part25: Uneasy two siblings
After ten o'clock, the community smells more like fireworks than in the morning and night. From time to time, you can see adults and children walking around and shouting in twos and threes. On the stone steps next to the flower bed in the park, a row of old people and children sit and bask in the sun. The scene is very happy.
Feel warm.
The winter sun makes people feel warm. Xiao Ningchan stretched out her hand and let the sun shine on her palm. She didn't feel much, but the moment she touched the sun, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"Brother, the weather is nice today."
Xiao Anting nodded, "Yeah, pretty good."
Xiao Ningchan looked at the people next to her and discussed with a smile, "Let's go to the supermarket to buy something to eat in the afternoon."
Xiao Anting looked at her sideways, "I still don't know what you are thinking. There is so much food at home and it's not enough? What else do you want to buy?"
"Potato chips, spicy strips, chicken wings and chicken feet..."
"It's all a mess," Xiao Anting frowned and looked at her dissatisfied, "junk food, if you continue to eat it, you'll get sick."
Xiao Ningchan disagreed, "What's the point? I've been eating it since I was a snack and it won't make me sick. That's what my grandparents said. If you can afford it, don't eat it."
Xiao Anting was silent, and after a while he hesitated and said: "If my parents find out, I will be scolded again, and now there are a lot of cookies and candies at home."
"Those don't taste good," Xiao Ningchan hugged someone's arm and acted coquettishly, "Brother, go ahead, we still have so much time at home, buy them and eat them while watching TV, wow~ you don't want us to just play with our phones every day, big time
Keep your eyes peeled."
"That's because you are not doing your job properly. I have a lot of things to do."
Xiao Ningchan put aside his hand, arrogantly saying, "Huh, if you don't want to go, I won't go. I'll go by myself. Don't eat it after I buy it."
"If you don't want to eat, I won't eat. I don't care about it."
Xiao Ningchan glared at him and walked forward angrily.
Xiao Anting looked at the menacing figure with a mixture of laughter and tears, shook his head and followed.
The two brothers and sisters arrived at the home of Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao who lived in the countryside before 11:30. At this time, Grandma Xiao was preparing to make lunch. When she saw the two coming back, her eyes narrowed with laughter, "Atingchanchan, oh, you're back.
, I have been nagging your grandfather for the past two days that you two are not coming back yet."
Xiao Ningchan smiled and took Grandma Xiao's arm, leaned against her affectionately, and said in a coquettish voice, "Aren't we back now? Come grandma, let's cook while you and grandpa sit outside."
Xiao Anting took the apron and rolled his eyes at the talker, "Just don't make trouble. Go out and don't get in the way."
Although she was very dissatisfied with what he said, Xiao Ningchan was also self-aware. She kicked the person with her foot without any pain and pulled Grandma Xiao out of the kitchen. "Come on, Grandma, let my brother do the cooking. He can still cook. Let's
Come watch TV.”
Grandpa Xiao was digging something aside, "There are oranges, apples and bananas. You can take whatever you want. Your uncle came here two days ago to get them."
Grandma Xiao waved her hands and said in disapproval: "Oh, we'll eat later. You still need to eat after eating these. Let's wait until the younger brothers and sisters go back and then take them back."
"No, no, no," Xiao Ningchan waved her hands hurriedly, "I still have a lot at home, I'll leave them for you to eat. Come on, grandparents, let's go out and watch TV."
Although he said this, Grandpa Xiao still brought out a plate of oranges, apples and bananas, then sat on the sofa and chatted to Xiao Ningchan, "Little sister, when did you come back? Did you come back with your brother?"
"Yeah," Xiao Ningchan nodded, "Yes, the third brother is mainly doing internships and project reports this semester. He can come back anytime."
Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao didn’t know whether they understood or not. Anyway, they nodded after hearing this, and then asked her how she was doing at school, whether her classmates were good, whether it was difficult to study, how she did in the exam...
Xiao Ningchan listened to this series of questions, scratched her head in a funny and helpless way, answered them one by one, and finally concluded: "Oh, grandparents, everything is fine for me at school. Don't worry, my brother is fine too. What about you? How are you at home?"
I told you to come with us but you didn’t come.”
Grandma Xiao took her hand, patted her, and said kindly: "Aren't you not at home when I'm with you, so what's the difference? It's better to be in my hometown, where the neighbors can still chat."
Xiao Ningchan frowned as he heard this, and it seemed that this was also the case, so he stopped talking about it and started telling them interesting things about himself in school.
After dinner, Xiao Anting and Xiao Ningchan chatted with Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao for a while, and then left.
Xiao Ningchan thought about the way her grandparents looked at them with reluctance just now, and also thought about their daily life with only two people and no children or grandchildren. She felt inexplicably sad, "Brother, why don't your grandparents come to live with us?"
It would be troublesome for us to come here if they are here.”
Xiao Anting was quiet and spoke after a while, "Maybe people are getting old. In the past, they left their hometowns to work hard. Now that they are old, they want to return to their roots."
"Wouldn't it be better to stay with us?"
"It's not bad," Xiao Anting hesitated before speaking, "Maybe he didn't want to disturb us. I don't understand this either. Why didn't you ask your grandparents just now?"
"I asked," Xiao Ningchan looked at him faintly, "Grandma is just like you said, you can chat with the neighbors."
Xiao Anting looked proud. It seemed that I was right and he understood the old man's thoughts quite well.
Xiao Ningchan glanced at him with disgust, strode forward, and said in a clear voice: "Then I won't leave with you. I have to go to the supermarket to buy things. You can go home first."
Xiao Anting was speechless. He still remembered this and hurriedly followed.
Needless to say, Xiao Anting took someone to the supermarket to buy a large bag of snacks. Xiao Ningchan took a picture with her mobile phone and posted it on WeChat Moments with the text: My trophy!
Seeing this, Xiao Anting hurriedly asked her, "Hey, have you blocked your parents in your WeChat Moments? Your parents will be dead if they see it."
Xiao Ningchan looked at him with wide eyes. Xiao Anting knew from her expression that this person had forgotten, and urged: "Then delete it quickly, hurry up, hurry up."
Xiao Ningchan hurriedly opened her Moments and deleted the post. After deleting it, she still felt her heartbeat racing. Her voice was a little uneasy, "Brother, do you think your parents have seen it?"
Xiao Anting hesitated, and after a while he hesitated and said: "Probably not, it's only been two minutes, has anyone liked or commented on it?"
"Yes, I forgot who I was looking at."
Xiao Anting took a deep breath, you are so powerful, I will be killed by you.
Xiao Ningchan knew that she was careless and not thoughtful this time, but if she didn't do things carefully, she had to be brave enough to take responsibility. "Brother, don't worry. If my parents find out about it, I will tell them that I bought it. You have no idea."
Xiao Anting looked at her and said with sympathy for himself: "It's weird for my parents to believe this. Forget it, let's wait until they come back. We don't know if they saw it or not. Go back first and put things away."
Xiao Ningchan raised her hand and promised, "I will definitely hide it, and my parents will definitely not find it."
Xiao Anting nodded, I still believe you on this matter.
When Xiao Junhui and Bai Jingshu came back in the evening, Xiao Anting and Xiao Ningchan were worried. They were afraid that they would suddenly ask what they bought in the supermarket today and where they went. However, neither of them mentioned it until dinner, so they became worried.
It took one night for the two siblings to finally feel relieved.
Xiao Ningchan told Ye Yanxia at the beginning of the matter, followed by the development at various stages, and finally told him the result. She also lamented that it was a good thing that Xiao Junhui and Bai Jingshu didn't know, otherwise she would have been miserable.
Ye Yanxia looked at her childlike behavior and thought that it was really cute, and the two began another long conversation that night.
For many students, time flies very fast as long as they are on vacation. Although they have nothing to do every day, time passes before they know it.
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the twelfth lunar month, and every household was cleaning up in preparation for the new year. Xiao Anting and Xiao Ningchan had been washing things for two days, and they were too tired to move at all.
Seeing them like this, Bai Jingshu felt disgusted and said, "You just wash some things and clean them and chatter non-stop. I clean at home like this all the time. It's not the same. You just lack exercise."
Xiao Ningchan opened her eyes wide and argued: "What? We are cleaning the house from inside to outside. We have wiped the tables, floors, windows, and washed all kinds of things. In the past, we just mopped the floor. Now we are cleaning every corner.
Nothing has been left untouched, it’s like the home has been renovated.”
"Oh~" Bai Jingshu looked at her with a smile, "It's amazing. It's been renovated. It's just been cleaned. Do you want to be so exaggerated?"
"That's not an exaggeration," Xiao Ningchan looked at Xiao Junhui, who was watching the excitement, "Dad, do you think our house is super clean and beautiful?"
Xiao Junhui looked at her with a smile and said without hesitation, "That's right, my little sister is the most capable. Look how clean our house is."
Xiao Ningchan looked proud, "That's right, I'm so tired. Take a shower."
Bai Jingshu looked at her son on the side and said calmly: "Ating, you have to arrange these tables and chairs. I'm going to cook. Also, put away the clothes and quilts upstairs."
Xiao Anting: "..."
He looked at his father and mother and sighed resignedly.
After Xiao Ningchan washed up, Bai Jingshu hadn't cooked yet, so she went back to her room and lay on the bed playing with her mobile phone.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone is on holiday. Those who usually have no time to chat now have time to chat. Xiao Ningchan, who has been very popular since she was a child, has a lot of messages on her phone every day, although most of the time those messages are trivial things.
, but these people have relatively good relationships with her, so she is still quite happy.
After reading everyone's messages and replying to them one by one, Xiao Ningchan put down her phone and sighed softly, feeling a little melancholy for no reason.
After lying on the bed for a few minutes, Xiao Ningchan took the phone, opened QQ, found someone's name, and clicked in. She looked at the chat messages between the two of them, frowned and thought for a long time, typed and deleted, deleted and typed again, and finally said irritably.
