Yu Xiangnian just asked casually, but Lin Ye was very nervous, afraid that they would notice something.
Lin also raised his head, pretending to be righteous and confident, "The road... the road was too slippery, and I was riding too fast, so I fell!"
Yu Xiangnian didn't think much about it. "I have to tell Dr. Meng, how can you let a girl go home alone every night?"
Lin also said reasonably: "I have a bicycle, which is convenient for traveling. Dr. Meng has no means of transportation, so it is inconvenient for him to take me there."
Yu Xiangnian: "...Lin Ye, if you keep protecting him like this, you will be the one who suffers."
Lin also felt that she was not tired, she was enjoying it.
Keke asked, "Why doesn't Uncle buy a bicycle so he can give it to Auntie?"
"Uncle?" Song Huaiqian frowned. "Who taught you to call me that?"
"Uncle!" Keke said, "Uncle said he will marry me in the future, so let's call him uncle first."
Lin was secretly delighted, but he pursed his lips tightly and didn't want to show it.
Song Huaiqian touched Keke's smooth little face and said, "He's not your uncle yet, so just call him uncle."
"oh."
"How do you pronounce uncle?" Song Huaiqian asked.
Keke said, "Uncle pronounces Ankou."
"From now on, you can call him Ankou Meng."
"Yeah!" An An and Ke Ke said in clear voices.
Lin Ye: “…”
Everyone was very happy during the Chinese New Year this year.
The Song family reunited to celebrate the New Year. On New Year's Eve, right after breakfast, they started slaughtering chickens and fish, picking and washing vegetables. The whole family was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
In the evening, Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangnian watched four children set off fireworks in the yard.
Looking back, An An needed Yu Xiangyang to hold her before she could light the fireworks, and Ke Ke didn’t even dare to watch. Now, the two children can set off fireworks by themselves.
And Xiaojie, the kid who knew nothing before, has now grown into a steady and thoughtful adult.
Yu Xiangnian looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky, held Cheng Jingmo's hand and said, "Cheng Jingmo, I'm lucky to have you. May we always be healthy and happy, and may all our dreams come true."
Cheng Jingmo also looked up at the sky, silently wishing in his heart, "May my country be safe, may the rest of my life be as happy as today, and may all my wishes come true."
In the family compound, Yu Xiangyang was setting off fireworks with Wen Qiuning.
It was Wen Qiuning’s first time again.
Only after trying it yourself did you realize that fireworks are not scary at all, they are so gorgeous and dazzling.
Just like her, it was only after meeting Yu Xiangyang that I realized how colorful and happy life is.
Another firework rose up, blooming colorful lights in the sky, reflecting the two people's faces in a colorful way.
Wen Qiuning's eyes sparkled, "Yu Xiangyang, thank you. You have filled my life with sunshine, warmth, and happiness."
Yu Xiangyang smiled happily, "I am very grateful to you, and I hope we can always be as loving and happy as this in the future!"
The Meng family was not so noisy and lively.
Meng Yiming was chatting and watching TV with his parents. His brother, sister-in-law, and nephews were at home and setting off fireworks outside the house.
Meng Yiming listened to the sound of fireworks and thought of Lin Ye.
That girl who never grows up must be setting off fireworks with a few other kids.
In the new year, he wanted to marry that silly girl and take her home to take care of her himself.
That was a promise he made when he was fifteen, and after twenty-one years, it was finally about to be fulfilled.
He did not tell his parents that Lin Ye was Erni back then, he only introduced Lin Ye's situation and family.
His parents were eager for him to marry the girl home as soon as possible, so they took out the retirement savings they had saved for many years to buy him a house for his wedding.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Meng Yiming returned to Beijing and came to visit the Song family.
Before I reached the door, I ran into An An and Ke Ke who were playing in the yard.
The two children called him in unison, "Ankou Meng."
Meng Yiming was stunned for a moment, then laughed and talked a lot.
The two children didn't understand and looked at him in confusion.
Meng Yiming said, "Don't you want to speak English? Your uncle will speak English to you."
Keke said, "You are not my uncle."
"I haven't seen you for just a few days, and you've already stripped me of my title of uncle?" Meng Yiming said sadly, lifting the bag in his hand. "What a shame! I brought you all some delicious food, and you don't even want to call me uncle."
Keke said, "Grandpa said you are not my uncle yet, so he asked us to call you Ankou Meng."
Meng Yiming knew that this was what Song Huaiqian meant.
Meng Yiming squatted down and took two candies from the bag and gave them to them. "Do you know how people in other countries call grandpa?"
The two children knew and said in unison: "Brother is weak and afraid."
"No, no, no." Meng Yiming raised his index finger and shook it. "Children abroad call their grandfathers by their nicknames. For example, if your grandfather's nickname is Jack, you should call him Jack too. It's very affectionate, okay?"
The two children were skeptical.
Yu Xiangnian and Lin also came back from shopping outside and heard Meng Yiming teaching two children.
"Doctor Meng." Yu Xiangnian glanced at him and said, "It's okay that you tricked Lin Ye into buying crutches, but you also tricked both children."
Meng Yiming stood up and said, "How can this be called deception? My two children will be living abroad soon. I will teach them some foreign cultural habits."
Lin also agreed that people in foreign countries do address their elders by their names.
Yu Xiangnian looked at Lin Ye, who was waving the flag for Meng Yiming, and rolled her eyes at her. "Then when you go home today, don't call your parents. Just call them Mike, Jack, Lucy, Lily, etc."
Lin Ye: "...Isn't this bad?"
"You also know this isn't a good idea?" Yu Xiangnian looked at Meng Yiming again, "You've made a good plan, letting the child play forward for you."
Meng Yiming looked innocent, "Isn't it my uncle who did this first?"
"Calling you Ankou is fine," Yu Xiangnian said, "You're really mean to teach the children to call them by their names."
Meng Yiming took the opportunity to complain, "I just wanted the kids to call me uncle to make me happy. But my uncle has taken away even this little joy from me!"
At this point, Yu Xiangnian recalled Lin Ye's fall. "You deserved it! How could a girl go to see you every day, and then ride a bicycle home alone in the middle of the night?! Luckily, Lin Ye only had minor injuries. If she had been more serious, killing you wouldn't be enough of an apology."
Meng Yiming looked at Lin Ye and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Ye said lightly, "I just slipped while riding my bike, I'm fine now."
Meng Yiming immediately thought of it, "Did it happen the night before I returned home?"
Lin Ye: “...” His face turned red when he thought of that night.
Meng Yiming said, "Let's go home and show me where you're hurt."
Yu Xiangnian: "Doctor Meng, don't take advantage of me!"
"I'm a doctor, and my professional ethics are very high."
Keke said, "Ankou Meng, buy a bicycle and take your aunt home every day, then she won't fall."
"Call me uncle!"
