Chapter 153: Meeting Abroad, Chen Yin fiercely...
Chapter 153 Reunion Abroad
Chen Yin hugged the children in her arms and glared at Yan Jiuru: "Don't scare them!"
Then she immediately put on a smile and kissed each child, "Baby, it's mommy~"
Yan Jiuru: If you don’t let me scare them, you will scare me!
The children felt their mother's familiar breath, and soon the magical sound of "Mom, Mom" began to fill their ears. The two little ones even tilted their necks and prepared to howl.
Yan Jiuru immediately warned: "Shut up! What did you promise Dad at home? Don't cry for every little thing when you go out!"
The three little ones turned their heads to look at their father with a sour face, tears welled up in their eyes but they dared not to let them fall. They buried their heads in their mother's arms and sobbed.
Hate dad!
Yan Jiuru sneered. "So what if I'm annoying? Just don't howl in public and make people feel annoying."
He said, "Let's go, let's talk when we get back."
He looked at Chen Yin again and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Let's go to the city to eat first."
Chen Yin pointed to a place not far away and said, "There's a lounge over there. Let's go there and change our clothes first.
It rained lightly yesterday, and it was a bit chilly this morning, only around 10 degrees Celsius outside.
Yan Jiuru smiled: "Yancheng has had several heavy snowfalls."
He lowered his head and asked the children, "Who needs to go to the bathroom?"
When Zhuangzhuang heard this, he immediately crossed his legs and looked at his father: "I need to pee!"
"Pee!"
"I'll do the same~"
Well, it's so troublesome to take children out.
After going to the bathroom, changing into a thick cotton jacket and cotton shoes, and putting on a sweater and coat, almost an hour had passed.
***
The family took a taxi to downtown San Francisco and found a KFC fried chicken restaurant near the subway station for a quick meal.
It was the first time for the three children to eat Western fast food, and they loved the fried chicken, hamburgers and French fries.
Before leaving, he told his father: "Come back to eat next time~"
One person ate five spicy chicken burgers and two large pieces of fried chicken, and that was just a base. Yan Jiuru casually responded, "Okay, okay, you can eat if you behave well."
The climate here is a bit like the late autumn in Yancheng. The winter clothes they brought are a bit thick, so the two of them dragged their luggage to Union Square. After storing their luggage at the department store, they took the children shopping.
Yan Jiuru only brought 5,000 US dollars in cash this time, but he transferred 50,000 US dollars to Chen Yin's bank card in the United States in advance.
After Chen Yin officially started school in the United States, she opened an account at a nearby bank. Yan Jiuru didn't care how much she spent and transferred her 5,000 US dollars every month. So, when she went to the bank to check her balance in the third month, the teller recommended that she apply for a bank card with a magnetic stripe.
In the United States, bank cards can now be used in almost all consumer places of a certain size, but international students there only have savings cards and cannot apply for revolving credit cards.
Chen Yin didn't need it either, as she couldn't spend all the money in her account.
Without the burden of luggage, they strolled through several high-end department stores in Union Square with ease.
Christmas Eve is coming soon. Government agencies, public service departments and even schools are basically all closed for holidays, but department stores and shopping malls are experiencing their hottest sales.
Yan Jiuru took Chen Yin to buy several formal suits, shirts, jeans, windbreakers, thin tweed coats, leather shoes, boots, sneakers and so on.
He thought the dresses were either revealing or backless, which he refused to buy because he thought they were ugly. However, he didn't mind the lace bras and panties being too revealing, so he asked the clerk to pick out sizes for him and buy him several sets.
Chen Yin didn't like showing so much skin, but she still glared at him several times.
However, considering that he came thousands of miles to see her, she didn't feel sorry at all and bought him several high-end suits, tweed coats, long and short windbreakers, and two boxes of underwear and socks.
After buying cosmetics, Yan Jiuru took her to buy jewelry and bags.
Chen Yin refuses to buy those expensive brand name decorative jewellery.
It's not pure gold.
In her opinion, gems do not hold their value, so she only chooses necklaces, bracelets, gem brooches, hairpins, etc. inlaid with her favorite rubies, sapphires, and emeralds.
Yan Jiuru's eyes were better than the appraiser. He pushed aside several pieces of so-called certified gemstone jewelry with disdain and selected them himself.
The shop assistants in the beautiful country also serve dishes to different people according to their appearance. Chen Yin looked unhappy when she was choosing, but Yan Jiuru gave her a light glance and immediately politely handed the dishes to her with both hands, letting her choose.
After Yan Jiuru picked out several sets of "valuable and value-preserving" jewelry, he also selected a tortoiseshell comb for Chen Yin and her mother.
***
For boys, buy a few sets of formal clothes, shoes and socks, snacks and toys, but no jewelry.
However, when shopping in the supermarket, several children drooled at the various sausages and bacon on the shelves.
Yan Jiuru is a big eater himself, so he naturally put the food in the shopping cart without hesitation. Chen Yin chose dairy products for the children. The two little ones are only three years old and need to drink some milk every day.
Later in the shopping, Chen Yin also took a fancy to a few quilts and blankets. She only had one extra one in her apartment, which was not enough for the whole family.
Yan Jiuru stroked her hair and said, "You don't usually go out, do you? There's not much in the supermarket near the school. You can take the subway over here on weekends. Don't stay on campus and read books."
Chen Yin smiled and said nothing.
She has very tight schedule for studying, and besides, she can't go shopping with her classmates. Other classmates are very frugal, so she doesn't want to spend lavishly on buying things.
After having lunch in Union Square, the family took the subway to the University of California, Berkeley, dragging two extra large suitcases.
***
There weren't many people on the subway, and the three little ones fell asleep out of exhaustion after a while.
The two of them then settled down to talk.
Yan Jiuru glanced at the young man and woman kissing passionately across from him, pulled Chen Yin's hand, raised it to his lips and kissed it.
Chen Yin's eyes rolled around, and she leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the face.
When Yan Jiuru was slightly stunned, he smiled.
Yan Jiuru took two deep breaths, scratched her palm, and diverted her attention: "After Christmas, go get your driver's license and we'll buy a car. That way, we won't have to go through this trouble next time."
Chen Yin held her forehead and said in frustration: "Oh, look at my brain!"
Now there are 0s and 1s in it, why didn’t I think of it?
"When I get back, I'll ask my classmates how to get a driver's license here."
Yan Jiuru pinched her nose and said, "When I delivered the goods to Michael, I specially brought you an adult version of the car. You can drive it when you go to and from get out of class on campus so that you don't have to rush to class."
The campus of UC Berkeley is also very large, and some classrooms are quite far away from each other. After class, you have to jog all the way to another class, and sometimes you are late because the teacher keeps the class after class.
The two of them would make international long-distance calls every few days, so Yan Jiuru could always find out about her situation.
"Yeah, that's fine."
Chen Yin knew that men could earn money to support the family, so it was no big deal for her to use a luxury car, and she could really use it anyway.
"If any classmates buy it, I will recommend Michael's store."
***
The next day was Christmas Eve here, and a huge Christmas tree was erected on the campus square of Berkeley. It was a pity that there was almost no snow in California in winter.
The tree was hung with red and green ribbons, various simulated stars, small gift boxes, snowflakes, etc. At noon, the lights on the Christmas tree were not turned on, which surprised the children.
There are also Christmas songs playing on loop.
Several children saw this kind of festive atmosphere for the first time and kept asking, "Mom, mom, what is this?"
“Why do trees sing?”
. . . . . .
Chen Yin answered all the way and finally arrived at her apartment.
"Wow--"
"Is this our home? It's so beautiful~"
To celebrate Christmas, Chen Yin specially hung a Christmas wreath on the door of her apartment and decorated the door with ribbons.
"Hurry into the house~"
The children rushed into the house: "Wow, it's so warm~"
"Wow, we have a Christmas tree at home too, it's more beautiful than the big one!"
I can't count the number of times I said 'wow' that day.
Yan Jiuru moved all the luggage into the house.
Chen Yin took off the children's thick coats and changed their shoes. The children ran around on the floor excitedly, sometimes throwing themselves on the sofa, sometimes throwing themselves on their mother's legs.
Xiaohu was a somewhat clingy child. He hugged his mother's legs and asked softly, "Mom, we will be together again in the future. We don't have to be apart anymore, right?"
Chen Yin stroked her son's furry head and said after a moment of silence, "It will be soon. After Mom finishes her studies, we won't have to be apart anymore."
Xiaohu pouted and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
Yan Jiuru caught sight of it and shouted, "Come and help, take out your toys and snacks and put them away."
When they heard about toys and snacks, the three little ones didn't care about anything else and immediately ran over, pushing and shouting and started rummaging through the suitcase.
Chen Yin gave Yan Jiuru a thumbs up.
Yan Jiuru raised his eyebrows: How could a little brat possibly defeat him?!
Chen Yin helped the three children prepare the bath water and interacted with them while bathing them.
After his mother and the others came out of the bathroom, Yan Jiuru looked at the water stains on the floor and went to clean them up without hesitation, and took a shower himself.
The whole family squeezed onto a big bed to take a nap.
Chen Yin was not tired at first, but after taking care of the three children, she felt the pain in her back again.
***
After lunch break, Yan Jiuru went to the study to call Michael and wish him a happy Christmas.
At the same time, I told him that I had arrived in Berkeley and would stay until the end of winter vacation.
If you have any questions during this period, you can call the apartment.
After the break, the two of them took their three kids to a supermarket near the school that was still open for some food.
Chen Yin lives a simple life every day. Apart from some decorations outside the door, there is almost no preparation for the festival in her apartment.
Yan Jiuru said that although they don’t celebrate Christmas, New Year’s Day is also the New Year. It’s a rare occasion for the family to get together, so they still have to celebrate the New Year well.
Rice, flour, cooking oil, beef, chicken, various seafood, vegetables, salad dressing, jam, bread, sausage, butter, etc., as well as towels, soap, baby skin care products, garbage bags, toilet paper, diapers for babies, etc., filled several shopping carts.
However, foreigners shopping in the supermarket today also checked out one cart at a time, so they were not conspicuous.
In the evening, the family sat together to make dumplings.
Chen Yin mixed two kinds of dumpling fillings, one with pork and leeks, and the other with pure beef filling.
There are no leeks in the supermarkets in the United States, but Chen Yin planted a patch of them in the small garden outside her apartment. She would cut a handful whenever she wanted to eat them, and they are growing well now.
It’s just that pork here is much more expensive than beef, and I rarely eat beef in China, so I bought a lot more this time and stored it in the refrigerator.
Chen Yin kneaded the dough, Yan Jiuru pressed the dough, rolled out the dough, and made the dumplings, but they just couldn't knead the dough and mix the stuffing.
The two of them work just right together.
When the children started to make trouble, Yan Jiuru turned on the TV and found a cartoon for them to watch. The three little ones dropped the dough in their hands and ran to watch the cartoon.
"What do you usually eat?"
"I try to make do with what I can. Sometimes on weekends, if I feel like doing something, I'll cook a meal."
"That won't do. I'm saying you should pack some and freeze it in the refrigerator. You can cook it when you want to eat it."
The two chatted about family matters and made more than 300 dumplings.
As a result, it was eaten up in one meal.
Chen Yin worriedly touched the children's bellies one by one, fearing that they had eaten too much.
Yan Jiuru said sourly: "Mom is too partial. She only touches your belly and never touches Dad's. I want it too~"
Chen Yin rolled her eyes: You are really successful!
***
At night, the two of them took a lot of patience to coax the children to sleep.
Yan Jiuru kicked open the door while holding his wife and went to the next room.
Maybe because she had been holding it in for too long, Yan Jiuru was so clingy that night that she even ignored Chen Yin's concerns that the child might wet the bed.
The two of them entangled from the guest room to the bathroom, and then rolled from the bathroom to the sofa. The whole battlefield was a disgusting sight.
Chen Yin only murmured twice in a broken voice, "Condom, put on...condom".
The next day, Chen Yin was woken up by the children picking their noses and scratching their eyes.
"Where's Dad?" Chen Yin asked in a hoarse voice.
Zhuangzhuang, wearing only his shorts, pointed outside and said, "Dad is working, tidying up the vegetable garden."
Even though he had done physical work all night last night, Yan Jiuru still got up early.
He finished his exercises feeling refreshed and called the children to get up, but only Zhuangzhuang woke up. The other two little ones were sleeping soundly, so he had to give up.
He was in a good mood and demonstrated the stick techniques himself and corrected his son's minor mistakes.
After finishing his exercises, he sent Zhuangzhuang into the house to wash up, and then he started to tidy up the vegetable patch in the small garden.
He is really full of energy.
Chen Yin held her waist and leaned against the door, watching the man working in the small garden.
Originally, she didn't have much time, and there were some parts of the vegetable garden where roots and stems were left over from harvesting and picking, but now the man had cleaned them up in one morning.
What needs to be dug should be dug, and what needs to be dug should be dug. There is no need to pile them together and prepare to throw them away as garbage.
Seeing Chen Yin coming out, Yan Jiuru turned around and smiled meaningfully: "You are lacking exercise. Don't worry, I will definitely help you make up for it."
Chen Yin gave him a fierce look, but it was more like a flirt.
Yan Jiuru burst out laughing when he saw this.
Chen Yin was so angry that she threw her hands and went into the house.
Soon, Jingjing came out and asked her father, "Mom wants to know what you want to eat for lunch."
