Chapter 279: In this day and age, whether it's elders or

Wang Amei didn't follow her aunt's words to belittle her cousins, nor would she really not give snacks to her cousins.

What parents don't love their children?

If there are, they are the exception.

Poor children become the masters of the house early; she came to stay, so she had to please everyone in her aunt's house.

Even if her aunt and uncle were very welcoming to her arrival, she couldn't be arrogant and put the cart before the horse.

So when her aunt complained about her cousins, she listened quietly and didn't express any opinion.

After Wang Mingkui finished rambling, she felt much more comfortable.

Looking at her sensible and quiet eldest niece, she could only sigh that her brother and sister-in-law had taught her well.

Her eldest niece was polite, didn't talk too much, and was a sensible good child.

After the passenger ship docked and the anchor was dropped, Wang Mingkui estimated that the time was about right, so she took her eldest niece to the deck to line up to get off the ship...

"Sister-in-law Li, I'm here to get the bicycle. This is my eldest niece. Does she look like me?"

"Oh, she does. Mingkui, how old is your eldest niece this year? Is she promised to anyone?"

"Just an adult. I gave birth to a daughter, so my brother and sister-in-law let her come to take care of me and the child. She's not promised to anyone yet, but there's no rush. It's not too late to keep her by my side for a year or two."

"Sigh, with an aunt like you, the little girl will definitely be able to find a good in-law family."

"Borrow your auspicious words; I'll definitely give you wedding candy then."

"Good, good, good."

Wang Amei lowered her eyes shyly, obediently waiting for her aunt to finish chatting and laughing with the auntie in the shed by the road.

"Ding-a-ling."

After Wang Mingkui carried her eldest niece away from the pier, when there were fewer people, she slowed down and explained:

"Amei, if anyone asks if you have a partner in the future, just say there's no rush and you want to stay at home for a year or two."

"Saying this is to protect your reputation and save some trouble."

"Your marriage will be calculated by your uncle and me. If there is a suitable person, we will bring them home and let you see them to cultivate feelings first."

"You are still young; don't rush to get married. Stay by your aunt's side first and enjoy life."

"Mm, I know Aunt is doing this for my own good. I will listen to Aunt."

Wang Amei nodded, her lips curving.

She trusted her aunt; listening to her aunt was never wrong.

"I'll take you to the family quarters to recognize the door."

"Good."

Amei's luggage was just a small bag with two changes of clothes; there was nothing else.

No need to go home specially to deliver luggage, Wang Mingkui rode her bike directly, first taking her eldest niece to register at the military region, then going to the family quarters, the younger brother's house, to pick up the children.

She was afraid that her two stinky boys wouldn't know their limits and would eat and drink wildly at the younger brother's house; how bad would that be?

"Don't be nervous. I know all the military wives here. I'll take you around in front of everyone a few times, and you'll all be familiar with each other."

"Mm."

Wang Amei only felt that her eyes weren't enough to see; the atmosphere in the military region family quarters was completely different from her rural hometown.

People here dressed well and had a good mental outlook; no wonder her parents told her repeatedly that she must stay...

On this side, Elder Lu was cooking noodles in the kitchen, and a group of old friends were teasing the little ones in the living room.

Estimating that there would be many people at noon, he threw in a big handful.

Not enough, right? Today there were also Political Commissar Ji's two boys; throw in another handful.

One pot wasn't enough, right? Never mind, cook one pot first; if it's not enough, cook more.

"Old Lintou, go to the courtyard and pull a few green vegetables; we'll put them in the noodles later."

"Coming, coming, stop calling my soul; you'll scare the children."

Elder Lin retorted to his old friend's soul-calling in a tone of "annoyed to death."

Why call him when there were so many people? He was so angry!

"Hmph."

Elder Lu held his chin high, and before he could continue speaking, there was a knock on the courtyard door—

"Knock, knock, knock."

Wang Mingkui found that the courtyard door wasn't bolted, so after knocking, she pushed the door and entered, signaling her eldest niece to come in and recognize the people.

"Grandpa Lu, it's me. I'm here to pick up my boys and daughter to go home."

Elder Lu wiped the water from his palms, covered the pot, walked out of the kitchen, and said with a smile:

"Go home? It's noon; just stay for lunch. It's just adding a pair of chopsticks; come in, come in."

"No, no, I—"

Wang Mingkui was flattered; these retired old leaders didn't lose their momentum, and she really couldn't handle it.

"Stay. Is this your eldest niece?"

Elder Lu invited her enthusiastically, his gaze falling on the cautious little girl behind the other party, smiling and soothing:

"Little girl, don't be reserved. Come around more in the future; we all welcome you."

"Thank you, Grandpa Lu."

Wang Amei was flattered and rarely cleverly said something sweet.

Actually, when she was in her hometown, she was very clumsy with her mouth; her parents always said she was like a wooden gourd and told her she must change this problem.

In this day and age, whether it's elders or... they all like little girls with sweet mouths.

"This, sigh, Grandpa Lu, another day I'll send two strips of cured meat I made, and pickled beans, please taste my craft."

Wang Mingkui saw that it wasn't good to decline again, so she readily agreed, thinking of turning around to send some food, otherwise, she would always feel uncomfortable in her heart.

"Done, come in and sit. Your Si Si is very lively."

Elder Lu still had to watch the pot, so he didn't lead people into the house.

On the contrary, the two Ji Weiguo brothers, after hearing their mother and cousin's voices, immediately ran out and shouted—

"Oh, Mom, you're back! Cousin, I'm Weiguo."

"Cousin, I'm Weijia. One of the little ones lying on the ground in the room is my sister, Si Si."

The two Ji brothers sensibly came over to take care of their cousin, pulling their cousin and chattering endlessly.

They remembered that when they were young, they went back to their maternal grandmother's house with their parents, and their cousin had held them, carried them on her back, held their hands, and taken them to the river to catch snails.

"Weiguo, Weijia, you've grown so big?

Si Si, I'm your cousin; I'll help your mother take care of you in the future."

Wang Amei saw that the two little cousins had a close attitude toward her, and the worry in her heart relaxed a lot.

Actually, they hadn't seen each other for more than four years; the last time they met was at their grandfather's funeral.

In a blink of an eye, the two cousins had grown taller, almost to her shoulder!

There was definitely a sense of strangeness, and there was also unease, but fortunately, the two cousins were as sticky to her as when they were young, which made her not feel too estranged.

"Cousin, this is Yinuo, nickname Nuomi; this is Tianqi, nickname Mantou; and this nursing baby is their cousin Ailian, nickname Lian Lian..."

In the children's world, there weren't as many twists and turns as adults; the two brothers were at Aunt Shen's house without any restraint, staying very naturally.

Aunt Shen also made them cat ears they liked; they were delicious, crispy, and fragrant.

If it weren't for the fact that their sister hadn't grown teeth yet, they would have wanted to share them with their sister.

"Iyayaya."

"Mm."

"Iyayaya."

The few little ones who were named all stared at the strange faces without exception.

Among them, Xiao Mantou looked away coldly, focusing on drinking milk.

Looking closely, there was a small red mark on Xiao Mantou's cheek that hadn't faded yet... ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
