When Xu's father and mother brought Xuanxuan back, several old people were already sitting there watching TV.
Xiao An and Xiao Mo were there explaining to them how to turn the TV on and off and how to change channels.
"Did you bring this TV?"
"Dad, we bought it from Guangdong Province. We also bought one for Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu. We put one at home. When you have nothing to do, you can watch TV at home to relieve your boredom."
“Isn’t this TV expensive?”
Xiao Mo waved his hand nonchalantly, "It didn't cost much. This is a gift from my second brother and I to you."
Xu An smiled and looked at him. He thought this kid wanted to show off to some elders, but he didn't expect that he was also included.
He would not take advantage of his brother, so he smiled and explained, "Dad, Xiao Mo paid for this TV all by himself. He thought I didn't earn enough, so he didn't let me pay."
Father Xu looked at his two sons with satisfaction and said with a smile: "No matter who paid, you are all good children. We all know it in our hearts."
Xiao Mo glanced at his second brother and said, "That's right. Why do brothers have to worry so much? Whoever has money will pay. It doesn't matter. If you lose money, you can earn it again. But the relationship between us brothers is lifelong."
Xu An smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Xiao Mo is right, it's Second Brother who got it wrong."
The whole family was watching the TV with great interest. Aunt Xu and Grandma Wang were so engrossed in watching it that it was not until Xuanxuan cried out for hunger that they realized they had forgotten to cook.
Mother Xu and Grandma Wang went to cook. Father Xu handed a thick letter to Xiao Mo, "This is the letter Jianmin brought back for you. It was written to you by Xiao Wang and his friends, as well as a few aunts in the village who are close to you."
Xiao Mo took the letter and went back to his room. He didn't come out until about half an hour later. When he came out, his eyes were red, probably because he had been crying.
But no one exposed him, not even Xiao An, who loved to joke with him the most, made fun of him.
Seeing him coming out of the room, I shouted, "Come over and eat. Today I made your favorite potato pancakes and Grandpa Qi's braised pig ears. They are so delicious."
He lowered his head and said "hmm".
In the evening, Xiao Mo distributed the gifts he brought from Yangcheng to his brothers.
The next morning, I carried a big bag and took the bus to the compound.
Mother Lu took Niupipitang to play with the kids in the compound. Xu Ning watched TV while packing up the Yangcheng specialties that Song Mingyuan had brought yesterday.
Song Mingyuan helped install the TV yesterday, and Niupitang watched it until nine o'clock last night.
As soon as they got up this morning, they wanted to turn on the TV and were scolded by their mother. Seeing that their mother looked unhappy, the three of them were afraid of being beaten, so they followed their grandmother out to play obediently after dinner.
"Sister, I'm back, do you miss me?"
Without waiting for Xu Ning to speak, he started looking for people everywhere. When he didn't see the person he wanted to see, he asked, "Sister, why are you alone at home? Where is Niupitang? And Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu? Where did they go?"
"Xiao Mo! Don't you only think about them and not your sister?"
"Oh, my dear sister, how could I not miss you? Didn't I call you first when I arrived? No matter how close they are, they are not as close as us. We are siblings and share the same blood."
“Ahem.”
When Xiao Mo heard the cough, he paused for a moment, then immediately turned around with a smile and said exaggeratedly: “Director Shen, do you miss your old son?”
"What is there to miss? I miss him, but he doesn't miss me."
"Hey, who offended Director Shen? Is it my brother-in-law? Don't be angry, I'll tell him when he comes back. Really, he's such a grown-up, but he still makes you angry."
Mother Lu smiled and tapped his forehead. "Your brother-in-law wouldn't make me angry. I'm talking about you, little rascal. Have you forgotten about me? You haven't come to see me and your uncle Lu for so long."
“Oh, Director Shen, I can’t forget anyone, but I can’t forget you. I came to see you as soon as I came back from Yangcheng. Look, I even brought my luggage with me, and I plan to stay here with you for a few days.”
Then he opened the big bag and took out a gray scarf. "Look what your old son bought for you."
Niupipitang didn't dare to say anything just now because he saw grandma and uncle were angry, but now he sees they have made up.
They all threw themselves on their uncle to ask for gifts, "Uncle, uncle, when you left, you said you would bring us delicious food and toys when you come back. Have you bought them all?"
Xiao Mo glanced at the three of them and took out the toys and food he had brought for them from his bag, "Take it!"
"Thank you, uncle."
Xiao Mo took out another bright red scarf and gave it to Xu Ning, "Sister, this is for you."
"Thank you, Xiao Mo. I really like this color."
Seeing that several people have been coaxed, he sat on the sofa and sighed, "Why do they all like to vie for favor so much?" It's such a hassle.
