BXBX NOVEL Chapter 598: They Are All My Little Brothers
Su Shen approached Gu Zi, his arm naturally wrapping around his wife. He addressed his mother-in-law, “How could it be embarrassing? Seeing how much father cherishes it, it must be well-written.”
Lin Lao’er retrieved the calligraphy from the box. The paper had yellowed with age, but the ink was still clear and vivid.
The calligraphy sheets were spread out in the box, without a single crease or tear, preserved perfectly. Lin Lao’er said, “It’s not just because the writing is good, but also because this was your mother’s most cherished hobby. I wanted to preserve it well.”
The impact of Lin Lao’er’s words was no less than a young man’s passionate confession. Gu Zi couldn’t help but feel envious.
Lin Cheng and Li Hua couldn’t help but laugh. Everyone’s attention naturally focused on Mother Lin, the recipient of the confession. Gu Zi couldn’t help but tease, “Wow, mom, I didn’t know dad could be so romantic. You two really know how to keep secrets…”
Everyone had undoubtedly been dazzled by their parents’ display of affection. As the youngest daughter in the family, Gu Zi couldn’t help but tease. Mother Lin blushed, but she couldn’t bring herself to scold her daughter. Holding Su Le, she freed one hand to lightly slap her husband, warning, “You talk too much. If you want to look at the calligraphy, then look. We still have to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner.”
Lin Lao’er was scolded, but he was happy. He took out the calligraphy to show everyone. Everyone suppressed their laughter and began to appreciate the calligraphy. Upon seeing it, they were taken aback. Su Li and Li Hua exclaimed almost simultaneously, “This is too beautiful!”
Su Li picked it up to examine it closely. Li Hua, pulling her husband Lin Cheng, excitedly asked, “Why didn’t you tell me your mother had this talent? It’s amazing. No wonder I always thought your handwriting was beautiful. It must be hereditary.”
Lin Cheng scratched his head awkwardly and said, “Mom didn’t want me to talk about it before. I gradually forgot that she could write calligraphy, so I never mentioned it.”
Gu Zi picked up a sheet of calligraphy, and Su Shen helped her hold the other side. The couple looked at the same sheet for a long time. Gu Zi said, “I think it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say a professional calligrapher wrote this. It’s really amazing, Su Shen, do you know calligraphy?”
When she asked this, she already had a rough idea of the answer. She had seen Su Shen’s handwriting. It was beautiful, strong, and powerful. It seemed that he had also studied calligraphy. Su Shen nodded and replied, “I know a little.”
Gu Zi looked at him, raising her eyebrows slightly. “A little,” he said again. This husband of hers really knew how to keep secrets!
During the process of everyone appreciating the calligraphy, Lin Lao’er didn’t stop talking. His tone was full of pride, constantly praising his wife’s writing. Although his words of praise were repetitive, he insisted on praising her many times. By the time everyone finished appreciating the calligraphy, they had had their fill of sweetness.
The Lin family hadn’t bought a television yet. After lunch, everyone cleaned up together, then chatted and rested. They then began preparing the evening’s lavish dishes. Everyone gathered together happily, not bored at all.
Moreover, it was New Year’s Eve. The adults had to prepare to worship their ancestors, prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner, and prepare the things needed for staying up all night. They also had to prepare red envelopes in advance…
Although these were small tasks, they added up to quite a lot. Everyone was very busy and didn’t have time to sit down and watch TV.
The three children didn’t need to worry at all. Su Bing and Su Li took their little sister out to play. They caught bugs in the fields and picked fruit from the trees. Not long after they left, when they returned to the brick house, they were followed by a line of more than a dozen little followers. The procession behind them was impressive. The children who had received Su Li’s origami all recognized Su Li as their big brother.
Seeing this, Gu Zi couldn’t help but shiver. No wonder in the original book, the second child could become a gang leader when he grew up. Wasn’t this charisma already taking shape?
However, she believed that the second child would not follow the old path. His charisma was just part of his personality. She didn’t need to be constantly on edge, overly worried that the two children would follow the old path.
Gu Zi was still relaxed. She waved and greeted the large group, teasing, “Su Li, I heard your generation is a bit off. Your brother is the eldest, so how did you become the big brother?”
Hearing his mother’s question, Su Li raised his arm with a leader’s demeanor, and the children behind him obediently stopped. Su Li ran over to Gu Zi and explained seriously, “What’s the big deal? They are my little brothers. My big brother is still my big brother. As long as they respect my big brother with me, it’s fine. Mom, they will also respect you because they are all my little brothers!”
