It made him, a spoiled little son, take the initiative to kneel down and apologize. He was suddenly interested in what Li Chu had just said in the room.
After Li Chu and his sister and husband pushed the car out, they asked: "Sister, where are Jiadong and Jiayuan?"
"They didn't come. They were playing in our compound. Fortunately, we didn't bring them with us." Li Qin curled her lips and said.
"You guys should go back quickly, they must be hungry too." It's already past three o'clock in the afternoon. They all had the dumplings they had eaten in the morning. The adults are a little hungry, let alone the two children.
"We will go back now. When you go out tomorrow, dress Qiunan warmly. Don't ride too fast. You must be careful on the road." Li Chu and the others will return to Ding Qiunan's parents' home tomorrow, Li Qin warned uneasily.
"I understand, sister, brother-in-law, please go back quickly, I'm leaving too."
After being separated from them, Li Chu rode the 28th pole like a road race and hurried home as fast as he could.
Back home, when Li Chu opened the courtyard door, Xiao Hei stood outside the living room door warily and looked over. When he saw it was Li Chu, he wagged his tail and lay down again.
There is a plate and a small plate with dipping sauce on the table in the living room, and there are a few dumplings left on the plate.
The room was quiet. Li Chu walked quietly to the bedroom door and lifted the curtain, and saw Ding Qiunan lying on the bed sleeping.
Li Chu did not disturb her. He gently lowered the curtain and returned to the living room. He finished the remaining dumplings on the table and made nothing else. He planned to wait for his wife to get up to see what else she wanted to eat.
On the morning of the second day of the lunar new year, when the sky was completely bright, Li Chu took Ding Qiunan and set off.
Because they had delivered New Year's goods in advance, they only brought a box of snacks and a piece of bacon they had cured themselves.
Li Chuqi was very careful along the way. It was supposed to take him an hour, but today it took more than two hours to get there.
Ding's mother was a little anxious and was waiting at the entrance of the alley when they arrived.
"Why did you come back so late today?" Ding Ma asked when she met her. They usually come back early.
"Mom, Happy New Year! Today we set off a little later than usual, and I rode slowly on the road." Li Chu stopped as he said it. After stopping, he turned around and grabbed the girl's arm with one hand, and asked her to ride slowly.
Get off the car.
This action made Ding Ma next to her look stunned for a moment. Oh, she is serving her ancestors. When did her daughter become like this?
After Ding Qiunan stood firm, Li Chu let go of his hand and got out of the car.
The girl walked up to Ding's mother, held her hand, and said softly: "Mom, I miss you so much."
Mother Ding glanced at the girl with deep meaning, stretched out her hand and nodded her head: "Come on, little Chuduo has not come back yet, so who are you trying to fool me if you still miss me?"
Then he said to Li Chu: "Xiao Chu, go home quickly. Your dad is also worried in the house."
Seeing Li Chu walking in front, Ding's mother whispered in the girl's ear: "Why is it that Xiao Chu can't handle you anymore, and you still have to be supported when getting out of the car?"
"No way, Mom, he's all making a fuss out of a molehill." Ding Qiunan said, stamping her feet.
"What do you mean?" Ding Ma heard something different.
Even facing her mother, the girl was still a little embarrassed, her face turned slightly red, and she said coyly: "Mom, I...I'm pregnant."
"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Ding's mother looked at her daughter in surprise, her voice was much louder. After more than a year of marriage, her daughter has not been pregnant, and Ding's mother was also worried.
Hearing Ma Ding's sudden loud voice, Li Chu, who was walking in front, turned around. When he saw his wife's appearance, he knew that she must be telling her mother-in-law about the pregnancy, so he turned around again.
"Oh mom, can I joke about this kind of thing?" the girl said reluctantly.
After receiving her daughter's affirmative reply, Ding's mother said cheerfully: "It's a good thing. This is a good thing. Your dad will definitely be happy when he goes back. Now I am finally relieved."
"Mom, there's nothing to worry about."
"Silly girl, there is already gossip outside." Ma Ding became angry when she mentioned this.
Ever since Ding Qiunan married Li Chu, all the aunts and wives in the alley were very upset when they found out about Ding's uncle.
In addition, after getting married, Li Chu would come back to give him something whenever he had nothing to do. He was more filial than his own son, which made the people in the alley jealous.
Fortunately, Ding's father and Ding's mother are good people and take good care of the neighbors in the courtyard. Usually no one talks nonsense in the compound.
Since my daughter has not been pregnant for such a long time, gossip has spread even more, and even people in the compound are talking behind her back.
Ding's mother was so angry, but there was nothing she could do about it. Now when she heard her daughter said she was pregnant, Ding's mother couldn't wait to go door to door to inform her.
Li Chu walked quickly in front, and when mother and daughter entered the yard, he had already entered the house.
After Ding's mother entered the yard, she shouted loudly as she walked home: "Old Ding, Old Ding, I'm telling you, our daughter is pregnant." Good guy, that voice was so loud that I wished the whole alley could hear it.
Ding Qiunan, who was holding Ding's mother's arm, turned red at her mother's loud voice.
Neighbors who heard the noise in the yard, whether sincerely or not, came out to say congratulations to Ding's mother.
Ding's mother accepted all the neighbor's congratulations and was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
Ding's father also heard Ding's mother's voice in the house, and looked at Li Chu who had just entered the house in surprise.
Li Chu nodded to Dad Ding: "Dad, happy New Year! Qiunan is indeed pregnant. It was just confirmed two days ago."
After listening to Li Chu's words, Ding's father happily slapped his thigh and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, good news, this is a good sign for the Chinese New Year!"
Ding Jianguo also came over and asked, "Brother-in-law, am I going to be an uncle?"
"Yes, it will be your turn to give lucky money to your nephew or niece during the Chinese New Year next year."
"Ah? I still want to give out lucky money?" Ding Jianguo was a little surprised, where did he get the money?
"Yes, you will be the elder then, and you will definitely give the younger generation lucky money." Li Chu said seriously.
Ding Jianguo turned his head and looked at his father in disbelief. Dad Ding nodded cooperatively.
Seeing Ding's father nodding, Ding Jianguo's face quickly turned pale.
Ding's mother and Ding Qiunan just entered the house. When the girl saw her brother standing there listlessly, she asked, "What's wrong with Jianguo? Are you being scolded for being naughty again?"
Ding's mother also looked at her son. She felt something was wrong. She didn't deal with him today.
Li Chu suppressed a smile and said, "I told him that I have to pay for the New Year's money next year, and I'm worried about it."
After saying this, Ding's mother and the girl both laughed, and Ding's father also sat there happily.
Ding's mother smiled and said: "That's right, son, you have to save money from now on, otherwise you won't be able to pay for the new year's money, and you will be embarrassed."
Ding Jianguo glanced at his mother with resentment. She only gave her ten cents a month. How could I save money?
Seeing Ding Jianguo's expression, the people in the room laughed even more heartily, and Li Chu couldn't help but laugh too.
