Su Mianmian glanced at the time and asked Su Qingqing to start cooking dumplings.
Shen Yuandao, Qin Huaichuan and little Ayan all surrounded Jiubao, and the three of them took turns to tease Jiubao.
The fat girl was amused by the three people and giggled, and almost choked on her milk. After Su Mianmian cooked the dumplings, she invited them to eat, and went to make complementary food for the fat girl.
Jiubao started eating complementary food when he was a little over one year old. It was usually prepared by Aunt Yang. Now that Aunt Yang is back home, Su Mianmian makes it herself.
After preparing the complementary food, Su Mianmian went to feed Jiubao. Shen Yuandao held Jiubao while Su Mianmian fed Jiubao rice porridge.
After taking two bites, the little fat girl started shaking her head and patted Su Mianmian's hand, "Not bad."
Remembering that she had just drunk a small bottle of milk, she couldn't eat normally now, so she stopped paying attention to her and said, "If you don't want to eat, then mom will start eating."
It was inconvenient for Shen Yuandao to eat while holding Jiubao, so Su Mianmian fed him a dumpling from time to time. Qin Huaichuan and Su Qingqing, who were sitting opposite, felt their teeth ache when they saw this.
Qin Huaichuan chuckled and looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Old Shen, if it really doesn't work, I can help you hold our daughter?"
Su Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement with what Qin Huaichuan said, "Yes, Huaichuan and I will hold it. You two are tired after a day of work, so eat more."
"I want to give birth to myself."
"Hey! Old Shen, you are being too formal! First of all, we grew up together; secondly, Qingqing and Mianmian are cousins. Just based on these two points, doesn't it prove that your daughter is my daughter?" Qin Huaichuan said shamelessly.
Shen Yuandao glared at him unhappily, "The same thing, if you want a daughter, go give birth yourself."
Qin Huaichuan and Su Qingqing looked at each other, then they walked over together. Just when Shen Yuandao and Su Mianmian were confused, Qin Huaichuan hugged Jiubao.
Su Qingqing showed a triumphant smile, "You two should eat quickly. The two of us will help take care of the little girl."
The fat girl was not angry at all, but she said happily, "Auntie, Auntie Tiger."
Su Qingqing and Qin Huaichuan couldn't stop laughing.
Su Mianmian and Shen Yuandao both shook their heads and concentrated on eating.
After dinner, the four of them took A Yan to play poker to win money.
The more they played, the more addicted they became. Time passed quickly and soon it was twelve o'clock.
Su Qingqing and Qin Huaichuan stayed for a while and then went back to their home.
…
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as the sun rose, little Ayan put on his new clothes and went to play with Tiezhu and the other kids in the team.
Jiubao was very anxious when she saw A Yan leaving. She kept pointing outside, indicating that she wanted to go too.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing wrapped Jiubao warmly, then took her to chat with Aunt Li and Aunt Cai.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing met Aunt Li on the way, and Jiubao stared at Aunt Li without blinking.
Aunt Li was so fascinated by Jiubao's fair, tender and round appearance.
She bent down with a smile and said to Jiubao, "Hey, Jiubao, do you still remember me?"
Jiubao nodded his little head vigorously and answered seriously, "Yeah." He looked so adorable.
The smile on Aunt Li's face became more and more obvious. "Oh, I can tell at first glance that Jiubao is a smart guy."
After being praised, Jiubao shyly put his little head on Su Mianmian's shoulder, which made Aunt Li and the others laugh.
A few of them went to the captain's house, talking and laughing. Aunt Cai, the eldest daughter-in-law Xuanyicai, and Duan Miao were chatting around the stove.
Duan Miao saw several people coming and patted his son who was sleeping in his arms. "Xiao Yuan, look who's here?"
Xiao Yuan was feeling sleepy. After hearing Duan Miao's words, he rubbed his eyes and looked at Su Qingqing and the others. When he moved his gaze to Su Mianmian's arms, his eyes lit up instantly.
"younger sister!"
After shouting, he patted Duan Miao's arm to signal that he wanted to go down. Duan Miao put him on the ground and held him with one hand worriedly.
He leaned on Duan Miao's hand and slowly walked to Su Mianmian, and he hugged Su Mianmian's thigh.
"Sister! Siwo, Xiaoyuan."
"Dede." Jiubao recognized the person.
Xiao Yuan was so happy that he lost his mind and jumped around randomly, pulling Su Mianmian's trouser legs.
Su Mianmian was afraid that she would fall, so she quickly handed him to Duan Miao.
Duan Miao picked up Xiao Yuan and put him on the kang. "Stay here obediently."
He nodded, then waved towards Jiubao, "Sister, stay with me."
Su Mianmian thought about it and nodded, then put her little one on the kang as well. "Be good, play with your brother."
"Okay."
After saying that, Jiubao found that her hand had been held by Xiao Yuan, and she smiled sweetly at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan held Jiubao's hand tightly, "Sister, you are so cute."
Su Mianmian and the others were chatting while also caring about the two little guys on the kang. Seeing that the two kids didn't cry or make a fuss, everyone nodded in satisfaction.
…
"Speaking of which, it's New Year's Day now. Have the people who were sent down from other brigades been rehabilitated?" Aunt Li looked at Aunt Cai.
Aunt Cai: "My boss said that most of them have been rehabilitated, and the small number will be rehabilitated soon. Yesterday, the Luwanwan Brigade drove up and said that they have all been rehabilitated."
"But fortunately, everyone in our brigade has been rehabilitated and returned to the city."
"Yes, yes, this way they can have a good New Year." Aunt Cai agreed.
When the topic came to this, Aunt Cai couldn't help but think of Su Mianmian's parents.
She couldn't help but poke Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing on the head. "You two little girls are really good at hiding things. If your parents hadn't been rehabilitated, we wouldn't have known about it."
Aunt Li also nodded, but she was more happy for them.
Su Mianmian smiled shyly, "There was nothing we could do at the time. If it had been exposed, Ah Yan and I would have been in trouble too."
Aunt Cai and Aunt Li nodded, it was indeed true.
"Mianmian, will you still be a teacher next semester?" Duan Miao suddenly asked.
Su Mianmian shook her head. "It's not clear yet."
Duan Miao nodded.
At this time, Su Qingqing held out her wrist to Su Mianmian and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock. We should go back."
Su Mianmian took a look and found that it was indeed the case. She and Su Qingqing stood up, said something to Aunt Cai, and then carried Jiubao to go out.
Aunt Cai grabbed their arms and said, "Don't go back, just eat here!"
Su Mianmian shook her head. "Aunt, Ayuan and Huaichuan have probably already prepared the meal."
Su Qingqing followed up and agreed, "Yes, auntie, we won't disturb you during the New Year."
When Aunt Cai saw that she couldn't keep the visitors, she ordered others not to bully them.
When Aunt Li saw Su Mianmian and the others leave, she followed her back home.
…
"Wow! You two made such a feast."
