"Wash your hands and eat~" my mother said.
"Brother, help me wash it." Yanyan said.
"Sister, help me wash it," Momo said.
In the kitchen, my mother shoveled the last dish out of the pot, and Lin Lu and Li Xingruo helped one sister wash her little hands.
Li Xingruo had been to the kitchen of Lin Lu's house before. At that time, Li Xingruo was quite curious as to why there was a small stool in the kitchen. It wasn't until her sisters stood on the small stool and put their little hands under the faucet that her sister suddenly understood.
The little girls had short hands and couldn't reach the faucet switch, so my sister easily reached over and turned on the switch, and the cool water flowed down.
"So cool! So comfortable!"
The sisters started laughing, and Lin Lu went to help serve the dishes, so the two sisters were handed over to her.
"Yeah, be careful if you get your clothes wet."
Li Xingruo gently helped the sisters wash their hands and dry them. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zou Wanrou looking over with a smile. The little girl was a little embarrassed. She wondered if her aunt would mind her having such close interaction with her lovely girls.
"Does Teacher Xiaoruo have any younger siblings at home?"
"No...my mother was not in good health at that time. She gave birth to me right after she gave birth."
"I thought Teacher Xiao Ruo had younger brothers and sisters who were virtuous and sensible, unlike my three enemies who are usually very troubled."
"No, no, Lin Lu and Momo Yanyan are both very good!"
Li Xingruo feels that she is so sister-like, probably because of her childhood experience. Although she has no younger siblings at home, she grew up in the village when she was a child. There were many left-behind children in the village at that time. She is considered older, so she naturally becomes
She is the eldest sister, and she also takes good care of some children.
Zou Wanrou is a person who has been here and has been a mother. Just by looking at Li Xingruo and Momo Yanyan getting along so well, one can see a lot of qualities. I feel that Teacher Xiaoruo is really caring and compassionate, and has a gentle personality.
She is kind, naive and careless in dealing with others, and has a good temper. But the more I look at her, the more I feel that this little girl pleases her old mother.
It's just a pity that she is four years older than Lin Lu. Although the old mother, like that brat, doesn't care about age, after all, Li Xingruo and Lin Lu are at different stages of life, and they don't know what Teacher Xiaoruo's pursuit is. If she considers
If we talk about getting married in two or three years, then that brat like Lin Lu will have no chance.
Of course, Zou Wanrou couldn't say anything so that her daughter wouldn't have to worry about marriage. After all, if she puts herself in her shoes, Teacher Xiaoruo's parents must also hope that she can find a man she can rely on as soon as possible. This brat of hers is good enough to be good.
, but after all, I am too young, and I never thought that one day, being too young would actually be a disadvantage.
Anyway, let them figure out their relationship matters on their own. If Teacher Xiaoruo likes younger people, she might really be able to see Lin Lu in eye-to-eye...
After helping the sisters wash their hands, Li Xingruo came over to help clean up the kitchen. This was very similar to Zou Wanrou. After cooking, she usually tidied up the kitchen briefly to facilitate cleaning later.
Li Xingruo's movements were natural, but Zou Wanrou felt embarrassed and said quickly: "Teacher Xiaoruo, just wait for auntie to come. Auntie specially invited you to have this meal at noon. How can I have the nerve to keep you busy!"
"It's okay Auntie, it's just a little work."
"But you can't help it. That brat always causes trouble for you. Auntie also said how to thank Teacher Xiaoruo. Auntie, come, auntie, come."
People who are interesting in their eyes are always lovable. Guessing that if she continued to work in the kitchen, the little girl would be too embarrassed to watch, so Zou Wanrou put down her work and went out to eat with her.
The dining table at Lin Lu's house was much larger than the dining table in her rented house. It was a round table commonly used in families. For three adults and two children, Zou Wanrou prepared six dishes, one soup, and a cold dish.
Although today is Lin Lu's birthday, Li Xingruo was specially invited to have this lunch.
Momo and Yanyan were already seated. They were sitting on their own high stools, with their short legs dangling in the air, as if they were in class. They obediently put their hands on the table, waiting for their brother to give them to them.
Serve rice.
This is the first time Li Xingruo has met Lin Lu's stepfather Xia Wen. I heard that like his aunt, he works in a public institution. He is also very easy-going and very enthusiastic. Li Xingruo occasionally pays attention to the interaction between Xia Wen and Lin Lu.
, although they are not biological father and son, Lin Lu and Uncle Wen seem to get along quite well, and the atmosphere is very good.
Xia Wen looks a little younger than Zou Wanrou. It's hard to tell how much younger he is, but he just looks younger.
Is it because Uncle Wen takes better care of himself? Or is Aunt Zou really that much older than Uncle Wen?
If Uncle Wen is really younger than Aunt Zou, then wouldn’t Auntie have a sibling relationship? In this way, Auntie seems to be able to accept the sibling relationship?
Li Xingruo blinked his eyes and came to his senses. What am I thinking about? Whether my aunt accepts the relationship between sister and brother, what does it have to do with me... The key is to see whether Lin Lu accepts it... Bah, bah, Lin Lu accepts it...
It has nothing to do with me if you don’t accept it!! The point is whether I accept it or not... Bah, bah, bah, bah! I don’t know! I never thought about this!
"Teacher Xiaoruo, please sit down. It's your own home. You're welcome. You can sit wherever you want." Xia Wen greeted enthusiastically, brought over a few cups, and poured orange juice for everyone.
"Sister, sit here!" the sisters patted the seats next to them and said.
"Okay." After Xia Wen and Zou Wanrou sat down, Li Xingruo sat next to the sisters.
Lin Lu served the meal and sat down next to her naturally.
Li Xingruo was very satisfied with this seating arrangement. With his sister and brother beside him, he didn't have to look too formal.
"These are home-cooked dishes. I don't know if they suit Teacher Xiaoruo's taste." Zou Wanrou said with a smile.
"Auntie's cooking is delicious! It happens to be my favorite dishes!" Li Xingruo also said with a smile. She has eaten the food sent by her aunt several times. Although the taste is slightly different from the food cooked by her mother, it still has the same flavor.
Very delicious mom's taste.
"Oh, sister Xingruo, you don't need to be polite to my mother and the others when you are at my house. Come and try the garlic chicken wings made by my mother." Lin Lu saw that several people were coming and going politely, so he took the initiative to put a piece of chicken wings on Li Xingruo.
In a bowl.
"That's just right. The turntable on this table is broken. If Teacher Xiaoruo can't pick up the dishes, Xiaolu Qian will help pick them up for Teacher Xiaoruo." Zou Wanrou said.
"Did you hear that, Sister Xingruo, if you don't eat more, my mother will blame me for not picking up vegetables for you." Lin Lu helped pick up another piece of fragrant braised pork and put it in her bowl.
"Thank you very much~"
Li Xingruo made a little joke, and in front of the elders, it seemed normal for Lin Lu to pick up food for her, and she gradually calmed down.
Zou Wanrou and Xia Wen were very good at finding topics. Everyone chatted while eating at the dinner table. After the little restraint gradually relaxed, Li Xingruo talked more. With her two sisters sitting next to her, she would also help Mo Moyan.
Yan picks up vegetables.
Most of the topics they talked about were about the tutoring for Lin Lu during this period, her college life, and work matters. Unexpectedly, Uncle Wen also graduated from Soochow University and was an old alumnus for nearly 20 years.
Now I feel much closer to my elders.
And what makes Li Xingruo very comfortable is that Zou Wanrou and Xia Wen will not ask her whether she is in love, whether she has someone she likes, when she plans to get married, etc. This makes the little girl feel relaxed.
Starting last year, when having dinner with relatives and elders, these were the most asked questions, and she had a headache when she heard them.
Just don’t rush it, just don’t rush it~~
She still wants to be happy for three more years, why should she get married so early...
Hey, why three years?
In short, this special lunch for Teacher Xiaoruo ended happily.
After dinner, Li Xingruo and Zou Wanrou cleaned up together, but Zou Wanrou couldn't resist her. He became more and more satisfied with this sensible and virtuous girl.
While in the kitchen, Zou Wanrou took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into Li Xingruo's hand.
"Auntie, this is..."
"Teacher Xiao Ruo has been taking care of Lin Lu during this period. This is Auntie's wish. Teacher Xiao Ruo must accept it."
"No, no, no! Auntie has raised so much tuition fees for me, and I deserve it. How can I accept another red envelope from auntie!"
The simple girl couldn't bear this gift, so she quickly stuffed the red envelope back to Zou Wanrou. When she just took the red envelope, she felt that the thickness inside was at least two thousand yuan. Although she no longer had to be a tutor, it was one less.
This is a huge amount of income, but she is too embarrassed to accept this red envelope!
"The tuition fee is the tuition fee, but Teacher Xiaoruo's efforts have also been seen by Auntie! Teacher Xiaoruo also knows our situation. Usually Auntie can't take care of Xiaolu. Fortunately, Teacher Xiaoruo is here, which also allows me to
I feel relieved, I will have to trouble Teacher Xiao Ruo a lot in the future to help me look after him, so Teacher Xiao Ruo must accept this offer."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will help you keep an eye on Lin Lu, but I really don't need this red envelope..."
"Silly girl, you don't have to be polite to auntie. Auntie treats you as one of her own and gives you this red envelope. If Xiaolu passes the exam this time, I will also give him a red envelope, so you can't be left behind. The biggest credit goes to you.
"
When Zou Wanrou said this, Li Xingruo couldn't refuse. It turned out that her aunt was not being polite to her, but treated her as one of her own family members.
Thinking about it, I am really incompetent as a teacher. I usually just collect meals, fruits, snacks and so on. Now I have received a big red envelope from my parents. I really shouldn’t. I can only treat Lin Lu better.
, after all, this is Auntie’s mission...
"Then, I will accept it... Auntie, you are so kind to me, don't worry, I will definitely help you look after Lin Lu."
"Auntie, can I call you Xiaoruo from now on?"
"sure!"
"Xiao Ruo, you don't even know, then you brat, no one's words will work. Your words are the most effective. Sister Xingruo, sister Xingruo, is telling me how good you are every day."
"He, he's pretty good, he's motivated, he's smart, he speaks and acts much more maturely than his peers, he's very responsible and responsible..."
Originally, Li Xingruo wanted to praise Lin Lu again, but when she saw her aunt's ambiguous gaze, the little girl looked away shyly, feeling embarrassed to praise him again.
…
After lunch, there was nothing to do, so Lin Lu and Li Xingruo took their little sister and went out to play.
There is a children's playground nearby. Li Xingruo hasn't been to a children's playground for a long time. He remembers going there with his parents when he was seven or eight years old.
The two of them were walking side by side, shoulders bumping in the middle, and each holding a little lolita in their hands. They looked no different from the young couples raising children at the children's playground.
Needless to say, this feeling is amazing!
"So, what are we going to play?" Lin Lu looked at Li Xingruo and asked.
"Ask Momo and Yanyan, what do you want me to do?"
Li Xingruo thought, how about playing house together, with Lin Lu as the father, her as the mother, and Momo and Yanyan as the daughters. It would be fun to think about it!
"Momo Yanyan, what do you want to play?" she asked her two sisters.
"Let's play house! My sister will be the mother and my brother will be the father!" Momo and Yanyan said.
"Okay!" Lin Lu agreed excitedly: "Then you can go and play by yourself, dad and mom are going to bed."
Li Xingruo: "..."
Are you serious! Such an adult is still playing house! Childish! Besides, where can I sleep in broad daylight?
"Ah, no sleep, no sleep, let's go play bumper cars!"
"Okay! Bumper cars! Then I want to go with daddy!"
"Then I'll go with mom!"
Lin Lu was speechless, couldn't you two be together by yourself, and let dad and mom be together?
Li Xingruo readily accepted this suggestion, so the four siblings went to buy tickets together and got on the bumper car.
This kind of children's bumper car only has two seats, and the parents are responsible for driving it. Lin Lu and Li Xingruo got into the car with their daughter, started the car excitedly, and started walking around the venue.
"Brother——! Go hit sister!"
"Hold on!" Lin Lu drove the car slowly and hit the rear of Li Xingruo's car.
"Ah...!" Li Xingruo didn't dodge and was pushed against the wall.
Not to be outdone, she drove the car out with a smile and chased Lin Lu all the way. The four siblings giggled happily.
Although Momo and Yanyan were not driving, seeing their brother and sister bumping into each other so fiercely, they couldn't help but applaud and cheer, each cheering for the brother and sister beside them.
After the fierce battle in the bumper cars, we went to play on the slide, ocean ball pool, trampoline, and swing together.
Lin Lu and Li Xingruo also experienced the fun of childhood by taking their younger sisters to play.
…
After playing all afternoon, she was already hungry when she got home. Zou Wanrou prepared a sumptuous dinner. Seeing the four siblings enjoying themselves happily, the old mother was also quite pleased.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Lu's birthday cake also appeared.
At the request of his sisters, Lin Lu put on a birthday hat and also put one on Li Xingruo's head.
Li Xingruo helped him light the candles. After everything was ready, Lin Lu set up the camera again and took Li Xingruo together to take a birthday family portrait.
Mom and Uncle Wen stood behind the sofa, he and Li Xingruo sat shoulder to shoulder, and the sisters stood in front of them, holding the little fat cat.
For Lin Lu, this is a very special and precious photo.
After turning off the lights, Li Xingruo and his sisters clapped their hands and sang a happy birthday song to him in the warm candlelight.
He still remembered that his wish last year was to find the gentlest light in his life this year.
Lin Lu used an unprecedented piety, closed his eyes and made a wish for this year——
At this age, I want to have the gentlest light in my life.
