Big, after a while, Mama Chen roared loudly from outside: Get up and come out to have breakfast, what are the two of you messing around inside!

Ji Xiaobei was so frightened that he immediately got up and almost stepped on Xiao Chen Zhuo...

He was a little nervous, so he straightened his pajamas, opened the door, and greeted Mother Chen sweetly: Happy New Year, Mom!

Mother Chen stuffed a red envelope into his hand.

Ji Xiaobei was stunned for a moment: For me

Chen's mother patted his head: Chen Zhuo also has the lucky money.

Chen Zhuo didn't, he had been working for so many years. According to their custom here, this red envelope is actually a gift for the new daughter-in-law.

But Xiaobei is still a boy no matter what. Mother Chen can't say it directly, so she just gave it as a lucky money.

Ji Xiaobei felt it so thick that he didn't dare to take it, so Mother Chen forced it on him.

It can be seen that Ji Xiaobei is very happy, he keeps the red envelope in his pocket all day.

Chen Zhuo: Put it away for you, don't take it away for a while.

Ji Xiaobei: No!

Chen Zhuo felt that he was a bit like the kind of bad parents who lied to children and said, "I will help you keep the lucky money".

Before going to bed at night, Ji Xiaobei was finally willing to take out the red envelope.

As he pressed the red envelope upright under the pillow, he muttered to himself: I haven't had New Year's money for five years.

In fact, my aunt would give it to him every year, but he would not accept it every time. My aunt usually spends enough on him.

Chen Zhuo's heart was sour and soft when he heard it, and he took out a red envelope from his bag. It was originally going to be given to his niece tomorrow, so he borrowed it first.

Chen Zhuo: Then I'll give you one too.

Ji Xiaobei: Why

Chen Zhuo: I want you to be happy.

Ji Xiaobei: I'm already very happy! Chen Zhuo, your parents are so nice! I like them so much!

Chen Zhuo: Huh

Ji Xiaobei: You are the best! I like you the most!

On the second day of the new year, Chen Zhuo's cousin brought her daughter to pay New Year's greetings and brought a Labrador retriever over a month old.

The puppy is crazy, and starts rampaging on the floor as soon as he enters the door. Ji Xiaobei can't see where it is.

When the puppy found him scared, he spun his tail around him, jumped up and bit his pants.

Ji Xiaobei was so frightened that he hid in Chen Zhuo's arms, shouting that the neighbors next door knew how he was feeling now, and Chen Zhuo felt that he was about to cry.

During the commotion, Chen's mother asked Chen Zhuo to go to the second uncle's house to get something, and Chen Zhuo didn't want to go with his wife in his arms.

Mother Chen: What's up? Can he be taken away by a puppy when he goes out

Chen Zhuo: ... Okay.

Chen Zhuo walked to the door and looked back, feeling that Ji Xiaobei's back was a bit... tragic

When he came back more than half an hour later, there was a loud barking as soon as he entered the door. He didn't see anyone from Ji Xiaobei, and his niece was sitting on the carpet alone playing with toys.

Chen Zhuo squatted down and poked her: Where's your aunt

The little girl raised her fleshy arm and pointed to the bathroom.

Chen Zhuo walked over and saw Ji Xiaobei quarreling with the puppy through the bathroom glass door.

The puppy was locked in the shower with a muffled voice: Woo!

Ji Xiaobei was outside, akimbo, Qi Yun Dantian: Wang Wang!

Puppy: woo woo woo!

Ji Xiaobei: Wang Wang Wang Wang!

Puppy: Woo! Wang! Wang!

Ji Xiaobei: Wang Wang Wang! ! !

It turned out that when I entered the door, the loud noise was not a dog barking but a human barking, the real murderer...

That night, Ji Xiaobei was still arguing with the puppy with his fists clenched in his dreams, barking his teeth while talking in his sleep.

Chen Zhuo felt it was both funny and distressed, so he hugged him and touched his head: I am here, no puppy dares to kill you, sleep.

Ji Xiaobei's small fist relaxed immediately, and slept until dawn, drooling.

In the evening, two people huddled on Chen Zhuo's single bed. Ji Xiaobei stuffed his feet between Chen Zhuo's legs.

To this day, Chen Zhuo will no longer be thinking about it. After all, he has experienced hundreds of battles, and he can see at a glance that Ji Xiaobei just wants to cover his feet...

Ji Xiaobei Gong went into Chen Zhuo's arms: Chen Zhuo, let me tell you something.

Chen Zhuo pinched him: what

Ji Xiaobei: In the supermarket this morning, we met my mother's old classmate.

Chen Zhuo: Then what

In the morning, they accompanied their mother to the supermarket to buy food, Chen Zhuo went to park the car, Ji Xiaobei and her mother went up first, it should be at that time.

Ji Xiaobei: Then I said hello. My mother wanted to introduce me to my classmates, but I was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so I rushed to say that I was her godson.

Chen Zhuo: Well, then what

Ji Xiaobei: Then her classmate asked her mother, how old is your son? Haven't found someone yet? I know a few good girls. Would you like to introduce them to me

Chen Zhuo: Then you got jealous

Ji Xiaobei: I don't have it! Mom said, my son has a partner! The two are great!

Chen Zhuo: That's not very good. My mother really likes you, so I didn't lie to you.

Ji Xiaobei: We haven't reached the point yet. Later, her classmate said that she should cherish her free time now, and she would not be so happy when she took her grandson in a few years.

Chen Zhuo: Is this the point

Ji Xiaobei: But no matter how many years my mother can't hold her grandson, I feel so sorry for her.

Chen Zhuo held him in his arms: That's different, we don't need children in the first place.

Ji Xiaobei didn't understand what he meant: Huh

Chen Zhuo held his face and kissed: We already have a child in our family.

Ji Xiaobei was very angry: I am not a child!

During the Chinese New Year, I have eaten several meals of big fish and meat, and I am going to eat something light in the evening.

Ji Xiaobei volunteered to say that he came to cook porridge. In the afternoon, he and Chen Zhuo went to the supermarket to buy ingredients to make his best porridge with shrimp and scallops.

At four-thirty, he went into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and put on his apron. There were three people standing behind them, Chen Zhuo's father, Chen Zhuo's mother, and Chen Zhuo.

Ji Xiaobei: Are you all waiting here? Are you hungry? Oh wait a minute, soon!

He didn't want so many people to accompany him. After negotiating for a long time, he finally agreed to leave a father Chen to help him.

The seafood porridge was cooked very successfully, a large pot was eaten completely, and there was not a single bite left. Ji Xiaobei was so proud that his little tail was up in the sky.

After dinner, Chen Zhuo came over and poked him, pulling him aside.

Ji Xiaobei: Why

Chen Zhuo: My dear, I was scolded this afternoon.

Ji Xiaobei akimbo: Huh? Who is it? What's wrong? Who dares to scold you! I'll scold you back!

Chen Zhuo: ... my mother.

Ji Xiaobei: Forget it, I didn't say anything.

Chen Zhuo: Oh, my mother said I don't hurt you, how can I let you cook? In my family, my dad cooks, and my dad loves him very much.

Ji Xiaobei: But if I want to cook for you, does cooking mean pain? Then I just want to hurt you.

Chen Zhuo smirked twice: Listen, listen, I didn't squeeze your daughter-in-law to cook, but your daughter-in-law wanted to hurt me!

Mother Chen: Look at your unpromising appearance...

Ji Xiaobei: …Am I being caught by fishing law enforcement

When Chen Zhuo came back from get off work, Ji Xiaobei stood at the door with his hips on his shoulders to greet him. Chen Zhuo had a very bad premonition.

Ji Xiaobei held a toothbrush in his left hand and a toothbrush in his right, and said angrily: Humph!

These two electric toothbrushes were bought last month, a couple set, one pink and one blue.

In order to make Ji Xiaobei easier to identify, Chen Zhuo put a three-dimensional sticker in the shape of a bear on his toothbrush, so that he could know which one was his at a glance.

In the afternoon, he wanted to replace the brush head for the toothbrush, but he couldn't find which drawer the new brush head was in. It happened that Chen Zhuo was in a meeting, so he asked for help on bye.

Only after asking for help did he discover that the toothbrush with the bear attached to it was actually pink.

pink! red! color!

By the way, I also learned that the new pajamas on my body are very red and green... It must not be bought by my mother, Chen Zhuo, a big liar!

Chen Zhuo quickly replaced the new brush head, peeled off the sticker of the pink toothbrush, and stuck it on the blue toothbrush.

Chen Zhuo: Change, I use pink, you use blue.

Ji Xiaobei: Really changed

Chen Zhuo: It really changed. If you don't believe me, ask someone.

Ji Xiaobei: The pajamas have also been changed!

Chen Zhuo: ? ?

Ji Xiaobei: I want to change! you take off!

Chen Zhuo's pajamas are big, and Ji Xiaobei's pajamas are a bit ill-fitting at best; Ji Xiaobei's pajamas are small, and Chen Zhuo's buttons can't be buttoned up, which is a bit funny.

In the evening, the two of them also made a video with Chen Zhuo's mother, in exchange for Chen's mother's ruthless ridicule: son, why did you buy this cotton-padded jacket hahahahaha...

On the sixth day of the sixth day, the two returned, and Dad Chen and Mom Chen took them to the station together. When I came, I brought a big box, and when I left, I dragged two.

Mother Chen was reluctant to leave her daughter-in-law, so she hugged and hugged. The hug made Ji Xiaobei very sad. After a while, her eyes turned red, and she began to wipe her tears pitifully.

Chen Zhuo joked: Otherwise, you will stay here and not leave.

Mother Chen: Good!

Ji Xiaobei: Good!

Chen Zhuo: ... what a good thing!

Dad Chen: I feel good too!

Chen Zhuo: I feel bad!

Reluctantly, I said goodbye to my parents, and the two went in and waited for the car. After finally finding two empty seats, Chen Zhuo took Ji Xiaobei and sat down.

The child lost prevention bracelet was put on again today. Ji Xiaobei has deliberately studied how to untie the child's end in the past few days, and secretly untied his own.

In fact, Chen Zhuo saw it, but deliberately didn't say anything, quietly stood up and walked to the side.

Ji Xiaobei didn't notice anything strange at first, but after a while he called Chen Zhuo, but no one answered, he touched the side again, and found that there was no one next to him, and Chen Zhuo was gone.

Ji Xiaobei hurriedly stood up, and while calling his name, he reached out and touched him.

In fact, it was only a few seconds, but Ji Xiaobei felt that it had been a long time.

Chen Zhuo pulled him closer before he cried: here it is.
