Daya looked up at Chu Xinming, who was walking in front of her pushing a bicycle. Then she looked at the other Chu children who were younger than Xiaoni sitting on the bicycle. After thinking for a moment, she bent down and whispered to Xiaoni, "Xiaoni, this is our family bicycle. We usually have plenty of time to ride it. How about letting your younger siblings sit for a while? When we get home, I'll take you out for a ride?"
Xiao Ni nodded obediently, "Okay."
Daya smiled and touched her head, "You are so good. I bought you a hair ornament and will tie it up for you when I get home."
"Mother, mother..."
"mother····"
Xinxin and Pingping returned home. They threw their bags on the table under the eaves and started looking for Yao Xiujuan.
At this time, Mrs. Chu came slowly from the backyard, holding a basket in one hand and holding Lele in the other. She frowned at the two of them and said, "Why are you looking for your mother when you don't do your homework?"
Xinxin and Pingping hurried forward. Pingping picked up Lele, while Xinxin took the basket from Old Lady Chu.
"When we were in school, we already did our homework."
After saying that, Xinxin looked at the basket filled with sweet potatoes and asked in surprise, "Grandma, what are you doing with all those sweet potatoes?"
Mrs. Chu glanced at Lele, who was very well-behaved in Pingping's arms, and said with a smile, "Your sister wanted to eat sweet potato pancakes, so I thought of making some more..."
Xinxin said "Oh", then looked at Lele and said with a smile, "Lele is a little greedy cat."
Lele pouted, "No!"
"Grandma, let me peel it for you."
Xinxin chuckled, ran to the kitchen door with the basket, moved a chair, and started peeling the sweet potatoes.
Seeing that her sister ignored her, Lele held Pingping's hands in her hands unwillingly and looked at him eagerly, "Brother, Lele is not greedy."
Pingping nodded and coaxed the little sister, "Yeah, Lele is not greedy, it's just that there is a greedy cat living in Lele's belly, and she is greedy."
Lele nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "Yeah, it's Dudu who's greedy, not Lele."
Xinxin heard it, looked up at her little sister patting her belly with an expression that said she was right, and couldn't help but smile.
Pingping put her little sister on the ground and let her play by herself. She ran into the kitchen, took out a clean ceramic basin and placed it at Xinxin's feet. She looked at Old Mrs. Chu who was about to add water to the stove and asked.
"Grandma, where is my mother?"
Old Mrs. Chu replied without even looking up, "Your mother went to your great-grandmother's house and will probably be back soon."
As Xinxin peeled the fruit, she asked loudly, "Grandma, what is my mother doing at my great-grandma's house? Is my little cousin feeling unwell again?"
Old Mrs. Chu shook her head. "No, they are here. It's your great-grandmother who is making tomato sauce, and your mother went to help when she had nothing to do."
It's not Xinxin's fault for thinking too much. The main problem is Chu Jie's little girl, Chu Aidan, was not very big when she was born. In addition, Wang Meihua had not fed her well before, resulting in her being more than eight months old now, but she looks not as big as Lele was when she was five months old. Moreover, she is very prone to illness, especially during the autumn harvest, she has been sick for several times in a row.
By the way, Chu Jun's youngest son was born prematurely. At that time, everyone was afraid that he would not survive. However, unexpectedly, after a full month, the child changed every day. Now he is almost three months old and has gained a lot of weight. Although compared with a normal full-month-old baby, he is still a little thin, but it is already very good. With more care, he will be the same as a normal child.
Xinxin said "Oh", thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, we are going to see a movie tonight..."
"Go ahead, go early. I guess there will be a lot of people at night. You're small, so if you go late and sit in the back you won't be able to see."
As she spoke, Mrs. Chu looked at Pingping who was sitting behind the stove and gestured, "Pingping, it's time to start cooking."
After dinner, the four girls started calling out to Xinxin and Pingping. Old Mrs. Chu did not stop them, but instead took out a small bag she had sewn and filled it with about a pound of roasted sunflower seeds. She also used another small bag to fill it with some milk lumps and dried sweet potatoes she had dried, as well as two kettles of hot water, and asked the siblings to take them with them.
"Take Lele with you and don't run around. Your mother and I will go later."
Xinxin held the basket with the bag and the water bottle in one hand and held the naughty Lele in the other, assuring her, "Grandma, don't worry, we will take good care of Lele."
Old Madam Chu nodded and looked sideways at Pingping, who was struggling to hold a long bench in one hand and another in the other. After a moment's thought, she shouted at her great-grandson Chu Xinming who appeared at the gate, "Xinming, what are you standing there for? Can't you see that your cousin can't lift it? Come over and pick up these two stools!"
“·····”
Chu Xinming wanted to say that he was wronged. He had just arrived, so why was he standing there like an idiot? But no matter what he thought, he still had a smile on his face. He hurried into Chu Tian's yard and took two benches from Pingping.
"Grandma, we'll go first."
Mrs. Chu nodded with a stern face, "Well, you are the eldest brother, take good care of your younger siblings!"
Chu Xinming nodded repeatedly, and finally led his brothers and sisters towards the place where the movie was to be shown.
Chu Jie's eldest son, Chu Xinde, skipped and walked in front of Xinxin and the others, grinning playfully, "Oh, it seems being a big brother isn't easy. Look, every time Grandma scolds me, it's always Brother Xinming!"
His younger brother Xinhao blinked, thought for a moment and said, "That's why grandma always scolds you, brother, but never scolds me and my sister."
"...that's only in our family. Whenever Brother Xinming and the others are around, when have you ever seen grandma scold me?"
Although it was a bit hurtful, Chu Xinde still refuted it unconvinced.
Xinxin covered her mouth and smiled, "Xinde, you are still naughty and disobedient. Look, grandma never scolds me and Heping!"
Chu Xinde curled his lips upon hearing this and sneered, "In Grandma's eyes, you and Uncle Shi are the most precious things. Even if you're covered in poop, you're still the most precious things. She won't scold you! I think in Grandma's heart, you're the real great-grandchildren. We're all adopted children!"
Xinxin, "..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xinming shifted the two stools he was holding onto one hand, strode over to him, and smacked him on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about? Xinxin and Pingping are just better behaved people than you!"
"If you keep talking about Grandma behind her back, I'll tell my uncle and have him take care of you!"
Chu Xinde shouted proudly, covering his head that was hurt by Chu Xinming's blow with one hand, and yelled dissatisfiedly, "Brother, why did you hit me! I didn't say anything wrong!"
Seeing that he was still refutating, Chu Xinming hit him twice again and stared at him coldly.
"Xinde, I think your skin is really itchy!"
Seeing that Brother Xinming was serious, Chu Xinde quickly took two steps back in fear.
