The cabin was cramped and shaky. Ye Zhi had been resting with her eyes closed. When she was drowsy, she vaguely heard Ye Xiaoding and Lu Wei talking.
She knew that Ye Xiaoding started to behave strangely after Ye Zhenhua was found.
Ye Xiaoding has become lively since coming to Qiongzhou Island. Although he still jumps up and down sometimes, he is much more well-behaved than Chen Zhian next door. When he sees the aunties in the family compound, he will take the initiative to call them. Many people say that this child is polite.
However, Lu Wei once told her that after seeing Ye Zhenhua, Ye Xiaoding ran directly to He Jinfeng's house next door without even calling Ye Zhenhua.
I basically stayed at He Jinfeng's house for the next two days.
Ye Zhenhua was not the kind of person who was good at speaking, especially with children, and he never had any chance to spend time with them, so he was often silent when talking to Ye Xiaoding.
Ye Zhi could understand it, after all, the two of them had never gotten along with each other.
But why did Ye Xiaoding suddenly say such a thing?
Before she could say anything, Lu Wei, who was sitting next to her, suddenly stretched out his arms, put them around Ye Xiaoding, and easily pulled his small body towards him.
He lowered his voice and said, "You little bastard, which ear of yours heard me say I don't want you anymore?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoding's eyes lit up in the darkness. He stammered, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Then, Ye Zhi, who was on Lu Wei's right, reached out and hugged Lu Wei, and then hugged Ye Xiaoding, who was on Lu Wei's right, and whispered, "Silly child, your uncle didn't abandon you, and your aunt won't abandon you either."
This silly child, how could he have such an idea?
Could it be that because Ye Zhenhua came back, he thought they would definitely send him away and let Ye Zhenhua take care of him?
Although they have recognized each other as father and son, they have not yet established a relationship of mutual trust, not to mention that Ye Zhenhua has not yet fully recovered his memory.
Furthermore, Ye Xiaoding now shows some resistance and doesn't really want to be with Ye Zhenhua.
Ye Zhi would definitely not let Ye Zhenhua take Xiao Ding away so rashly. At least she would have to wait until Ye Xiaoding was willing.
Ye Xiaoding is eight years old now, and at this age he already has his own ideas, so Ye Zhi is willing to wait until he is willing before letting him live with Ye Zhenhua.
Ye Xiaoding listened to Ye Zhi, sniffed stupidly, and then said: "I thought..."
Before he could finish, Ye Zhi stretched out her finger, touched Ye Xiaoding's little face, and said, "You think your aunt and uncle are going to send you back to Xitang Town, right?"
This little guy is so smart.
Although he doesn't say anything on the surface, he is actually very sensitive.
Ye Xiaoding has already changed a lot. If this matter is not handled properly and he becomes the same person he used to be, then all the efforts she and Lu Wei have made over the past two years will be in vain.
However, the fact that Ye Xiaoding is now willing to speak out his inner thoughts also means that he has changed.
He also began to rely on Lu Wei.
This proves that Ye Xiaoding has already regarded Lu Wei as someone close to him.
In fact, Ye Xiaoding often liked to act coquettishly with Ye Zhi. He would always hug her thighs or arms, but he had never taken the initiative to hug Lu Wei.
Sometimes, if Ye Xiaoding happened to run into Lu Wei when he was acting coquettishly towards Ye Zhi, he would immediately let go of Ye Zhi, for fear that Lu Wei would dislike him.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Ye Xiaoding actually relied on Lu Wei first.
Ye Zhi began to reflect on whether she had done something that made Ye Xiaoding feel that they would no longer want him.
On the other end, Ye Xiaoding wiped away her tears in the dim light, hugged Lu Wei's arms tighter, and uttered "hmm" in a muffled voice as a response to Ye Zhi's previous question.
Lu Wei, who was standing between Ye Zhi and Ye Xiaoding, sneered and said, "You little brat, aren't we going back together to celebrate the New Year? What are you thinking about? We're going back to Qiongzhou Island after the New Year, and you still have to go to school!"
Don’t say that Ye Xiaoding is unwilling.
Ye Zhenhua's condition has not yet stabilized. In addition to continuing to receive treatment, he has not yet decided whether to go to college or continue to stay in the army.
If Ye Zhenhua chose to go to college first, it would probably be inconvenient to bring Ye Xiaoding with him.
If he stayed in the army, Lu Wei would definitely let Ye Zhenhua stay in the army on the island. Then no matter who Ye Xiaoding lived with, there would be someone to take care of him.
Ye Zhi smiled, patted Ye Xiaoding's head, and said, "Silly child, your uncle and I respect your opinion. When the day comes when you want to live with your father, your aunt and uncle will not stop you."
It's a good thing that Ye Xiaoding has his own ideas. There is no rush about this matter, as blood ties cannot be changed.
When the day comes that Ye Xiaoding himself says he is willing, then let the father and son live together.
Now that Ye Xiaoding is unwilling, Ye Zhi will not force him.
Ye Xiaoding heard this and hugged the hand that Ye Zhi extended to him, and whispered, "I want to be with my aunt, uncle, and brother."
Hearing this, Lu Wei couldn't help but pull a handful of Ye Xiaoding's short hair and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll let you stay in my household registration book."
Ye Zhi touched Ye Xiaoding's arm with concern and said with a smile: "Silly child, get some sleep. We won't reach Yangcheng until dawn."
"Well, then I'll go to sleep." Ye Xiaoding's mood was completely different now. He could finally have a good sleep.
He yawned, then slowly closed his eyes next to Lu Wei.
In the darkness, Lu Wei noticed a figure moving opposite him, but he didn't speak.
Because it was the end of the year, an additional ship was added between Yangcheng and Qiongzhou Island. There were so many people on the dock that they were like sardines, packed densely together.
When they arrived in Yangcheng, Ye Zhi and Lu Wei each carried a child out of the cabin, and Shen Nanzhen had sent someone to pick them up.
Ye Zhi went to the staff quarters with Zhang Xiaomei, Ye Aiguo and several other children first.
In order to save time, Lu Wei and Ye Zhenhua got off the car at the gate of the military hospital and planned to go to the hospital first.
Ye Zhenhua stood at the hospital gate and watched the car go away. Suddenly, he looked at Lu Wei silently and said, "Lu Wei, thank you."
Ye Zhenhua actually heard the conversation between Ye Xiaoding and them last night. He actually wanted to say something to Ye Xiaoding. He didn't really want Ye Xiaoding to follow him. It was just that now that he was back and Ye Xiaoding had a father, it would be a bit inconvenient for her to continue living in Lu Wei's house. So he had planned to take advantage of this trip back to Xitang Town to see if Ye Xiaoding was willing to come back here, or follow him to college.
But he didn't think that Ye Xiaoding was actually unwilling to do so.
Lu Wei turned his head and glanced at Ye Zhenhua, and said, "I'm not doing this for you."
Ye Zhenhua nodded. He knew, of course, that Lu Wei was not doing this for him.
He lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the tip of his shoes, and said slowly: "For Xiao Ding, I am willing to spend time to slowly give him a sense of security, but now is not the most appropriate time. Xiao Ding is also quite resistant to me, so I have to trouble you to help me take care of him."
After listening to their words last night, Ye Zhenhua made a decision. He decided to accept the organization's recommendation for a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and study at an agricultural research institute on Qiongzhou Island. Not only would he learn knowledge and be able to serve the island in the future, he would also not miss out on Ye Xiaoding's growth.
Since Ye Xiaoding is unwilling to follow him now, he can only trouble Lu Wei and Ye Zhi first.
Ye Zhenhua thought for a moment and said, "I will be responsible for Xiao Ding's living expenses in the future. If you have any other requests, you can tell me."
As long as he can do it, he will go through fire and water.
Lu Wei was silent for a moment, looked over, and then said: "Come and play with him when you are free. If you want him to be close to you, there is no other way except to accompany him." After that, Lu Wei took the lead and walked towards the hospital.
Ye Zhenhua looked at his brother-in-law's back and felt deeply that Lu Wei still had a good face when he was facing Ye Zhi.
The rest of the time, no one is given face.
Oh, and his parents...
Lu Wei and Ye Zhenhua on the other side went to the hospital, while Ye Zhi, Zhang Xiaomei and Ye Aiguo on this side went to Shen Nanzhen's family compound.
After washing up, Aunt Chen knew that they had to go back to Xitang Town, so she took them to a state-owned store, because Ye Zhi said she wanted to buy two new clothes for them, and by the way, she also wanted to talk to the person in charge of the clothing factory about new clothes for the next season.
They are already very familiar with this place and came here twice last year.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoding was not as dejected as he was on the boat. He ran around the store, planning to use the red envelopes he had saved up last year to buy some small gifts for his brothers and sisters in Xitang Town, especially spinning tops, which were most suitable for boys to play with.
As for her older sister and younger sister, Ye Xiaoding planned to buy them flowery rubber bands and hairpins.
At first, Ye Aiguo didn't know that Ye Zhi was going to buy him some clothes, and he came to the state-owned store happily. After arriving, Ye Zhi insisted that he try on clothes. Ye Aiguo was reluctant to let his daughter spend money, so he took Ye Xiaoding to buy toys.
Ye Zhi ignored him. Fortunately, her mother Zhang Xiaomei knew what size clothes her father wore, so she bought two cotton jackets and a sweater at once.
Originally, Zhang Xiaomei didn't want it, but after Luo Chunyan from the state-owned store talked a lot, Zhang Xiaomei couldn't help but buy a cotton jacket, still feeling sorry for the money.
Luo Chunyan said, "Don't worry, Sister Zhang. Comrade Ye is now a big star in the garment factory, and the price we give you is also calculated based on the employee discount."
Zhang Xiaomei was relieved when she heard this and said, "That's good. This is just a waste of money for young people!"
Luo Chunyan smiled and said, "How could that be? The child is just being filial to you."
Zhang Xiaomei pursed her lips and smiled, "That's true. When I'm old and frumpy, I probably won't wear colorful clothes like this anymore. I'll wear them for a few more years while I'm still young and frumpy."
Luo Chunyan looked at Zhang Xiaomei's face and said, "You have the same fair skin as Xiaoye, and you look much younger. You are just getting started now!"
After being praised like this, Zhang Xiaomei smiled and bought another sweater with her own money.
Because Xitang Town is different from Qiongzhou Island, the winter in Xitang Town is very cold and it even snows. Although it doesn’t snow heavily, the temperature is low, so cotton-padded jackets and sweaters are a must.
After Ye Zhi bought clothes for her parents, she also bought a black coat for Lu Wei. Lu Wei is tall, so he must look very handsome in the coat.
In addition, winter clothes for the two children were not prepared in advance.
So we bought them directly in the store, and when we came out of the store, several people were carrying large bags.
Ye Aiguo was carrying the biggest bag, but he didn't seem happy at all. He even muttered to Zhang Xiaomei, who was smiling brightly beside him, "Look at you, why don't you organize your daughter to buy so many things? How can we still have enough to eat after the New Year?"
Ye Aiguo was originally worried that Lu Wei was the only one making money now, and that he shouldn't have much pressure to support his wife and children. But now he actually bought so many clothes for the two old guys. If Lu Wei knew about it, he didn't know if he would dislike that their family was vampires!
Zhang Xiaomei glared at him and then scolded him, "How can you talk like that? What do you mean by not being able to make ends meet? You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!"
However, Zhang Xiaomei was still a little panicked. After all, it had been decades and she had never been so extravagant.
It’s all because I couldn’t help myself and bought two pieces of clothing at once. My heart is bleeding right now.
Ye Zhi listened to the conversation between the two elders, turned around with a smile, looked at them, and then said: "Dad, Mom, didn't you see me talking to a manager just now? Your daughter can make money sitting at home now! Don't worry, the clothes you bought also have employee discount prices, your daughter can still afford this money."
Ye Aiguo was a little skeptical, and then asked, "Really?"
Ye Zhi nodded: "Of course it's true! I can earn back the money I earned from the clothes you bought just by drawing a picture, so don't worry."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaomei whispered a price in Ye Aiguo's ear, and then she felt relieved.
Ye Aiguo was stunned, and then asked Ye Zhi: "My daughter, you can make so much money with just one picture, why don't you let Dad try it too."
Ye Zhi and Zhang Xiaomei couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Zhang Xiaomei said, "You stinky old man, you can't even look at your own handwriting, and you're still thinking about drawing pictures of clothes! You're just daydreaming!"
Ye Aiguo touched the back of his head and said, "Why not give it a try? It won't hurt you anyway. Maybe they don't understand it either."
Zhang Xiaomei: “…”
After buying things, a few people went to the place where side dishes were sold, chatting and laughing, preparing to buy some seasonings and candied melon snacks to take back.
That night, Ye Zhi's parents had dinner with Lu Wei's mother and got to know each other briefly. They had to catch the train the next day.
Because it is close to the Spring Festival, the train station is crowded every day. Ye Zhi and Lu Wei also want to come back here early after the New Year. As the weather in Xitang Town is cold, they don’t know if the two little ones can adapt to it.
The train slowly headed north and the weather was getting colder. There was no heating or air conditioning in the carriage, and sometimes the smell was a bit unpleasant after being stuffy for too long.
However, it would be cold if the windows were opened, so Ye Zhi and the others would frequently open and close the windows to ventilate the room.
After a day and a night of train travel, the train finally stopped in the county town. It was still snowing outside, and the stones along the train tracks were covered with a layer of snow.
Now, the cotton-padded jackets and overcoats they bought finally came in handy.
Ye Zhi and Lu Wei had dressed the two children in sweaters and cotton jackets early on, then carried them in front of them and wrapped them with a small quilt to ensure that they would not get cold.
But the two little guys didn't seem to feel cold at all. They stared with their bright black eyes, looking here and wanting to touch there, and were extremely excited.
Especially when he saw snow falling from the sky, the little guy became even more excited, shaking his hands and feet, as if shouting: Put me down, I want to play!
Ye Xiaoding looked at the snow falling from the sky and said, "I haven't seen snow for a long time. I'm going to make a snowman when I go back!"
Ye Zhi remembered that after the Chinese New Year last year, Ye Xiaoding went to the beach to build sand castles with others because he had no chance to play in the snow. This year he will probably have something to play with. For children, both snow and sand are fun things to play with.
Ye Zhenhua, who was standing next to Ye Xiaoding, paused for a moment and then asked, "Xiaoding, can I join you?"
Ye Xiaoding met Ye Zhenhua's eyes, was stunned for several seconds, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's pile together."
Zhang Xiaomei smiled and said, "How can we make a snowman with this little snow?"
Every Chinese New Year, children always love to make snowmen. However, because there is a lot of snow, the children shovel snow here and there, all from the mud, so inevitably some mud is mixed in, making the snowmen dirty, and the snowmen are all pitch black.
Adults all dislike it, only children love to play it.
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Then make a smaller one and have fun." After that, Ye Zhi looked at Lu Wei beside her and asked, "What about you? Didn't you love snowball fights when you were a kid? Do you want to play with us later?"
Hearing this, Lu Wei smacked his lips and turned his face away, saying only: "How old am I? Is it possible that I can still play such a childish game?"
Ye Zhi smiled and said to him: "I brought a camera with me. I will take a picture of you later."
Lu Wei turned his face away and then said, "What's the point if you can't play with the child?"
Ye Zhi laughed when she heard this. She said, “We’ll know whether you want to play or not soon. You’re still being stubborn!”
The group dressed neatly and wrapped themselves tightly, then went to a bus station near the train station to wait for the bus back to town.
After getting on the car, Ye Zhi looked around while chatting with Lu Wei.
Although I have been away for more than a year, not much has changed here.
However, when we arrived at Xitang Town, there were already many brick and tile houses in the town, and the roofs were covered with a layer of white snow, which was very artistic. Because it had snowed, there was a layer of snow on the ground.
Because there are not as many people here as at the train station, the snow here is much more than in the county town. It is a vast expanse of white and looks very beautiful.
All of a sudden, we have the atmosphere of the New Year.
Xitang Town is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The buildings in the town are all ancient and quaint. The trees planted along the stream are covered with a layer of snow. Some state-owned stores have posted couplets early on, and now there are crowds of people in front of the doors, queuing up to buy New Year's goods.
When they returned to the alley where their home was, Ye Zhi found that there was really no change here at all, except that there was an old house there, which had been demolished and now became a branch of the supply and marketing station.
The group made quite a lot of noise. They had just walked into the alley when Sister Ye heard the noise and came out. When she saw the familiar Ye Aiguo at the head, she looked at the people behind her and seemed to be stunned for a moment. But the next second, Sister Ye shouted, "Dad, Mom, you're back!"
"And the third brother, the younger sister, Captain Lu, Xiao Ding..."
While calling out to them, Sister Ye shouted back to her family, "Eldest brother, Second brother, Second brother's family, look who's back!"
Nian Nian, who was carrying Ye Zhi in front, heard the noise and was about to wake up. She blinked a few times and yawned slightly.
Ye Zhi was the first to step forward and called out, "Sister-in-law."
Mrs. Ye hurried forward, and then looked Ye Zhi up and down, saying, "Hey, isn't this our little sister? How come you are getting more and more beautiful? They all say that the sun on Qiongzhou Island is very strong and can make people's skin peel. I see, little sister, how come you are still so beautiful?"
"No way, it's still the same as before." Ye Zhi said with a smile.
Mrs. Ye couldn't help but look into Ye Zhi's arms again, and saw a white, chubby baby lying in Ye Zhi's arms. His chubby face was flushed because he had just woken up, making him even more adorable.
Mrs. Ye said, "How can there be such a cute baby? Oh, is this Niannian or Suisui? I am your aunt, so cute..."
Mrs. Ye gave birth to four children, three of them were sons, whose skin was like hers, not very white. Her only daughter was like her father, with a whiter skin, but she never gained weight since she was a child and was tall and thin.
When he saw the little girl in Ye Zhi's arms, his heart melted.
Ye Zhi and Lu Wei are both good-looking, and the children they give birth to are so cute.
Ye Zhi felt happy when she heard others praising her child.
She reached out and touched Nian Nian's face, and then said, "Sister-in-law, this is Nian Nian, the eldest. He is usually very naughty and always loves to cry at night. During the confinement period, mother really couldn't sleep well every night because of this guy."
Sister Ye smiled and replied, "It's always like this. What child doesn't cry? Our eldest child was also very fond of crying during his confinement period."
The two talked about the child. Big Brother Ye and Second Brother Ye came out. When they saw Ye Zhenhua, they were silent for a moment, but soon hugged Ye Zhenhua together, and the brothers expressed a few words of missing each other.
The vague memories in Ye Zhenhua's mind suddenly became clear. When he saw his eldest brother and second brother, he could accurately distinguish them.
Ye Aiguo's eyes suddenly turned red when he saw his sons hugging each other. Zhang Xiaomei slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Old man, you can't set a bad example for them in such a good time. Smile for me! We should have a happy new year this year!"
Ye Aiguo nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, have a happy new year."
He looked at Lu Wei, then took a deep breath and said to Lu Wei: "Son-in-law, I really want to say thank you this time."
Originally, Lu Wei didn't need to make this trip.
He had already agreed that he would only come back with Ye Zhenhua and Ye Xiaoding, and let Zhang Xiaomei spend the New Year with them on Qiongzhou Island.
But later Lu Wei said that this just happened to be the time when they found the third child in their family, so they could have a real reunion dinner and let the whole family get together.
Not many men are willing to follow their wives back to their parents' home to celebrate the New Year, especially since Lu Wei is a regimental-level cadre after all. Some people would laugh at them if the news got out.
However, Lu Wei didn't care about these and said that if Ye Zhi was not there, it would not be a reunion.
Ye Aiguo was really grateful for this.
Hearing this, Lu Wei touched the little feet in his arms to see if his feet were cold, and then said, "Dad, we are all family, we don't have to be so polite."
Ye Aiguo's face, which had been tanned by the sun on Qiongzhou Island, showed a smile, and he said, "Yes, we are all family, so let's not talk about our differences. It's cold outside, so we can go inside first and talk, so as not to let the children get cold."
After entering the house, Ye Zhi found that her eldest and second brothers had already cleaned the house thoroughly, and many things were tidier than before.
Zhang Xiaomei smiled and said, "I thought you guys didn't take care of the house anymore, but I was overthinking. It seems like you guys have kept the house in good order and clean."
It seems that her son and daughter-in-law are capable of taking charge of the household.
Mrs. Ye smiled shyly: "Mom, I just cleaned it casually. The house still needs you to take charge."
While Zhang Xiaomei and Ye Dasao were talking, Ye Zhi and Lu Wei took the child into Ye Aiguo and Zhang Xiaomei's room, changed the child's diaper, and washed his butt.
Ye Zhi wanted to change the child's diaper, but Lu Wei had already skillfully lifted the child's legs with one hand, and then pulled out the diaper that was already soaked with urine, saying, "You have to wait for me to do this. I'm skilled at it."
Ye Zhi stood aside and watched him diaper the child and quickly put a clean diaper on the child.
Ye Zhi clapped her hands and said, "Captain Lu is really amazing. He is becoming more and more skilled at changing diapers."
Lu Wei snorted and laughed, and said, "It's better to do than to say. You should at least give me a reward, right?"
In fact, Lu Wei knew that Ye Zhi was tired after sitting on the train for such a long time. Lu Wei had already booked a room in the guesthouse. Because there was not enough space for the children to sleep at Ye's house, they agreed to stay in the guesthouse for the next few days so that the children could sleep better.
Ye Zhi smiled and clung to Lu Wei's shoulders. She kissed his face, which was still cold from the outside, and said, "Captain Lu, you look really good in this dress."
The style of this coat is actually very ordinary. It is all black with warm fleece inside. But Ye Zhi met two men wearing this coat in Guangzhou at that time. They were both middle-aged men. They dressed like they had been pregnant for several months. They had big bellies and looked fat and short.
But after Ye Zhi saw Lu Wei wearing this coat, she stared at him in amazement several times. She finally understood what a clothes hanger meant.
When Lu Wei wore it, she looked just like a model walking on a catwalk. No wonder the person in charge of the clothing factory had to ask her if she would consider becoming a clothing model...
I have to say that the person in charge actually has quite a good vision.
Lu Wei looks really good in this dress, making him look tall and cool.
Lu Wei on the other end had already changed the diapers for the two children crawling all over the bed. He pursed his lips and smiled, then said with a smile: "I have to thank Comrade Ye for his careful selection, otherwise I would only be able to wear the cotton-padded jacket I wore when I was in school."
Although Lu Wei brought a military uniform this time, he did not wear it throughout the journey. He also brought a blue cotton jacket from his student days in his luggage. Although it was well preserved, it was a little faded. Although Lu Wei looked good in anything, Ye Zhi still wanted him to wear the new clothes she bought for him.
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "I bought it by the way. You don't have to be so happy."
Lu Wei quickly leaned over and pecked her on the lips, saying, "Even if you bought it by chance, I'm happy."
"Okay, okay, let's go out. It's not right to stay here." Ye Zhi walked to the other end of the bed. Nian Nian and Sui Sui were already crawling around on her parents' bed, having a lot of fun.
Ye Zhi sighed, "If I didn't have a place to live, I would have wanted to squeeze in at home." After that, Ye Zhi picked up Nian Nian and couldn't help but say, "Why do I feel like you've become heavier? No wonder my shoulders hurt so much."
Hearing this, Lu Wei stretched out his hand to pinch her shoulders and said, "I'll give you a massage when we get back to the guesthouse tonight."
After hearing this, Ye Zhi felt quite excited. After all, she had been sitting on the train for such a long time and had not been able to get a good rest with the child. When she returned to the guesthouse later, she would take a good hot bath and then ask Lu Wei to give her a massage.
Ye Zhi waved her hand, then motioned for Lu Wei to pick up Sui Sui, and said, "Let's go out first and see how to arrange it later."
After Ye Zhi and Lu Wei came out, they saw Zhang Xiaomei and her elder and younger sisters-in-law sorting out the things they brought back from Qiongzhou Island and Yangcheng one by one.
The eldest and second brothers of Ye went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Ye Aiguo planned to take Ye Zhenhua out for a walk around the town to see if he could remember some things from the past.
Ye Xiaoding had disappeared long ago. As soon as he came back, he went to play with his eldest brother and second brother's children, playing with spinning tops and having snowball fights.
After Ye Zhi chatted for a while at home, the two children started to make a noise because they heard Ye Xiaoding's laughter outside. The little guys kept shouting "yayaya" towards the outside.
Lu Wei said, "Why don't you take the kids out for a walk while the sun is still out. Otherwise, it will be cold later."
Because Sui Sui, who was in Lu Wei's arms, was also making a lot of noise. If he didn't go out now, he would probably cry like he was tearing down the house.
Ye Zhi thought about it, then took out the hats she bought in Yangcheng from her luggage and put them on. After putting on the hats, they looked even cuter. Ye Zhi couldn't help but kissed him on the face and said, "Okay, I'll take you out now to see if you're afraid of the cold."
Ye Xiaoding's face turned red from playing outside, and he exhaled white air when he spoke, but it was obvious that he was still very happy.
Ye Zhi wrapped the little guy up so tightly that only a pair of eyes were left. But after seeing Ye Xiaoding, Nian Nian quickly broke free from the blanket and was now looking at Ye Xiaoding, laughing and dancing with joy.
When the little fellow saw the white snow, he immediately stretched out his hand and babbled a few times, as if to say, "Take me over quickly, I want to play in the snow."
Ye Zhi would definitely not let them play. They are still young. What if they catch a cold while playing?
Especially the two little guys, Nian Nian and Sui Sui, who have always grown up on Qiongzhou Island, and I don’t know if they can adapt to such a cold place all of a sudden.
Ye Zhi would rather let them cry than let them go out to play.
Seeing this, Lu Wei said, "Let me hold Nian Nian. This guy is very strong."
The two little ones are now very skilled at rolling over and crawling. If one of them is not watched carefully, he will fall to the ground. Several times, when Ye Zhi just turned around to get something, the little guy had already crawled to the edge of the bed and was about to fall off.
Ye Zhi did not argue with Lu Wei and said, "Then I'll hold Sui Sui. Our Sui Sui is more gentle."
Ye Zhi took Sui Sui over, and the little guy looked at her with a smile, and did not seem to want to get down to the ground and crawl like Niannian did.
The child in Lu Wei's arms was making a lot of noise at the moment. The louder Ye Xiaoding screamed, the more excited he became. Even Lu Wei couldn't help but spank his little butt.
However, Ye Xiaoding seemed to have played with snow for a long time. He was very excited to see the snow. He grabbed a handful of snow and quickly rolled it into a ball, then hit the tree trunk next to him. However, Ye Xiaoding's eyesight was not good and he missed. The snowball fell directly into the water with a thud, and then melted and disappeared.
Nian Nian and Sui Sui became even more excited, waving their hands and feet and shouting even louder.
Ye Xiaoding said with a big smile: "Year after year, I watch my brother play snowballs!"
Nian Nian and Sui Sui already understood what was said, and they stared at Ye Xiaoding playing snowballs with their big, bright black eyes.
Seeing the child so excited, Lu Wei also bent down and grabbed a handful of snow. However, because he had to hold the child, he couldn't roll it into a ball at the moment. He just grabbed it with one hand and threw it in the direction of Ye Xiaoding.
Ye Xiaoding made a face and said, "I didn't hit it, I couldn't hit it!"
Niannian watched with even more excitement. After Lu Wei threw one, he asked him to continue throwing, as if he was playing.
Ye Zhi couldn't help but walk over while holding Sui Sui. She also bent down and grabbed a handful of snow, but she didn't go to Ye Xiaoding. Instead, she threw it on a tree trunk beside her. Sui Sui also laughed happily.
Lu Wei looked at the two guys laughing so hard that their saliva began to flow again, and couldn't help but laugh: "Do you like snow so much? Daddy will take you back to the north and you can have enough fun."
Ye Zhi looked at Lu Wei and immediately thought of Lu Wei's grandparents. The child is so grown up, but he has never gone back to visit the elderly. He doesn't know how Lu Wei's grandparents are doing.
The schedule for this trip was tight, so I didn’t call them when I was in Guangzhou, but I did call them before the Chinese New Year last year.
Ye Zhi walked up to Lu Wei and asked with pretended curiosity, "Is it snowing heavily in Beijing?"
"It's a little bigger than this one. The whole street is white."
Ye Zhi made a surprised expression and said, "There are so many ancient buildings in Beijing. Wouldn't it be beautiful if they were covered with a layer of white snow? 'Red walls, white snow, glazed tiles, the Forbidden City in the snow is as beautiful as a painting', isn't it just like what the poem describes?"
