Yan Xiaonan helped her grandmother into the house: "Grandma, you should wear new clothes from head to toe today. Why don't you try them on to see if they fit?"
Grandma Yan nodded, genuinely curious to see what she would look like dressed in new clothes from head to toe.
Cuihua and Xuemei, the two sisters-in-law, quickly took the coat, sweater, and trousers inside. Grandma Yan put on the cardigan that Nannan had made first. She guessed that the little girl's buttons hadn't been sewn on properly, and the clothes were a little uneven, but that was a minor matter and could be fixed tomorrow.
Then I put on the sweater and woolen pants that my son and daughter-in-law gave me. They were indeed made of pure wool. As soon as I put them on, I felt warm all over and could move freely. Unlike wearing a big cotton-padded coat, I couldn't even hold a teapot.
She put on a padded jacket and trousers, then a coat. But no, she couldn't button the coat. Yan Xiaonan covered her mouth, wanting to laugh: "Grandma, you can't wear a padded jacket with a coat, or you'll turn into a silkworm!"
Liu Jin mimicked the words, saying, "Grandma is a silkworm, Grandma is a silkworm." Xue Mei quickly picked Liu Jin up and asked, "Is it Great-Grandma? Do you remember?"
Grandma Yan touched Liu Jin's face, then stood in front of a slightly freckled mirror and looked at herself. She thought she looked fatter, so she quickly called Yan Xiaonan over: "My dear, do you think I've gained weight?"
"Grandma, you'll definitely look fat wearing so many clothes. Just take off one more layer." Yan Xiaonan absolutely adored her grandma.
Grandma Yan understood. She took off her padded jacket and trousers and put on her overcoat. This time, she buttoned it up, but the feeling in front of the mirror was just not right. It was as if something was missing.
Yan Xiaonan looked her up and down, and finally realized what was wrong: "Grandma, you're wearing wool pants. You should change into a pair of fabric pants, put on some leather shoes, and tidy your hair up. Then you'll be a great beauty."
Grandma Yan picked up her pipe from the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and gently tapped Yan Xiaonan's bottom: "Your grandma's going to turn into an old witch." Yan Xiaonan hugged Grandma Yan's neck: "Grandma, I promise you'll have new clothes every single day of the year from now on."
Grandma Yan patted her precious child's back: "Wait, Grandma is going to become an old witch who changes her clothes every day."
Everyone burst into laughter, marveling at how well the grandfather and grandson got along.
Yan Xiaoqiang took out a bottle of Lao Baigan, the best liquor in town. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough liquor coupons, so he could only buy three bottles: "Mom, today is your and Bao Nannan's birthday. How about we drink one bottle on New Year's Eve, one bottle on the second day of the Lunar New Year when your father-in-law comes over?"
Grandma Yan nodded, "Okay, let's celebrate the New Year happily."
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. It was already the coldest time of winter, and the mountains had long been blocked by snow. Yan Xiaonan was worried about Zhong Nan and the others, so he extended his consciousness into Mushroom Mountain. By the hot spring, Zhong Nan was sleeping with his wolf wife and wolf cubs.
Tiger King was eating roe deer meat on the other side. This big guy just loves to eat roe deer meat. Sensing Yan Xiaonan's presence, all the furry kids raised their heads and their noses were twitching.
Tiger King twitched his nose and looked around, but Yan Xiaonan didn't appear. He couldn't help but get angry and let out a roar that echoed through the sky. "If you're not coming, then don't come. Don't disturb my meal, you bad guy."
Zhongnan looked in the direction of Mushroom Village and suddenly missed the days he lived in the Yan family's house. He whispered a few words to his wife and then ran down the mountain.
I caught a fat rabbit from a cave. When visiting someone's home for the New Year, you should bring some gifts, right? Don't underestimate me just because I'm a wolf; I still know how to be polite.
As soon as they approached the courtyard, Zhongzi started barking like a madman. Yan Xiaonan knew that Zhongnan had arrived and was overjoyed. She quickly stopped Zhongzi, saying, "You scumbag dog, you're just like your father!"
Central South
Zhongnan crawled in through the dog hole. Yan Xiaonan had already opened the door to the main room. Upon seeing Yan Xiaonan, Zhongnan put down the rabbit in his mouth and pounced over. The two of them hugged tightly.
Zhongnan whimpered in Yan Xiaonan's ear, and Yan Xiaonan hugged Zhongnan even tighter. It turned out that Zhongnan told Yan Xiaonan that he and Tiger King had caught a lot of pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, and were just waiting for Xiaonan to come and see them. She could catch whichever one she liked.
Cuihua and the others also came out of the main room. They were overjoyed to see Zhongnan, after all, he had grown up in their home and lived with them for so many years, just like their own family.
Seeing everyone caring for and doting on Zhongnan, Zhongzi's jealousy surged. With a roar, he charged forward and bit Zhongnan's neck. Just a second ago, Zhongnan was being affectionate with Yan Xiaonan, but the next second he retaliated and bit Zhongzi's neck.
Everyone was stunned. Zhongzi was bitten by Zhongnan and screamed in pain, but Zhongnan just wouldn't let go. You little rascal, you even dare to bite your own father. Like mother, like son, you're so awful.
Yan Xiaonan's longing for Zhongnan was immediately extinguished by Zhongnan's thought. What does it mean to say that like mother, like son? You're a scumbag yourself, and you're blaming your scumbag son on his mother. You deserve a beating.
Zhongnan keenly sensed the anger in Yan Xiaonan's heart, and quickly let go of Zhongzi. He squatted down next to Yan Xiaonan and hugged his head. Seeing this action, Yan Xiaonan's heart softened. No matter how high he raised his fist, it was useless. He couldn't bear to hit him anymore.
Grandma Yan called from the doorway of the main room, "Come in, everyone, it's too cold outside."
At this moment, everyone felt a chill and hurriedly ran into the house. Zhongnan and Zhongzi also ran in, and Zhongzi didn't forget to pick up the fat rabbit on the ground.
He placed the fat rabbit in front of Xue Mei, turned around and left. Xue Mei looked at the fat rabbit in front of her and wondered why it was placed in front of her. Zhongzi glanced at Xue Mei and said, "Aren't you the cook?"
That look made everyone instantly understand its meaning. Everyone smiled and shook their heads. Although Neutron was a dog, he was definitely a top-quality dog.
Zhongnan glanced at Zhongzi and thought, "Thank goodness, he's not completely stupid. He can barely be my son." Zhongzi snorted and said, "How rare."
Night had fallen, the lights in the Yan family's house were off, and everyone was quietly asleep. Zhongnan and Zhongzi were both keeping watch by Nannan's kang (heated brick bed). The father and son were finally able to stay together peacefully.
As dawn broke, Zhongnan nuzzled Zhongzi with his head, then rubbed against Yan Xiaonan, ran to the door of the main room, stood up, opened the door with his mouth, and crawled out through the dog hole. He was going back to the mountain.
As Zhongzi watched Zhongnan leave, tears welled up in his eyes. He knew that his wolf father had finally accepted him. When the weather warmed up, he would definitely have Nannan take him into the mountains to learn from his wolf father.
He turned and went into the main room, went behind the door, stood up, closed the door, and returned to Yan Xiaonan's bedside. Yan Xiaonan's consciousness had been following the two of them. Seeing this result, Yan Xiaonan was very happy. The bed was so comfortable that she fell asleep again without realizing it.
