Little Huzi was half asleep when he found someone knocking on the door and calling him. Without thinking, he pulled the quilt over his head to block any shouting.
He turned over and found a comfortable position to continue sleeping.
Unexpectedly, before he was completely asleep, he felt the cold wind blowing outside, seeming to be blowing over his head.
He thought he was dreaming, but the cold outside soon forced him to wake up.
He reached out his hand in confusion - and found that it was very cold outside!
He was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand!
"What's going on?" Xiao Huzi hurriedly rolled up the quilt and climbed up, fumbling in confusion to turn on the light.
Suddenly, he found that the originally warm room was completely cold. The large window was open at some point, and the cold wind was blowing inside like a whistling, biting cold.
Little Huzi grew up in the south, so how could he withstand the cold wind of several degrees below zero?
Not caring about anything else, he quickly got out of bed and closed the window, then shivered and hid under the quilt.
"That's weird! Why did the window open by itself?"
Without thinking, he got up and turned up the heat.
He climbed down tremblingly, opened the door and quickly went to the heating switch——
"Little Huzi! I'm waiting for you to have dinner! Come quickly!"
"Hot pot! Mutton hot pot!"
Little Huzi was so tormented that he no longer felt sleepy. When he heard that there was hot pot to eat, he became energetic!
"Here it comes!" He grabbed his coat, wrapped it up, and ran to the kitchen.
When everyone saw him coming with his coat wrapped in his coat, they all suppressed their laughter.
Mother Xue spooned a small bowl of soup and handed it to him: "This is made with ginger water. It's not very spicy, but it has a very good effect in repelling the cold. Drink the soup first, and then eat the meat."
"Okay! Thank you!" Xiao Huzi took it and drank it without thinking.
There was a heater in the kitchen, and he soon felt that his whole body was getting warm. He quickly took off his coat and took the chopsticks while saying: "I don't know why, but the window in the room suddenly opened by itself while I was half asleep, and the heater seemed to be gone."
Cheng Huanran said "Oh?!", stood up and walked out.
After a while, he came back and explained very calmly: "The heating in the room is fine, it's just a little low. I've turned it up for you."
Xiao Huzi slurped up the vermicelli and said, "Brother Ran! Thank you!"
Cheng Tianyuan was grooming his father-in-law and mother-in-law and ignored these brats.
Xue Lingze was still busy looking at employee information and eating absentmindedly.
Cheng Tianyuan gave her a piece of mutton and asked, "Would you like some lettuce?"
“Yes.”
Cheng Tianyuan picked it up with his big chopsticks and handed her three or four pieces of lettuce.
Xiao Huzi likes gossip the most and couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, what snacks did you eat? What is the most famous snack in the Imperial Capital?"
"Snacks in the Imperial Capital?" Xue Ling replied: "Rice cakes? The traditional snacks here are all imported from other places. The sea is open to all rivers and has everything. What I treat my friends to eat is bird's nest soup."
The little tiger laughed "Pfft!" and joked: "This is the first time!"
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and put down the phone in her hand.
"What's the first time? What do you mean?"
Xiao Huzi narrowed his eyes with a smile and said: "This is the first time I heard that you eat expensive things! You should eat more swallow-winged abalone. This is in line with your status!"
Forehead?!
Xue Ling shook his head in amusement: "You talk nonsense all day long! Rich people eat three meals a day, and poor people also eat three meals a day. Those with good conditions have more opportunities to choose from and eat better. Those with poor conditions can eat better.
Just eat enough, there is no chance to choose. It’s just that, there’s not much difference. Do you think eating abalone and lobster every day is good? You’ll get tired of it in a few days.”
Little Huzi raised his chin proudly and said: "That's not necessarily the case! Good food is highly nutritious, and what else - rare things are more valuable, it's nothing more than these two principles. If you are tired of eating, just eat some rare and rare things.
Let’s have a change of taste!”
Xiao Huzi's ideas have always been incompatible with those of the children in the family, so when he talks, others generally don't like to interrupt.
Cheng Huanran and his younger brothers and sisters buried their heads in the food, thinking that his words fell on deaf ears.
Xue Ling just smiled and couldn't explain much to him.
"Eat slowly and pack your things after eating. We will fly out at 2pm tomorrow. We will eat breakfast and lunch outside tomorrow. We have temporarily arranged to eat lunch on the way to the airport so as not to be late to the airport after eating.
Just have breakfast nearby, you decide for yourself."
Little Huzi gnawed on the mutton chops and muttered, "Is there anything delicious nearby?"
"Uh... there's quite a lot." Xue Ling pointed outside the community: "There are several shops on the entire street opposite. You can go and pick something to eat tomorrow."
Xiao Huzi nodded.
Father Xue ate a bowl of rice noodles and a few slices of potatoes and lettuce, and soon became full.
"Xiao Xin, our game of chess isn't over yet! Grandpa will wait for you first. Come over when you're full!"
"No need to play that game." Xiaoxin said with a smile: "No matter which piece you move or which step you take, you will only lose in the end."
Father Xue couldn't believe it and stood up in a hurry: "Really? I'll go take a look."
After a while, he came back with a smile.
"Oh! Our Xiaoxin's chess skills have skyrocketed recently! Grandpa is no longer your opponent, he's willing to be the loser!"
Xiaoxin smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Comrade Xue, you are also very good. Please continue to work hard, maintain a balanced mentality, and strive for greater progress in the future!"
Father Xue stood upright, with his abdomen drawn in and his chest raised, and he raised his voice: "Yes! Comrade Xiaoxin!"
Everyone was amused by this young and old man.
Mother Xue put down her bowl and chopsticks, picked her teeth, and asked with a smile: "Can Xiaoxin beat grandpa, can she beat uncle Zhilan? I remember that your uncle is very good at it, and he is also the vice president of the Imperial City Chess Association, right?"
Father Xue nodded hurriedly: "Yes."
"I defeated him two or three times last time." Xiaoxin shook his head: "But my uncle still won more. I have been practicing harder than before, so my chances of winning should be better."
Dad Xue's eyes widened and he said seriously: "Our Xiaoxin's chess skills have really improved a lot this year! Zhilan's level is quite high. He can even tie with the president of the chess association in our imperial capital. If he can win,
Lan, proves that Xiaoxin’s level has almost reached the level of a professional chess player!”
Cheng Huanran also loves to play chess and used to play with his grandfather.
"Xiao Xin has been very good recently. I played two sets with her last night, and she beat me to a pulp!"
Little Huzi clicked his tongue a few times and said jokingly: "Sister, you are awesome!" His father also likes to play chess, but he is not naturally suitable for this because he gets dizzy when he sees chess.
Xiaoxin thought he was transparent and just ate by herself.
Cheng Tianyuan looked at his little daughter dotingly and said: "Playing chess is good, it can exercise your brain power. Remember to learn more from your grandpa and uncle."
"Well!" Xiao Xin asked with a smile: "Grandpa, will my uncle come over to play chess in the evening? Don't worry, I will help you defeat your uncle."
Father Xue laughed and strode outside: "I'm going to call him now! Tell him that there is a brazen junior here who wants to challenge him..."
