Chapter Seventy-Five: A Family Road Trip in Europe
On Christmas Day, it started to snow.
The most excited is, of course, Xiao Tianjiao and her two brothers, without waiting for the snow to stop, Xiao Tianjiao pulled the two brothers and ran outside the room to build a snowman. Shen Hong and Liu Xiangdong went out to take care of the children, while Pang Chunfang and Yao Shijing prepared Christmas dinner in the kitchen.
After building the snowman, the three children started a snowball fight, and later the two adults, Liu Xiangdong and Shen Hong, joined in. Outside the house, children laughed and screamed.
After playing for more than an hour, the children were sweating, Liu Xiangdong and Shen Hong took the children back, filled the big bathtub with hot water, and the three children stripped naked and put them in the big bathtub together. The children began to play in the water again in the big bathtub, and Liu Xiangdong, who was watching the children playing on the side, was drenched by three bear children.
finally washed all the three children, and asked Shen Hong to carry the children back to the room one by one to get dressed, and Liu Xiangdong changed a pool of water by himself and began to take a bath.
After taking a bath, night falls, and Christmas dinner is ready to begin. I turned on all the lights in the living room and lit two colored candles on the dining table. A fragrant roast turkey was served first, Liu Xiangdong used a knife to divide the food, Liu Tianjiao and Liu Tianhao both got a big chicken leg, and Liu Tianyu also got a big chicken wing. The remaining big chicken wings, Pang Chunfang, Yao Shijing, and Shen Hong used rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner, and in the end, it was Shen Hong who won the big chicken wings.
Yao Shijing likes to eat chicken necks, but no one robs her.
After eating the turkey, the next second course is a small steak per person. Pang Chunfang has been in Europe for more than five years, and her skills in frying steak can be compared with those chefs in domestic Western restaurants.
The third course is a vegetable salad, the fourth is the staple Italian pasta, and the fifth is a sweet gelato.
Not only did the children have bulging stomachs, but the adults didn't want to move anymore after eating.
The family gathered around the fire, and Pang Chunfang told fairy tales to the three children. She had to speak first in English and then in Chinese. The language skills of all three children can be improved.
After listening to the two stories, the children, who had been playing for a long time, got tired and fell asleep on their respective mothers.
The mothers carried the little baby to the bed, and the four adults, who were not sleepy, simply set up a table of quintessential mahjong.
"Ten chips are given to each person, and those who lose have to take off their clothes. Pang Chunfang said.
The heating was turned on in the house, and the three women wore only bathrobes after taking a shower, and the inside was vacuum, and if they took off their clothes, they would be slippery.
Liu Xiangdong has no opinion, Shen Hong has no opinion, and Yao Shijing has no opinion if she is forced.
On Christmas Eve, in a house in Europe, the sound of Chinese mahjong sounded.
After a lap, Shen Hong lost all the chips in her hand first, she took off her clothes happily and continued to play naked.
The second person to lose all her clothes and take off her clothes was Yao Shijing, and the third place was Pang Chunfang, and Liu Xiangdong became the biggest winner.
Liu Xiangdong was finally pulled into the master bedroom by three naked women, and then he was stripped naked by three naked women, and a war of the four countries finally broke out.
The next morning, Liu Xiangdong, who was tired in the middle of the night, was woken up by the screams of the children.
In the living room, there are more than a dozen gifts that three mothers and one father have prepared long ago.
The children's favorite thing to do is to open the gift wrap and see what the parents have to surprise them with.
Xiao Tianjiao found the little red cape she had been wanting for a long time, as well as a box of twelve little Barbie dolls.
Liu Tianhao found that he had been waiting for a long time for the small electronic keyboard, as well as his favorite little bell.
Liu Tianyu found a Hummer toy car that could be controlled remotely, as well as a small train with railroad tracks.
The three brothers and sisters share the joy of playing with their favorite toys, poor Liu Xiangdong got up with his waist, no matter what, tonight, I have to apply for a break, there are many wives, and it is not necessarily a good thing that is beneficial and harmless.
Liu Xiangdong applied for a break, and the three women agreed, of course, they just agreed to let him rest during the day and let him take care of the children at home, and the three women went shopping on the street together.
Liu Xiangdong, who wanted to rest, had to deal with three children from one to three years old, but the result was that not only did he not get a rest, but he almost fell down tired. And the three mothers came back from shopping with a spring breeze on their faces, constantly changing into the clothes they had just bought in front of Liu Xiangdong, and asked Liu Xiangdong to give an evaluation.
The experienced Liu Xiangdong gave every piece of clothing to every woman, of course, it was a good review, if he dared to give a bad review, I am afraid he would not want to sleep tonight.
There are discounts in major shopping malls at Christmas, and the women's shopping activities are carried out for three days before they stop.
