Why Are My Sixth Uncle and Youngest Aunt So Dopey?

On the day of the old lady's birthday, Su Xiajing got up early and bathed Tang Tang with Sister Wang, then dressed her in a festive outfit.

The formal birthday banquet would be held that evening.

But it was summer vacation, so the younger generation would head over in the morning to spend time with the old lady.

As a newborn great-granddaughter who had yet to meet her great-grandmother, Tang Tang naturally had to arrive early too.

Tang Beichen went to the company for an early meeting, then hurried back to take mother and daughter to the old family home.

"Have we packed enough formula and diapers?"

Tang Beichen had changed into more casual clothes. When he saw Sister Wang bring out the bag of Tang Tang's things, he walked over to check it himself.

"We'll be there all day. Should we pack a few more changes of clothes?"

"Yes, let's add another outfit."

"There'll be a lot of kids there today. Once the little ones get carried away playing, they might accidentally get Tangtang caught up in it."

Su Xiajing had been thinking the same thing and tucked a spare outfit into the bag.

Tang Tang thought, My pretty mommy really thinks of everything.

Those two little chubsters, Crybaby and Scaredy-cat, are such troublemakers. If they mess up my clothes, that'll be a real problem.

Tang Beichen: "..."

I was thinking the same thing. Why does only Mommy get praised?

His phone suddenly rang, and Tang Beichen quickly picked it up.

"What?"

"You're coming over now?"

After hanging up, Tang Beichen turned to Su Xiajing.

"Tang Lin and Tang Yuan said they're coming over so they can go with us."

The siblings were always rushing around. They were nearly there before they even called to let him know.

"Okay."

Su Xiajing checked everything they needed to bring once more. Just as she finished packing, the apartment doorbell rang.

Tang Beichen went to open the door.

"Hello, Fifth Brother! I'm here!"

Tang Yuan's cheerful voice came from the doorway. A second later, Tang Tang heard footsteps running toward the living room.

"Xiajing, is Tangtang awake or asleep?"

"She just had a bath."

Su Xiajing lifted Tang Tang out of her crib. "Come on, Tangtang. This is your youngest aunt."

"Wow, she looks so cute dressed all in red!"

Tang Yuan rushed straight over. "Hello, Tangtang! I'm your youngest aunt."

Then Tang Yuan took out a gold necklace and dangled it in front of Tang Tang.

"This is your welcome gift from your auntie!"

Word of Tang Tang's fondness for gold jewelry had already spread through the Tang Family. Though Tang Yuan found it unbelievable, she had still prepared a gold necklace-she had wanted to give her something else, since the elders must have already given the baby plenty of gold jewelry. She was still a college student, had spent most of her allowance, and couldn't afford gold.

Tang Yuan scratched her head sheepishly. "Your auntie's a little short on funds lately. I'll make it up to our Little Candy with something more valuable later!"

Yes, yes!

Thank you, Auntie! I love gold the most.

Tang Yuan: ???

Tang Tang eagerly reached out to grab the gold necklace.

While Tang Yuan stood dazed, Tang Tang took it right out of her hand.

Tang Yuan gaped, then blinked after a moment.

Did the baby just speak?

Not daring to alert anyone else, Tang Yuan quietly watched Su Xiajing.

Didn't Xiajing hear our Little Candy talking?

Sensing her gaze, Su Xiajing slowly turned her head.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Yuan: "..."

She didn't hear it?

Tang Yuan shook her head, then looked back at Tang Tang. "Little Candy?"

Tang Tang was studying her too. Why does my youngest aunt look so spacey?

Tang Yuan: "..."

That confirmed it.

It really was their Little Candy speaking.

Only she could hear her, though.

What is this?

The mind-reading that's so popular in novels these days?

"Who are you talking to?"

Tang Lin came in with his son, following Tang Beichen.

He had heard an unfamiliar voice, and it had even called someone "Auntie."

Had someone arrived before them?

But when he entered the living room, Tang Lin saw only Su Xiajing, Tang Yuan, and Tang Tang in her mother's arms.

Aside from Tang Tang, none of the younger generation were there.

Then who had been speaking just now?

When she saw that Tang Ziyang had come too, Tang Tang immediately shifted her gaze from the gold necklace and stared straight at her fourth older brother.

Fourth Brother! I finally get to see you!

Come a little closer, Fourth Brother! Hurry, let me see what you looked like as a kid!

Her fourth older brother, Tang Ziyang, had been the only one who hadn't looked at her like some country bumpkin when she returned to the Tang Family in her previous lives. He had also been the only brother who cared about her.

Tang Tang had wanted to see him for so long.

Unfortunately, she hadn't been able to see him since she was born.

And her fourth older brother was still a child himself, so he couldn't come visit her alone.

Today, she finally got to see the miniature version of her fourth older brother.

Tang Lin: "..."

The one calling Ziyang "Fourth Brother" was definitely their Little Candy.

But why could a newborn baby barely over thirty days old talk?

No, their Little Candy had only been cooing just now. She hadn't spoken at all.

Then what was he hearing?

"Daddy!"

Tang Ziyang had also been startled by Tang Tang's voice and scrambled behind his father.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Lin looked at his son curiously.

Tang Ziyang stared at Tang Tang in fear. "My little sister!"

"Your little sister... Oh, right, your little sister." Tang Lin pointed at Tang Tang and turned to Tang Beichen. "A-Chen, how come your Little Candy..."

Tang Tang couldn't understand it. What's going on? It's one thing for my youngest aunt to be spacey, but why is my sixth uncle such a dope when he's young too?

I remember my third grandpa's family being perfectly normal. Why are my uncle and aunt both so silly when they're young?

Tang Lin and Tang Yuan were the children of the third Tang brother. Tang Lin was only a few months younger than Tang Beichen, so the two cousins called each other by name.

Tang Lin: "..."

Tang Yuan: "..."

"What about my Tangtang?"

Tang Beichen knocked his hand aside in displeasure. "I know you're jealous of how cute my Tangtang is, but don't point at her."

Tang Lin: "..."

He and Su Xiajing were both so calm. Could they really not hear her?

"I just thought Tangtang looked really cute in that outfit."

Tang Lin forced down his shock and lowered his head to reassure his son. "Your little sister wants to play with you. Why don't you go play with her, Ziyang?"

Tang Ziyang looked at Tang Tang. At last, with his father's encouragement, he ran over.

Although this little sister was rather strange, if Daddy said it was fine, then it must be fine.
