Shan Sinuan paused, looked back at him and said, "I'm not going out."
"Then why are there snowy footprints on the ground at the door?" Shan Chenghao asked doubtfully.
Shan Sinuan's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said, "I don't know."
Shan Chenghao looked at her, said "Oh", turned around, slumped and fell on the sofa.
Shan Sinuan covered her chest, let out a long breath, and quickly walked into the kitchen.
I fed my brother some honey water, then carried him upstairs, sent him back to his room, helped him take off his clothes, and couldn't help complaining: "Why did you drink so much tonight? Who did you drink it with?"
Shan Chenghao squinted his eyes, chuckled twice, and muttered: "With Li Jinghan, and Mr. Mo from Yongcheng."
"Mr. Mo? You have always wanted to cooperate with him, but you have never been able to make an appointment. Today, we have an appointment." Shan Sinuan straightened the pillow and asked his brother to lie on it.
"Yes, I have to thank Li Jinghan for this. He acted as the middleman." After Shan Chenghao finished speaking, he turned around and snored instantly.
Shan Sinuan covered her brother with the quilt, put some water on the bedside table, and then quietly left the room.
I went back to my room, took a shower and skin care, and finally went to bed, got under the covers, and sent WeChat messages with Su Jincheng.
"Seventh brother-in-law, did you drink too much tonight? Thank you, he did my brother a big favor and also helped both of us."
Su Jincheng quickly replied to the message: "Fortunately, he chatted with me for a while when he came back."
"Oh, that's good. I'll have to thank my seventh brother-in-law later."
The two of them chatted one sentence at a time, and finally Shan Sinuan was so sleepy that she fell asleep first.
In the blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve soon.
That day, the weather was clear and sunny. From early in the morning, firecrackers started crackling outside.
Sunboy and Li Jinlie were playing in the yard with Little Moon. Little Moon is over one year old, cute and well-behaved. She can speak some simple short sentences and has a sweet voice, which makes her very popular.
"Brother, brother!" Little Moon, wearing two little braids, ran behind.
Li Jinglie stopped and corrected Little Moon: "You want to call me uncle."
"Brother." Little Moon looked at Li Jinlie, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.
"Uncle!" Li Jinlie corrected again.
"Brother!" Little Moon repeated.
The two Taiyang boys came over and said, "Hey, don't correct me, just call my sister whatever she wants."
Li Jinglie had no choice but to turn to the two younger brothers and said, "She is younger and you two are older, so you two have to call me uncle."
"We're not screaming!" Sunboy laughed and ran away, "Li Jinglie, come here and catch us!"
Li Jinglie put his hands on his hips, looked at the three brothers and sisters, and hummed: "You three are not big or small!"
Su Jinqi stood at the door, looking at the noisy words of the four children, and smiled before going over.
Li Jinghan came over, put his arms around his wife's shoulders, looked at the children with her, and asked curiously: "What funny thing happened to them? You seem to be very happy when you smile."
Su Jinqi said: "Xiaolie insisted on asking the three of them to call him uncle, but no one listened to him. He was so angry that he said you are neither old nor young!"
Li Jinghan also smiled and said, "We grew up together, and we didn't tell them what to call them. Now Xiaolie knows how to talk about seniority."
"But having said that, Xiaolie still calls me mom, husband, do you think it's appropriate?" Su Jinqi asked.
Li Jinghan thought for a while and said: "Let's just call it that for now. You are no different from your biological mother. Now that the children are older, they are precocious and know a lot. What if you are asked by the children in the class? What about your parents?
Why is your brother so much older than you? It’s not easy for a child to answer, so he should be thinking wildly."
Su Jinqi nodded in agreement, "That's right."
She then asked funnyly: "But, has Xiaolie ever called you daddy?"
Li Jinghan smiled and shook his head and said: "Of course not, I have been called brother since I was a child."
"Our family's random shouting makes outsiders confused when they hear it. Let's just leave it like that. You can call it whatever you want." Su Jinqi didn't hesitate anymore.
At this time, the four children saw them and ran over. Little Moon was at the end, and Li Jinglie accompanied her thoughtfully, not competing with the two brothers for first place.
Little Moon looked like she was about to cry behind her, shouting "Mom, Mom".
Su Jinqi picked her up, coaxed her, and said to the three little brothers: "Xiao Lie, please praise me for knowing how to take care of your sister."
"Mom, are they going to call me uncle?" Li Jinglie raised his head and asked, still not giving up.
Li Jinghan said: "Xiao Lie, you are of the same age, so let's call him brother or sister, okay?"
"But my seniority is higher than theirs, so Sunboy must respect me!" Li Jinglie said a little unconvinced.
"Hey, boy, do you still know the seniority? Where did you know it?" Li Jinghan asked jokingly.
"It's in the book, it's written in the book." Li Jinglie raised his neck and said proudly.
Su Jinqi touched Li Jinglie's head and said to him: "But, Xiaolie, if you let them call you uncle, then you can't call me mother, you have to call me sister-in-law."
"Ah?" Li Jinglie was dumbfounded. He was only thinking about his seniority, but ignored this.
He hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Li Jinghan said: "Come in, I'm giving out red envelopes for New Year greetings."
Taiyangzi rushed into the room as quickly as possible, calling out to Grandma, Grandma Hui, and Grandpa Kui.
Li Jinglie followed Su Jinqi behind and asked in confusion: "Mom, if I call you sister-in-law, where are my mother and father?"
Alas, the day has come, and Xiao Lie asked this doubt in his heart. She didn't know how to answer this question. To protect his young mind, she also needed a reasonable explanation. She and Li Jinghan had not discussed this issue before.
, she really didn’t know what to say.
"Xiao Lie, today is the Chinese New Year. How about your question, please wait until the Chinese New Year is over before mom can answer your question?"
Li Jinglie was also obedient, "Okay."
In the evening, a sumptuous reunion dinner was served, and the whole family sat together, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers outside and laughter.
Another year has passed, and the old man has no illness or disaster, his children are growing up healthily, and the husband and wife are loving and harmonious. Come to think of it, the most beautiful thing in the world is nothing more than this.
After dinner, Su Jinqi wanted to clean up the kitchen with her, but Zhuang Xiaomeng kicked her out.
Su Jinqi returned to the living room and sat on the sofa, leaning against Li Jinghan, watching the Spring Festival Gala together.
"Let's call my grandparents later. Then I'll call my mother and eldest sister." Su Jinqi said.
Li Jinghan put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I just finished the phone call with my grandparents. Sister, please call me later."
Su Jinqi smelled the familiar light fragrance emanating from his body and rested her chin on his shoulder, "Mr. Li, we have been together for another year."
