Chapter 17: Staying Overnight
Bai Xi and Bai Zhongqiu stayed at Xia's house for dinner, this meal is not Grandma Xia's craftsmanship, but Daddy Xia and Uncle Xia cooked, although it is not as good as Grandma Xia, but the color and fragrance are also quite good, others don't say it for the time being, Bai Xi In the process of eating, the whole person is beautiful, as if he has some kind of happy post, although he is also quite enthusiastic about the dishes made by Father Xia, but the dishes made by Uncle Xia basically fell into his stomach.
Xia squinted his eyes and glanced at Bai Xi, pursed his lips in disgust, and after stuffing the last meatball in the bowl into his mouth, he thought while chewing, where is this like a person from the Bai family, it is too embarrassing, and it should be educated well. However, after thinking about it, he is not a member of the Bai family now, but a child of the Xia family, and he should be happy to see Bai Xi's little uncle like him. If their relationship changes in the future, if Bai Xi treats the little uncle badly, he can teach Bai Xi a good lesson as a nephew.
Thinking of this, Summer shook his fist, and just thinking about it made him feel very comfortable.
After dinner, Bai Xi and Bai Zhongqiu were about to leave, and the people of the Xia family didn't have much to stay, after all, it was not a short distance from Wanjiazhuang to the city, and if they didn't leave, it would be completely dark, and the road would not be very safe.
As soon as the family sent the Bai family and their sons to the gate of the courtyard, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky, and in an instant, the heavy rain poured down, fortunately, Grandma Xia and Mother Xia did not leave the house, otherwise, they would be drenched in soup like everyone else, so it would be troublesome.
There are no clothes to dry in the yard, just drive the dogs back to their nests, but I feel a little pity in the summer, and the tree pits just dug in the back mountain are probably useless, and I have to start over. However, this is also something that cannot be helped, and no one can predict what will happen in this weather.
Grandma Xia stood at the door of the hall, watching a few people in the courtyard running around, looking at their wolf bรจi appearance, how ridiculous it is!
Father Xia rushed into his and Xia's mother's room, and Uncle Xia took Bai Zhongqiu to his own house, and the two children of Xia and Bai Zhongqiu were stuffed into the summer hut by the way...... Especially when it is close to noon, it is very hot, once it is at night, it will become extremely cool, and even feel a little cold, so, after the rain, they went into the bathroom together to take a steaming hot bath, and in the summer, they wore a big bath towel to Bai Zhongqiu to find clothes that he had never worn, which were brand new from the inside out. It's just a little bit, the number of the clothes is a little small, the summer vest makes Bai Zhongqiu a crop top as soon as he wears it, and the shorts don't particularly fit, but Bai Zhongqiu doesn't care at all, it seems that he likes it quite a bit.
"Tut-tut, Brother Xiaoqiu, the natural hanger is different, even if the clothes are small, they look quite suitable for you. Xia Xia pouted, looking at Bai Zhongqiu, who was half a head taller than him, with envy, "Hmph, I can grow taller in the future, you wait and see!"
"Hmm. Bai Zhongqiu stretched out his hand and touched Summer's head, looking at his unconvinced little appearance, he felt funny, he didn't know if it was like this when Summer was still Bai Xu, he felt that it should be about the same, after all, he was the one who grew up with his funny father Bai Xi, and his temper / sex / should be about the same!
"It's raining so hard, you definitely won't be able to leave tonight, just stay, it's not a big deal anyway, Uncle Bai can still chat with Uncle Xiao, and the two of us can play games together." Xia Xia said as he rummaged through his cabinet to find pillows and towels for Bai Zhongqiu, he remembered that his mother had stuffed several sets, and at that time he also said that he had stuffed too much, but he didn't expect to use them in just a few days. "Ah, I found it. โ
When he opened the third wardrobe door, he saw the pillows and towel quilts neatly arranged inside, he took the top pillow and threw it on the bed, turned over a towel quilt that matched his own pattern and threw it on the bed, and took out a pillowcase by the way.
"Thank you. โ
"No thanks, if you hadn't come here to find me, you wouldn't have encountered such a thing, isn't it, this is how it should be!" Xia Xia leaned on the wardrobe door, watched Bai Zhongqiu skillfully put on the pillow, and nodded secretly, this child's hands-on ability is good, a child of his age rarely does such a thing, this should be related to his past experiences. Before he was adopted by Bai Xi, it is estimated that all the work in the family was done by Bai Zhongqiu.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Bai Zhongqiu finished putting on the pillow and placed it next to the summer pillow, looking left and right, he felt that it was a good match, and bent the corners of his lips in satisfaction. As soon as he turned around, Bai Zhongqiu saw Xia Xia looking at him with a strange look, and he touched his face, "Ji Ji, is there anything on my face?"
"Nope. Summer shook her head, "I just think Brother Xiaoqiu is very powerful, he can do anything." โ
Regarding the summer compliment, Bai Zhongqiu just hooked the corners of his lips and didn't say much.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Xia ran over to open the door, and saw Dad Xia, Uncle Xia and Bai Xi standing at the door, Dad Xia and Bai Xi holding an umbrella in one hand and a bowl of steaming ginger soup in the other. Summer turned sideways to let them in, and looked at the situation outside, the rain was still falling, and the rain was not as heavy as just now, but if you want to drive back to the city, there will still be certain risk factors.
"Hurry up and drink the ginger soup, don't catch a cold. โ
Father Xia and Bai Xi stuffed the bowl into the hands of Xia Xia and Bai Zhongqiu at the same time, Bai Zhongqiu didn't have a bad reaction to the ginger soup, and drank it all very happily, but not in Xia, he didn't like this taste very much, he was particularly reluctant to drink it, and looked at Xia Dad and Uncle Xia pitifully, trying to escape by selling cuteness.
"It's shameful to sell cuteness, it's ineffective to sell cuteness!" Uncle Xia raised his eyebrows, "Your cold is just a few days away, do you want to do it again?" If you can't drink it, uncle, I don't mind helping you drink it!"
"Ji Ji, look at how good your white brother is, he drank it up so quickly, you have to learn from him. "Dad Xia is a simple and honest person, he will never say that kind of threatening words, he has always persuaded people with reason. "If you get sick, grandma and mom will be worried, you don't want them to be sad because of you, do you?"
When Xia thought of the baby in Xia's mother's womb that had not yet been born, and thought of the grandmother who loved him very much, he pursed his lips, looked at the ginger soup in his hand, and poured it down with his nose. As soon as he swallowed the last bite and wanted to run to the bathroom to rinse his mouth, a mint candy was stuffed in, and a cool feeling swept through his mouth, and the spicy taste was gone.
"Look, it's still your brother Bai who is thanking you and Brother Bai. Xia's father took away the bowl in Xia's hand and patted his son's head.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaoqiu. Summer smiled at Bai Zhongqiu with the sugar in his mouth, and he didn't know why, the mints he was used to eating in his usual days seemed to be a little sweeter than before when he ate them today.
Bai Zhongqiu didn't speak, just nodded slightly, indicating that he had received the summer thanks.
"Now that you've all made your beds, Xiao Qiuqiu will spend the night here in Jiji. Uncle Xia looked at the pillows and towels that had been placed, and expressed great satisfaction with his nephew's hospitality, "Look at this day, maybe this rain will fall until tomorrow, if that's the case, Xiao Qiuqiu will stay at home, if there is anything in the city, your father and I will deal with it." โ
"Otherwise, Xiaobai, you are very busy with work, if you can rest assured, just put Midautumn at our house for the summer vacation, it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks and a bowl." Father Xia thought for a while, and proposed this suggestion - in fact, this was proposed by Grandma Xia first, she really liked Bai Zhongqiu, a child, so steady and decent, and wanted her little skin monkey Ji Ji to learn more from others.
"Actually, I have this plan too. Bai Xi looked at Dad Xia with great surprise, "I am usually busy with work, and he is also at home alone during the holidays, which is quite lonely." Being able to get to know Ji Ji this time can be regarded as having a companion, but it is just to disturb the eldest brother, sister-in-law and Aunt Xia, and I have to trouble you to help take care of it. โ
"Don't say that, it's just a gesture. Father Xia shook his head, he could see that Bai Xi and his younger brother had a good relationship, thinking about it, they had worked hard together for so many years, and they had braved countless storms and waves, and they had long regarded each other as their own relatives. Moreover, after a day of contact, Father Xia felt that Bai Xi looked a little unreliable, but in fact, he was still very strict in his life, and he was very kind in his heart, he was definitely not the kind of sinister and cunning person, and he was a person worth dating. Thinking of this, Father Xia smiled, "Okay, it's decided, Xiaobai, you should be busy with your going, Zhongqiu will stay here and spend the summer vacation with Ji Ji, I still expect Zhongqiu to help Ji Ji study!" He turned to look at Bai Zhongqiu, "Zhongqiu, tell Uncle, are you willing to stay here?"
"Well, yes. Bai Zhongqiu nodded, smiled towards Summer, and reached out to hold Summer's little paw.
"Okay, since the children have agreed, Xiaobai, don't say anything, if you have time, just come a few more times. If you really want to be in mid-autumn, you just come back with the second child every day, our family has a lot of houses, and it's nothing to prepare one for you. I really don't want to live alone, so I can live in the second house!"
"Cheng, since the eldest brother said so, I won't shirk it, and it would be hypocritical to say it again!"
Xia Xia looked at Bai Xi, who was so happy that his mouth was about to grin behind the root of his ears, he pursed his lips in disgust, and said, "Okay, okay, let's leave after you all discuss it, Brother Xiaoqiu and I still have something to say!"
"Isn't there something wrong with you?" Uncle Xia stepped forward and pinched Summer's cheeks, looked at the cartoon alarm clock on the desk, snorted twice, and said, "It's game time, okay, we won't bother you." But...... Don't bully Xiaodouzi all the time, every time you look at Xiaodouzi with tears in her eyes, you feel so pitiful. โ
"I know, I won't always bully him. Xia shook the paws held by Bai Zhongqiu, "Today is mainly to open a new number for Brother Xiaoqiu, let him practice his hands, and I have to ask Xiaodouzi to help upgrade!"
"It's not too late. When Father Xia was about to go out, he warned, "I'll come to check it later." โ
"Got it!" Xia waved his paw at Xia's father, indicating that he would be obedient, seeing that his door was closed, Xia stuck out his tongue at Bai Zhongqiu, "Welcome Brother Xiao Qiu to my house." โ
"Well, I'll be in trouble for you for the next month, Jiji. โ
In summer, it is a happy place, and the Xia family in City B is a little cloudy.
