When they went over, they saw three children surrounding Xiao Li Tuan'er. Some were patting him while he was sleeping, while others were touching his hands and feet to comfort him as he slept. The whole scene was warm and soft.
Chen Bai tiptoed to Qian Yin to stay out of the room and not to speak. Then he quickly turned around and returned with his camera.
Seeing this, Qian Yin quickly moved aside to make room for his father-in-law Chen Bai to take pictures.
This silent understanding and thoughtfulness made Chen Bai very satisfied.
A few shutter sounds were heard, and Dadan, Erdan and Qian Duoshu all looked over, bewildered and dazed, which was very funny.
Taking advantage of their confused looks, Chen Bai pressed the shutter button again and again.
Erdan came over and said, "Grandpa, let me see."
Chen Bai bent down slightly to show him.
Erdan looked at us silently for a while, then looked up and said, "Grandpa, did you take a picture of us that made us look a little silly?"
"How cute." Chen Bai was very satisfied. He was afraid that he would break it, so he quickly took the camera back.
Then he asked him, "Is Xiaoli Tuaner asleep?"
"Yeah." Erdan nodded, his voice a little softer. "I got tired of tossing and turning, so I fell asleep."
Chen Bai had long known that Xiaoli Tuan'er was easy to take care of. When the little guy wanted to sleep, he would fall asleep on his own without needing to be coaxed, and he would not cry and look for Su Qinghu.
He went over to take a look and saw that the children had covered Xiao Lituan'er with a quilt tightly, so he asked them to go out and closed the door lightly, leaving a gap of four fingers wide so that he could keep an eye on the child.
Ms. Meng was already setting up the table in the living room. Seeing a few people coming out of the bedroom, she glanced at them and casually asked, "Did you block the bed with a quilt?"
Chen Bai: “???”
"Little Li Tuan'er is trying to turn over." Ms. Meng gave Chen Bai a speechless look and hurried over to them. "If you don't block the edge of the bed, the child will wake up and turn over, and he'll probably fall off the bed."
The more she spoke, the tighter her brows furrowed.
Chen Bai knew he was in the wrong, so he returned to the bedroom before Ms. Meng, took out another quilt that had been dried in the sun before the New Year, and placed it on the edge of the bed.
Only then did Ms. Meng feel a little better.
Dadan and Erdan looked at each other, feeling a little guilty.
Just now... they didn't expect this...
Qian Duoshu looked here, then there, and asked, "Will my brother crawl out?"
Can that quilt really block him?
Ms. Meng couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "My brother can't crawl yet."
Qian Duoshu was relieved, "When my brother can crawl, grandma will block all the edges of the bed."
"Okay." Ms. Meng rubbed his head. "Grandma will remember it."
Qian Yin and Chen Bai took their three children to wash their hands, while Ms. Meng went back to the kitchen to help set the table.
Chen Yan helped silently.
If it weren't for the holidays and so many requests, she really wouldn't want to come here.
Every time she came here, it felt like torture. She felt uncomfortable everywhere, and she felt that her family didn't like her...
Su Qinghu had no intention of helping Chen Yan ease her discomfort. Firstly, there was no need to do so, and secondly, even if he spoke up, would the awkwardness no longer exist?
Instead of awkward conversation, it's better to just enjoy the quiet atmosphere. At least, she doesn't feel awkward or uncomfortable.
When the food was served, the three children's eyes lit up when they saw the fried banana segments and candied apples in front of them.
Although eating meat is the right thing to do during the Chinese New Year, both Su Qinghu and Qian Yin's family are not short of money, and they usually don't lack meat for their children, so they are still very excited to see sweet things during the Chinese New Year, especially if they like them.
"Thank you, aunt!" Qian Duoshu was very happy. He sat obediently on the stool and looked up at Su Qinghu with a sweet smile.
Erdan: "Hey, these are all our favorites!"
The refreshing smell of apples and the warm and sweet smell of caramel filled the nostrils of the children. Dadan was fine, but Erdan and Qian Duoshu were already looking at Ms. Meng and Chen Bai eagerly.
Everyone knows that once the food is served, they can only start eating after the elders pick up their chopsticks.
Chen Bai and Ms. Meng smiled and picked up their chopsticks, picking up the mutton and cabbage in front of them and eating them. Before Chen Bai swallowed it, he raised his chopsticks and called to the children, "Eat, eat."
The meal was not very warm, but it was quite harmonious.
After dinner, Ms. Meng didn't let Su Qinghu and Chen Yan wash the dishes. She asked them to go to the living room to rest or play with the children.
Su Qinghu naturally went to the living room and played with the children. I don't know who started it, but someone suggested going to the canteen.
One big and three small ones hit it off immediately and moved their positions directly.
Coming out of the canteen, everyone was holding the most popular toys or other things in their hands.
"You can't eat this, understand?" Su Qinghu looked at Qian Duoshu worriedly and demonstrated to him, "If you can blow bubbles like me, don't throw away the candy wrapper. When it tastes a little bitter, spit it out on the candy wrapper, wrap it up, and then throw it away."
"Hmm." It was Qian Duoshu's first time touching bubble gum. He looked at the big bubbles blown by Su Qinghu with amazement, and tried hard to imitate her movements and blew bubbles seriously.
Seeing him fail, Erdan laughed to death, "You have to do this, and do this again."
He demonstrated while popping the bubbles he blew, looking down at him condescendingly, "Do you understand?"
"Okay, I understand." Qian Duoshu was not a stupid kid, and he finally succeeded this time.
Erdan: "You've never eaten this?"
"Yeah." Qian Duoshu answered while curiously trying to blow bigger bubbles, "My parents and grandparents don't allow me to eat this. Grandma said she's afraid the bubble gum will get stuck in my intestines..."
Su Qinghu listened to Qian Duoshu's words and smiled inwardly. As expected, every child's inevitable journey was the well-intentioned tactics of their parents.
When she was a child, she ate bubble gum and her parents scared her, saying that if she swallowed it, her intestines would get stuck.
"Fool." Erdan patted Qian Duoshu's head, his eyes full of pity. "Your grandma lied to you."
He accidentally swallowed some bubble gum once, but nothing happened.
Qian Duoshu raised his head and smiled at Erdan, "I understand now."
"Oh right." Erdan looked at the tiny creature in front of him and said disdainfully, "Didn't you eat? Why are you still so short?"
I completely forgot how I was anxiously trying to grow taller.
Qian Duoshu sneered at Erdan for the first time, "I'm not short."
Erdan sneered, and let him feel it himself under the subdued look.
"..." Qian Duoshu pursed his lips, "Dad said that he and Mom are not short, and I won't be short either. I just grew up later."
"Okay, okay, I know you're growing up late." Erdan received Su Qinghu's warning look and decided not to bully the little one until he cried. "You, can you skate?"
He looked at Qian Duoshu, sizing him up and down, hmm... should he practice on him first so that he can teach Xiaoli Tuaner how to skate later?
