The holidays are always in a hurry, and the summer vacation passes in the blink of an eye.
Four old people came back with four children. Everyone was a little tanned, especially Ran Ran and Yang Yang, who were half tanned.
Even Xiaoxin, who had always been as white as egg white, turned a lot darker, making Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan laugh so hard.
Xiao Chong is pretty much the same.
Xue's father explained: "He doesn't like to go out and wander around, especially at noon. He definitely doesn't go out. He caught a cold after getting into the water for a while, and he stayed in the house to recuperate for several days, so he didn't get as dark as his brothers."
Xue Ling hugged his little arm and asked, "Why do you have a cold? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xiao Chong fell into his mother's arms and said coquettishly: "My head feels very bad, I feel dizzy. I feel very uncomfortable!"
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at him and whispered: "You are a boy. You just have a minor illness. Are you so pretentious?"
Xiao Chong secretly stuck out his tongue.
Ranran and Yangyang both prepared gifts for everyone and asked Xiaoxin to deliver them.
Xiaoxin hugged two pebbles and ran next door to find Xiao Tietou and Duoduo.
"Brother Duo! Brother Tie! We are back!"
Duoduo was still in the house catching up on summer vacation homework, and little Tietou was tinkering with toys in the living room. Hearing Xiaoxin's voice, he hurried out to open the door.
"Xinxin!" Little Tietou was so happy that he picked up the little guy.
Xiaoxin chuckled and said: "Beautiful stone! Here you go!"
Tietou looked at the sleek and beautiful cobblestones and smiled happily, "Why did Xinxin go so long? Did you enjoy it?"
"Happy!" Xiaoxin whispered softly: "Mountains, mountains, water, water, so beautiful! We played in the water, took a boat, there was a lot of water and bamboo! My brothers are happy! I am happy too!"
Tietou looked at her carefully and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"Xinxin turned black!"
Xiaoxin pouted her lips and muttered: "It's not pretty when it's dark, right? Brother Tie doesn't like me anymore, right?! Humph!"
Tie Tou smiled and shook his head: "No, no! Brother Tie will always like Xinxin very much!"
Xiaoxin narrowed her eyes with a smile and asked, "Where is brother Duoduo? Give him the stone."
Tietou rubbed her hair and explained: "He didn't finish his homework seriously. School is about to start, and he still has a lot of homework to catch up on. He is currently catching up on homework in the house!"
"What about you?" Xiaoxin asked, "Have you finished your homework? Is it too much? My brothers have all done it!"
"It's been done a long time ago." Tietou pinched her pretty face.
At this time, Zhu Achun came in from the balcony to collect clothes.
Xiaoxin, who had always been close to her, hurriedly struggled out of Tietou's arms and ran towards Zhu Achun.
"Auntie! Auntie!"
Zhu Achun smiled in surprise, quickly threw down his clothes and picked up the little guy.
"No wonder there's so much excitement next door - it turns out you guys are back! Wow! Xiaoxin has gained a little weight and gotten a little darker!"
Xiaoxin pouted her mouth in grievance and muttered: "The third brother called me a 'black pig'!"
Zhu Achun and Tietou both laughed.
When Duoduo heard the child's voice, he couldn't sit still and rushed out.
"Wow! Xiaoxin is back! Are you guys back? Great! Tietou, let's go to the park with Ranran and the others to play hide-and-seek in the afternoon!"
Tietou nodded: "Okay!"
Xiaoxin raised her little hands in a hurry: "I want to go too!"
Duoduo rolled his eyes in disgust: "Forget it about you and your third brother, you are too young to take care of you!"
Xiaoxin pouted in grievance, said "hum" angrily, and turned away.
Tietou divided the pebbles into pieces for Duoduo, and then went to the kitchen to help make lunch.
Duoduo shouted: "Auntie! What should we eat for lunch?"
Zhu Achun replied: "There is your favorite fried chicken wings."
"Wow! That's great!" Duoduo couldn't help but said, "Come on, have a few more!"
Zhu Achun chuckled: "Fried chicken wings are easy to get angry after eating, so you can't eat too much. Your dad can't eat too much fried food, so from now on we will eat it for lunch. When your dad comes back in the evening, we will eat something light."
"Okay!" Duoduo said with a smile, "Auntie, you can arrange it!"
At this time, Zheng Xiaoyi walked in from outside, and his lower abdomen was obviously protruding.
She and Xue Huan had already obtained a marriage certificate, and Mrs. Chen asked her to move over there to live together, but during the day when Xue Huan went to work, she almost stayed at her parents' house.
Anyway, it only takes a few dozen steps to go back and forth, so it doesn’t take much effort at all.
"Duoduo, I heard you shouting from a distance that you wanted to eat chicken wings!"
Duoduo laughed and asked, "Don't you also like to eat?"
Zhu Achun poked his head out and said with a smile: "Xiao Yi is here? Sit down quickly. Tietou, there are some apples over there. Cut two to share with my sister and brother."
Tietou responded: "Okay!"
Zheng Xiaoyi walked in with a smile: "Tietou, I'll do it."
"It's okay." Tietou said, "Just rest, you'll be fine soon."
Zhu Achun looked at her four-month-old belly and couldn't help but smile and narrow her eyes.
"How's your appetite these days? Do you like the sour and vinegar pork ribs I made yesterday?"
"I like it!" Zheng Xiaoyi said with a smile: "I don't have a bad taste anymore, everything I eat tastes delicious. I'm just afraid of being too fat... I've gained ten pounds recently!"
Zhu Achun shook his head hurriedly: "Where are you fat? You used to be thin, but now you are just right. Besides, you are tall, it doesn't matter if you are fatter, you won't be able to tell at all."
Zheng Xiaoyi happily gnawed on the apple and asked: "Auntie, my dad will come back to eat in the evening, right?"
"Yeah." Zhu Achun explained: "Your father and Datong went to the land by the lake last night. After they came back, they discussed that they would start construction at the end of the year and plan to build a small villa there."
The three children all stared in surprise: "Really?!"
"Really." Zhu Achun smiled and said: "Your father wants to buy an upstairs suite for Mrs. Xue Ling. Unfortunately, it is within the lease for the time being. We have to wait a while. Duoduo is almost eighteen years old, and Tietou is also fourteen.
They will all be big boys soon. Your father said to build a villa with as many rooms as possible and a bigger living room. When you get married, each of you will prepare a house for you. You can be independent if you want.
It’s okay for us to live together.”
When Zheng Xiaoyi heard this, he couldn't help but pout: "Auntie, you are going to move out after building the villa - what should I do?"
Duoduo laughed loudly: "You are already married, what do you want to do?! Please! You will live with your brother-in-law from now on, but you can't live with us!"
Zhu Achun hurriedly reassured: "It's not too far from here, you can get there quickly by car. Your dad said it only takes about 20 minutes by bicycle."
"But it's still too far!" Zheng Xiaoyi said aggrievedly: "Now you can come back in just a few steps. It's completely different if you have to go downstairs or go out!"
Zheng Duoduo stuck out his tongue: "You're already married, so don't think about coming back all day long! Who told you to get married!"
Zheng Xiaoyi blushed and threw him an apple core.
While cutting gourds and melons, Tietou said: "If we build it by the end of the year, it will probably take a year at the earliest. By then, my sister will have already given birth, and the child will be several months old. Anyway, there are many rooms in the place where I built my house.
If you want to live there, you can live there, my father and my mother will definitely welcome you."
Zheng Xiaoyi smiled sweetly and happily, "That's right! Tietou is still considerate!"
Duoduo pouted and pushed the iron head.
"Chen Tiezhu, aren't you iron? You should have a heart of stone!"
Tietou stuck out his tongue at him and continued busy.
Zheng Xiaoyi pinched Duoduo's ears and hummed: "Do you think Tietou is the same as you? Zheng Duoduo, let me tell you - you are superfluous! Your name is the best reflection of you!"
"Wow! You've had enough! It hurts! Be careful I tell my brother-in-law!"
"Go! Go!"
"A married daughter throws water away! Auntie, drive her out!"
Zhu Achun laughed hard when he saw the few of them playing together. Seeing that it was almost noon, he hurriedly went to cook.
