BXBX NOVEL Chapter 219 - 219 Chapter 218, Felt Comfortable
Wang Yuechu was a little surprised and was about to speak when Ji Zi’ang immediately stood up when he saw Li Xu’s expression. “I’ll change right away!”
Wang Yuechu beamed with a smile and gave the remaining two sets to Ji Zixuan and Shuo Shuo.
As expected, every child got one.
A moment later, the children all changed into new clothes.
Ji Zi’ang, who had initially disliked the rustic clothes, felt comfortable after wearing them.
This was too comfortable. It was so warm and soft.
Ji Zi’ang imitated Wang Yuechu and tucked his small hands into his sleeves. He lay on the heated brick bed and let out a long sigh.
Looking at his son, Li Xu could not help but laugh.
After settling the children, Zhang Kun went outside and pushed the tricycle and bicycle.
Then, he brought in all the gifts from the tricycle. Wang Yuechu, Zhang Dali, and Zhang Jun went down.
The old couple had been complaining about Zhang Kun spending money recklessly. Zhang Kun said that Li Xu bought these things.
Only a few children were left in the house, as well as Li Xu and Hao Meiting, the two sisters-in-law.
Hao Meiting was afraid that Li Xu would be embarrassed, so she tried her best to find a topic to talk about. “Sister-in-law, it’s not easy to walk on the road, is it?”
Li Xu nodded. “Yes, the snow is frozen, and the bike is slippery!”
After a pause, she asked again, “Have you given your child a name yet?”
Hao Meiting smiled awkwardly. “Not yet, I haven’t registered yet. Let’s talk about it when he goes to school!”
Shuoshuo stood beside Hao Meiting, his pair of lively eyes darting back and forth between the Ji Yuanyuan siblings.
Ji Yuanyuan casually picked up a piece of candy from the plate on the heated brick bed and teased him. “Come here, I’ll give it to you!”
Hao Meiting originally thought that since she was a stranger, her son would definitely not go over.
After all, he did not even give a face to his own uncle.
Just as she was about to coax him over, she did not expect her son to walk over to Ji Yuanyuan with unsteady steps.
He even took the initiative to call out to him, “Big Sister!”
Ji Yuanyuan rubbed his little head. “You’re awesome!”
As she spoke, she placed the candy in his hand.
After not seeing him for a few months, this little fellow’s words were clearer than before.
This call of “Sister”could be said to be perfectly articulate.
Ji Zi’ang, who was at the side, imitated Ji Yuanyuan and took the candy to tease him. “Call me Brother!”
However, Shuoshuo turned his face away and did not look at him at all. Instead, he stared at Ji Yuanyuan with his big eyes and called out again, “Big Sister!”
“So obedient!” Ji Yuanyuan praised with a smile!
Ji Zi’ang was dumbfounded. He nudged Ji Zixuan. “Big Brother, let him call you. See if he calls you.”
Ji Zixuan was also quite curious as to whether this little guy only looked down on Zi’ang or just liked Yuanyuan.
He moved closer and took the candy. “Call me Big Brother!”
Shuoshuo ignored him and did not even give him a glance.
Ji Zixuan rubbed his nose in embarrassment. “It seems like he only likes Yuanyuan.”
Hao Meiting also found it strange. She looked at her son and asked, “You like Big Sister?”
Shuoshuo did not know what liking was, so he repeated, “Big Sister!”
Ji Yuanyuan did not expect herself to be so popular with children.
She took the candy and played with Shuoshuo patiently.
Zhang Kun made the lunch. Zhang Jun and Hao Meiting were helping below with their spouse.
Li Xu was supposed to go down too, but Wang Yuechu held her hand and kept talking to her.
There was no thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month this year. The New Year’s Eve was on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month .
Zhang Kun also prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner.
There was no television at home, and the only sound that accompanied the New Year’s Eve dinner was the crackling sound of firecrackers outside.
Their big family, a total of ten people, sat around a table and raised their cups together.
Under the same moonlight, the Li family’s big family also laughed and cheered.
Although Li Xu had left this year, Meng Xiaoning had come. Therefore, Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua were still very happy.
“Our New Year’s wishes are very simple. Next year, Xiao Lei and Xiaoning will give us a big fat grandchild. Xiao Yong, hurry up and find someone to marry.”
When Li Yong heard this, his expression didn’t change at all.
He had heard these words for several years and was already used to them.
On the other hand, Meng Xiaoning’s face was a little red when she heard the old woman’s words.
Li Lei smiled and didn’t say anything. He just held Meng Xiaoning’s hand tightly under the table.
The Qin family of four was spending this year with Qin Xiaomin’s family of three.
Qin Xiaomin’s younger brother went to school abroad. They didn’t celebrate the spring festival abroad, so he didn’t have a holiday.
...
The few of them surrounded the spacious dining table. Nanny Xiao Qi was in the kitchen, preparing the last soup.
The adults were talking about national affairs. Qin Mucheng couldn’t get a word in. He could only turn his head and watch the television.
The Spring Festival Gala had already started. A round of applause rang out as two men appeared in the audience seats.
“Friends, I’ve missed you guys so much.” The moment this line came out, there was another round of applause.
Qin Mucheng couldn’t help but sigh.
I miss you so much too!
“The year of the Tiger is coming. I wish everyone good health…”
Listening to the words on the television, Qin Junshan sighed, “In a blink of an eye, it’s already 1998.”
Qin Zhiye continued, “Yeah, time passes really fast. The scenes of our childhood seem to still be vivid in our minds. Mucheng has already grown so big.”
Qin Junshan looked at Qin Mucheng and reached out to touch his head. “Yeah, our Mucheng is already 12 years old. He will get married in ten years. Maybe I can even see the birth of my great-grandson!”
“You will definitely see it.” Qin Mucheng was a little unhappy when he heard Qin Junshan’s words and said with a straight face.
...
Qin Junshan couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, Grandpa will definitely see it. Then you have to work hard!”
Qin Mucheng pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. He turned around and went back to watching TV.
Qin Junshan looked at his precious eldest grandson and laughed even more happily.
“Big Brother, I really envy you. Hao Wen did well in his career, and he also took care of his family well. He got married at a young age and let you have a grandson early on,” Niu Ailan said sarcastically, “Take a look at our ancestor, a small accountant. He always talks about his career and doesn’t want to get married early.”
Seeing that Qin Xiaomin was absent-minded, she reached out and patted her back. “When your brother was your age, Mu Cheng could crawl all over the floor! His marriage didn’t delay his career!”
Qin Xiaomin said with a bitter face, “How can brother Hao Wen be the same as me? He and Sister-in-law are childhood sweethearts. If they have good relationship, they will naturally get married. I want to get married, but you guys…”
Didn’t you guys not agree?!
Qin Xiaomin mumbled, but she didn’t say the last sentence.
Qin Haowen and Cheng Shuqin looked at each other and understood what Qin Xiaomin meant.
She had someone she liked, but her family didn’t agree?
Qin Zhiye saw that the mother and daughter were fighting again, so he quickly tried to persuade them, “Okay, okay. Let’s not talk about this tonight. Let’s talk about something happy.”
