Chapter 445: Child
As soon as he saw that their whole family was coming, Gong Qingchen hurriedly turned around and ordered someone to inform the kitchen, there were two more guests, let him prepare more fruits and snacks, and he went directly to see Old Man Huo and told him that Maomao's family had come to be guests.
"The whole family is here?" asked Old Man Huo with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, in addition to Maomao and her mother, her brother and father also came, and it was not explained on the phone before, I thought it was just their mother and daughter who would come. Gong Qingchen said a little embarrassed, in the end, she didn't make it clear.
Old Man Huo had a meeting gift for Mao Mao in his hand, and when he heard Gong Qingchen say this, he picked up the gift, handed it to Gong Qingchen, and said, "Let's smile at this." "The two children can't favor one over the other, so they simply don't give it.
Gong Qingchen put away the gifts, and after saying goodbye, he went to the door to greet the guests.
Mao Mao and the others happened to walk to the door under the leadership of Xiaoxiao, and when they saw Gong Qingchen, the family greeted them warmly and greeted: "Mrs. Ji, I really bother you!"
"Don't be out of the way. Gong Qingchen smiled gently, let them go to the small hall on the side, and several people sat down in turn, and soon someone brought snacks and tea.
Mao Mao's brother's name is "Xuan He", and his parents call him "Xiao He", which sounds like the word "Mao Mao" is different at random. After he entered the door, he looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on Xiaoxiao's body, and asked, "Are you my sister's friend?"
"I am!" smiled and took Maomao's hand and replied obediently.
"Then I'm your brother too. Xiao He said angrily, "I heard my sister say that you are the only child in your family, and in the future, I can reluctantly protect you." ”
Xiaoxiao looked him up and down, shook his head with a serious expression, and refused: "I have three brothers, they are all better than you, I don't want you to be my brother." ”
"How can there be a brother who is better than me!" Xiao He said unconvinced, "In our school, there has never been a boy who can beat me!"
Xiaoxiao crossed his fingers and counted his brother with him: "Brother Xiao Qiao is a big star and has been on TV; Brother Xiao Che is the boss of the company, and many beautiful sisters like him; Brother Xuanxuan is the youngest and the most powerful, he just won a national championship in ice skating a few months ago!"
As Xiaoxiao counted, Xiao He's mouth opened wider and wider, and finally formed a very exaggerated expression.
Several adults watched from the sidelines, and they couldn't help but laugh.
"When I was at home, I said that I would bring Maomao to visit Xiaoxiao, and Xiaohe was very curious. Maomao's mother explained to Gong Qingchen, "He has heard his sister say it many times, Xiaoxiao is smart and cute, this time as soon as he has the opportunity, he pesters to come together, saying that he wants to make friends with Xiaoxiao's sister!"
"Children are innocent and cute, what's so smart and not smart. Gong Qingchen said modestly, "Maomao is also cute, and she is quiet, so I like it very much." By the way, is she still drawing picture books?"
Maomao's mother originally wanted to continue to follow Gong Qingchen's words of praising Maomao, but when she heard her ask about the picture book, she unconsciously replied: "Yes, I just finished drawing a story, and now I am discussing with the editor how to revise and polish." ”
This picture book is naturally the one in cooperation with Haiwen Publishing House, before Maomao's mother said that she missed the joke, and said that she was going to refuse, but under the persuasion of Gong Qingchen, she was still painting.
Maomao's father came with him this time, thinking that he would meet Old Man Huo, or Ji Yunyang, but he didn't expect that it would be Gong Qingchen who entertained their family alone, he listened to the two of them talking about the child for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't Old Man Huo at home?"
"The old man is resting. Gong Qingchen replied with a smile, "He usually doesn't see guests in the morning, and if he does, he only sees appointments." ”
Maomao's father showed a look of disappointment on his face, and said "oh", and he was a little uninterested in listening to them chatting again, so he got up and went to play with the three children.
Maomao's mother told two interesting things about Maomao and Xiaohe at home, and asked Gong Qingchen: "Are you going to add a younger brother to Xiaoxiao?"
Gong Qingchen wore a loose skirt this morning, covering her belly, coupled with her deliberate attention gesture, Maomao's mother did not see that she was pregnant.
She smiled slightly and said, "Let it be." ”
Maomao's mother took the opportunity to say: "There are still two children at home, not to mention, you and Mr. Ji are still young, and there is no shortage of people to watch the children." ”
Gong Qingchen looked at her suspiciously, very suspicious that she was sent by the street family planning to give birth to a second child.
Feeling the strangeness in Gong Qingchen's eyes, Maomao's mother smiled and continued: "I didn't mean that, your freedom! ”
"Where are you old, look at us the same age. Gong Qingchen naturally wanted to comfort her, "If you are willing to tell me, it also depends on our close relationship." ”
"Yes, our two families are close. Maomao's mother said, sat down closer to her, took her hand and said affectionately, "Look, you like Maomao to be quiet, I like to smile and be lively, we are still so temperamental, it's better to recognize a godfather!"
"Huh?" Gong Qingchen's mind was confused, and he didn't turn the corner for a while, why did he get involved with his relatives?
Maomao's mother said that the godmother is not as simple as verbally recognizing a godmother and goddaughter, she wants to walk around as a relative seriously, and it is the two of them who recognize each other's goddaughters. After Gong Qingchen figured out what she meant, he hurriedly excused himself: "This is not appropriate, Xiaoxiao already has a serious godmother, who is my best friend, and it is not appropriate to recognize it again." ”
The disappointment on Maomao's mother's face flashed, and she continued without giving up: "Then you have a child again, I ......"
"This is also booked by my best friend. Gong Qingchen interrupted her words first, with an "apologetic" smile on his face, "It's a pity." ”
"It's a shame indeed. Maomao's mother's disappointment was simply beyond words, "I really like to laugh." ”
"I really like Maomao, too. Gong Qingchen echoed her words and said.
Maomao's mother wanted to say it again, Gong Qingchen was afraid that she would not be able to answer it again, so she hurriedly intercepted the conversation and said first: "I am still very busy with work now, sometimes I don't have time to bring a smile, or thanks to the help of the old people in the family, one more child, I'm afraid this day will not have to pass." Or do you have the ability, the two children in the family are very well-behaved, and everything is in order. ”
Speaking of which, Maomao's mother was embarrassed to climb up again, she smiled at Gong Qingchen and said modestly: "What's the matter, it's just that the days have passed for a long time, and I'm just used to everything." ”
Gong Qingchen smiled in agreement, her heart was infinitely sad, why did Xiaoxiao have such a good relationship with Mao Mao, so that she had to deal with this family like this.
The children played harmoniously, talking and laughing until noon. Gong Qingchen greeted Ji Yunyang in advance, and before lunch, he drove back in the rain.
"Mr. Ji!" Maomao's father was more enthusiastic than Gong Qingchen, who was his wife, and greeted him with two umbrellas, and said, "Say goodbye last time, it's been a long time!"
"If you don't meet, it means that everything is going well, and I hope I don't see you. Ji Yunyang said a joke with an expressionless face, then handed the car key to the security guard on the side, took an umbrella and opened it, and walked towards Gong Qingchen with Maomao's father.
Xiaoxiao was talking to Mao Mao and Xiao He about being hugged by her sisters and aunts on the set, and when she heard Ji Yunyang's footsteps, she put down the two of them and ran over quickly.
"Xiaoxiao wait for me!" Mao Mao didn't want to stay alone with Xiao He, so she hurriedly followed, saw Ji Yunyang, greeted her in a low voice, and then stood behind her with Xiaoxiao's hand.
Ji Yunyang politely praised Mao Mao, and said to Gong Qingchen: "I'm back late, it's really inconsiderate to let you entertain guests alone." ”
Maomao's parents naturally said that they didn't need to see outside, and everyone was not an outsider.
Now that Ji Yunyang is back, the lunch at home is also on the table, because the two families, including the children, there are seven people combined, and they can't sit in the small hall at all, Gong Qingchen asked people to open the door of the big restaurant next to them and put the lunch there.
Mao Mao was a little afraid of Ji Yunyang, she took Xiaoxiao's hand and followed her, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoxiao, is your Uncle Ji really not going to murder you?"
"No, it won't. "He's super nice to me, if I don't have a dad, I'll call him dad!"
"But......" said Mao Mao hesitantly, "he doesn't laugh, he looks so scary." ”
"That's because you're not likable!" Xiao He said to Mao Mao with a big grin, "Who would smile at someone they don't like!"
"You!" Mao Mao was said by Xiao He, his heart became uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to refute loudly when he wanted to say it, for fear that his parents would hear that he was not sensible outside, so he only shouted one word and closed his mouth, hiding behind Xiaoxiao with his mouth closed, tears rolling in his eyes.
Xiao He saw that Mao Mao was crying, but he was not afraid, but made a grimace at her and Xiaoxiao a little proudly, with the look of a little bully.
The adults walked in front and couldn't see what was going on between the three children, but Xiaoxiao saw the turmoil between the brothers and sisters clearly. She has never rubbed sand in her eyes, otherwise she would not have been called a parent by the teacher last time because she gave Maomao a head. Seeing Xiao He bullying Mao Mao like this, she grabbed Mao Mao's hand without hesitation, blocked it in front of her, and said to Xiao He with a serious face: "You can't do this, apologize to Mao Mao!"
"I didn't make a mistake, what do you apologize for?" Xiao He said with a hippie smile, stuck out his tongue at the two of them again, and ran to the front to take his mother's hand.
couldn't laugh, ran directly to Xiao He, broke his mother's hand, and then dragged him to Maomao's side.
Little Hebby Xiaoxiao is two or three years older, and it stands to reason that his strength should be greater than her, but Xiaoxiao has strengthened his exercise for a while, and he was stupid for a while by her momentum, and he forgot to break free, so he was forcibly pulled in front of Maomao.
