Chapter 350 Eating Oranges

After dinner, Da Xia Zhizhi distributed the New Year gifts and everyone chatted for a while. It was getting late, so everyone packed up and prepared to go home.

Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and no one will go to work. After all, most people have families to support, and they should be given a day off on the New Year's Day to rest, so that everyone can spend time with their families, have fun at home, and enjoy family happiness.

Apart from Zhou and Deng and their spouses, they do not have children, and the family atmosphere is a little colder than that of others. Grandpa Zhou has a nephew in his hometown, who came to spend the New Year with him two years ago. He was quite happy at that time and cooked a family dinner himself.

But each of my nephews has his or her own family, so it is impossible for them to come every year.

So this year Zhou Deng and his wife will celebrate the New Year together.

Everyone stood up and walked out one after another.

While they were eating, it started snowing, and it was snowing quite heavily. By now, the snow was about five or six centimeters thick.

As soon as we opened the door, a chill hit us in the face. We had been sitting in the warm room, eating some food and drinking some wine, and everyone was feeling a little groggy.

The wind and snow blowing on your face make you feel refreshed instantly.

"It's snowing again." Deng Nutu, walking in front, sighed.

Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "It's good to have snow. Auspicious snow means a good harvest."

Seeing this, Ms. Deng turned around and scooped up Mr. Zhou's coat, and asked him in a low voice: "Why don't you go back and rest early today?"

Mr. Zhou shook his head: "I'm not sleepy after dinner, and I can't fall asleep if I go back home. Why don't I go to the office and sit for a while? I still have some documents to read."

Deng Nutu did not persuade him any further. She just took his hand and said, "Okay, I'm not sleepy anyway, so I'll go with you."

The two looked at each other tenderly and affectionately.

"It's snowing, it's snowing!" Xia Zhizhi, the unlucky child, rushed out from behind like a cannonball, bringing with her a gust of cold wind.

Wearing gloves, she scooped up a handful of snow from the hood of a car parked outside the yard, rolled it into a snowball, and threw it backwards, shouting, "Dongfanghong, fire!"

The snowball went straight towards Xia Bangguo's face behind him. Fortunately, Xia Bangguo was able to react quickly and stretched out his hand to block his face. The snowball hit the back of his hand, so he didn't embarrass himself in public.

Seeing that Xia Bangguo was hit, Xia Zhizhi happily made a biubiubiu gesture: "Launched successfully!"

Xia Bangguo frowned, glared at his granddaughter and scolded her: "Xia Zhizhi, stop messing around, it's not decent!"

Xia Zhizhi became unhappy immediately after being scolded in public. She pulled a pouty face, stomped her feet, twisted her arms, and snorted heavily.

Mr. Zhou always had a good temper and was very tolerant of his juniors. When he felt hungry during a meeting, he would bring some peanuts to fill his stomach and would also encourage the young comrades to kowtow a little.

Some young comrades are greedy and honest despite their young age. When they see him encouraging them, they will actually grab the peanuts and start eating them.

The young comrade is really honest. He is so tactless that he will inevitably be criticized by his leader.

Mr. Zhou was afraid that the young comrade was shy and would feel embarrassed, so he would help to excuse himself by saying, "The young comrade is in the growing period, he will get hungry quickly, he needs to eat more."

Especially at this time.

Mr. Zhou smiled and advised Xia Bangguo: "Old Xia, don't be so serious. Children should be more lively and jump around!"

The old man also stepped out of the house. Seeing Xia Zhizhi's childish and careless words, he said with emotion: "Well said. I hope our Dongfanghong launch will be successful in the new year!"

"Maybe I'll go to heaven next year!" Seeing that someone was speaking for her, Xia Zhizhi no longer felt any pain in her waist and her legs were no longer weak.

She immediately took advantage of him, used her index finger to make her nose look like a piggy nose, and then stuck out her tongue at Xia Bangguo, and taunted him, "Old-fashioned, lililili!"

Xia Bangguo: ...

What a bad kid!

Xia Zhizhi ignored him and started to say goodbye to the other elders.

Seeing her red face, Ms. Deng was afraid that she might catch a cold from the sudden change of temperature, so she tightened her scarf around her and stroked her fluffy head, saying softly, "Hurry up and get in the car. If you have time, come to play at grandma's house someday."

Xia Zhizhi nodded obediently, put her hand into Ms. Deng's arm, pulled her arm and shook it vigorously, shaking Mr. Zhou beside her along with her.

She pinched her throat, her voice as greasy as if she had just drunk a bowl of honey, and said sweetly: "Yes, yes, yes, of course I will go. I like Granny Deng the most!"

When the car started, I could hear the old man behind me complaining about her: "This child is like a calf, full of energy, and so noisy every day."

Ms. Deng worked for the Women's Federation and the Committee for the Protection of Children, and she loved children the most.

Although Xia Zhizhi is quite old and no longer a child, she is lively, cute and enthusiastic.

Like a brave little leopard, it rushes up to surround people and starts to roar and play. It is really hard for the elderly to refuse this one.

Deng Nutu sincerely sighed: "I really hope that all the children in our country can live a free and unfettered life like this child in the future."

Mr. Zhou shook her hand and said, "That day will come."

When we returned to Gongzhan Hutong, the Xia family was still sitting in the hall keeping watch.

The older ones gathered together, eating sunflower seeds and chatting about family matters.

Xia Zhizhi's cousin Xia Zhuoqun and cousin Xia Jingjing (who came to adopt them) were young and had no chance to chat with the adults, so they were hiding in the orange box and eating oranges.

Oranges are poisonous. Once you start eating them, you can't stop eating them one after another. They also make your face turn yellow if you eat too many.

When Xia Zhizhi and the others returned, the two children were sitting on a small stool quietly eating most of a box of oranges. When they saw her coming back, Xia Jingjing put down the oranges in her hand and ran over to greet her: "Sister Zhizhi, you're back. Grandma said we won't go back today. Let me squeeze in with you or Sister Qingqing. I want to sleep with you!"

Xia Zhizhi looked at the child's face and hands, which were a burnt yellow as if they had been dyed with turmeric water.

Look at Xia Zhuoqun again; he is still showing off in the frame.

Xia Zhizhi called him and he looked up in confusion.

Well, it's the same thing.

The Xia family's children all had fair skin, and it was particularly obvious after their faces suddenly turned yellow.

Xia Zhizhi advised him, "Don't eat it, don't eat it. You can't eat too much at once. Look at your faces changing after eating."

The Xia family's adults were busy chatting before, and the two children were quietly eating oranges behind their backs. They didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there was really nothing to pay attention to. The fruits were bought for the children to eat.

After hearing what they said, I took a closer look and noticed the expressions on the two children's faces.

The second aunt looked at the two yellow monkeys. She wanted to scold them with a stern face, but she also found it a little funny. She had to fetch some water and let the two children wash their hands and faces first to see if the stains could be washed off.
