Green tea with green plum

As the saying goes, a child with a mother is like a treasure, and Ji Yaoyao has really experienced it in the past few days after returning home.

In the morning, there is white fungus and red date porridge cooked by my mother. For lunch, there is hot chicken stewed with mushrooms. In the evening, there is whole wheat bread baked by my mother and homemade sugar-free yogurt. I have never stopped snacking on dried fruits from morning to night.

Compared with eating the last meal outside and not knowing what to eat next, Ji Yaoyao is as happy as falling into a honeypot these days. Every day when she wakes up, she feels that her originally sharp chin is a bit rounder than yesterday.

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.

Ji Mingyu's family is coming to have dinner tonight, and Zhang Yulan is so busy that she can't keep her feet on the ground. Ji Yaoyao, who was originally leisurely, couldn't escape her yelling: "Yaoyao, don't just watch TV, come and help mom wash the dishes .”

When Ji Yaoyao saw the wonderful place, she was reluctant to move her nest.

It wasn't until Zhang Yulan's voice became louder that she reluctantly put down the remote control and walked into the kitchen.

Ji Yaoyao has never done such a thing as washing vegetables, and she muttered sullenly: "Didn't they all have aunts in previous years? Why do they have to do it by themselves this year?"

"Auntie and not auntie." Zhang Yulan said, "The last time there was a problem with the funds, your father and I didn't have more than a penny in the account, so we simply resigned. Besides, Haoran will go to elementary school in the second half of the year. It costs a lot of money to hire tutors and take interest classes, and your sister-in-law is planning to send him to learn equestrianism..."

Ji Haoran is Ji Mingyu's only son, that is, Ji Yaoyao's own nephew.

However, Ji Yaoyao has been away all year round, and she has no affection for this little nephew. In the past, she would give Ji Mingyu a big red envelope for the sake of her relatives, but now, after hearing what her mother said, Ji Yaoyao just curled her lips: "This Shouldn't the money go to his father? Ji Mingyu lost the money, let alone learning equestrianism, his son has no problem flying a plane."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, just as Ji Yaoyao finished speaking, the doorbell rang, and the little guy's cheerful voice came out from the intercom: "Grandma, Dad and I are here to see you."

Hearing her little grandson's voice, Zhang Yulan was overjoyed and wiped her hands with a rag.

Before going out to greet her, she told Ji Yaoyao: "Don't think too much, your brother is more obedient now, when they come in later, don't put on such a face."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yulan walked out of the kitchen to open the door. The smile on her face was brighter than the fireworks outside the window: "Haohao, why did you come here? Grandma misses you so much."

Before Ji Haoran could answer, Ji Mingyu spoke first: "There's a traffic jam on the road, I'm sorry Mom, we're late."

As he said that, he put the gift box in his hand on the porch, seemingly inadvertently asked: "By the way, where is Yaoyao?"

"I'm busy in the kitchen." Zhang Yulan looked behind him, but she didn't see the third person, and she couldn't help but wonder why her daughter-in-law didn't come.

But it's the New Year's Eve, and the daughter-in-law doesn't come to the house, what else could be the reason, most likely the husband and wife quarreled, Zhang Yulan couldn't ask why.

Ji Yaoyao, who walked out of the kitchen, also saw the trick, it wasn't that she was so sophisticated about people, it was just that the scratches on Ji Mingyu's neck were too conspicuous, so fierce, it looked like she was scratched when she was arguing with a woman.

But she can't take care of other people's housework, for the sake of her parents, Ji Yaoyao politely greeted her: "Brother."

"Yaoyao is back." Ji Mingyu straightened his back in an instant, putting on his elder brother's airs, "I've been too busy with things these days, so I can't invite you to dinner, so don't take it to heart, wait until it's over This year, we brothers and sisters, let’s have a good get together.”

He spoke with sincerity, after all, they were brother and sister, Ji Yaoyao saw the image of Ji Mingyu riding a bicycle to the Children's Palace when she was a child.

In a blink of an eye, the elder brother who is much taller than me in memory has passed his thirties, and he has not escaped the fat and fat of the middle-aged man, his shoulders and back are slightly hunched, and he looks inexplicably pitiful.

After all, Ji Yaoyao nodded, and the awkwardness that had been in her heart for a long time disappeared.

At the end of the year, when the businessmen settled all kinds of payments and paid wages to workers, Father Ji, who was the head of the family, was busy outside and didn't come back for dinner.

But three adults, and a five-year-old Xiao Haohao who made jokes, had a lively meal.

After dinner, Ji Yaoyao was helping to wash the dishes, and Ji Haoran came over with the Ultraman model in his hand: "Little aunt, shall we go out to set off fireworks?"

Although there is a ban on burning and displaying in the city, there are also scenic spots specially planned for setting off fireworks. From the window of Ji's house, you can see the grand scene on the square.

Not to mention children's hearts are itching, Ji Yaoyao is also eager to try as an adult.

Without thinking, she put down what she was doing and said, "Wait for me."

After finishing speaking, Ji Yaoyao went back to her bedroom and changed her home clothes into a long down jacket, with a small bag slung over her shoulder.

Before going out, Ji Yaoyao somehow found out the bank card in the suitcase and put it in her bag.

This year, she didn't plan to prepare a red envelope for Haohao, but the child called out to her little aunt, and Ji Yaoyao wavered again.

There were not many people on the street, but the square was crowded with people, and rows of merchants selling fireworks all had beaming smiles on their faces.

Having not let off fireworks for many years, Ji Yaoyao realized that there are so many types of fireworks now, and even the names given to fireworks are only available to customers, and no merchants can't think of them.

Anything like "Fish Swimming in Clear Water", "Hundred Birds Making Spring", "The Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers" are all considered elegant, and there are more extensive ones such as "Mouse Stealing Grapes", "Rooster Laying Eggs" and "Little Bee".

Ji Yaoyao was not short of money, took Ji Haoran to play all these fireworks, and instantly became the most eye-catching presence in the entire square.

After playing until eleven o'clock, people should leave. Ji Yaoyao passed by the ATM, took out 2000 yuan of brand new RMB, and put it into a red envelope.

She stuffed the red envelope into the small bag of Ji Haoran's clothes, and after zipping up the clothes, she instructed: "Haohao, this is a New Year's gift from my little aunt, so you must keep it safe, and don't lose it."

"Yeah." Although Ji Haoran is young, he has attended kindergarten anyway and knows that money is a good thing.

Children are different from adults, their thoughts are written all over their faces, he touched the red envelope in his pocket, held Ji Yaoyao's hand all the way while walking and jumping, chatting incoherently with his little aunt.

Ji Yaoyao didn't feel annoyed, but just thought it was very interesting, so she answered nonsense.

Walking into the community, Ji Haoran asked again: "Little aunt, is there money everywhere in Beijing?"

Ji Yaoyao couldn't help laughing: "Who did you listen to?"

"I guessed it." Ji Haoran said furtively, "Because my mother told my father today that he didn't make a fuss, unlike you, who earned a lot of money in Beijing."

Ji Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't make a sound.

Ji Haoran said again: "Mom also said, if Dad has no money, why didn't he ask you to borrow it, you are brothers and sisters..."

Speaking of this, he tilted his head again and asked Ji Yaoyao: "Little aunt, what are brothers and sisters? Are we brothers and sisters?"
