I went downstairs and walked in the community. It was already the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, but the temperature had risen a bit, and I didn't feel very cold when walking outside.
Feng Ruoruo was walking in the community, very lively, jogging alone and heading straight to the downstairs of Yang Xiaoxi's house.
Originally, Feng Ruoruo invited Yang Xiaoxi to her home for breakfast this morning, but Yang Xiaoxi's mother came back, so the little girl did not come this morning.
But we all agreed that after breakfast, we would go to Su Ji hand in hand.
Also, I have to wait for Chen Yaofei at the intersection of the ancient street.
Nowadays, the relationship between these three little girls is getting closer and closer, and most of the time they even feel that they can't live without each other.
Especially now that kindergarten is on vacation, the three little girls have to get together every day.
Sometimes, we even want to sleep together at night without separating.
Under such good circumstances, the relationship between the three families is also getting better and better.
Chen Yaofei's parents have passed away, but because of the company of Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi, the little girl remains lively and cheerful, which also makes her parents very happy.
When they called before, Chen Yaofei's parents also thanked Feng Yifan's family again and again.
So even though Chen Yaofei's parents are abroad, the relationship between them is still very good.
Feng Ruoruo was running in front, but Lu Cuiling was still worried, so she jogged quickly to catch up with her to prevent her granddaughter from tripping while running.
Of course, this worry is actually unnecessary, as Feng Ruoruo is now familiar with the community.
I even knew that I could take a smaller path to get to Yang Xiaoxi's house faster.
Feng Ruoruo trotted all the way to the downstairs of Yang Xiaoxi's house, and then the little girl shouted upstairs.
Lu Cuiling followed and heard her granddaughter shouting downstairs. She also stepped forward and said with a smile: "You little thing, how can Xixi hear you when you shout like that?"
Feng Ruoruo asked curiously, "Why can't Xixi hear it?"
Lu Cuiling said: "Because Xixi lives high up, she won't be able to hear you if you call her like that."
Feng Ruoruo nodded and said, "Then grandma, give me your phone. Let's call Xixi. Xixi is always lazy and can't get up in the morning. Let's call her."
Just when Feng Ruoruo asked her grandmother to help her make a phone call, the access control panel of Yang Xiaoxi's building was opened.
Yang Xiaoxi ran out and said with a smile: "Ruoruo, I won't come anymore."
When Feng Ruoruo saw Yang Xiaoxi coming out, she happily went up to hug her good friend.
"Xixi, why didn't you come to our house for breakfast this morning? Dad cooked Laba porridge today. Do you know what Laba porridge is? Laba porridge is called Laba porridge not because there are eight things in it, but because today is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, so when we eat it today, it is called Laba porridge..."
Once Feng Ruoruo starts talking, she can't stop at all and keeps talking non-stop.
Yang Xiaoxi finally interrupted her and said, "Oh, Ruoruo, I know. My family made it this morning. Grandma made it, and my mom told me about it."
Feng Ruoruo asked: "Oh, did Grandma Xixi make it like Daddy did, with a lot of stuff in it?"
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Not a lot, just some beans, peanuts and raisins."
Feng Ruoruo said, "No, this is not right. My father put so many things in it, and he had to control the heat, add water slowly, and put everything in to cook one by one."
Hearing Feng Ruoruo say this, Yang Xiaoxi was a little surprised: "Wow, that's so complicated."
Feng Ruoruo nodded: "Yes, it's very complicated, but Dad said that it will be made at Grandpa's restaurant today, and then Xixi and Feifei can eat together."
Yang Xiaoxi immediately said: "Okay, let's eat together."
At this time, Feng Yifan and his friends came over, and Yang Xiaoxi's family members from upstairs also came down.
Li Feier came forward to support Su Ruoxi and said, "Oh, your belly is so big now, is it very hard?"
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "It's OK, not too hard, but I have to eat a little bit every day, and I'm always a little tired."
Li Feier said: "Then you should rest more and not go to the restaurant so early."
Su Ruoxi said: "It doesn't matter. If you go to bed early at night, you won't be able to sleep late in the morning."
Then Su Ruoxi asked Li Feier: "Are you going to spend the New Year at home this time when you come back?"
Li Feier smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No, I should go back in two days. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back before the Chinese New Year. But fortunately I don't have to participate in the activities of the station during the Chinese New Year, so I should be able to come back for the Chinese New Year. I will probably be able to take a holiday and come back during the Little New Year."
Su Ruoxi said: "That's good, you don't have to work so hard."
Li Feier leaned close to Su Ruoxi's ear and said, "It's because of me that I went there. I don't have enough qualifications and can't participate. I actually really want to participate."
Su Ruoxi said: "If that happens, you can't come back for the New Year, Xixi will definitely be unhappy."
Li Feier whispered, "So, I think it's good that I can't participate."
The group walked out of the community while chatting.
Among them, the grandparents chatted together, the dads chatted together, and the moms chatted together.
In the end, Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi walked hand in hand all the way, and they had endless things to talk about.
After walking out of the community and crossing the road to the intersection of the ancient street, Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi stopped and waited for Chen Yaofei at the intersection together.
Not long after, Chen Yaofei also arrived hand in hand with her grandparents.
Seeing Ruoruo and Xixi waiting for her at the intersection, Chen Yaofei shook off her grandparents' hands and jogged towards the two little sisters.
Then the three little girls hugged each other.
Naturally, this scene was captured by Li Feier who took out her mobile phone in time.
After taking the photo, Li Feier showed it to Su Ruoxi: "Look, our three little babies are so cute."
Su Ruoxi also smiled and said, "Yes, they are really three little cuties."
After hugging at the intersection, the three little girls followed the adults into the ancient street.
Along the way, Feng Ruoruo once again told Chen Yaofei and her grandparents everything about the Laba porridge in the morning.
Su Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this and said, "Do you have to tell everyone you see this morning?"
Feng Ruoruo turned her head and looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I need to explain this to everyone clearly."
A group of people couldn't help laughing.
Chen Shoulin said: "Let Ruoruo speak, our teacher Xiao Feng said it very well."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "I think our Ruoruo will be a teacher in the future."
Feng Jiandong also said: "Yes, it's good to be a teacher. Ruoruo is also suitable and can speak well. She can definitely teach students well."
Yang Huaicheng said: "In that case, wouldn't the restaurant be..."
Before he could finish, Yang Zhiyi said, "It doesn't matter. Ruoruo will have brothers and sisters soon. Let them inherit."
After hearing what their son said, Yang Huaicheng and Wen Hong still felt a little uncomfortable.
Although the old couple no longer force Yang Zhiyi and Li Feier to have children, they still feel a little unhappy.
Especially now that I see Su Ruoxi's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that her family is going to have another child.
Seeing that his parents looked unhappy, Yang Zhiyi quickly changed the subject and said, "Oh, today is Laba Festival. Is Su Ji going to make Laba porridge today as well?"
Feng Ruoruo immediately responded, "Yes, Dad said that Grandpa's restaurant will also make Laba porridge today."
The little girl's response naturally changed the topic.
Afterwards, everyone was in a good mood and walked to the door of Su Ji while talking.
When I arrived at the door, a figure jumped out from inside before I entered.
"Hahaha, I came earlier than Ruoruo, Xixi and Feifei today. You three lazy bugs, why did you come so late today? Did you sneak some good food at home?"
The person who jumped out was none other than Tian Lang, the daughter of the eldest sister.
Tian Lang has been getting more and more familiar with the people here these days, especially with his three younger sisters, and he has become very close.
Seeing Tian Lang jumping out, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei immediately pounced on him.
Tian Lang was almost overwhelmed by the three sisters who pounced on him and he almost fell at the door, but fortunately he held onto the door frame.
"Oh my, you three are really strong."
And then, Tian Lang had no chance to speak at all, because she was completely overwhelmed by the chattering of Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei.
Listen to three little girls sharing science knowledge with her, today is Laba Festival, today they should eat Laba porridge, there are various ingredients in Laba porridge, why the twelfth month is called the twelfth month, what the eighth day means, etc.
In short, Tian Lang was completely deprived of the right to speak and could only listen to his three sisters talking.
In the end, Tian Lang had to admit defeat.
"Alright, alright, you three have won. I really can't do it anymore. You three have explained it clearly to me. I now know that Laba Festival is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and today we are going to eat Laba porridge. Laba porridge does not have eight ingredients, but it is called Laba porridge because it is eaten on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month."
Tian Lang really couldn't stand it at all and could only beg for mercy from his sisters.
Seeing her daughter begging for mercy, Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "Look, you were asked to accompany the sisters, right? Now the sisters have only talked for a while, and you don't want to listen?"
Tian Lang looked at his mother with a bitter face and said, "Mom, why don't you try it?"
Shi Jiahui turned around and said, "The kitchen is busy, so I don't have time."
Su Ruoxi said with a smile while cleaning up the counter, "Let me tell you, the only person here who can stand Ruoruo, Xixi, and Feifei talking together is your uncle."
Tian Lang was a little surprised: "Uncle can actually resist it?"
Feng Ruoruo pouted and said, "Oh, you guys can't say it, only Dad can."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Yes, Father Feng will tell us."
Chen Yaofei said: "Dad Feng always talks to us a lot and teaches us a lot of things."
Tian Lang looked at Feng Yifan in the kitchen and said helplessly, "Your father Feng is busy now and has no time to talk to you."
Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "No, Dad can talk to us. Dad can talk while he's busy."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Yes, Father Feng always chats with us while he is busy."
Chen Yaofei said: "We can stay in the kitchen with Father Feng."
Tian Lang was a little bit unconvinced when he heard this.
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Don't disbelieve me. In the past, every morning when your uncle was busy inside, the three little ones would play inside and then talk to your uncle."
Feng Ruoruo said: "Yes, we all have to accompany Dad."
After hearing this, Tian Lang could only say, "Okay, then I admit defeat."
Feng Yifan finally spoke in the back kitchen: "Okay, okay, hurry up and work. As for our three little darlings, you can actually take Sister Tian Lang out to play for a while, and then come back at noon to help greet the guests. Is that okay?"
After these words were spoken, Tian Lang felt a little embarrassed.
Now Tian Lang kind of misses the days when his three younger sisters went to kindergarten.
In the end, the grandparents took the three little girls and asked Tian Lang to go out together.
After all, it was early in the morning and everyone was waiting at Su Ji, so there wasn't a lot to do, which might have affected Su Ji's many preparations in the morning.
Before leaving, the little girls were still a little unhappy.
Feng Ruoruo, in particular, even clamored to go into the kitchen to help her father with work.
In the end, it was the father who stepped forward and tried to persuade his daughters seriously.
Dad’s help was very effective. Soon the three little girls became obedient and went out with their grandparents and sister Tian Lang.
Although Tian Lang said that she was not happy, after she went out, her three sisters surrounded her and she was still smiling.
After the children left, Feng Yifan assigned today's tasks and asked them to cook Laba porridge.
"Today is Laba Festival, we still need to prepare Laba porridge and give each guest a bowl."
Shi Jiahui asked: "Should we serve a bowl to every customer? Isn't that too much? And what if some customers don't like it? I think it's better to let customers order. If someone wants to order, we can not charge, or just charge a symbolic dollar?"
Feng Yifan thought about it and said with a smile: "Big sister, this is a good idea. Let's do it this way. If someone orders it, I will serve a bowl of Laba porridge."
Su Liancheng asked: "Do we need to ask the waiter for recommendations?"
Feng Yifan said: "Well, of course we have to greet them. After all, it is Laba Festival. We still have to greet the guests and tell them that we will give them Laba porridge if they need it."
Then, speaking of this, Feng Yifan said to Ning Cheng: "Ning Cheng, today I will give you a chance to cook Laba porridge."
Ning Cheng was a little surprised: "Ah? Am I responsible for cooking the porridge?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, this is your task today, which is to cook porridge. Remember, you have to cook it one pot at a time."
Lin Ruifeng said: "Come on, I believe you can do it."
Ma Xiaolong said: "This is a good opportunity for you to cook."
Others also gave Ning Cheng encouragement.
Finally, Su Jinrong said, "Xiao Ning should be able to do it. I will supervise the whole process today to ensure that our Laba porridge has enough quantity."
After the division of labor was completed, everyone began to prepare ingredients and got busy preparing for today's business.
When Ning Cheng saw the various ingredients for cooking porridge, he immediately exclaimed, "So many?"
