Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 626 Heartless Little Thing

"Oh, okay, I'll go back and have some tea and roasted chestnuts with the boy and girl."

The villagers went back home happily.

Upon hearing that there would be a fireworks display, the Prince of Zhenbei hurriedly went back to bathe and change, fearing that he would be late.

It's not that I've never seen it before, but I felt that it would be the first time the kids had ever seen it.

Although they didn't plan to immediately reunite with their children, they still wanted to watch the fireworks with them one last time.

Princess Zhenbei naturally went along as well.

Although the stables were clean, the children had worn smocks when they went there, so when they got home, we took them off one by one and washed their hands together.

With guidance from adults, the little ones have already developed the good habit of washing their hands frequently.

They were very diligent in making soap, a group of them working together, and soon a layer of bubbles floated on the wooden basin. The children were even happier, poking at the bubbles and playing with them.

"Be careful not to get your clothes wet. Come over and have some hot water after you've washed them." Lin Chang'er didn't want to spoil the mood, so she just stood in the flower hall and called out to the children.

The children giggled, rinsed the foam off their hands, and chased each other into the flower hall.

Aunt Gu and her sister-in-law sat in the baby carriage and played with Yudian, while her second sister-in-law sat to the side doing needlework.

Lin Chang'er filled the dessert plate with snacks: peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, dragon beard candy, pea flour cake, red bean cake, cloud cake, and candies wrapped in paper.

"Wipe your hands clean and come drink some hot water. You can eat all the snacks in the fruit platter, just a little, don't waste any, understand?"

"Yay! Auntie is the best! Xiaoman likes Auntie the most."

"Little deer also loves its mother the most."

“Yu-ge’er and Shu-jie’er also like their little aunt.”

The little ones expressed their feelings in various ways, each finding a spot to sit at a small table, drinking tea and chatting.

Children have their own topics, so Lin Chang'er didn't disturb them. She went to sit down next to Gu Ersao and said, "Ersao, take a rest first, and we'll continue after the Lantern Festival."

After a year of hard work, everyone needs to take a break during the Chinese New Year.

Second Sister Gu smiled and gestured, "It'll be done soon. Finish the pattern before the New Year, and we can finish the rest afterward."

Lin Chang'er didn't insist, "Alright then, it's fine if we can't finish it after the New Year."

Having said that, he stopped bothering Gu Ersao and turned to play with Yudian'er.

The little guy already recognizes people. He was drowsy at first, but when he saw a familiar face, he immediately perked up, waving his arms and legs and babbling happily.

Sister-in-law Gu clicked her tongue twice. "Look, she really is my precious gem. It's all different when I'm here."

Lin Chang'er laughed and tapped Yudian'er's nose. "Did you hear that, Yudian'er? Give your aunt a smile. Your aunt is jealous."

The baby doesn't understand any of this; when it sees its favorite aunt smiling, it giggles too.

Seeing this, Sister-in-law Gu shook her head helplessly, grabbed the baby's chubby little foot and gently shook it, "You heartless little thing."

The baby just thought the adults were playing with him and didn't get annoyed; instead, he laughed even harder.

After sitting for a while, the Prince of Zhenbei and his wife, Madam Huo, Aunt Xu, and the brothers Gu Dalang and Gu Erlang arrived at the flower hall one after another.

Following closely behind, Old Zhu, Old Chen, Old Li, and Master Chen also arrived with their families.

They were all wealthy families in the county, and the families had always been on good terms. Today, they agreed to meet at the city gate and come together. Accompanying them were He Yang, He Fei, and several brothers who were on duty at the city gate.

After all, they were among the wealthiest people in the county, and having city gate guards accompany them added several levels of security.

More people, more noise.

Some children who couldn't wait at home and were playing on the street saw the Gu family and, regardless of whether they were guests of the Gu family, reported it to the Gu family in unison.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'er knew that her old friends had arrived, so she went to the door early to greet them.

After dismounting and exchanging pleasantries, the group began unloading New Year's gifts from the carriage.

The families of the old friends were rarely seen, and since they were all elderly, Madam Huo and Aunt Xu accompanied Madam Gu to socialize.

Unlike other women, Chen Yuanwai's wife is now Lin Chang'er's sister-in-law. After exchanging greetings, Madam Chen went straight to Lin Chang'er, took her hand, and said, "Good sister, it's been a while since we last saw each other. You must keep your sister-in-law company and have a good chat!"
