Ruan Jiaojiao smiled at the Li family members, "That's because Xiaohei knows Uncle Li likes Jiaojiao, so it's particularly fond of Jiaojiao."
Hearing this, Li Shu laughed heartily, praising Ruan Jiaojiao for her clever words. He had failed his college entrance exams last year and, under the arrangements of his elders, had married in a hurry. He didn't have any children yet and felt a fondness whenever he saw children, especially ones like Ruan Jiaojiao who were fair and tender and exceptionally pretty. Even though she was a girl, he liked her a lot and always enjoyed teasing her.
He asked Ruan Jiaojiao to wait for him for a moment before turning to enter his inner room. When he came back, he was holding two mint candies and patted her little head, urging her to eat them.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn't refuse, accepting them with a smile and sweetly thanked him. After greeting the enthusiastic Xiaohei, she then continued towards her family's plot of land.
