After a while.
There was the sound of footsteps coming from inside.
Li Xiajing waited for a moment.
“Bang——”
She didn't have to wait long before Uncle Zeng came over and opened the door.
Zeng Bo saw Li Xia standing outside the door and blinked his eyes and said, "Xiao Xia, you're back. Did you have fun playing outside with Xiao Tangguo today?"
He raised his hand and greeted Li Xia.
"Well, not bad." Li Xia nodded.
"That's fine." Uncle Zeng said, "Xiao Xia, your father has already told me during the day. First of all, thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it. I have cooked for you. You can go back. I will come to your house and visit you another day when I have time."
He knew very well why Li Xia came to see him.
Zeng Bo knew that Li Xia's family had good intentions.
It's just that he has a strong personality. Even if he has to eat coarse food at home, he is not used to eating at other people's homes.
Zeng Bo has maintained this habit for decades.
No matter how good his friends are, he would never stay at someone else's house until dinner time.
When eating and drinking with friends, he always chooses to go out, to restaurants or bistros.
Li Xia persuaded him, "Uncle Zeng, my dad cooked a big meal, but we can't finish it. You can just lighten our burden and come over to eat a few bites. It won't be lively if you're alone at home. Isn't it New Year's Eve tonight? We can celebrate the New Year together. Little Candy is still thinking about Grandpa Zeng's lucky money. Uncle Zeng, if you don't go over today, I really can't explain to Little Candy."
She was afraid that Uncle Zeng would keep making excuses, so she brought up what he had said to Little Tangguo.
Zeng Bo said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Yes, I told Little Candy this myself. As adults, we must keep our promises to children and set a good example for them. Xiaoxia, wait for me. I'll go in and get a red envelope, and you can bring it to Little Candy for me."
As people get older, their memory becomes worse.
In a few days, I don’t know how I have forgotten it.
"Uncle Zeng, red envelopes are blessings for children, so there is no reason to give them on behalf of others. If you want me to bring it to Little Candy, I don't want it. If you want to give her New Year's money, you have to go up and hand it to Little Candy in person."
Li Xia didn't really say that just to ask for the red envelope from Zeng Bo.
She wanted to find an excuse to coax Uncle Zeng to her home.
Once they get upstairs, they can keep him for the New Year's Eve dinner, which will be easier than staying in this stalemate at Uncle Zeng's house.
Zeng Bo listened to Li Xia's words and thought about it for a while.
"Okay, I'll go up with you."
He really likes little Candy and treats her as his granddaughter.
This red envelope is not very important.
It just represents my best wishes to the little candy.
It's worth him handing it over to Little Candy in person.
"Uncle Zeng, is the gas in your kitchen turned off tightly?" Li Xia asked worriedly, "Let me go in and check it for you."
When she first came to Uncle Zeng's house, Li Xia smelled a strong smell of gas in his house.
For his safety.
Li Xia still felt more at ease after seeing it with her own eyes.
"I turned off the gas, but I'm not sure if it was turned off tightly. I had rhinitis when I was young, and now that I'm old, the situation has worsened. I can't smell anything. Like you said last time that you smelled a pungent smell in my house, I really didn't smell it. But after you reminded me, every time I use the gas, I will check to see if it is turned off." Uncle Zeng replied.
"It's okay, I'll go over and take a look and I'll know."
Upon hearing this, Li Xia moved his lips and spoke.
She went in and came out quickly.
Li Xia said, "Uncle Zeng, I have just checked it, there is no problem, let's go upstairs now."
"good."
Zeng Bo nodded.
The two walked towards the elevator one after the other.
When Li Xia is alone, she will choose to climb the stairs.
But Uncle Zeng is an old man, and his legs are not very strong.
For him, it was better to take the elevator.
A few minutes later.
The elevator dinged and soon arrived at the floor where Li Xia lived.
She and Uncle Zeng walked out of the elevator and arrived at their door.
"Dad, open the door, Uncle Zeng is here." Li Xia raised his hand and knocked on the door, then said to the inside.
"Lao Zeng, we have known each other for several years, but you never gave me face. Xiao Xia went downstairs and invited you up. In comparison, am I not too embarrassed?"
Li Wanshun saw Zeng Bo and deliberately joked.
Uncle Zeng asked, "I can't help it. I can't resist my niece's sweet talk. I can't argue with Xiao Xia."
He smiled and shook his head.
"Uncle Zeng, you don't need to change your shoes, just wear your shoes and go in. The floor at home has been made dirty by the little candies, and we always wear shoes when we come in. After the New Year, we can clean everything up." Li Xia said.
After hearing what Li Xia said, Zeng Bo put on his shoes and went into the house.
"Where's the little candy? Lao Li, why don't I see your little pistachio?"
The purpose of his coming here was to personally deliver the blessing to Little Candy.
Then he prepared to go back to his home.
"The little girl just woke up, and her father took her to the bathroom to wash her face." Li Wanshun replied.
Just as the two were talking about Little Candy, Shan Yilin came out of the bathroom carrying her.
"Little Candy, look, who's here to see you?" Li Xia walked up to Shan Yilin, stretched out her hand to take Little Candy from his arms, and carried her to Zeng Bo.
