Chapter 120 Nian Nian Receives Red Envelope
New Year's Day.
Early in the morning, Nian Nian, who was lying in the warm quilt, had not even opened her eyes when Shi Guilin, who was dressed neatly, pulled her out of the quilt like a carrot.
“Mmm…mm…”
Nian Nian, who was still in her sleep, groaned and kicked her legs like a rabbit after she was freed from the quilt.
Shi Guilin supported half of his body, and with his other hand, he circled Nian Nian's ankle to control his kicking movements. He spoke in a voice that was just right so as not to disturb others: "Be good, be good. Open your eyes and get up."
Nian Nian, who was tossing and turning in Shi Guilin's hands, frowned a little, her eyelashes trembled, and her eyelids barely revealed a slit.
Seeing this, Shi Guilin held onto Nian Nian's swaying, limp body with both hands and raised his voice a little, "You have to wake up. Children who can't get out of bed today won't get any red envelopes."
"I want it! I want it!" Nian Nian opened her eyes wide, revealing her round black pupils to absorb the light. "This is Nian Nian's red envelope, no one is allowed to grab it..."
The volume that suddenly rose gradually dropped back down, and Nian Nian's bright eyes could not last for five seconds before drooping sleepily to the lower eyelids again.
Shi Guilin lowered his eyes and saw the little guy like this. The corners of his mouth curled up silently, and he rolled up the hem of Nian Nian's pajamas with his fingertips, pretending to take them off: "Nian Nian, raise your hands."
Nian Nian's hands, which had been half-clenched when he slept, were still not loosened. When he heard his father's instructions, he raised his arms high, and his two little fists came in front of Shi Guilin's eyes.
Shi Guilin glanced at the child quickly, worried that he would catch a cold, so he didn't take it to heart and hurriedly took off the clothes that needed to be taken off and put on the clothes that needed to be put on the little guy.
Three minutes later, Nian Nian, who had put on a sweater, trousers and vest, was patted on the butt by Shi Guilin and rushed under the bed.
"Alright, alright. Hurry up and get out of bed, put on your slippers, and go wash up."
Nian Nian's eyes opened from a slit to half open, like a silly little puppet, with two fists hanging at her sides. She walked step by step towards the bathroom, pushed open the door, leaving a gap wide enough for a little man, and skillfully stepped onto the stool, ready to wash.
Shi Guilin's gaze followed Nian Nian's back as she entered the bathroom.
He looked at Nian Nian's unsteady steps, as if she hadn't woken up yet, and felt a little worried. The little girl seemed to be in a trance, and it would be terrible if she fell off the stool. To be on the safe side, he had better accompany her.
His thoughts stopped here. Shi Guilin left the bed, pushed open the door of the bathroom which was only wide enough for one child to pass through, and stepped in.
The scene he saw immediately made Shi Guilin freeze in his tracks.
Nian Nian stood with her legs straight, her feet slightly apart, her shoulders slightly lowered, her head straight, looking straight ahead, her eyes staring blankly at her face in the mirror.
His fists were still clenched.
Shi Guilin: "..." What are you doing?
He looked in the mirror.
Nian Nian, who was standing there in a daze, moved her eyes and met Shi Guilin's in the mirror.
Shi Guilin raised an eyebrow and asked, "?"
Nian Nian tilted his head and tried to raise his eyebrows like his father, but unfortunately he couldn't raise one eyebrow, so both eyebrows jumped up at the same time.
Shi Guilin couldn't help but laugh, slapped his butt a little harder, and called out, "Don't be stunned. Your brother Duan is waiting for you at home. He sent me a message early this morning asking you to bring a box. He said he had so many gifts and was worried you wouldn't be able to fit them all."
Nian Nian smiled, her dazed look instantly gone, and she finally unclenched her fists, waving them happily: "Brother Duan treats Nian Nian the best, Nian Nian knows that!"
"Then hurry up and don't keep Du An waiting for too long." Shi Guilin said again, and then stood there waiting for him.
"Yeah!" Nian Nian was in a good mood. He reached out and grabbed the toothbrush on the sink and started brushing his teeth according to the steps. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something. His mouth was full of foam, and he turned to look at Shi Guilin with the toothbrush in his mouth.
Shi Guilin felt his son's questioning gaze and asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"
Nian Nian was holding a toothbrush in her right hand and couldn't free it, so she could only open her left hand towards him, holding the toothpaste foam in her mouth and ignoring him: "Papa, Nian Nian...Huang Bao, you forgot...to give it to Lian Lian. Bring it here."
As his mouth opened and closed, bits of toothpaste foam sprayed onto Shi Guilin's clothes in front of his abdomen.
Shi Guilin lowered his eyes and looked at his sweater: "..."
Fortunately, there are not many, only two or three points.
"...Lianlian, help me wipe it." Nian Nian said incoherently, turned around and took a small towel for wiping her face from the hook on the wall, and rubbed it on Shi Guilin's sweater a few times.
The speed was so fast that Shi Guilin didn't have time to stop it, and the toothpaste foam was cleaned up by Nian Nian.
It seems that he is very anxious to get a red envelope.
Shi Guilin said helplessly, "Wash yourself first, or you'll foam when you talk. Next time, don't talk while brushing your teeth, and don't use the small towel you use to clean your face to clean other things. It's unhygienic. Remember?"
Nian Nian glanced down at the small towel in her hand, nodded, and quickly and carefully brushed her teeth, washed her face, and applied baby cream in the sink. She also carefully rubbed the small towel under the faucet several times.
"Papa, Nian Nian is ready." He jumped off the stool, took Shi Guilin's hand and walked out of the bathroom, stopping in the middle of the bedroom.
Shi Guilin teased, "Say a few auspicious words and I'll give you the red envelope."
Nian Nian: "What is the auspicious word, papa?"
"It's something like a blessing, or something that sounds happy."
"oh oh."
Nian Nian understood, and after thinking for a while, she spoke confidently: "Papa, Happy New Year! In the new year, Papa has become more handsome, so handsome that Nian Nian's heart is beating fast. Nian Nian loves Papa even more, um, um..."
He groaned, unable to muster any more words, "That's all."
Shi Guilin didn't make things difficult for him. He took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to him: "Here, Happy New Year, Nian Nian."
Nian Nian happily took the red envelope with both hands, and looked at the front and back of the red envelope over and over again. "It's thin."
He was a little curious: "It's so light, papa, what can be put in it?"
"Just open it and take a look." Shi Guilin raised his chin and observed his expression.
Nian Nian followed her instructions and buried her head in searching for the seal on the red envelope. After fiddling with it for a while, she couldn't find it. Shi Guilin couldn't bear to see it, and pointed with a look of confusion: "Here, it's embedded in there."
"Oh oh." Nian Nian fumbled a few times and successfully opened the red envelope. She put her fingers into it and took out three thin things.
"Money!" Nian Nian held up two hundred yuan, her mouth curved in a smile like a cat that had stolen some meat, as if she had gotten a great bargain.
"Well. Are you happy?" Shi Guilin asked.
"Happy." Nian Nian stuffed the two red bills into her pocket like treasures, and turned to ponder the remaining hard card. There were words and a string of numbers on it, "6, 3, 5, 7..."
He didn't know what it was, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He grabbed the card and put it under his pillow, where he always kept his things.
When Guilin saw what Nian Nian did, he said: "..." How hypocritical.
"Papa, let's go downstairs." Nian Nian looked up at him.
"Okay." Shi Guilin held his hand and asked as they walked, "Nian Nian, don't you know what the card was just now?"
Nian Nian was silent for a moment, then raised her voice and said, "Is it fun?"
