Chapter 396 You Spoil Her
Upon hearing the name of Madam Zhao, Xiao Cao shuddered and pouted in dissatisfaction, but she kept her voice low: "Humph, Brother Xingyun is not an outsider, he will definitely not spread rumors everywhere. Besides, Brother Xingyun will also come to eat with us."
"I'll make a detailed list later, writing down all the soup base ingredients needed for hot pot. This way, whenever we want to eat hot pot in the future, we can just follow the list to prepare it. How convenient!"
After hearing what Xiaocao'er said, Qi Xingyun smiled slightly and responded gently: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaocao'er. Wait for you to write the list and give it to me. I will arrange the materials and send them over together." As he said that, he also considerately put a chopstick full of vegetables in Xiaocao'er's bowl.
Seeing how doting Qi Xingyun was on Qi Cao'er, Old Lady Yang couldn't help but shook her head helplessly, and advised earnestly: "Xingyun, don't indulge her like this all the time! If you let her do whatever she wants, this child will probably go astray and learn bad things!"
Then, Old Lady Yang sighed softly and continued, "Just like the two young ladies we met in the silver shop just now, they were probably spoiled by their families since they were young, which is why they developed such a spoiled and willful temper.
You must not spoil our little girl Xiaocao all the time. After all, our family is not as wealthy as those two young ladies, where we can let them squander money as they please."
Li, who was standing by, heard this and nodded with a worried look on her face, "That's right, Xingyun, you really have to take good care of her in the future and don't spoil her. Otherwise, if this girl becomes an unreasonable, arrogant and domineering young lady one day, what will we do then?"
However, in the face of the worries and advice from grandma and aunt, Qi Xingyun smiled slightly and responded confidently: "Grandma, aunt, you two can relax. Sister Xiaocao will never learn to be like those two young ladies just now.
"Don't you two know her character? She has always been well-behaved, sensible and kind-hearted! I believe that no matter how much I pamper her, she will never become so reckless."
"That's right, grandma, mom, don't you two trust your own children so much?" Xiaocao put down his chopsticks, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Hmph!" Old Lady Yang snorted coldly with a stern face, staring at Xiao Cao'er in front of her sternly, and said in a serious tone: "Anyway, you must not learn to act like those arrogant and domineering young ladies from aristocratic families! We are girls from a decent family, you must remember this point firmly, understand?"
Xiao Cao'er was frightened by Old Lady Yang's serious expression and dared not say a word. She just nodded slightly to show that she understood.
At this time, Qi Xingyun on the side hurriedly spoke to comfort Old Lady Yang: "Grandma, don't be too angry. In fact, the arrogant young ladies from noble families just now are only a minority after all. Most young ladies from noble families are still of good character."
"When we choose wives for Damao and his friends in the future, we will definitely not choose girls with bad personalities."
Sanmao, who was sitting at the table, was concentrating on eating. When he heard Qi Xingyun say this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
Based on his understanding of his grandmother and mother, the focus of their conversation would probably shift to his and his brothers' marriages.
So Sanmao quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, and just as he left the stool and wanted to stand up and run away, sure enough, Old Lady Yang changed the subject.
Old Lady Yang nodded repeatedly and said in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes, our family can't afford that kind of arrogant and domineering young lady."
"Damao's mother, you have to pay attention to this matter! When you visit Mr. Zheng tomorrow, remember to have a good talk with Hua Ming's wife. Our Da Mao, Er Mao, and San Mao are all old enough to find wives."
After successfully changing the topic, Xiao Cao'er's big watery eyes smiled into a crescent shape, and she looked at Qi Xingyun with joy. Qi Xingyun keenly noticed her fiery gaze, and then turned his head to meet her eyes.
Xiao Cao leaned slightly to the side and quietly moved closer to Qi Xingyun, while lowering her voice and saying, "Thank you, Brother Xingyun! When I get home, I will definitely pick out a set of well-fitting and warm down jackets for Brother Xingyun."
Hearing this, Qi Xingyun couldn't help but smile. He also turned sideways and moved closer to Xiaocao'er, and responded softly: "Okay, then brother would like to thank sister Xiaocao'er first." The distance between the two of them was instantly shortened, and the atmosphere seemed particularly intimate.
Before long, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill. At this time, Xiaoxing led a few people to swiftly clear the dishes on the table and skillfully replaced the steaming hot tea for everyone.
When it came to finding suitable wives for Damao and his family, Old Lady Yang and Mrs. Li were unwilling to wait even a moment longer.
Just after changing the tea, the impatient old lady Yang couldn't hold back her anxiety and asked hurriedly, "Xingyun, do you know any family with a girl of marriageable age?"
