Chapter 31 A Family of Jokers

"Do you think Young Uncle is madly in love with Young Aunt?"

Tang Chuxia asked curiously.

"Must be!"

Tang Jianjun nodded in agreement, "Otherwise, he wouldn't be so fierce!"

Zheng Daqing tsk-tsked, "Not necessarily, maybe he's just afraid of his wife going off the rails and picking a fight with Su Lan!"

Speaking of which, Zheng Daqing, who lived nearby, knew the situation best. Despite being a high school student, he overheard bits and pieces about family matters.

Tang Chuxia peeked again and, seeing that they were still at it, retracted her head and asked her grandmother, "After Young Uncle came back, did Young Aunt often come to you to 'feed dog food'?"

Madam Tang slapped Tang Chuxia lightly, "Speak properly, what do you mean by 'feeding dog food'?"

Tang Chuxia then realized and explained, "Basically, it means that Young Uncle and Young Aunt aren't acting like regular people. They're like dogs; the moment they have something worth showing off, they flaunt it, which is commonly known as 'feeding dog food', forcing others to face what they're doing."

This explanation was pretty straightforward, Zheng Daqing nodded fiercely, "Well, my Uncle's alright, but my Aunt is really doggy!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

Madam Tang slapped her grandson on the forehead, annoyed, "Speak properly! That's your uncle!"

Zheng Daqing chuckled, "But I'm just telling the truth, right, cousin?"

Tang Jianjun laughed, "Grandma, from another perspective, this shows that Young Uncle and Young Aunt have a really good relationship. They really shouldn't put off having kids any longer!"

Tang Chuxia was also curious why Young Uncle had no children after so many years.

The old gentleman couldn't bear to watch as the adults and children clung to the door frame, spying on his son and daughter-in-law canoodling inside the house, which was quite unseemly. But as the decision-maker in the household was his wife, he didn't dare to raise the issue.

Fortunately, Zheng Shenping, the old gentleman's eldest son, came home from work and saw them all standing at the door, so he inquired curiously.

"Dad, Young Uncle and Young Aunt are inside!" Zheng Daqing kindly reminded.

Zheng Shenping was puzzled but still peeked inside cautiously, and then: "Wow..."

Got it!

No wonder the whole family didn't want to go inside.

Zheng Shenping withdrew his head, "We still can't stand at the door like this!"

He had just finished speaking when his wife came back, cycling, and seeing the family at the door, she also asked out of curiosity.

Zheng Daqing mechanically repeated what he had just said, "Mom, Young Uncle and Young Aunt are inside!"

Lu Yueqin, with years of experience as a daughter-in-law, peeked inside cautiously, "Wow!!!"

Got it...

Lu Yueqin pulled back her head, "But we can't just stand at the door!"

Tang Chuxia and her siblings Tang Jian and Tang Chu exchanged looks: Jianguo, Young Uncle and Young Aunt truly are one family, just look at their identical reactions.

It was rather funny.

Then Jianguo arrived, and the process was repeated!

Then Young Aunts arrived, and the process was repeated!

Then Young Uncle arrived, and the process was repeated!

Then Young Aunt arrived, and the process was repeated!

...

Tang Chuxia couldn't help it; she buried her face in her second brother's chest and began to laugh uncontrollably.

She finally understood that her grandmother's family was truly harmonious.

"They haven't finished kissing yet?"

Madam Tang was also laughing uncontrollably, mainly because her youngest son and daughter-in-law had been kissing for quite some time now.

Tang Jian checked his watch, very seriously, "Twelve minutes and thirty-six seconds!"

Tang Jianjun rubbed his chin, "Aren't they afraid of wearing out their lips?"

Zheng Daqing kept clicking his tongue in wonder, "Do Young Uncle and Young Aunt have iron mouths?"

Tang Chuxia: ...

You all are geniuses!

Indeed, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

In the end, it was Tang Chuxia's mother who worried about the children, and after work, she rode her bike over. Seeing the whole family at the doorway—all ages clinging to the doorframe to peer inside, her eldest son even raising his wrist to check his watch and count—,

She couldn't just cling to the doorway. Standing in the center, she saw the situation inside the house and was speechless with shock.

Being the only girl of her generation in the Zheng Family, and the youngest, she immediately yelled, "Brother, sister-in-law, that's enough, really. Even if it's all legal and aboveboard, you should still be mindful of the influence! And you two—are you lip-locked fish? Can't you separate your mouths?"

After Madam Tang finished yelling, the group of young and old straightened up behind the doorframe.

Those who were fixing their clothes did so,

Those who were fixing their hair did so,

Those who were arranging the air arranged the air!

...

Rubbing her cheek muscles sore from laughing, Tang Chauxia followed Madam Tang into the yard.

As it turned out, the Young Uncle and Young Aunt were still not separated.

It wasn't until she got closer that she heard Young Uncle's frustrated shout, "Kiss a ghost, it's your sister-in-law's hair that got caught in my clothes, it's wrapped too tight; we can't get it loose!"

Tang Chuxia tiptoed for a better look and saw that it was indeed the case.

The family all exclaimed: Ah~~~ Oh~~~ Tsk!!!!

Such a reaction.

Tang Chuxia didn't know how to define this family.

It was the oldest aunt who reacted fastest, "I said, you're both adults, how could you behave so shamelessly, kissing in front of your parents?"

The Young Aunt's face turned intensely red, and she stamped her foot in embarrassment, "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? I do want to kiss, but sadly, that's not the case!"

Oldest aunt: ...

You really didn't have to respond!

The younger generation was chased out to 'get soy sauce,' so to speak, while the daughters-in-law all went to the kitchen to cook, as for the men, they were summoned by the old man to the study for a talking-to.

Once they were outside, Tang Chuxia and Zheng Daqing couldn't help but laugh so hard they slapped their thighs.

Zheng Daqing was the most exaggerated, "My little aunt actually wanted to kiss my uncle! Not afraid of bad breath?"

As he laughed, he suddenly noticed the silence and looked toward his cousin and Tang Chuxia, only to see Tang Chuxia asking with a deadly serious face, "Have you ever kissed a girl?"

Zheng Daqing instantly blushed, waving his hands frantically, "Impossible, cousin, don't talk nonsense!"

Tang Chuxia nodded affirmatively, "You have, and you were well-prepared for it, a premeditated kiss!"

Zheng Daqing grew even more anxious, almost stammering.

But the more he denied it, the more convinced Tang Chuxia became.

"So, did the girl complain about your bad breath?"

Zheng Daqing covered his mouth.

Tang Chuxia burst out laughing.

Tang Jianguo and Tang Jianjun, the two brothers, patted their cousin's shoulder unkindly, "Kid, didn't you know to brush your teeth before kissing?"

"I did!!!"

After Zheng Daqing made his defense, he saw the mischievous trio of siblings, "Oh~~~~ so you really did kiss!"

Zheng Daqing: ...

Ashamed and indignant, he roared, "Tang Chuxia, you've gone bad too!"

Tang Chuxia wiggled her finger, "No, no, no, I've never gone bad; it's you who has. Even at my age, I still don't know about tasting bad breath when kissing, unlike you, my dear cousin!"

Zheng Daqing: ... "You were engaged!"

Tang Chuxia nodded, "But I called it off, didn't I?"

Zheng Daqing: "You were engaged and never kissed?"

Tang Chuxia nodded again, "Of course not, otherwise Hu Mingcheng wouldn't be left with a bruised nose and swollen face!" She said with a brilliant smile, leaving Zheng Daqing wide-eyed.

"That brutal?"

Tang Chuxia patted his shoulder, "Cousin, remember, if you're not going to marry the girl, don't just go around kissing her, otherwise you won't even know how it ended up that your mouth could get cut up!"
