Chapter One: The Birth of the Seven Fairies

Upon returning home, it was again applying iodine and then cooling oil, and finally I asked Xiao Duo: "Does it still hurt?"

One day, two people arrived in Lijiang, and the babbling brook at the doorstep reminded them of the streets they lived on during their childhood

The dining table was once again filled with laughter and cheerful voices

The elderly couple exchanged a glance and decided that, even if it meant avoiding official punishment, they would protect this post-80s individual. In the words of Mama Fan, we must ensure that our family does not leave any gaps in any era.

The four boys are all around ten years old, and in their naivety, they feel that after being big soldiers for many years, they finally have their day in the sun.

Old Five cried out, "Third Brother hit me so hard that it really hurts"

Mother Fan could not contain her joy at having a daughter in her later years: "Old Fan, do you remember when we just got married..." The birth of their daughter made her reminisce about the sweet moments of their newlywed life

Fan Xiaoduo reached the age of twenty-one without any significant obstacles. He attended university when it was time for higher education and began working when it was appropriate to do so

The eldest and the second eldest took on the role of team leaders without hesitation, calling out to their sleepy younger brothers every morning, and leading them in an orderly line to the cafeteria to fetch breakfast

He asked the third one again, "Then why are you crying?"

Fan Zheqin eagerly awaited someone to challenge Zhetian's authority, watching the spectacle with a cold gaze

From the 1960s to the 1970s, over the course of ten years, two five-year plans were exceeded, and six children were born in succession, five sons and one daughter

Lao San sobbed: "Lao Wu's kick was truly ruthless. It still hurts now"

Xiao Liu is about to execute the family law, kneeling straight on the balcony

Mother Fan looked at the exquisite and beautiful bars and coffee shops of the ancient city, and she also had a strong desire to open a shop like this

When a group of people returned home cheerfully with Xiao Duo in their arms and sat down at the dining table to eat, Fan Zhetian had not yet called Xiao Liu to get up

Thus, Mother Fan successfully gave birth to a rosy-cheeked daughter

From the age of eight, Fan Zhetian became another father figure, watching helplessly as one pink baby after another filled the corners of the home, all of whom, as soon as they could speak, would tug at his clothes and call him brother. This made the eight-year-old Fan Zhetian instantly understand the true meaning of the saying "a brother is like a father"

Colleagues at Father Fan's workplace looked enviously and said: "Old Fan, how do you manage to keep so many little ones so obedient? I only have two, and they create such a ruckus that it gives me a headache."

A sharp pain on the back of the hand, I have been stung

But where can one find someone worthy of Xiao Duo? In Fan Zhetian's eyes, Xiao Duo's boyfriend must not be inferior in appearance to himself and his four younger brothers

Regardless of the thoughts of her five elder brothers and one elder sister, Fan Xiaoduo's position in the family has always been the most special, and it has been so since her birth

Father Fan and Mother Fan exchanged a smile, moved to the point of nearly shedding tears of joy

The eldest snatched the prepared milk, while the second child, unwilling to be outdone, gently picked up the little sister. Together, they cooperated to feed her the first sip of milk.

Regardless of the thoughts of the five older brothers and one older sister, Xiao Duo's position in the family will always be the most special

Several brothers, regardless of who it was, hurriedly ran out after inquiring about the situation, and when they returned, it was the same with another one

However, the six children each have their own thoughts

Xiao Liu and the children in the yard went to the field to catch bees, and Xiao Duo, who is only five years old, held Liu Ge's hand and followed to watch them collect nectar

Fan Xiaoduo has finally gained a great reputation

With the birth of the last four children, Father Fan reluctantly implemented a militarized management system at home

Having just started working for less than two months, Fan Zhetian and Fan Zheqin received the decree from the Emperor to help Xiao Duo find a boyfriend

Since Xiao Duo was two years old, the two elders of the Fan family have been away on business trips for most of the year, spending no more than two months at home in a year

The second child, Fan Zheqin, is only two years younger than the eldest, Fan Zhetian. When she turned eight, she took on the role of her mother, Fan Mama, and together with her elder brother, became the head of the Fan family

However, I found it difficult when it came time to choose a name

After finishing the honey extraction, Xiao Liu released the bee by letting go of the tweezers

It was initially thought that the Fan family's population would no longer increase, but unexpectedly, just after turning forty, Mother Fan became pregnant again

Only the second brother, Fan Zheqin, can compete with Fan Zhetian

Every time she sees her brother coming, Xiao Duo feels particularly happy, as she can ride on her brother's shoulders to go back

This is the first time someone in the Fan family has dared to disregard the leader's orders to sympathize with those subjected to punishment, yet no one spoke up

The image is complete, and the two individuals are in a dilemma

This affectionate atmosphere brought joy to the elderly couple, making them feel that their life was much more interesting than that of their child, who stayed in the city all day waiting at the door to come home for meals. Thus, they decided to settle down in Lijiang.

Like many of her peers, stepping out of university and into society truly marked the beginning of her life. Her family believed this was a good thing; a newborn baby had finally grown up safely, and she should continue to live in peace and safety

Those who become familiar over time are referred to as Father Fan and Mother Fan, even those who are not well acquainted will address them in the same manner

Finally, Fan Zheqin made a decision: "From now on, you will mobilize your colleagues and friends to search together. Do not let any suitable candidates slip away."

Father Fan works very hard, and Mother Fan is very ambitious

The eldest and the second eldest are serving porridge from the basin, while four young boys are working together, with two carrying steamed buns and two holding side dishes, demonstrating a well-organized division of labor, which has become a notable scene in the cafeteria of the unit where Father Fan works

Brother Fan is skilled in strategy, while Sister Fan is meticulous and attentive to detail; together, they work in perfect harmony

He also wants to run over to see Xiao Duo, but he doesn't dare

The following four boys are quite orderly, with an age difference of exactly one year: Fan Zhe is fourteen, Fan Zhe Ren is thirteen, Fan Zhe He is twelve, and Xiao Liu Zhe Le is eleven

He firmly holds the position of authority in the family; with him present, no one among the younger siblings dares to cause trouble

Father Fan, feeling helpless, finally said: "Let's call her Xiaoduo, as she is a daughter that heaven has generously given to our family"

They spend their days worrying about Xiao Duo's future, holding onto the edicts of their parents.

Seeing that it was her second sister, Xiao Duo was particularly happy, as she could enjoy snacks on the way home

That tender little mouth, resembling the petals of a flower, opened and closed, startling the Fan family, who simultaneously felt a surge of affection, unwilling to let this little one suffer even the slightest grievance

He is resolute in his decisions and handles matters with fairness

Pulling Xiao Duo's hand, squeezing and pinching, made Xiao Duo feel even more pain, and tears streamed down her face.

Now that she has achieved economic independence after working, her family feels it is time to plan the next step in her life—finding a boyfriend

The two elders of the Fan family are indeed worry-free

The elderly couple felt a profound sense of happiness at the arrival of their youngest daughter

The most crucial point is that he must love Xiaoduo, and his love cannot be less than that of the Fan family.

The elderly couple of the Fan family share a deep bond, having retired for many years without concerning themselves with family matters, and they travel extensively across the beautiful landscapes of their homeland

Xiao Duo's position at home has been further solidified

At this moment, Fan Zhe returned home from work. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xiao Duo with tear-filled eyes, her little face smeared with mud and tears. Xiao Liu's face was flushed bright red, and the table was cluttered with various bottles and jars, all filled with medicine

Fan Zhetian confiscated two little figurines and asked Lao Wu: "Why are you crying?"

In a three-on-three situation, the two parties felt that their strengths were evenly matched, and they maintained a peaceful coexistence without interfering with each other

Fan Zhetian thought for a moment and said: "Old Five, you now give Old Three a slap, and Old Three, you stand still. After he finishes, you go up and kick him. Old Five, you also endure it."

Fan Zhetian shouted angrily: "If you say one more word, you are not allowed to bring Xiao Duo anymore!"

Upon the command of the first and second leaders, the four soldiers acted in unison

Father Fan believes that the scenery in Lijiang is beautiful, with a constant flow of tourists, and the interactions among them are as warm and lively as those between close neighbors.

There are not too many guests, but there are also quite a few

The two individuals opened a coffee shop in Lijiang

In Fan Zheqin's eyes, Xiaoduo's boyfriend must be more gentle and attentive than she is

At this time, the deadline for family planning had just passed two years, and the march of time had just entered the 1980s

Since her birth, with her small, flat mouth, whenever there is something delicious to eat or drink, each person sends her a portion, totaling six portions

After exchanging slaps and kicks, the two boys felt that they had avenged themselves and reconciled as if nothing had happened

The leader could not bear to scold Xiao Duo. Zhe Di, Zhe Ren, and Zhe He looked at each other, their eyes conveying the same message: this time, Xiao Duo's actions were excusable. In the future, if mistakes are made, Xiao Duo will have a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Fan Xiaoduo grew up safely and smoothly under the care of his family

In an instant, a large bump appeared, causing Xiao Duo to cry out loud in pain

Zhele softly pleaded: "Let me go with you, and I will kneel again upon your return"

Father Fan was overjoyed: "I never expected that I still have my old prowess, and I could have a Seven Fairies."

Father Fan proudly said: "I have two of the most capable soldiers under my command, and I have never had to worry at all"

At this point, it is necessary to mention the members of the Fan family

The second brother secretly calculated that if the younger sister were to side with him, Fan Zhetian's votes would clearly be at a disadvantage

Upon seeing this, the boss angrily rushed over in three steps, and after clarifying the situation, coldly said: "Xiao Liu, you go kneel on the balcony, I will take Xiao Duo to the infirmary"

In the Fan family, the eldest son is in charge of the family affairs, while the second son manages the finances, but the clientele has completely changed to include many small businesses

Every day, tourists from various places enjoy the coffee brewed by Mama Fan and the snacks she prepares, praising them endlessly. Papa Fan is warm and welcoming, with a humorous way of speaking

The elder brother looked at his younger sister and thought to himself that he must cultivate her loyalty from a young age, and he must not let her become a difficult person like Fan Zheqin

When the two elders are not at home, the ones in charge are Brother Fan and Sister Fan.

When the six people gather, Xiaoduo's future boyfriend's profile will have a few more requirements: he must be humorous and know how to cook well

But they all forgot to ask Xiao Duo for his opinion

Unanimously approved

Glancing at the other individuals at the table, each displaying a different expression, Xiao Duo wisely served each person a pair of chopsticks with food.

Unlike other families with many children, these boys are constantly noisy and fighting, competing for things, causing their parents to regret why they brought these troublesome children into the world

Xiao Liu knelt alone on the balcony, unable to hold back tears

Fan Zhetian agreed: "Yes, cast a wide net and focus on key catches"

Little Duo is still young, and neighbor Granny Chen is taking care of her, waiting for her older brother and sister to come and pick her up after school

In the blink of an eye, Fan Zhetian has turned eighteen, while Fan Zheqin stands gracefully like a sixteen-year-old flower.

The household matters were entrusted to the eldest and the second eldest, and before leaving, I repeatedly urged the two of them to take good care of Xiao Duo.

Six older brothers and sisters are facing a dilemma

In fact, Xiao Duo was just afraid that after Sixth Brother was punished, he would no longer take her out to play

Time flies

Old Five kicked Old Three, and Old Three retaliated with a slap to Old Five. Both of them began to cry simultaneously

Both individuals believe that now that Xiao Duo is working, it is time for her to have a boyfriend

Once, Lao San Fan Zhe and Lao Wu Fan Zhe got into a dispute over blowing a small figure

When he reached around the age of ten, there was a time when Father Fan and Mother Fan both went on a business trip for about a month. Before leaving, they entrusted their second child, Fan Zheqin, with one hundred yuan for household expenses. Upon their return, the second child presented a neatly organized account and even returned more than twenty yuan.

Xiao Liu told Xiao Duo: "The sweet honey you are drinking is made from this."

The eyes of six individuals were fixated on the infant lying on the bed, when suddenly a cry erupted, and the little sister opened her mouth and began to wail

Xiao Duo nodded while crying, feeling a burning sensation on the back of her hand

Father Fan and Mother Fan named their four sons with the concept of harmony among heaven, earth, and humanity. Unexpectedly, a fifth son was born. Father Fan cheerfully said: "Let it be this way, our sixth son will be named Le, bringing joy and harmony, harmonious and joyful."

The opinions of the crowd are completely inconsistent, with everyone offering their suggestions in a cacophony of voices

Thus, Xiao Duo pulled Xiao Liu up and seated him at the dining table to eat

From now on, whenever similar situations arise, Fan Zhetian will be the presiding judge, and no one will cry injustice over the cases he adjudicates

Since then, the financial authority of the household has been completely entrusted to Fan Zheqin

This is the first time that the opinions of the leader, Fan Zhetian, have gone unheard, and it is also the first time that the orders of the second-in-command, Fan Zheqin, have been rendered ineffective

Fan Zhetian is not only the eldest in the family, but also the leader among the children in the yard

Xiao Liu, feeling anxious, picked up Xiao Duo and ran home

Xiao Liu was utterly terrified

Fan Zhetian slowly spoke: "There is strength in numbers; call those few young men to discuss together."

Xiao Liu used a pair of medical tweezers to grasp the rear of a honeybee that was collecting nectar from a rapeseed flower, while the other children nearby used a small knife to scrape off the bright yellow pollen from the bee's hind legs

Xiao Duo saw this and climbed down from the dining table to pull Xiao Liu onto the balcony

Xiao Duo was very curious and reached out to touch a bee that was resting on the cauliflower beside her

Every day, if she smiles one less time at someone, that person will feel quite embarrassed among the six people.

She timidly served food to Xiao Liu first, and Xiao Liu was so touched that he secretly vowed to never let Xiao Duo be harmed for the rest of his life

Boil water, sterilize the milk bottle, prepare the formula, and test the temperature

If we do not take the two elders into account and consider the family's influence in terms of alliances, Fan Zhetian's staunch supporters are the third and fifth siblings, while Fan Zheqin's faction consists of the fourth and sixth siblings

Two individuals drew a portrait of a man, filling it with attributes such as handsome appearance, kind-heartedness, a respectable family background, and a successful career
