Zhou Chengning quickly came back with a brush and started brushing the mud off the tires.
Today, when I was driving back and forth from school to home, mud had accumulated on the tires. I had to brush it off, otherwise it would keep piling up and it would be difficult to ride the bike.
After letting Niu Niu amuse himself by pedaling the cart for a while, Xu Xiangjuan held Niu Niu in her arms and said, "Aning, take Gua Gua down. Gua Gua and mommy go to the kitchen."
His lover finally said this, and Zhou Chengning immediately carried Gua Gua out of the car.
Mom has the final say at home, so Gua Gua had no choice but to follow her to the kitchen.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Let's go see Grandpa tomorrow. Guagua can take the car then. Mom will also move a small stool for you to put inside, and Guagua can sit on it then."
Fortunately, we are not moving, otherwise this tricycle would definitely not be enough. The tricycle we bought at home is a small one, and it would definitely be crowded if we put quilts, blankets and other sundries on it. But there is no other way, we have to bring all the things with us when we go.
"good!"
Xu Xiangjuan felt it necessary to ask her daughter to control her sudden emotional excitement. She had been talking like a chicken with blood pumped up all day and could scare people out of the blue.
Zhou Chengning got off work early today, so the family prepared dinner early. After washing up, he packed up grandpa's things.
Zhou Chengning finished up and was the last one to go back to the inner room and close the door.
"Try on these shoes and see if they fit your feet." Xu Xiangjuan handed the woolen shoes she had made in the afternoon to Zhou Chengning.
Niu Niu and Gua Gua are not asleep yet. Niu Niu is held in his mother's arms and looking at his father, while Gua Gua is sitting by the bed and looking at his father.
Being stared at by three pairs of eyes, Zhou Chengning suppressed his deep love for his lover and pretended to be calm while trying on the shoes.
"Very comfortable, fits the feet perfectly." It feels like walking on cotton, very comfortable.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Try walking for a few steps. If it feels comfortable, I will make you a pair when I have free time."
Zhou Chengning walked a few steps as he was told, and it really felt like he was walking on cotton!
Dad's feet are relatively big, so his shoes look big too. Niu Niu kicked his feet, revealing small socks hanging down from them. After staring at his feet for a while, Niu Niu went to look at Dad's feet again.
When Guagua saw his father's new shoes, he couldn't wait to tell his father, "Dad, I have shoes too."
Zhou Chengning: "Dad knew that Guagua had one too, so he put it in his room. They are very nice shoes... The shoes made by mom are comfortable to wear and keep you warm in winter."
Guagua: "Yeah! New Year's shoes!"
When Xu Xiangjuan heard Guagua mention the New Year shoes, she said, "They can be used as New Year shoes. You have to wear them even when the weather is cold. Did Aning hear that?"
I'm mainly saying this for Aning to hear. Gua Gua has more than one pair of woolen shoes.
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, I heard it... These shoes are really comfortable and warm your feet."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Aning, I may not be able to take care of you like I do Guagua and Niuniu. If you feel cold or hot or uncomfortable somewhere, just tell me. We are a family, not outsiders."
"Juan, I understand, we are a family." Zhou Chengning's eyes were red.
Xu Xiangjuan gently held down Niu Niu's feet, which were dangling randomly and had nowhere to rest. "Hurry up and lie down on the bed, Gua Gua, go to sleep quickly. We will take the car to Grandpa's house tomorrow."
Don’t let Guagua see Dad cry again, and don’t let her explain to Guagua that Dad just had sand in his eyes.
Zhou Chengning took off his shoes and put them on the simple shoe rack at home, then got into bed and turned his back to Xu Xiangjuan.
Xu Xiangjuan could see Zhou Chengning's shoulders trembling, and he must be crying while trying to suppress his voice.
Guagua didn’t notice that his father was crying. When he heard his mother say it was time to go to sleep, he lay down and looked forward to riding the tricycle tomorrow.
...
The sentimental Zhou Chengning had returned to normal when he woke up the next day. The school had a general cleaning in the afternoon, but he still had classes in the morning. He had loaded his grandfather's things on the tricycle last night, and walked to school this morning without bringing lunch. He went home for lunch at noon, and then went to his grandfather's house after lunch.
"Dad, the car." Seeing that his father was about to go out, Gua Gua hurried to chase after him.
Why doesn’t Dad drive the car? Mom has already put the small stool ready for her.
Xu Xiangjuan explained for Zhou Chengning, "Guagua, Dad has to go to work and will be home at noon. We can take the bus after lunch."
Guagua turned around and went back without hesitation, "Goodbye, Dad."
Zhou Chengning: ...It seems that in my daughter's heart, riding in a car is more important than having a father.
She had already told her parents yesterday that she would not go to their place, so she stayed at home in the morning. Niu Niu was still sleeping now, so she could use her free time to knit a woolen coat for the rubber hot water bottle.
Guagua stayed at home obediently this morning and did not go out. He usually plays in the yard, or when he meets Miaomiao, he plays with Miaomiao.
Miaomiao is older than Guagua and is in kindergarten. She has few opportunities to meet Guagua, who is not yet in kindergarten.
But staying at home and playing with wool is also a very interesting activity for Gua Gua.
The morning passed quickly. Xu Xiangjuan prepared dinner on time and waited for the children's father to come back so that they could set off after dinner.
On the way to Grandpa's house, Guagua also acted as Niu Niu's little teacher. When he saw a tree, he pointed at it and taught Niu Niu to read trees, stones, vegetables, water...
Xu Xiangjuan didn't want to discourage her three-year-old daughter's enthusiasm for teaching. Isn't talking to a three-month-old Niu Niu no different from "playing the lute to a cow"?
The three-month-old Niu Niu doesn’t understand what his sister says, but he still cooperates with her very well, waving his hands or kicking his legs, and laughing when he is happy.
Xu Xiangjuan looked at her silly pair of children and felt she had nothing to say. "Aning, stop for a while if you're tired."
"Not tired, Juan, are you and the kids sitting on the bumpy ride?"
"It's not bumpy, just ride slowly."
After a brief communication between the couple, the one who rode a bike rode a bike, and the one who took care of the child took care of the child.
Grandpa Zhou is not stringing bracelets today, probably because he is out of work. He is sitting in front of the thatched hut reading a book.
The book is rather worn and has turned yellow, probably because it has been read many times.
"What's going on?" Grandpa Zhou stood up and put the book on the bench he was sitting on.
Zhou Chengning came up and apologized to his grandfather, admitting his mistake, "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I told my aunt that you didn't live well. In fact, my aunt not only sent the duck, but also sent money. I took the initiative to buy these things for you. There are still three hundred left. I have to buy you a rattan chair. This thatched house also needs to be reinforced and covered with a rain cloth, so I won't give it to you yet."
"Why spend so much money on me? It would be better to buy more food and books for Guagua and Niu Niu... It would also be more useful to buy clothes and shoes for the children instead of spending it on me."
Zhou Chengning started to unload his things. He also had to make the quilt for his grandfather. "That's why I didn't tell you that I bought these for you."
"Grandpa, I'll go next door and ask them if they know that my aunt will come during the New Year." Xu Xiangjuan carried Niu Niu to next door. Gua Gua thought about it and followed his mother to next door.
After Xu Xiangjuan left, only the grandfather and grandson were left. Grandpa Zhou asked his grandson, "Why is little Chengning so ignorant? Your aunt gave you money, so you asked your wife to keep it well and save it for the children. It's a waste to buy things for grandpa, and it makes your wife angry."
“Grandpa, how can you think so much about Juan? She is not that kind of person, and auntie has given money to the children, so you can relax.”
This silly grandson, how can I let him relax? Wait... "Didn't your wife just say that your aunt will be back for the New Year?"
"Yes, what happened to Grandpa? Didn't my younger brother and sister tell you?"
"What is this!"
