Mr. He opposite looked up and said: "Forget it, don't force the child if he doesn't want to eat."
"Qingqing, what did mother usually tell you? Who knew that every grain of food on the plate was worked hard, how could you waste food? That is not a good boy." Zhu Shasha said and pushed her son, indicating that he should go back and eat the food quickly.
over.
"I won't eat it. The egg custard made by grandma is so unpalatable that I don't want to eat it."
Qingqing is a little afraid of his grandparents, but his mother always said that he should be sweet-tongued around them and not disobey them. He is still a little timid when his parents are not around and dare not speak at all. Now that the couple are here, especially they have been doting on him.
His Zhu Shasha, Qingqing seemed to have found support, so she pouted her lips and started complaining.
Zhu Shasha's face changed when she heard his words, and she had to scold her with a stern face: "Qingqing, have you forgotten the principles I usually teach you? Grandma has worked so hard to take care of you and even made you egg custard. Why are you not grateful at all?
Woolen cloth?"
At Qingqing's age, she still didn't understand why Zhu Shasha suddenly changed her face and burst into tears holding her mouth shut.
"Forget it if the child doesn't like it. I think too much salt is not good for the child's health. Maybe it's a little bland." He's mother said calmly.
Mr. He looked away from the newspaper in his hand: "Did the boss and his wife say when they will be back?"
Mother He stood up: "I said I would bring Qiqi here early in the morning. It's not here yet, so I'll call and ask."
Zhu Shasha was left on the spot, her pupils shrank, but there was a faint smile on her lips.
In a military compound in Kyoto, a burly man in his forties wearing a military uniform hung up the phone, turned to look at the two people sitting on the sofa, and frowned unconsciously.
"Mom just called again and asked when we will go back."
The girl on the right is about seventeen or eighteen years old. She wears a turtleneck sweater and a pair of slim-fitting gray pants. Her face is somewhat similar to that of a man. She is neither good-looking nor ugly.
"Dad, is that woman also gone? My second uncle doesn't know what he thinks. He didn't want the original second aunt, but he insists on that shameless one."
"Kiki!"
He Mingqi was stopped by the woman next to him and said unwillingly: "Anyway, I have made an appointment with my brother-in-law. As long as that woman is around, neither of us will go back."
He Zifeng frowned: "Why are Ziyu also making noise? Where can he go if he doesn't go home during the Chinese New Year? Qiqi, be obedient. Your grandparents miss you."
He Mingqi insisted: "My brother-in-law and I have formed an alliance, and I cannot betray my alliance."
He Zifeng's patience ran out and he started to glare: "If he doesn't dare to go back, let's see how your father handles him. I'll go with your mother when the time comes. Just don't be afraid at home."
On the other end, He Ziyu had just undergone an operation. His eyes were slightly red due to his high concentration for a long time.
When the nurse who stayed in the department saw him coming in, she hurriedly said, "Dr. He, your home phone number has been called no less than four or five times. I told you that you were undergoing surgery, and your mother said she would call again in half an hour."
During the Chinese New Year, he still stayed at work and even performed an operation on an emergency patient. The young nurse was full of admiration for He Ziyu.
He Ziyu nodded: "I understand, thank you."
Within half an hour, He's mother called again. He Ziyu picked up the phone and said directly: "I'm on duty today and won't be back until midnight. You don't have to wait for me at home."
"It's Chinese New Year today, are you deliberately trying to make me and your dad unhappy?" Mother He's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger.
"It was you and my father who forced me. I will go back as soon as the woman leaves, otherwise I won't go back."
He bullied his second sister-in-law away, and even wanted to occupy the magpie's nest. His second brother was so confused that he couldn't swallow it.
Mother He knew very well what kind of temper her younger son had, and said helplessly: "Anyway, she gave birth to Qingqing, so she shouldn't look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face."
He Ziyu didn't take it seriously: "My second sister-in-law also gave birth to Ruirui."
Mother He's hand holding the phone shook suddenly.
He Ziyu also realized that he had said the wrong thing. As the saying goes, an old son is a grandson. He knew very well how much his parents loved Ruirui, but he was unwilling to admit his mistake.
"Tell that unfilial son that if he doesn't come back today, he will never come back again!" Mr. He's roaring voice came from the phone.
"If you don't go back, you won't go back. Mom, tell him not to regret it!" He Ziyu's stubborn temper also rose, and he hung up the phone without saying anything.
If his father hadn't nodded, his second brother wouldn't have taken the person back.
Mother He listened to the busy tone on the receiver and shook her head helplessly at Mr. He, whose brows were almost knotted.
"Uncle and aunt, this is a little bit of my thoughts." Seeing the two people coming out, Zhu Shasha hurriedly handed over the gift in her hand.
He's mother didn't answer: "Just put it on the coffee table. Xiao Zhou and I will go cook."
The smile on Zhu Shasha's face faltered for a moment, and then she stepped forward: "Auntie, let me help you."
He's mother: "No, you are a guest, just sit with Zi Nian."
guest?
The smile on Zhu Shasha's face was actually a bit forced, and the fingers hanging by her side were clenched subconsciously.
Both of them looked down on her. The only grandson in the He family now was born to her. Just wait and see, the entire He family will belong to her son in the future.
The New Year celebrations in rural areas are always very lively. Unlike later generations who were very environmentally friendly and did not advocate the setting off of fireworks, now there is no such emphasis. You can hear the crackling of firecrackers outside through the windows early in the morning.
Fortunately, the two children were not very sensitive to sounds when they were asleep. When Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong got up, they were sleeping soundly.
After washing up, the four Gu Xingdong brothers went to the river to fish together and prepare lunch.
Chen Lishu first took out the new clothes for Ruirui, and then put them under the mattress so that when the child wakes up, he will be warm and will not get cold.
After finishing everything, she started to help Li Xiulan make breakfast.
It didn't take long for the children to get up one after another. Only on this day will everyone put on new clothes from the inside out.
Li Xiulan had already boiled a pot of hot water, and everyone was washing up one after another. The boys wanted to go out and set off firecrackers. The girls were timid and cherished their beautiful new clothes more, so they stayed in the house.
"Stay away when you see people shooting cannons. They are dangerous. If you really want to play, go buy some cannons."
As Chen Lishu spoke, she took out a dollar and handed it to Ruirui. The children immediately cheered and ran away.
Liu Yuemin on the side saw this and laughed and said: "The third brother and sister are really generous. They only give one dollar each. Unlike the two of us, we have to spend every penny carefully."
Chen Lishu was lighting the fire and said without raising her head: "If you make money, you will spend it. If you don't make money, you will spend it."
Liu Yuemin pouted, intending to say something, but what came to her mind was that she turned to look at Zhang Xiaoju: "Fourth brother and sister, when are you going to go to the city? The fourth brother will go to work then, and you have to look after Panpan alone to look after the shop. Can you?
