"Xiao Fan, you really don't hate your father for beating you?"
Li Miaomiao didn't want her son to be indifferent on the surface but hold a grudge in his heart, so she specifically asked
Pei Yifan shook his head: "Mom, I know Dad is doing this for my own good. When Dad was away, I actually envied the children in the village who had a father to take care of them. Even though Dad was a little strict, I knew it was for their own good."
Pei Yifan's expression showed some admiration while he was speaking.
Upon hearing this, Li Miaomiao knew that her son really did not hate her father. It was her preconceived notion that she always put the characters in the book into her own heads without her consent, forgetting that even in the book, Pei Yifan actually had high expectations and admiration for his father Pei Guoan at the beginning.
Pei Guoan felt a little sad when he heard this. During the days when he was not back, Li Miaomiao and her son must have had a very difficult time.
"Xiao Fan, I'm sorry. Dad didn't do well enough."
"Dad, you're actually very good. You're my hero. Although you wrongly blamed me this time, it's also because I didn't open my mouth to explain."
Pei Yifan is very stubborn when he is stubborn, but when Pei Guoan talks to him in this way and puts aside his attitude, he can reflect on his mistakes.
Pei Guoan was relieved to hear his son say this and looked at Li Miaomiao.
"Wife, since our son has said this, will you forgive me this time? I will definitely learn from my mistakes and won't be so arbitrary again."
Seeing Pei Guoan like this, Li Miaomiao glared at him and said, "Since Xiaofan doesn't care, what else can I do to you? But remember, if you hit my son again, I won't be so easy to deal with. Xiaofan is a sensible child and knows how to do things. You must learn to respect and trust him."
Pei Guoan did get to know his son again through this incident.
"Listen, I know what to do."
Pei Guoan was so humble that Li Miaomiao stopped nagging him. After all, it was New Year's Eve, otherwise Li Miaomiao would not let it go so easily.
As for Chen Xuexiang, Li Miaomiao took note of her. It would be too easy to deal with such a woman, and there was no need to rush. She didn't want to ruin the festive atmosphere of the New Year for such a person.
"I'm going to the kitchen to cook. Tonight is our own little family New Year's Eve party. You guys should hurry up and take a bath. I've already boiled the water for you."
According to their local custom, everyone has to take a bath on New Year's Eve to greet the new year with a brand new look.
Li Miaomiao went to the kitchen and said that. Pei Guoan got some water for his son and asked him to take a bath, while he went to the kitchen to help Li Miaomiao.
In this age of television and mobile phones, Li Miaomiao always goes to bed early. By twelve o'clock, she has dozed off several times.
Pei Yifan, on the other hand, was full of energy. When it was twelve o'clock, he immediately ran to take out the firecrackers he had prepared.
"Happy New Year, Dad! Happy New Year, Mom!"
"Happy New Year, son!"
"Let's go set off firecrackers."
While they were talking, firecrackers were heard outside one after another. Pei Yifan quickly ran out with the firecrackers.
The sound of firecrackers popped in the yard, and the family of three had smiles on their faces.
Li Miaomiao didn't sleep well that night as firecrackers kept ringing outside. The next morning, even though Li Miaomiao was still very sleepy, she got up early and found Pei Guoan busy in the kitchen.
"I've already prepared breakfast. Go brush your teeth and wash your face. By the way, wake Xiaofan up for breakfast."
As soon as Pei Guoan said this, Pei Yifan came in from outside.
"Mom and Dad, I'm up."
After breakfast, the family dressed in new clothes and went to visit Old Man and Old Lady Pei to wish them a happy new year.
When we got there, both Pei Guosheng and Pei Guoqiang's families were there, and they had obviously come to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning.
It was the eldest family who arrived late. If they hadn't thought about wishing the children red envelopes and having a good meal at noon, they would not have planned to come.
On the first day of the new year, everyone was in high spirits, even the eldest wife, who came late but still greeted everyone with a smile on her face.
Pei Guoan, on the other hand, did not have a good face towards Pei Guosheng.
Pei Guosheng didn't know how he had offended his second brother, and he was quite puzzled.
She spent the first day at Pei's house, and on the second day she went to her parents' home. On the third day, Li Miaomiao invited her parents' family to come over for dinner, so she got ready early in the morning.
There were quite a few of my wife’s family members, filling up two large tables.
However, despite this, Li Miaomiao was not in a hurry. She only had some dishes to prepare temporarily, and she had prepared all the other ingredients.
Looking at the old house where Li Miaomiao lived, the Li family felt sad again, thinking that Pei Guoan had wronged their sister.
Although everyone agreed at that time and were waiting for Li Miaomiao to "show off her cooking skills", when the time really came, not only He Guixiang who doted on her daughter, but also several of Li's sisters-in-law came to the kitchen to help.
"Mom, sister-in-law, I'm ready. I don't need your help. Please go sit in the main hall."
Li Miaomiao made a few cups of tea and went over, and Pei Yifan also took out the fruits that he had prepared long ago.
When the children saw the milk candies and fruit candies in the fruit plate, they all gathered around happily.
"Little sister, how can we let you work in the kitchen alone? We are sitting here anyway, so why not help you with some work?"
Several sisters-in-law are not used to Li Miaomiao's diligence. You know, the younger sister-in-law used to be idle at home and did not do any housework. Although these sisters-in-law have some opinions, after all, she is the only sister-in-law.
Especially Liao Xuemei, she married into the Li family early and raised Li Miaomiao as her own daughter.
"Yeah, there are so many of us eating, how can we let you be busy all by yourself while we sit here and eat dry food."
"Sister-in-law, Guoan has been helping out, and the ingredients are ready. You don't have much to do in the kitchen. I'll cook the dishes and we can eat. It's New Year's Day, and we don't have to work. Why don't you just relax and enjoy yourself?"
He Guixiang had just seen it in the kitchen, and indeed the ingredients were all ready. After hearing Li Miaomiao say this, she said, "Okay, my daughter loves you, why don't you appreciate it?"
"Okay, we'll just wait and eat the ready-made food today." Mrs. Li Si was straightforward. Since her sister-in-law was so sensible and cared about them as sisters-in-law, she would appreciate it.
"Okay, you guys stay here, roast the fire and eat the fruit. I'll go to the kitchen and get busy."
This was the first time that Li Miaomiao entertained her mother's family in such a grand manner, so she naturally was willing to spend money and prepared all the dishes in generous portions.
"Little sister, you are living a good life. There are so many delicious foods."
"Little sister, why are you spending so much on this meal? We know you're living a good life now. If you have extra money, save more and renovate the house. There are many expenses. Xiaofan is growing up now, and we need to save money slowly. In the future, he will get married, and that will all cost money."
