Chapter 1657: Recognized

Liu Chuxue and the others slept in until naturally waking on the second day of the New Year, ate their meal, and only then took the triplets out.

When the jeep arrived at Xiao Fu's house, many people ran out into the yard upon hearing the commotion.

Xiao Nianchun smiled as she took Le Bao from Liu Chuxue's arms: "It's been a few days and you've gotten heavier again. Le Bao, call Great-Aunt."

The little one's pronunciation had become much clearer these past few days: "Great-Aunt."

Xiao Nianchun kissed Le Bao's cheek: "Come, let's go inside to see Uncle."

Xiao Mu also ran out at this moment, wiping her hands on her apron: "Come, come, let me hold one."

Afterward, Xiao Fu took one as well, while Fu Yan Cheng carried the New Year gifts from the car, about to enter the yard.

Just then, someone nearby said: "Oh my goodness, this fish is so big; it must be at least over ten jin!"

"Brother Xiao, your two daughters married well. Look at these New Year gifts: cigarettes, alcohol, tea, fish, and even pastries. What good fortune."

Xiao Fu's face glowed red; the life he was living now was something he never dared to imagine before.

Now he had a son, and his daughters and sons-in-law were capable; who in this neighborhood didn't envy them? Many families had their eyes on Chunxiao, the youngest daughter.

As they just entered the yard, they saw Xiao Laoyezi and Aunt Miao.

Liu Chuxue smiled and stepped forward: "Grandpa, Aunt, didn't you say you were spending the New Year at the ancestral land? When did you return?"

Xiao Laoyezi looked very spirited: "It's your eldest uncle. He kept calling the ancestral land nonstop. If I didn't come back, he wouldn't stop. Your aunt and I had no choice but to return to Beijing."

Miao Yiqiu smiled and stepped forward, holding three thick red envelopes: "Here, red envelopes from Great-Aunt."

The triplets pressed their palms together before their chests and said in unison: "Thank you, Great-Aunt."

Liu Chuxue corrected them: "You must call her Great-Great-Aunt."

Le Bao became unhappy: "That's too long."

Just then, Xiao Dabo walked over: "The children are too young; it's normal they can't remember. Since that's the case, don't say Great-Great-Aunt either. Just call her Great-Aunt. It's simpler."

Upon hearing this, not only was Miao Yiqiu stunned, but even Laoyezi was stunned, while Xiao Nianchun's eyes reddened: "Eldest Brother, thank you."

Miao Yiqiu's eyes also reddened; she looked up at Xiao Laoyezi, actually just waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Laoyezi's mood was also unsettled: "Indeed, it is too long and hard to say. Calling her Great-Aunt is fine."

Seeing that Laoyezi had spoken, Liu Chuxue smiled at the children: "Come, now it's simple. From now on, call her Great-Aunt. Did you remember?"

The children called out in unison. At this, Miao Yiqiu's voice was slightly choked: "Yes, yes. Come, Great-Aunt has prepared delicious food for you."

Miao Yiqiu ushered the children inside, and Laoyezi followed them in.

Liu Chuxue exchanged a glance with the cousin who had just come out of the house, then looked at Xiao Dabo; the meaning was unmistakable.

Xiao Dabo merely glared at them: "Call her however you should call her. Why are you looking at me?"

Hearing her eldest brother's words, Xiao Nianchun felt not the slightest unhappiness.

It had been agreed beforehand that in the future, Laoyezi would be buried together with his first wife, who was the biological mother of Eldest Brother and Second Brother, while her own mother would be buried with her former lover.

It was just that this single title of "Great-Aunt" was Eldest Brother and Second Brother's recognition of her mother's contributions over so many years.

Just as Liu Chuxue was about to enter the house, she heard Duan Ruirui's voice from inside: "Liu Chuxue, what are you dawdling outside for?"

Upon hearing that voice, Liu Chuxue paid no attention to anything else: "Coming, coming."
