By the time I arrived at the third park, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Jixing hurried back to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, and after putting down his sister, he turned the car and went back.

Chen Xingling pushed open the door and entered the house, and saw his son playing in the garden, while Li Ying was scolding in the kitchen, as if he was scolding Zhao Xiaoxing.

When Xiaohuzi saw his mother, he hurriedly ran over excitedly.

"Mom! You're back! ”

Chen Xingling hugged his son and asked, "When did grandma come?" Where's your dad? ”

Xiaohuzi replied: "Dad is in the kitchen." Mom, it's not good...... Earlier, my uncle and aunt came, and I don't know what was going on, but my aunt's eyes were red. Later, the grandmother scolded the aunt, and the aunt ran away crying. The uncle chased him out, but the grandmother was still scolding the aunt. ”

Chen Xingling secretly felt that something was wrong and pushed his son.

"You go and play, Mom goes in first."

The little tiger was very well-behaved, and ran away with the little windmill.

Chen Xingling remembered her mother-in-law's "advice" yesterday, and hurriedly hid in the study, and quietly took out a large bundle of beef jerky from the supermarket space.

Then, she twisted the beef jerky and walked to the kitchen.

I only heard Li Ying crackling and scolding, and there was not a good word in her mouth.

“…… You can't do anything! Even such important things can be stuffed around! She just doesn't have a good brain, otherwise she would do this! Ah Yi is really unlucky to marry a broom star like her! Woe to the family! Married to such a bastard! ”

"Bad background and no culture! Bad looking, black and strong - the orangutan is not as ugly as her! Cowering and not daring! I scolded her a few words, and she dared to cry! Am I wrong? Shouldn't she be scolded? It's infuriating! ”

Chen Xingling walked into the kitchen and found that Li Ying was picking vegetables and cursing at the same time, while Gu Qi was cutting braised pork.

Gu Qi didn't look back, and said lightly: "Mom, Xiaoxing didn't mean it, what's the use of you scolding her?" Those are the money they make themselves, and she is more distressed than you. ”

"She's distressed?!" Li Ying gritted her teeth: "It's a fart to feel distressed!" It's useless! You can't even collect a little money! Ah Yixin's hard-earned money was ruined by her! Isn't this a drag on Ah Yi?! It's a broom star! ”

"What's wrong?" Chen Xingling asked.

She spoke suddenly, startling both mother and child in the kitchen, and turned around in unison.

Li Ying glanced at Chen Xingling and said angrily: "Chinese New Year's Eve is almost over, you don't know to come back now!" ”

Chen Xingling threw the beef jerky in his hand to her.

Li Ying instinctively hugged it, but turned her eyes wide in surprise, and she was happy to come and go.

"The more you bite this thing, the more fragrant it becomes...... Not bad...... That's not bad! ”

Gu Qi smiled slightly and asked, "How did you come back?" I just heard the sound of a motorcycle. ”

"The fourth brother sent me back." Chen Xingling washed his hands and replied, "He rushed back for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so he didn't come in." Xiao Xing, what's wrong with them? ”

Gu Qi frowned slightly, and explained in a low voice: "Ah Yi and Xiao Xing's salaries are all kept by Xiao Xing. There were rats on the rental house from time to time, and they didn't care at first. Last night, Xiao Xing found that the money they had saved had been eaten by rats, and several large pieces of unity were missing. ”

"Isn't it?" Chen Xingling asked, "Where is it?" Let me see. ”

Gu Qi shook his head: "It was taken away by Ah Yi." Xiao Xing blamed herself and was very sad. The little couple estimated that they had quarreled, and Xiao Xing had red eyes when she came over. It just so happened that my mom came, and Ah Yi told her about it. Xiao Xing ran out crying, and I asked Ah Yi to hurry up and chase her back. ”

"I can't complain about Xiao Xing—" Chen Xingling said.

"I can't complain!" Li Ying screamed angrily: "Don't blame her, who do you blame?" Resentful rats? If she asks her to collect the money, she can confiscate it! If you have money, you can make it into no money! How useless this is! She didn't want to think about how difficult it was for Ah Yi to make money! ”

Chen Xingling said lightly: "It's not easy for anyone to make money. Xiaoxing also makes money, and she naturally understands that it is not easy to make money. The damaged money is Ah Yi's money, and there is also her money. She is the most guilty and saddest person, and she is more sad than you. Just say a few words. ”

Li Ying pulled a piece of beef jerky hard, and gnawed on it irritably.

"A few dozen dollars are gone! Gone! ”

Chen Xingling thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily." Wait for Ah Yi to come back and see how badly the money has damaged, and if there is still two-thirds left, you can go to the bank to exchange it. ”

"Nope." Gu Qi whispered: "Many of them are only a small piece of piece." Several of the great solidarity are missing by half, more than a third. ”

Chen Xingling proposed: "After the New Year, take it to the bank and try it to see if it is feasible." ”

Then, she began to help prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Li Ying took out the noodles, quickly cut them into small pieces, and began to wrap leek dumplings.

After Gu Qi finished cutting the braised pork, he took out the grouper that his father-in-law gave him yesterday and cleaned it carefully and put it on a large plate.

Chen Xingling put the shredded ginger and chili pepper into the fish belly and outside, poured a little hot oil, and put it in the steamer to steam. Then he took out some glutinous cakes from Martha and put them in another steamer.

At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard outside.

Chen Xingling looked around and found that it was Gu Xuan who came, not Gu Yixiao.

She thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Archie, you go and take a look and help persuade you." ”

Gu Qi understood, washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen, took out his bicycle and hurried out.

"Daddy! I'm going too! Xiaohuzi chased him out.

Gu Qi fished the little guy on the horizontal bar in front of him, kicked his long legs, and the bicycle set off smoothly.

Chen Xingling helped her mother-in-law make dumplings together.

Gu Xuan whispered hello, sat down and helped.

Li Ying's face was still very stinky, and she snorted lightly: "If you do something wrong, you have to persuade the eldest brother!" She didn't want to turn the other way! ”

Chen Xingling glanced at her mother-in-law coldly and successfully made her stop.

The three of them silently wrapped dumplings.

I thought that Gu Qi and his son would be back soon, but after more than half an hour, the sky began to darken, and they were still nowhere to be seen.

Chen Xingling was secretly a little worried.

The sound of firecrackers came one after another outside, which was very lively, but the courtyard of his house was deserted.

Li Ying dozed off on the kitchen stove, and from time to time there was a low snoring sound.

Gu Xuan walked out and asked lightly, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Xingling sighed and told her the whole story.

Gu Xuan's face was slightly gloomy: "The second sister-in-law didn't mean it, don't blame her." ”

"But your mother doesn't think so!" Chen Xingling smiled bitterly.

At this time, Gu Qi and Xiaohuzi came back.

"There was no one in the rental house and the landlord said they didn't go back. I've searched all over the neighborhood and can't find anywhere. ”

Chen Xingling's brows furrowed, looking at the sky that had already darkened.

"It's not too late for Ah Yi to chase out, right? Are you sure he can catch Xiaoxing? ”

Gu Qi nodded: "It's just a few words, and I won't be unable to catch up." ”

"That's good." Chen Xingling said: "Let's eat something first, and wait later." ”

It was supposed to be a happy reunion dinner, but who knew that he was very nervous and his appetite was much worse - except for Li Ying.

After Li Ying was full, she got up and stretched.

"Ah Xuan, are you full? Walk! Let's go back! ”

Gu Xuan shook his head: "I want to stay and wait for the second brother and sister-in-law." ”

Li Ying glanced at her daughter and said angrily: "When they are hungry, they will naturally come back to eat." They have their own nest to cook, and they can't starve to death! ”

Gu Xuan ignored her.

Li Ying took out a small red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it to Xiaohuzi: "Big grandson, rich and expensive!" Grow up quickly! ”

"Thank you, grandma." Xiaohuzi Mali took it and said with a crisp smile: "Grandma is healthy and has a long life." ”

Li Ying said "ouch hey" twice, and finally smiled.

"It's still my eldest grandson! When I heard these words, I rejoiced! ”

She turned her head away and urged her daughter to go back with her.

Gu Xuan shook his head.

Li Ying was a little impatient, turned around and took out a flashlight and went back first.

Chen Xingling and Gu Qi cleaned up the kitchen, told Gu Xuan and Xiaohuzi to stay at home, and each rode their bicycles to go out to look for it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they went out for a while, Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing came back.

Gu Xuan saw that they were all fine, and pointed to the kitchen and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law went to look for you, they said that everything was hot in the steamer, so let you go and eat when you come back." ”

The two of them were already hungry, nodded and went to the kitchen.
