My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 216 - 32 Words of Heart Condemnation_2

Han Kuang was startled and said while looking into his eyes, "These eyes..."

Everyone else, due to his surprised tone, looked over and quickly noticed the issue—barely visible if not carefully observed, Little Niangao’s eye color was the same rare iron-grey as Han Kuang’s.

Shen Chi glanced at Han Shouxin, who explained in a low voice, "Our grandmother was Russian, so father’s eye color was iron-grey. None of us siblings inherited it, but unexpectedly, my nephew resembles his father."

It was said that the Russian lineage also brought many disasters to the Han Family. If not for Han Kuang’s significant contributions to the country, it was unknown whether the Han Family would have survived until the end of the Cultural Revolution to be reinstated in favor by the authorities.

Now, Han Kuang was pleased; he lifted Little Niangao onto his lap and looked into his eyes with increasing joy, thinking that even if his son no longer recognized him, his grandson’s eyes were enough to prove his Han heritage.

Shen Chi was unaware of Han Kuang’s thoughts; otherwise, he would surely have been infuriated. He was instead hoping that these eyes wouldn’t cause any trouble for his son. The old man’s situation was different; it would be bad if his son were affected when he joined the military or entered civil service.

Seeing that Little Niangao had easily gained favor in Han Kuang’s eyes, not to mention Liu Yuzhi and Dong Fei, even Han Shouyi felt a bit uncomfortable.

"By the way, Shoulu, Wanwan, let me introduce you. This is your brother-in-law Wan An, and this is my daughter Nannan," Han Shouzhen said, pointing to an ordinary-looking man and a little girl who was lying on the coffee table eating candy.

"Brother-in-law," Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoguai called out.

"Little Uncle, Little Aunt," Nannan also mumbled unclearly, being coached by her mother.

Lin Xiaoguai took out a sachet she had prepared earlier and handed it to Nannan, "Here, take this to play with."

This was also a habit she brought from her previous life. Because she loved children, she always made simple and exquisite little things like sachets, peace charms, and embroidered pouches in her spare time, to appease children.

Before, Xu Ji and Nuonuo had also received gifts; Xu Ji received a golden silk with a Jade Pendant, and Nuonuo got a sachet containing a finely carved Chenxiang wooden sculpture. But this time, the sachet for Nannan contained a tiny Guanyin Bottle the size of a little finger thumb, considering her age, and it was filled with honey and sealed with a wooden stopper.

Those jade pieces and gems might be very precious to others, but for Lin Xiaoguai, they were nothing special, as these items were sold as minerals at surprisingly cheap prices in the exchange store. It’s not that Alien Civilization’s jewelry and jade crafts lack a market, but their value system differs from Earth; in Alien Civilization, all valuable jewelry and jade pieces must have not only beautiful appearances but also practical uses, like nourishing and balancing the body. Meanwhile, the earth’s jade and gems solely possess beautiful appearances, and their prices cannot be inflated.

Of course, as a Jeweler, Lin Xiaoguai could feel a subtle difference between the jade and gems of Alien Civilization and those on Earth. The difference was not visible in appearance but could be felt during carving and polishing.

The sachet embroidered with a delicate butterfly immediately charmed Nannan, who ecstatically displayed it to Xu Ji, "Gege, gege..."

"It’s ’brother,’ not ’gege,’" Xu Ji corrected helplessly but was obviously used to it, helping her open the sachet and taking out the Guanyin Bottle to place the spout in her mouth.

"Sweet!" Nannan’s eyes brightened.

Xu Ji, seeing her delighted expression, also started to smile.

Beside them, Han Shouyi’s son, Han Shaoze, looked enviously. His cousins and sister always played well together, and even the new cousin liked joining them, leaving no one to play with him.

He glanced at his mother and grandmother, pursing his lips sadly. If he had known, he wouldn’t have listened to his mother and bullied Nuonuo, but he had only pushed her weakly once. Why was she so petty, still not talking to him after all this time? He had even given her the toy car his father had bought.

Adults naturally noticed Longlong’s gaze. Han Shouzhen sighed and continued the introductions, "This is sister-in-law Zheng Cuicui, Wanwan knows her, and you’ve met Nuonuo, whom I’ve taken to your house before. This is third brother Han Shouyi, and this is third brother’s son Han Shaoze; you can call him Longlong, and Longlong should call him Second Uncle, Second Aunt."

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt," after calling, Han Shaoze looked hopefully at Lin Xiaoguai.

Lin Xiaoguai smiled and handed him a golden silk with a small green jade ring, intricately beautiful.

However, Han Shouyi’s face stiffened. His sister always called him third brother, and he hadn’t minded before, but now it sounded particularly grating.

Having never met this "lost" second brother before, he had always thought the other man was older than him, but now he knew he was actually five years older than Shoulu, yet he had to call him second brother.

His sister’s constant calling of ’third brother’ starkly reminded him of his illegitimate status!

Even though he wasn’t adept at social niceties, he now felt deeply embarrassed. Ironically, he could blame his mother for her impure motives, accuse his wife of being utterly heartless, but he couldn’t blame his mother for giving birth to him.

Nuonuo also felt strange. Wasn’t her little uncle younger than her third uncle? Why did her aunt make Longlong call her little uncle and aunt as Second Uncle, Second Aunt?

Fortunately, she was always precocious, knew such matters should be asked privately, and planned to inquire with her parents after returning home.

After Han Shouzhen introduced everyone in the room, he somehow missed Liu Yuzhi and Dong Fei, whose faces turned shades of pale and flushed. Just as Liu Yuzhi couldn’t restrain herself and was about to regain some dignity, Shen Chi addressed her.

"Mrs. Liu, we haven’t seen each other for many years. I hope you’ve been well?" Shen Chi raised an eyebrow, his gaze piercing.

Liu Yuzhi choked on her words, faltering, not knowing what to say.

"Feeling unwell, perhaps?"

"Or, perhaps, you would like me to call you ’Aunt’?"

Shen Chi’s smile was light, but his words were heart-piercing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), and also leave monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
