“How come I didn’t know that?”


“If you knew, I’d have to beat you up!”


“I don’t believe yoU!”


As the two brothers bickered, the Cheng’s couple smiled. Cheng XiaoXiao glanced at her own little sister and knew exactly how Cheng Zheng Yuanfelt. “I believe it….”


The two brothers didn’t expect Cheng Xiao Xiao to chime in and bothturned to look at her. Little Zheng Bin exclaimed, “Big sister, how do youknow?!”

“Of course I know, I get kicked every night too!” said Cheng Xiao Xiaoall the more seriously.

“Oh?” Little Zheng Bin rolled his eyes, “How is that possible? Maybe Ihave kicked older brother a few times here and there. How could I have kicked you?”


“Who said it was you who kicked me?” Cheng Xiao Xiao reached out anddrummed on his little head with her knuckles, “You think you are the only onewho knows how to kick? Little Lan Lan was as strong as you in her kickings!”


“Big sister, did I really kick you? How come I don’t remember any ofit?” Little Lan Lan, who was curled up in her mother’s arms widened her eyes;her little face baffled, she was never aware of that.


“Of course it’s true!” said both Cheng Xiao Xiao and Cheng Zheng Yuanboth said affirmatively.


“Ho ho ho…”


The Cheng’s couple laughed. Mrs. Cheng cupped her youngest daughter’slittle face in her hand and said lovingly, “That’s how little kids sleep. Theyalways kick in their sleep and kick those sleeping next to them.”


“You guys will soon sleep in your own bed, this won’t ever happenagain!”


Cheng Biyuan looked at his kids in front of him. A flash of guiltpa.s.sed through his eyes. If it was others’ kids, they’d have their own placewhen they turn five. Whereas his own kids were still sleeping in the same bedafter ten; that surely was very inconvenient.


“In the next day or two, I’ll review the lunar calendar with PatriarchLui. If there’s a good day on the calendar, we will move in in the next day orso. With our current situation, we can skip having a while banquet; we willjust have the villagers over for a meal!”


“Dad!”


Hearing what her father had said, Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned a little andsaid, “In my opinion, let’s skip the meal altogether for now. We are still amonth or two away from completion. Let’s wait until the entire construction isdone. Even though we have a lot of people right now, it’s still a ha.s.sle tohave a feast.”


“Well, this….”


“Mom, dad, don’t worry too much. Let’s think about what’s the mostconvenient for us right now!”


The Cheng’s couple exchanged a look and Cheng Biyuan nodded, “Okay,let’s follow Xiao Xiao’s suggestion then. We will move in first and inviteeveryone over for dinner after our construction is completed.”


“Oh, by the way, mom, dad, there are a few helpers that we will needto fire!” Cheng Xiao Xiao remembered the few helpers who were slower orsloppier.


Cheng Biyuan replied casually, “Okay, you and your mother can takecare of that.”


“Xiao Xiao, you are referring to the few from Willow Village, aren’tyou?” asked Mrs. Cheng in a soft voice.


With the exception of the few that were brought back by Cheng XiaoXiao, the rest are the big kids from Willow. Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded at hermother’s obvious question.


“Mom, we are not here to raise kids for others. If they can’t cut it,we can’t keep them. We have already stated this explicitly!”


“Hmm, alright. Let’s at least give them some compensation then!” Mrs. Chengunderstood that Cheng Xiao Xiao only have the family’s best interest in mindand nodded.


Cheng Xiao Xiao thought about it for a while and said, “Okay, let’sinvite Patriarch Liu over tomorrow. It’s better with him around!”


“Okay!”


The entire family agreed that Patriarch Liu was quite authoritativeamong the villagers.
