Doudou's happy eyes turned into crescents, she peeled off another candy and handed it to Grandpa Fang.
Grandpa Fang quickly came over and opened his mouth to take it.
Doudou asked: "Grandpa, is it sweet?"
Grandpa Fang nodded sharply and said with a cheerful smile: "Sweet, the candies my Doudou gave me are not sweet."
Doudou became even more happy. She got off Grandma Fang's body, peeled off a piece of candy and gave it to Lin Mai, who also ate it.
Xiao Douding took out another White Rabbit toffee, stared at Fang Zhuoran for a moment, then peeled off the White Rabbit candy in full view of everyone and put it into his mouth.
Fang Zhuoran, who was waiting for the little cub to be fed, felt lonely for a while and touched his chin uncomfortably.
Lin Mai squatted down and asked Doudou in confusion: "Why don't you give your uncle some candy? Your uncle carried you back all the way."
Doudou shyly took out a White Rabbit toffee from his pocket and put it in Lin Mai's hand, whispering: "Mom, help me feed it to my uncle."
After that, he timidly hid behind Grandpa Fang, stretched out his little head and peeked at Fang Zhuoran.
The old couple all laughed: "Doudou is a little afraid of Zhuoran."
Grandpa Fang took Doudou out from behind and held him in his arms. He pointed at Fang Zhuoran and said, "Uncle Fang is a good man, you don't have to be afraid of him."
When she thought of Fang Zhuoran chasing the robber, Doudou still refused to get close to him.
Lin Mai stood up, smiled and handed the White Rabbit toffee that Doudou had given to Fang Zhuoran.
Fang Zhuoran also smiled and took it, then peeled off the candy wrapper, put the White Rabbit toffee into his mouth, and touched Doudou's little head: "Thank you for the candy, it's so sweet."
Doudou smiled sheepishly at him.
Lin Mai took out the woolen jacket, woolen pants, socks and cotton shoes he bought for the old couple and let them try them on.
The two old men said that she was a waste of money, but she was very honest about her body. They happily tried it on on the spot and found that it fit her perfectly.
Fang Zhuoran's eyes glanced back and forth at Lin Mai, his daughter, and the two old men.
Lin Mai and her daughter were dressed so shabbily, but they were not lenient at all when they spent money on his grandparents.
Grandma Fang touched the woolen coat on her body and said to Lin Mai: "You said we are old, why do we still wear such good clothes? It is a down jacket and a woolen coat. I will buy it for you and Doudou in the future.
."
Only then did Fang Zhuoran realize that the old couple were wearing down jackets instead of artificial cotton jackets. He couldn't help but secretly glance at Lin Mai a few more times.
Lin Mai put all the gifts he bought for the old couple on the dining table and said with a smile: "I also bought new clothes for myself and Doudou."
Doudou jumped and said: "Mom, I also want to wear new clothes."
Lin Mai touched her little head and said, "You can't put on new clothes until after the New Year's Eve dinner and a bath."
Grandpa and Grandma Fang quickly took off their new clothes: "Grandpa and Grandma are just trying it on now and wearing it at night."
Doudou then calmed down.
Fang Zhuoran also took out the gifts he brought for the two elders from his big denim bag. There was a lot of food and clothing, and the elders were very happy.
Grandma Fang plucked through the things Fang Zhuoran had brought, took two boxes of cream and said angrily: "The two boxes of clam oil and two boxes of Pechoin you asked Maizi to bring me last time haven't been used up yet, and you buy this again, I
You're not a young girl, so why would you need so much face paint?"
Fang Zhuoran was stunned for a moment, then understood. He glanced at Lin Mai, and Grandma Fang said, "If you don't use up, give some to Grandpa."
Grandma Fang rolled her eyes and said, "What use is he for an old man!"
He stuffed a box of cream into Lin Mai's arms and said, "Take it and use it."
"This..." Lin Mai was a little embarrassed.
Fang Zhuoran gave this to Grandma Fang out of filial piety, but he always felt that it was not good for him to accept it.
Fang Zhuoran said gently: "Grandma gives it to you, just take it."
Lin Mai then put the box of cream into his pocket.
Grandpa Fang held up the raw beef and tripe wrapped in layers of plastic and said with a smile, "This is good stuff. Let's have a plate of it just like New Year's Eve dinner."
Lin Mai hurriedly took off the scarf around his neck and gave it back to Fang Zhuoran, rolled up his sleeves and volunteered to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Grandma Fang was not polite to her, she regarded her as her granddaughter.
There are many ingredients in the kitchen and the ingredients are abundant, making a table of delicious food is not a problem.
Just now, Grandpa Fang said that he hopes to have beef and tripe for the New Year’s Eve dinner. Beef and tripe are best when braised.
Lin Mai had just started making brine when Grandma Fang walked in with a towel.
Lin Mai asked: "Grandma, do you want to wash your face? I'll get some water for you." After saying that, he picked up the washbasin and poured some water into it.
Grandma Fang shook her head: "It's not that I want to wash my face, it's that I want to apply it to Zhuoran's face. He has several marks on his face from Doudou. If he doesn't apply it, the guests will have to ask questions when they see it tomorrow."
Grandma Fang picked up a basin of cold water prepared by Lin Mai, put the towel in the basin and went out.
Fang Zhuoran's gentle and jade-like voice came from the main room: "Doudou, didn't you say you wanted to apply it on uncle's face?"
Doudou hesitated and didn't know what he was talking about.
Half a minute later, Xiao Douding ran in and pulled Lin Mai towards the main room: "Mom, please help me apply it on uncle's face. I'm a little afraid of him..."
Lin Mai, who was pulled in front of Fang Zhuoran, had no choice but to apply a mask on Fang Zhuoran's face for the little guy.
A mother has to deal with the trouble her child has caused.
Originally I just applied it on my face, but Lin Mai thought it was nothing.
But she was too close and their breathing was entangled. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed and her face felt a little hot.
Fang Zhuoran was quarreling with her, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that her facial features were exquisite, but it was a pity that she was too dark, otherwise she would be a great beauty who would be loved by everyone and would be loved by everyone.
Suddenly I smelled the fragrance that I smelled on the bus again, it was so refreshing and intoxicating.
He looked at the black beauty in front of him in a daze.
Lin Mai was a little shy to begin with, but he was even more embarrassed when he stared at her so unscrupulously.
After finally applying it to Fang Zhuoran's face, he immediately went to the kitchen to work.
After preparing the brine and cooking it on the stove, Lin Mai had to clean the beef, tripe and other ingredients.
Fang Zhuoran walked in at some point and took the ingredients from her hand: "The water is cold in winter, I'll wash it."
Lin Mai did not compete with him and prepared other dishes.
Fang Zhuoran came back from washing the ingredients and saw that she had already started cooking. He put down the washed ingredients and sat in front of the stove to light the fire very naturally.
Lin Mai smiled at him and continued busy.
Fang Zhuoran raised his eyes to look at her. Under the dim light of the oil lamp, she looked beautiful as she concentrated on cooking.
Because we had to make braised vegetables, Dongpo pork, steamed pork with rice flour, and braised pork... These dishes were more time-consuming, so we had been busy for nearly two hours before Lin Mai finished a New Year's Eve dinner.
In the past, when we had New Year's Eve dinner and fried New Year's Eve whippings, Grandpa Fang was the only one frying whippings at the door, while Grandma Fang prepared the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen.
But this year, Fang Zhuoran is here, so the heavy responsibility of exploding the whip falls on him, while others are responsible for watching.
The neighbor next door also came out to check the New Year's Eve whip, and greeted Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang with a smile: "My grandson is back to celebrate the New Year with you."
Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang all responded proudly.
