Although their hands were small, the two of them gripped the broken wave drum tightly, their main theme being that they could not repay anything to them.
The rattle drum was specially made by Wang Laonian and Qiaomei. From the drum frame to the drum skin embroidered with cute animals, they put a lot of thought into it, and the two little ones really liked it.
Seeing that Gu An'an really intended to return the things they brought, the brother and sister knew that it was impossible not to take the two sets of clothes, so they stopped being coy.
"Okay, we'll accept it. Thank you, Sister Gu."
Wang Nian wore a long-sleeved shirt and long pants, which was suitable for going out and walking, while Xu Wan wore a long dress, which she could wear to school in the spring.
Xu Wan fell in love with the dress the moment she saw it, but she was too embarrassed to accept it, since the other person had already helped her so much.
But the moment she actually agreed to accept it, Xu Wan felt so happy she was practically bubbling with joy.
Finally, finally, besides her parents, she also received beautiful clothes that others had carefully prepared for her.
The brother and sister stayed for a while, and seeing that the Wang family was about to eat, they immediately made an excuse to leave, no matter what the village chief and his wife said.
"The old couple really had good luck. Their two children are smart and obedient. Xiao Nian is a good student and can do accounting very quickly. There was a lot of business in the village, and the old accountant couldn't handle it all by himself, so they asked him to help out."
“Besides accounting, he would help the old couple whenever he had time. Xiao Wan is the same; she finishes her homework at school every day and helps Qiao Mei cook and tidy up after school. Now, everyone in the village who sees this will go home and beat the child.”
Thinking of those children who were beaten and cried their eyes out, Gu An'an found it rather amusing.
She admitted that she had gone astray.
After spending one night in Xiaowang Village, the family returned to the commune. After all, Xiao's father still had to go to work, and if they stayed in the village, he would have to go to work every day.
In this kind of weather, it was very inconvenient and dangerous to travel back and forth, so the group decided to return to the commune.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Gu An'an had just gotten up when she found that Aunt Xiao was already busy preparing things.
"Are you up? Did I wake you?"
Continuing with her work, Xiao's mother said happily, "I'm making sticky rice cakes. You like red bean paste filling, so I thought I'd make a lot so you can take some back with you after the New Year."
Seeing that Gu An'an was about to help, Xiao's mother quickly stopped her, saying, "You don't need to help here. You just need to look after the two children."
"Aheng is playing with them. She offended them yesterday and it took her a lot of effort to appease them. Is it to give them more time to get to know each other, or is Mom just annoyed by my clumsiness and doesn't want me to get involved?"
She was joking, of course, and Xiao Ma knew it, so she immediately said, "How could that be! An'an, if you're clumsy, are there still people who are skillful these days?"
Then, recalling the trouble her son had suffered with the twins, Xiao's mother couldn't stop smiling. "Aheng has always been the perfect child, loved by everyone. I never expected him to stumble with his own children."
Thinking of Xiao Yuheng, who had been apologizing since last night and continued to do so this morning, Gu An'an laughed unkindly, "It's all because he used to threaten the two kids with spankings, and now they've remembered it all."
"That's right, my grandchildren aren't ordinary kids. They've all kept a record of everything for their old man, just waiting to settle scores later."
It's true what they say, grandparents and grandchildren are always closer. If anyone else had dared to make Xiao Yuheng suffer such a setback, Xiao's mother would definitely have some complaints. But since it was Xiao Dabao and Xiao Erbao who did this, all she could do was praise them.
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting about various funny stories, Xiao Yuheng was being pulled on the ears and his beard by the two children.
"Eek!" Dad's beard is really prickly, not at all as fragrant and soft as Mom's.
"Ahhh!" Daddy, take me to find Mommy.
After playing for a while, Xiao Yuheng took the two children to find their mother. The two children became excited when they saw Gu An'an making glutinous rice flour.
"Ahhh!" Daddy, take me to play!
"Ahhh!" I want to play too, sister, wait for me.
The baby was only three months old, but he was more active than babies who were seven or eight months old. Seeing this, Xiao's mother, who was very fond of her grandchildren, was about to let them play, but Gu An'an stopped her.
"This is food, not your toys. You can't play with it or make a fuss about it."
If Xiao Yuheng had said those words, the two children would definitely have ignored him. But when Gu An'an spoke, the two children only dared to look at her with a wronged expression. Seeing that Gu An'an was as firm as a rock and could not be moved at all, they could only give up.
"Oh dear, these two kids really can only be handled by you. If Ah Heng and I don't let them play, they'll definitely cry in front of us. It seems we'll have to play the bad cop from now on."
With glutinous rice flour in her hand, Gu An'an didn't reach out to play with the two children. She just looked at the two obedient babies with a doting expression. "They understand everything. If we don't take care of them now, we won't be able to manage them in the future."
"Yes, yes, you can manage it however you want from now on. Even if we can't help much, we will never hold you back. If you have any problems, just tell us and we will cooperate with you."
Although it was a case of grandparents doting on their grandchildren, Xiao's mother was still very rational. She had seen too many examples of spoiling children to the point of killing them, and of course she didn't want her two children to end up like those people.
"Aheng, did you hear that? From now on, you'll listen to An'an when it comes to educating the two kids. If you dare to go against her, I'll beat you up."
Xiao Yuheng was helpless. He hadn't said a word, but he was always the one who suffered.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely listen to An'an."
Seeing that the whole family listens to their mother, the two children understand her position in the family better. They exchange a glance and see compromise in each other's eyes.
There was no other way; their mother had suffered so much for them, so they had to obey.
Although they couldn't directly handle the glutinous rice flour, the two children didn't want to leave. They watched their mother and grandmother take turns handling the rice flour, getting more and more excited as they watched.
Mom and Grandma are amazing!
When the two kids saw the ugly thing Xiao Yuheng had made, they rolled their eyes unceremoniously, as if their eyes had been burned. "Dad made such an ugly thing."
Unfortunately, the children's eye-rolling was noticed by everyone, and Xiao's mother couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh dear, are Daddy and Erbao disgusted by the ugly sticky rice dumplings Daddy made?"
"Ugh! It's ugly and doesn't taste good."
Xiao Yuheng: ...Although I don't understand it, it feels like the insults are very vulgar.
His sadness didn't affect Xiao Ma's good mood at all. Anyway, no matter what Xiao Da Bao and Xiao Er Bao did, Xiao Ma found them adorable.
Disliked by his son and daughter and ridiculed by his mother, Xiao Yuheng could only turn to his wife for help. However, Gu An'an had no time to look at him and was engrossed in making sticky rice cakes.
