"Excuse me, I'm only wearing formal attire right now!" Her words were forceful and successfully shut Chen Jianjun up.
Ha ha.....
It wasn't until he heard his second brother's mocking laughter that Chen Jianjun snapped out of his daze, awkwardly sat down, and met the disappointed looks in his parents' eyes...
Chen Jianguo rolled his eyes. He thought to himself, "I think my younger brother Li is already a grandfather, but he still acts like a child, always showing off."
"father....."
"Dad...I've seen the world!" The first one was Little Niu Niu, and the second one was Little Bao, their voices trembling slightly.
Chen Jianguo looked at the twins who had just entered and were clinging to his leg, and his expression softened instantly.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't watch it carefully!" Liu Ya whispered as she came in from behind.
Chen Jianguo comforted her, "It's okay, it's such a small ball, who could find it!"
Then she asked her youngest son, "Is there anything left at home?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bao stopped crying. Liu Ya also breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to stand beside her father.
Chen Jianjun patted her head, suppressing his heartache. It was all his fault for neglecting Liu Ya these past few days.
"Dad, are there any red envelopes today?" the little girl asked curiously.
"Red envelope...?" Xiao Bao shouted, attracting the attention of several adults.
"Yes, does Xiaobao want a red envelope?" Chen Jiandang couldn't resist teasing the child.
"Of course I should! Second Uncle, shouldn't you give me a red envelope?" Xiao Bao, the guest of honor, stared intently at Chen Jiandang with shining eyes.
Cough cough...
Chen Jiandang felt quite comfortable being stared at by a pair of big eyes.
"Haha... Xiao Bao, if you kowtow to your second uncle right now, you'll definitely get a red envelope!"
The adults inside the house also started to watch the excitement, wanting to see what Xiaobao would do.
To their surprise, a soft, excited voice rang out first.
As soon as she heard her third uncle say, "Kowtowing and bowing will bring you a red envelope!" the little girl's eyes lit up instantly.
Like a third wheel in the house, Chen Jianguo sighed. Despite the twins' usual antics—the little girl being very talkative and the little boy being quite boisterous...
But the younger daughter went crazy...
Forehead....
Chen Jianguo tried to stop her but failed. He watched as the little girl rushed out like a cannonball and knelt directly in front of Chen Jiandang.
"Second Uncle, I wish you all the best and good health!"
......
Mr. Chen and Ms. Chen...
Chen Jiandang, Chen Jianjun....
Blink, what just happened? Look down at the little girl who's standing up.
Xiao Bao snapped out of his daze, quickly left his father's side, went to his sister's side, and knelt down beside her.
"Second Uncle, I wish you happiness every day and lots of money!"
Chen Jiandang was shocked. Why was there another one? It wasn't until Chen Jianjun next to him shoved him away.
"Haha... Second Brother... I'm waiting for you!" Chen Jianjun's face turned purple from holding back his laughter.
Chen Jiandang was embarrassed, then suddenly realized what was going on and looked for a red envelope, but found none. In the end, he had no choice but to take out two 50-cent coins.
"Give one to each of the little girls and the little boy," Chen Jiandang emphasized, "This is from your second uncle!"
Waaah....
That adds up to one dollar, enough to buy a pound of meat.
Ha ha....
The first person to laugh was Chen Jianjun, and then his parents also watched and laughed.
Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu Niu got the money, and without caring about anything else, they excitedly walked over to Chen Jianguo.
"Dad, this is my money!" Xiao Bao showed off the money in his hand.
"Dad, can I take it myself?" the little girl asked expectantly.
Chen Jianguo's lips twitched for a moment, then he nodded. "Okay, I'll put it in your little cabinet later!"
Since the age of three, the twins have had their own small storage boxes. Thinking of this, Chen Jianguo can't help but admire his wife.
Since Su Xia made everything himself, and it's sturdy and durable, he doesn't need to buy paint to apply a nice color.
During lunch, Su Xia learned that the two little ones had made a wish to Chen Jiandang.
"Mom, Dad said I should keep it myself!" Little Niu Niu said loudly when she saw Su Xia looking at her, and even brought up Chen Jianguo.
Su Xia.....
"Haha... Sister-in-law, so you want money for the kids too!" This was the first time Xia Laidi dared to openly say this to Su Xia.
Su Xia....
Looking at the others, even Liu Chunxia had a smile on her face. Well, I guess she's contributing to everyone's entertainment.
You might ask why Xia Lai Di feels sorry for him? It's because she knows her sister-in-law's ways and will definitely give him more...
Sure enough, early the next day, the first day of the new year, the old family members Wu Ya Gou Dan and Liu Ya Gou Wa came to pay their respects.
"Uncle and Aunt, how are you...!"
Knock knock....
The sound of their heads hitting the ground made Su Xia feel sorry for them.
"Okay...okay...get up, all of you!" Su Xia and Chen Jianguo pulled the four children up one by one and gave each of them a red envelope.
They all cost six mao, one mao more than the second and third sons. This was Su Xia's idea, since her family was indeed better off.
"Auntie, can I eat that?" Gouwa asked, still a little embarrassed.
Su Xia paused for a moment. Before, Liu Ya would take care of her younger brother, but now...
With Wuya Gou Dan standing in the middle, Gouwa looked all alone...
"Eat up, there's food on the table!" Su Xia said, and the children sat down, with Wu Ya sitting up straight.
Even the usually active Gou Dan sits very upright.
When Gouwa saw this, he sat down as well, his little hands digging into the oranges, his mouth full of saliva.
With the three of them like this, Liu Ya seemed much more natural in handling important matters.
First, she poured water for Su Xia, then tidied up the trash on the coffee table, and then asked, "Auntie, where are Sister Niu Niu and the others?"
Su Xia smiled and said, "I'm not up yet. I went to bed too late last night!"
Liu Ya nodded, "Then I'll go find Sister Niu Niu, okay?"
"Of course! If you wake them up, your aunt will give you candy!"
Liu Ya smiled, her little face turning rosy...
Watching Liuya leave with practiced ease, Wuya sighed inwardly...
"Liu Ya has been sharing a room with her for the past few days, but she hasn't talked as much or laughed as much as she has just done."
"Auntie, we'll head back now!" Wu Ya said, sitting down.
"Okay, Wuya, could you please take Gouwa to your third aunt's house?"
Wu Ya nodded; it was she who brought him when he arrived.
Su Xia then gave each of the three an orange and a handful of candy, at least eight pieces, to each of them.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Gou Dan expressed his gratitude first.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Gouwa echoed, laughing happily.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Wu Ya felt a little embarrassed. She was already 17 years old, yet she was still being treated like a child!
"Don't thank me, go back now, don't stay outside, it's too cold!"
"Good!"
The three disappeared behind the small door. Su Xia returned to the house and bumped into Chen Jianguo coming out of the kitchen.
"Wu Ya and the others left?"
"Yes, Liuya went to find Niuniu!"
Chen Jianguo nodded; he had just gone to chop firewood and hadn't seen it.
"Xiaxia, my parents-in-law, we're staying in the county town right now. When do you think we should go back?"
Su Xia wanted to roll her eyes, but thinking that "bigger than 뎃놊" was auspicious, she held back.
As for why Su's parents didn't return to the village... or was it Su's older brother and sister-in-law?
These past two years, Su's parents have been living in the county town, constantly thinking about their old house in the village. Every time the elderly couple goes back, a major drama unfolds over the house...
Let's just stay in the county town today, stop talking, and have some peace and quiet.
"Let's go back together once everything's settled here!" Su Xia thought for a moment and decided to go back to her hometown and come back later.
Chen Jianguo also felt that this would save trouble.
