CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: DISCUSSION AT THE VILLAGE CHIEF’S HOUSE

That day, after lunch, Jiang Hu swept the floor, tidied up a bit, and was ready to leave: "Second Aunt, I’m going to the Village Chief’s house first, you stay home and rest with the kids."

"Alright, take care on the way." Second Aunt was nursing Little Lucky Star, the eldest was washing dishes, and Second Sister was wiping the table, teasing the well-fed Iron Egg.

Nobody knows when it started, but the household became like this, regardless of size, everyone joined in on the chores.

Second Aunt cooked, and she didn’t have to worry about the rest.

When Little Lucky Star heard that Daddy was leaving, she immediately stopped eating, turned her head quickly, and stretched her arms towards her father.

Daddy, take me with you! Little Lucky Star wants to go with you!

Every time there was something, she perfectly missed it, and only heard about it after from others, which was unbelievably frustrating!

She was obviously the number one involved, wasn’t she!

Second Aunt adjusted her clothes: "Haha, Little Lucky Star is in such a hurry, does she want to go with Daddy too?"

Little Lucky Star nodded repeatedly, yes, yes, she didn’t know where the Village Chief’s house was, and had never seen what Fuan Village looked like. Daddy should take her to see it.

Seeing Little Lucky Star nod, Jiang Hu and Second Aunt were stunned.

Second Aunt said, "No way, Little Lucky Star is so smart, she can understand what we’re saying?"

Jiang Hu was also incredulous, he took Little Lucky Star from Second Aunt’s arms: "Little Lucky Star, darling, if you want to go out and play with Daddy, just grab Daddy’s ear."

The next instant, Little Lucky Star’s soft, white hand held onto Jiang Hu’s ear.

Jiang Hu was delighted: "She really understands, our Little Lucky Star is indeed intelligent!"

Then he picked up Iron Egg from the small bed: "Iron Egg, do you want to go out and play with Daddy?"

Iron Egg didn’t understand, but he knew this was Dad, and being held by Daddy, he constantly giggled foolishly.

Jiang Hu placed Iron Egg back into Second Aunt’s arms, and Iron Egg began giggling foolishly at his mother.

Jiang Hu understood: "It seems only Little Lucky Star can understand."

Then his eyes crinkled with a smile: "Then Little Lucky Star will accompany Daddy."

Second Aunt promptly called out: "Brother Hu, would it be inappropriate to bring the child?"

Jiang Hu raised his chin, full of pride: "What are we afraid of, our children are all Little Lucky Stars, bringing them for good fortune, what’s wrong with that?"

Little Lucky Star giggled, her dad’s gesture exactly matched her brother’s, practically identical!

Subsequently, Jiang Hu went out with Little Lucky Star. The midday sun was a bit harsh, so Jiang Hu held Little Lucky Star with one hand and shielded her eyes from the sunlight with the other.

Jiang Hu’s hands were large, and with a palm, he completely blocked all the dazzling sunlight from Little Lucky Star’s face.

The Jiang family lived at the far end of the village, the furthest away from the Village Chief’s house. By the time Jiang Hu arrived with Little Lucky Star, the others were already seated in the Village Chief’s main room.

At a glance, Jiang Hu understood, just as he suspected, it was representatives from various villages, generally the older ones, each small group had come with one or two people.

However, Jiang Hu was surprised to see Liu Yang there; he should be the only young person besides Jiang Hu.

Seeing Jiang Hu, Liu Yang quickly stood up to greet: "Brother Hu, come and sit here."

Liu Yang pointed to the seat, which was right beside the Village Chief, the best seat, and the others were smiling without any discontent.

Jiang Hu didn’t refuse, boldly carried the child and sat down: "Sorry, Little Lucky Star insisted on being carried, so I’m late, brought Little Lucky Star with me, hope it doesn’t disturb everyone?"

Liu Yang said directly: "What’s that, Little Lucky Star is a Little Lucky Star indeed, bringing her gives us good fortune, we’re more than delighted, right, Little Lucky Star."

The last sentence was addressed to Little Lucky Star with a smile.

Little Lucky Star responded to Liu Yang twice and smiled at him.

This uncle is savvy, already helped her dad say nice things.

And her dad, really tricky, clearly finished lunch, swept the floor, and chatted with her mom for a while, only then slowly got ready to leave.

Now, it’s clear her dad purposely made these people wait a bit, and she was being made to take the blame for it.

Little Lucky Star was angry, so she reached out to Liu Yang, asking this uncle to hold her for a while.

Liu Yang was instantly flattered: "Brother Hu, does Little Lucky Star want me to hold her?"

Jiang Hu was also a bit surprised; this was the first time Little Lucky Star wanted an outsider to hold her. Previously, Liu Yang helped with work and occasionally teased Little Lucky Star, but she didn’t allow Liu Yang to hold her.

But soon Jiang Hu thought of one thing; he remembered his Little Lucky Star, though young, could already understand adult conversation!

Could it be because Liu Yang had just helped him speak earlier?

Suppressing his inward disbelief, Jiang Hu calmly handed Little Lucky Star forward a bit, with a smile: "You often help me with work, Little Lucky Star must be very familiar with you."

Liu Yang himself had raised children, so he took Little Lucky Star and quickly got comfortable, joyously holding Little Lucky Star, seemingly happier than holding his own son.

Precisely at this moment, Jiang Hu lightly coughed, attracting everyone’s attention to himself: "Dear uncles, we’ve experienced quite a bit along the way, faced numerous setbacks..."

Little Lucky Star noticed everyone’s eyes on her dad, so she secretly added some Spiritual Spring water to Liu Yang’s bowl.

She had made sure earlier when she came in, each person had a bowl of water in front of them. Since Liu Yang often helped with work and earlier helped her dad speak, she gave him some Spiritual Spring water.

Even though a little sip certainly won’t have any significant benefit, it’s still better than not having any at all, isn’t it?

As for whether Liu Yang would notice the difference in this Spiritual Spring water from the previous, Little Lucky Star wasn’t worried at all.

Discover it if you will, as long as no one saw that it was her fingertip adding the water, what’s to fear?

Once done, Little Lucky Star refocused her attention on her dad.

"Previously, I was scattered from my wife and family, but thanks to everyone’s help, we finally settled in Fuan Village."

Due to Little Lucky Star’s quick action, Jiang Hu didn’t speak much.

Then Little Lucky Star chirped, wanting to return to her father’s arms.

Liu Yang reluctantly handed Little Lucky Star back to Jiang Hu, lifting his bowl for a sip of water, and his eyes lit up, quickly taking another two sips.

Zipping his eyes around sneakily, seeing everyone focused on Jiang Hu and Little Lucky Star, he downed the rest, then poured another bowl from the nearby pot.

However, this time after taking a sip, he was instantly disappointed. In another moment, his eyes brightened again, returning to his seat, with his gaze occasionally swinging towards Little Lucky Star.

Little Lucky Star noticed, smiled at him, and then ignored him, leaning against her dad, listening to him speak while playing with her fingers.

Liu Yang’s gaze frequently shifted to Little Lucky Star, so much so that Jiang Hu got distracted, slightly turned to block Liu Yang’s view.

Even Little Lucky Star secretly exclaimed a mistake, thinking, could this guy be a child snatcher?
