Chapter 371 There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.
His eyes darted frantically towards Lin Chang'er, as if pleading for help.
Lin Chang'er was amused by the little guy's reaction, and reached out to take him into her arms, saying, "I scared you!"
Wu Qingfeng reached out and touched the little boy's messy head. "Don't all the kids here charge at pirates with little sticks, yelling? I just said something casually, and you think you can scare them?"
Lin Chang'er rolled her eyes at him, giving him a look that said, "You don't understand, but you still pretend to." She patted Zhou Yi on the back and said, "Dreams are always the opposite of reality. If Xiao Bao has a nightmare, it means something good is about to happen!"
Zhou Yi blinked, his long eyelashes still glistening with moisture. "Really?"
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Of course, when has Auntie ever lied to Xiaobao?"
Zhou Yi nodded, "Auntie is the best, she doesn't lie to children."
Lin Chang'er didn't understand the connection between being the most powerful and not lying to children. Seeing that he had calmed down, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Then Auntie will take you back to Grandma's now. Little Bao, be a good boy and go to sleep, okay?"
Zhou Yi didn't speak, but grabbed Lin Chang'er's collar, wrapped his little hands around her neck, and shrank his head into her neck, clearly unwilling.
Lin Chang'er smiled helplessly, "Does Xiao Bao want to sleep with Auntie?"
Zhou Yi nodded pitifully.
At this moment, Gu Xiaolu also spoke up in a soft, sweet voice, "Xiaolu wants to sleep with Mommy tonight too!"
Lin Chang'er: "..." This is strange. I've never seen any kids insist on sticking to my bed before. Why are there two of them tonight?
Looking back, I saw a newly built, gold-leaf-covered, carved wooden bed; the bed was quite large.
Seeing the expectant looks in the two little ones' eyes, she couldn't refuse and was about to nod.
Zhou Yi was suddenly taken from Wu Qingfeng's arms, who said, "Little Bao, you'll be a three-year-old soon. How can you still sleep with girls?"
Zhou Yi was completely bewildered. Whatever the old man said was right, so he instinctively nodded.
Wu Qingfeng added, "Look, your little goldfish brother lives all by himself, isn't that amazing?"
Zhou Yi nodded again. Although Little Goldfish Brother was only three years older than him, he was the most capable among children under ten.
Wu Qingfeng continued, "Then do you want to be as good as him?"
Zhou Yi nodded eagerly, "I want to be as good as my brother!"
"Then why do you cry and curse in your dreams?"
Zhou Yi shook his head, "Xiao Bao won't cry anymore!"
Wu Qingfeng hummed in agreement. "Now, shouldn't Xiaobao go back to sleep by himself?"
Zhou Yi nodded, then shook his head. "A'nai is a girl too."
Lin Chang'er was trying hard to suppress her laughter when she saw Zhou Yi being manipulated by Wu Qingfeng.
Upon hearing that, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When Zhou Yi heard her laugh, he grinned sheepishly and said, "Auntie..."
Lin Chang'er reached out and pinched his cheek. "Good boy! If you don't want to sleep with Grandma, who do you want to sleep with?"
Zhou Yi tucked his hands in his pockets and thought for a moment, "Sleep with your brother! Little Bao wants to be as amazing as your brother."
"Oh, what a coincidence!" Lin Chang'er nodded and said to Wu Qingfeng, "Then I'll trouble Lord Wu to take care of Xiao Bao tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi quickly covered his mouth with his little hand, his big eyes darting around.
Wu Qingfeng was reluctant, but he preferred to take care of the little boy himself rather than have Lin Chang'er look after him.
She hummed in agreement, picked up Zhou Yi, and turned around. "Let's go to sleep. If children don't sleep at night, they won't grow tall during the day."
"Isn't the night long?" Zhou Yi asked with the face of a curious child.
Wu Qingfeng choked and tried to comfort him, saying, "Even your bones need to rest at night."
Zhou Yi nodded, "Oh, oh, does the master sleep with his brother too?"
Wu Qingfeng hummed in agreement, and Zhou Yi said, "Brother is really amazing, even the master wants to sleep with him!"
Wu Qingfeng: "..." Okay, as long as you don't cry.
Lin Chang, who was standing at the door watching, thought: "..." You're really something, little goldfish brother!
Gu Xiaolu peeked out from behind Lin Chang'er and asked, "Mommy, shall we go to sleep too?"
Seeing Wu Qingfeng push open the door to the little goldfish's room with a look of utter despair, and carry Zhou Yi inside, Lin Chang'er turned her head and met her daughter's face.
Like Gu Xiaoman, after being nourished by good rice and water for a period of time, the little girl's chubby cheeks have also developed, making her fair and tender, and very cute to pinch.
Lin Chang'er reached out and rubbed it before nodding, "Okay, Mother's eldest daughter, this is the first time she's sleeping with Mother! Come on, let's go to sleep!"
"Go to sleep!" Gu Xiaolu was not angry at all after being teased. She grinned and took Lin Chang'er's hand, leading her to the bunk bed.
The little girl reached the bedside, then sprawled onto it, using both hands and feet to climb up. After rolling over and sitting down, she took off her shoes and socks herself. "Mother..."
Seeing the little girl's nimble movements, as if she had done it a thousand or eight hundred times, Lin Chang'er couldn't help but sigh, "Children without mothers learn to be independent early."
Lin Chang'er smiled at her, "Mother, pack your things and you'll be right there."
After saying that, he put the blueprints back into the box, ran over, shoved the little girl into the bed, and then took off his shoes and socks and lay down.
The little girl snuggled into her mother's arms and said, "Mommy, they said that if Da Bao's mother doesn't apologize to his aunt, they'll send her away. Does that mean Guo Da Bao won't have a mother anymore?"
Lin Chang'er patted the little girl's head, "As long as her mother apologizes to her aunt and gets forgiveness, she won't be sent away!"
The little girl tilted her head back. "But, Little Deer thinks Da Bao's mother definitely won't apologize to Auntie. When we were having supper, Grandpa Hai was still worried, saying that Da Bao's mother was cursing Mom and Auntie in the woodshed, saying she would never bow her head to Mom..."
Lin Chang'er pursed her lips and looked down at the little girl, "Does the little deer think that her mother did something wrong?"
Gu Xiaolu shook her head, "Da Bao's mother indulges Guo Da Bao in bullying children, and even bullies Auntie. Da Bao's mother is no good mother! But Guo Da Bao doesn't have a father, and if he loses his mother too, he'll be so pitiful..."
Lin Chang'er paused, remembering that the little goldfish and Gu Xiaolu were both orphans, so it wasn't surprising that she had such empathy.
Having empathy is a good thing, but she can't raise the little girl into a naive good-for-nothing.
Lin Chang'er smiled at the little girl and patiently explained, "Little deer, there's always a reason why someone is pitiful. Do you think Da Bao's mother and Da Bao were detained by Uncle A-da and the others?"
"They're bullying my aunt!"
"Yes, they made the mistake themselves, didn't they?"
The little girl nodded, and Lin Chang'er continued, "Then why do so many people in our village dislike Guo Dabao?"
“He bullies children everywhere, and Da Bao’s mother doesn’t care about him.”
Lin Chang'er chuckled, "My daughter is so clever. Then let me ask you, if it were Little Deer or Brother bullying the children in the village, what would your mother and grandmother do?"
