The kangs in both rooms were heated, and Xiao Furen even lit a brazier and brought it inside. The rooms weren't large, so they warmed up in no time.
Grandma then got onto the kang and unwrapped Niu Niu from his swaddling blanket, letting him lie there and kick his legs freely.
Nearby, Xiao Hu and Yuan Si lay side-by-side, chatting idly, their eyes darting over toward Grandma.
"Auntie, do you think Grandma is playing favorites?" Xiao Hu asked suddenly.
"Huh? Oh, of course," Yuan Si started complaining to the boy without a hint of shame. "Now that your grandma has her grandson, she's completely satisfied. Me, her daughter, I've been cast aside."
"Hmph, listen to yourself. My grandson is well-behaved, unlike you—always acting like a stubborn mule. You're all grown up but still so flighty." The kang wasn't that big; of course Grandma could hear them talking.
