Su Xiaong had just finished calling out, and before she had ti to give her dear mother the warst hug of winter, she was interrupted by a calm voice with a cold snort,
"Always thinking about mom and dad, but not about grandpa..."
Xiao ng, with her dexterity, although Su Chengji had opened his arms waiting for his daughter to fall into them, Bai Fengmao’s slightly jealous snort made Xiao ng turn around swiftly to dive into her grandpa’s embrace,
"Of course, I miss my grandpa the most! Oh, grandpa, you’re even more handso!"
Her granddaughter flattered him, Bai Fengmao burst into hearty laughter, not to ntion Su Xiaong, the big mischief, also followed by two little mischiefs.
"Great-grandpa! Great-grandpa, red envelopes, red envelopes!"
As soon as Shuangshuang spoke, Xiao ng shivered thrice.
Though they say kids say the darndest things, when a child says sothing, others always think the parents taught them.
"Haha! Alright, giving red envelopes, big red envelopes!"
Bai Fengmao took out two large red envelopes from inside his coat, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang took them and then the little girl ran to Yin Shixiu,
"Daddy, keep it safe!"
"..."
This ti it wasn’t just Xiao ng who shivered thrice, Yin Shixiu also felt quite helpless about his daughter’s action.
It was normal for Shuangshuang and Huang Huang, being so young, to have their parents keep the red envelopes, but to "hand them over" openly in front of everyone, well...
It felt kind of strange.
Yin Shixiu still accepted them, and then Shuangshuang said,
"Buy candy, not cigarettes."
This remark made it seem like Yin Shixiu was a chain smoker, seeing Bai Sixian and Su Chengji’s suspicious gazes...
Yin Shixiu calmly said,
"I never smoked in front of the kids."
Not just in front of the kids, but he rarely smoked at ho; he wasn’t addicted to cigarettes.
Who knows whom Shuangshuang heard this from.
In comparison, Prince Huang was much more well-behaved; he took the red envelope and obediently stuffed it into his little backpack.
Bai Fengmao handed out the red envelopes, and those surrounding the table were mostly elders to the brother and sister, soon a number of red envelopes were given to the duo.
The two accepted them without hesitation.
However, there were monts which made Su Xiaong and Yin Shixiu proud.
After receiving the envelopes, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang would seriously say, "Thank you!"
At this level, as parents they were already very satisfied.
Before picking up their chopsticks, Bai Fengmao, as the patriarch, said a few simple words, touching briefly on various aspects, the core ssage was hoping the siblings would be harmonious and the families would help each other.
Bai Fengmao was a significant figure; since the founding of the nation, very few people had a higher status or achievents than he did.
But Bai Fengmao was indeed honest in governance; the Bai family was big in numbers, but not in profession.
After he passed away, however far the Bai family could develop would depend solely on the children’s efforts.
All he could give might only be the prestige represented by the na "Bai Fengmao".
After grandpa finished speaking, everyone started eating.
Shuangshuang and Huang Huang squeezed beside grandpa, Bai Fengmao being with the siblings was filled with happiness.
Xiao ng sat next to her mom, Yin Shixiu was on her left, beside Bai Zhengxiang. When two businessn get together, there was nothing else to discuss but finance, economy, stocks and bonds, profit and loss issues...
Bai Shunyuan was not talkative, but whenever he opened his mouth, there was always a teasing intent towards Su Xiaong.
Su Xiaong felt aggrieved and ignored him.
"This is so delicious."
Xiao ng munched on ribs while chatting with her parents.
Actually, there wasn’t much to talk about; whenever Xiao ng was free, she would video chat with her parents.
"Are you leaving after the New Year?"
Su’s mother added two more pieces of dishes for her and then asked.
"Yes, leaving on the sixth day, can’t miss too many classes at school."
Yin Shixiu said he would make up for her, but she felt Yin Shixiu would definitely not be a good teacher.
"Ah? So soon!"
Su Chengji was surprised, Su Xiaong quickly comforted,
"Don’t be sad, Dad, I’ll co back again during the spring break."
"When is the spring break?"
"Um... I think around late March..."
"..."
Su Chengji turned around and started counting the days.
Xiao ng was amused by Dad, feeling both sour and sweet inside.
This al was truly filling and truly joyful, Su Xiaong rubbed her round belly, feeling comfortable as she sighed...
Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaong had co with luggage, having promised grandpa to stay on Jiuling Mountain for two days in the evening.
On the way back to the mountain, looking at the emptily cold streets of Beijing, Xiao ng said,
"It’s rare, only during the New Year that Beijing is so deserted."
In cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the migrant workers make up a large portion of the population; during the New Year, when they go ho, the bustling cities beco peaceful.
Xiao ng took Shuangshuang and Huang Huang on a car with their parents, while Yin Shixiu and grandpa took another.
"In London, have you really adapted?"
Only when they were on the car by themselves did Su’s mom ask.
"Adapted, yeah. It’s actually similar to Beijing. Living in London also helps with learning the local language. It’s pretty good."
Xiao ng said casually.
"That’s good... But I see, you seem to have sothing on your mind."
"Huh? No!"
Su Xiaong quickly said; she didn’t believe her mom could see through her well-hidden little knot.
Su’s mom was indeed rely making an offhand remark. Perhaps it’s the mother-daughter connection, when close, she vaguely felt her daughter’s mind was rather heavy.
But Xiao ng said no, which was certainly the best.
"What trouble would Xiao ng have? If this girl really encountered sothing, she’d have surely already said it!"
Su Chengji hastily said, then chuckled,
"No choice, can’t help that this girl is just like !"
Su Xiaong secretly thought, Dad, at the mont I truly don’t want to be like you at all!
"Not only is she like , even Shixiu is like , knows well how to love his wife! Well, my family Xiao ng is blessed, this is sowhat more like you, dear wife."
Bai Sixian’s face turned dark,
"Drive your car, shaless."
"Oh co on, I’m speaking the truth!"
With Dad making such a fuss, Xiao ng couldn’t stop laughing, her old man was really too joyous.
Seeing forty-sothing year-old parents still loving each other, the recent "true love doesn’t exist", "n are all bastards" negative thoughts in her mind dissipated.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaong suddenly beca curious,
"Dad, have you ever done anything to let mom down in your life?"
"He wouldn’t dare!"
"I wouldn’t dare!"
Dad and mom spoke almost simultaneously, making Xiao ng laugh again.
Mom and Dad’s relationship is really good...
"Did Yin Shixiu do sothing to let you down?"
After the laughter, Su’s mom suddenly asked seriously, making Xiao ng’s heart skip a beat...
She hurriedly answered sternly,
"He wouldn’t dare!"
"Haha! Xiao Yin wouldn’t do that, I wouldn’t be wrong about him."
Su Chengji hastily said, exuding confidence.
Xiao ng thought, Dad, you sure are blindly confident, hey...
"Haven’t you been wrong before?"
"I wasn’t wrong about choosing a wife, wasn’t wrong about choosing a son-in-law, what else do I look at? That’s it! My life is already very successful!"
Dad... be humble.
Su’s mom didn’t want to talk to him anymore, with her daughter back, this man was getting all cocky!
"Well... what if you really were wrong?"
"..."
"I an, what if."
Xiao ng quickly said seriously, the panic that flashed in her eyes did not escape Su’s mom’s gaze.
"That depends on which aspect it is."
From just a fleeting look of panic, Bai Sixian naturally couldn’t determine anything, she rely followed up with the question.
"If, like many other high-ranked n, he had an affair..."
Bai Sixian squinted her eyes slightly but continued to ask nonchalantly,
"Once, or multiple tis?"
"Does it make a difference?"
"True, no difference."
"Mom, what if one day, you know... Yin Shixiu really..."
"That depends on you, how much feelings you have for this man..."
"If very deep?"
"...Xiao ng, did Yin Shixiu have an affair?"
"..."
"Screech"...
The car swerved, scaring Su Chengji.
