Su Xingran agreed to Deng Wenwen's request, and soon Deng Wenwen started eating by herself, eating very well.
Aunt Deng found it amusing to see her daughter like this. Usually at home, she was hesitant and reluctant to eat, but it seemed that Xingran was the nemesis of this girl and could keep her in check.
At the dinner table, the men ate and chatted, while Su Xingran and Deng Wenwen, the two girls, ate their own food. Aunt Deng stood nearby, occasionally serving the children some scraps. The lunch was lively and cheerful, filled with laughter…
After having tea for a while after the meal, the guests were about to take their leave. The first to leave were Uncle Zhang and the three other uncles, who gave Su Xingran and Deng Wenwen each a red envelope.
Not long after, Uncle Deng and Aunt Deng also said their goodbyes, and they gave Su Xingran a red envelope. Deng Wenwen knew she was about to part ways with Su Xingran, and her eyes reddened. She held back for a while, but the tears still flowed down, and she looked at Su Xingran with a wronged expression.
Su Xingran was also saddened. Although they hadn't spent much time together, she truly loved her cute and obedient little sister. She went over and hugged her sister. "Don't cry, sweetie. I'll come see you and play with you whenever I have the chance, okay?"
Even though the child is young, she knows that she and her sister have to be separated. "Sister, it's a promise that you'll come visit me when you have time, don't lie to Wenwen, okay? Let's pinky swear."
Su Xingran extended her pinky finger and hooked it with Deng Wenwen's, who was crying her eyes out. Okay, sister won't lie to Wenwen. Wenwen will be a good girl when she gets home.
Deng Jianjun and his wife carried their daughter, who was still reluctant to leave, onto their bicycle. The couple felt helpless; apart from the day their eldest son joined the army and cried because he was separated from his brother, their daughter had only ever cried like this with Xingran.
Master, I'm going home now. Would you like to come over for dinner tonight? Su Xingran knew that her mother was at home, so she was about to go home as well.
Xingran, your master won't be going out for dinner tonight. There are still some dishes at home, so you can just heat them up and eat them. Here, your master will give you a red envelope. Take some things home for your parents.
"No need, Master. You already gave me a red envelope last night, and there's food at home too." Su Xingran didn't want to accept so many red envelopes from her master, as it would be too much of an expense for him.
Silly girl, last night you gave me a New Year's Eve red envelope, and today you're giving me a New Year's greeting red envelope. Take it quickly, and take some of the items home with you. These were all brought by those uncles. Your master can't eat all of this by himself, so take them home for your parents.
Knowing she couldn't refuse, Su Xingran had no choice but to take it. She helped her master tidy up the stool and teacup, then said goodbye and went home.
When I got home, only my mother was there; my father hadn't returned yet. "Mom, I'm home. My master gave me some things to bring back. I said I didn't want them, but he insisted, so I had no choice but to take them home."
Your master is being too polite. He came over for New Year's Eve dinner last night and brought some gifts. Have all his guests left yet?
The guests at the master's house had lunch and tea before slowly taking their leave. Several uncles came, one of whom was Uncle Deng, the commune secretary, who came with Aunt Deng and their daughter, Deng Wenwen.
Oh, I see. How old is that girl? You two get along well? I noticed you were smiling when you talked about their daughter.
My little sister Wenwen is eight years old. She's a pretty and cute girl, and we get along well. She likes to play with me, and I even took her for a walk around the village. She loves watching the big yellow dog.
