Huan Yuanliang snapped out of his daze and quickly released Huan Molin's arm. "I'm sorry, Dad, let me see if you're hurt?"
Huan Molin's brows relaxed. "No."
Kids have amazing stamina. Xu Ruantang played with Xiaobao for several rounds, and she still wanted to be lifted up high.
"No, no, your mother is useless, she can't lift her."
Xu Ruantang plopped down on the stool and waved to Xiaobao.
She's just lazy.
Xiao Bao's little eyebrows immediately furrowed, his little mouth pursed, and he ran to Xu Ruantang's side to take her hand.
She seemed ready to cry if she didn't continue.
Before she could even cry out, someone behind her lifted her up.
Chen Ji's voice was deep and authoritative, "Xiao Bao, Mommy is tired, stop making a fuss."
Xiao Bao's big eyes darted around, and he focused his gaze on Chen Ji.
"Daddy shakes."
Chen Ji chuckled, "Okay."
Dad is much scarier than Mom, firstly because of the distance, and secondly because of the difference in strength.
Xu Ruantang turned over slowly, and Xiao Bao held her tightly.
Chen Ji was different; he was like a short, stout gourd, tossing Xiao Bao around.
Watching from the side, Li Shuhe couldn't help but complain, "If this continues, the child will throw up."
Xu Ruantang laughed along, "Don't worry, Xiaobao is very smart. She'll be begging for mercy in less than a minute."
It's good that Chen Ji is like this, so that the child won't get addicted to playing and keep going like this all day.
Last time, Xiao Bao had a bit of gas, so Xu Ruantang had her lie face down on the bed to relieve it.
Xiao Bao thought Xu Ruantang was playing with her, so she lay down and got up repeatedly.
To distract her, Xu Ruantang gently massaged her back to help her breathe.
"Baby, lie down quietly, Mommy will massage your spine."
After that day, Xiao Bao learned it.
Back at Gao Baoliang's house, he would kneel down and "massage people's backs" whenever he saw them.
At first, the Gao family didn't understand what she meant and ignored Xiaobao.
Xiao Bao cried several times in his anxiety.
The next time Xu Ruantang came to pick up Xiaobao, they asked her before they understood.
From then on, Xiaobao would ask the whole family to massage her spine whenever she had a chance, leaving no one out.
Massaging her back is a minor matter; if she were to actually develop a liking for swinging, it would be a real backache for Aunt Gao and Uncle Gao.
"No more, no more!"
Soon, Xiao Bao covered his head and climbed up into Chen Ji's arms.
Chen Ji tried to shake her, but she wouldn't let him.
"Then go play with Brother Xiao Zhao, okay?"
Chen Ji held her in his arms, and Xiao Bao nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
In the kitchen, while Wang Xiuxiu was cooking, she wanted Lu Shishen to leave.
Unfortunately, this person wouldn't go out.
She cooked, and he cleaned up beside her, occasionally handing her plates to serve the food.
Seeing that he was diligent, Wang Xiuxiu decided to let it go.
She finished cooking all the dishes in a little while, and the kitchen was almost cleaned up, so it wouldn't be a mess.
The braised beef and roast chicken were bought by Lu Shishen at a state-run restaurant when he went out in the morning.
He also bought peanuts and liquor.
Wang Xiuxiu sliced some sausages, and with the children around, she steamed two fish and made a cola chicken wing dish.
Knowing that Xu Ruantang liked vegetarian dishes, Wang Xiuxiu cooked several vegetarian dishes and stewed a pork rib soup.
Make noodles for the two children, while the adults eat rice.
The rice cooker that Xu Ruantang sent was a timely help.
With so many people, Wang Xiuxiu served generous portions of each dish. When the plates couldn't hold everything, she asked Lu Shishen to use a basin.
The dishes were served shortly afterward.
When Xiao Bao saw the food, he ran over excitedly, staring at it longingly.
Xu Ruantang laughed, "If you act like this, people will think you're starving at home every day."
Actually, she drinks milk three times a day and eats two meals a day, and her tummy gets bulging after eating.
I spent the day with Lu Xiaozhao and ate a lot of fruit; my mouth just wouldn't stop moving.
"Second-rate!"
Xiao Bao pointed to the steamed buns on the table, which Wang Xiuxiu had prepared in case someone didn't like eating rice.
Lu Shishen picked up a steamed bun, bent down and asked Xiaobao, "Is this what you want?"
Xiao Bao: "Similar."
Lu Shishen looked at Xu Ruantang and Chen Ji, "Xiuxiu cooked noodles for them."
He meant that the child's belly was only so big, and if he ate steamed buns, he wouldn't be able to eat noodles.
Xu Ruantang smiled and said, "Give her a small piece."
If you don't give it to them, they'll cry.
Xiao Bao has a good temper, but he's impatient, especially when it comes to food.
Xu Ruantang even suspected that the child might have been starved when he was young.
The steamed bun was handed to Xiaobao, and she immediately put it in her mouth.
"Xiao Bao, Uncle gave you a steamed bun. What do you want to say to Uncle?"
Xu Ruantang reminded Xiaobao.
Xiao Bao was about to wander off when she quickly turned back to Lu Shishen with a sweet smile, "Thank you."
Lu Shishen was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "You're welcome."
"Dad, I want one too."
Lu Xiaozhao also came over. Seeing that Xiaobao was eating so well, he wanted some too.
Lu Shishen also gave him one.
Lu Xiaozhao doesn't eat much, which worries Wang Xiuxiu and Lu Shishen because the child is so thin.
Influenced by her little sister, she's now eating things she wouldn't normally touch with relish.
Soon, the adults also began their meal.
The table was laden with food, and everyone took their seats.
Lu Shishen brought over a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and asked, "Want some?"
Chen Ji wasn't addicted to alcohol and was about to say forget it when Huan Yuanliang spoke up: "How about some red wine? I brought two bottles today, and Xiuxiu just said she wanted some."
Wang Xiuxiu also had an idea, her eyes lit up and she stood up to get it.
"Yes, I'll go get it, everyone should have a taste."
Lu Shishen's face darkened slightly.
But he managed to restrain himself and followed Wang Xiuxiu to the coffee table.
"this..."
Wang Xiuxiu suddenly realized something: there was no bottle opener.
She turned around, holding the wine bottle, and asked, "Why is the cork stuck in the glass? How do I open it?"
She pretended not to know anything about red wine.
Xu Ruantang wanted to laugh, but she held it back.
They even said Lu Shishen is a good actor, and she is a good actress too.
Huan Yuanliang touched his head. "Sorry, I forgot to bring it."
Lu Shishen walked over without saying a word and took it from Wang Xiuxiu's hands.
Wang Xiuxiu thought to herself, "Why are you showing off? You'll embarrass yourself if you accidentally poke it in."
Unexpectedly, Lu Shishen examined the bottle for a moment, then took out a key from his pocket and neatly and nimbly inserted it into the cork.
With a "pop," the key and the cork were pulled out.
Upon closer inspection, Wang Xiuxiu was stunned.
Before she transmigrated into the book, she was drinking red wine at home one time and there was no corkscrew. Her husband came up with many solutions, including inserting the key.
The methods are the same, but the results are completely different.
Her husband had no sense of finesse; in the end, he punctured the cork, and wood chips fell into the wine.
And then, that person casually remarked, "What kind of garbage wine is this? Next time you want to drink it, bring your own bottle opener. You really don't know anything."
They are clearly trash.
And yet, for the sake of that pitiful sense of self-esteem, they still have to belittle others.
