In the evening, Cheng Huanran came back with his brother and sister.
It was cold outside, and all four of them had red noses from the cold.
Several people filed into the house and soon gathered at the heating vent, laughing and fighting for the heating.
"Brother, come over here!"
"No! I'm almost frozen and can't move!"
"You can't move, do you want me to use my big feet to help you?"
"No, let me slap your face a few times, and I should feel it in my hands."
"Haha! Fuck you!"
"Second brother, third brother! Stop crowding! I'm going to become a pie!"
"The ham slices in the sandwich are the most valuable. Why don't you take this opportunity? Don't be so shameless!"
"This face is too big, I won't move! You can go alone!"
"Haha! Don't squeeze!"
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling were sitting on the sofa, watching TV and chatting. Seeing the four of them laughing and joking, they couldn't help but smile.
"Since you are all back, let's get ready for dinner." Cheng Tianyuan stood up and explained: "We are also traveling far away, and we have to eat all the stock in the refrigerator today. We don't know how to cook it, so we continue with hot pot, what?
Throw them all in, cook them and eat them."
"Okay!"
"I love hot pot! Thank you dad!"
Xue Yang smiled cheerfully and asked: "Mom, why did you come back so early today?"
"Everything is done." Xue Ling explained: "I just came back quickly to pack my luggage and prepare for the New Year! I haven't been busy enough for the past half month? I have to let me have a good rest for ten and a half months."
"Mom!" Xiaoxin shouted excitedly: "Then let's go shopping tonight, okay?! Go ahead, go ahead!"
Xue Ling laughed dumbly, "Haven't you guys been out shopping all day today? What? You're not tired yet?"
"A bit!" Xiao Chong shook his head: "We traveled a lot today! Mom, did you know? It turns out that my eldest brother's medical school is so big!"
Cheng Huanran flicked Xiao Chong's head and said with a smile: "When school started, mom and dad had already been there. They drove around in a circle and visited every campus."
"I just took a quick look." Xue Ling said, "I didn't look carefully at every corner. Xiao Chong, when you are admitted to college, your father and mother will also send you to school and take photos with you."
"Wow!" Xiaoxin giggled and asked, "So good! What about me? I have one too, right?"
"Definitely." Cheng Tianyuan smiled fondly: "You will go to university together. If it is the same university, then take pictures together."
"Not necessarily?" Xiaoxin glanced at her third brother and said faintly: "We are together in elementary school, we are in middle school, so maybe we are together in university? Let's forget it!"
Xiao Chong rolled his eyes and said without any politeness: "Do you think I like it? I wish you would stay far away!"
Xiaoxin did not show weakness and said: "Of course it's far! Your grades are worse than mine now. If our grades continue to develop, your university will definitely be very far away from mine in the future!"
"You are so beautiful!" Xiao Chong stuck out his tongue and muttered: "I just had some abnormalities in the final exam this time. I don't want to do too well in the final exam, lest you feel too inferior!"
Xiaoxin got angry and snorted: "You are the one with low self-esteem, right? You are obviously the one with low scores!"
"Okay, okay." Xue Ling interrupted them in a funny way and said, "Why do you two like to quarrel so much lately? Are you too busy?"
"Yes!" The two of them said in unison, lazily sitting on the sofa.
Xue Ling looked at their identical movements and expressions and couldn't help but laugh softly.
"You two have been together since childhood, even in your mother's belly. There is nothing wrong with being together in college. It is more convenient for us to visit you, right? There are so many majors in the same college, you can choose what you like
We work together, but we can occasionally take care of each other in private, which is really good."
Xiao Xin and Xiao Chong looked at each other with disdain on their faces.
Cheng Huanran came over and snuggled next to Xue Ling.
"Mom, I have something to discuss with you."
Xue Ling smiled and asked, "What's the matter? How come your intuition is not a good thing?"
Cheng Huanran suppressed a smile: "No! Mom, you are too mean-spirited! The main reason is that I took a few of them out today, visited many places, ate, drank, and rode in cars. I only had a little bit left on me.
My pocket money has reached a critical point. Mom, help me! My son can’t hold on any longer! I urgently need your emergency help!”
"Pfft!"
Cheng Huanran clasped his fists and nodded: "Thank you, mom, for your guidance. My son is very grateful!!"
Then, he pointed his hand and raised his voice: "Did you all hear it? Come on, come on! Hand over all the money you spent today for eating, drinking and having fun today. No credit will be given and no bargaining will be allowed."
Xue Yang shook his head again and again, letting out a long sigh.
"Brother, second brother, I am too weak to do what I want! My wallet was in trouble a week ago, but because of brotherly love, I can't talk to you. Now even if I sell my wallet, I still won't be able to pay for it.
Yes. For the sake of our deep kinship and brotherly love, please spare me this time!"
Cheng Huanran stared and pretended to be angry.
"Where did that pile of snacks you ate yesterday morning come from? What's the matter? You feel so strong when you eat snacks, but you feel weak when you pay back the money?"
"You're wronged!" Xue Yang made an exaggerated roar and shouted: "I'll forget it if I'm wronged! My God! This is the rhythm of the snow in June!"
"Warm reminder - it's snowing outside." Cheng Huanran said calmly, "And it's the twelfth lunar month now."
Xue Yang immediately came over, hugged his arm, and pretended to cry.
"Brother, do you know what hurts the most feelings in the world? Talking about money is the most hurtful thing! We have a deep love for each other as brothers. How could a small amount of money tarnish the sacred and flawless family relationship? Right?"
Cheng Huanran snorted coldly: "Okay, I can't suck out your tears even if I give you a few sponges. Talking about money hurts the most feelings? Don't you know that the most popular saying now is - there is no need to talk about feelings without money? Hurry up.
By handing over the money, our relationship will become stronger and last forever."
Xue Yang pretended to sob, shaking his head again and again.
"You actually said such sad words - you let me down so much! Okay! Since we can't talk about feelings, then I'll leave! I'll just leave!"
The next moment, he jumped up like a fly, used the elasticity of the sofa to cross his legs, and walked to the other side of the living room. He turned around and slipped into the room. The door quickly closed with a "bang!"
In less than two seconds, a certain Yang disappeared.
Cheng Huanran: "..."
He rolled his eyes and turned to look at his third brother and younger sister on the other side. Unsurprisingly, he found the two of them sneaking towards their respective rooms.
"Wait a minute!" Cheng Huanran said in a deep voice: "You two, stop right there!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were spoken, the two of them accelerated at the same time, as fast as rabbits, and quickly got into the room.
Cheng Huanran: "..."
So, he turned to look at Xue Ling pitifully, and said aggrievedly: "Mom, have you seen it? They turned their backs and refused to recognize money. They are ruthless and unjust, which makes me feel so embarrassed!"
