Chapter 198 New Year
Xie Shuangbai looked at Old Man Li, whose hair was even whiter than before, and felt very friendly.
"I've got something good for you!"
Old Man Li's eyes sparkled as he asked curiously, "What good stuff?"
Xie Shuangbai deliberately kept it a secret: "You'll know in a moment. Why didn't I see Li Shan?"
"Li Shan and Grandma Li are at home for the New Year."
"What a shame I brought him a gift."
"It's a pity that everything is in the village. He will definitely wish you a happy new year tomorrow and you can just give it to him!"
He accidentally saw Rong Ye and said in surprise:
"Big fool?" He looked at Xie Shuangbai again: "Not stupid anymore?"
"Well, thanks to you!"
"Well, he's just lucky!"
Old Man Li saw Rong Chi in Rong Ye's arms and said: "The little boy's eyes have healed. He looks just like his father."
Rong Chi recognized his voice and called out obediently, "Grandpa!"
Old man Li was delighted by his call: "This kid is smart!"
Wang Dadi saw that they were chatting and tapped his pipe: "Why don't you come in? Don't let the children get cold!"
Xie Shuangbai hurriedly pulled people into the house, and Rong Chi's fever subsided and he stopped catching cold.
Rong Chi thought that although the grandfather who smoked the pipe was a bit fierce, he didn't seem to be mean to his little dad.
He called out softly, "Grandpa."
Although Wang Dadi didn't want Xie Shuangbai and Rong Ye to be together, his heart of stone melted when such a cute kid called him.
Besides, who wouldn’t be moved by such a cute little dumpling?
Cui looked at Rong Chi and sighed, "Isn't this the little baby in the New Year pictures? Why is he so rare? Look at his pretty face. How many girls will be attracted to him when he grows up?"
Mrs. Xue also smiled and praised: "That's right, mother. Shuang'er is really good at dressing up her children. This little bag is so cute."
Xie Shuangbai held his forehead, he wanted to say to sister-in-law, that’s not a bun, that’s a meatball!
But Rong Chi is really cute today.
Xie Shuangbai dressed him in a red cross-collared short jacket, a thin rabbit fur vest on the outside, a skirt and pants of the same color as the jacket, and a cute rabbit ear hooded cape.
So cute.
When he takes off his cape, revealing his round bun and cute little face, no one can resist him.
Rong Ye didn't comment on this outfit. In his opinion, it was too feminine, but since Xie Shuangbai liked it, he just let him do it.
Rong Chi saw that everyone thought he looked good in his outfit, so he blushed and softly corrected everyone: "I am handsome, not cute!"
This sentence successfully made everyone laugh again.
Even Li laughed and joked:
"Okay, okay, you are the most handsome, the most handsome!"
Rong Chi saw that everyone was praising his handsomeness, and smiled at Xie Shuangbai: "Little Daddy Chi'er is the most handsome!"
Xie Shuangbai covered his face. It seemed that he had to be more careful with his words and actions in the future.
Cui pulled them over and said, "Shuang'er, please sit down!"
A table was added next to the sofa, and on it were many pastries and fruits that were not usually seen.
Xie Shuangbai asked Rong to bring over a small dark box.
When they opened the box, everyone smelled a pleasant fragrance.
Xie Shuangbai pointed at the fruit in the box and said, "This is the fruit I asked someone to bring from Nanzhao. Everyone, have a try!"
Everyone was shocked, Nanzhao Kingdom!
Xue stared with wide eyes in shock:
"My God, how much does this cost!"
She was shocked when she saw it. This, this must be eating gold.
Li also had the same idea.
She swallowed her saliva. What she was eating was not fruit, but money.
Xie Shuangbai smiled and asked Rong Wu to take the fruit and follow him to the kitchen.
Cui said hurriedly, "Shuang'er, please sit down. I can't ask you to do anything!"
"Auntie, I won't do it. I have to tell them how to do it, otherwise no one will know how to do it!"
Cui thought about it and it was true. No one knew what this strange fruit was.
Cui rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll go. The kitchen isn't finished yet."
Xue and Li also said, "Mom, I'll go."
Xie Shuangbai: "Let's go together."
The three Xie sisters were frying meatballs in the kitchen.
They saw Xie Shuangbai coming in and called out, "Brother, are you feeling better?"
Cui behind him asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are you sick again?"
Xie Qiushi said: "It's not brother, it's Chi'er, he had a fever last night."
Cui asked anxiously, "Have you taken the medicine? I just checked the child and he's fine."
"It's fine now, auntie."
Cui warned: "You have to pay attention to the child. It's not easy to take care of a child!"
"I understand, Auntie. Let's cut the fruit first."
The fruits were the two kinds that Xie Shuangbai picked out from the space refrigerator.
Pineapple and coconut.
He wanted to bring strawberries and cherries but it was impossible because these were the only two things that looked like they wouldn't spoil easily.
Cui went to pick up the fruit and touched the crown of the pineapple. She exclaimed, "This fruit is prickly. Shuang'er, please don't do it. Let me cut it."
Cui used a cloth to cut the pineapple.
Xie Shuangbai told her how to cut it, and soon a pineapple was cut.
Cui felt a little distressed as she looked at the thick skin that had been cut off: "There's not much left after cutting such a big fruit."
Seeing her distressed look, Xie Shuangbai comforted her, "Auntie, this fruit is like this."
Although Xue knew the condition of the fruit, she still felt bad for it. Looking at the pineapple peels all over the ground, she thought, this is such a waste of money.
Soon, more than a dozen pineapples were cut, filling a large basin.
"Sister-in-law, please give us a few more plates so that everyone can take them."
Xue and Li divided the pineapple.
Mrs. Li brought two plates of pineapples into the house for Rong Chi to eat, and then came back to continue packing them.
Xie Shuangbai was directing Rong Wu and the others to crack coconuts.
The coconut milk is poured out and the pulp is scraped off.
This is a strenuous job.
In the room, Wang Dadi looked at Rong Ye, wanting to speak but hesitant. He held the pineapple brought by his second daughter-in-law and smiled at Rong Chi: "Baby, eat some fruit."
Rong Chi looked at Rong Ye.
Rong Chi took one and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
He took a bite and the taste was familiar: "Daddy, this is the taste of Daddy's little cake!"
Besides strawberries and cherries, Rongchi’s favorite is pineapple.
But he likes to eat the soft outer part the most, and he doesn’t like the hard core in the middle.
He ate the soft part and put the hard center on an empty plate on the table.
Wang Dadi felt sad when he saw this, it was all money.
He wanted to eat it, but he felt it was inappropriate. If the big guy hadn't been sitting there, he would have said he would have eaten what the child had left.
Old man Li saw that Wang Dadi was hesitating and hadn't asked a single question yet.
Anyway, there are not many people in the house at this time, everyone is busy in the kitchen.
Old man Li asked in a low voice: "You and Shuang'er are..." As he said that, he made a gesture.
Rong Ye understood and nodded.
Wang Dadi was dejected when he heard him say this. He asked:
"You didn't force him! How could our good child..."
The more he thought about it, the more impossible it seemed. He asked excitedly, "You really didn't force him, did you?"
"Can Shuang'er be forced?"
Old man Li's words silenced Wang Dadi.
He knew best that although Shuang'er looked gentle on the surface, she was actually very stubborn.
If he didn't really like this big fool, who could force him?
But knowing is one thing, and seeing is another.
