Chapter 120 Daily Life
She had several dreams that night, tossing and turning, feeling like she was in a war, which was very exhausting.
So much so that when I woke up in the morning, my head was dizzy.
When I opened one eye, I saw a magnified version of his handsome face.
When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse: "What time is it?"
"Wife, you're awake. It's only eight o'clock. Come and drink some water to moisten your throat."
Xie Yi felt a little guilty when he saw Lin Xiaotong, whose lips were chapped and whose voice was hoarse.
He gently helped Lin Xiaotong up and let her lean on his arms, then picked up a cup of warm water and handed it to her mouth.
Lin Xiaotong took a few sips and her throat felt better. She leaned against the head of the bed and glanced out the window.
Outside the yard, the aunts were talking in a lively atmosphere, occasionally there were the sounds of firecrackers and children's screams.
"Uncle, you're such a grown-up, and you're still trying to snatch firecrackers from us kids. How can you justify that?"
"Tiger Head, didn't you just insist on dragging me to play with you?"
"But you can't throw away the whole box, right? This is what Grandpa bought for me last time. I can't bear to throw away so many at once."
"You don't understand, what's the fun of setting them off one by one? Look at me, a double bang!"
There was another burst of crackling firecrackers.
"Grandpa, look at my uncle, most of my firecrackers are gone in a short while."
"You are such a grown-up, but your skill in setting off fireworks is so poor. Go away and watch me."
"Look carefully, let's all learn from it, bang——"
"Old Zhou, my God, what's the matter with you so early in the morning? Sparks almost jumped on my pants, and these are new pants!"
"Old Wu, I'm so sorry, your pants look really good."
"That's what my husband made specially for me."
"Hey, son! Don't throw firecrackers at your own father's head."
It was bustling outside and warm inside the house.
Xie Yi picked up the thermos on the table, poured some hot water into the large flower basin, and put the towel in to soak it.
After wringing the sweat out with his big hands, he sat on the edge of the bed and carefully wiped the sweat from Lin Xiaotong's forehead and neck.
Lin Xiaotong was enjoying Xie Yi's attentive service. Suddenly, she thought of something and said something to Xie Yi who was wiping her face carefully.
"When will you go back this time?"
"It's still early. I have a few more days off this time, but I don't have much time off after the New Year."
"By the way, where do you want to go in a few days? Let's go by bike."
Lin Xiaotong felt that her legs were weak now, so she had no time to think about these things.
"Let's take a break today. We'll stay home and spend time with our parents."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
"I helped make the pancakes this morning. Do you want to get up and eat them now? They taste pretty good to me."
"Really? Then I must try it. By the way, are my parents home?"
"He's not here. He went to visit someone early this morning."
…
During lunch, Gao Xiulan glanced at Xie Yi and said, "Son, what good thing happened to you? Tell me, why are you grinning like that?"
After hearing this, Xie Da Jiao, who was eating with her head down, looked up at Xie Yi.
Lin Xiaotong was drinking soup with her head down, and when she heard this, she looked up at Xie Yi.
"Mom, what you said, then I am not happy about the New Year?"
Xie Yi, who was suddenly stared at by three pairs of eyes, opened his mouth and made a joke.
"I think he's happy to have braised pork for lunch!"
Xie Da Jiao looked at the three pieces of braised pork in Xie Yi's bowl and said slowly.
"Dad, you're such a fool! If you want to eat meat, your son will pick a piece for you!"
Xie Yi glanced at Lin Xiaotong who was sitting next to him, with a smile on his face.
"You kid, you don't need to clamp it for me, I have your mother to clamp it for me."
Xie Da Jiao said this while stretching out the bowl very quickly with a smile on her face.
The whole Xie family was having a happy meal together.
The Xia family, separated by a wall, was already shrouded in dark clouds before the New Year was even over.
