Chapter 140

Time always flies when you have kids.

Spring passed and autumn came, and time flew by and it was 1974.

After get off work in the afternoon, Bi Chunliu and Wang Xiaojun separated at the intersection. Wang Xiaojun went to her mother's house to pick up her fat son, and Bi Chunliu also went to Han's house to pick up Nian Nian and Sui Sui.

Bi Chunliu walked hurriedly, feeling a little worried, wondering how the two children were doing.

The child was such a contradictory little creature. When she softly called out to her mother and clung to her, Bi Chunliu wanted to give her heart to them. But when she got mad, Bi Chunliu wanted to kneel down and sing a girl's prayer, asking God to be a good person for ten minutes and let them be quiet for a while...

This time the two children were making a fuss because Aunt Fang was leaving.

Aunt Fang's daughter-in-law gave birth the day before yesterday, so she has to go home to take care of her daughter-in-law. She won't be able to take care of Nian Nian and Sui Sui anymore. When the two children learned yesterday that Grandma Fang was leaving, they cried even harder than Liu Bei. They clung to Aunt Fang's thighs and wouldn't let go, asking pitifully if Grandma Fang didn't like Nian Nian and Sui Sui anymore. This made Aunt Fang cry too, and she quickly promised them that she would bring her younger sister to play with them when she was older.

Han Zhong came home early this morning because he heard Xiaomei say that the two children were crying last night and that they were in a bad mood, so he said he wanted to take the two children out to play.

Bi Chunliu looked back at the two children who were sleeping in a state of confusion: ...

Huh? Are you feeling down? Are you talking about them?

"Mother!!"

"Grandpa, my mother is here!"

Bi Chunliu knocked on the door, but unexpectedly it was Nian Nian and Sui Sui who opened the door. Sui Sui held her mother's hand and acted coquettishly, while Niannian hugged her mother's thigh, then jumped happily and shouted to her grandfather who was standing at the door.

Bi Chunliu patted the children's heads and backs. They weren't sweating much. They should go home and have dinner before taking a shower. Suisui danced happily around her mother, while Niannian kept talking about what she and her sister had done that day.

Raising a child is really a magical thing. The two children are the same age, but Nian Nian grows a little faster than Sui Sui. Sui Sui speaks at the level of people his age and has no problem speaking short sentences, but Niannian can actually speak relatively long sentences as fluently as an adult.

"Wow, you two are so amazing, you can actually help grandpa! Nian Nian, please speak softly, mom can hear what Nian Nian says. If you keep shouting, your throat will feel uncomfortable and you will need to take medicine. Let's talk about it later when we get home. Come, say goodbye to grandpa, we are going home."

"Okay!" Niannian covered her mouth with her hands and called grandpa softly, "Grandpa, my sister and I are going home. Come play with us tomorrow. Dad said he would buy us popsicles."

Sui Sui was so happy that he was laughing, "Yes! Daddy bought me popsicles!"

Han Zhong smiled and waved to his two granddaughters, "I know, Grandpa won't forget." Then he picked up the fish in the big basin and said, "Chunliu, I exchanged this for Lao Hua. Take it home and eat it."

"Okay, Dad, we'll leave first. Xia He said she wants to go home today."

Han Zhong: "Okay, go back now."

Bi Chunliu hung the fish on the handlebars and asked, "Which of you two will sit in the front this time?"

"Mom, let my sister sit in the front, I want to sit in the back." Niannian stretched out her hands to let her mother carry her to the back seat. Suisui had no objection and stretched out her hands to let her mother hold her on the horizontal bar with a cushion, her two little fleshy hands tightly grasping the handlebars.

Sui Sui sat down and Bi Chunliu got in the car first. She had to be careful at all times since she had a child. She didn't want to kick the child away with a sweeping kick!

After Han Zhong carried Nian Nian onto the back seat, he stepped back two steps and stood by the wall. Bi Chunliu said, "Niannian, hold on to your mother's clothes and don't stretch your legs. Suisui, hold on to the handlebars too."

Bi Chunliu put one foot on the ground and pushed hard with the other foot, and the bicycle started moving. "Dad, let's go."

Nian Nian and Sui Sui also stretched their little heads back and shouted, "Grandpa, we're leaving. We'll come back tomorrow."

"Okay, tell your mother to ride slower." Han Zhong shouted from behind.

"I know~ Grandpa, come home soon~" Niannian responded to grandpa.

Walking through the alley, Bi Chunliu and her two daughters ran into Aunt Li. Before they even got close, Sui Sui started calling out, "Grandma Li, we're going home. Goodbye~"

Both children had been taught many times that no matter who sat in the back, they were not allowed to move around. Niannian anxiously asked her sister in the back, "Sister, is Grandma Li in the front?"

"Yeah~"

"Goodbye, Grandma Li. My sister and I will come again tomorrow~" Niannian waved her little hands and shouted as she passed by Grandma Li.

Aunt Li smiled happily, "Okay! See you every year, hold on to your mother's clothes!"

An older woman nearby teased her, "Don't you dislike the Han family's daughter-in-law? Why do you seem so enthusiastic towards those two little girls?"

Aunt Li was stunned, rolled her eyes quietly, and said seriously: "Who said I don't like her? Don't I treat my daughter-in-law the same way? I have a serious face. Don't say anything nonsense. If others know about it, it will cause conflicts between Old Han and my old Li."

Then she thought to herself: Besides, those two little girls always call her grandma when they see her. They are so sweet and fair-skinned. What if I ignore them and they start crying?!

"Grandma!! I'm hungry. What are we having for dinner? I want chicken!" Aunt Li's little grandson, who had disappeared for an afternoon, came back covered in mud. When he saw his grandmother, he started shouting that he was hungry. Then he grabbed his grandmother's clothes with his two muddy hands and pulled her towards home.

Aunt Li closed her eyes to calm herself. This is her biological grandson! What kind of chicken do you want to eat? Do I look like a chicken?

The aunt next to him called out to him, "Second boy, where is my little tree?"

"Grandma Wang, Xiaoshu is back home!"

"Oh, then I have to go home and cook."

"Little Swallow~ wearing flowery clothes~"

On the way, Nian Nian and Sui Sui showed their mother the song they had just learned. In the middle of singing, they stopped and asked, "Mom, why is there no little swallow living in our house?"

Sui Sui followed up and said, "I want Xiaoyanzi to live here too."

Bi Chunliu: "Maybe they like their previous home. Have you seen the swallow's nest at Maomao's house? That's the nest the swallows built before, and then in the spring they returned to their previous home."

Maomao is the son of Wang Xiaojun and Dai Yan, half a year younger than Nianniansuisui.

"Oh~" Niannian understood, and Suisui nodded repeatedly after hearing it. Xiaoyanzi is just like them, and loves her home the most.

"Mom, can we let the swallows from my brother Maomao's family move to our house as well? In addition to the big swallows, they also have several little swallows." Niannian was very distressed because she really liked the little swallows.

Bi Chunliu: "Mom has no choice. Maybe next spring, when little swallows like you grow up and want to live on their own, some little swallows will move into our house."

Niannian sighed softly, "Well, if they come to our house, I can share my leftover cookies with them."

"Dad——" Suisui's eyes were very sharp and he saw his father from a distance, whom neither his mother nor his sister noticed.

"Sister, where is Dad?" Niannian no longer worried about Yan Zi.

Bi Chunliu parked the car in front of Xing Fei. Two years had passed, and neither of them had changed much, their relationship was still very good. Upon seeing the three children, Xing Fei squeezed his wife's hand first, then held each of the two children in his arms.

"What did you play with grandpa today?"

Xing Fei held the child in his arms and walked beside Bi Chunliu who was pushing the stroller. With their parents by their side, the two sisters were like two little swallows waiting for their parents to come home, chattering and sharing what their grandfather had taken them to play today.

It was just a few steps to the home. Bi Xiahe came out of the room, greeted her elder sister and brother-in-law, and then looked at the two children with a smile.

"Third Aunt~"

Nian Nian and Sui Sui got down from their father's arms and ran towards their third aunt.

Bi Xiahe couldn't carry the two children, so she found a stool, sat down on it, and held the two children on her lap.

Niannian pouted, "Auntie San, you haven't been home for so long! My sister and I miss you so much~"

"Really? You miss Third Aunt every year?"

Suisui nodded seriously, leaned forward, and held Bi Xiahe's hands tightly with her two little hands, with her forehead pressed against Bi Xiahe, "I miss Third Aunt~"

Bi Xiahe's eyes curved with joy. "Third Auntie misses you guys too. In another month, Third Auntie will graduate, and then she can come home every day!"

"Xia He, have you finished assigning the school?" Bi Chunliu came out from the kitchen. Xing Fei had gotten off work early in the afternoon and had almost finished cooking. They could start eating as soon as Wei Guo and Qiu Guo came back.

Bi Xiahe: "Yes, they were assigned to Shixiao. Ten people in our grade were assigned to Shixiao."

Bi Chunliu nodded. Shixiao Primary School was a very good school in Nanshan City, built in the 1960s by merging two schools. It was also close to their home. More importantly, Xia He finally had a stable job. She had visited Xia He several times in the past two years, but she hadn't seen that bastard Wang Yuezhi, nor had she heard Xia He mention finding a partner. It seemed she hadn't been fooled by that bastard. Bi Chunliu looked at her young and beautiful sister, and felt a wave of emotion.

"Big sister? Is there something on my face?" Bi Xiahe saw her big sister staring at her blankly. Nian Nian and Sui Sui also looked up at their third aunt's face.

Bi Chunliu shook his head, "No, I just feel that time flies. I didn't expect my sister is already 18 years old." Xia He has also reached the age of hardship in her previous life. This time she must live differently from her previous life!

Niannian puffed out her little chest and said, "Mom, my sister and I are both two years old!" Suisui stretched out two short fingers to support her sister.

"Hahaha, yes, time flies so fast. Our Nian Nian and Sui Sui are two years old now! Mom and Dad will send you to school by this time next year, okay?" Bi Chunliu hugged Sui Sui in his arms.

Wang Xiaojun mentioned that Dai Yan's unit had a "Yuhong" class, and she'd visited it. The teachers were all family members of city government officials, all educated, so they could start by teaching simple numbers and words. Plus, there weren't too many children to overwhelm the teachers, so she planned to send Maomao there next year. After hearing what she said, Bi Chunliu was quite tempted.

Niannian frowned and said, "Are you not going home like your third aunt and your youngest aunt? I want to be with my mom and dad." Then she burst into tears.

When Sui Sui heard that she was not going home, tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing her sister crying, she also sobbed and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Bi Chunliu: “…”

Hearing the child crying, Xing Fei quickly took Nian Nian who was crying in Bi Xiahe's arms and comforted her. Nian Nian cried and sobbed, "Dad, my sister and I don't want to go to school~ We won't leave~~"

Xing Fei looked at Bi Chunliu with accusatory eyes, and slowly talked about the benefits of the Yuhong class, asking them to go a few times and then take the initiative to go. Now, suddenly mentioning it, the two children would definitely not be happy. He sighed, "That's not what Mom meant. You have to listen to me. I'm talking about you and your sister when you grow up, not now."

"Really?"

Xing Fei couldn't be more serious and said, "Of course."

Of course, you who are three years old are older than you who are two years old!
