"Dad, my big brother… no, my brother-in-law… Brother-in-law said Great-Aunt wants you to find a job for Brother Changhai. Sister said if you're going to help, help my auntie. She's close family. Both sides are close family."
Xu Changqing put a hand to her forehead.
Xu Qiguang chuckled and rubbed his son's head, then reached over to pat his daughter's. "You need to be more careful about what you say next time. Did you tell anyone else?"
"No."
"And your mom?"
"Grandma."
Xu Qiguang was speechless.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but laugh. "I swear I didn't teach him that. I never told him there are things he can't say to Mom. It was Grandma and Mom talking; they must have thought he couldn't understand them."
