Chapter 939 Return to the compound to celebrate the New Year together
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Xiao's father came back from work and shouted as he entered the yard: "Lamei, are you done?"
Mother Xiao came out of the kitchen: "Okay, okay, I'll be waiting for you to come back."
After saying that, he turned around and instructed the two girls who were helping in the kitchen, "Chuxue, pack some of the two kinds of meatballs and let's take them over.
Chunxiao, put the stewed ribs into the casserole and heat it up."
Chunxiao took the casserole and said, "Mom, should we serve it all? Is there any left?"
After a brief thought, Xiao's mother said, "Let's put them all on. There are a lot of people here today, and besides, this is our first year celebrating the New Year with your grandfather and uncle, so we can't be too stingy."
Father Xiao took the things off the handlebars and said, "This is the New Year's benefits from the company. Do you want to take some with you?"
Xiao's mother took them and looked at them one by one. "Keep these. Chuxue's unit gave out apples and oranges in addition to beef and mutton. The apples are big and juicy, and the oranges are hard to come by. Bringing these will make you look good."
Father Xiao looked at the item in his hand and joked, "How could such a good thing be rejected?"
Mother Xiao slapped him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I dislike it? I just thought Chuxue's things were more presentable. Besides, I'll need these red dates for my confinement in the future. After all, they look good, so I don't have to buy them later. As for the white flour, Dad doesn't need it either, so forget it."
Their house is not too far from the compound, but because of the snow yesterday, Xiao's father would never dare to take his wife on a bike. If she slipped and fell, it would be more than just a fall.
So he went out and borrowed a cart from the Cheng family next door: "Chunxiao, go inside and spread the mattress we brought here on the cart so your mother won't be too bumpy or cold when she sits on it."
Chunxiao is very diligent today and hits wherever he is told.
He quickly carried the baby out and neatly laid it on the cart at the gate: "Dad, I've laid it out."
When Xiao's mother came out and saw the cart, she felt a little embarrassed: "Why don't I just walk? It would be a joke if I go there like this."
Father Xiao disagreed: "If it hadn't snowed, you would have left. Your situation is special now, so safety is paramount."
Chu Xue felt that what Xiao's father said was right: "Mom, listen to my dad."
Then she called Chunxiao, "Help me put all the things I brought into the car."
Seeing that they all said so, Xiao's mother touched her pregnant belly and agreed.
Chuxue and Chunxiao arranged everything else and helped the person onto the cart: "Mom, hold on tight, I'll lock the door, and we'll go."
The sister-in-law of the Cheng family next door came out to pour out the slop: "Oh, are you leaving?"
Mother Xiao said hello with a smile: "Yes, at least we have to arrive a little early. It's not good to just sit there and wait for food. Let's see if we can help out. Besides, my family hasn't had a day off recently, and I haven't been to see my father-in-law and his family. So I thought I'd go over early and chat with them."
Cheng's sister-in-law smiled and waved at them: "That's right, go quickly, and be careful on the road. Your man is thoughtful and even let you ride in a cart. He is a caring person."
When the family arrived at the compound, they saw Mr. Xiao standing not far away talking to someone.
Chunxiao spoke first: "Grandpa."
When Old Man Xiao saw that it was their family, his face was full of smiles: "Well, I thought you would be arriving soon, so I thought of going to the gate to greet you. I just happened to run into your Grandpa Guo, so I'll say a few words here."
When Chuxue approached, Mr. Guo saw who she was and said, "Hey, girl, it's you."
