Chapter 1721: Good Thing My Little Bull Wasn't Squashed Flat

Xiao Changjiang walked quickly and had already reached the storage room; hearing the call, he replied, "Wait, Great-Grandpa will be right there."

But since he had already entered the storage room, he naturally couldn't come out empty-handed.

This delay made the two little ones even more frantic.

Xiao Fu, who couldn't stand it from the courtyard, stepped forward a few paces and glared at his unreliable second daughter and second son-in-law: "You two, as parents, just watch like this? Really..."

Before he could finish scolding, that pair of unscrupulous parents slipped away.

But no one expected that Kang Bao, who rarely spoke, having just been rescued by the old master, would say: "Good thing my little bull wasn't squashed flat."

And while speaking, he was bending over, looking down at his crotch.

This remark sparked another round of laughter.

Even Fu Yan Cheng was amused by his son's words.

Liu Chuxue, the mother, spoke up: "Son, you're not wearing split-crotch pants; looking won't help."

Kang Bao raised his head, embarrassment flashing across his small face.

Thinking he wouldn't say anything more, he instead said: "I just wanted to see if I dirtied my pants."

Now everyone laughed even louder.

Fu Yan Cheng watched the pair putting on a show, his eyebrows and eyes full of smiles.

At that moment, Xiao Changjiang also came out of the storage room: "Look, how far-sighted I am."

Now everyone's gaze was drawn to the iron rings of various sizes in his hands.

Even Xiao Wanxia, who had just come out of the kitchen, was shocked: "Dad, when did you prepare so many iron rings?"

She felt a bit jealous; her own son was already six, yet her father had never prepared such things for him.

Xiao Changjiang beamed: "Earlier, I saw someone in the street playing with these and intended to make a few for the children at home, but I got busy and forgot about it."

"Before the New Year, I went to your second uncle's place and saw Shi Tou staring at those iron rings the children were playing with, so I made them together."

Saying this, he called the children over: "Come, come, come. My iron rings come in big and small sizes; choose according to your height."

The children of the main branch of the Xiao family were well-raised; Xiao Panxia from the eldest brother's house, seeing her grandfather look at her, smiled shyly: "Do I get one too?"

Xiao Changjiang was not a man who favored sons over daughters; although most children playing with iron rings in the street were boys, when he made them, he had included all the children at home: "Yes, my Panxia gets one too."

With those words, the smile on Xiao Panxia's face deepened: "Thank you, Grandpa, but I'm older; let the younger brothers and sisters choose first."

Xiao Changjiang looked gratified: "My Panxia is truly wonderful."

Praised, the young girl felt a bit embarrassed.

Liu Chuxue thought of something and looked at the eldest aunt: "Panxia should start elementary school in a few years; has the name on the household registration been changed?"

Zhang Haitang, hearing this, said: "Don't mention it. We had already chosen a name, Xiao Yuyan, but Panxia refused to change it no matter what, saying she is just Xiao Panxia."

While continuing her work with her hands, she added: "No choice; it hasn't been changed yet. Your eldest sister-in-law said Panxia is used to the name, and it isn't too unpleasant; since Panxia doesn't want to change it, let's just keep calling her that."

Liu Chuxue smiled but offered no opinion.

Within moments, each child had an iron ring; Xiao Wanxia, somewhat worried, said: "Dad, won't this cause trouble?"

Xiao Changjiang glared: "What trouble could there be? I paid for the labor and materials; it's all registered in the accounts, and I have the receipts."

Hearing this, Xiao Wanxia gave her father a direct thumbs-up: "You're awesome."

In these times, her worry was not unfounded; however, what she could think of, Xiao Changjiang could naturally think of as well.
