After the parents-teacher meeting, Xiao Feng was happy for a long time. Xia Mian secretly made up her mind that she would try her best to participate in the little guy's future affairs.
By the time of her final exam, Mao Huimei passed the thesis defense and graduated successfully.
Her wedding has been put on the agenda, and the rescheduled date is mid-July. However, her factory is also at its busiest time, so it is Xia Wenyue and Mao Zhishan who are arranging her wedding.
Nowadays, Xia Wenyue only goes to the factory four or five days a week, and spends the rest of the time preparing her dowry. Anyway, she has new ideas every day, and it seems that she will never finish preparing until the last day.
Mao Zhishan's filming crew happened to be in Yan City, and he would go home whenever he had time. Mao Huizhu, who was already on vacation, would go with him as long as conditions permitted, occasionally acting as an extra or making a guest appearance as a minor actor.
As a talented actress, she feels like a fish in water on the set.
After Xia Mian finished her last course, she rushed home with her schoolbag on her back, unable to wait.
Before she even entered the door, she heard the hustle and bustle in the Mao family's yard. She was immediately delighted and ran home quicker, then bumped into someone at the door.
"Ouch!" Xia Mian was knocked back a step, and the person opposite him stepped back a few steps and sat down on the ground.
Xia Mian looked at the grinning boy and smiled in surprise, "Qiang Qiang!" Then she said with a smile, "Why are you rushing so fast at the corner of the door?"
Qiangqiang had already climbed up swiftly, rubbing his butt and laughing, "Miangu!"
"I just wanted to see if you guys were coming back soon."
The twelve-year-old boy has grown to her chest, and his facial features have grown a lot. He has become a little teenager now. It’s just unknown if he is still as naughty as before.
Qiangqiang smiled and said, "I'm waiting for Xiaofeng, Mian Gu, where's Xiaofeng?"
Xia Mian raised her hand and stroked his head, smiling, "Xiao Feng went to learn painting and won't be back until five or six. Hui Zhu went out with her uncle, and Chen Chen, do you remember him?"
"The kid who played with you when you were very young has gone to participate in a competition and will also come back at night. Don't worry, there are many kids here, you won't be alone."
Qiangqiang touched his head and laughed.
"Where are your grandparents, parents? Are they here?"
Mao Huimei is getting married, and the Mao family doesn't have anyone they want to invite. Xia Wenyue and Xia Mian from the Xia family are thinking of bringing Uncle Xia and his family over, firstly to attend the wedding, and secondly to let them get to know the family and visit Yan City.
People who have never left Ming City in their lives are full of yearning for Yan City. Xia Mian will take them around to see it in the next few days.
As soon as she finished asking, Xia Chuan heard the noise and came out of the main room, saying happily, "Oh, our college student is back!"
"Brother Chuan!" Xia Mian ran over happily. Xia Hai and Xia He also came out to greet her. Xia He patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "You are getting more and more beautiful."
"Hehe, second brother, you are becoming more and more stable." Xia Mian followed them into the house and saw two old people sitting on the sofa.
"Uncle, aunt!"
"Good, good!" The uncle's face wrinkled with joy, "College student, our Xia family has a college student again."
The aunt held Xia Mian's hand with tears in her eyes, "You have really grown into a big girl. You will have a bright future."
When the news that she was admitted to Yenching Normal University spread last year, my aunt choked up on the phone. Later, she asked Xia Mian for a copy of the admission letter and burned it at Xia's father and mother's grave.
Xia Mian leaned over and hugged them, "There will be more and more college students in our family, and Huilan has finished her exams."
"Yes, yes, yes." Uncle Xia was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "You said you will definitely pass the exam, right?"
"Yes."
Mao Huilan is taking the college entrance examination this year. The Xia family has already had the experience of summer hibernation, so they are much more relaxed this year.
Her grades were above average. Although she couldn't get into Yanjing University or Huazhong University of Science and Technology, she had no problem getting into a key university and chose to major in economics and management.
Xia Hai and the others were all envious. Xia Hai raised his hand and slapped Qiang Qiang on the butt and said, "Look, your aunts are all college students. Xiao Feng and Hui Zhu will also be college students in the future. You just play around every day. In the future, you can only work as a carpenter at home with me!"
Qiangqiang said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with being a carpenter?"
"If I go to college, who will do the carpentry work at home? I can't let you work at your age, right? That would be so unfilial."
He had a lot of reasons, "We still have our land. It's perfect. I'll take over your job as a carpenter, and Pangpang will take over second uncle's job to farm our land."
Xia He said angrily, "If you don't want to study and become a carpenter, don't bring our Fatty with you! Our Fatty doesn't farm."
Pangpang is Xia He’s son, now one and a half years old. He is nestling in his mother Hongjuan’s arms, half asleep.
Hearing someone calling his name, he suddenly woke up with a start, turned to look at his father and brother, grinned, and let out an "Ah~".
Hongjuan patted her little butt and said, "Ah, what are you talking about? You don't listen to your brother. When we grow up, we will go to college and become college students."
I don’t know if Pangpang understood or not, but he grinned brightly, revealing a row of baby teeth that had not yet grown in, and his little chubby feet kicked back and forth, looking very cute.
Xia Mian ran over and poked his chubby cheek with her finger, "You've grown so big, Fatty. Hello, I'm your aunt."
Pangpang immediately reached out and grabbed her fingers, his eyes disappearing from laughing.
Xia Mian was so cute that she raised her finger and said, "Your little hands are quite strong. You are so cute."
Hong Juan touched his little head and said with a smile, "What do you mean by good? You can't talk yet, and you can't run or jump smoothly. You will be naughty when you grow up."
Xia Mian laughed and said, "Can anyone be more naughty than Qiang Qiang?"
Uncle Xia said immediately, "Don't dare to have another strong one, or that house will be demolished."
Everybody burst into laughter. When Pangpang saw everyone laughing, he also flapped his arms and laughed.
As they were talking and laughing, Mao Huilan came in with a tray, "Sister Mian, come and help."
Xia Mian hurriedly opened the gauze curtain, then ran out to take the plate from her sister-in-law Li Fang and said, "Sister-in-law, please sit down quickly. I'll do it."
The food was served one after another. Xia Wenyue finally brought the meat sauce and said, "Come, try Yan City's fried noodles with soybean paste. I specially asked someone to teach me how to make it."
"Where's Xiang'er? Is the child asleep? Call her to come and eat."
Xia Chuan went to the inner room to take a look, and soon came out with a beautiful young wife, who was his third sister-in-law Li Xianger.
The year Xia Mian came back from his hometown, Xia Chuan experienced Ma Lili's lesson and decided to listen to his parents' advice. Later, he went on two more blind dates and fell in love with Li Xiang'er, and they got married at the end of the year.
At the beginning of this year, their daughter was born, named Dudu.
Just now Li Xiang'er was feeding and coaxing her child to sleep in the room.
Xia Mian looked at Li Xiang'er's face and thought, Xia Chuan is not picky, he just likes beautiful girls.
Li Xiang'er is a bit shy and followed Xia Chuan's instructions throughout the whole process. She looked very well-behaved.
Xia Wenyue couldn't help but laugh, "As expected, after getting married and becoming a father, a man becomes more stable. Xia Chuan used to be so naughty."
Uncle and aunt both looked at him and smiled with satisfaction.
The eldest aunt said, "Finally, they have all been told what to do. It's up to them how they live in the future."
Xia Wenyue prepared the noodles and handed them to her uncle and aunt. "They are all sensible children. They will get better and better."
The uncle saw joy in the family's eyes and obviously felt the same way.
The family was starving after sitting on the train for almost a whole day. Even Pangpang grabbed a small bowl and slurped the noodles.
Qiangqiang finished eating next to him and secretly pulled the noodles out of his hand. The child was still unaware and continued to eat with a pouting mouth. If he couldn't get the food, he would use his little fist to stuff it into his mouth.
Li Fang patted Qiangqiang on the side and said, "Can you be quiet for a while? Why do you keep teasing him? Will you comfort him if he cries later?"
Hongjuan saw that Pangpang frowned, and quickly stuffed another noodle into his mouth, threatening Qiangqiang, "If you mess with him again, I'll make him sleep with you tonight."
Qiangqiang said, "No, I want to sleep with Xiaofeng today."
Xia Hai said, "Xiao Feng wants to go to college in the future, so she doesn't want to sleep with a carpenter like you."
Xia Hai said this and became worried again, "What do you think we should do with this kid? He is not good at anything and is the best troublemaker."じ☆veWWω.ЫＫメＳ.иＥｔ✾ ั
"You have a good brain, but you just don't use it for serious purposes."
"Last time the teacher came to me," Xia Hai became more and more angry as he spoke, "other students' dreams were to become astronauts, scientists, and pilots, but he wanted to be a carpenter!"
Qiangqiang said, "That's all nonsense. Goudan wants to be a scientist?" He mocked, "What are you researching? Are you researching how to poop in the pumpkin at my grandfather Chengyao's house?"
Li Fang couldn't help but slap him on the back, "We're eating, what are you talking about?"
Qiangqiang shrank his neck and dared not say anything, but Mao Hui's curiosity had been completely aroused, "What is the story behind that?"
Goudan is also a relative of the Xia family, but the relationship is a little distant, but they all live in the same area.
When Xia Mian heard that it was about Second Uncle Xia, she also asked with concern, "My Second Uncle's house? Are you teasing him again?"
Qiangqiang glanced at his parents and saw that they did not stop him. He immediately became excited and said in a vivid voice, "Doesn't Grandpa Chengyao like to steal things?"
"It just so happened that Goudan's family had a pumpkin whose core was rotten, but the outside looked fine, and nothing could be seen."
"Then I, oh no, it was Goudan. Goudan used a knife to dig a hole, and we pooped in it one after another. Finally, we glued the hole shut and placed it at the door of Goudan's house."
He grinned as he spoke, "Then Grandpa Chengyao really sneakily stole the pumpkin back."
Probably because he recalled the scene at that time, Qiangqiang couldn't stop laughing.
"Then we squatted at his door, and soon we heard him shouting, 'Ah, my knife, my chopping board!', 'My pumpkin...'"
He waved his arms exaggeratedly and shook his head, imitating Uncle Xia's tone vividly, making everyone at the table laugh.
Xia Mian and Mao Huilan laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes. These kids are so naughty.
Qiangqiang also laughed so hard that he fell backwards, and then continued, "You said he cut the whole chopping board with poop, but he was reluctant to throw away the knife and the chopping board..."
"They still use that to cook every day, and when they eat..."
"That's enough!" Li Fang patted him, "Will you let me eat?"
Xia Hai said angrily, "They said Goudan did it, but after talking for so long, Goudan only came up with a pumpkin. It was your idea, right?"
"No!" Qiangqiang immediately straightened his back alertly, ready to run away at any time, "It was Goudan who did it! I just helped him poop..."
Xia Hai had already stood up, and Qiangqiang turned around and ran.
Everyone laughed so hard watching the father and son chasing each other, but there were some aftereffects.
No one ate the noodles afterwards...
