Chapter 366 Mao Mao is going to throw a big party
Lou Dashuai thoroughly enjoyed the experience of playing on the swing with his daughter.
Lou Fengju was still on his way to catch the real culprit behind the hospital incident, so he helped push the cart a couple of times before leaving. Commander Lou then directed his adjutant to help push the cart.
Those who came from the military were all strong, and the swing in the courtyard creaked and groaned for most of the morning until lunchtime when the aroma wafted from the kitchen, at which point it stopped.
If it weren't for official duties and the military's repeated urging, Commander Lou would have liked to spend another afternoon with his daughter on the swings.
In the afternoon, Mao Mao had another art class.
Lou Hongjian taught her art class. She was so young that she couldn't even hold a paintbrush properly, and most of the time she just used children's crayons to create her own art.
Lou Hongjian watched his father and sister play in the morning, and felt itchy to join in. When it was time for class in the afternoon, he cleared his throat and said, "Mao Mao, your brother will teach you something new today."
Mao Mao sat upright at the small table, her little hands folded together. "Brother, what's new?"
"Brother will teach you how to sketch!"
"Sketching?"
Sketching, Mao Mao knows that!
My third brother often carries his sketchbook out, saying he's going to sketch. His sketchbook is filled with all sorts of landscapes. There are many places that Mao Mao has never seen before.
She asked excitedly, "Brother, where shall we go to play?"
“It’s too cold to go to the lake, too far to go to the mountains, and too many people in the city. I think it’s best to stay at home.” Lou Hongjian said seriously, “Our courtyard is picturesque, so it’s the perfect place to sketch.”
Mao Mao: "Huh?"
Before she could react, the art teacher had already nimbly grabbed a sketchbook, pulled out a few pencils haphazardly, and strode out: "Come on, Mao Mao, let's go swing on the swings!"
"Huh? Oh."
Mao Mao also climbed down from the chair, holding her sketchbook, her short legs clattering behind her brother.
The big white cat followed closely behind.
"Brother, what should we draw?"
Lou Hongjian led her to the swing and pointed to the swing set, saying, "Mao Mao, today we'll draw people swinging on the swing."
"Oh." Mao Mao looked at the swing carefully, tilted her little head up, and said in confusion, "But there's no one on the swing."
The ladies watched her teach, and upon hearing this, the third concubine excitedly stepped forward: "Mao Mao, your fourth mother will be your model, you draw me."
"Weren't you going to teach Xiao Xiang a foreign language today?" The second concubine stepped forward. "You go teach her, I'll be Mao Mao's model."
First wife: "I'm free too."
Meow~
The big white cat straightened its upper body, its paws pawing at Mao Mao, its heterochromatic eyes wide and watery, "Meow~~"
Mao Mao struggled to pick up her best friend, tilted her head back, and asked, "Brother, can I draw a cat?"
"No way." Lou Hongjian said confidently, "This cat is too scared to swing alone; you have to go with it. If you go with the cat to swing, who will paint?"
After thinking for a moment, Mao Mao happily said, "Brother, draw Mao Mao and the cat!"
Big white cat: "Meow~"
Lou Hongjian: "..."
Upon hearing this, the first wife couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth as she laughed.
"If you want to swing with Mao Mao, just say so. Why go through all that trouble?" The First Madam bent down and picked up the big white cat. "Since you're going to draw, why not draw me and Mao Mao?"
She held the cat in one arm and took her youngest daughter's hand in the other. The first wife held Mao Mao, and Mao Mao held the cat. The two of them and the cat sat on the swing.
The second concubine offered, "I'll help you push it."
The swing began to sway slowly.
Lou Hongjian stretched out his hand, looking at the two of them in a panic: "Hey, no..."
Lou Hongjian had prepared a whole host of excuses. One was that he needed to experience the atmosphere of a painting before he started, and another was to take his sister to the swings. Little did he know, he had prepared too many excuses, and someone else beat him to it.
What can you do if the person you're trying to take is your own mother?
Lou Hongjian had no choice but to open his sketchbook and start sketching. This time, it really became a life drawing.
But Mao Mao actually used the methods her teacher wanted to teach her.
After her afternoon art class, she lay on the table, happily drawing with her crayons, and handed in a drawing titled "Mao Mao, her mother, and the cat swinging on a swing."
Upon receiving the homework, Lou Hongjian, of course, generously gave his younger sister a perfect score of 100.
...
Before Mao Mao's party, the newly built swing was a big hit at the Lou family home.
Not only are Mao Mao and Maomao fond of it, but everyone in the family wants to come and swing there.
Of course, when they're swinging, they inevitably need to hold something in their arms. Like Mao Mao.
Nuanbo is a tiny, cuddly little bundle of joy, so soft and cuddly to hold. Especially when the swings go up high, she curls up in your arms like a little ball, and no one wants to let go.
Not only do they like to hug each other when swinging, but they also love to hold each other in their arms at other times.
Although this winter wasn't as cold as last year, Haicheng's winters are damp and chilly, and even dressed warmly, it still felt a little lacking. The cold weather made even Mao Mao less active. When she wasn't playing in the yard, bundled up in her warm clothes, she was carried around like a doll by her mothers and brothers, or squatted in the kitchen helping the cook tend the fire.
It was helping out, not stealing food.
She was going to throw a big party, inviting children to her house and asking her family's chef to cook delicious food. Every dessert at the party had to be approved by the host.
The chef first prepared several desserts: "Which one do you like, Miss?"
Mao Mao tried them all, pouting and nodding earnestly, "They're all delicious!"
The chef then prepared several savory snacks: "Which one would you like, Miss?"
Mao Mao tried them all, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Uncle, they're all delicious!"
Chef: "Then let's make them all?"
Mao Mao cheered, "Yay!"
Hmm... they really are helping very diligently.
Before the party started, the brothers brought two pieces of good news.
The person who wanted to harm Allen and Lou Heming was caught by Lou Fengju and imprisoned in jail.
After Allen underwent a new physical examination, Lou Heming devised a new surgical plan for him, and the surgery was successful.
Unfortunately, because postoperative recovery takes time and he couldn't be discharged immediately, he missed Mao Mao's party.
Mao Mao didn't mind.
After asking her brother, she asked the chef to make both sweet and savory desserts and then asked her brother to give them to Allen.
Next, it's time to set up the venue and prepare to welcome the children.
Mao Mao is throwing a big party!
