Chapter 401 Godfather! Godmother!
Amidst Wang Weiwei's excited laughter, Yu Huan deftly opened the trunk of the BMW and methodically placed the large and small bags in his hands one by one.
Not a moment.
With a muffled bang, Yu Huan closed the tailgate and then turned his gaze to the group of people not far away.
Wang Weiwei hugged the teddy bear tightly, which was almost as tall as her and much rounder, while Sister Ru helped by holding one of the bear's arms to prevent it from falling to the ground.
Sister Ru turned slightly to the side, gently stroking Wang Weiwei's forehead with one hand, and said, "Little one, do you like this little bear?"
Wang Weiwei hugged the teddy bear tightly, as if afraid it would suddenly disappear, nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
Her clear, bright voice was full of childlike innocence and joy: "I love it! I love it so much!"
"If you like it, why don't you say thank you?"
Upon hearing her mother's words, Wang Weiwei immediately turned her head, her big eyes sparkling, and first saw Xing Yujia.
She called out in a clear, bell-like voice, "Thank you, Aunt Yujia!"
Upon hearing this, Xing Yujia quickly waved her hand and emphasized with a smile, "No need to thank me, Aunt Susu and Uncle Shuai bought it for you."
Sister Ru gently patted Wang Weiwei's head and said with a smile, "Aunt Yujia carried the teddy bear all the way. You should say you've had a hard time."
"Aunt Yujia, you've worked so hard!" Wang Weiwei said, then quickly turned to the side.
She rested her pointed chin on the back of the teddy bear's head and looked at Lin Yourong, saying, "Thank you, Aunt Susu, for buying me this teddy bear!"
Lin Yourong bent down slightly, gently pinched Wang Weiwei's cheek, and said softly, "Weiwei is such a good girl. This is a New Year's gift from your uncle and aunt~"
Wang Weiwei laughed happily after hearing Lin Yourong's words.
She suddenly saw Yu Huan approaching and immediately said, "Handsome Uncle, I will definitely play nicely with Little Bear."
Yu Huan smiled and patted her head, saying, "Since you like this teddy bear so much, you must take good care of it in the future. For example, now that we're going to eat, you should put it in the car first so it doesn't get dirty."
Sister Ru gently tugged at the doll's arm and quickly chimed in, "Uncle Shuai is right. Let's put the teddy bear in the car and play with it after we finish eating."
"OK then."
Although Wang Weiwei's voice carried a hint of reluctance, she still obediently let go of his hand.
She followed closely behind Sister Ru, watching longingly as her mother put the teddy bear into the back seat.
After Sister Ru took a step back, Wang Weiwei immediately stepped forward with some concern, adjusted the bear's backrest to a comfortable position, and then slowly closed the car door.
Lin Yourong watched from the side and praised, "Weiwei is so sensible~"
Xing Yujia smiled and said, "She was really sensible today. Usually, if Sister Ru goes out to do something and doesn't take her with her, she'll cause a huge commotion at home."
Sister Ru nodded, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "Baby, you really surprised everyone today."
When Wang Weiwei heard the adults talking about her, and they seemed to be praising her, a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on her little face.
She tugged at Lin Yourong's sleeve and whispered, "Aunt Susu, I'll be very sensible from now on~"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong reached out and pinched Wang Weiwei's cheek, but suddenly her phone rang in her pocket.
She took out her phone, glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and answered without hesitation.
Yu Huan stood to the side with her hands on her hips. Seeing that she only said "oh" a few times before putting the phone down from her ear, she asked casually with some curiosity, "Was it Dad who called?"
Lin Yourong nodded: "Let's go to the place to eat first. He went to the card room to find my mom and the others."
"it is good."
After Yu Huan responded, he squatted down, slightly opened his arms towards the king, and said with a smile:
"Come here, let Uncle hug you."
Seeing this, Wang Weiwei let go of Lin Yourong's clothes and happily jumped into Yu Huan's arms.
Sister Ru smiled and said, "Yu Huan, don't spoil her."
Yu Huan held Wang Weiwei steadily, stood up, and said half-jokingly, "Weiwei is so cute, it's okay to spoil her a little."
Upon hearing this, Wang Weiwei immediately hugged Yu Huan's neck and exclaimed, "Handsome Uncle is the best to me!"
Seeing this, Sister Ru quickly followed Yu Huan. Her eyes darted around, and then she suddenly said, "Yu Huan, since you and Su Su like my baby so much, how about I become your goddaughter?"
Yu Huan was slightly taken aback when she heard this.
Before he could even speak, Lin Yourong immediately nodded in agreement: "Sure."
As she spoke, she quickened her pace, walked to Yu Huan's side, lifted the brim of her hat, and looked at the little guy with a happy smile.
"Weiwei, would you like to be my and Uncle Shuai's goddaughter?"
Wang Weiwei nodded excitedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and said in a voice full of doubt, "Okay, I want to be Aunt Susu and Uncle Shuai's goddaughter!"
Yu Huan reached out and teased her soft cheek with her finger, and said with a smile, "There should be some rules and ceremonies for recognizing a goddaughter, right?"
Sister Ru quickly waved her hand: "Hey! What era are we living in? We don't care about these formalities. It's just a matter of changing the way we address each other."
Wang Weiwei bounced gently up and down in Yu Huan's arms with his steps.
She turned to look at Sister Ru, and said, seemingly understanding but not quite, "Mom, does that mean I can't call Uncle Shuai and Aunt Su Su anymore?"
Sister Ru smiled and reached out to pat Wang Weiwei's head, saying, "You can call Uncle Shuai your godfather and Aunt Susu your godmother from now on."
Wang Weiwei blinked her big eyes, immediately turned around, and called out in a clear voice, "Godfather! Godmother!"
Yu Huan and Lin Yourong exchanged a smile.
He kissed the little girl's plump cheeks through his mask and said, "Weiwei is such a good girl. From now on, you'll be our goddaughter."
Wang Weiwei wrapped her arms around Yu Huan's neck and said in a clear voice, "Godfather, will you still buy me delicious food and fun things in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Sister Ru playfully pinched her ear and said, "You little rascal, you've only called me godfather and godmother twice and you're already asking for this and that?"
Wang Weiwei looked at Sister Ru with a serious expression and explained, "Mom, I didn't ask for this or that! My godparents are good to me and always buy me delicious food and fun things, so that's why I asked!"
Yu Huan burst into laughter at her childlike words.
Lin Yourong said softly with a smile in her voice, "Don't worry, Weiwei, your godmother and godfather will definitely buy you lots of delicious food and fun things in the future."
Upon hearing this, Wang Weiwei's eyes narrowed into slits with joy, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Godmother is the best! Godfather is the best too!"
Yu Huan gently pinched her little nose and said with a smile, "When we bought you the teddy bear, we also bought a lot of red envelopes. After we finish eating, we'll have your godmother give you another red envelope, okay?"
"A red envelope?" Wang Weiwei nodded vigorously, "Great! I want a big red envelope!"
Sister Ru quickly waved her hand and said, "This won't do. No need for the red envelope. You've already been so good to Weiwei. I really don't want you to spend any more money—"
Yu Huan hugged Wang Weiwei up a little and said half-jokingly, "Sister Ru, what are you saying? How much money can a red envelope hold? It's really not a big expense. It's just a small token of our appreciation."
“Exactly,” Lin Yourong quickly chimed in. “Besides, since Weiwei will be our goddaughter from now on, it’s only right that we dote on her.”
Upon hearing their conversation, Sister Ru suddenly seemed to remember something and couldn't help but cough softly.
As she took a step forward, she leaned slightly forward and looked at Lin Yourong, saying, "Susu, wouldn't we be in-laws then?"
“That’s right,” Yu Huan replied with a smile.
Listening to their conversation in Yu Huan's arms, Wang Weiwei asked, seemingly understanding but not quite, "From now on, we're a family?"
Yu Huan smiled and patted Wang Weiwei's head.
Lin Yourong looked at Wang Weiwei with gentle eyes and smiled as she followed up on her words, saying, "Yes, Weiwei, we're family from now on."
Although Sister Ru knew that you shouldn't take what children say seriously, she couldn't stop smiling when she heard this.
Amidst laughter and conversation, the group passed through the small commodity wholesale market and entered the Xiahe Street area.
Sister Ru suddenly said to Wang Weiwei with a slightly serious tone, "Little one, there will be many grandpas and grandmas at dinner later, so you have to be good and not be naughty. You have to greet them properly, okay?"
Wang Weiwei blinked her big eyes and nodded obediently, saying, "Okay, Mom, I'll be very good." Compared to the chess and card room, the restaurant wasn't as deep inside.
Yu Huan followed Lin Yourong's pace, and soon after, carrying Wang Weiwei, they turned and walked into a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.
The husband-and-wife shop that Lin Yourong mentioned was not big. There were small square tables placed against the wall on the outside, and two large round tables on the inside.
There is also an open staircase leading to the second floor on one side of the middle of the shop.
Several old-fashioned chandeliers hung from the ceiling, their bright light shining on the slightly worn but gleaming tables and chairs, while a faint smell of cooking oil permeated the air.
It was still early, and there were few diners in the room except for a plump middle-aged woman sitting in a chair, watching the wall-mounted TV with a bored expression.
Sister Ru quickened her pace and passed by the young couple, then stepped forward and said with a smile, "Boss lady, my uncle has booked a private room here tonight."
The proprietress turned around upon hearing the sound, her gaze sweeping over the group of people. She carefully examined the couple wearing masks before looking at Sister Ru.
A smile spread across her face as she asked, "Beautiful lady, is your uncle's surname Lin?"
"Yes." Sister Ru nodded. "He's still in the mahjong room. We came over first."
The proprietress gestured and said repeatedly, "Then please go upstairs. There are only two unlocked private rooms upstairs. They are the same, so you can sit in either one. Your uncle has already ordered the food. I will serve it to you once everyone is here."
"Okay," Sister Ru replied with a smile.
The group went up to the second floor.
Under Sister Ru's expert guidance, they entered the private rooms on one side of the stairwell one after another.
In the small space, there was a large round table and some chairs in the center, with almost no other furnishings, making it look very tidy.
Lin Yourong walked straight to the window, looking down at the gradually darkening bluestone alleyway.
She pulled her mask down to the tip of her nose and glanced back in the direction she had come from.
Seeing this, Sister Ru also stepped forward and peered out the window, laughing and saying, "They finished at 5:30, so they should be here soon."
"Mm." Lin Yourong nodded.
Yu Huan held Wang Weiwei in one arm and pulled out a chair with the other, placing her on it and instructing, "Weiwei, sit here and don't move around."
Wang Weiwei nodded obediently: "Okay, handsome godfather!"
Lin Yourong felt the coolness in the breeze and closed the window without thinking. She and Sister Ru then turned around and sat down.
They had just been chatting about trivial matters in their lives when a sudden commotion erupted in the hallway.
Upon hearing her mother's hearty laughter, Sister Ru immediately stood up: "They've arrived!"
The next moment, the door was pushed open.
Old Lin turned around and smiled at Wang Han, then stepped inside.
When Wang Weiwei saw who it was, she quickly slid off the chair.
She stood ramrod straight and greeted them quickly, "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!"
"Hey!" Old Lin replied with a beaming smile, "Such a sweet tongue!"
talking.
Old Lin stepped forward and patted Wang Weiwei's head.
Upon hearing Sister Ru call out "Uncle Lin," he responded with a smile, "Little Ru, you're quite good at taking care of the child. Before, when she saw us, she would just lower her head and not say a word—"
As soon as Aunt Hong entered the door, upon hearing this, she quickly said, "Weiwei was little before, but now that she's grown up, she's naturally more sensible. My Weiwei is very smart!"
“Exactly, it’s like they’re making it sound like Hongmei doesn’t know how to manage people,” the mother-in-law chimed in with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone took their seats.
The kitchen must have been prepared beforehand, because they started serving the dishes very quickly.
Because there were many people, Wang Weiwei shared a chair with Aunt Hong, eating steamed egg and rice, occasionally interjecting with childlike remarks that made everyone laugh.
Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the meal quickly came to an end.
After meal.
The group slowly descended the open staircase.
Old Lin took the lead, walking steadily at the very front.
He greeted the proprietress wearing an apron diagonally below him with a smile: "The food was quite good today, thank you!"
Upon hearing the sound, the proprietress hurried over to greet her.
She stopped at the foot of the stairs, smiling broadly as she warmly replied, "Brother Lin, you're too kind of yourself!"
talking.
Her gaze naturally moved upwards and landed on Wang Han.
This famous host was neither wearing a mask nor sunglasses at this moment, completely unlike his solemn appearance in a suit and tie on stage.
He casually chewed betel nut, looking just like an ordinary passerby, inconspicuous in a crowd.
The proprietress said with a beaming smile, "Wang Han, you're a rare guest! You must come often!"
Wang Han put the betel nut between his teeth, grinned, and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely come again in the future."
At this moment, the few sparse diners on the first floor all turned their attention to this group of people.
Upon hearing the proprietress call out her name, and seeing her familiar face and voice, the diners' eyes revealed surprise and curiosity.
Surprisingly, I ran into Wang Han.
What's intriguing is that there are also two other people, a man and a woman, wearing masks so their faces aren't visible...
They scanned the two men back and forth, trying to guess their identities from their figures and mannerisms.
A few bolder diners not only whispered among themselves, but some even took out their phones to take pictures.
Wang Han, however, showed no discomfort whatsoever, as if he were used to being in the public eye. He followed closely behind Lao Lin, walking straight out.
As the dark sky gradually enveloped the city, the temperature dropped rapidly.
The warm breeze that had been gentle during the day had now turned quite cold, and a chill permeated the air.
Outside the store, the storefronts of various small shops stand side by side, their colorful lights intertwined.
The tall buildings in the distance stood silently in the night, forming a stark contrast with the low-rise neon-lit alleyways, as if two different worlds were converging here.
Old Lin stopped at one side of the door.
A cold wind blew in his face, and he subconsciously tightened his collar, saying with a sigh, "The weather changes so fast. It's warm during the day and chilly at night. I feel like I need to put on two more layers."
Wang Han jokingly laughed and said, "Brother Lin, you're not trying to find an excuse to go back, are you? We agreed to play cards tonight. I'm going to win back what I lost from Sister Fang from you."
Hearing the sarcastic remark, Old Lin retorted sharply, "Little Wang, don't be too confident. Whether you can even break even today is still a question. With your skill level, winning back what you lost to me won't be so easy."
The mother-in-law stepped out the door, looked at the two bickering on one side, and smiled as she continued, "Playing cards is all about luck. Maybe Xiao Wang will have good luck again tonight."
Wang Han nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Lin, you can't be too sure of yourself. Maybe I'll turn my luck around tonight and beat you all to a pulp."
Lin Yourong, who was following closely behind her mother-in-law, asked curiously, "Mom, are you going to play here tonight?"
"No, I'll go with you." The mother-in-law looked back at her daughter, then at her son-in-law beside her, and said with a smile, "Xiao Yu, could you please take me home by taking a slightly longer route?"
Yu Huan paused slightly, then quickly nodded in response, "Mom, it's no trouble at all."
