When he was leaving the room with his coat, Liang Sunian was carrying out breakfast. When she saw the white coat in his arms, her smile was brighter than the sun outside.
Soon Nian Xuelan came out and said with a smile, "Ranran, get up. I was just asking Nian Nian to call you. Come on, come on. We'll set off after breakfast."
Xie Jiaran thanked him politely, pulled out a stool and sat down.
The original plan was for the family to go together, but Mr. Liang had to attend an online meeting due to something urgent, so he could only ask the driver to take the three of them to the mall, and promised to go find them as soon as he finished work.
"Ah, where do all these things come from? It's not quiet even during the New Year."
The driver had already parked the car at the door and was waiting. Nian Xuelan changed her shoes and was the first to go out, followed by Liang Sunian and Xie Jiaran.
Liang Su'nian's coat is actually a bit big for Xie Jiaran, but a bigger cotton coat in winter is not only warmer, but also more attractive.
Although she is over 1.8 meters tall, she still looks very small even when wrapped in clothes. Her cheeks look even whiter and more cute against the white clothes, which makes people want to rub them as soon as they see her.
Including Liang Sunian.
So he started to rub it very rudely, and even went a step further and gave the person a kiss on the face, which made the person's eyes squint.
No, it’s not about asking for more, it’s about “according to the agreement”.
Xie Jiaran guessed what he was thinking as soon as he saw his expression. He was both angry and amused: "Rogue!"
Liang Sunian tapped his temple: "Things that require thinking are called wisdom, how can they be called rogues?"
After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "Of course, if Xiao Xie is not convinced, you can jump up and hit my knee. I promise not to fight back."
"???"
Attacking someone's height is intolerable.
Xie Jiaran was unconvinced and reached out to pull his hair, determined to let him see whether he could hit his knees or hit his head.
Liang Sunian saw that he was like a jumping Yuanxiao dumpling, and was so adorable that he just grabbed his head, laughed, opened his arms and hugged him.
There's too much noise coming from behind.
Nian Xuelan turned around and saw two twenty-something boys making as much noise as teenagers. She couldn't help but laugh and urged them, "Stop playing around. If you keep making as much noise as possible, we can go straight to lunch when we get to the city center!"
"Okay, here I come."
They went to the shopping mall that Nian Xuelan frequented most, which was also the largest shopping mall in the center of Jincheng City.
New Year is a big festival. Almost every store is holding an event. There are people coming and going, and the traffic is several times more than usual.
The red and festive decorations were hung up early, and as soon as you walk in, you are greeted by the new atmosphere of the New Year.
"Let me think about it. I'll go buy some clothes for you guys first."
When they were on the escalator, Nian Xuelan turned around and said to them, "Then go buy something for your dad. Mine will take a little longer to choose, so I'll put it last."
Xie Jiaran's eyes drifted away when she said "your dad", and he felt indescribably strange.
An elegant and dignified lady with two handsome and elegant boys is a rare and eye-catching combination that attracts people's attention wherever they go.
Fortunately, there weren't many people in the men's clothing store, and as soon as I entered, I was isolated from most of the following gazes.
There were two or three very young girls among the shop assistants. Their eyes were shining from the moment they entered the door. They stood by and pushed for a long time before finally pushing one of them forward to serve.
"Welcome."
The little girl blushed: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Any recommendations for clothes that would be suitable for them?"
Nian Xuelan thought for a moment and said, "Well... the style and color should be simple and elegant, not too flashy."
"some."
The girl responded quickly and took them to another area: "The clothes here should all meet your requirements. They are also the latest styles this year. You can take a look to see if there is anything you like."
“They all seem good...”
Nian Xuelan took a quick look and turned back to ask them, "Come and pick out if there's anything you like and bring it in to try."
Liang Sunian was OK at picking shoes, but he was really bad at picking clothes. In addition, he trusted Ms. Nian's vision very much: "Mom, you should help us choose. We will wear whatever you choose."
Xie Jiaran nodded, actively expressing that he shared the same attitude as Liang Sunian.
He's no good at this either.
"You guys are the only ones who are lazy about things like this."
Nian Xuelan uttered a few words of complaint, but then happily took the burden and helped them carry the clothes.
Perhaps dressing up is a common problem for all mothers, even if the child is not a girl.
"How about this one?"
Nian Xuelan took out a black coat. It didn’t have many complicated designs. As she said, it was simple and elegant, but it made people feel comfortable at first glance.
She held the clothes in front of Xie Jiaran and compared them. The more she looked at them, the more satisfied she became: "Ranran, try this one. It must look good."
"Every year..."
“Let me try this one, too.”
Liang Sunian picked out a size larger and said, "Ranran looks good in it, so it should look good on me too."
Nian Xuelan was amused by his confident remarks and deliberately said, "That's not necessarily true. Although you look like me, you also have half of your father's genes, so can you brag with a little shamelessness?"
"Okay, next time for sure."
In line with the principle that a trip there shouldn't be in vain, Nian Xuelan took out a few more sets of clothes and stuffed them in front of them: "Try them together, and tell me if you like them."
The two of them went in with clothes, and the first set they tried on was the black one of the same style.
They came out and stood side by side in front of the mirror. They were a tall and handsome couple. The young lady narrowed her eyes and was extremely satisfied.
Just as she was about to step forward to speak, a blonde lady who had just come in was more active than her.
"Hey! This one is fine!"
She walked up to Liang Sunian and looked him over: "It looks good, and it fits him perfectly in every way."
I turned to the clerk and asked, "Do you have the same color and size? If you do, please pack one for me."
"Yes, please wait a moment."
The blonde lady nodded, her eyes still wandering between the two of them. She stroked her chin and sighed, "Boys should be like this to look good. It's boring to watch them giggle and act fancy all day long..."
Liang Su Nian and Xie Jia Ran looked at each other and said with a smile, "Auntie, is there anything else you want to refer to? If not, we will change to the next one."
"Hey! You guys switch, don't worry about me, hahaha."
The two then turned around and went back to the locker room.
"Are you here to buy clothes for your son, too?"
Nian Xuelan walked forward, smiled and took the initiative to talk: "Why don't you let the children come with you, so that they can try it out before buying it so that it fits them well."
The blonde lady sighed helplessly, "I want to, too, but my kid isn't as well behaved as yours. He refuses to come when I ask him to, and insists on going skateboarding with his classmates."
Nian Xuelan: "As a child, it's a good thing for them to love playing."
"You're not young anymore. You're almost twenty, and you still always make me worry."
The blonde lady then asked Nian Xuelan, "Hey, your two children are also in college, right? They look about the same age as my child."
Nian Xuelan: "Well, they are the same age and both are in college."
"It's great that the two brothers are the same age."
The blonde lady smiled and sighed, "I can still go shopping with my mother. Actually, my family also has two boys, but the older one is already working and doesn't come home once a year. We hardly see each other."
She patted Nian Xuelan's hand and said, "I have to tell the two brothers to cherish the present life. Otherwise, when they grow up and start their own families, it will be best if they don't grow apart, let alone go shopping together and see each other often."
"No."
"Um?"
"My two children are different from others."
Nian Xuelan looked towards the locker room tenderly and said with a smile, "They will always be together."
The two younger ladies were very satisfied after trying on several sets. Even the blonde lady, who had originally planned to buy only one set for her son, couldn't help but buy two more sets.
When making the payment, Nian Xuelan was told that she needed to update her membership information, which took a little longer.
The three little girls were still next to them, looking at each other, probably wanting to go up and ask for the other party's contact information, but they didn't dare to because the other party's mother was present.
After struggling for a long time, I finally decided to take action.
"Mom, let me go buy some water with Ranran first. It's just across the street. I'll meet you at the door later."
"Okay, okay, go ahead."
The three girls watched helplessly as the taller boy helped the other boy to carefully adjust his collar, and then they naturally held hands and walked away side by side...
"... ..."
"... ..."
"... ..."
After looking at each other, the girl who almost made the move had only one thought in her mind:
Thank God, thank God for giving me dysphoria!
They had lunch at the mall restaurant. They accompanied Nian Xuelan shopping until the afternoon. They bought not only clothes but also a lot of food and daily necessities.
Ms. Nian was still in high spirits after getting on the car, and kept sharing her gains of the day with Mr. Liang along the way.
They had originally planned to "inspect the spoils" together when they returned home, but unfortunately, as soon as they stepped into the house, Mr. Liang was called to the study by a phone call, and Liang Sunian was taken with him.
The only ones who could inspect the spoils were Nian Xuelan and Xie Jiaran.
Nian Xuelan had actually been thinking about one thing since the beginning: "Is the blue coat I just bought too small?"
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became: "No, Ranran, try it on again and see if it's too small. If it's too small, you'll have to change the size, otherwise it won't be comfortable to wear."
Xie Jiaran put it on obediently.
Nian Xuelan looked carefully from front to back: "Why don't you raise your hand and try it? Does it feel tight?"
Xie Jiaran shook his head: "No, it's suitable."
Nian Xuelan was finally relieved, and she helped him straighten his collar with a smile: "I knew you would look good in blue, you have fair skin, and this color really suits your skin tone..."
"Auntie." Xie Jiaran suddenly called her.
Nian Xuelan: "Hmm? What's the matter?"
Xie Jiaran asked seriously: "Can I hug you?"
Xie Jiaran once told Liang Sunian that he liked Nian Xuelan very much, and that was not just a compliment.
He felt a completely different kind of maternal love from Nian Xuelan that he could not feel from Zhou Wenyue.
Perhaps this is not accurate. After all, he and Lu Shang have completely different feelings towards the same mother.
But he had to admit that he liked this feeling, he liked this new home very much, and he liked everyone in the family very much.
I want to cherish it and grasp it well.
It doesn’t matter if he is greedy. He wants to keep all the love and affection he wants to keep.
"Of course."
Nian Xuelan was stunned for a moment, then she smiled gently and opened her arms to him. Xie Jiaran pursed his lips, bent down and hugged her tightly.
Some things are not so far away that we cannot hope for them.
Thanks to Xiao Liang, he finally has a complete family.
The New Year came exceptionally early this year, and the weather on New Year’s Eve was so sunny that it didn’t seem like the winter that Jincheng should have.
The family slept in and didn't get up until noon. They had breakfast and lunch together. Nian Xuelan and Liang Shen'an were busy in the house, while Xie Jiaran was taken by Liang Sunian to hang lanterns at the door and in the yard.
I was busy until the evening, and relatives came to visit one after another.
The photo album that Liang Sunian had taken the trouble to have him recognize was of no use, because he was just an "ordinary classmate from another province who came to celebrate the New Year for free", and there was no need to follow his address. The simplest "uncle and aunt" could solve everything.
The adults were all very kind, and the ones jumping around were Liang Sunian’s cousins.
"Oh my god, what a handsome new brother!"
Liang Cong flew over directly, but Liang Sunian quickly stopped him: "Friend, this is our first meeting, please be polite."
"What politeness! Enthusiasm comes first!"
Liang Cong was famous for being very outgoing. He tilted his head and looked at Xie Jiaran again.
Xie Jiaran blinked and said hello to him.
Liang Cong also replied with a hello and said to Liang Sunian, "Brother, you Tsinghua University not only look at the college entrance examination scores when admitting people, but also look at the appearance, right? Any classmate you bring back is so good-looking, no wonder I was not admitted, case solved."
The thought processes of today's middle school boys are all pretty much the same, right
Liang Sunian was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Liang Wenshan and Liang Che greeted Nian Xuelan and her husband and came over happily.
"Happy New Year, brother."
"Happy New Year, Su Nian."
"You too, brother and sister, happy new year."
Liang Sunian grabbed Liang Cong's face and pushed him away, then retreated to Xie Jiaran.
He introduced them to his "ordinary college classmate" Xie Jiaran, and then introduced them to Xie Jiaran one by one. He soon found something wrong: "Huh? Why is there one missing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tragic cry broke into the living room.
"Why do we have to do homework during the New Year? Can't the kids just have a day off?"
Liang Xuexue came in crying with her schoolbag on her back: "I only have a little bit left, I can play for a few days before writing, you two are too cruel."
"A little bit? The winter vacation is already halfway over and you've only written two pages. You call that a little bit left?"
The person who spoke was Liang Xuexue's mother: "You must write ten articles for me today, even if you cry. I will just treat it as playing mahjong with the live BGM."
"... ..."
"Wow, Liang Xuexue's life is so miserable... huh?"
She paused in her tears, fixed her gaze in the direction of Xie Jiaran, and asked as she sobbed, "Who is that big brother?"
An elder smiled and told him: "He is your brother Niannian's classmate. He came to celebrate the New Year with us this year."
Xie Jiaran thought this little girl was very polite.
While crying bitterly, she did not forget to pay attention to him, a stranger.
Their eyes met, and just when he thought he would receive a tearful "Hello, brother", the little girl's expression gradually began to collapse.
His mouth drooped, and he cried even more miserably and heroically than before:
"Why? We all have the last name Liang, why can others bring their handsome brothers home for the New Year, but Liang Xuexue has to do this infuriating homework wuwuwuwuwuwu!!!"
"... ..."
So miserable...
In this situation, Xie Jiaran thought that at least one of these brothers and sisters would go to comfort people, but in the end, no one went.
It seems that everyone has become accustomed to this scene.
Among them, Liang Che is a representative example.
He adjusted his glasses, completely ignoring the crying behind him, and called him gently and politely, asking a question that was more important than coaxing his sister:
"Jia Ran, do you know how to play Jincheng Mahjong?"
