Chapter Twenty-Three: The Third Uncle
The sixth day of the ninth month was the day of General Xiao's 60th birthday, and the emperor remembered his hard work in guarding the frontier for many years, and transferred him back to Kyoto, so that he would stay in the imperial city from then on, and there was no need to return to that bitter cold place. General Xiao, who received the emperor's order, was still on his way home, because there were still four days to go.
On the second day of the ninth lunar month, Xiao Jingmin was the first to come back, in order to celebrate his old father's birthday, he worked hard for many days to deal with the official business at hand, and hurried back. Because something happened to the place where he worked last year, the New Year was spent there alone. I have never seen my own daughter, nor have I seen my nephew, niece, and the little nephew of my second brother's family. To say that the family is becoming more and more prosperous now, there are four people in more than a year, and there are men and women, so much better, I really have to wake up with a smile.
Xiao Yuan was woken up by his own mother with a special means, as for what means it is, just look at the red little nose. At the moment, he is sleepy-eyed in his father's arms, and he is about to fall asleep. Xiao Jingmin glanced at his wife helplessly, is this his mother? Yuan Yutong immediately glared back, am I not for you? I thought you hadn't seen your daughter yet, and I wanted you to see her at first sight when you came back. Seeing his wife's power, Xiao Jingmin lowered his head to avoid her eyes, and gently patted his daughter to coax her, we can't afford to provoke it, we can afford to hide.
Entering Ninghe Hall, Xiao Jingmin kowtowed to his mother,
Everyone greeted each other, and what he wanted to see most now were the nephews and nieces he had never met.
"What about my little nephews and little nieces? I want to take a good look at the little peace that there is no underground in the sky, every time I receive a letter, the most mentioned is her, and the news of my daughter will be ranked behind her, so that I always have the illusion that peace is our third room! ”
Yuan Yutong glanced at her husband, how could it be so exaggerated, she just mentioned it slightly.
Since having Xiao Yuan, the little sisters are tired of being together almost every day, nine months have passed, Xiao Yao has become more and more neat in talking and walking, and Xiao Yuan has become more and more fond of playing with her sister. Xiao Yao looks like a sister, wiping her mouth for her sister and playing with her sister. Yuan Yutong once told her two sisters-in-law that she was no longer useful, and Ping An took care of her sister more than her mother-in-law, so every time she wrote a letter to her husband, she would use a lot of space to talk about how Ping An and her daughter were, how to ......
"I haven't woken up from a nap yet." Xiao Jingkang mentioned his daughter, his eyes and eyebrows were dyed with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of "oh, oooh, oh" footsteps, no need to guess to know that it was Xiao Jun coming, his footsteps were very similar to General Xiao, as if he was stomping his feet, and the sound was very loud.
The boy in the royal blue boy's suit poked his head in first, and saw the people sitting in the living room "wow", retracted again, and shouted loudly, "Sister, sister, come quickly." ”
Isn't the child supposed to be napping? Xiao Jingkang and his wife were very surprised, and asked Xiying and Xiwei, the two big girls, to hurry out to see what was going on.
Xiao Jingmin's arms are fighting against Zhou Gong, Xiao Yuan,
Hearing the voice of his little friend, he abandoned Zhou Gong, woke up, stared at the door curtain, looking forward to his partners appearing sooner, and even more looking forward to seeing his sister sooner.
The little boy who had gone and returned had easily entered the house and stood by the door waiting. A small cherry red figure then appeared in everyone's field of vision,
A small hair that is not thick is combed into two small bags, tied with a thin ribbon decorated with golden bells, a palm-sized little face is as smooth as the first snow, a pair of shining big eyes, smart, clear, long eyelashes with the blink of the eyes up and down, like two small fans, lips like two pink petals.
Xiao Jingmin now finally knows why his wife mentions this little niece in every letter, and it is difficult for you to like her or not.
She and her brother stood on both sides of the door, one on the left and one on the right, as if they were still waiting for something. After a short while, a small body like a ball rolled to the edge of the door, and when he saw the slightly higher threshold in front of him, he was a little worried, and when he looked at the people waiting for him on both sides, his eyes suddenly lit up. Xiao Qi first laboriously moved a little fat leg to the threshold, and then stretched out two little fat hands very naturally, waiting for rescue.
Xiao Jun and Xiao Yao each held a hand and dragged him hard towards the door, Xiao Yao still shouted the slogan "One, two, three, come on." Xiying and Xiwei were beside the three little masters, just looking at it with a smile,
But he didn't mean to help. It's not that they deliberately ignore the little master, it's really the uncle and the eldest wife who don't allow it,
I remember the first time I saw this kind of scene, the two of them rushed over to help, and the uncle complained about the destruction of the atmosphere, and warned them not to do such things in the future.
A room full of people were watching, and not a single one went up to help. Xiao Jingmin wanted to make some suggestions to help a group of nephews and nieces. But in the eyes of all the spectators, in addition to a smile, there is still a smile, and there is no trace of anxiety, and everyone's face is an expression of waiting to see a good show. Forget it, it's a rare opportunity, let's watch the play yourself.
Xiao Yao, who was tired and had a red face, turned around and glared at everyone, even looking at the excitement of children, you are too much! Finally, with the help of the two of them, the little fat man Xiao Qi landed safely and rolled into Ninghetang.
Xiao Jun is holding his sister with one hand and his younger brother with the other,
Walk up to everyone with your head held high.
"Come here and see your third uncle." Xiao Jingkang's expression on his face had not faded, and when he received his daughter's condemning eyes, he coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment, daughter, you can't just blame me alone, everyone likes to watch your performance so much, I really can't bear to spoil the atmosphere!
The three children in front of him have their own characteristics, Xiao Yao needless to say, just say Xiao Jun and Xiao Qi, one is lively,
A simple, pure-minded child at first glance. The juniors are better than the other, and Xiao Jingmin feels that for them, no matter how tired and hard he is, it is worth it.
"I've seen the third uncle." The two boys spoke in unison.
"Hello third uncle." Xiao Yao shouted sweetly, the family was used to her way of greeting, just as a child who was lazy and didn't want to talk more. Fortunately, in front of outsiders, Xiao Yao is well-behaved, never messes around, and is a very obedient child.
"Peace, come to the third uncle." Hurry up and coax the little niece over, otherwise the daughter will pounce on the ground. I don't know what I ate to grow this body of meat, Ah Qi and Ruyi are more like brothers and sisters, from face shape to body shape, are they very edible! Retracting his divergent thoughts, Xiao Jingmin saw that the two little girls with different painting styles and temperaments had already played together, and quietly worried about his daughter's future.
"Look, these two sisters are the closest, and I'm superfluous most of the time as a mother." Yuan Yutong's words were full of vinegar, and he also showed everyone a look of loss and sadness, but unfortunately no one responded.
"A bunch of people who have no conscience." It's okay if the little one ignores himself, anyway, he's used to it, but his husband and himself haven't seen each other for a year, and they dare to ignore themselves, and it seems that they have to be served by the family law tonight.
Xiao Yuan struggled to get off the ground, and let out a cheerful laugh while pounced on Xiao Yao like a forest. Yuan Yutong covered his chest with his hands, feeling very hurt, Ruyi, I'm your mother! Are you ignoring me so completely? This time, Xiao Jingmin glanced at his wife soothingly,
Yuan Yutong, who was depressed, glared back.
Xiao Jingmin smiled with a smiling face, women are really difficult to coax, it's not right to ignore her, it's not okay to ignore her, I won't let myself go to sleep on the ground tonight, hang!
