Li Chu and Xu Damao arrived at the Intermediate People's Court together.
"Zhu Zi, are you home?"
"Yes, who is it?" The door opened as He Yuzhu's voice came from inside.
"Oh, it's Xiao Chu. When did you arrive? Come in quickly."
He Yuzhu warmly invited Li Chu into the house, but when he saw Xu Damao next to him, his face immediately fell: "Silly Damao, what are you doing here?"
"Silly Zhu, I came here with Brother Chu. Do you think I came here willingly?"
"That's perfect. I don't welcome newcomers here. I can take care of Xiao Chu, so you don't need to come in."
These two really do bicker whenever they meet. Li Chu said with amusement, "Alright, you two, how old are you? You're still arguing like children."
"Hmph, I'll let you off the hook today for Xiao Chu's sake."
The moment Li Chu stepped into He Yuzhu's house, he felt several pairs of eyes turn to him.
After entering, I casually glanced back and saw shadowy figures in the windows of the Jia family's house, the same in the eldest uncle's house, and several other households in the middle courtyard, all looking in this direction.
This He Yuzhu has really captured the hearts of many people!
Once inside, Li Chu didn't linger. He got straight to the point, and He Yuzhu readily agreed, setting a meeting place for the next afternoon.
————————
"Wow, the snow is so heavy this year!"
The heavy snow has been falling for two days, and the snow on the road is at least ten centimeters thick.
I put the breakfast I bought on the radiator, then stood outside the living room and brushed the snow off my body.
After taking off his coat and hanging it on the hanger, Li Chu walked to the bedroom door and glanced inside.
"Hey, these three, still can't get out of bed."
She tiptoed to the bedside, and the one adult and two children on the bed suddenly opened their eyes and exclaimed "Ha!"
To be honest, it really scared Li Chu; the mother and her two children were so convincingly pretending to be asleep.
"Fine, you three dare to scare me? I'll make you freeze!"
As he spoke, Li Chu slipped his hand into Ding Qiunan's blanket.
"Ah... Li Chu, Bing is dead, take it out quickly."
The two little ones were lying next to me, giggling.
"You two are still laughing! You scared me earlier, and now I'm coming!"
"Oh, Dad, Mom told us to pretend to be asleep so she wouldn't chill me."
Xiao Wenhui immediately betrayed her mother and tried to hide away, but because she and Wenxuan were both in sleeping bags, they couldn't run away and could only roll around on the bed.
Suddenly, shouts and happy laughter filled the bedroom.
After a while of fussing, Li Chu finally brought Xiao Wenhui over and dressed her properly.
She dressed Xiao Wenxuan as well, and as soon as he was put on the ground, Xiao Wenhui grabbed his hand and ran outside: "Little brother, come on, let's go out and play in the snow."
"You two, don't get your clothes wet again!" Ding Qiunan shouted from under the covers.
"Okay, Mom."
After the children left, Li Chu lowered his head and kissed his wife's lips: "Get up, darling, do you want me to dress you too?"
"Okay, help me get dressed," Ding Qiunan said sweetly, stretching her arms out from under the covers.
"Okay, I'll let you wear it too."
Li Chu affectionately flicked her nose.
She said she wanted her husband to help her put on the clothes, but after being pulled up, Ding Qiunan took the underwear and put it on herself.
After getting dressed and walking into the living room, I found the two children already playing in the yard, rolling snowballs.
Ding Qiunan patted her forehead. Oh well, she'd have to change her clothes again soon.
Seeing his wife's actions, Li Chu knew what she was thinking. He went over and hugged her from behind, saying, "She's just a child, it's okay. She can change again in a bit."
"You just spoil them both all day long."
Leaning against her husband's chest, Ding Qiunan said irritably.
"Who said I only spoiled those two? I spoiled you too, okay?"
"Hmph, get out of my way, let me go wash up." Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at him.
After setting breakfast on the table and preparing the formula, Li Chu went out into the yard and picked up the two children, one in each arm, and brought them back.
They took off their outer clothes, then went to the bathroom to wash their faces and hands, and came out to eat.
"Li Chu, will we get a five-day holiday for Chinese New Year this year?"
"Yeah, but it seems you have to work a full day, right?"
"How about we work on the same day, on the third day of junior high?"
Li Chu shrugged: "I don't care, any day is fine."
"Sigh," Ding Qiunan suddenly sighed, "My parents aren't coming over for the New Year this year either."
Li Chu handed each of the two children a meat bun, and took one for himself to eat: "Your younger brother is spending the New Year at home this year, so they definitely won't be coming over."
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang took Li Qiaoyun and the child to Wang Jun's military unit to spend the New Year with him.
This year, only their family and their sister's family are left.
"Li Chu, let's invite Jiang Li over too, so she can celebrate the New Year with us!"
"You can try, but I don't think she'll come."
Ding Qiunan looked at the heavy snow outside again: "I don't know when this snow will stop. It's so heavy, it's inconvenient to do anything."
"Mom, snow is fun."
"Hmm, it's fun. But you can't play in the snow after you finish eating and put on clean clothes, otherwise your clothes will get wet and there won't be any to change into at the daycare."
"Mom, I'll keep an eye on my sister and make sure she doesn't play in the snow."
"Hehehe..." Xiao Wenhui stuck out her tongue at her younger brother in dissatisfaction.
"Dad, why won't the three dogs eat the food that my brother and I feed them?"
Strangely enough, the three dogs stayed with the two children the whole time, and they seemed very close, but they wouldn't eat a single bite of anything the children fed them.
For example, right now, Xiao Wenhui broke off a piece of the steamed bun in her hand to feed them, but none of the three dogs would eat it, and they wouldn't eat it even if she threw it on the ground.
But whether it was Li Chu or Ding Qiunan, as long as they picked up the buns from the ground and fed them again, the animals would eat them.
Li Chu couldn't explain why this happened.
"Hmm...you're too small. We'll feed them when you're older, and then they'll eat."
"Dad, is it okay when I'm your age?"
"That's right," he said, not really knowing how to explain it, so he just tried to fool the child.
After finishing her meal, Ding Qiunan took out two clean sets of clothes from the closet, dressed the child, and wrapped him up tightly.
Then he wrapped himself up tightly as well.
Once everything was in order, Li Chu picked up the two children.
The snow was heavy and the ground was slippery, so he had been carrying the child by himself for the past two days.
Ding Qiunan, on the other hand, walked slowly, holding her husband's arm.
People on the road were walking with uneven steps, and they could easily slip and fall flat on their faces.
No one was riding bikes on the road anymore, and the buses were moving slowly, probably not as fast as pedestrians.
It usually only takes a few minutes to walk to the hospital, but today it took me more than ten minutes to get there.
