Cheng Tianyuan was fine. After washing, he was in high spirits and went to visit his youngest daughter and son.
Xue Ling was hiding under the quilt, feeling exhausted and not wanting to get up at all.
Cheng Tianyuan came back soon and whispered: "Breakfast has been prepared. Mom called you to come over and eat. Xiao Chong woke up and was carried to the next door by Uncle Zheng and his family. Xiao Xin is still sleeping."
"I still want to sleep..." Xue Ling didn't want to move.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled fondly and kissed her forehead, "Eat something and go to bed in the afternoon. In the morning, I have to go to the old house to pay homage to my ancestors. I made an appointment with A Heng and the others to set off at half past nine."
Xue Ling didn't open her eyes and whispered, "What time is it?"
"It's almost eight o'clock now." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "A Heng and the others haven't come over for breakfast yet, so it's probably going to be soon."
"Then I'll sleep for another half hour." Xue Ling pulled the quilt over his head and muttered: "I'm very sleepy!"
Cheng Tianyuan knew that he was too greedy and tired her out, so he couldn't bear to call her anymore. He pulled the quilt over her head and turned around to sweep the floor.
Sister Achun is very diligent. She usually cleans the room when the two children go to bed.
He swept for a while and found that there was no dust, so he simply put the broom back.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside - Xue Huan and Xue Zhilan were wearing suits and leather shoes. The father and son were walking elegantly, chatting in low voices.
Cheng Tianyuan went out to greet them and asked, "Uncle Zhilan, were you okay last night? You drank a little too much."
"It's okay." Xue Zhilan explained with a smile: "I didn't drink much, mainly because I drank a little quickly, so I was a little dizzy. When I woke up, I was fine. I'm in good spirits!"
Xue Huan led the way to the opposite side and shouted with a smile: "My mother-in-law, I'm hungry, can I have breakfast?"
"Okay, okay!" Liu Ying said with a smile, "It's all hot! Come in and eat quickly!"
"Wow wow wow..." Xiaoxin's cry came from the room.
Zhu Achun rushed into the room in a hurry.
Xue Zhilan glared at his youngest son and scolded: "There are children at home, why are you yelling? It's rude and scares the children!"
Liu Ying hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Xue Huan was so apologetic that he hurriedly turned around and followed her, coaxing: "Xiao Xinxin, don't cry if you don't want to! It's my uncle's fault, and I will make it up to you."
Zhu Achun smiled and said: "I have stopped crying. Uncle Huan is holding me while Auntie prepares milk powder for breakfast."
Xue Huan hurriedly carried Xiaoxin over.
The little guy just cried, his big eyes were wet, and he blinked at Xue Huan.
Xue Huan's heart almost melted, and he kissed Xiaoxin's black hair, "Xiaoxin looks so cute!"
Xiaoxin thought he was playing with her and giggled.
Cheng Tianyuan came over and reached out to hug his daughter.
"Brother-in-law, let me help you again." Xue Huan said with a smile: "It's rare that I'm at home on vacation, so I'll help you carry her."
"Okay, I'll leave Xiaoxin to you for the next two days." Cheng Tianyuan was not polite at all, and said: "I can carry her over to sleep with you tonight, one on each side."
Xue Huan laughed loudly and said: "Forget it at night, uncle doesn't know how to change diapers or make milk powder."
Everyone laughed.
Xue Zhilan went to the kitchen to help, carrying dishes and rice cakes.
Liu Ying couldn't help but ask: "Where is my mother-in-law? Isn't she going to make barley soup and water chestnut soup?"
Xue Zhilan paused and said with a smile: "She just woke up. Depending on her, we, father and son, may have to drink the northwest wind."
Liu Ying shook her head and said: "Don't be afraid, we have enough to eat anyway. Everyone eats on a first come, first served basis."
"Okay." Xue Zhilan nodded and asked: "What time did A Fang get off work last night? The TV station is so busy at the end of the year, she must be too busy. My mother-in-law, she is at home during the holidays these days. Stew more tonics for her and take a good rest.
Mention. When I’m full, I’ll go over there and get some isinglass and bird’s nest.”
Liu Ying shook her head when she heard this: "No, no, that stuff is too expensive. I'll save it for when she gets pregnant."
Xue Zhilan chuckled: "It doesn't matter, I'll ask Ah Heng to buy it when she gets pregnant. The child has to work hard and needs more supplements."
"You have worked harder, so you should take more supplements." Liu Ying said, "How many days have you been home a year? You eat food from the hospital canteen for three meals a day, which is even less nutritious. You are older, so you should take more supplements."
"No, we are too old to take too many supplements." Xue Zhilan said: "Three meals are enough."
Liu Ying smiled bitterly: "Don't work too hard, the children are old, let them make money."
"Yes." Xue Zhilan whispered: "I'm going to retire soon. I'll work for a few more years."
Liu Ying reminded: "There are also small steamed buns in the steamer. Ah Chun made them earlier - they are very fragrant."
"Hey!" Xue Zhilan responded.
Zhu Achun fed Xiaoxin milk, while Cheng Tianyuan brought Xue Huan to have breakfast.
Xue Huan looked at the festive food on the table and couldn't help but laugh: "It looks like many of them are sweet."
"We eat these during the Chinese New Year." Liu Ying reminded: "Xiaolongbao and small intestine rice rolls are not sweet, just eat them and see."
Xue Huan asked in surprise: "Small intestine powder is a snack in the south, right? I haven't seen it in a long time."
He took one and ate it with relish.
Liu Ying smiled and said, "Xiao Yi sent it here just now. He said he steamed it himself in the morning."
Xue Huan guessed that they were Zheng Sanyuan's children next door, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Is their ancestral home from the south?"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "They are all from the north. Uncle Zheng said that Xiaoyi went to learn cooking during the winter vacation. This is a southern snack she learned to make. She has been making it for her family when she has time these days, and everyone likes it.
Praise her for the delicious food. Make some today and let us try them."
"It's delicious." Xue Huan smiled: "We had it before when we were in the provincial capital, and it tasted like this. The little sister made it very authentically."
"It's pretty good." Xue Zhilan also tasted one and praised: "It's better to raise a daughter and know how to be considerate of her family."
Liu Ying said with a smile: "Xiaoyi is in high school and has a lot of homework, but the child is very well-behaved and helps with housework as soon as she comes home. She is the only girl in the family without a mother, so she goes to school during the winter vacation.
Cooking skills.”
"Good boy." Xue Zhilan smiled and praised: "Xiao Yi is now eighteen years old this year and is becoming more and more beautiful."
At this time, Zhu Achun hugged Xiaoxin over. The little guy opened his eyes wide, looked around with his chubby white face, and then grinned at Xue Huan.
Xue Huan smiled happily and said: "Baby, wait, uncle Xue Huan will hug you when you are full."
Liu Ying couldn't help but praise: "I think my Xiaoxin will be very beautiful when she grows up!"
"That's for sure." Xue Zhilan smiled and said: "My father is good-looking and my mother is beautiful, so the children are naturally more beautiful."
Cheng Tianyuan ate quickly, was full first, and held his little daughter in his arms.
"Wang Po sells melons and boasts about herself. The children she gives birth to are the most beautiful no matter how you look at them."
Everyone laughed.
Xue Zhilan reminded: "It's eight o'clock now, we can't leave too late. Your brother and the others haven't woken up yet, right? Let them sleep for half an hour longer, and you can go over and urge them."
"Okay." Xue Huan responded.
At this time, a child's cry came from the door.
I saw Zheng Xiaoyi dressed beautifully, a little embarrassed, holding Xiao Chong in his arms, shouting in embarrassment: "Brother Cheng! Aunt Achun! Xiao Chong is unhappy and crying!"
Zhu Achun took Xiao Chong with a smile and said, "He must be hungry. I'll make some milk powder for him to drink."
Cheng Tianyuan waved and said, "I'll hold you while you rush. It's faster this way."
Zhu Achun handed the child to him again, turned around and hurriedly went to make milk powder.
When Xiao Chong saw his father and his sister, he quickly stopped crying and looked around with tears in his eyes.
