Xu Ruixuan realized that he had done something wrong, and now he couldn't hold back his tears. "Wow, grandpa, I didn't mean it, little goldfish, I'm sorry."
She cried so miserably that Xu Manman, who was watching on the side, felt a little sorry for her and quickly pulled Jin Zichu out.
After all, he is his grandson. Although his education method is a bit direct, Xu Gang does not love his child unkindly.
The next day, I took my grandson to the flower, bird and fish market and brought back two turtles.
They say a thousand-year-old turtle lives for ten thousand years, so just keep this thing.
Xu Ruixuan, who got new pets, has great enthusiasm for the two turtles. The first thing he does when he wakes up every day is to run to the fish tank to say hello to the two little turtles.
However, he always remembered the "tragedy" he had committed before, asked his grandfather about the precautions for raising turtles, took notes very carefully, and did not dare to feed the turtles too much at each meal.
As the two little turtles gradually adapted to life in their new home, everyone welcomed the 2009 New Year together.
I went back to my parents’ home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Meiyu was busy packing up and preparing to return to her eldest brother's house with her son and daughter.
It has been more than ten years since I moved to Beijing, and I haven't returned to my parents' home during the New Year.
This is the first time in more than ten years, so shouldn’t it be more formal?
"Xu Jianguo, hurry up! It's been ages and you still haven't put on your coat! Manman, take that box of sea cucumbers from the kitchen. Your uncle hasn't been in good health these past two years, so it's a good opportunity to take this back and give him some nourishment.
"Old Xu! Are you okay? What took you so long to get something?"
Everyone in the room except the daughter-in-law and son-in-law was being told what to do, but that didn't mean Jin Zichu and Wang Ruxia were really capable of watching over them.
As a person, you should have good judgment, right?
Jin Zichu helped his wife take the sea cucumber down from the kitchen cabinet, and took the cigarettes, alcohol and other gift boxes that Chen Meiyu had placed on the coffee table in advance.
"Mom, I'll go outside to buy some more fruit. Take your time." He took his wife out with him.
It was a quarter of an hour later that the family officially went out.
In fact, my uncle's house is not too far away. It only takes a few minutes to ride a bike or walk for more than ten minutes, so the whole family didn't drive.
When walking on the street with bags in hand, you can say hello to everyone you know or don’t know.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year! Are you visiting relatives?"
"Yeah, back to my parents' home, are you going there to pay New Year's greetings as well?"
…
When she arrived at her uncle's house, Xu Manman's face was almost frozen from smiling.
My uncle's house was also very lively. This year, Chen Ming's family also came back, and Chen Meiyu brought back a group of people.
Fortunately, my uncle's house has a yard, otherwise the house would be too crowded to move around.
The weather was nice today, so we simply set up a table in the yard, put some sunflower seeds and snacks on it, and the adults sat together chatting while the children played by themselves.
Chen Xiaochen from Chen Ming's family considers himself to be the eldest child. Although there is a generation gap between him and the two younger ones, he still has a strong sense of responsibility and consciously takes care of his two younger brothers.
What is the most important activity when visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year?
Of course it’s playing mahjong!
This activity is simply the best way to build relationships and kill time.
Xu Gang and his uncle Chen Zhibin were playing chess on the side, while Chen Ming and Xu Jianguo stood behind their respective fathers and gave them advice.
Those who sat at the mahjong table were Chen Meiyu, her aunt Ye Rong, Zhang Wenjun and Chen Feng.
Xu Manman leaned on Jin Zichu and ate melon seeds. She found the distribution of people a bit funny.
"It looks like two Chens fighting two non-Chens, but it's actually one against three. Mom, you better take it easy today."
As the only male sitting at the mahjong table, Chen Feng was not embarrassed at all. He rubbed the mahjong tiles in his hands and said to Xu Manman with a smile,
"You're wrong. We're all discussing our own issues on the table, and we guarantee 100% fairness and justice."
"Okay, fair and square, I'll wait for whoever wins today to give me a chicken drumstick."
Ye Rong also smiled happily, "Add more! Whether you win or not, I'll add more!"
Since her son didn't have to watch it himself, Wang Ruxia moved a stool and sat next to her cousin's wife to learn the skills.
Don't be fooled by their exaggerated posture. After watching for a few times, Xu Manman found that among the four people at the table, the one who seemed to talk the least, the eldest cousin Zhang Wenjun, had the best skills.
It may seem that he is not very conspicuous, and he does not win the most times, but in fact, every win is big.
When Zhang Wenjun first met Chen Ming, he was learning the rules on the spot. After so many years, he has evolved into a master. Wang Ruxia really found the right master.
At eleven o'clock, Xu Manman replaced her aunt Ye Rong's seat, and Jin Zichu sat next to her.
