After Xue Ling returned home, she found that her family had gathered around the dining table, and Ranran and Yangyang were helping to clear away the dishes.
Cheng Tianyuan was frying the last dish, Xue's mother was feeding Xiao Yue, and Xue's father was spooning rice.
Xiao Xin and Xiao Chong were waiting nearby, each took a small bowl and placed it on the dining table.
When the children saw her, they all shouted happily: "Mom! It's time to eat!"
Xue Ling looked at the warm scene in front of her and showed a loving and happy smile.
"Okay, I'm going to wash my hands."
She took off her coat, washed her hands, and found her seat to sit down.
Xiao Yue giggled at Xue Ling and said crisply: "Auntie! I have cake!"
Xue Ling chuckled and asked, "Where did you get the cake?"
Xiao Yue replied: "The cake shop sells it - it's delicious!"
After hearing this, Xiaoxin put her hands on her hips and hummed: "That's not your cake! My sister has already told you that the cakes sold by other people are theirs, not ours. Don't think that they are put there for you to see. If you see them, they are yours."
That’s wrong! Do you understand?”
Xiao Yue pouted pitifully and whispered: "I... want cake."
Xue Ling glanced at her daughter and said warmly: "My brother is still young, so don't be loud to him. We have to explain to him slowly what he did wrong and what was not good. It's not about being aggressive or intimidating."
Xiaoxin pouted, secretly a little angry.
But she didn't dare to say it, she just curled her lips and looked at her father.
Cheng Tianyuan pretended not to see it, and while putting the food on the table, he said: "Mom is right. My brother is still young and doesn't understand many things. You can teach him and tell him, but you can't lecture him loudly."
Seeing that no one was united with her, Xiaoxin had no choice but to remain silent.
Xue Ling looked at Xiao Yue and said, "If you like cakes, then I will buy you a cake to celebrate your birthday and let you eat as much as you like."
Yangyang laughed and said, "When it's your birthday, your parents will buy you a cake! Your birthday won't be in February, so wait another month or two."
After Xiao Yue heard this, his face fell, full of disappointment, and he didn't want to eat the millet porridge.
Mother Xue coaxed: "You eat porridge, and when the cake shop opens tomorrow, grandma will buy it for you."
"It's open now!" Xiao Yue muttered.
Xue Ling chuckled and said, "But it's too late now. It's not okay to eat cake at night. The cake has a lot of cream. If you eat too much cream at night, you will become a fat man."
Several children laughed and laughed: "Big fat guy, big fat guy!"
Xiao Yue's face turned red, he looked over and over, and finally gave up.
Both brothers and sisters say fat people are ugly, and they don't like being fat. He doesn't want to be fat either, because he's worried that people won't like him.
Father Xue smiled and said, "Okay, let's have dinner."
Cheng Tianyuan wiped his hands, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a piece of chicken for Xue Ling beside him.
"Try this. This is the white-cut chicken I just learned. A little oil and garlic are added to the soy sauce. It's specially prepared for eating white-cut chicken."
Xue Ling took a bite and nodded hastily: "Yeah! It's delicious! It tastes very similar to authentic plain-cut chicken."
Cheng Tianyuan picked up a few more soft pieces and gave them to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Several children ate heartily. Yang Yang picked up a big chicken drumstick and ate it happily.
Xue Ling glanced at the large plate of chicken and couldn't help but ask: "Is there more than one chicken? Why are there so many chicken wings and legs?"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and explained: "I cooked two and trimmed the meat to make chicken porridge for A Fang."
"It's very delicious." Xue's father said warmly: "I will continue to make it when I have time in the future. The children also like to eat it."
Cheng Tianyuan immediately agreed.
Ran Ran is almost the same height as her mother. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy has a very big appetite. He eats a piece of meat in one bite and enjoys it very much.
Xiao Chong's appetite is not small and he eats more than Xiao Xin at every meal.
Xiaoxin is a bit picky about food, especially vegetables.
So every time she eats, Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan will pay special attention and add more vegetables to her small bowl.
After Xiao Yue is fed, he will still sit at the dining table and eat some vegetables and meat.
"Sister, you don't eat vegetables?"
Xiaoxin hurriedly covered the small bowl, stared and muttered: "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! I'm eating!"
Xue Ling glared at her and whispered: "You don't eat vegetables and you dare to threaten people loudly. Be careful that you won't eat meat next time. Eat vegetables every day."
Xiaoxin didn't dare to do it again, so she buried her head and ate green vegetables.
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "Ranran and Yangyang have already signed up for elementary computer classes. The classes on the fifth day of the new year will be held until the Lantern Festival, and the following weekend classes will be in the afternoon. The money is paid separately."
Xue Ling nodded and said: "Afternoon is afternoon. Anyway, they are so old that they don't need to take a nap."
"Mom!" Yangyang raised her head and asked with her mouth full of oil: "When are you going to buy us a computer? The teacher in the training class said that it is best to have a computer at home, so you can learn and practice at the same time.
It can have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort!”
Xue Ling did not doubt the teacher's words and said: "Buy it tomorrow and let the master install it."
After hearing this, Ranran and Yangyang both looked excited and laughed.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say that you should learn before buying?"
"Buy it now." Xue Ling explained: "The teacher's words make sense. In addition, I still have a lot of accounts to check at the end of the year. Some of them are now made into tables. I can occasionally open them on the computer to calculate them, which is much more convenient."
Cheng Tianyuan responded immediately: "Then I will go downstairs to take a look tomorrow morning. We have opened many computer stores downstairs in the past two years, so just buy them downstairs."
"Okay." Xue Ling said with a smile: "The computer needs to be installed with a system. You have to ask the master to install it for us. By the way, you have to ask the master to install some office software on the computer so that I can use it."
Cheng Tianyuan wrote it down carefully.
Mother Xue on the side couldn't help but asked curiously: "What kind of brain do you know? Can you use it?"
Xue Ling was stunned for a moment, then explained: "I learned it in the office. Nowadays, accountants use computers to keep accounts and do calculations, which is very convenient and quick. I learned some things from accountants so that I can use them in the future."
Mother Xue shrugged: "That thing looks like a small TV, what use can it be!"
"You don't understand this." Xue's father explained warmly: "I saw computer applications on TV, and it's amazing! It's actually just that - a super computer."
Mother Xue shook her head and asked funnyly: "Computer? It's like an electronic abacus, right?"
"No." Dad Xue said, "If you don't understand, don't ask. We are all old people eliminated by society. There is no shame in not understanding."
Everyone laughed.
Xue Yang smiled and said: "Grandma, when big brother and I learn how to do it, we will teach you."
"Okay!" Mother Xue said happily: "Live and learn. Now it's my grandson's turn to teach me."
Everyone laughed again.
Xiao Yue now stays here every day and has already regarded himself as a member of the family.
"Grandma, I will teach you too."
Xiaoxin laughed and said: "You don't even know how to do it yourself! You have to learn it!"
Xiao Yue pouted, a little unhappy.
Xue Ling smiled and said warmly: "When I get older, I will learn with my brothers and sisters. However, Yangyang, when the computer comes, you can't mess around on your own. Whatever the teacher teaches you, you can practice it yourself, and then teach you
Brother and sister.”
"Okay!" The two young men responded in unison.
Cheng Tianyuan was a little worried and said: "You can't watch it for too long at a time... The screen looks worse than a TV. When we went to register for that training class, I saw that the monitor would flicker and flicker. It might hurt my eyes."
