Chapter 670 - The SpeeChapter of Children
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a beautiful box appeared in front of him. Inside were brightly colored red and yellow candies that all gave off a dense, sweet aroma. He raised his head and saw Third Maternal Aunt's innocent and sweet smiling face. It looked incredibly dazzling. The young woman in front of him said, "Try some. Auntie personally made these fruit juice gummies. The red ones are strawberry flavored, the yellow ones are tangerine flavored, the pink ones are honey peach flavored and the green ones are apple flavored...go ahead and find out which one you like the most, okay?"
Lu Jiarui took the candy box and smiled politely at his third maternal aunt, "Thank you, Third Maternal Aunt!" Then he took all of the boxes from his younger brothers and handed them over to the assistant behind him.
"Eh? ...Eldest Brother." Lu Jiayu was just about to pick up a piece of red fruit juice gummy but the box in front of him had suddenly disappeared. He angrily raised his head and discovered that it had been taken away from him by his eldest brother. He immediately reverted back to his pitiful demeanor and gently called out to his sibling.
"Are you telling me that the Lu Family's customs allow you guys to surround Third Maternal Aunt in the outer courtyard and beg her for candy to eat ah? Did you all forget what Mother and Maternal Grandmother told us to do when we came out ah?" Lu Jiarui was incredibly stern and solemn as he addressed his younger brothers.
The four little fellows were not afraid of anything or anyone under the heavens but they were all scared when their eldest brother's expression turned dark. When they heard his question, they exchanged looks before lowering their heads down. Only the youngest, Lu Jiapei, who was in Xiaocao's arms, acted differently. He hugged her neck and cutely said, "Mother told us to come out and welcome Third Maternal Aunt...Third Maternal Aunt, Pei'er's been very obedient and hasn't been horsing around. Can I eat a piece of sweet candy ah?"
All of the children of the Lu Family had inherited the Lu Family's good looks, especially the little devil, Lu Jiapei. Not only did he inherit all of the good-looking genes from the Lu Family, but she could also see within his eyebrows a hint of Zhu Junyang's shadow. Everyone said that nephews resembled their maternal uncles. When the little fellow grew older, he would definitely become a bewitchingly handsome young man!
Yu Xiaocao stole a kiss from the little fellow's cheek and held him as she headed towards the inner courtyard. She gently said, "Of course! In a moment, our sweet treasure Pei'er can get a whole box of candies as a reward ah!"
Lu Jiapei gleefully clapped his plump little hands when he heard this. Suddenly, he climbed closer to Xiaocao's ears and quietly asked, "Third Maternal Aunt, can you help me keep the box safe ah? When Pei'er wants to eat some, I'll go find you!"
"Why is that ah?" Yu Xiaocao felt that his request was a bit odd.
"Fourth Older Brother will trick Pei'er out of his candy ah!" Lu Jiapei pouted pitifully as he brought up his fourth brother's dark past.
Yu Xiaocao grinned until her eyes crinkled up into lines. Lu Jiayu angrily glared at his youngest brother when he saw him tattling to Third Maternal Aunt but he didn't dare to refute it. This fellow always used little tricks to swindle his brothers out of their things. Thus, the other three were on the lookout for him! As for his eldest brother, Lu Jiarui, there were two things stopping him from doing the same thing. One was that he didn't dare to and the other factor was that whenever his eldest brother got something good, he rarely used it for himself and would always share with them, his younger brothers. Thus, he didn't need to try to cheat him.
"Everyone will get their own box ah! When you're finished eating them, Auntie will make more for you! Whoever tries to steal or cheat candies from other people will be punished and will never be able to eat candies or desserts made by me!" Yu Xiaocao propped up the youngest fellow's fat butt. Although the little guy wasn't very old, he was quite heavy.
