Chapter 80

"Sister, how come Miaomiao is so good?" After losing more than ten games in a row, Lu Hong, who was notified to have dinner, was so shocked that he began to question his life.

Li Ting felt soft inside, and she realized that her daughter was venting her anger for her. She picked up the little girl and kissed her several times before she raised her chin proudly: "My daughter is smart, what do you know?"

Li Hong was helped by his brother-in-law to sit on a stool. Hearing this, he challenged the five-year-old girl: "Miao Miao, let's continue tonight. I will definitely win!"

Compared to her uncle's enthusiasm, Miaomiao only gave two words: "No time."

Hearing this, Lu Hong stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's hair, and asked in surprise, "What could possibly happen to a 5-year-old like you?"

"Why are your hands so timid? I worked so hard to weave it." Li Ting slapped her brother's hand away in disdain, and gave each of the two children a small steamed bun before saying, "Miao Miao has a painting class tonight. Besides, with your level, you should just play with Guo Guo."

Guoguo swallowed the food in his mouth and said in a baby voice: "Uncle, I will play with you. I don't mind that you are stupid."

Hong...

Seeing the young man's drooping eyebrows, everyone burst into laughter.

"What are you so happy about?" Tang Wenlan stood at the door, holding a small plate of food and knocked.

Ruting quickly stood up and invited people into the house. Looking at the dish in her hand, she asked with a smile, "Where did you get the dried fish?"

Tang Wenlan first glanced at the only stranger in the room, then smiled and said, "It was sent from my hometown. Don't underestimate it, it smells really good."

Hu Xiu smiled and said, "Ask Lan to sit down and eat with us."

Tang Wenlan waved her hands quickly and said, "No, breakfast is already on the table." Then she put the plate in her hand on the table and said, "Give me the bowl later." Then she left in a hurry.

next door.

Xing Guoqiang saw his wife coming back happily and asked with a smile: "Have you satisfied your curiosity?"

Tang Wenlan played dumb: "What curiosity? I'm just delivering food to Tingting."

Hearing this, Xing Guoqiang started chatting with his wife about other things. Then, when she was serving her second bowl of porridge, he suddenly asked, "Is Li Ting's younger brother handsome?"

Tang Wenlan subconsciously said, "He's quite handsome, with a heroic look, not like Lu Wei..."

Suddenly, as if she realized something, she raised her head and met her husband's teasing eyes.

Tang Wenlan...

The day Li Taohong and Lu Shengli arrived was a Saturday.

The midterm exam was coming up soon, and it was difficult for Tingting to ask for leave, so Huo Xiao drove to pick her up alone.

But she was still worried about him, so as soon as the school bell rang, she quickly packed her things and walked out.

But I didn't expect that the person I was thinking about was actually waiting at the school gate.

Li Taohong, who was standing at the gate, also saw the girl and immediately smiled: "Hey, old man, did you see that? Many students are shouting 'Hello, teacher' to our girl."

Zhu Shengli smiled and replied: "It looks pretty good."

Li Taohong was not happy with this: "What do you mean by well-formed? It has always been like this. Tingting has been a teacher for more than a year."

Zhu Shengli was still cheerful: "Yes, yes, that's what I mean."

While the old couple was bickering, Ruting had already rushed over and hugged his mother, looking very excited: "Dad! Mom! When did you arrive? Did you come to the school by yourself?"

Being held by her daughter, Li Taohong smiled with her teeth showing, but she was saying something very different: "We arrived half an hour ago, and our son-in-law brought us here... Oh... That's enough, that's enough, you're already a mother, why are you still so clingy?"

Ruting let go of the person with a smile, said hello to his father, and then took his mother's hand and went home.

The three of them chatted and laughed, and each shared the big and small things that had happened in the past year.

Even if most of the topics have been mentioned before on the phone or in letters, they can still be discussed enthusiastically.

Of course, the most talked about person was Niannian, who looked exactly like Ruting: "...You are following the army now. If you were still in your hometown, I would have to visit you every day for Niannian's sake. That child is so handsome."

Although Ting Ting also thought the girl was pretty and cute, she couldn't help but laugh: "How can you be so exaggerated? I looked like this every year when I was a kid, right?"

At this point, Li Taohong got excited: "You don't know, your elder sister and you were so pretty when you were little, the whole village loved them, and every day people said they wanted to steal their children away to be raised. Your father frightened them so much that he tied them with cloth strips when he went to work in the fields, for fear that they would be stolen if they were caught by mistake."

This was the first time that Ruting had heard of this. She looked at her embarrassed father and laughed, "Dad, is this true?"

Although Zhu Shengli felt a little embarrassed by the teasing, he still defended himself: "When Zhu was just born, that bastard Liu Sanzhu came to steal her and said he wanted to take her back to his son as his wife."

Li Taohong rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "That was just a joke."

Lu Shengli looked fierce but had a very good temper. Throughout their marriage, he basically followed whatever his wife said, except for this one thing, which he did not agree with: "What if it's not a joke? Why should he raise my beautiful daughter?"

Li Taohong: "How is that possible? You are so stubborn..."

Seeing her parents quarreling again, she thought of the fact that her parents didn't know who her eldest sister was dating, so she asked, "Mom and Dad, have you contacted her?"

Li Taohong slapped the stubborn old man and then looked at her daughter: "No, my son-in-law said that he and you will both have a day off tomorrow, so he took me and your dad out for a walk and to see your and Shuangshuang's house. What's going on?"

"Nothing, just asking." Li Ting had a headache. She didn't know whether her elder sister should introduce Xie Hao to her parents.

Reunion after a long separation, family members reunite.

Of course, there is a lot of excitement.

That night, the whole family made dumplings together.

Even the five-year-old twins clumsily joined the army of rolling dough.

The only idle person, Jue Ting, was listening to the laughter and chatter. She was not busy translating manuscripts. Instead, she was holding her baby, Nian Nian, who was already more than four months old, and strolling around her family, listening to her parents talking about all kinds of gossip in the village.

As she was talking, Li Taohong, who was making dumplings, called out "Hey!" and looked at her little son who was rolling dough with his injured leg. "I almost forgot, Xiaohong, your fourth aunt is planning to find a match for you. What do you think? How about you meet someone when you go home to recuperate?"

Hearing this, Lu Hong, who was competing with Guo Guo to see who could roll out the better dough, was startled: "I don't want it. How old am I?"

Seeing the lively Ruting, she burst out laughing: "I can see that you have no ideas. Your voice is so loud that you are shouting splits."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter again.

After laughing, Li Taohong said, "19 is not too young. If they continue dating for another year or two, wouldn't it be just right to get married in their early 20s?"

Li Hong was very dissatisfied: "If you have time to worry about me, you should worry about your second brother first. He is already 26 years old, doesn't he have no partner?"

Hearing this, Li Taohong was too lazy to say anything and just gave her younger son a look that showed she understood.

Ru Hong was a little confused: "What do you mean? If you have something to say, please tell me." He was very nervous.

Ruting lifted the girl in his arms and wiped the saliva from her mouth with a towel before explaining with a smile, "How many girls like my second brother now? Do you have any?"

Lu Hong choked and didn't know what to say in response.

After all, my second brother was in another movie a while ago, this time he was the protagonist, and now he is a household name...

What does he compare it with?

Just as Li Hong was thinking about how to change the subject, Huo Xiao came out of the kitchen carrying a few aluminum lunch boxes.

Li Ting smiled and asked, "Is it done?"

Huo Xiao nodded, and held the girl in his arms with one hand, then looked at his mother and his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Tingting and I are going to deliver dumplings to our friends first."

Hu Xiu was surprised: "Do you carry it every year?"

Huo Xiao looked at the pink-ball-like girl in his arms, and his heart melted: "Take her out for a walk."

Hu Xiu reminded: "It's cold in the morning and evening, don't forget to put on some small clothes."

Ruting looked at the dragon-phoenix fetus: "Miaomiao, Guoguo, do you want to go out with mom and dad?"

Miaomiao shook her head: "I help grandma roll out the dough."

Guoguo also refused: "I want to compete with my uncle."

Hearing this, Li Ting looked at the twisted dough sheets that the two of them had rolled out, and twitched his lips: "...You two are quite evenly matched in strength."

I made dumplings at home.

In addition to sharing it with neighbors out of habit, you should also give a copy to a few friends you are close to.

For example, Gu Fang, Dong Xiao and Dr. Tang, whom Li Ting has always wanted to thank.

The couple strolled along the way and first delivered a copy to Gu Fang who also lived in the same compound.

On the way to Dr. Tang Jing's dormitory, Li Ting watched her husband being hugged and bitten by the young lady again and again, but she still coaxed her patiently. She told them as a joke the story of how her and her elder sister were always covered by their father wherever they went when they were young.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Huo Xiao hugged the girl tightly in his arms and said as a matter of course: "Isn't this as it should be? If someone wants to steal it, they will definitely carry it with them wherever they go!"

藺葶...?

Just when Tingting was confused, the man next to her suddenly stopped and said, "Tingting."

Ruting looked up at the person: "What's wrong?"

Huo Xiao: "It seems that Dong Xiao and Doctor Tang are in the front."

It's half past six in the evening.

In April in the south of the Yangtze River, the sky is not completely dark yet.

So when Tingting followed her husband's line of sight, she saw the two people walking towards them while pulling each other.

Almost instinctively, Li Ting pulled her husband and quickly hid behind the wall of the courtyard.

Huo Xiao was amused by his wife's sneaky behavior, but he also asked in a low voice, "What are you hiding from?"

Tingting turned around and made a "huh!" gesture to her husband, whispering, "Don't talk, they're coming over soon. If they see us, how embarrassed will they be?"

As soon as the conversation in this room came to an end, the sound of quarreling came from the other room:

"...When did I ever pester you? Liang Jingjing, don't talk nonsense. I just came to give you something!"

"I told you, I don't want it! Also, my name is Tang Jing, not Liang Jingjing!"

"I don't care. Anyway, I've called you Sparkling since you were little. You take the things. It's useless for us old men to keep them!"

"I don't want it either. Are you bothered?"

"Hey, you little idiot, I bought this with great difficulty, haven't you always wanted it?"

"I don't want it now. Give it to your partner."

"If I have a date, will you be lucky enough to get one?...Ah! You little brat, I told you that you are still as unreasonable as when you were a kid, hitting people at every turn."

Tang Jing looked at the man hugging his leg and jumping around, and she felt a little regretful that she had kicked him too hard.

But after hearing him say that he was unreasonable, he felt upset and turned around and ran away.

Because it happened too fast, not only was Dong Xiao stunned, but even Lu Ting and Huo Xiao didn't have time to dodge, and then they bumped into each other awkwardly.

...Who would have thought that Dr. Tang would suddenly come here?

In the end, it was Dong Xiao who caught up with them and broke the awkward situation: "Why are you two here?"

As he said this, he saw Nian Nian in his brother's arms, and his smile widened. He stretched out his hand curiously: "Hey, my goddaughter is here too? Come and give your goddaughter a hug."

"Get lost, who is your daughter-in-law? If you want a daughter, go give birth to one yourself!" Huo Xiao avoided his brother's hand with disdain, and then stuffed the two aluminum lunch boxes he was holding at him: "It's just right that you are here. I made dumplings at home. You and Doctor Tang can each have one."

Hearing this, Tang Jing, who was just about to find a hole to crawl into, was stunned: "And mine?"

Li Ting smiled and replied: "Yes, I have always wanted to invite Dr. Tang to my home for dinner, but I was afraid that you would be embarrassed... Today I packed pork and cabbage and leeks and eggs, half a box each. I don't know if you like it."

In fact, Tang Jing had already eaten dinner, but she was touched by the other person's kindness and hurriedly smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, these are exactly my two favorite flavors."

Li Ting waved her hand: "As long as you like it, Huo Xiao and I will go back first."

Huo Xiao has never been a talkative man. After his wife finished greeting them, he just nodded at the two of them, took his wife's hand and turned towards home.

Watching the couple walk away together, occasionally looking at each other and saying something, Tang Jing didn't know why, but the awkward feeling she had just had slowly disappeared, replaced by a hint of envy and melancholy.

Such a marriage is wonderful.

Too bad she didn't...

Thinking of this, Tang Jing suddenly lost interest.

She turned to look at the man, and just when she was about to ask him to give her the dumpling that belonged to her, she saw him open both lunch boxes and was picking and choosing.

Tang Jing gritted her teeth: "What are you doing?"

Dong Xiao didn't even raise his head: "Don't you dislike the smell of leeks? I'll pick them out for you. I'll give you all the pork and cabbage ones."

Hearing this, Tang Jing was stunned, and then she felt sad...

You obviously... don't like me.

This room.

Thinking she had caught a big spoils of her career, Ruting was talking incessantly with her husband about her curiosity.

Of course, she was the one who basically talked, and Huo Xiao was only responsible for listening and then responding with a good temper at the end.

"...You also think these two have potential, right?"

Huo Xiao looked at his wife blankly: "What's going on?"

Li Ting raised her eyebrows: "...So, you didn't listen to what I said just now?"

Huo Xiao, who had come to his senses, touched his nose and said, "Are you talking about Dong Xiao and Doctor Tang?"

1. The...

After pinching her husband and seeing him gasp in pain, she snorted coldly, "Forget it. It's not a good idea for us to make wild guesses about something that has no basis. Let's talk about my elder sister. Brother, do you think my elder sister will introduce Xie Hao to my parents this time?"

Huo Xiao moved the girl in his arms to the other side, and rubbed the place where his wife had pinched him inconspicuously, then said, "It's a rare opportunity for us to meet, I think I should introduce you to each other."

"Is that so... I don't know if my parents will accept it..."

"Don't worry about this. Xie Hao is a good person and he will accept it sooner or later."

"Too..."

Ruting thought of countless scenes of her elder sister introducing her new brother-in-law to her parents.

The gradual approach to deep perception is most appropriate.

For example, the eldest sister first communicates with her parents, then visits them, and finally the elders from both sides meet formally...

However, the reality is far more...exciting than she imagined.

Early the next morning.

Ruting had just gotten up and was still washing up in the bathroom when she heard the commotion in the living room.

She was a little puzzled, so she stuck her head out holding the half-wet towel.

Then I saw my future brother-in-law, Xie Hao, appearing in the living room of my house with a lot of bags, and staring at my parents.

Thinking that her sister had already mentioned her boyfriend to her parents, Rui Rui blushed and said, "Dad! Mom! This is my boyfriend Xie Hao. I thought it would be a rare trip for you guys, so I asked him to drive over early to pick you up and take you around Tianjing."
