The meal was served, and everyone sat down to eat.
Xiao Yue sat next to Xue's father and ate quickly.
Xiaohan has already eaten millet porridge, and now eats vegetables and meat with a small spoon.
Yangyang feasts like locusts crossing the border and sweeping across the table.
Xue Ling couldn't help but said warmly: "Yangyang, please slow down."
"Hmm!"
Cheng Tianyuan on the side didn't know how to taste his food. He didn't eat much and didn't pick up much vegetables.
Xue Ling sighed secretly and gave him a piece of roast duck.
Cheng Tianyuan came to his senses and ate slowly.
Xiaoxin ate the duck leg, her pretty little face was very satisfied.
She is twelve years old this year and is in the stage of turning into a young girl. She has inherited the advantages of her father and mother very well. She is tall and has long legs, and has a pretty face as white as egg white and a charming face.
Xiao Chong originally wanted to eat duck legs, but later found out that his second brother had eaten them all. He was secretly disappointed, so he simply took a large piece of duck wing and ate it slowly.
"Sister! I want legs!" Xiaohan pouted coquettishly.
Xiaoxin giggled and felt proud.
"I'm sorry, you spoke too late, I've already bitten you."
Xiaohan cried "Wow!"
Mother Xue quickly coaxed: "Xiao Xin, why don't you give it to your sister?"
Liu Ying asked Xiaohan: "That was bitten by my sister, do you want it? No, there is saliva from my sister!"
Xiaohan shouted angrily: "I want it! I want it!"
Cheng Muhai couldn't help but persuade: "Xiao Xin, you are the elder sister. If the elder sister wants to give up to the younger sister, let the younger sister give up."
"Yes!" Liu Ying said with a loving smile: "You are a good sister, please give in to me."
Xiaoxin curled her lips and threw the duck legs into Xiaohan's bowl.
Xiaohan instantly burst into laughter [81 Chinese website www.x81zw.me], grabbed the duck leg and started to chew it.
Xue Ling looked at this scene and sighed secretly.
There is indeed something wrong with the father-in-law and mother-in-law's views on child rearing. On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. After all, in the eyes of many elders, it is correct for older children to let younger children go.
But they ignored a big problem.
The older child is older and knows how to be humble to the younger one, and can develop the habit of being humble to others in the future. But what about the younger child? In the long run, she will think that it is natural for others to give in to her, and she should focus on her preferences and what she likes.
It's all hers.
There is a ten-year age difference between my husband and my sister-in-law. I must have given in to my younger sister a lot in the past. After all, in the eyes of my parents, giving in to my younger sister in everything is the right thing to do.
Father Xue put down the bowl and asked warmly: "Xiao Yue, do you want another bowl?"
"Half a bowl." Xiao Yue explained with a smile: "I'm not so hungry after eating mung bean cake."
Father Xue reached out and filled half the bowl and handed it to Xiao Yue.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Xiao Yue said crisply.
Father Xue said warmly: "Eat quickly. Your mother has to work the night shift tonight, so you can sleep with Brother Xiao Chong tonight."
"Why can't I sleep with Grandma and you?" Xiao Yue pouted and asked, "We used to sleep together."
Father Xue smiled and said: "Because Xiao Yue has grown up and is a little boy. Little boys should sleep with boys."
Xiao Chong interrupted as if he was disgusted: "Do you want it? I don't want it if you don't want it! You go to the second brother's room!"
When Xue Yang heard this, he stopped his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Xiao Yue, if you come to the second brother's room, you will be used as a pillow by the second brother!"
Xiao Yue immediately got scared and said, "I want Third Brother, not you!"
Xue Yang snickered proudly.
Xiao Han on the side listened and muttered coquettishly: "Grandma, I also want to go to the third brother's room to sleep."
"No!" Xiao Chong rolled his eyes and said, "My bed is only that big, and it's enough for two people to sleep in! Don't come! Otherwise, I'll kick you out of bed at night!"
Xiaohan snorted angrily: "Why can he? I can't?"
Xiao Yue quickly answered: "Because I am a boy, and my third brother is also a boy."
Xiaohan was still young and was not so clear about the boundaries between boys and girls, so she couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
"Boys and girls can't sleep together casually. Only couples can sleep together!"
Mom, they also sleep together."
Xiaohan tilted her head, thought about it seriously, and asked, "Why don't my father and mother sleep together?"
Little Yuehu asked: "Why? My uncle and aunt are husband and wife! My father said that before I was born, my uncle married my aunt, and they entertained us in the hotel downstairs. I heard that there were many people!"
"I don't know." Xiaohan muttered: "My mother said she doesn't want my father anymore. My father hasn't been home for a long time, and I miss him so much. He wanted to buy me toys! But no! I'm angry!"
I thought it was a child chirping, but no one took it seriously, until they heard this, several elders lowered their heads in embarrassment, pretending not to hear, and just minding their own food.
At this time, Xue's mother seemed to remember something and said: "I received a call from Zhilan yesterday, saying that they will be back in the next two days."
"Really?!" Liu Ying said with a smile: "That's great! I'm tired from playing and I'm finally back."
Xiao Yue recognized his grandfather's name and cheered happily.
Dad Xue smiled and said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, I guess I will come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"What is the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Xiaohan asked.
Xue Yang is very proficient in popular science: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival with a long history in my country. It falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are moon cakes to eat and there are a lot of fruits to eat. We pay attention to reunion during the festival, and people with a full moon are also full."
Xiao Yue happily said: "I ate snowskin mooncakes last year and thought they were delicious!"
"Yes!" Xue Yang, a big foodie, also remembered it and said, "Uncle A Heng brought that back from the south. He froze it in the refrigerator and took it out. The skin is cool and it's so refreshing to eat!"
Xiaoxin also likes sweets and couldn't help but say: "When Uncle A Heng comes, let him buy a dozen boxes!"
"Greedy!" Xue Ling glanced at her daughter and said, "Those are mooncakes that are only available in the south. You can't just buy them if you want. Snowskin mooncakes are not cheap. You want so many in one go, are you embarrassed?"
Xiaoxin stuck out her tongue and put down the rice.
Father Xue was full and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Ling, have you visited your third uncle recently?"
"...No." Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "I've been a little busy these past few days, so I haven't been there yet."
Father Xue sighed softly and said, "When you have time, drive to the courtyard to take a look. Your third uncle can't get out of bed now, so he relies on two brothers, Asheng, to take care of him alternately."
The third uncle is already a hundred years old. He has not been able to walk very well since the year before last and can only move around with a cane.
I was aging faster last year, and gradually I could no longer even walk. I could only read books and play with herbal medicine at home, and use a wheelchair to move around.
Xue Ling nodded and said: "I asked Jiaxue to buy a state-of-the-art wheelchair abroad. It has been more than half a month. I estimate that it should arrive in the next two days. When I pick up the wheelchair, I will go see San Bo
.”
"Yeah." Xue's father smiled bitterly: "Both Asheng brothers are in their seventies, so they can be considered old people, but they still have to take care of their hundred-year-old father. Fortunately, with their father here, they are not counted as old people."
old."
Xiao Yue curiously asked: "Grandpa, how old are you?"
"I...I forgot." Father Xue replied with a smile.
Xiaohan stared and asked, "You don't even know how old you are?"
Xue Yang chuckled and said: "You little fool! Grandpa must know! He deliberately lied to you!"
Xiaohan asked: "How old is he?"
Xue Yang thought about it seriously and replied: "...I forgot about it too!"
Father Xue laughed loudly.
Xue Ling's eyes were dim.
My parents are almost eighty in the blink of an eye.
