Su Qinghu was not at all shy at her in-laws' house, doing whatever she was supposed to do, just as if she were at home. She was at ease, and so were Ms. Meng and Chen Bai, and they spoke and acted freely and comfortably.
So even cooking was done by three adults and three little kids.
After the meal was prepared in a lively atmosphere and everyone enjoyed it to their heart's content, Erdan shouted for silence. After passionately expressing his admiration for his grandfather, he took out his own red scarf and said he wanted to tie it on him.
Chen Bai felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but smile. He lowered his head and let the child tie it for him. When he saw the child saluting him, he quickly saluted him.
Dadan looked at the red scarf in his brother's hand in disbelief, and he couldn't get the letter out of his pocket.
Erdan handed the letter he wrote to Chen Bai, which was filled with another bunch of cheesy words.
After he finished speaking, he waved behind him, "Brother, hurry up!"
Dadan took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, I wish you a happy National Day. You always say that a strong youth makes a strong country. I am celebrating by getting first place on the quiz after skipping a grade!"
As he spoke, he folded the letter twice on the ground.
"Grandpa, there's me too!" Qian Duoshu stood on tiptoe, stretched out his arm and handed over the new book. "Thank you and many other grandparents for your hard work for our peace!"
Three children, three letters, and what the children said made the old man, who was embarrassed at first, tear up slightly.
He quietly calmed himself down, then smiled and said, "If you study hard and serve the country well, then we, the older generation, will feel at ease."
Holding the letter, the old man wanted to read it very much, but he was afraid that the child's childish and sincere writing would make him emotionally unstable, so he held back and did not read it.
But if I don't look at it, I can't help it, and I feel a little restless.
"Grandpa, wait until we're gone before you see." Erdan sighed, looked him in the eyes, and said, "I'm afraid you'll cry in front of us."
He glanced at Dadan, then at Qian Duoshu. "Alas, I'm not saying this, but besides me, there's no one in our family who can comfort you. My brother has grown up this year and is quieter now. He only thinks about studying. Duoduo... Duoduo is too young. Apart from studying, he knows nothing else. There's no way he can comfort you."
"No one else can be relied upon, so I'm the only one left." Erdan sighed, feeling a heavy responsibility. "But you're an adult, how can I comfort you?"
If a child cries, he can buy a few candies for ten cents and he can solve the problem. If an adult cries, what can he do? The adult has more money and more connections than him to get good things. There is no way to comfort the child!
"So, Grandpa, please wait until we're gone before you tell me." Erdan said bluntly, "I haven't figured out how to coax an adult like you yet."
Su Qinghu was chuckling beside him, but before he could finish his laugh, Erdan's eyes drifted over.
she:"???"
Is there nothing going on with her right now?
Erdan shook his head like a little adult, "My mom is easy to coax."
Accompany her shopping, stay at home quietly with her, play games with her, spend money with her, and if that doesn’t work, you can also let her play with his dad!
In short, as long as you think quickly, you can coax people into submission quickly.
Of course, while you're trying to coax people, you also have to be vigilant to avoid being tricked...
Su Qinghu: "No,... I'm not that easy to coax, am I?"
"My dad." Erdan smiled, "Ask my dad to comfort you!"
This is a sure-win move.
Su Qinghu was silent. Was she usually so obvious in her behavior?
Not really?
While she was still reflecting on herself, several children had already gathered in front of Ms. Meng.
Ms. Meng was shy but also expectant. "And... there's also mine?"
"Of course!" Erdan opened his eyes wide. "You and my grandfather both served in the military, so how could you be left out?"
This time, Dadan took the lead, speaking the truth one by one and then handing in the letter paper.
Erdan said, "Grandma, I only have one red scarf, which I gave to Grandpa. But my brother also has one, so I'll ask him to tie it for you."
While Dadan was in disbelief, Erdan took out a red scarf from his pocket and handed it to him, urging him, "Brother, hurry up!"
Dadan looked at his only red scarf, took a deep breath, took it, tied it solemnly for Ms. Meng, and then saluted with the Young Pioneers salute.
Let's leave it like this for now, and ask for it back when we go back later. Otherwise, I won't be able to wear it to school tomorrow, and if the discipline committee catches me, they'll deduct points for civility...
Erdan didn’t know what his brother was thinking, nor did he know whether his brother was happy or not, but he was quite happy anyway.
"Duoduo, have you prepared any gifts for grandma and grandpa?"
Erdan asked righteously, but the smile on his lips looked like a big-tailed wolf.
Qian Duoshu was also confused. "If I use skipping a grade as a gift to congratulate my grandparents, I won't be able to be in the same class with my second brother anymore..."
He didn't want to skip a grade and go to a higher grade. He wanted to get out of school and play with his second brother.
Erdan: “…”
Qian Duoshu, this little guy, is really full of evil intentions. Look at what he just said, it's like killing two birds with one stone.
Skipping a grade as a gift...is this a reference to my brother?
From now on, you can’t be in the same class with your second brother... Is this referring to him?
"Haha, how can you be so sure that you can skip a grade?" Erdan wanted to stand in a bohemian and freedom-loving posture, shaking his legs to express his disdain, but he was frozen by a gaze just as he moved.
The new mother is looking at him!
Erdan tensed his restless legs and feet and looked at little Qian Duoshu with a forced smile.
Qian Duoshu was also honest. "My dad knows the teachers at school, so they always give me a copy of any new test papers. I took a quiz last time, and it was the same as my older brother's, and I got full marks."
Full marks in mathematics, not full marks in other subjects.
Erdan felt that not only his mouth was twitching, but his cheeks were also about to twitch.
Pressing my cheek, he smiled, "Oh, really? Then you're pretty amazing. If you're so amazing, why don't you skip a grade?"
He was so angry!
She actually studied secretly behind his back!
Little Qian Duoshu shook his head and said, "I want to go to and from school with my second brother."
Su Qinghu looked at the two children, one clinging to her while the other was trying to avoid her, and she almost rolled over with laughter in her heart.
"Dad, can we see your medals?" Seeing that the child's attention was no longer on whether to give gifts, Su Qinghu asked, "If possible, can you tell us the stories behind these medals?"
"The children want to listen." Su Qinghu added at the end.
Dadan and Erdan looked at her.
Su Qinghu looked back innocently.
Seeing her like this, Dadan and Erdan nodded at the same time without even looking at each other.
Erdan: ...Yeah, yeah, they really want to hear this stuff, but it’s not what they want to hear at all.
Su Qinghu smiled and touched the two men's heads, expressing his satisfaction with their tact.
