"It's nothing, nothing. I just wanted to ask if we could come and play during the winter break! Summer break is still a year away, it's a long, long time..." Little Tiger looked at his mother, then at his second aunt, his expression looking very depressed.
If only I could stay here every day! Oh my god, please give the cute little tiger a beautiful opportunity to stay! Little Tiger opened his eyes and prayed.
God is speechless: Who taught you to pray like this?
"Didn't your second aunt come to our place over the winter break?" Zhao Fangrui looked at her beloved grandson, who didn't want to go home, with a loving face. "Didn't you guys plan to have a snowball fight this year?"
Little Tiger scratched his chin, avoided his mother, and whispered to his grandmother, "But I still think it's more fun here, and I don't even know if it will snow..."
Wang Xiaomei: ...The sound was so loud that she heard every word.
Sanni heard it, and agreed wholeheartedly. Although she had only been to the supply and marketing cooperative twice since she came here, and had bought a chicken and a duck once, and had to train, work, correct mistakes, and ask for this and that... she still liked it here better, and thought Second Aunt's place was more fun.
"You can come during the winter break." Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the group of children with sparkling eyes and expectant faces, then turned to her mother and said, "Mom, why don't you come here to celebrate the New Year this year? It's freezing in Haishi, but the weather is good here. You don't even need a fire. There's seafood everywhere, so you can eat as much as you want. I've prepared some wine in advance..."
Cheng Zhenzhu listed the benefits of celebrating the New Year on Sanshi Island.
The six Tiao Tiao, three Ni and the little tiger all nodded in unison, "Yeah, yeah, yeah", the little deer also nodded, and the nine Tiao in Cheng Zhenzhu's arms shook their heads happily in a big way.
"We'll see when the time comes." If it's New Year, everyone will come, and it will be a hassle for the second daughter. Zhao Fangrui almost wanted to agree, but finally held back and turned to her grandson and granddaughter and said, "Have you ordered everything? Did you forget anything? Pack it up..."
"I've ordered everything, and it's almost full." Little Tiger patted his bulging schoolbag, then looked at the wine at his feet. He missed his father a little, which was rare.
His father is really something. He told me not to come, but he insisted. Now he is needed, but he is gone. Fortunately, he is strong and can help mother and grandmother.
Dani and Erni nodded. They'd already packed their most important books and homework. Everything else, aside from their clothes, was prepared by their second aunt. There were chewy shredded squid, grilled fish fillets, deep-fried shrimp, and giant seafood dumplings...all delicious snacks. They were told to pack as much as they could.
Sanni stared at the snacks still piled on the table and couldn't help but grab two more large dumplings. Her schoolbag couldn't fit them all in, but she could still hold some in her hands...
Xiaolu checked again, first she touched her pretty little bag and looked at the snacks she had packed inside, then she went to her mother's to check the pretty little skirt, and found that everything was there, and nodded seriously.
But... the little deer paused, blinked her bright eyes, and then pointed at Jiu Tiao and said, "Brother, brother~" She forgot to bring her brother, and she wanted to put the little brother in her bag and take him away.
"Jia Jia, Jia Jia~" Jiu Tiao heard the little sister calling her, and responded with a few words, then pulled his mother's clothes by the neck and wanted to get down to the ground.
Then Xiaolu hugged Jiu Tiao tightly and stuffed Jiu Tiao into her small bag, starting with her hands.
Jiu Tiao thought the little sister wanted him to take out some snacks, so he happily spread his little paws, but he pawed in and wouldn't let her out...
"Ah~" Jiujo grabbed the snacks and pulled them out with both hands.
"Brother Doudou~" Xiaolu tightened the shoulder bag and pulled his little hand inside.
Come in here, brother!
"Ahhh~" Jiujo couldn't figure out his little deer sister's intentions. He only knew that whoever caught it would be his. He chose a small...
At this moment, everyone was immersed in the mood of parting, and no one noticed the two little ones working back and forth like a saw.
"Okay, it's almost time for us to go." Zhao Fangrui checked the time, picked up two cans of wine, and then picked up a large bag. These were all goodies specially prepared for her by her daughter, and she couldn't bear to refuse any of them.
"Mom, let me carry it. Dani, Erni, give me the wine in your hands. I'll take you to town." Cheng Zhenzhu picked up the bag and two more cans of wine, and asked a few others to help share some of the weight.
A few of them immediately took over happily, allowing their grandmother and aunt to have a rest.
"Second sister, don't bother. We can just take a boat and get on the bus." Wang Xiaomei was afraid of troubling her second aunt too much.
"It's okay, I'll take them for a walk in town..." Cheng Zhenzhu locked the house and let the children continue to feel sad about their separation.
"Xiaomei, Aunt Fang Rui, are you going home?" You Yumei happened to be passing by Cheng Zhenzhu's house and saw a group of people carrying large and small bags, so she asked a few questions.
Last month, Sister Zhenzhu invited her and Sister Daming and her children to dinner, so she officially got to know Sister Zhenzhu, her sister-in-law. As for Aunt Fang Rui, she had known her for several years.
"Hey, let's go back. I've bothered my second sister for too long. Sister Yumei, are you going to catch the boat?" Wang Xiaomei asked, looking at the bucket in You Yumei's hand.
"Well, we've been so busy these past few months," You Yumei said cheerfully. Living by the sea, they had plenty to look forward to besides the Lunar New Year.
April and May, with their perfect temperatures and calm seas, are perfect for fishing. June and July bring abundant fresh catches, and August and September also offer plenty. October is prime fishing season...
"Then I wish Sister Yumei and you a good harvest, with a boat full of fish and shrimp." Wang Xiaomei said softly.
"Okay, okay, then I'll borrow your auspicious words, Xiaomei." You Yumei smiled brightly. As expected of a teacher, her words were so sweet, unlike her sister-in-law. Oh, she has been in so many troubles lately that she doesn't want to care about them and doesn't even want to go back to her parents' home. "You guys are going to catch the bus, right? Go quickly, what about coming to the island to play again..."
"Winter vacation is coming!" Little Tiger jumped with his schoolbag on his back, relaxing his shoulders. This time, he really took advantage of his mother's words and gained a lot. Second Aunt was very generous and prepared tons of snacks for them. There was no way they could fill it all up!
"Okay, then come to Aunt Yumei's house to pay New Year's greetings." Wang Xiaomei looked at Xiaohu, who had grown half a head taller, and felt a little emotional.
This little tiger has been raised by the islanders. Every time he comes here, he goes up the mountains and down the sea, running all over the island. He's gotten a lot darker than when he first came...
"Of course, of course." Little Tiger imitated his father's tone of voice. However, his father's "of course" was sometimes true and sometimes false, but his was full of sincerity!
