Chapter 16 Damn Adult Humans!
That afternoon, Zhou Xiangyang did not go to the street to sell vegetables.
In the evening he went out to buy some meat and vegetables, as well as milk and beer.
After coming back, I have been busy by the windowsill. The aroma of food quickly drifted through the window to the entire building, and the house was full of the smell of fireworks.
Xingxing sat on the clean ground playing with a toy car that only human babies would play with. From time to time, she would look up at her father who was busy working in an apron.
"Baby, it smells so good. You must eat my share tonight!" Qiuqiu excitedly circled around Zhou Xiangyang and Xingxing, running to look at them once, then running again to look at them twice.
If the light ball could drool, Xingxing's shoulders would probably be wet with the saliva of the ball.
Reach out and grab the ball, then put it on top of the toy car, press and hold and pull to store power——
"Swoosh~" the ball and the car jumped out together.
The ball hit the wall with a thud, slid down from the roof of the car, and then rolled back to the front of Xingxing along the same path.
"Dizzy~~" The small ball of light was spinning around dizzily.
Star's eyes curved into beautiful crescents and it stretched out its little hands to pick up the spinning ball.
Qiuqiu noticed Xingxing's good mood, squatted in the child's palm and thought for two seconds, then asked: "Xingxing, have you thought of how to deal with the relationship between the two families?"
Xingxing shook her head.
Looking at her father surrounded by the steam from the pot, Xingxing held the ball in her arms and shared softly, "Because dad is cute, the ball is cute, and Xingxing is happy."
Qiuqiu: “……!”
Boy! What kind of super critical hit are you talking about? !
Do you want to knock me out with your childish words and let me continue to spin around in your hands?
Qiuqiu's emotions were a little messed up by the words of his little star. He didn't know why he felt so touched, but when he saw Xingxing smiling obediently, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
"Stars are cute too!" The light ball jumped up excitedly, flew to the child's forehead and kissed him intimately, then announced loudly: "We are the cutest family!"
Star:"……"
Reach out, squeeze the ball, and be quiet.
Soon, the lovely Sunflower father brought plate after plate of delicious dishes and placed them on the small table. Then he tied an apron on his back, picked up Xingxing, who was still playing with the toy car on the ground, with one hand, and went out to the end of the corridor to wash his hands.
The cute ball flew behind them, leisurely and happily, and was discussing with the stars which cartoon to watch in the evening.
The Cheng family seemed not to appear in their stable life, and everything was as warm and peaceful as ever.
When it was almost time for dinner, there was a knock on the door. Xingxing turned her head and saw a familiar smiling face.
"Xingxing, do you still remember your uncle?" Zhao Dong walked in familiarly, put down the braised dishes and fruits in his hands, then raised his hand to rub the child's soft and fluffy hair.
Xingxing raised her little hand, pressed against the big hand that was making trouble on her head, and called him "Uncle" with a stern face.
Seeing this, Zhao Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "You little bastard, you are still holding a grudge against me!"
"What?" Zhou Xiangyang's curious eyes wandered between the big and the small.
Zhao Dong waved his hand: "Nothing, nothing. Didn't you ask me to come over for a drink? I bought some braised vegetables and cut them up. Why did you cook such a large table of dishes? Didn't you go to the food court this afternoon?"
When he came back and passed by, he didn't find Zhou Xiangyang on that street.
Zhou Xiangyang brought a stool for him to sit on, and sat down himself. Hearing this, he hummed, "I had something to do today, so I didn't go. I promised to treat you to a meal last time, and now I just happen to have time."
"Okay, looking at this table full of delicious food, I'm going to get drunk tonight!" Zhao Dong was a very free and easy-going and generous person. He said with a smile as he took the cold beer from Zhou Xiangyang's hand and opened it by hooking the pull ring.
The beer foam soon appeared, and Zhao Dong handed it to Zhou Xiangyang and opened another can for himself.
The two of them clinked their beer cans together and took a big gulp before even touching their food.
Xingxing was sandwiched between two tall adults, and her dark and clear eyes looked at them curiously as they tilted their heads back to drink.
I could smell a strange aroma, hear the sound of bubbles expanding and bursting, and the foam flowing down the beer can...
"What is this?" Xingxing asked, not understanding.
Qiuqiu immediately explained to the kid who had never seen beer in the apocalypse: "Kid, this is called beer. Kids can't drink it. The alcohol in it will make you feel uncomfortable."
As soon as Qiuqiu finished speaking, the next second, a paper cup filled with some beer was placed in front of Xingxing.
"Would you like to try it?" Zhao Dong patted the child's head.
“No!!” Qiuqiu screamed, “Children, don’t drink this kind of junk drink! Damn adults!!”
Star:"……"
Before Xingxing could reach out to take the paper cup, another hand reached out and took it away.
Xingxing turned his head and saw Sunflower's father tilting his head back to drink up the beer in the paper cup, and then put the milk with a straw in front of him.
"This doesn't taste good, drink milk." Zhou Xiangyang also rubbed his son's head.
The movements were so smooth and flowing that Zhao Dong laughed especially loudly.
Star:"……"
Strange adults.
In addition to the braised dishes brought by Zhao Dong, there were also scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried pork with cucumbers, braised pork, cold-mixed bean curd and peanuts, etc. The small table was filled to the brim, which was a scene that only appeared during the Chinese New Year in Zhou Chenxing's memory.
There was laughter in the house. The two adults talked about life, raising children, work and everything else. Xingxing held the spoon and buried her head in the food, so she couldn't finish it.
He was not very good at using chopsticks to pick up food, but there was always enough food in his small bowl. Even when the two adults were chatting excitedly, they would pay attention to what he liked to eat, and then pick up food for him with chopsticks one by one. They would also deliberately put Xingxing's favorite dish to the other side to prevent it from being splashed with wine when they toasted.
Qiuqiu hid in Xingxing's neck in disgust, expressing her dislike for Zhao Dong with her actions!
Humph, those who encourage children to drink are bad guys!
By the time Xingxing had managed to fill her stomach, the two adults were already a little drunk, and Zhou Xiangyang, who had been quite talkative, gradually quieted down.
Qiuqiu was as if facing a formidable enemy: "Baby! It's all over, Sunflower's daddy drank too much, he might cry again soon!!!"
Human beings are really emotional animals. Sunflower father’s tears are like a faucet that can’t be turned off, they always come out as they please!
Xingxing leaned in her father's arms, holding the bottle of milk, her head resting on her father's missing arm, and yawned slightly.
"It's okay." He squeezed the ball and said softly, "Sunflower Daddy drank a lot of water. If he doesn't cry, he will be easily drowned by the sad water."
Just like the two little kids who once planted vegetables in the spiritual field in the space, even if they added too much spiritual spring water, the seedlings would be drowned.
"Tears will make Sunflower Papa healthy."
