New Year's Eve,
The Xu family started to get busy early in the morning. Mother Xu and Li Na were preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen.
In the main room, Aunt Li, Grandma Wang, Xiao An and a few others were making dumplings.
Xu Yang and Xu's father were pasting couplets, while Grandpa Qi and Grandpa Wang were watching beside them.
Xiao Mo was holding Xuanxuan and playing with a few kids at the door with some candy.
A little boy about ten years old asked: "Brother Mo, which school do you go to after the New Year?"
"My parents told me to go to the attached primary school, so that my brothers and I can play together again."
Several children nearby asked happily: "Really? Then we can go to and from school together."
Xiao Mo nodded and said with a smile: "We brothers should study hard and go to junior high school, high school and university together.
I have several brothers in Northeast China. They will also come to Beijing to study in college. I will introduce them to you then. ”
Niu Niu asked curiously: "Uncle, when can we go to school?"
Xiao Mo was talking to his brothers. Seeing him interrupt, he said impatiently, "You are still young. You can go to school when you are older."
Niu Niu and Pippi were a little unconvinced when they heard what he said. They were grown up and could eat and dress themselves, and they hadn't wet the bed for several days.
After Dad Xu put up the couplets, he saw Xiao Mo holding Tangtang's hand and talking to some other kids. Niu Niu and Pipi pouted.
He smiled and said, "Niuniu, Pipi, you two want to go to school too?"
Niu Niu and Pi Pi ran over and said with a smile: "Grandpa, when can we go to school?"
"It's not that easy if you want to go to school. I'll send you to kindergarten after the New Year, but don't cry when you get there."
Pipi asked hesitantly, "Grandpa, don't we go to school with my uncle?"
Father Xu smiled and said, "If you want to go to school with your uncle, I'm afraid that's not possible. You two are still young. You have to go to kindergarten first."
Niu Niu said: "If we are not with my uncle, then we won't go. We might as well play at home."
Father Xu patted their heads and said with a smile, "This is not up to you two to decide. Wait until your parents come back and let them decide."
Niu Niu and Pipi broke free from their grandfather's hands and ran to their uncle.
They ran and shouted, "We don't want to go to school. We won't go until our parents come back. If we want to go to school, we have to go with our uncle."
Several people were amused by his two brothers. What a joke! Why don’t you go to school? When your parents come back, let’s see if you two can still be so stubborn.
The whole family had a lively New Year's Eve dinner, but unfortunately Mr. and Mrs. Lu didn't come. They spent the New Year in the compound this year.
The couple on the train did not treat themselves badly. The food on the train was good today, including braised pork and fried hairtail.
Lu Xiaotang bought one of each and also asked for a vegetable.
Xu Ning picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth to taste it. It tasted good. "The food on this train is a bit expensive, but it's really good."
Lu Xiaotang picked up another piece of hairtail for her and said, "Then eat more. I feel like you've lost weight in the past few days."
Xu Ning pinched the flesh on his face subconsciously after hearing what he said, "How have you lost weight? You are not the same as before."
She also picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Lu Xiaotang's bowl, "You should eat more too. You've been working hard these past few days, running around."
An older sister who was sitting there reading a book saw their interaction and smiled: "The two of them have a really good relationship. Are they married?"
The two smiled and nodded to the older sister. Xu Ning said, "We have been married for several years, and our child is over two years old."
The older sister was surprised and said, "I really can't tell. I thought you were still a little girl. You don't look like a mother at all."
Xu Ning smiled at her playfully, "Big sister, I'll take it as you praising me for my youth."
The elder sister laughed after hearing her words, "I'm not praising you, I'm telling the truth, you really are like a little girl."
Xu Ning felt somewhat happy. As a girl, who doesn’t like to be praised for her youth?
Well, even though she is already a mother of three children, she prefers to listen to these things now.
Lu Xiaotang watched her shoveling rice into her mouth while burying her head in the bowl and grinning.
It’s funny to think, would a girl be so happy when someone praises her as a little girl?
He put some vegetables in her bowl and said, "Don't just eat rice, eat more vegetables, or there will be leftovers."
Xu Ning looked up at him and said, "You eat too. You don't have to keep picking food for me. I can pick up whatever I want to eat myself."
I also picked up a piece of braised pork and a piece of hairtail for him.
