She doesn't know how many people she'll be meeting today. What if her specially styled hair gets messed up?
Xie Yan: "..."
He's very sensible, okay? How could he mess up his hairstyle? His wife is so mean!
Yu Yuehui quietly reached out and touched the spot where Xie Yan had just been hit, then awkwardly changed the subject, "Is our new house far from Tiananmen Square?"
Xie Yan: "?"
Suddenly realizing he hadn't told his wife about the house's location, he quickly added, "Our house is very close to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City; we can walk there."
Yu Yuehui's eyes widened in surprise, sparkling with excitement. "Really?"
Xie Yan nodded, "Let's take some pictures at the Forbidden City then."
In fact, he had already planned it out. Once he arrived in Beijing, he would try to get a camera and take his wife and children to various scenic spots to take photos.
After the group finished breakfast, Gu Bin's shouts came from outside.
Xie Yan slung his bag over his shoulder, took Chaochao's hand, said goodbye to Qian Hong, and walked out, intentionally leaving the house to his wife and mother.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Tongtong, dressed in chubby clothes. The little one looked like a pink glutinous rice ball, swaying and bobbing as she walked over.
Tongtong has sharp eyes and spotted Chaochao from afar. Her eyes immediately lit up like little stars, and she excitedly stretched out her arms and ran towards them. The round little guy wobbled even more as she ran, shouting loudly, "Chaochao! Chaochao!"
Upon hearing this, Chaochao, who was being led by Xie Yan, immediately let go of her father's hand and ran towards Tongtong.
Soon, the two little pink dumplings reunited. Once together, they became two chattering sparrows. Although they hadn't seen each other for just one night, it felt like they hadn't seen each other for a year, and they couldn't stop talking.
The two little ones had already decided on their own clothes for today; they were wearing pink cotton-padded coats that Zhang Linghui had made for them last year.
Strangely enough, even though they weren't twins, they made both Xie Yan's and Gu Bin's families truly experience the troubles of having twins.
Ever since they wore the same clothes during last year's Chinese New Year, it's as if some strange button on them has been triggered, and they've wanted to do the same thing in everything ever since.
Clothes had to be the same, shoes had to be the same, and later it even evolved to the point that hair ties and hairstyles had to be exactly the same.
Tongtong's hair was too short to style in many ways, so Zhang Linghui had no choice but to discuss with Yu Yuehui that she would style Tongtong's hair first and then do the same for Chaochao.
Just like now, the two of them are wearing the same hats, which Yu Yuehui and Zhang Linghui specially discussed yesterday. They thought it would be difficult to comb their hair on the train, so they simply put the hats on them.
After the two families met, they boarded Uncle's oxcart at the crossroads.
Qian Hong stood there, watching the oxcart drive away into the distance, tears blurring her vision.
While secretly wiping away her tears, she inwardly berated herself: it was clearly a good thing that her daughter was going to Beijing, but she just couldn't control her tears, which flowed out like beads from a broken string.
Feeling guilty, she turned and walked home, thinking she had to hurry back and tidy up the house.
The two children left in such a hurry, they didn't even make their beds, and the front door was still wide open. She had to hurry back and lock the door; as the saying goes, "a broken-down house is worth two taels of silver," and she didn't want any fool to sneak in.
On the other side, Yu Yuehui's eyes were also red. As she watched her mother's figure grow smaller and smaller, a sudden impulse surged within her. She wished she could jump out of the car immediately, pull her mother up with her, and go to Beijing together.
Chaochao noticed that her mother was upset, so she moved closer, reached out her little hands to hug Yu Yuehui's neck, and gave her two kisses on the cheek. She said in her childish voice, "Mommy, let's not cry~ Next year, next year we'll take Grandma to Beijing together."
"This year we went to help Grandma scout the way, but next year our whole family can go!"
As if imagining what it would be like for them to go together next year, she tilted her head and looked at Yu Yuehui with bright eyes, "Didn't Daddy say that our family has lots and lots of houses?"
"I'll prepare a room for my brother too. He's so old and still doesn't have his own room. He'll definitely be moved to tears when he finds out he has one."
As Chaochao's innocent voice rang out, Yu Yuehui gradually calmed down, smiled, and picked her up, saying, "Okay! We'll listen to Chaochao."
Xie Yan chimed in, "Yes, how about we have Chaochao decorate the room for brother this time?"
"Really?" Chaochao's eyes widened in surprise. She broke free from Yu Yuehui's embrace and rushed into Xie Yan's arms, looking at him with bright, expectant eyes.
Xie Yan chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Of course it's true!"
Chaochao was overjoyed. So happy, she offered her face to Xie Yan's hand and said in her childish voice, "Daddy, pinch me again."
Xie Yan smiled and stretched out his "devilish claws." This little one is growing up and doesn't like others pinching her cheeks. Unexpectedly, today, in order to decorate her brother's room, she actually took the initiative to "offer" her cheeks.
Ha, what a clever little devil who can bend and stretch.
On the other side, Mao Dan, who had just woken up and rushed over to deliver his younger sister's clothes without even dressing properly, stood blankly in the empty house, tears welling up in his eyes.
Seeing Qian Hong walk in from outside, he understood everything. Without saying a word, he ran out with tears in his eyes, determined to catch up with the oxcart.
Qian Hong reacted quickly, grabbing his arm. "Don't go! Your sister and aunt have already gone far away."
Mao Dan refused to believe it and tried to rush outside by twisting his neck.
Qian Hong quickly pulled the person back into the house and coaxed, "They're almost at Zhangjia Village up ahead now. Do you think you can catch up?"
When Mao Dan heard that he wasn't going to run outside, he still stood there with his neck twisted, tears streaming down his face.
Seeing that he wasn't running outside anymore, Qian Hong stopped paying attention to him and started tidying up the house.
When I finished tidying up and came over, I found him still crying. I quickly handed him the peeled egg in my hand and said with heartache, "Don't cry. You're a man. Don't be crying like this. If Chaochao sees you like this, she will definitely laugh at you."
"These are the eggs they saved for you, come and eat them."
Mao Dan held the eggs in both hands, looking at Qian Hong with teary eyes, and complained in a tearful voice, "Grandma, why didn't you call me!"
Qian Hong was speechless for a moment. She saw that Mao Dan was sleeping so soundly that she really couldn't bear to wake him up.
But you absolutely cannot admit to that, otherwise, given Mao Dan's dog-like temper, he will definitely make a scene.
So he put on a serious face and said firmly, "Where did I not call you?"
"I've called you so many times, but you're sleeping like a little pig. You're so sound asleep, I can't wake you up no matter what I do."
She paused, then added, "I can't keep waiting for you, otherwise I won't have time to take them."
Mao Dan was skeptical, frowning slightly. "It really made a sound?"
