They're used to diving in the Northeast and think this ice is the same as the snow.
They ran onto the ice and plunged in, only to all of them fall flat on their faces in a split.
The three dogs were all stunned by the fall.
Zhuang Zhimeng, holding Pingping's hand, skating right up to them, almost made her laugh so hard she fell flat on the ice.
"Hahaha, these dogs are so funny! I thought they were going to dive right in!"
"Haha, Auntie, those three dogs are so funny!"
An Qingbai, holding An'an's hand, also slid over here, and when he saw it, he laughed heartily.
"Haha, they all think they're in the snow!"
"Uncle, let's quickly help the dog up!"
An Qingbai and Zhuang Zhimeng simultaneously reached out and patted the dogs' bottoms.
"Get up! You can only run, don't dive!"
The three dogs stopped pretending and all stood up.
They switched to sprinting, running back and forth on the ice with their tongues flaring out.
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled.
"These three dogs get this excited whenever they see ice or snow."
Pingping's suggestion.
"Auntie, shall we go chase after those three dogs?"
"Okay, let's go."
Zhuang Zhimeng took Pingping to chase the dog.
An'an took her uncle's hand and shook it.
"Uncle, shall we hurry and chase after them?"
"Alright, let's go, let's go after them."
The three dogs were running around wildly, but when they saw their owner chasing them, they turned around and started playing hide-and-seek with him.
"Hey, I don't believe I can't catch them."
"Pingping, Auntie needs to speed things up!"
"Okay, Auntie, let's go!"
Zhuang Zhimeng held her nephew's hand and sped up gliding on the ice.
Seeing this, An Qingbai also discussed it with An An.
"An'an, we need to speed things up too, is that okay?"
"Uncle is fine, let's go."
An Qingbai and An An also sped up their gliding.
Just as they were about to catch up with the three dogs, who were still trying to run away, Zhuang Zhimeng gave an order.
"Stop! No one is allowed to run anymore."
The three dogs finally stopped running.
Zhuang Zhimeng and her nephew stopped and walked over to the dogs, patting their heads.
"This makes us feel like we're being toyed with like monkeys."
She took a couple of deep breaths and patted the dog's bottom with her little hand.
"I'm exhausted from chasing after you guys."
An Qingbai, holding An An's hand, also came over.
"Zhizhi, they can really run! They ran us around so many times."
"You're right! These guys would keep running even if I told them to stop!"
An'an also gasped for breath.
"Auntie, the dog runs so fast, we can't catch it!"
"Hehe, dogs run on all fours, while we only have two. No matter how hard we try, we can't outrun them!"
"Haha, Auntie, what you said is so funny."
"Hehe, Auntie, you're so funny."
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and asked her nephews.
"Do you want to continue playing? If not, let's go back. It's about time for dinner."
"I'm done playing, I'm hungry, I want to eat."
"I'm hungry too, I got hungry from chasing dogs."
"Alright, let's call them and head back."
Zhuang Zhimeng looked at her fiancé as she spoke.
"Brother Qingbai, let's split up and find our family members in the crowd."
"Okay, then I'll walk a little further away. Zhizhi, you'll be nearby!"
"Okay."
Zhuang Zhimeng led her two nephews slowly into the crowd, with the dog following automatically.
As Zhuang Zhimeng walked, she turned back to give instructions to the dogs.
"None of you are allowed to run anymore!"
"Woof!"
"Woof!"
"Woof!"
Zhuang Zhimeng was relieved to receive a response from the dogs.
Once all the family members are found, we'll all go back to the military compound together.
"You're back just now. I was just about to go find you. Dinner will be served soon."
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled at her father.
"Hehe, it seems we've returned at just the right time, not too early and not too late!"
"Go wash your hands, and we'll eat after you've washed them."
A group of people went to the restroom to wash their hands.
Grandpa has a dedicated chef who is in charge of cooking.
I made about ten dishes for lunch.
Every year on New Year's Eve, the old man would visit and comfort the soldiers in the military base.
So lunch was the family's New Year's Eve dinner.
After everyone was seated, Zhuang Bingqian raised his wine glass before picking up his chopsticks.
"Our family is getting bigger and bigger. In a few years, there won't be enough room for everyone here."
This is great news! It means our family is prospering. Let's raise a glass and wish our family even greater success year after year!
Everyone raised their glasses, either for wine or tea.
"cheers."
Cao Wenxiu also raised her wine glass, looking at her children and grandchildren.
"I hope our family will always be this united, and that we can get together to celebrate the New Year every year. Cheers!"
"Okay, cheers."
"Alright, let's eat. After we finish eating, we'll start taking photos. I have to get busy this afternoon."
An Qingbai noticed that his fiancée loved stir-fried beef, so he put a few extra pieces of beef on her plate.
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled sweetly at her fiancé and also put a few pieces of his favorite stewed pig's trotters on his plate.
Their affectionate scene was witnessed by their aunt sitting next to them.
"Oh my! Look how loving this young couple is."
You give me beef, I'll give you pig's trotters.
Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with smiles.
Tang Zuye laughed on Zhuang Ruoting's other side.
"Hehe, Ruoting, why do I feel like you're targeting me?"
Are you upset that I didn't serve you any food? Here, this is your favorite ribbonfish.
