The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the day when Qiyu’s family and Guan Shouheng’s family get together.
Over the years, this habit has been maintained. The gathering place has been rotated between the two families. This year, it is the turn to have dinner at Guan Shouheng's house.
The dining location was chosen outdoors, and everyone was preparing to hold a barbecue party.
In this season, the weather in Xihai is neither hot nor cold, the sunshine is warm, and the festive atmosphere is strong, so everyone's interest is even higher.
"Prepare more asparagus and bacon rolls, and they must be the freshest! Just the tips of the bamboo shoots, nothing else!" Qi Yu still plays a big role in other people's homes, only talking and not working, and he also asks a lot.
Wu Yinan couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was so frustrated. She had trained this man for so many years, but there was still no progress!
Qi Yu quickly forced out a smile to please his wife, "That's your favorite!"
Wu Yinan's face turned slightly red, and she said in a low voice, "Really! We're already an old couple, why are you so stupid?"
Qi Yu disagreed, "How can I be very old? Everyone says I look like I am thirty years old!"
"..." Looking at his overly handsome face, Wu Yinan had nothing to say.
This man really deserves to be punished by God, he is completely retarded! She now has to do maintenance once a week, otherwise she will lose to him accidentally!
"Mint, do you have some cucumber? I want to apply it on my face."
"Honey, can you stop being so frugal? Where is the new facial mask I bought for you abroad?"
"I've done some research, and the main ingredient of that facial mask is cucumber water. Don't spend money randomly in the future, remember?"
"Remember, remember." Qi Yu quickly assured.
"You said the same thing last month! But I received the bank statement yesterday and your credit card overspent again. Please explain!"
"..."
On the side, Mint watched the intimate interaction between the two and couldn't help but snicker. Nannan is really happy! Just like her!
"Guan Shouheng, can you come here alone? Do you want my help?"
Guan Shouheng, who was preparing the charcoal fire and various ingredients, was very busy, but he was still very considerate of his wife and said gently, "No, just go and sit down and rest."
Mint sighed sweetly. She has heard this sentence for many years. She has always been a "leisure" wife!
"If you are really bored, just go and feed Snowball." Guan Shouheng arranged an excellent task for his beloved wife.
Before Mint could answer, the named pet immediately ran over. A white puppy ran up to Mint, looking at her with its big black eyes, and wagging its tail coquettishly.
Snowball is the descendant of Xiaobai's descendant and a new member of the family.
Back then, she was forced by life to sell Xiaobai. She thought she would never see it again in her life, but on her first birthday after her wedding to Guan Shouheng, he gave her a huge surprise.
.
After many twists and turns, he bought Xiaobai back. Although Xiaobai was no longer young at that time and was even too old to walk, to her, he was still as cute and precious as before.
Destiny is like a circle, from the starting point to the end, there will be reunion.
She remembered that on the night when she ran away with him from the birthday party, she took Xiaobai to his small attic.
As time goes by, time cannot go back to the past, but the taste of happiness becomes stronger.
He brought back not only Xiaobai, but also Xiaobai's descendants...
So many years have passed and Xiaobai is no longer there, but there is still Snowball now.
Love is like water, pure and sweet. Love is like wine, the longer it is, the more mellow it becomes.
Sharing the happiness of life with the one you love is a gift.

Beibei and Xiaolu were sent to the supermarket by their adults. They quickly bought drinks and beer, but Beibei did not intend to go home directly.
"Sister Beibei, do you want to buy anything else?" Xiao Lu asked curiously.
There is not much to see in this supermarket! She would rather go back and surf the Internet early.
That stinky Jiang Cheng has been stealing vegetables from her vegetable garden recently. She must find an opportunity to steal them back!
That guy has been against her since childhood, but the two of them have been in the same school and even in the same class since kindergarten!
He grabs everything from her, so annoying!
She has been partial to science since she was a child. She only likes science and does not like liberal arts. Her father dotes on her and never forces her to do anything. He only tells her to study what she is interested in. So she becomes more and more partial, such as politics.
Only 30 or 40 points will be taken.
But later, her mother said that she should have a balanced development of arts and sciences and asked her to get at least 60 points or above in the exam. She thought about it and at least passed it, so that the transcript would look prettier, so she started working hard and endorsed it seriously every day.
.
Hard work pays off, she scored 99 points in the last political exam!
What? Impossible? Of course it is possible! She, Xiaolu, is not an ordinary person. She just didn’t work hard before! Not to mention 99 points, even 100 points is no problem. Next time she will try to get a perfect score!
However, just as she had set her ambitions, she heard the teacher read out another person's name. That damn Jiang Cheng was one step ahead of her, and this time he got 100 points!
Suddenly, her 99 points seemed to have no sense of existence.
He, he, he...he definitely did it on purpose! He had always only scored 20 or 30 points in the exam before! Why did he suddenly make a qualitative leap this time?
He simply wanted to steal her halo on purpose!
Also, the last time the whole class went out for an outing, she forgot to bring her water bottle. The other boys were all vying to give her their own water to drink, but he was the only one who wouldn't let her go. Moreover, he was alarmist, saying that he could use other people's water as he pleased.
Drinking water from a kettle may transmit hepatitis B.
Damn it! He is the only one who has hepatitis B! No, he is a black heart!
With the determination to "die together, we must die together", she simply snatched his water bottle and drank most of the bottle into her mouth.
"I want to buy Duoduo a New Year's gift, Xiaolu, let's go to the shopping mall upstairs to have a look?" Beibei suggested.
"Ah? Oh, okay!" Xiao Lu quickly suppressed her anger.
The two of them stored their things and then headed to the large shopping plaza above the supermarket.
"By the way, Sister Beibei, didn't Brother Xia come back to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"No..." Beibei sounded a little disappointed, "Since Grandma Xia passed away, he moved out of my house. Later he went to England and rarely came back. He hasn't come to my house to celebrate the New Year in three years. Mom and Dad
I invited him several times, but he always said he was too busy with work."
"He started working? Didn't he study in Cambridge before?"
"Yes, but he stayed in school and will specialize in academic research in the future!" Beibei said with admiration.
"Wow! So you are a scientist? Can you win the Nobel Prize? Sister Beibei, please help me get an autograph first!" Little Green said excitedly.
Beibei sighed in frustration. It was difficult for her to see him now!
***
In the parking lot at the entrance of the supermarket, Wuyou and An An were sitting in the car, waiting to help Beibei and Xiao Lu move their things.
"Why haven't you come out yet?" An An looked at the time and thought it was almost time, but the two little girls hadn't come out yet.
"It must be that Xiaolu is just having fun, and she's gone to watch the excitement somewhere else!" Wuyou was also a little anxious, looked at the time, and muttered, "This stinky girl hasn't come out yet? I have something to do later!"
"
An An glanced at him, "You haven't finished Madoka yet?"
Wuyou was so depressed that he wanted to cry, "Now it's not just the problem of not being able to solve her problem, it's also the problem of her whole family, especially her eldest brother!"
"..." An Anmo did not intend to comfort.
This is entirely his own fault and he has no one to blame!
"No, I'll go to her house again! Beibei and Xiaolu have been left to you, I'll take the first step!" Wuyou couldn't wait any longer and said in a magpie's nest, "Let me drive your car first.
, you, Beibei, and Xiaolu will take a taxi back later!"
An An was speechless. If they had to carry drinks and beer back later, would it be more convenient to drive by themselves? Wouldn't it be better for him to take a taxi there alone?
"Oh, my proposal is more important! Just do one good deed that day, and you will be rewarded! That's it, bye!" Wuyou forced An An to get out of the car.
An An couldn't laugh or cry, it seemed that Wuyou was really anxious this time.
He sighed with a smile, turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the supermarket, planning to wait there for Beibei and Xiaolu.
There were many people coming and going at the door. He raised his head inadvertently and saw a slender figure flashing past among the crowd.
"..." He opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to call someone, but before he could make a sound, the figure disappeared again.
He didn't think much and went after it intuitively.
However, after he rushed into the crowd, he searched everywhere, front and back, left and right, but could not see that figure again.
A sigh.
Feeling lost.
***
Wuyou felt that he was really lucky today. Only her parents were at Xiaoyuan's house, and her two brothers had accompanied her sister-in-law back to her parents' house, which reduced his pressure a lot.
Xiao Yuan's parents liked him very much, so after he sent two New Year gift boxes, he also wished the two elderly people a happy new year, and then came to Xiao Yuan's room smoothly.
This room is still the same one she had before. Although it has been redecorated, it looks smaller than before. The area has not been reduced, just because there are more things.
On the bed, on the table, on the floor, there are children's belongings everywhere, small clothes, small pants, small shoes, small toys... They all belong to her cute little niece.
"Well, this is for the little one." Wuyou handed over a set of educational toys.
Madoka didn't expect that he would buy something for the baby, and the gift was quite creative.
"Thank you." She took it happily, the baby would definitely like it.
"You like children very much, right?" he asked tentatively.
"Of course, children are very cute!"
"Then let's have one ourselves? Our baby will definitely be cuter!" He leaned toward her cheek ambiguously.
She blushed unsatisfactorily and said coquettishly, "What nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm very confident in my genes! We can give it a try and accept the results after ten months!" He kissed her directly without giving her a chance to protest.
That's right, why didn't he think of this method before? Wouldn't it be ok to cook the raw rice first?
The disturbing cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello?!"
Qi Yu was someone who had been here before, so he understood what was going on when he heard his son's dissatisfied tone of request. However, he did not hang up the phone consciously. Instead, he lowered his voice and said in a very unethical manner, "Ahem... Son, you can't do anything about it."
Consider your father's feelings, it seems that my age is not suitable for being a grandfather."
"..." Wuyou hung up bitterly.
Let him just say it, having a young father is definitely not a good thing!
But why? Why did he give birth to him when he was young and then let him bear the responsibilities of his age and seniority?
When he gave birth to him, did he ask him how he felt? Yes or no?
