Niupitang had a sumptuous birthday meal at noon. Xiaomo took them to the door to digest the food. Niu Niu and Pippi wanted to go find Xiaopang to play.
Xu Mo thought about how he went fishing this morning without bringing the two boys, who were still quarreling with him during lunch. He had just coaxed them into submission, so he decided to go along with them in the afternoon.
He said hello to Xu Ning and took the three of them to the Youth League Home.
As soon as they walked onto the main road, they saw a military green figure walking towards them from a distance, carrying two large bags.
When the man came closer, Xu Mo saw that it was Lu Xiaotang, and he ran forward with the three children, shouting, "Brother-in-law!"
Niupitang also followed him and shouted, "Brother-in-law!"
Xiao Mo heard this and quickly corrected them: "Why are you calling him brother-in-law? He's your father, call him dad."
Niupitang hasn't seen his father for a year and has long forgotten him.
Xu Ning showed them photos of their father every night, but the photo and the real person were not quite the same. One was on paper, and the other was so tall.
But Niupitang listened to his uncle very much. When his uncle asked them to shout, the three of them stood there and shouted together: "Dad."
Lu Xiaotang put his bag on the ground and held the four children in front of him in his arms.
Niupitang was a little resistant when he saw the stranger in front of him hugging them.
But when they saw their uncle hugging his neck, Niu Niu and Pippi also hugged his arms or waists.
When Tangtang saw there was no place to hug, she hugged her uncle's neck.
Lu Xiaotang looked at the child in his arms and his eyes became a little moist.
Xu Mo asked excitedly: "Brother-in-law, why don't you write a letter and ask my second brother to pick you up on his bicycle? You must be so tired walking back."
"I came back on the ox cart of the brigade next door. It's just a short distance. I'm not tired. Let's go home first."
He carried two large bags, and let Tangtang lie on his back, hugging his neck, and walked with his daughter on his back.
Niu Niu and Pippi saw their sister lying on their father's back. She was much taller than them, so they were a little envious and wanted their father to carry them too.
Xu Mo pulled them and said, "Okay, walk back by yourselves. Didn't you see your dad is still carrying two big bags?"
Lu Xiaotang said to Niu Niu and Pi Pi, "Wait until Dad puts the things back, and then I'll carry you out to play."
The two boys nodded happily. Xiao Mo said disapprovingly, "Brother-in-law, you've been on the bus for several days. Go back and take a shower and have a good rest. Then take them out to play tomorrow."
Then he said to the two boys, "Your dad is tired, so I'll take you out to play tomorrow. Later, your uncle will take you to find Xiao Pang."
He also took Tangtang off Lu Xiaotang's back: "Brother-in-law, Tangtang has just eaten, let her walk for a while to digest it."
Seeing that he had arranged everything for the children clearly, Lu Xiaotang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Xiaomo."
Xu Mo led the three boys and ran in front, while Lu Xiaotang followed behind them carrying a bag.
Looking at the children jumping around in front of me, I felt satisfied and guilty.
He is not a good father, nor a good husband. He is worthy of his country, but he is not ashamed of his wife and children.
As soon as Xu Mo reached the door, he shouted, "Sister, sister, my brother-in-law is back."
Xu Ning was picking vegetables. When he heard his voice, he put the basket on the ground and ran out.
Just as she ran to the door, Lu Xiaotang came in with a bag. When he saw her, he threw the bag on the ground and hugged her in his arms.
"Xiao Ning, I'm back."
Before Xu Ning could say anything, Niupitang looked at the two people hugging each other, ran over to join in the fun, and hugged their legs.
Pippi sniffed and said, "It stinks!"
No one noticed it until he said it. But as soon as he said it smelled, Xu Ning also smelled it, and Tangtang and Niu Niu also pinched their noses and hid aside.
Seeing the disgusted looks on his wife and children's faces, Lu Xiaotang felt extremely embarrassed.
Xiao Mo was more considerate and said to Lu Xiaotang, "Brother-in-law, take your luggage into the house. I'll go boil some water for you to take a bath."
Xu Ning also smiled and said, "Are you hungry? I'll go cook some noodles for you."
Then he said to Niupitang, "This is your father. Call him so he can hear you."
The three children stood in a row again and shouted in unison: "Dad!"
"Good, good boy."
Then he said to Xu Ning: "Xiao Ning, you have taught our daughter and son so well. They are well behaved and sensible."
"Haha, our daughter is the one who is well-behaved and sensible, but these two naughty boys are just about to tear down the roof. Every day, the two brothers are either quarreling or fighting. They have several fights a day. In a couple of days, you will know how difficult they are to deal with."
After listening to his wife's words, Lu Xiaotang looked at his son again.
The two boys and their sister standing together look so cute! Will such a child cause trouble and start quarrels and fights?
