"Godmother, stop working, you'll ruin your eyes," said Xiaoshanzhu, who was lying on the other side of the table.
Cheng Zhi stopped typing and took a small tangerine from the side and gave it to him. "I'm sorry, Xiao Shanzhu, I've been too busy and haven't had time to play with you. If you're bored, go find Yiyi's godmother. She recently bought a new game."
Xiao Shanzhu perked up immediately upon hearing about the new game, and tried to leave but then lay down again, saying, "I'll go tomorrow."
Cheng Zhi patted the child's head and said, "Go if you want to."
The child shook his head. "Godmother Yiyi has someone to keep her company. I'll stay here and keep you company."
Hearing this reason, Cheng Zhi felt both amused and touched. She pulled Xiao Shanzhu into her arms, hugged him, and kissed him twice. "Xiao Shanzhu is such a sweetheart. When your godfather gets off work, I'll have him treat you to a cake!"
After resting for a while, Cheng Zhi prepared to continue working.
Xiao Shanzhu looked at Cheng Zhi expectantly and asked, "Godmother, can you call Xiao Zhi out? I want to play with him."
Cheng Zhi was initially reluctant to agree, because the group had agreed to gradually return to a normal life and stop relying on the space and Xiao Zhi for survival.
But considering that she hadn't seen Xiaozhi for two or three months and that this was just to play with the child, she finally agreed.
Cheng Zhi pretended to take Xiao Zhi out of the cabinet and placed it in front of Xiao Shanzhu. After giving her a few instructions, she went back to work.
Although they were all in the same room, Xiaoshanzhu played very quietly and hardly made any noise.
Cheng Zhi became so engrossed in her work that two hours passed without her realizing it.
When she came to her senses, she found the room was very quiet, without any sound.
Cheng Zhi stood up and saw Xiao Shanzhu and Xiao Zhi at the table in the outer room. She discovered that the two of them were looking at old photos.
Xiao Zhi would also occasionally tell Xiao Shan Zhu about the stories behind the photos.
"This is the first group photo they took when they first entered university."
Cheng Zhi, who was standing at the back, moved forward a little. They all looked very young and innocent in the photos.
"This photo was taken at Cheng Zhi's godmother's first birthday celebration. The one next to her with the red face is your mother. She drank too much and vomited a lot afterwards. From then on, she never drank excessively again and became an 80s..."
Cheng Zhi: "..." Why do you tell everything to the child!
At this point, Cheng Zhi immediately interrupted Xiao Zhi, "Alright, alright, I'm done with my work. I can handle the rest."
Of course, it's better to have her godmother with her, so Xiao Shanzhu immediately moved closer to Cheng Zhi.
He touched the thick photo album and exclaimed, "Godmother, you really have so many photos! Even Xiaoshanzhu didn't take as many photos with you."
Cheng Zhi looked at those young faces and flipped to the last few pages with all her might. There were photos of Chen Siyu when she was pregnant, and photos of Xiao Shanzhu when she was just born.
"Because you're still little. As you grow up, you'll have more and more photos. By then, this book won't be big enough for your godmother, and we'll have to buy an even bigger one just to hold your photos."
The two looked at the photos for a while longer, and then Qi Yanche returned. Just then, the photos came up with a group photo taken in the snow during the disaster.
Qi Yanche also sighed, "So many years have passed, time really flies."
After saying that, he patted Xiaoshanzhu's head and said, "In a few years, Xiaoshanzhu will go to junior high school, then high school, and then she will grow up."
Cheng Zhi leaned against Qi Yanche's shoulder. "Is Lu Yuan back too?"
Qi Yanche nodded, "I came back with Lu Yuancheng and Ye, and Yi Yi and the others have arrived as well."
Now that everyone's back, we can tidy up and prepare for dinner.
The courtyard had already been decorated with couplets, paper-cut window decorations, lanterns, and a bright red tablecloth that Cheng Zhi had just bought, making the courtyard incredibly festive.
As they came down, they ran into Chen Siyu, who was carrying candied persimmons. Cheng Zhi leaned in and said cheekily, "Did you see the couplets and the double happiness symbol in your room? I prepared them especially for you. You're welcome!"
Chen Siyu laughed and gave her a kick, "Thank you so much, you really know how to stir things up."
Standing at the table, Xiao Feiran got angry seeing the two of them bickering while holding plates. "How old are you two? Haven't you had enough fighting yet? Xiao Shanzhu, come quick, don't hurt yourself."
Several tables were set up in the courtyard, and everyone gradually took their seats.
Huang Yiyi gave Chen Yiyi, who was outside the courtyard, instructions, and Chen Yiyi prepared to start the fire.
After the fuse burned out, firecrackers went off, and in the distance, someone was setting off fireworks, with dazzling bursts of light exploding in the sky.
This is how they have spent every year in the past, and it will continue to be so in the future.
Year after year, the people I love most will always be by my side.
