The next day, the whole family sat at the dining table. After breakfast, Mrs. Gu said to Niu Niu.
"Niuniu, can mom and dad take you to the park to play today?" Mom gently stroked Niuniu's hair and asked her with a smile.
Niuniu was surprised to hear this. Her parents, who were always busy with work, actually took the initiative to ask her to go out and play. She looked up, her eyes filled with anticipation and suspicion.
Although she was very eager in her heart, Niuniu did not immediately agree happily, but lowered her head and whispered:
"But... I still have to learn to dance." She didn't want to disappoint her parents, nor did she want to give up her favorite dance.
"It's okay, Mom has already asked for leave for you." Mrs. Gu gently held Niu Niu's hand and said softly.
Niu Niu's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again.
"Then won't you accompany your brother?" Her voice became even quieter.
The couple looked at each other, with uncontrollable guilt in their eyes, and their hearts felt even more sour.
"Let's send my brother to grandma's house today, and mom and dad will play with Niuniu, okay?" Brother Gu said softly.
Looking at Niuniu, his eyes were full of expectation and love. Niuniu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, if we want to go out and play, we have to go as a family. My brother can't be left behind."
"Your brother is still young. After you are taken away, mom and dad won't be able to spend time with you properly." Mrs. Gu sighed and said guiltily.
She knew that she and her husband were always busy with work and had little time to play with their children. This time she finally had the opportunity, but Niuniu rejected it again.
Niuniu lowered her head and said nothing. Su Nuan saw what she was thinking and whispered, "Niuniu, don't you want to see your brother alone at home?"
Niu Niu looked up at Su Nuan's gentle gaze. After a long time, she answered in a low voice, tears welling up in her eyes.
She knew her parents were very busy at work, but she didn't want to leave her brother alone at home.
“I don’t want my brother to be like me.”
Hearing this, the adults present couldn't help but feel sad, and they felt even more distressed for Niu Niu. They had suffered neglect themselves, but they didn't want their brother to experience it again.
Mrs. Gu couldn't stop crying, and brother Gu's eyes were also red. After a long time, brother Gu calmed down and said to Niu Niu with a smile.
"Okay, let's go to the park as a family."
He looked at Niuniu, his heart filled with warmth and happiness. Although traveling might be a little troublesome, he knew it was worth it.
"That's great!" Niu Niu jumped up happily.
Then she turned to look at Su Nuan and said again.
"Uncle and aunt, are you going with your brothers and sisters?"
Su Nuan smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Go ahead. Didn't my aunt promise you yesterday?"
Niu Niu became even more excited, with a bright smile on her little face.
An hour later, after everyone packed up their things for the outing, a group of people headed towards the largest park in Beijing.
Along the way, the two families sat in two cars. The children played and laughed in the cars, full of anticipation for the upcoming trip. Everyone laughed all the way.
After arriving at the destination, the two brothers of the Gu family were responsible for taking things. They moved the barbecue grill, charcoal, ingredients, etc. to the lawn of the park.
Su Nuan had inquired in advance that picnics were allowed in the park, so she asked Jack to buy a barbecue grill from outside and prepare various ingredients and charcoal. Today they planned to have a barbecue in the park and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Although Beijing had entered winter and the weather was a bit cold at this time, everyone was in a very warm and happy mood.
The children ran and played on the grass, feeling the fresh air and warm sunshine.
The adults began to prepare the barbecue. They placed the ingredients on the grill, coated them with oil and seasoning, and turned the grill to ensure that the food was evenly heated. Soon, the air was filled with the rich aroma of barbecue, which made people salivate.
Everyone gathered around the grill, enjoying delicious food and laughing. Children recounted interesting stories from school, while adults shared their experiences at work and in their daily lives. The sun shone down on everyone, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere, bringing a sense of family warmth and happiness.
On this cold winter day, everyone's enthusiasm and laughter seemed to melt the ice and snow, making the entire park full of vitality.
At this time, there was an old man in the park holding a kite in his hand, selling it to tourists, and the children became interested in the colorful kites.
Tuantuan pulled Su Nuan's sleeve and started to act coquettishly.
"Mom, what's that grandpa holding in his hand? Is it a kite?"
"yes"
"Mom, please buy us a kite. I've never flown a kite before, I've only seen them in textbooks."
Su Nuan looked at the children's eager eyes, smiled and nodded, "Okay, then buy one."
Su Nuan walked up to the old man and bought a kite for each child.
The children who got the kites were very excited and ran to the open grassland to fly their kites.
The adults sat aside, eating barbecue and chatting, enjoying this warm parent-child time.
At first, the children couldn't fly their kites. They ran around the grass for a long time, but the kites still couldn't fly. When they were young, the two brothers of the Gu family often flew kites with the other children in the compound.
The two brothers took the children together and taught them the key points. With their help, the children's kites flew high.
Looking at the kite flying high in the blue sky, the child shouted with joy.
Niuniu ran with her kite, trying hard to fly it. The kite fluttered in the air, rising higher and higher. The other children followed her and ran too.
Soon, the sky was filled with colorful kites, like blooming flowers. The children's laughter echoed over the park, attracting the attention of passers-by.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and Niu Niu's kite string suddenly broke. The kite lost control and flew away. Niu Niu cried anxiously.
"Don't worry, Niuniu, let's go find the kite together." Brother Gu comforted.
So the adults took the children to search in the direction the kite flew.
They searched for a long time before they saw the kite blown onto a willow tree not far away.
It’s just that the kite is a little high, so it’s a bit troublesome to take it down.
Niu Niu looked up at her kite under the tree, and tears couldn't stop flowing down her face.
Seeing his daughter like this, Brother Gu squatted down and coaxed her softly.
"Niuniu, don't cry. Daddy will help you take down the kite, okay?"
"But it's too high, I can't get it down."
"Niuniu, do you believe in Daddy?"
Niu Niu nodded to show her belief.
Second Brother Gu stood up and looked at the location of the kite, then took off his coat and handed it to Gu Chengfeng.
