Fang Rui smiled at Sanniang's affectionate eyes and patted her hand under the table.

The third wife trembled, a blush as bright as a cloud appeared on her fair face, and she hurriedly taught her to cover it up: "Nanny, from now on, Brother Ari, Ling'er will be your brother and sister, you have to listen to them,

It’s like listening to mother’s words, do you understand?”

"Yeah, my daughter is very well-behaved."

Although Nannan didn't understand how they suddenly became a family, she did not reject the sudden addition of brothers and sisters. On the contrary, she had a good impression of them.

and……

She knew that her mother was very happy last night and smiled more than before. She also knew that her mother hoped that she and Fang Ling would get along well.

My daughter will naturally do what her mother wants; if her mother is happy, she will be happy too.

Fang Rui, Fang Ling, and Nannan slept together last night. Fang Rui was keenly aware of some of these things.

'Nanny, I can't say that I am deliberately trying to please Ling'er... It's just that the third sister's hope and the meaning of coming here to be under someone else's roof do make Ling'er a little bit more...'

'This girl has inherited the intelligence of the third sister. In such a family environment, she is relatively precocious...Compared to Ling'er, she does have more thoughts...'

Fang Rui has not forgotten that back then, this little loli wanted to abduct him with a meal to treat the Third Lady.

'However, the little girl has a good heart...and no matter what, she is still a child about the same size as Ling'er!'

His eyes were gentle and he touched his head with compassion: "Nanny is so good!"

"Okay, let's all eat!"

Fang Rui served food to everyone, first the daughter, Fang Ling, then the third wife, and then the Fang Xue family. From childhood to adulthood, they served first as guest and then as host.

——It is said that they are a family, the three wives, and the daughter's mentality may not change for a while. They are only half guests, so naturally they have to take care of them.

Just as he promised, unless there are irresistible circumstances, he will treat Sanniangzi and Nannan the same as he treats Fang Xue and Fang Ling.

"Wow! It's delicious! This one is delicious too!" Fang Ling's little face was full of satisfaction.

Nannan is quieter, and her big eyes are curved into crescent moons - these meals are of course very good and fragrant, and are better than what her family used to eat!

Fang Xue and the third lady didn't say anything, but Fang Rui could feel the joy and liking in their hearts.

After all, it is human nature to yearn for delicious food.

A lunch passed briskly amidst such joy and laughter.

…

Afternoon.

Mrs. Fang Xue was sewing clothes under the eaves of the corridor.

Fang Rui asked strangely: "Mom, aren't Ling'er and I's clothes already sewn? This is...oh!"

Before he finished speaking, he reacted: "It's the third sister, Nannan's?!"

"Um."

Mrs. Fang Xue bit the thread with her teeth, agreed, and rolled her eyes at Fang Rui: "Isn't this a good thing you did? The three girls followed you without a name. How can I treat one favorably and not give her and my daughter a share?"

"Ahem!"

Fang Rui coughed awkwardly: "Thank you, mother."

"Auntie, I'm here to help too!"

The third wife came out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

——It was Mrs. Fang Xue who wanted to wash the dishes, but she took the lead and went there first.

Sanniangzi is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, diligent, and clever. After getting along with her for a long time, there is no barrier between her and Fang Xue.

It made Fang Xue feel like getting along with her daughter-in-law in advance, and it also made her regret more than once: If the third wife was younger, a young girl with no children, and promised Fang Rui, that would be great...

"Mom, you sit down while I take Third Sister to find needlework!"

Entering the room, Fang Rui helped Sanniang take off her apron from behind, hugged her, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and smelled the orchid-like fragrance.

"Brother Rui, this is no place, Auntie is waiting!" The third lady felt something, her white and tender earlobes were bright red.

"Third sister, how could I be so ridiculous?"

Fang Rui still has this kind of restraint.

"It's just... Third sister, tell the truth, do you want to..." He pushed forward.

"me……"

The third wife was embarrassed to speak, but thinking of Fang Rui's care and love, she couldn't help but be moved by it. She was filled with admiration, mustered up the courage, and responded weakly: "I thought..."

Two short words, but more sultry than the most touching words of love, making Fang Rui furious.

If this was not a place, he would probably...

call!

Fang Rui leaned close to the third lady, buried his head in the waterfall of green hair, took a deep breath, and then pecked her cheek before helping to find the needle and thread.

The two of them went out.

The third lady's face still had a faint blush like the sunset.

Fang Xue was calm on the surface, but when she turned her head, she gave Fang Rui a fierce look.

"Ahem... Ling'er, Nannan, come here, I'll tell you a story."

"Brother, you are so kind!"

"Coming!"

…

Mr. Fang Xue, the third lady is doing needlework and gossiping about the family.

Fang Rui told Fang Ling and Nannan a story.

At some point, Mr. Fang Xue and Mrs. Sanniang stopped chatting and were all listening intently.

The afternoon time is like the growth rings of an old tree, spreading out in circles over the years. The floating light and shadow in front of the window is like the yellowish background of an old picture slowly unfolding.

The dead flow like a river, slowly.
