After looking in the mirror, the little guy was finally satisfied, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

"Sister, good-looking." The little brat pointed at the little figure in the mirror and said with satisfaction.

"Got it, got it, good-looking." Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched; indeed, he looked quite good.

This little rascal was so narcissistic, making Madam Chen in the kitchen very disdainful, not knowing whom this kid took after.

In the evening, when Li Caixia and her husband came back, the little guy quickly went to change clothes and went to show off in front of his parents.

After trying several times, the little guy could already dress himself and undress.

Watching from the side, Xu Mumu thought he couldn’t bear to look anymore. This must be inherited from their old lady, just with different ways of showing off.

But Li Caixia and Xu Hai were very supportive, thinking their son looked really good like this; their child was the best anyway.

Xu Mumu was already too lazy to watch; if their little brother kept being educated like this, who knew if he’d grow up crooked, so anxious.

After staying at home for two days, Xu Mumu started feeling a bit bored; during the days at home, besides playing with his little brother, he was either reading by himself or explaining things to Xu Minglei that he didn’t understand.

Just when Xu Mumu was feeling bored, a call came from the old home, saying Fourth Uncle’s wife had given birth to a son, and everyone in the fourth household was quite happy except for Xu Jiaojiao.

Bringing along two younger brothers with Madam Chen, they headed to the old home. With Zhou Yunhong driving, their return speed was quite fast as they arrived before noon.

Sun Huiping’s mother could help with childbirth, so she gave birth at home.

When Xu Mumu and the others returned, quite a few people had already arrived in the small yard, all relatives from the Sun Family.

Madam Chen and the others returned, and Old Lady Sun was very enthusiastic.

"The in-law family is back, come and see your little grandson; my Huiping has added a grandson to the Old Xu Family," Old Lady Sun couldn’t help but boast for her daughter.

"In-law, your thoughts are outdated; now it’s gender equality. Our Xu Family’s children, even if they’re granddaughters, are powerful," Madam Chen raised her head proudly.

"Yes, yes, your children are indeed remarkable." Old Lady Sun couldn’t refute this point. Just look at the granddaughters of the Old Xu Family, one more outstanding than another, even young Xu Jiaojiao could win awards and earn so much money, which she’s long envied. How come the Sun Family’s children generation didn’t have the success of the Xu Tao siblings?

Xu Mumu took a glance at the newborn, the little guy was still a wrinkled, reddish lump, not good-looking at all.

"Big Sister, what do I do? My brother is so ugly; I don’t want to play with him." Xu Jiaojiao looked devastated; her brother was so ugly that she didn’t want to mention him to others.

"Exactly, I don’t want to play with him either." Xu Tao looked aggrieved; his brother was born even uglier than Fengfeng and Kangkang.

"No worries, it’ll be fine after a few days; only ugly for these two days." Xu Mumu laughed and said. Although she hadn’t given birth, she knew the common knowledge and had witnessed their little brother being born.

"Really? He won’t stay like this?" Xu Jiaojiao looked at her brother, still a bit doubtful.

"Of course it’s true, all babies are like this when they’re born." Xu Mumu laughed and said.

Over here, Old Lady Sun went to help with cooking, and a big table of dishes was prepared by noon.

Old Lady Sun’s cooking skills weren’t that good. She was frugal with oil and salt, so the food tasted not so great, even meat dishes tasted bland.

"Grandma, I’ll cook tonight." Xu Jiaojiao earnestly said to Old Lady Sun. She could already cook and stir-fry dishes, although only simple ones, she felt she could make dishes tastier than Grandma’s.

"Yes, let Jiaojiao cook. Jiaojiao is a big girl now." Xu Po calmly said. After Xu Jiaojiao’s break and since Sun Huiping was unable, it was always Xu Jiaojiao who cooked, and she had tuition from Sun Huiping; it was quite up to standard, at least Xu Po thought his daughter’s cooking tasted better than his mother-in-law’s.

Old Lady Sun had come yesterday afternoon and had eaten a meal cooked by Xu Jiaojiao last night. At that time, she was distressed, thinking it was too wasteful to use so much oil, even though the family was doing well, they couldn’t be so extravagant.

But she was busy with her daughter’s matters then, and forgot to mention it.

"Jiaojiao uses too much oil when cooking; she’s a child and doesn’t understand saving, you as adults don’t supervise?" Old Lady Sun frowned. The older generations were more frugal and couldn’t bear to see Xu Jiaojiao wasting so much.

"Our family eats like this usually, the oil’s not excessive; Grandma, your cooking is not tastier than my sister’s." Xu Tao bluntly said.

Xu Mumu calmly observed this scene, too lazy to meddle, since it wasn’t her family.

After Xu Tao and Xu Jiaojiao’s break, Xu Jiaojiao took on the cooking and laundry chores, while Xu Tao was tasked with going up the mountain to collect firewood. Now it’s winter, the family burns a lot, so the firewood is consuming quickly, plus he has to collect grass for the rabbits.

Old Lady Sun: ... What on earth are they up to? Does the family think they have a mine? Being so wasteful, adding so much oil, of course it’ll taste good.

"Mom, we aren’t poor for the little oil money, let Jiaojiao practice her cooking skills, it will be good for her as a girl. You take care of my wife." Xu Po said with a smile.

In the afternoon, Xu Mumu picked out a book from the things they had brought: "Jiaojiao, this is a nutrition meals book my mom found, it notes things to be mindful of during confinement and how to make confinement meals. Take it to study." Xu Mumu handed the book to Xu Jiaojiao directly.

Letting Xu Jiaojiao handle cooking, learning some confinement meals; Xu Jiaojiao understood the contents, and the fourth household wasn’t poor, surely Xu Po would be able to buy the required things.

"Wow, thank you, Big Sister, you’re the best." Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up. This was indeed very useful; the things to note during confinement and the taboos were unknown to her as a minor girl, so the book Xu Mumu brought was very timely.

"Mom bought it, go thank her." Xu Mumu said gently; she found her mother studying nutritional books to be very useful.

In fact, these were prepared by Li Caixia for Xu Mumu; she was preparing for her daughter’s eventual grandchildren and intended to apply these things when Xu Mumu got pregnant.

Xu Jiaojiao happily stored the book away; it was a treasure. With this, she could nourish her mother to be healthy.

"Daughter, what’s this?" Xu Po curiously leaned over; he was illiterate and couldn’t understand the book.

"Dad, this is good stuff, for mom’s health. Dad, you should learn more from Uncle, now Uncle and Aunt both know lots of words, but you’re still a bit illiterate." Xu Jiaojiao looked at her dad disapprovingly; Uncle knows to strive, but her dad is still nesting in the countryside raising rabbits.
