Chapter 280 Qian Baozhu’s Thoughts
"It's Old Wu. It's nothing. I just want to take a break because I'm tired."
Qian Baozhu stood up with the help of the wall and patted the dust off his butt.
He waved his hand, put it on his back, and went back to the yard.
Wu Shengli looked at Qian Baozhu, who had lost a lot of weight, shook his head and said:
"Why are they all talking nonsense every day?
I'm the only normal person in this compound!"
…
It’s rare for the Xie family of five to be together.
"Xiaotong, tomorrow your dad and I are going to take Chengzi to the Forbidden City for a walk.
I won't be back for lunch, so both of you remember to prepare something to eat."
Gao Xiulan was sitting on a chair mending clothes. She bit off the thread and an idea came to her mind.
"Okay, Mom, do you want to bring your camera? Orange hasn't taken many photos lately."
Lin Xiaotong sat beside him, flipping through a book and drawing from time to time.
Gao Xiulan felt dizzy reading this huge book.
Orange accompanied his grandfather in doing carpentry work, and at this time the grandfather and grandson were quite patient.
"Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
Orange raised her hand and asked, "Mom, I want to wear the skirt that Dad bought me tomorrow. Can I?"
"The one with the puffy skirt? Isn't that a bit too hot?"
Orange nodded, waved his hands and said, "No, no."
Xie Yi got off work early today and stood in the corridor, swinging his arms and stretching his legs.
Since I started working, I spend most of my time sitting in the office and don’t do much exercise.
Last night Xiaotong said that his stomach felt a little fatter and his abdominal muscles were not as obvious as before.
How can this be possible?
He was so scared that he stood up and exercised whenever he had time, and he was planning to pick up morning jogging again in the future.
"My daughter, when the time comes, ask your grandparents to take a few more photos of you.
When the time comes, develop them and put them in the album.
How interesting, isn't it?
Xie Yi stuck his head out and winked at his daughter.
Gao Xiulan scolded with a smile: "Hurry up and show me a great unity, kid."
Lin Xiaotong bent over with laughter and said jokingly:
"Mom, he spent all his savings on buying Orange a dress last time, and now his pockets are cleaner than Orange's face."
Orange giggled as she thought of something, pretending to cover her mouth, but it didn't help.
"What are you laughing at, girl?"
Xie Yi took a long step forward and lifted the child onto his shoulders to sit.
Orange exclaimed and quickly hugged his father's neck.
It’s amazing, I suddenly became much taller.
Xie Da Jiao sat up straight, drank a bowl of tea, and watched the children play.
"Daddy has a picture of his naked bottom!"
Orange didn't hold back his laughter, and the three adults in the room also laughed out loud.
Lin Xiaotong knew which photo her daughter was talking about, and secretly exchanged a glance with Gao Xiulan.
It was Gao Xiulan who took it out and showed it to her quietly. Chengzi accidentally saw it when she was organizing the photo album last time.
Now everyone in the family, young and old, knows about it.
"You little rascal! Who told you that? Did it come from your mother?"
Xie Yi was so angry that he ran out of the train and pulled his daughter's pigtails with his hands.
Of course he didn't dare to glare at anyone, so he could only look at his wife with grievance.
Orange turned up his nose and said proudly, "No, no, I saw it myself."
In fact, that photo was taken when Xie Yi was about four or five years old, which was Gao Xiulan’s birthday.
Xie Da Jiao took the two of them to Qianjin Photo Studio to take a photo. They went late because there were a lot of people queuing that day.
Xie Yi was so sleepy while waiting that he fell asleep on his father Xie Dajiao's back. They waited for a while before it was their family's turn.
In excitement, Xie Da Jiao quickened his pace, and before he knew it, Xie Yi was about to slip off his back.
Xie Da Jiao was so frightened that she was in a panic and grabbed Xie Yi's butt with her backhand.
Gao Xiulan was quick-witted and quick-handed. She grabbed his cotton vest and lifted it up.
Xie Yi woke up in fright, his calves twitching a few times, his face bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
His collar was grabbed by his mother, and his pants were pulled down by his father, revealing two round buttocks.
When Master Gao from the photo studio saw the funny picture of the family of three, he shook his beard and pressed the shutter.
This naked photo that made Xie Yi regret and made his whole family happy was created.
"Then Daddy still has to praise you, right?"
Xie Yi pretended to grit his teeth and pinched Chengzi's nose.
"That's not necessary. Just praise Mom. I'll follow Mom."
Chengzi's round eyes rolled around and he stretched out his hand to touch Lin Xiaotong.
"You're such a clever kid. You just take after your mom if she's smart. But what about grandpa and grandma?"
It’s obvious at first glance that the adults are setting a trap for the children.
"Grandpa, of course, takes after Grandma, and Grandma follows...her heart!"
"You really don't offend anyone."
Xie Yi ran around the room carrying oranges, stopping from time to time to shake hands with the other three people, making it like a meeting.
Orange's little face was red as she smiled.
"Look at what you've done. You're sweating all over again."
After the father and daughter took a break, Orange sat down and sipped boiled water. The sweat on her forehead stuck her hair together.
Lin Xiaotong took a towel and wiped her daughter's face.
Xie Yi sat on the doorstep and touched his nose guiltily.
Orange also has the same action.
Xie Da Jiao glanced at the time and said, "It's already this late, maybe we can have dinner."
"Let's just eat some noodles with soybean paste. I'll go cut some cucumber shreds."
Xie Yi stood up, patted his butt, and slipped into the kitchen. He seemed to have fallen in love with cooking recently.
"Mom, I'll go take a look too."
Lin Xiaotong also followed him to the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to fry the topping.
Orange didn't follow them. He sat at the door of the main room, closing his eyes and enjoying the breeze.
Gao Xiulan and Xie Dajiao looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Even though they are already parents, they are still so lively.
"Xiu Lan, do you think I can take these with me tomorrow?"
Xie Da Jiao placed a row of woodworking gadgets on the ground like he was presenting treasures.
This is his latest masterpiece.
Don’t be fooled by its appearance, it’s actually quite fun to play.
Gao Xiulan's mouth twitched as she said:
"So you're still carrying a table over here?"
"Xiu Lan, I've thought it through. Look, this table can be folded.
There's a crack in the middle, so I can just carry it with me tomorrow."
Xie Da Jiao put away all the things like a treasure. Everything was ready and he was just waiting to go out tomorrow.
Gao Xiulan touched her chin, thought about her own small business, and made a decision.
"Then I'll roast some more melon seeds tonight and bring them with me tomorrow."
"Dad, Mom, Orange, wash your hands and have dinner!"
The waiter Lin Xiaotong came out in a hurry with a rag in her hand and a plate of freshly fried vegetables.
"Let's go wash our hands."
"Son, cut another plate of tomatoes and sprinkle a little sugar on them."
"Okay~"
…
In the Qian family in the north, Yu Afen has recently felt that something is not right with her man, who always sits alone in a daze.
He was also restless when he slept at night, tossing and turning all the time, which made her unable to sleep at all.
He got up and sat down, then said to Qian Baozhu, "Old Qian, what's wrong with you lately? Did something happen at the restaurant?"
Qian Baozhu's rolling body froze, he wiped his eyes, turned around, climbed up, and hung his head.
I felt anxious and embarrassed to speak.
"Afen, I'm having a hard time working at the restaurant this year. I don't even want to cook there."
Yu Afen felt sorry for her man, so she held his hand and comforted him.
"Old Qian, are you irritated by the new leader?"
Qian Baozhu felt a lump in his throat and couldn't help but feel his eyes turn red.
He moved forward, hugged his wife, and began to complain.
"Ah Fen, that person keeps causing trouble every day, insisting on making all sorts of weird dishes.
He also asked me to cook according to his menu, otherwise his salary would be deducted.
I really can't stand it anymore. Aunt Huang from the restaurant couldn't stand it anymore and left last week."
"If it's really hard, let's move to another place. Our two daughters are grown up, have families, and earn salaries. We don't have to worry about them anymore.
You don't have to worry like before. You have a high salary and your family has saved a lot of money over the years.
Lao Qian, just do whatever you want, I'll always be behind you."
