Xiao Ci nestled on Liu Wangxue's belly, lying alone in a rocking chair. When it felt the rocking chair stop, it would exert some strength to make the chair rock again, and then continue to lie there quietly.
The little fellow Guagua went to the pomegranate tree again. After singing the song, he started from the bottom pomegranate and stepped on each one until he reached the top.
This habit has only appeared in the last two days, probably thanks to Xu Qingsong.
Liu Wangxue held the book, but her eyes were fixed on the little parrot: "Mom, look at it, doesn't it look like it's counting its collection?"
Gu Xuelan looked up and said with a smile, "You are such a money-loving bird, you don't even feel tired."
It now controls the pomegranates in the entire tree. It doesn't allow people to pick the biggest one, let alone the other small ones.
Last time, Xu Qingsong came over and saw that the skins of several pomegranates had basically turned dark red. He said, "I think they should be ripe. Pick some and try them."
As soon as he approached the pomegranate tree, the Guagua that was eating the fruit immediately flew over to protect the food.
Liu Wangxue laughed at him: "Who told you to try to steal his big pomegranate last time? Well, this time I won't even let you pick the small ones."
Xu Qingsong tried to reason with a bird: "Well, since you are smaller than me, I will give you the big one and not fight with you for it. But you are blocking these small ones? Being stingy is not a virtue. Try to be a sharing bird, okay?"
Guagua didn't care what he said. Wherever he stretched out his hand, the bird would fly over to block it. In the end, the bird was forced to say to him directly: "No! No!"
Liu Wangxue felt that she could hear anger through the two "no". She thought, if this was a child, he would probably cry out of anger.
Xu Qingsong still didn't give up, pointing in the direction of his yard: "Let me tell you, there is a cherry tree over there. If you don't let me eat pomegranates this year, you won't be able to eat any cherries next year."
Gua Gua was still standing on the branch of the pomegranate tree, staring at Xu Qingsong: "No! No!"
Xu Qingsong turned around and looked at Liu Wangxue, thinking: "I don't think you are a stingy person. How come the bird you raised is like this?"
"Wow, you can actually say such a thing," Liu Wangxue pretended to be incredulous. "It's just a bird, it doesn't know anything, and you actually said it has moral problems? As a human being, don't you have a heart of tolerance, forbearance, and compassion? Why are you arguing with it?"
This sentence suddenly hit Xu Qingsong's funny spot, and he immediately hallucinated, "He's still a child, he doesn't know anything, why are you arguing with him?"
After Xu Qingsong finished speaking, he praised Liu Wangxue: "What a parent who is well versed in moral kidnapping—"
Liu Wangxue modestly said: "Thank you very much——"
When Gu Xuelan came back from the vegetable garden, she heard their conversation outside the courtyard wall and said, "Isn't raising a pet the same as raising a child? You can't spoil it, it's easy to spoil it."
"Mom, what do you think we should do?" Liu Wangxue asked.
"Don't pick it in front of it." said Gu Xuelan.
"Secretly?" Xu Qingsong interpreted.
"I didn't say 'steal'." Gu Xuelan said with a smile.
"What kind of idea is this..." Liu Wangxue disagreed. Fortunately, her mother did not educate her like this when she was a child.
Now, Gu Xuelan held the needle and thread and looked at Gu Gua a few more times, wanting to test the bird's intelligence. She said to Liu Wangxue, "When you take the three of them out to play this afternoon, I will secretly pick the ones that look ripe. Let's see if it can find them when it counts them tomorrow."
Liu Wangxue thought of the last time's "don't do it in front of her", and felt that Ms. Gu Xuelan still had a childlike heart. However, she also wanted to know whether Gu Gua, who was so protective of his food, could notice it and what his reaction would be.
A smile that showed her great desire for mischief appeared on her face, and she gave Gu Xuelan a thumbs up: "Mom, you are the best!"
Gu Xuelan raised her eyebrows and gave her a smug look.
In the evening, Liu Wangxue took the three to the threshing ground, and Gu Xuelan really went to pick pomegranates. She looked around the tree, picked a few that had already cracked open, and then peeled two. In order to prevent Gu Gua from finding the remaining three, she put them in a cloth bag.
Over at the threshing ground, Pengpeng wasn't having much fun, and after running two laps he didn't want to move anymore. Xiaoci and I stood there motionless, looking at the path the two kids usually took home.
Liu Wangxue squatted beside them, holding one in each hand: "Oh, do you miss Xiaoyouzi and Jinghe?"
Peng Peng snuggled into her arms, wooing twice, and Xiao Ci also jumped onto her lap and rubbed against her arms.
So, after playing for a while today, Liu Wangxue called out to Guaguai from the poplar tree and took them home.
Coming out of the threshing ground, they reached the fork in the road. Pengpeng and Xiaoci looked towards the other road. This was where they usually parted with their two children.
Liu Wangxue took out his phone and took a close-up of each of them, captioning:
"It's the first day Jinghe left. I miss him!"
"The first day that Youyou left, I missed him~"
Gua Gua stood on Liu Wangxue's shoulder, watching her operate the mobile phone interface.
After Liu Wangxue made these two emoticons, he posted them in the group: [Alas, two sad ones, what should I do?]
Lan Xiaoxi: [Oh my god, I just watched Hachiko again recently and I am about to cry]
Yue Cheng: [I am about to cry too, what’s going on]
Tao Huayu: [Pregnant? So sentimental]
Tao Huayu: [Why is my little parrot not here? I don’t accept it]
Willow Catkins: [Who was the one who yelled at the bird?]
Wenxi: [Hug my cats and dogs, they are so pitiful]
Li Yu: [@Shen Nian'an, Brother Shen, have you guys returned to Beijing? Ah, I didn't know, I didn't even go to see you off!!!]
Li Yu has been a little overwhelmed recently. He never expected that Du Yunkai would be such a picky person.
In more than ten days, he produced several drafts for one scene, but they were rejected one after another! Du Yunkai was like a ruthless suggestion machine, which destroyed the self-confidence that Li Yu had built up with great difficulty.
The children all had deep doubts about whether they were suitable for the design industry. And Gu Zicheng, the scene designer of the PC game team, complained to him almost every day.
Li Yu simply couldn't bear to think about it. Is this the real workplace? When he works for Party A in the future, will it be even more terrifying than this? Yue Cheng: [Yes, when did Brother Shen go back?]
Lan Xiaoxi: [Then I won’t be able to see Xiao Youzi Σ(っ°Д°;)っ]
Tao Huayu: [I will be back during the winter vacation]
Willow Catkins: [We can celebrate the New Year together then]
At this point, Shen Nian'an and his wife and their two children arrived home. Because they had played the emotional card of their grandparents when persuading the two children to return to Beijing, they went directly to the old people's home after getting off the plane.
