just want to pamper you

The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer. Although Xiao Shutong has promised his parents to celebrate the New Year with them separately, he still has all the things that need to be tidied up and bought at home.

It has been less than half a month since Ling Shuofang came back from his villa. During this period, Ling Shuofang sent WeChat messages from time to time, and occasionally made videos. He also came to see Xiao Shutong a few times. The closer the Chinese New Year is, he will probably get busy, although Xiao Shutong doesn't know if it is. The reason is that Ling Shuofang's contact has not been that frequent recently.

Cheng Shanyao also went abroad for the New Year. He told Xiao Shutong that he hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and this time the whole family would stay there longer.

Xiao Shutong was quite envious of having brothers and sisters in his family. He thought that if he also had brothers and sisters, at least he would not always feel so lonely when he was free.

I went to the market to buy some New Year’s goods. The old community is very lively recently, and many people who live out come back to celebrate the New Year with the elderly, so the nearest community is always full of cars, because the parking lot is planned later. , it is definitely not enough now, but fortunately, there is no way to park a car in the row of the door of the unit building, otherwise Xiao Shutong would feel very troubled.

Occasionally, you can hear the voices of families clamoring to move their cars, and the security of the community can't control it. The property fee here is very low, and it feels that all the power of the property is used to maintain environmental sanitation.

As soon as Xiao Shutong got home, he heard a bell ringing like spring water. Within a few seconds of answering the phone, Xiao Shutong thought that he hadn't answered the phone for a long time. Usually, his parents rarely called him, and after downloading various social software , Cheng Shanyao and Ling Shuofang are chatting through WeChat, so he hasn't heard the ringtone for a long time.

"mom."

"Hey, Shutong, come someday." Zhang Jingwan wanted Xiao Shutong to go to her side two days earlier, but Xiao Shutong didn't want to.

"I, I'll go there by New Year's Eve." Xiao Shutong was a little embarrassed

It was quiet for a while, "Shutong, you should come two days earlier. Mom hasn't seen you for a long time. It's boring if you don't go to class by yourself. It's more lively here."

Xiao Shutong really didn't want to go there, he had met that uncle a few times, and the uncle didn't treat him badly, he was just an ordinary person, but he just couldn't stand the atmosphere, "Mom, let's go there that day, I I'm going to see my grandma."

Zhang Jingwan became quieter when she heard it, and Xiao Shutong realized that what she said was a bit wrong. If his mother still insisted on him going over, wouldn't it be unfilial to his grandmother?

"Mom, no, I mean." Xiao Shutong anxiously didn't know how to explain.

"Okay, mom knows, then, come over early when you are thirty. Stay here for two days before going to the other side." Seeing that Xiao Shutong had already said this, Zhang Jingwan couldn't force her anymore.

Xiao Shutong agreed, and Zhang Jingwan hung up the phone without saying anything else. Xiao Shutong held the phone and sighed, thinking why bother, even though they let him celebrate the New Year together, the relationship was always like an outsider.

On the 29th day of the lunar calendar, Xiao Shutong posted New Year pictures and couplets. On the [-]th day, Xiao Shutong toasted his grandparents and burned paper money like his grandmother did in previous years.I didn't go to the cemetery because burning paper money is not allowed there.In the past, grandma would do the same thing every New Year's Eve, bringing Xiao Shutong to burn paper money for his grandfather, burning it in an old iron pot, and then putting it away.

After he finished his work, Xiao Shutong checked the water and electricity switches at home, closed the door and went to his mother with the gifts he bought.

Shaking the bus with not many customers, it took nearly two hours to get to the place.

Zhang Jingwan opened the door and was very happy to see her son, whom she hadn't seen very often, "Shutong, come in quickly." She let her body wait for Xiao Shutong to enter the door, "You child, why are you still carrying things?" It's helpless, Zhang Jingwan knows that Grandma Shutong taught her well, but she is still so polite when she comes to her mother's house.

"It's nothing, it's just simple." Xiao Shutong also said with some embarrassment

Zhang Jingwan took the gift and put it in the partition next to her, "Cold, come quickly, come and sit down."

Turning into the living room, the sound of the TV was playing cartoons, and sitting on the sofa was a five-year-old boy who was concentrating on watching TV. Zhang Jingwan hurriedly greeted, "Haoyang, look, your brother is here."

Liang Haoyang has no memory of this brother at all. He turned his head to look at the strange brother, and continued to stare at the TV without turning his head.

"You child, I'm talking to you." Zhang Jingwan stepped forward and pulled her son, "Look, that's my brother."

Xiao Shutong stood there with an embarrassed smile, not knowing what to say.

"Shutong, you too, come and sit down. I haven't seen Haoyang for a long time. He has grown up a bit. Now he is a brat, so he just knows how to play." Zhang Jingwan said self-consciously, seeing Xiao Shutong The expression standing there reacted and added a sentence. "Shutong, you have grown taller too."

Xiao Shutong didn't know what was going on in his heart, so he nodded and came over to squat down, and said to Liang Haoyang, "Hello, I'm Xiao Shutong."

"Your name is so difficult to pronounce." Liang Haoyang looked at the stranger in front of him. Although his mother said he was his brother, he had never seen him before.

Zhang Jingwan patted Liang Haoyang lightly, "What are you talking about, go watch your cartoon." Then she let Liang Haoyang sit down, "Shutong, sit down too, I'll pour you some water."

"Mom, no need, I'm not thirsty."

When Liang Haoyang heard Xiao Shutong call his mother, he came out of the world of cartoons, "Why do you also call my mother Mom?" With an innocent question on his face, people couldn't blame him, Zhang Jingwan smiled awkwardly He ran to pour water and did not explain to his son.

Xiao Shutong saw that Liang Haoyang didn't answer, Liang Haoyang was a little strange, but he didn't continue to ask, Xiao Shutong walked slowly to the sofa and sat down, "You like watching this Peking opera cat." Xiao Shutong looked at the cartoon written on the left side of the TV name.

When Liang Haoyang heard the brother ask the cartoon, "Yes, white sugar is very powerful, ha! Ha! Ha!" Liang Haoyang said while gesticulating.

Xiao Shutong smiled, "So amazing."

"Well, white sugar is my favorite!"

"Well, Baitang is awesome." Xiao Shutong thought, Baitang should be the protagonist cat.

Hearing Xiao Shutong's affirmation to him, Liang Haoyang became in a good mood and forgot about the scene just now.

Zhang Jingwan came over with water and was happy to see Xiao Shutong talking to Liang Haoyang. Her eldest son was really sensible.

"Shutong, drink some water." Zhang Jingwan put down the water and sat down, "Your uncle hasn't come back after going out for a while. We've already ordered a New Year's Eve dinner when we go out to eat."

Xiao Shutong nodded and agreed.

It didn't take long, probably when Liang Haoyang watched another episode of cartoons, Liang Zhen came back.

After entering the door, Xiao Shutong quickly stood up, and when someone entered the living room, he respectfully shouted, "Hello, Uncle."

Liang Zhen nodded with a smile, "Shutong, it's already this big."

Liang Haoyang ran over to his father, "Dad, I've got all my new clothes on and I'm going out to eat delicious food. I also want to play with the Doudou car."

Zhang Jingwan also urged, "Hurry up and pack up, we should go out, you are so slow."

Liang Zhen nodded to Zhang Jingwan, hugged Liang Haoyang and teased him, "Okay, son, Dad, we'll go out after changing clothes." After saying that, he put Liang Haoyang down and went into the bedroom, and came out after a few minutes.

Xiao Shutong was in charge of leading Liang Haoyang, Zhang Jingwan carried the bag, and Liang Zhen drove them straight to the reserved restaurant.

When he arrived at the place, Xiao Shutong didn't expect there to be so many people. It turned out that everyone is used to eating out during Chinese New Year.

Liang Haoyang sat down first, Zhang Jingwan sat next to Liang Haoyang, Liang Zhen sat on one side, and Xiao Shutong sat on the other side.There are many people in the restaurant, and there are also many children, so the environment cannot be quiet.Although it will not make a lot of noise, the child will never control his voice.

There is also a large TV in the restaurant, playing the upcoming Spring Festival Gala, the sound of the TV, the noise of the children, it should be so lively during the Chinese New Year.

Liang Haoyang saw other children walking under the seat, and wanted to get down too. Zhang Jingwan didn't want the child to run around and drag him down. Seeing that his mother wouldn't let him get down, Liang Haoyang started yelling to get down. Zhang Jingwan had no choice but to let his son go. go down.It can be seen from this that Zhang Jingwan can't control this child usually.

After Liang Haoyang was able to run, he ran behind other children. The other child should be one year older than Liang Haoyang. He was just walking around their table. Liang Haoyang seemed to want to play with others, but that child did not Just ignore him, and he will come back bored after a while.

The food was served very quickly, because it was a New Year's Eve dinner that was booked in advance, so the ingredients needed for the dishes must have been prepared long ago, otherwise the restaurant would not be too busy with so many tables.

After the dishes were served, Liang Haoyang was more honest. Liang Zhen and Zhang Jingwan chatted from time to time, and Xiao Shutong listened quietly. When someone asked him a question, he also answered honestly. The meal was full of surprises and joys .

After dinner, Liang Haoyang made a fuss about going to play, but Zhang Jingwan took the children to see it anyway. Everyone else was off work, and only supermarkets and restaurants were still open. Liang Haoyang saw that there was really nothing to play, so he had to give up.

After returning home, Zhang Jingwan just asked Xiao Shutong to sit down first, and toss toys and food for her young son, who occupied the TV and insisted on watching cartoons, Liang Zhen reluctantly called out the Internet channel to show him .

"Shutong, if you don't want to watch TV, there is a computer in the study, so you can play if you want." Liang Zhen may think that children of this age like to play games, and Xiao Shutong probably does the same.

Xiao Shutong shook his head, "Uncle, it's okay, I'll just sit for a while and go to sleep later."

"Go to bed so early." Liang Zhen was a little surprised when he heard Xiao Shutong say that, who doesn't play until two o'clock in the middle of the night, "Don't be embarrassed, just treat it as your own home." Liang Zhen thought that Xiao Shutong should I can't let go.

"No, it's just that I usually keep time on time, and when I get used to it, I will fall asleep when the time comes." What Xiao Shutong said was indeed the truth.

"That's good too. All the kids nowadays are as good as you are. This brat in my family is just playing around all day, being naughty!" Liang Zhen said, snoring Liang Haoyang's head with his hands, Liang Haoyang shook his head indifferently and moved away from his father's hand .

"How old is he? He's still young, just when he likes to play." Xiao Shutong replied politely.

Liang Zhen's smile widened, "Yeah, I'm still young, so I don't want to be so strict."

Zhang Jingwan came out with fruit, "What are you talking about? So happy." Seeing Liang Zhen and Xiao Shutong chatting happily, Zhang Jingwan put down the fruit plate and gave the sliced ​​dragon fruit to her son, "Haoyang, eat some Son."

Liang Haoyang stuttered, and followed the TV gestures with fists and feet, watching happily.

Zhang Jingwan smiled helplessly, "This child." Turning to look at Xiao Shutong, "Shutong, eat fruit, take whichever you like."

Xiao Shutong just nodded, and pricked a small piece of apple with a toothpick.

Liang Zhen and Zhang Jingwan talked about where they were going to visit the New Year tomorrow, and the things they asked her to prepare. Zhang Jingwan said that they were ready, and Liang Zhen pulled his son and told the little guy to go to someone else's house tomorrow to be good and not to mess around.

Liang Zhen thought for a while and then said, "If you don't send him to his grandparents tomorrow, it's very important to have a family visit, don't let this kid mess around in other people's homes, it won't affect him well."

Zhang Jingwan felt helpless looking at her son, "Hey, children of this age are like this, so let's send it to their parents." Because after thinking about it, if the child makes a fuss, I can't control it. Listening to her husband's tone is the most important thing to visit. The family had no choice but to agree to send it over.

Zhang Jingwan thought of Xiao Shutong again, "Shutong, tomorrow we will go out to pay New Year's greetings, and Haoyang will send it to his grandparents, do you want to play with him for a day, and we will pick you up in the evening."

Xiao Shutong quickly shook his head, "No need, I'll go there tomorrow."

Zhang Jingwan paused again when Xiao Shutong mentioned that, "Okay, we're all busy during the New Year, and you can come over to play after the New Year's greetings are over."

Xiao Shutong didn't refuse right now, but just nodded, "Mom, I want to go to bed first."

Zhang Jingwan was surprised, "It's still early? Just slept?"

Xiao Shutong nodded, "Well, I'm used to it, I want to rest."

Zhang Jingwan could only agree, "Okay, I'll take you to the guest room." Xiao Shutong stood up and said to Liang Zhen, "Uncle, I'm going to rest."

"Okay, have a good rest." Liang Zhen couldn't care too much about Xiao Shutong, and it would be great if he could get along peacefully.

Xiao Shutong washed up and lay down on the bed, only to find the reminder of the flashing light of the mobile phone.

A WeChat message from Cheng Shanyao posted lively photos of them going out to play during the holidays abroad, and there was a message, "Shutong, happy new year, I miss you so much, do you miss me?"

Xiao Shutong replied with a smile, "I miss you too, Happy New Year, send my greetings to your parents, I wish your whole family good health and all the best."

There is also a message, "Shutong, happy new year, I hope you will be happy every day in the new year." The WeChat message from Ling Shuofang is just a simple sentence, but Xiao Shutong feels very heartwarming.

Xiao Shutong looked at WeChat and smiled, "You too, Happy New Year. I wish you and your family happiness, good health and all the best."

They probably didn't have the time to reply right now, Xiao Shutong hugged the phone and fell asleep with a smile on his lips.

Woke up very early the next day, Liang Zhen and the others also woke up quite early, Zhang Jingwan was already cleaning up Liang Haoyang, Xiao Shutong just said hello when he got up, there was no way to control it, five-year-old children are very naughty when dressing and eating, TV sets, toys The car always attracts their attention, so it is very hard for Zhang Jingwan to take care of the children.

Xiao Shutong felt very uncomfortable looking at this scene. He remembered that when he was five years old, he would do simple things by himself. Grandma would spoil him, but she would not help him do everything well. Although Xiao Shutong felt uncomfortable, I just envy this maternal love, and I don't think that he will be happy if grandma does everything for him, and I don't want to develop the appearance that I don't need to do anything.

They all packed up and went out together. Liang Zhenben said to send Xiao Shutong off, but Xiao Shutong himself refused. He didn't want to go there directly, so he could only politely refuse and let them go to work first.

Liang Zhen thought about it and agreed, Zhang Jingwan again asked Xiao Shutong to come and play in a few days, Xiao Shutong nodded and agreed, only to talk about it when the time comes.

After they drove away, Xiao Shutong slowly found the open supermarket, bought some gifts, and then walked towards his father with the things.
