Snow was falling, and a car parked in front of the "Tianjingdi Hua Pet Paradise" in a village in Daxing. When the car door opened, it was Yao Yuan's family of three.
"Uncle Yu!"
"Ouch, slow down, slow down!"
Yu Qian quickly squatted down, hugged Yao Xiaobao who rushed over, and exclaimed: "Oh, this kid has already caught up with me!"
"Yeah, we both worry all day long, what will we do when we grow to 2 meters in the future?"
"Then just become an athlete. Xiaobao's physique is very good. It's up to you. If you really want to win glory for the country in the future, that's an honor. He's no worse than you."
Bai Huiming also came over and reached out to take Yao Xiaobao. Yao Xiaobao put his arms around her neck and said sweetly: "Auntie, you are still so beautiful!"
One sentence coaxed Bai Huiming to tremble. She is 40 years old this year, but she is still plump and young, with eyes like a little girl.
Yu Qian started to look older, with more wrinkles and bags under his eyes. After all, he was 50 years old, and he was a heavy drinker, and it all showed up on his face as he aged.
Yao Xiaobao has met them many times, but when he was young, he had no memory. Now he is sensible and knows that these are close friends and relatives of his parents.
Bai Huiming hugged her for a while and then put her down. It was too big to hold. The group of people walked in and asked, "Why didn't you bring the younger one here? I thought he and Xiaobao would get to know each other."
"It brings trouble. That kid is so noisy and annoying."
Yu Qian has two sons. The younger son was born in 2013 and is one year older than Yao Xiaobao. Yin Yin just asked. Seeing that Bai Huiming was vague, she stopped asking. She also felt that Yu Qian and his wife were overthinking, maybe because they were afraid that the two children would not be together.
Dealing with it will be embarrassing.
The group visited the zoo in the fine snow, and Yao Xiaobao also rode a mini horse. Today, there are more types of animals, including giant pandas and golden monkeys.
Yao Yuan didn't have many true friends, but Yu Qian was always one of them, and the two parties met from time to time.
After going back to the house after shopping, it was still the same as before. The two gentlemen were preparing to cook. Yinyin and Bai Huiming were chatting about home affairs in the back room, saying: "After the Spring Festival, I will send her to the northeast."
"What for? Experience life?"
"That's right. We both feel that she is a little out of touch with the masses, does not know the grain, and needs to go to the countryside for reform. Her grandparents are with her in Yao Yuan's hometown."
"A rural area?"
"In a small county town, find a local kindergarten for her and stay there for a year and a half before returning. Next year she should go to elementary school."
"You two are too tired to raise children..."
Bai Huiming shook her head and said: "It seems that there is always some task. I think it's good to just let nature take its course. You see, the two of us have never made any deliberate plans, and they are fine now."
Yinyin sighed and said: "Well, we have such a large family business. If the heirs don't take good care of themselves, how can they safely take over? What's more, this is our first time and we have no experience."
"Speaking of which, how do you feel about your pregnancy?"
"It's much better. I can handle most of them myself. After all, what happens once is once again familiar."
"Do you know whether it's a boy or a girl?"
"I didn't ask, but my gut feeling is that it's a boy."
The two of them talked about each other, and the food was prepared there. It was very suitable for today's weather. It was snowing, so it was necessary to eat stew in an iron pot. Small portions, fish stew in one pot, and goose stew in another pot.
Yu Qian opened a bottle of wine as usual, and Yao Yuan smiled and said: "You are getting older and you need to be more restrained. The bags under your eyes are droopy."
"Life is only a few decades, so why be so restrained? Just do whatever you want without breaking the rules, just follow the principles in your heart, nothing else matters... Come on, have a drink!"
He poured wine for several people, and Yao Xiaobao got a bowl of heated almond milk.
While eating and drinking, Yao Yuan also mentioned something: "Bring your little one here next time, there will be a lot of people."
"Okay, okay, I have something to do today, but I'll do it next time!"
The couple had already said it, but Yu Qian couldn't handle it, so he agreed smoothly and said, "By the way, there's something I don't know if you know. I heard that this area is going to be demolished?"
"There is a saying that Daxing Airport has been built and will be opened this year. There must be some supporting facilities around it."
"Should we dismantle it or not?"
"Let me ask."
Yao Yuan immediately made a phone call and finally said: "Not only the zoo, but this village will be demolished and a free trade zone building will be built."
"Hey, this zoo has been here for many years, it would be a pity to demolish it!" Bai Huiming was reluctant to part with it.
"There is no way. We know the national policy, so we can find a place in advance...Hey, how much do you think we can pay for the demolition fee?" Yu Qian asked.
"For such a big garden, let's say at least 100 million."
Yao Yuan appraised it and said with a smile: "I'm quite familiar with Miyun, so I'd like to ask if I can get some land."
"Of course you have to ask, you have a stake in this zoo! Come on, have a drink!"
Yao Yuan did not hesitate to indulge in this kind of party. The two of them drank three bottles of white wine and took a nap on the fire bed.
Yao Xiaobao saw the fire kang for the first time. He took off his socks and jumped because they were so hot.
…………
In the blink of an eye, Yao Xiaobao took his winter vacation to prepare for the New Year.
Yao Yuan arranged some affairs for the year before. There was one thing he personally planned. This year is the 100th anniversary of the May 4th Movement. There will definitely be a series of activities. He is also planning to do it on a small scale and shoot a promotional video.
This idea came to him because he suddenly remembered a famous short film on Station B, "The Back Wave"!
This was launched by Station B on the eve of the May 4th Youth Day in 2020. He Bing gave a speech and sent a message to the younger generation. The influence is quite large, and the word "houlang" was officially used.
However, the video of "Hou Lang" is very controversial. Some people praise it, and some people ridicule it, saying that it is selling chicken soup, has a strong daddy tone, is preachy, and is untrue.
"What you describe is just the situation of young people with superior material conditions: they skydive, play Cosplay, like Hanfu, photography and diving. Only with good looks and beautiful clothes and angry horses can they have the right to enjoy a free life, and more people
Still struggling for survival..."
Yao Yuan has also watched the video. How can I put it this way? If he were seventeen or eighteen years old, he might be very excited, but unfortunately he has entered middle age and his heart is still.
He thought of "Back Wave" because he used this video as a counterexample to prevent his own short film from overturning.
"A message to young people" got off to the wrong start.
Today’s young people hate being sent messages!
…
"Today is February 4th, Monday, the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, and it also coincides with the Beginning of Spring. "Xinwen Lianbo" wishes you New Year's greetings!"
In the big villa in Sanya, before it was time to make dumplings and watch the Spring Festival Gala, her parents were playing mahjong, Yinyin was still sleeping, and Yao Yuan was watching TV with Yao Xiaobao in his arms.
Gang Qiang wore a Chinese tunic suit, and Hai Xia wore a red short Tang suit, making it very festive. Although the taste of the year is not as good as each year, this gene is engraved in the bones.
Yao Yuan didn't say anything, and Yao Xiaobao stayed with his father obediently.
When the previous major events were finished, the screen turned and a huge steel beast appeared on the screen, followed by another trailer clip.
"The science fiction masterpiece "The Wandering Earth" will be released in theaters across the country tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year. The film tells..."
Hai Xia briefly introduced the theme of "The Wandering Earth", and the screen kept switching. After a while, it changed to the next news item.
"..."
Yao Yuan looked at his watch, 32 seconds.
(No more...
Thanks to the cute owner who is very happy...
The blocked group has been unblocked, and I am collecting the names of the second child by the way)
