362: Chapter 2366: The Capable Bear More Work
Ye Xingbei nodded, "Alright."
The old master of their family has some psychological shadows.
Out of five children, four are gone, and he constantly worries that this last one might also face some danger, wishing he could put Gu Junzhu in a safe.
"You’re pretty pitiful too," Ye Xingbei teased him, "You look quite impressive, but actually you have the lowest status at home; you have to listen to the old master above you and your son below you. Aren’t you at the bottom of the food chain?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Gu Junzhu pinched her cheek, "You forgot yourself, I have to listen to you in the middle. Luckily, we have a few dogs at home, otherwise my status in our house would be second to last!"
Ye Xingbei was amused by him, giggling, shaking her head and saying, "It’s not that bad; there are still Ah Zui and Ah Jue below you!"
"You should stop!" Gu Junzhu chuckled, "In other families, children are debts, but for me, even nephews are debt collectors. From work to life to marriage and having children, tell me which aspect I haven’t been worried for them about? Other people just raise sons and daughters; I also have to raise nephews. Is it easy for me?"
Ye Xingbei laughed uncontrollably, "The capable ones do more work; it’s pretty good! Only then is our home lively. Ah Zui and Ah Jue also especially adore Xiao Shu; I really like them."
Qiao Zui and Yun Jue already treated Xiao Shumiao very well, and after knowing Xiao Shumiao is her and Gu Junzhu’s biological son, they became even more affectionate, pampering him like Senior Master Gu does.
Her son now lives in the Gu family, it’s like diving into a honey jar; there’s probably no child happier than him in this world.
"Mom, look, I picked so many fat mushrooms!" A sweaty Xiao Shumiao ran to Ye Xingbei’s side, showing her the bag full of mushrooms.
Looking at the bag of plump white mushrooms, Ye Xingbei felt a sense of warmth.
She patted Xiao Shumiao’s little head, "Xiao Shu is so great!"
"Mom, these mushrooms are so white and nice, why are only we picking them and no one else?" Xiao Shumiao was quite puzzled.
Ye Xingbei laughed and explained to him, "You see, these mushrooms are just like roadside weeds; they’re everywhere on the mountains. No matter how good something is, if you eat it constantly, you’ll get tired of it. There aren’t many people left in this village, and they’ve been eating these for years, they’re sick of it, and even if you give them these, they’re too lazy to cook them."
"Oh..." Xiao Shumiao nodded, "I get it! Just like... even delicacies can get tiresome!"
Ye Xingbei laughed and nodded, "That’s right, that’s exactly it."
"Mom, I’ll give you the mushrooms, please make mushroom soup for me," Xiao Shumiao handed the bag to Ye Xingbei, looking at her with great expectations, "The soup Mom makes is definitely the very best!"
The little boy had snow-white skin and delicate features, his two eyes shone like black gemstones, gazing at her intently, looking extremely beautiful.
Ye Xingbei was charmed by her son and couldn’t help but kiss him forcefully, "My darling is getting more handsome!"
Xiao Shumiao immediately kissed her back, "Mom is getting prettier, the prettiest in the world!"
Ye Xingbei laughed heartily, "Just for my son’s words, I am going to make the tastiest chicken soup for my Xiao Shu!"
"Make two pots," Xiao Shumiao said, "One pot with chicken, and one without, because Mom just said that the taste is different with and without chicken!"
