During the meal, Lin Caiyin kept picking up food for Zai Xi. It was different when there was an extra child in the family. The whole family's focus was on the child, and they didn't want to mention anything unhappy or unpleasant.
"Xi Bao, tell grandma what you want to eat, and grandma will pick it up for you."
"I'll do it myself." With that said, Zai Xi showed off his chopstick skills to everyone. There was a plate of spiced peanuts in front of him, and he picked each one accurately. The whole family praised him, and he became even more proud.
Qiao Xinwei warned: "Xi Bao, don't eat too many peanuts, it will cause indigestion."
Zai Xi stood up again and took a bite of fried corn. It was crispy and sweet. His eyes lit up, "Wow, what kind of dish is this? It's so delicious."
Lin Caiyin said: "This is called fried corn. Your dad loved to eat it when he was a child. Come on, eat more."
Zai Xi put down his chopsticks, holding them in each hand, biting one on the left and one on the right, for fear that others would snatch it from him.
Qiao Xinwei warned again, "Xi Bao, you can't eat like this, it's so ugly. Eat one piece before eating the second."
Lin Caiyin, who is usually very particular, couldn't help but say: "Oh, why do you care so much? If Xi Bao likes to eat, just let him eat."
"??" Qiao Xinwei shut up and stepped on Jiang Hao hard under the table. Jiang Hao coughed twice and said, "Mom, why are you so partial? I ate one more corn when I was a kid.
You slapped my hand with chopsticks."
Lin Caiyin glared back at him with disgust, "You were so naughty when you were a kid. I beat you when you disobeyed me. Our Xi Bao is such a good boy. My good grandson, grandma needs a kiss."
"??" Jiang Hao was also defeated. He finally understood what it meant to have a close relationship.
Zai Xi looked at his mother, then his father, and said consciously: "Dad, can you help me eat a piece? One piece is enough for me. I also want to keep my stomach to eat the big chicken drumsticks, hehehehe."
Jiang Hao took the fried corn and said, "Okay, daddy will help you eat it."
Zai Xi looked at the two elders again and said: "Grandpa and grandma, can I recite "Quiet Night Thoughts" to you?" Amid the expectation, he sat upright, shook his head and memorized, "Quiet Night Thoughts, Li Bai"
, there is a bright moonlight in front of the bed, I suspect it is frost on the ground, I raise my head to look at the bright moon, and lower my head to think about my hometown."
This standard little book boy's posture and milky voice immediately made everyone laugh, and attracted a series of compliments.
Zai Xi became even more proud, even a little embarrassed, "I can also memorize a lot, and I can also sing." He put down his chopsticks and climbed off the table, singing and dancing in front of the old man, "The red star shines brightly, the red star shines warmly in the heart."
, the red star is the heart of our workers and peasants, and the glory of the party shines on all generations??”
Qiao Xinwei really wanted to say that she would perform her skills after dinner, but when she saw Jiang Zhizhong smiling and clapping his hands kindly, she said nothing.
Jiang Hao also clapped his hands gently. He was so proud to see his son so smart and well-behaved. He leaned into Qiao Xinwei's ear and asked in a low voice: "When did you teach him this? Look how happy my dad is. I've never seen him before.
My dad has never been so happy."
"I didn't teach you, I learned it in kindergarten."
"Haha, not bad, not bad."
After Zai Xi finished singing, everyone applauded and praised him. He was so excited that he even jumped up and down when he walked. He was too excited and easily became extremely happy and sad. When he climbed onto the dining chair, his foot slipped off accidentally and his chin
He knocked on the edge of the table and said, "Ah, woo woo woo~~"
I hit my chin, bit my tongue with my teeth, and Zai Xi cried out in pain.
When he cried, the whole family became anxious. Jiang Zhizhong even winked at Lin Caiyin, "Why don't you help him?"
Lin Caiyin also blamed herself very much. She hugged Xi Bao and kept coaxing her, "That's wrong, that's wrong, Xi Bao, little dear, it hurts. Oh, grandma feels sorry for you, dear dear."
It was not Qiao Xinwei's turn to say anything. In fact, it was inevitable for children to bump into each other. She was carrying Xi Bao, and she never paid attention to Xi Bao when he fell.
The more I ignored him, the harder I cried.
Now his grandparents are coaxing him, and he is crying harder and harder.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts." Zai Xi opened his lips and stuck out his tongue. His big eyes hung down one after another. His eyes were red and his eyebrows were red. "Mom, mom, my tongue hurts."
Qiao Xinwei said: "It stopped hurting after a while. The more I cried, the more painful it became. Mom counted to three and stopped crying. Three, two, one, stop."
Zai Xi closed his mouth, his lips were still trembling, but the crying stopped and only the sound of "wuwuwu" came out in his throat.
Lin Caiyin wiped the child's tears and said distressedly: "My dear, grandma feels sorry for me. Come on, grandma will hold her. Whatever Xi Bao wants to eat, grandma will pick it up for you."
Zai Xi sniffed and stopped crying when he said he wasn't going to cry, "Chicken legs."
When he returned home, Jiang Zhizhong stuffed a big red envelope into Zai Xi. It was thick and full of new banknotes with serial numbers. It could be seen that they had just been taken out from the bank.
The old man was reluctant to let his grandson go, so he said a rare thing about letting them go home often. What was even more rare was that he said this three times in a row.
Lin Caiyin was reluctant to give it up and packed all the snacks and toys at home for him, "Xi Bao, come back on your day off, and grandma will make you corn pancakes and chicken drumsticks."
"Okay, see you grandma and grandpa."
"Hey, goodbye, my dear."
Jiang Zhizhong and Lin Caiyin stood at the door and looked away for a long time, reluctant to leave.
The car drove steadily, and Qiao Xinwei held Zai Xi in the back seat. At this time, Zai Xi finally calmed down. It is easy to get sleepy in a car, and her eyes were blurry. Her little fleshy hand kept tugging on the plastic bag, which contained all the contents.
It's candy and toys.
Qiao Xinwei wanted to take the bag away and put it away, but Zai Xi exclaimed, "My candy, my candy."
"I didn't take your candy. Put it next to you. How heavy it is for you to carry it."
Zai Xi nodded, leaned into his mother's arms and said, "Mom, the teacher said that there will be activities in the kindergarten tomorrow, and parents must participate together. There will be many, many prizes."
"Well, the teacher told me that we will go to kindergarten together tomorrow."
"Okay, mom, you want to help me win a big prize."
"No problem." Qiao Xinwei touched his neck, "Oh my stinky baby, you see your back is wet, you have to change your clothes when you get home."
Zai Xi suddenly touched his own neck with his little hand, then touched her neck again, and said with a smile: "You are the stinky mother. If the mother holds the stinky baby, then the mother will also become stinky."
Qiao Xinwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Well, we share the same temperament. Let's go home and take a good shower, and then we will win the grand prize tomorrow."
"good."
Jiang Hao was driving in front and said, "Xi Bao, dad will definitely help you get the biggest prize tomorrow."
——
The next day, the sun was shining brightly. In winter, the clearer the weather, the colder it gets. Qiao Xinwei put on a newly bought down jacket for Zai Xi. It was bright lemon yellow and could be seen at a glance among the crowd.
Jiang Hao held up his singlet to Qiao Xinwei and took a direct picture. She was wearing a red cashmere coat today, which made her face look particularly good-looking.
Qiao Xinwei was displeased and blocked her face from him, saying, "Why are you taking pictures of me? You are taking pictures of Xi Bao."
Jiang Hao chuckled, "You look good."
"Go away."
Zai Xi held his father with one hand and his mother with the other. His father was tall and handsome and even more handsome than a movie star. He was extremely proud.
A banner has been put up at the entrance of the kindergarten, which reads - Xiaoshu Miao Kindergarten Orientation Parent-child Sports Meeting.
Jiang Hao looked at the banner and laughed, "Is this the legendary Pediatric Games?"
Qiao Xinwei: "You're almost there."
"Yeah, I understand."
There are various events at the sports meeting, such as balloon stepping, two people with three legs, tail pulling, me wearing shoes for dad, etc. Everyone actively participates in many events. Anyone who participates will get a gift. Of course, those who get the top three will get bigger gifts.
Bigger is better.
In the push-up event, the child sits on his father's back, and the father does push-ups continuously. Whoever does more will win. This kind of test of physical strength is really hard for Jiang Hao.
Some dads can't straighten their backs, and their children fall off as soon as they sit down on push-ups. Some dads are okay at first, but get tired after doing too much. Not to mention their backs, their arms and legs can't straighten up. Zai Xi sat on Jiang Hao's back
, steadily, and helped Dad count, "36, 37, 38, 39, 40?? Hahahaha, Dad, we have already won, they have all fallen."
Jiang Hao started to do tricks. He supported the ground with one hand and started doing it. His body was still upright.
Qiao Xinwei said from the side: "Okay, we'll stop when we're ready."
Jiang Hao stopped, turned around and picked up Zai Xi. The father and son gave high fives to celebrate, "Oh, Xi Bao, how many firsts is this?"
Xi Bao decisively raised four fingers and said, "Four are the first. Dad is great."
By the end of the game, the little one was sweating, and the big one was sweating too. It was six degrees below zero today. After playing for a long time, he was sweating all over.
After the sports meeting, everyone said goodbye to each other. Qiao Xinwei took Zai Xi and Jiang Hao hugged a lot of prizes, including school supplies and stuffed animals.
"You two are really, you just took a shower yesterday, and you're all sweaty from playing today."
Zai Xi chuckled, "Mom, didn't you have a good time? How can you participate in a sports meeting and not sweat?"
Jiang Hao agreed very much, "That's right. You will sweat when you exercise. Xi Bao, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
“Big hot pot.”
"Okay, let's go eat hot pot." After saying that, Jiang Hao whispered into Qiao Xinwei's ear, "My son likes hot pot, it's up to you, hahahaha."
Qiao Xinwei thought he was on to something, so she laughed extremely hard.
Driving to the hot pot restaurant, the only thing Qiao Xin looked at was, what a familiar place, what an unbearable past. The place where she and Jiang Hao had their first date alone was here. This hot pot restaurant is still in operation. It seems that the place is
It has grown bigger, and the store next door has been expanded, and the business is getting better and better.
Jiang Hao picked up his son and said, "Xi Bao, let me tell you a story, the story of my parents' past."
"OK."
Qiao Xin was the only one who heard it and quickly stopped her, "Jiang Hao, don't tell your son weird things."
"What do you mean?"
"you??"
Jiang Hao walked into the store with his son in his arms and found an empty seat to sit down. He said, "This is the place where mom and dad had their first date. It's also mom's favorite hot pot restaurant. Xi Bao, let's eat more today."
