Zheng Duoduo laughed heartily and tugged on Xiaoxin's braid.
"Why are your little mouths so sweet? A colleague of mine traveled abroad a while ago and gave me a pack of jelly. Come on, come on, I'll give you a few jelly pieces each."
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at the next door and found that the door was tightly closed.
"Sister Achun hasn't gotten off work yet? Have you just come back?"
Zheng Duoduo nodded and explained: "I just arrived at the door, and then I realized that I forgot to bring the key when I left home last time. Thinking that my aunt would get off work in more than half an hour, I didn't go downstairs to look for it. I wanted to come next door.
Rush through the door, and by chance you will be back."
Father Xue walked in the door first and greeted warmly: "Come in quickly!"
Zheng Duoduo greeted Liu Ying and Xue's mother, then took out the jelly from his backpack and distributed it to several little ones.
Xiao Yue likes to be clingy, sitting on his lap and refusing to get off.
Xiao Chong took Zheng Duoduo and asked a lot of questions about how to fly a plane.
Only Xiaoxin kept eating one meal after another.
Liu Ying looked at Zheng Duoduo with admiration and whispered: "You are a young man. He is so tall! He is so handsome!"
Mother Xue nodded in agreement, and said with great satisfaction: "Ah Chun has taken good care of him these years! Old Zheng knows a lot about him, and he must be very grateful to Ah Chun."
"That's for sure." Father Xue whispered: "My job in Datong is stable now. Last year I married a colleague who works in the same company. I also bought a house in Xiangcheng. Life is getting better and better. Ah Chun has saved money on food these years.
By spending money frugally and working hard every day, I can finally afford Duoduo's education."
Liu Ying seemed to remember something and asked: "Tietou should be twenty-two years old this year, right?"
"Yes." Mother Xue explained: "I remember that he is ten years older than Xiaoxin and the others by a few months. He should be twenty-two years old now."
"It's so fast!" Liu Ying thought of the diligent and tenacious young man again, and said: "I wonder when he will come back? Ah Chun has been waiting for him for so many years... It's not easy!"
"He will come back." Xue's father said warmly: "He writes several times every year and sends money to his family every time. He is studying and making money at the same time. I guess he will have to wait until he graduates before he can come back."
Mother Xue said happily: "When he comes back, Achun and his family will be reunited."
The three of them were busy in the kitchen and chatting happily about the future of Achun's family.
Zheng Duoduo was playing with his nephew and Xiao Chong Xiaoxin, and he patiently answered all kinds of weird questions from the children.
"Uncle, does everyone on the plane have a parachute? When can we skydive?"
"Not everyone can skydive. Skydivers must undergo formal and formal training, otherwise they will not be able to skydive. We cannot just skydive when flying."
Xiaoxin raised her delicate and white face and asked: "Brother Duduo, are all the people who fly airplanes very tall? Are there any height restrictions?"
"They are generally tall, but there are also some who are short in stature." Zheng Duoduo smiled and replied: "The most important thing you should have to fly an airplane is your skills, not your appearance or height."
Xiaoxin asked curiously: "What about the flight attendants? When we went to take the plane, many flight attendants were very beautiful! They must have a height limit, otherwise how could everyone be so tall?"
"Yes." Zheng Duoduo replied: "They have a lot of appearance restrictions. I don't know the specifics because each airline has different recruitment conditions."
Xiao Chong couldn't help but mutter: "Why are you asking so many questions? Are you going to be a stewardess?"
"No!" Xiaoxin shook her head: "I want to wait for the captain!"
Xiao Chong laughed.
Zheng Duoduo also laughed and patted Xiaoxin on the head.
Xiao Chong loudly said: "Are you a fool?! All the people who can be captains are men! Women can't!"
Xiaoxin stared and pouted, looking at Zheng Duoduo aggrievedly.
"Brother Dudo, why can't women? I don't believe it! How can men and women be unequal!"
Zheng Duoduo shook his head hurriedly and coaxed: "There are also female captains. If we, Xiaoxin, like it, then you should work hard."
"Hey!" Xiaoxin smiled happily.
Zheng Duoduo couldn't help but smile when he looked at her pure and lovely appearance.
In the blink of an eye, Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong both looked like girls and boys. I remember that when they moved here, they were still pregnant with sister Xue Ling.
Cheng Tianyuan came over and shouted: "If you want to be a female captain, your grades must be outstanding, right? If you don't even do your homework, how can you become a captain? Don't even fail to pass the college entrance examination!"
Xiaoxin shrank her head, not daring to be clingy to Zheng Duoduo anymore. She grabbed her schoolbag and reluctantly returned to the room.
Xiao Chong stuck out his tongue and slipped back to his room.
So, Xiao Yue was left sitting on Zheng Duoduo's lap, coquettishly doing this and that.
At this time, Xue's father came out and said with a smile: "Duoduo, Xiaoyue, come over and eat mung bean cakes."
Xiao Yue jumped down with a cheer and jumped forward to meet him.
Zheng Duoduo was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Uncle, leave it to Xiaoxin and the others. I will have dinner later."
"Ah Chun hasn't come back yet! It's not that early!" Dad Xue said with a smile: "Your aunt and others made these in the afternoon, specially for everyone to eat. You eat a few with Xiao Yue, and I will give some to Xiao Chong and the others.
indivual."
Cheng Tianyuan greeted: "Go wash your hands and eat while it's hot. You don't have to be polite when you come here. How come you've grown up and become alienated from us?"
"No!" Zheng Duoduo laughed and went to wash his hands.
After a while, Zhu Achun came back.
"I'm sorry, Duo Duo has caused trouble to you, hasn't it?"
Mother Xue asked funnyly: "He is not a child, what trouble can he cause us?"
Zheng Duoduo shouted happily: "Auntie! You are finally back!"
Zhu Achun held him in his arms and greeted him tenderly.
"Are you busy this month? How are you getting along with your colleagues? It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. I have to bring some autumn clothes when I go back to the dormitory this time. Auntie bought you two long-sleeved shirts. You start to work now, so you have to dress appropriately
Be more formal."
Zheng Duoduo couldn't help but say goodbye to everyone, and the mother and son went back to the next door.
Liu Ying entered the room and took Xiaohan out.
The little guy fell into a drowsy sleep and couldn't help complaining: "Grandma, I still want to sleep! I want to continue sleeping!"
"It won't work." Liu Ying explained: "It's already dark. If you continue to sleep, you will be unable to sleep at night."
"I don't care! I want to sleep!" Xiaohan said angrily.
Cheng Tianyuan had a stern face and a light voice: "Xiaohan, you have to be obedient. Naps are supposed to be taken in the afternoon, but you always go to bed at three or four o'clock. This is a very bad habit. We are going to have dinner. If you go to bed again, you will miss the dinner.
, I won’t be able to sleep well tonight and want to stay up late again, which is a vicious cycle.”
Xiaohan was a little afraid of Cheng Tianyuan and shrank her neck, not daring to act any more.
Liu Ying smiled lovingly: "Wash your face, drink some water, and eat a cake. I will go downstairs to play with my brothers and sisters in a while, and come back for dinner after dark."
"Okay!" The little guy liked this arrangement.
Cheng Tianyuan held her hand and said, "Mom, go pour some water and I'll wash her face."
Xiaohan didn't dare to say anything, so she just obeyed.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Chong and Xiao Xin completed their homework.
Xue's father held Xiao Yue's hand, and Cheng Muhai held Xiao Han's hand, taking them downstairs to play.
Liu Ying and Xue's mother were preparing dinner in the kitchen and chatting quietly.
Cheng Tianyuan helped pick vegetables. He remembered that the potted plants on the balcony had not been watered yet, so he turned back to the opposite side.
The children bought the potted plants when they went out, but they only wanted them to be fresh for a while and forgot about them within a few days. Xue Ling was always busy and didn't pay attention to housework, so he could only do the watering duty.
