Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All novel Chapter 1701

Chapter 1701: Chapter 1308: Kang Li’s Teaching by Example (Part 2)

Captain Kang’s face darkened slightly; he didn’t approve of Cai Xiufen asking about the Merit Monument.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, what does it mean to show off?"

Tangyuan sat on Captain Kang’s lap. He’d caught onto this phrase Grandpa used, and couldn’t resist tilting his little head up to ask Captain Kang.

"..."

Captain Kang met Xiao Tangyuan’s bright, curious eyes. His lips moved, but he stayed quiet for quite a while. It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to explain "show off"—he was pondering whether to explain it at all to little Tangyuan.

"Fifth Brother, ’show off’ should mean ’boast’," Guoguo chimed in, her voice soft and babyish. Hearing her, Tangyuan tilted his head and thought about it, then said in his milky voice, "Since Mom did something good, I think everyone should know about it. Even if it’s boasting, what’s wrong with that!"

Guoguo: "But if that happens, people might say Mom isn’t humble."

Tangyuan: "I heard Grandpa say once that being overly humble isn’t always good. It can make people think you’re fake or slick."

Bun interrupted: "You’ve got to strike a balance."

Listening to the three kiddos talk, Min Rui got restless. He looked at Kang Li: "Mom, Bun and Tangyuan and Guoguo don’t sound like three little kids at all! They know so much!"

Kang Li chuckled softly: "Don’t you find that familiar?"

"..."

Min Rui couldn’t react for a while, not understanding what Kang Li meant.

Seems Kang Li noticed what he was thinking. She said, "When you were little, you’d stay silent most of the time, but whenever you spoke, you sounded so mature, like a little grown-up."

"I... I didn’t! I was just a kid back then. Not as precocious as Bun and the others."

Min Rui’s cheeks turned slightly red, clearly a bit embarrassed.

"Your mom’s right, you really were like a little adult when you were young." Cai Xiufen laughed, "You rarely spoke, and when you did, it never sounded childish—always so sensible."

Praised by Cai Xiufen, Min Rui’s cheeks grew even hotter. "It was tough for Mom to take care of my siblings. I didn’t want her to worry about me too."

"Silly child!"

Kang Li felt a softness in her heart. She said gently, "You’re all Mom’s kids. I worry about all of your lives and studies, but I’ve never felt it was hard. Besides, it’s a mother’s duty—just like your Grandpa and Grandma, they still worry about me and your uncles, even now!"

"With so many kids in the family, counting Xiao En, there are seven of us. My dad’s been busy with work all these years, barely any time for home. If it weren’t for Grandma and Grandpa helping Mom out, she sure would’ve suffered. And I’m the eldest; it’s only right I help lighten Mom’s load."

At this, Min Rui glanced back at Captain Kang and his wife: "Grandpa, Grandma, thank you for all you’ve done for me, Luo Minghan, Luo Mingwei, plus Bun, Tangyuan, and Guoguo over the years!"

"You silly child, what are you saying thank you for?"
