On the night of the beginning of winter, Aunt Huang cooked a sumptuous dinner. The dishes were put on the table, but the father and daughter were still playing chess.
She leaned over and looked at it for a while, then said kindly: "Old Huang, please stop playing chess with Berry, you can't win."
Uncle Huang: "I can win the next game."
Huang Liangliang encouraged: "Dad, you are very good. You have made significant progress. I almost lost the game just now."
Uncle Huang said happily: "Really?"
Huang Liangliang nodded: "Yes, it was really close. I broke out in a cold sweat."
Aunt Huang sneered from the side: "You sweat a little too much."
Huangmeiberry: "Mom, please don't make trouble, okay? You deliberately disturb my mood so that you can help my dad win over me, right?"
Uncle Huang immediately said: "Mrs. Huang, go away, I will defeat Berry with my strength."
Aunt Huang scolded: "Gambler! How many games have you lost?"
Uncle Huang: "More than ten rounds, I can't remember clearly."
Aunt Huang: "That means you have to wash the dishes for more than ten days? In Xiaobai's words, you are just a fool. I worried about your daughter's marriage and asked her to wash the dishes, but you got me wrong. You have been thinking about it all day long.
What are you thinking about?"
"Think of the eternal chess game!"
Uncle Huang said something. Thinking about it, he immediately wanted to lose the chess piece. His wife was right, he couldn't delay his daughter's feelings because of his own selfish desires.
Huang Liangliang quickly stopped: "Oh, no regrets. You can't cheat after you've already started. Playing chess is like being a human being, and chess players are true gentlemen."
Uncle Huang thought: "Then let's finish this round."
…
Five minutes later.
clatter!
A car came to Huang Liangliang's handsome position.
Uncle Huang said enthusiastically: "General! Hahaha~~~"
Huang Liangliang racked her brains to deal with it, and after resisting tenaciously for three minutes, she surrendered.
"Hahaha~~~~" Uncle Huang seemed to drink three bottles of Little Bear drinks in a row, it was really refreshing.
Huang Liangliang spread her hands: "I won't come, I won't come."
How could Uncle Huang keep her from coming? He held her shoulders and prevented her from getting up: "Before, it was all testing and warming up. Now is the real beginning. The battle begins now."
Huang Liangliang said: "This is not good, mom will say that I encouraged you again."
Uncle Huang: "She doesn't understand, let's try another game."
"Really just one more round?"
"Just one round."
After one round, Uncle Huang asked for another round.
Aunt Huang laughed angrily and sat down at the dining table alone, preparing to eat by herself without waiting for the father and daughter.
Uncle Huang noticed that his wife was angry and tried to divert her attention. While playing chess, he asked: "Zhang Tan, won't you come over to eat together tonight?"
Aunt Huang served herself a bowl of winter melon and pork ribs soup: "He is going to Xiaobai's house tonight. He was invited a week ago."
Uncle Huang flattered me: "That's a pity, I can't taste your good craftsmanship."
Aunt Huang didn't buy it, she sneered, drank the soup, got up, put on her down jacket, and got ready to go out.
"Mom, why are you going? Are you ready to go out in the cold weather?" Huang Liangliang asked.
Aunt Huang: "I went to the academy to have a look, but I always feel uneasy."
She came to Little Red Horse, Lao Li was not there, and the door was opened just enough for one person to come in and out.
The school was quiet, not a single sound of milk was heard, and there was no bustle in the past.
She found Teacher Xiaoman and Xi'er in the classroom. Teacher Xiaoman was holding Xi'er and telling her a story.
"Big Rabbit's arms are so long. I love you so much," he said. "Well, that's a lot," thought Little Rabbit.
Hearing the footsteps, the two of them looked at each other at the same time.
"Are you happy tonight?" Aunt Huang asked.
Xi'er said aggrievedly: "Auntie the principal, I'm so pitiful. None of the little friends are here."
Aunt Huang touched her little head and comforted her first, and then listened to Teacher Xiaoman's introduction. The children had all asked for leave and would not be coming tonight, not even Xiaobai and Xiaomi.
Aunt Huang: "Have you all eaten?"
When Xi'er heard this, she ran over and offered the dumplings she had brought to the principal's aunt, but the dumplings were already cold.
"What a good child." Aunt Huang held her little hand sympathetically.
There was only one child in the academy, so Aunt Huang thought for a while and asked Teacher Xiaoman to go home from get off work. She took Xi'er to her house for dinner for the holidays.
Xi'er happily held the dumplings and was led away by the director's aunt.
She cried for a while tonight, and after being comforted by Teacher Xiaoman, she felt much better. She listened to the story again, and her mood further recovered. At this moment, she was invited by the principal's aunt, and she was in a good mood.
Aunt Huang left empty-handed, but when she came back she brought a very festive baby. The father and daughter who were playing chess finally stopped and looked over.
"This is Xi'er. Xi'er, this is Huang Baobao and Sister Xiao Huang." Aunt Huang introduced the three parties.
Xi'er happily served the dumplings and invited them both to eat.
Huang Liangliang was very dissatisfied with Aunt Huang's introduction. Sister Xiao Huang? Where is Gouzi?
Aunt Huang ignored her, heated up Xi'er's dumplings, put them on the dining table, and took her to sit at the dining table to prepare for dinner.
"Xi'er, don't be polite. Whatever you want to eat, sister will pick it up for you."
"Xi'er doesn't want anyone to feed her when she's eating."
Huang Meili was stunned and praised her for her awesomeness. She had never seen Xi'er or Xiaohong Mali before. She only knew Xiaobai and Xiaomi. The one in front of her looked smaller than Xiaobai and Xiaomi, but she was very cute and festive.
She was very happy and had fun all the time, but her words were not very loud. The first thing she said to her was, you are so big.
She wasn't sure what it meant, a compliment, or a roundabout way of saying she was fat? She didn't think she was fat, she was just plump, that's what Zhang Hooligan said.
There are many dishes on the table, including Siwu chicken soup, sesame oil chicken, ginger duck, etc. We also made dumplings.
Pujiang locals are accustomed to eating dumplings on the day of the Beginning of Winter. Although eating one is enough, it is a habit. Just like moon cakes must be eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon cakes are not necessarily delicious. After eating one, you can still eat another.
Are you happy? After all, the meaning of dumplings is family reunion.
When Xi'er saw the dumplings she brought mixed with other dumplings, she said with a smile that it was a big dumpling giving birth to a small dumpling. She immediately asked Huang Meili if the little sister had given birth to a baby. The person who asked, Miss Huang, didn't know what to do.
answer.
"Look, Xi'er is so young and worried about you, why don't you hurry up?" Aunt Huang took the opportunity to say.
Xi'er is missing her front teeth and has small deciduous teeth, so it is a bit difficult for her to bite meat. Although she said at the beginning that she does not need others to feed her, Aunt Huang still helps her cut the meat into small strips to make it easier for her to chew.
"Put some soup for Xi'er, Xi'er, would you like some chicken soup? It's very nourishing."
Huang Liangmei served Xi'er the Siwu chicken soup, but Aunt Huang refused, saying, "It contains angelica, Chuanxiong, white peony root, and rehmannia glutinosa. It's best not for children to eat it. Let's serve a bowl of winter melon and pork ribs soup."
Xi'er said: "Auntie the principal, don't you want to give it to Xi'er? Then Xi'er can eat dumplings."
Aunt Huang said funnyly: "It's not that I don't want to eat it for Xi'er, it's that Xi'er can't eat this. This is something only adults can eat. You are too young and weak, so it's best not to eat it, but you can eat this. This is
Ginger duck is very delicious, you can try it."
Xi'er's emotions came and went in a straight line, coming and going quickly. Hearing this, he said happily: "Then I'll try it, I'll eat it."
Aunt Huang first served her a bowl of winter melon and pork rib soup. Of course, there was no ribs, only stewed winter melon and soup. Then she used another small bowl to fill her with ginger duck meat.
Huang Qianmei witnessed her mother taking care of Xi'er meticulously throughout the whole process. She looked at her father and Uncle Huang whispered meaningfully: "Although there are no words, it is worth thousands, so hurry up."
Huang Liangliang rolled her eyes at him and thought of Zhang Tan. Zhang Tan seemed to be like her mother in that she also liked children. Does that mean that the gangster had a lot of fatherly love in his heart and wanted to be a father?
