When he arrived at Xiao Junyi's house, he saw a room full of people, most of them were unfamiliar faces, and only a few young people looked a little strange. Dong MingLooking left and right, I didn't see familiar people, and I felt that something was wrong. He went to see the child and brought a handfulLongevity locksPut it on the child, and the child saw the lock and smiled happily. Xiao Junyi jokingly said: "This kid has not passed the door to please his father-in-law." ”Dong MingHaha laughed, and then asked Xiao Junyi how he knew that the child must be a boy.
