Chapter 1798: Do Not Pinch My Face
On the day of Fu Yanjing's engagement, Fu Yan Cheng only returned that very day, as he had been far too busy recently.
He first drove home to pick up Liu Chuxue and the triplets before heading to his eldest uncle's house.
Since Grandfather passed away, the eldest uncle's family moved out of the compound and into the house assigned by his work unit.
Though not as spacious as the compound, with the second daughter Fu Yan Ting and the third daughter Fu Yan Zi already married, and now the fourth daughter Fu Yan Jing also getting married, only the eldest uncle and his wife along with the eldest son Fu Yankun's family would remain in the courtyard, so there was still plenty of room.
Today's engagement banquet was held right in this courtyard.
When their family arrived, they saw that the eldest brother Fu Yan Ming's family had already arrived and were chatting with the eldest uncle and his wife.
Fu Yan Cheng led his wife and children forward: "Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt."
The eldest uncle, who had been greeting everyone, smiled upon seeing their family, chatted with them for a while, then said: "Hurry and take the children to sit in that room; there are candies and snacks on the table inside for the little ones to take and eat."
Liu Chuxue signaled for the triplets to greet the elders.
The three little ones said in unison: "Great-Grandfather, Great-Grandmother, hello."
Pan Peilin, the eldest aunt, was very gentle upon seeing the triplets, a smile on her face: "Oh, it's been a while since we last met; you three have grown taller again. You're getting more and more handsome and beautiful, so fair and clean that it brings joy to look at you."
Saying this, she took Le Bao's hand: "Come, Great-Grandmother will go get you some delicious treats."
Le Bao looked up at his mother, asking for her opinion with his eyes.
Seeing the little one's manner, the eldest aunt laughed directly: "Alright, you won't leave your mother's sight; rest assured."
In that short while, many people gathered around: "Oh, so cute! Peilin, are these the triplets, your younger brother-in-law's grandchildren?"
The eldest aunt said with a touch of pride: "Indeed, it is them. How about it? They look good, don't they?"
Someone reached out to pinch Le Bao's cheek. Le Bao, frightened, stepped back: "Do not pinch my face."
That person found her even more amusing, smiling and reaching out to pinch her again. Just as Liu Chuxue was about to step forward to stop him, Fu Yan Cheng, who had been watching his wife and children, strode forward, pulled Le Bao over, and said politely to that person: "The child is still young and a bit shy with strangers; please bear with him."
Saying this, he looked at the eldest aunt Pan Peilin: "Eldest Aunt, you attend to the guests first; I will take them over to get the snacks myself."
Fu Yan Cheng spoke politely, but his expression was very serious. The eldest aunt then remembered what her sister-in-law had mentioned earlier: these little ones hated it most when others pinched their faces. "Alright, having you take them over is the same."
Fu Yankun's wife, Ruan Simin, seeing this scene, hurried forward, picked up a plate of pastries, and said: "Come, little ones, call me Auntie; I'll get you some pastries."
The three little ones rarely saw people from the eldest branch of the family and were unfamiliar with Ruan Simin, their cousin's wife. The little ones all looked up at their own father.
Fu Yan Cheng's lips curved into a smile: "This is your cousin's wife; you must remember her. Next time you meet, remember to greet her politely."
Fu Bao nodded: "We remember."
Fu Bao turned around and, leading his younger sister and brother, shouted at Ruan Simin: "Cousin's wife, hello."
Although Ruan Simin was somewhat sharp-tongued, she could read the situation. The eldest branch had only one son, her husband, so naturally, she needed to build good relations with the cousins: "Ah, come, take the pastries and eat. In a moment, Sister Jinfang and Brother Jinhui will take you to play."
Just as she finished speaking, a joyful voice came from behind her: "Mom..."
The girl was about to say something when she saw the triplets standing in front of her mother: "So cute."
Seeing that her fourth cousin Fu Yan Cheng was also there, her eyes sparkled as she said: "Fourth Uncle, may I take the younger brother and sister over there to play with my friends?"
