Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1803 - 1333: Did You Really Say That? (2)

The three little buns spoke in sweet, childish voices in perfect unison. The next moment, Min Rui started playing the prelude to "Mom Loves Me, I Love Mom" on the erhu, and the three buns began their synchronized performance.

They sang while doing hand gestures as part of their dance.

"Spring rain falls, nourishing the tender buds, the breeze brushes my cheeks and I bloom... Mom loves me, I love mom, Mom, you love me, watching me grow up..."

The three have delicate features—Bun and Tangyuan are mini versions of Luo Yanqing, while Guoguo is a miniature Kang Li. Right now, all three’s expressions are earnest and adorable, singing and dancing with hand movements. Not only were Captain Kang, Cai Xiufen, and Kang Yichen—the older generation and cousins—watching intently, even Zhiran and Zhiyin, as well as Kang Yiyang and Lin Dan’s son, Kang Guoan and Wang Pan’s son, were all watching with full concentration.

Thunderous applause erupted as soon as the three buns finished their performance. Everyone in the room was grinning, clapping "clap clap clap" for a long time, and the three buns’ cheeks turned red, but still kept serious faces, bowed, and thanked everyone in their soft voices.

Zhiran and Zhiyin were conceived before Yan Rou married Kang Yihong. However, the two girls did not know their background, and no one in Old Kang’s Home would gossip in front of them.

Then it was Kang Guoan’s son and Kang Yiyang’s son’s turn to perform. One sang a short children’s song in a childish voice, while the other, with the help of mom Lin Dan, made three funny faces in a row.

After all, the little ones are so young—they can barely talk, let alone sing or tell stories.

Once the grandchildren and great-grandchildren finished their performances, Kang Yilin suggested playing poker. Instantly, voices echoed in agreement, and the sound of moving tables and chairs followed.

Those who didn’t want to play cards sat together, munching sunflower seeds and chatting. Anyhow, both young and old, everyone enjoyed this New Year’s Eve especially happily tonight.

The next day was the first day of the lunar year. Led by Captain Kang, Big Brother Kang and his brothers, as well as Kang Li with the young ones, went to Big Uncle Kang’s House to pay respects to Grandpa Kang and Grandma Kang.

Of course, Young Uncle Kang’s whole family also came to Big Uncle Kang’s House.

Grandpa Kang and Grandma Kang were absolutely overjoyed, handing out red envelopes one by one to their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

As for how much money was inside, nobody cared—everyone knew it was all for festive cheer.

Once the first day was over, time seemed to fly by. Before you knew it, it was already the fifth day, and tomorrow the Ecological Recycling Park would open. Then, after the sixth day, by the seventh, Kang Li would have to set off for North City.

In the afternoon, Kang Li returned from the Ecological Recycling Park. She walked into Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen’s room.

"Come up onto the kang and warm yourself."

The weather had been decent the past couple days, but the wind was strong. Stepping outside, you felt the icy cold cut to the bone.

Kang Li didn’t hesitate, took off her shoes, and went up onto the kang, settling in by the window.

"Where are my dad and my older brother?"

The house was especially quiet at the moment. Apart from a few kids playing at the gate, no one else was around, so Kang Li couldn’t help asking Cai Xiufen.

"They went to your big uncle’s house."

After hearing Cai Xiufen’s answer, Kang Li asked, "Did both my big brother and second brother go?"

"Your big brother, second brother, and little brother all went with your dad. As for your third and fourth brothers, I don’t know where they went."

"What about Chenchen and the others?"

"They said they’re leaving in a day or two, going to a classmate’s house."

"Are Lin Dan and Yan Rou in their room?"

"Yeah."

Cai Xiufen picked up a fruit plate from the kang cabinet and set it in front of Kang Li: "Have a tangerine."

"Okay."

Kang Li picked one up, peeled it, then split it in half and handed a piece to Cai Xiufen. She said, "We’re heading out the day after tomorrow at noon."

"Alright."

Cai Xiufen nodded.

"My dad’s been calling nonstop for me to go back to North City these couple days. Sometimes I think, he’s like a kid who never grew up."

Kang Li smiled and shook her head, popping a tangerine segment into her mouth.

Hearing this, Cai Xiufen couldn’t help but glance at her in mild rebuke: "Mind your words! Your dad cares about you, that’s why he wants to spend more time with you. Besides, how many years has it been? Except for that one time with you-know-who, he’s never found anyone else,

Now, he and your grandfather live in that huge house, and during New Year’s, of course he wants company and noise. You and the kids are all back home—for all he might not feel lonely, your grandfather’s New Year probably hasn’t been too cheerful."

"What can I do about it?"

Kang Li shrugged, "I can’t just stay in North City and not come home to celebrate Grandpa’s birthday, right?"

Cai Xiufen: "Be nice to your grandfather and your dad."

"Mom, listen to yourself. I really respect elders and care for the young. When it comes to my dad and grandfather, I think I treat them pretty well. But after all, I’m just one person, I can’t split myself in half—half at home, half in North City spending New Year with them."

People have feelings. Ever since Kang Li was reunited with Kang Bo Ya and Kang Hong Fa, she could feel the genuine kindness from her "bargain" dad and grandpa—it was from the heart.

Since they gave their true feelings, naturally she gave hers too, treating them as family.

She respected them, tried to be filial in front of them, and when she had free time, she would bring the kids—big and small—to visit. All in all, Kang Li felt she had done what a granddaughter and daughter ought to do.
