Following Shi Jiahui and Shi Tao, mother and son, we came out of the hotel and walked along the sidewalk shaded by tall sycamore trees.
The tall sycamore tree with lush branches and leaves blocked the scorching sun in the sky, which made the two little girls feel very comfortable.
"Oh, Dad, look, there are spots on my clothes."
"Ruoruo, look, this is on my arm, do you want a little bird?"
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the lush branches and leaves of the paulownia tree, leaving behind patches of mottled light.
The two little girls found it very interesting.
Those spots of light cast various shapes on their bodies.
Sometimes it looks like a bird, sometimes like a butterfly, and sometimes like a puppy's head.
"Hey, Xixi, look, look quickly, don't I look like Tiantian?"
Feng Ruoruo grabbed her dress with her hands and used the hem of her dress to catch the light falling through the gaps between the branches and leaves so that Yang Xiaoxi beside her could see it. Because the light spot looked like a little puppy's head, Feng Ruoruo thought it was her Tiantian.
Yang Xiaoxi took a closer look, then smiled and said, "Yes, this one looks like Tiantian's head."
Afterwards, Yang Xiaoxi followed suit and lifted up her skirt with both hands to catch the light spots falling through the gaps between branches and leaves.
"Ruoruo, look quickly, do I look like a small cloud?"
"Hahaha, yes, it really does look like that."
Shi Jiahui saw the little girl grabbing the hem of her skirt and quickly came over to ask them to put it down: "Hey, don't do that. It's really ugly to pull your skirt up like that, and it will be seen by bad guys on the street. Little girls shouldn't do that."
Feng Yifan and Yang Zhiyi also noticed this at this time and started teaching their daughter together.
"You can't pull up your skirt. It will look ugly, and it will also let others see the parts of you that you shouldn't let others see. Do you remember what Father Feng said?"
"You two can use your bodies to catch the sunlight, or raise your hands to catch it, but you can't lift up your skirts to catch it."
Shi Tao, who was standing next to him, was acting as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He turned his back to his two sisters, blocking the sight of people around him.
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi also put down their skirts obediently.
But the little girls were still smiling, and they obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
Feng Yifan pulled the two little girls over, squatted down and gave them a very serious lecture.
After listening to what Mr. Feng said, the two little girls realized the problem and quickly used their hands to adjust the hem of their skirts, trying not to let them be blown up again.
"Yeah, Ruoruo, promise not to pull up your skirt next time."
"Yes, yes. Xixi doesn't know either."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Well, that's right, let's go quickly, you two can hold hands, and then use your hands to catch the sunlight falling through the branches and leaves."
The two little girls followed Mr. Feng's instructions, walked hand in hand, and raised their hands to catch the sunshine.
Suddenly, the two little girls started running hand in hand. As they ran, they saw spots of light on their raised arms flashing past like spotlights.
"Hahaha, this is fun."
"Great, our arms will glow."
Feng Yifan and the others also quickened their pace and followed closely behind the two girls running on the sidewalk.
"Run slower, don't run too fast, and watch the road under your feet, don't fall." Shi Jiahui shouted while following behind.
The two little girls were relatively obedient and soon slowed down their pace again.
At this moment, Shi Tao suddenly said, "Mom, it seems we have passed by."
Shi Jiahui was stunned for a moment, looked back, and said helplessly: "Look, I just followed Ruoruo and Xixi, but they both ran past me. Hurry back, your aunt's house is not over there."
After hearing what their aunt said, the two little girls also laughed happily.
"Hahaha, you are so stupid, you forgot where you live."
"Hahaha, no, it ran after the two of us."
Feng Yifan also said: "Ruoruo, you can't call Auntie stupid. Auntie went the wrong way because she followed you two. The responsibility is not on Auntie. You can't say that about Auntie, understand?"
Feng Ruoruo quickly lowered her head and apologized: "Oh, Auntie, I'm sorry."
Shi Jiahui waved her hands: "It's okay, don't listen to your father. Your father is just making a fuss. Why can't you say aunt? Aunt took the wrong path and didn't look at the road. She is just stupid."
Feng Ruoruo said, "No, Auntie, you went the wrong way because of me and Xixi."
Yang Xiaoxi also said: "Yes, it was Ruoruo and I who went the wrong way."
Shi Jiahui reached out and took the little girl's hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's go back and take a few steps. My aunt's house is right behind us. Let's go in through that small door. My aunt's family lives inside, on the third floor of the second building. Let's go."
When I entered the residential area where Shi Jiahui lives, I ran into an old lady who was going out of the community.
The other party obviously knew Shi Jiahui and Shi Tao, mother and son, so he greeted them warmly, but he used the local dialect, which sounded a little strange to the two little girls.
When he learned that the two pretty little girls were the daughters of Junior Brother Shi Jiahui, he greeted the little girls warmly.
"Oh, these two little girls are so pretty."
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi widened their eyes after hearing this, not quite understanding what this mother-in-law was talking about.
Shi Tao helped translate it: "Mother-in-law said that you two are very beautiful."
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi quickly responded: "Thank you, mother-in-law."
The other party waved his hand: "You're welcome, you're welcome, go quickly, grandma is going out."
Then the old woman left happily.
Shi Jiahui watched the old lady leave, and smiled to Feng Yifan and Yang Zhiyi, "This is an old neighborhood, and most of the residents have children living abroad. The son and daughter of the old lady just now are both abroad. Usually, the old lady lives alone and is quite happy."
Yang Zhiyi understood this: "Well, this seems to be the situation of most families in Shanghai."
Shi Jiahui nodded: "That's true. Many families here are like this. Even if the children don't go abroad, they rarely live with the elderly. In addition, their work schedule is usually quite tight, so they don't have much time to come back to visit. Some families will hire a nanny for the elderly."
Shi Tao said: "My mother sometimes didn't go to work before and would cook for the elderly in the community."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "No wonder the senior sister has so many people."
Shi Jiahui also laughed: "It's mainly because I'm the only one at home. When I'm not working, I'm really more relaxed. It would be boring to eat alone, so I just cook a big meal and let the neighbors in the community eat together. It will be more lively that way."
Yang Zhiyi was a little curious: "Aren't the elderly in Shanghai usually difficult to get along with?"
Shi Jiahui understood what Yang Zhiyi meant: "Actually, those are just some prejudices. When you live together as neighbors, you will find that the elderly are all the same after a while. If you take care of them, they will know what is good and what is bad."
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi had already run to the front while the adults were talking.
Because the community is relatively empty and there are not many vehicles, the little girls can run around with unbridled abandon.
I had already run downstairs, and when I looked back I saw that the adults had not come over, and the little girls also looked a little disgusted.
"Oh, Dad and the others are so slow."
"Yes, they walked so slowly. We were already downstairs, but they were still walking slowly behind us."
Feng Ruoruo pulled her friend and said, "Xixi, let's yell at them to hurry up."
Yang Xiaoxi also smiled and nodded in agreement.
The two little girls were standing at the stairs, shouting to the adults behind them: "Hurry up."
The little girls' shouting voices immediately echoed in the community, causing many people to open their windows and look out.
Shi Jiahui quickly apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I disturbed everyone's rest. You are just a child, you don't know anything."
Feng Yifan and Yang Zhiyi also rushed to their daughter to educate her.
"What are you two yelling for? Grandpa and grandma are resting here, aren't you disturbing them by yelling like that?"
"Yeah, you two should stop shouting. Grandparents live here, so we need to be quiet."
However, when Shi Jiahui apologized, the two fathers scolded their daughter.
Those grandparents who opened the window and looked out, on the contrary, were all laughing happily.
"Jiahui, where did you bring these two little girls back from?"
"The little girl looks so pretty and fun."
"That's right. Our neighborhood is usually very quiet. It's really interesting to have two little girls like this all of a sudden."
"Jiahui, is she a relative of yours?"
Hearing everyone's question, Shi Jiahui responded: "She is my junior's daughter. She came to my place to play before the kindergarten starts."
After hearing this, the elderly people in the community also expressed their understanding.
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi took the initiative to step forward and admit their mistakes to their grandparents.
This also makes the elderly in the community feel that the little girls are very good.
Afterwards, the two little girls followed their father very quietly and carefully, and went upstairs with Aunt Shi Jiahui and entered her home.
After entering the door, Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi saw the shoe rack at the door and immediately changed their shoes.
Shi Jiahui quickly said, "It's okay, you don't need to change your shoes, just go in. The floor of my aunt's house hasn't been mopped for several days, so there's no need to be so particular when you get to my aunt's house."
Then, Shi Jiahui said to her son, "Shi Tao, go turn on the air conditioner quickly, take out some fruits and candies for your sisters, and make some tea for your two uncles."
Shi Tao listened to his mother assigning so many tasks at once, and smiled helplessly: "Mom, can you speak more slowly, one by one? You give me so many things at once, and I don't have three heads and six arms, how can I handle it?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you don't have to rush. Don't listen to your mother. We are not outsiders. We don't need to entertain you."
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi also said in unison: "No need to entertain us."
Afterwards, everyone sat down at Shi Jiahui's house.
Of course, Shi Jiahui still took out everything prepared at home, such as fruits, various candies and cakes, and gave them to the little girls to eat.
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi sat for a while, but immediately became restless. The two little girls asked their fathers for their cell phones.
Feng Yifan said: "Don't play with your phone all the time."
Feng Ruoruo replied: "We are not playing games. We want to video chat with mom and show her what we have."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Yes, we want to show Mom the house of my aunt."
Feng Yifan and Yang Zhiyi had no choice but to take out their cell phones and give them to the two little girls to connect to the video call with their mother at home.
The two mothers were obviously waiting as well, so the video was quickly connected when they clicked on it.
The two little girls immediately started introducing it to their mother.
"Mom, look, Xixi and I are at Aunt Jiahui's house."
"Mom, look, this is my aunt's house."
"Mom, take a look at my aunt's house. Isn't it big too?"
"Look, mom, Auntie prepared a lot of things for Ruoruo and me."
The two little girls kept talking to their respective mothers, leaving the two mothers no chance to speak for a long time.
After a long time, the two mothers finally got a chance to speak and asked the little girl to stand up and pat her aunt's house.
The little girls also stood up with their mobile phones in hand and took some photos at their aunt's house. They specially took a photo of Aunt Jiahui and asked Aunt Jiahui to say hello to their mother. Brother Shitao also took a photo.
Shi Tao was a little embarrassed to be photographed at first, and waved shyly towards the video.
However, the two mothers saw it and praised Shi Tao together.
Seeing that the little girls were having fun and Shi Tao was having a good chat with Feng Yifan and Yang Zhiyi, Shi Jiahui decisively said, "Okay, I'll start cooking. You guys are at your aunt's house tonight and you can taste her cooking skills. I'll make you the most authentic local dishes."
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi immediately clamored to go and take pictures of their aunt cooking.
Shi Jiahui had no choice but to agree to the two little girls, but they agreed to a distance so that the little girls would not get too close.
The two little girls were also very obedient. They used their mobile phones to take pictures of their aunt cooking at the agreed distance.
Feng Yifan, Yang Zhiyi and Shi Tao outside also found this very interesting.
Shi Tao couldn't help but say, "Ruoruo and Xixi are still happier. Unlike me and my sister, we study all day long abroad and don't have so many happy times."
Yang Zhiyi immediately said: "Their happiness should only last for the time they are in kindergarten. When they go to elementary school, they may have a harder time than you do abroad."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Really? Think about Guo Jingyi. That little girl has a very busy schedule every day."
Shi Tao immediately said, "I know, uncles. I also went to school in China when I was a child."
Feng Yifan and Yang Zhiyi also laughed after hearing this, remembering that Shi Tao also went to school in China until he graduated from high school.
The smell of food soon wafted from the kitchen, and the two little girls would exclaim from time to time.
"Wow, Auntie is so amazing. The food she cooks smells so good. Can you smell it, Mom?"
On the other side of the video, Su Ruoxi said helplessly: "Mom can't smell it, you help mom smell it, mom believes Ruoruo's judgment, Ruoruo said it smells good, then it must smell good."
Yang Xiaoxi also said to her mother: "Mom, Auntie's cooking smells so good, just like Father Feng's."
Li Feier smiled and said, "Then you should eat more at night, don't let your aunt down for her busy schedule."
The little girls were filming their aunt cooking while video chatting with their mother. This scene was really full of joy and a warm family atmosphere.
