After Meng Yao got up, he walked around inside and outside the house, subconsciously looking for Qi Boyan, but still couldn't find him.
Knowing that he still hadn't come back, Meng Yao pouted.
After going to the old home, Liu Cuihua, who had gotten up early, was chatting with Grandma Zhao. Looking at Grandma Zhao's expression, she was full of worry.
As I got closer, I realized what they were discussing.
"I'm grabbing money outside. The closer it is to the New Year, the more money there is. Boyan is the same, it's New Year's Eve today, and I still can't believe it."
Meng Yao remembered that Grandma Zhao's son and daughter-in-law were working outside. It was said that they were working on construction sites, often running with the construction team and not at home all year round.
I heard that Xiao Shitou was left at home by his wife when he was very young, and Grandma Zhao raised him by herself.
"Grandma Zhao."
Meng Yao walked over with a smile.
As soon as Meng Yao appeared, the two old ladies stopped talking.
"Yao Yao, come on, come on, come and try the fried balls and sugar cakes."
Grandma Zhao fried it late. She originally wanted to fry it later so that she could have a warm meal when her son and daughter-in-law came back, but she didn't expect that they hadn't come back until New Year's Eve.
Grandma Zhao brought a bowl with something in it and handed it to Meng Yao.
Meng Yao did not refuse and pinched two to taste, but Grandma Zhao directly asked her to take the bowl back.
"Take it back and let your sister-in-law have a taste."
Grandma Zhao's relationship with them has eased, not only with her and Meng Yao, but also with Wu Aizhen.
Meng Yao nodded and took it back. There were always comings and goings between the neighbors.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Wu Aizhen and Qi Ming'an in the yard, one holding the other's hand and stroking the slightly pregnant belly.
Qi Mingan also worked until today before taking a break.
Meng Yao looked a little embarrassed and coughed lightly, and then the couple who were concentrating on prenatal education were awakened.
"Ahem..."
Wu Aizhen, who has always been shameless, couldn't help but blush. She not only pretended to cough, but also hit Qi Mingan hard on the back of her hand.
He immediately became famous.
However, Qi Mingan was not angry at all because of being beaten. Instead, he smiled like a fool.
"Sister-in-law, eat the candy cake, Grandma Zhao fried it!"
There are a lot of fried things in their house, including fried meatballs, but not sugar cakes. Grandma Zhao knows how to fry them, and she probably fried them for Little Shitou.
Wu Aizhen's eyes lit up and she nodded.
Wu Aizhen has always been greedy, but after becoming pregnant, she actually became even more greedy.
Meng Yao handed over the bowl, and Qi Mingan took it and fed it to Wu Aizhen.
She didn't have the nerve to disturb them, so she went to the kitchen to get another bowl.
Qi Mingan naturally knew that it was not the bowl from home. When Meng Yao handed over the empty bowl from home, Qi Mingan poured out the candy cakes and meatballs inside.
"Give me the bowl!"
Meng Yao doesn't want to be a lightbulb here and snatch the empty bowl away.
"Sorry for bothering my brothers and sisters."
"Trouble Yaoyao!"
"No trouble!"
Meng Yao ran away quickly.
The consciousness of not wanting to be a light bulb is enough.
When I went out, I happened to see a man and a woman carrying sacks walking towards them.
Before Meng Yao could see what these two people looked like, Liu Cuihua, who was still talking outside, said in surprise: "Her aunt, isn't she back?"
When Grandma Zhao saw it, her eyes instantly became wet.
The next moment, he yelled towards the door of his house with a loud voice: "Little Shitou, Little Shitou, come out quickly, your parents are back!"
Grandma Zhao’s son and daughter-in-law are back. During the Chinese New Year, children who go out to work always have endless things to talk about when they come back.
Liu Cuihua and Meng Yao went home knowingly.
When they came out after dinner, the couple took the little stone that was unfamiliar to them to communicate with each other.
But Little Shitou was obviously very unfamiliar with the couple. They asked him to call mom and dad with candies, but he didn't shout either.
On the contrary, when he saw Meng Yao coming out, he happily shouted: "Sister Meng Yao!"
"..."
From a distance, Meng Yao could see how embarrassed the couple was. He looked at each other awkwardly and then turned to look at her.
"small stone!"
Meng Yao stretched out a hand and waved, greeting Xiao Shitou.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shitou mistakenly thought she was calling him, and immediately threw away his parents' hands and ran towards her.
Meng Yao: "..."
"Sister Meng Yao, where are brother Wen Ye? Brother Wen Ye said he would take me to pick strawberries today."
Meng Yao told Qi Wenye yesterday that he would pick strawberries today and asked him to take the pebbles with him.
There were a lot of strawberries grown in the greenhouse, but they were never sold. They were either used by her to make fruit tea or given away by her.
Meng Yao also watched the Chinese New Year and wanted to let Qi Wenye have fun during the Chinese New Year.
Of course, Meng Yao had no plans to go before that. If Qi Boyan came back, she also wanted to live a two-person world with him.
Qi Boyan didn't come back, and she was ready to make a move.
It's Xiao Shitou. His parents are back, and he...
Meng Yao bent down and tapped the little stone's nose, "Your parents will definitely take you to a more fun place when they come back. Are you sure you want to pick strawberries?"
Little Shitou couldn't help but hesitate, and looked back at his parents who were walking over.
He knew that these were his parents, and he had been looking forward to their return, but when they came back, he didn't know what to say.
"Little Shitou wants to go, then go."
Dad Shitou said hurriedly.
And Shitou's mother next to her glared at Shitou's father angrily: "What are you talking about? I'm not afraid of causing trouble to others!"
Men think less.
He just wanted to play, but he didn't even know what a strawberry was.
Shitou's mother is really embarrassed to bother others.
"Come here, Little Shitou. Mom and dad will take you to the river to play later and let your dad catch fish for you, okay?"
In fact, when I came back last year, I took Xiao Shitou to catch fish. Although it was cold and even though I didn't catch anything, Xiao Shitou still had a lot of fun.
But the little stone is still small, so I may not remember it anymore.
Xiao Shitou was still hesitant. He and Qi Wenye had already made an appointment and didn't want to miss it.
Little Shitou looked up at Meng Yao and couldn't help but ask: "Sister Meng Yao, can you, can you... allow my parents to go with us?"
Xiao Shitou was embarrassed to scream in front of his parents, and he was still a little embarrassed when he told Meng Yao.
Shitou's mother was about to refuse when she heard this, but Meng Yao nodded in agreement, "Of course, I'll ask your grandma if you want to go together. How about we two families go together and celebrate the New Year happily?"
"Okay, I'll go find grandma!"
The shy little Shitou finally made a decisive decision and immediately turned around and went home.
At the same time, Qi Wenye, who had been running outside early in the morning, came back and started yelling loudly as soon as he ran into the alley.
"Second sister-in-law, where have you gone? I've been looking for you for a long time, aren't you going to pick strawberries? I can't wait any longer."
Meng Yao holds his forehead, "I've been at home, where are you looking?"
