Zhao Yong sent Mo Yang away, and when he looked back, he saw his wife lying on the sofa, her eyes blank, as if her soul was out of body.
He walked forward funny, put away the plan book left by Mo Yang on the coffee table, put it on her dressing table in the master bedroom, and took out a blanket to cover her, "A holiday is a holiday, you can make up for it on the sofa.
After I slept, I made breakfast. After finishing it, I woke up Nian Nian, and we continued to go shopping to buy New Year goods."
Li Manjun didn't say a word, but silently covered himself with a thick blanket, closed his eyes, and laid it out.
Zhao Yong only thought his wife's depressed look was cute, so he resisted the urge to pinch her face, put on a thick cotton-padded jacket, and put on an apron to make breakfast.
Aunt Guo was as attentive as Sister Zhou. Before she left, she and Liu Juying packed up the dishes that the family of three might eat during the New Year and put them in the refrigerator. Zhao Yong only had to take them out and put them in the pot.
The dishes are all prepared, and even if Li Manjun, who doesn't cook much, makes them, it would be difficult to flip the pot.
Every year I wake up to the delicious smell of rice. The air conditioner is on at home so I don’t feel cold. The little girl crawls beside the bed in a daze. After relaxing for a while, she rolls off the bed. She doesn’t need slippers. She goes barefoot and wears pajamas toward the living room.
Come.
Zhao Yong took out the last dish from the kitchen and stared at his daughter.
Every year he touches his belly and smashes his mouth.
Zhao Yong put down the dishes, pointed at Li Manjun who was sleeping on the sofa, and made a shushing gesture to his daughter.
Nian Nian turned around and saw her mother sleeping on the sofa. She opened her eyes wide in surprise, then turned around and asked her father in a low voice: "Mom?"
Why does mom sleep on the sofa?
Zhao Yong hurriedly silenced his daughter, picked up the little one, went back to her room, dressed and combed her hair, and tidied up before taking her out.
Nian Nian grabbed his father's finger and pointed at a pair of hairpins on his small table.
"Which one do you want to wear?" Zhao Yong asked tentatively.
Nian Nian nodded vigorously, "Yeah."
Zhao Yong had no choice but to walk back and pick up the hairpin. It was the kind of hairpin with a wig, curly hair, which is very popular now, and it looks like a doll.
But Zhao Yong felt that it was completely unnecessary for Li Manjun to buy this thing for his daughter.
Look at his daughter's thick hair. It looks like a natural afro if it's not tied tightly. I don't know if it will become softer in the future.
To wear a wig with hairpins, one had to comb two hairpins. Looking at Nian Nian's expectant expression, Zhao Yong had to remove the ponytail he had just tied, comb two new hairpins, and then clip one hairpin on each side of the wig.
Nian Nian was so satisfied that before her father could finish cleaning up, she immediately rushed out of the room, went to the bathroom, stepped on her own special stool, and looked pretty in front of the mirror.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
Li Manjun got up, stood by the bathroom door, and asked her daughter, who was obsessed with her beauty, funny, "Do you like it?"
"Mom!" Nian Nian turned around in surprise, and when he saw his mother, he immediately opened his arms to give her a hug.
Li Manjun picked her up lovingly, kissed her little face, and then admired her curly-haired daughter who had turned into a doll. She nodded heavily, "It's really good."
Nian Nian carefully touched his wig and told his mother, "I like it Nian Nian, and my mother still buys it."
With such a simple request, Li Manjun naturally agreed, "Okay, let's finish breakfast later and go shopping on the street. If we meet a better-looking wig and hairpins, I'll buy a pair for Nian Nian."
For this reason, I happily eat half a bowl of rice every year.
After eating, I ran to the door, took out the boots from the shoe cabinet and put them on. I stood at the door and urged my parents, "Let's go shopping!"
Li Manjun found a handsome dark coat for Zhao Yong and asked him to wear it.
While Zhao Yong said that it was inconvenient to go shopping in a coat, he also said that he was handsome and invincible.
"Dad, you are so beautiful, so shameless~" Nian Nian made a face at her father and scratched her face twice with her little finger, learning all about her grandmother's weird look.
Li Manjun deliberately looked serious, "Zhao Jianing, you can't be rude to dad."
Nian Nian shrank his neck, bared his teeth and gave a fake smile to please his mother.
Li Manjun nodded at her, "Don't do this next time."
Nian Nian subconsciously put down his little hands and stood at the door obediently, not daring to say a word.
Zhao Yong saw his daughter's cowardly look and almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He quickly turned his back, and then turned back with a straight face after laughing to ease the atmosphere between mother and daughter.
The little episode passed and the family of three went out happily.
Li Manjun was going to the mall to buy New Year gifts for his family and brought good wine to Li Dawei. Thinking that drinking white wine every year would be nothing new, he bought two bottles of red wine back this year.
One bottle was given to her father as a filial piety, and one bottle was taken to her hometown in the countryside so that everyone could try foreign products together.
Because she only bought some clothes for Wang Xiaojuan on New Year's Day, this time Li Manjun specially selected a set of gold and jade jewelry so that she could match her clothes when she brought them back, and it would also make it easier for her mother to show off.
Li Lijun also came back from school, and Li Manjun prepared a pair of headphones for her so that she could continue to listen to her idol's songs.
"Can't Jianjun come back for the Chinese New Year?" Zhao Yong suddenly thought of his brother-in-law and became concerned.
Li Manjun nodded, "You are not allowed to go home for the first two years, but I just received a letter from him, saying that he is doing well in the army, so let's not worry about it. He also said that their army is very lively during the New Year, making dumplings by themselves, and doing art.
Show.”
Hearing what his wife said, Zhao Yong was no longer worried, and was a little envious, "It seems that life in the army is also rich and colorful."
Li Manjun handed her daughter to Zhao Yong and walked into a men's clothing store.
Although the army had food and clothing, Li Manjun felt a little sad when she thought about how young Li Jianjun was spending the New Year alone in the army, and it was the first time he was so far away from home.
She wanted to buy him a set of warm clothes and send them there, as well as some long-lasting local specialties. There would be no snacks to eat in the army. She hoped that when training was the most uncomfortable, he could taste the taste of home and continue to persevere.
Li Manjun went to choose warm clothes, while Zhao Yong took his daughter to choose New Year clothes in the children's clothing store next door.
What children look forward to most is the Chinese New Year, because they can wear new clothes and eat delicious food.
My family's conditions are good now, and I have no shortage of food and drinks every year, but I can't eat whenever I want or eat whatever I want.
Li Manjun won't let her eat more candies for fear of damaging her teeth, so she looks forward to the holidays every year. During the holidays, she can eat as much as she wants without her mother telling her.
Because when my mother talks about it, my grandparents will say: "Don't talk about the children during the Chinese New Year."
Then, you can enjoy it every year, put all the candies you want in your pocket, and take them whenever you want.
Seeing her father taking her into the children's store, she felt so happy every year. She was very cooperative. When her father asked her to try on clothes, she opened her little hands and asked him to help her try them on.
Zhao Yong was reluctant to buy things for himself, especially clothes, which he thought were useless.
But as long as my daughter and wife like it, that’s one word, buy it!
