Yan Yan looked at the grandmother of the Huo family and the table beside her, then looked up at me.
The little girl is in a dilemma. I can see the problem she is facing from her big eyes. I don't want to embarrass her, so I smile to her, "go to grandma."
But my daughter still didn't let go of my hand. Instead, she tried to eat with her mother
It wasn't very loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear it.
I didn't expect that my daughter would be so "disobedient", so I looked at the rejected mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law's face was obviously embarrassed, but she soon covered it up.
"It's still my mother. When my mother comes back, my grandmother won't be popular." She teased Yan Yan with a joking tone, but I don't know why. If my parents said the same thing, I would think that the old people would say it just because they love their children too much. But from my mother-in-law's mouth, I always feel that they have ulterior motives.
It's just that adults really don't have to compete with children in such small things. Since Yanyan wants to follow me, I will take her to the dining table and sit down.
"Late," my father-in-law said. I put down my chopsticks. "I heard that my in laws are coming here today, right?"
My mother-in-law should have told him this morning, and I nodded.
"Well, we are all at home today, and the two families haven't been together for a long time." He said, looking at Huo Qingchuan“ It's OK with Qingchuan today. "
The named man put down his cup and said, "nothing's wrong."
"That's good." My father-in-law answered.
"Has the time been fixed?" My mother-in-law asked me again.
Just now, I only thought about meeting my daughter again and forgot to ask about the time. I'm a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, mom, I haven't. I'm going to call now."
"Fight after dinner." If my father-in-law speaks, I can only comply.
The atmosphere of breakfast was not as heavy as I thought. Fortunately, my father-in-law and I were talking about some topics all the time. Although they had nothing to do with me, they would not make me so embarrassed.
After dinner, I went upstairs to call my mother, confirmed the time with her, and informed my mother-in-law of the time.
"Just in time for lunch." My mother-in-law said, "I asked them to prepare an open-air family dinner in the courtyard, and then we should have a good reminiscence with our in laws."
I laughed, noncommittal.
I stay with Yanyan all morning, accompany her to walk around the manor, children will never feel tired, even under the bright sun, she is still in high spirits.
When I received my mother's phone call, we two just strolled to the side of the road leading to the house. We watched a taxi coming towards us, and then stopped in front of us.
The parents who got out of the car were indeed parents. After seeing Yan Yan, their father's face could be described as happy.
"My little face!" My father came this way with a smile.
And Yan Yan also ran to his grandfather, and the grandparents and grandsons stuck together.
The father picked Yan Yan up from the ground and happily said that Yan Yan had grown tall again. Then he scratched her on her grandson's face with Hu Zha Zi.
Yan Yan not only does not hate this kind of behavior, but "cackle" laugh, holding grandfather's neck a strong flutter.
"This person is really not serious," the mother also got out of the car, looking at the interaction between his wife and granddaughter, face full of doting, "little Yan Yan, come to grandma!" She called for her beloved little granddaughter.
Father put down Yan Yan, and then saw her daughter like a bird to her mother's arms, making a soft voice.
No wonder the parents like this little granddaughter so much. The child is very charming.
"Mom and Dad, let's go in." I have already said hello to my mother-in-law and Huo Qingchuan in advance. I believe they can cooperate with me to play this play well.
Get in the car and we'll drive in the direction of the house.
When I got off the bus, I happened to meet my mother-in-law who was busy. She warmly welcomed her and exchanged greetings with her parents.
"Father in law, father in law, mother in law, you are here at last." The mother-in-law came to welcome her, and then signaled the servant to come and help her with the things. "When people come, it's OK. Why are you so polite and bring things here?"
"It's a specialty of my hometown, so I want to bring it to my in laws for a taste." Mother said something simple and honest.
I don't know why, in front of my gorgeous mother-in-law, my mother always feels a little humble.
"Then we're really lucky," said the mother-in-law with a smile. "Take these things to the living room." She said to the servants.
"Come on, let's go in and talk." Then she called the crowd and walked into the room.
When I heard someone talking, the master and young master of the Huo family, who had been discussing company affairs in the study, came out together. Although they were not as enthusiastic as their mother-in-law, they still showed no fault.
"Mom and Dad, I haven't seen you for a long time. I've long wanted to take their mother and daughter back to have a look, but I haven't had the right time. I'm really ashamed." Huo Qingchuan changed his previous indifference and returned to what he looked like during the Spring Festival.
His performance surprised me. I didn't expect that the actor was very diligent.
"Where, where," the father said with a smile, "we all know you're busy, every relationship."
"Come, sit down." As the head of the family, my father-in-law said.
A few people gathered around the sofa in the living room, and the old people began to gossip about their family. Then they talked about my pregnancy.
Yan Yan's reaction is the most obvious, she stares at me with big eyes, "Mom, do you have a baby?"
Yeah, the only one here who doesn't know is her.
I not only had to deal with my daughter's enthusiastic questions, but also pretended to be happy. I also worried that I would not let my parents see the clue when I mentioned key topics, so I could only play a 12 point spirit.
"Yes, Yan Yan will be a sister soon." I replied with a smile, looking at my mother-in-law and Huo Qingchuan by the way.
Good. They also have a smile on their faces. There's nothing abnormal about them.
"Really... Yan Yan doesn't know much about life. At the moment, she stares at my stomach tightly and her voice is small. She seems to be worried about the little life inside.
"Of course it's true," my mother-in-law answered instead of me, "does Yan want a younger brother or younger sister?"
Encounter this kind of thing will ask so commonly, everybody focused on Yan Yan's body.
This makes Yan Yan a little embarrassed. She puts her little hand on my stomach and doesn't answer my mother-in-law's question.
"This child," the mother some could not look down, asked again for the mother-in-law, "does Yan Yan want a younger brother or younger sister?"
Yan Yan just let go, blinking big eyes, "if I want a younger sister, I have a younger sister, if I want a younger brother, I have a younger brother?"
The children's naive words made the whole family laugh, and the mother-in-law's smile was especially exaggerated, "silly child, of course not, younger brother and sister are beyond our control."
Yan Yan understood the meaning of this sentence, so she said, "I like my younger brother and sister, as long as it's a baby born by my mother."
Originally, this is an impeccable answer, for a seven-year-old girl, it can be regarded as beautiful, but it seems that her mother-in-law does not intend to let this topic go.
"Listen to this, Yan Yan only likes her mother?" The mother-in-law still used the tone that was only used to tease children, "what about dad? Doesn't Yan like her father? "
Maybe I was too sensitive to listen to my mother-in-law ask such questions and look at her.
But my mother-in-law didn't look at me on purpose. She looked at Yan Yan.
The daughter shook her head and answered firmly, "Yan Yan likes her father, too." Then she looked at the crowd and said something not in line with her age, "because the baby that mother gave birth to is not the father's?"
The speaker doesn't mean it, but some listeners do.
My smile froze on my face. When I saw Huo Qingchuan, I felt that his face was not natural.
It's just that the parents who don't know anything listen to the child's words and think it's very interesting. They want to continue teasing the little granddaughter who knows a lot.
"Yan Mingming is a little girl. How can she know so much? Did you learn it in kindergarten? " Said the mother.
Yan Yan's attitude is quite general and serious. As soon as I tried to stop her, she had already said the idea that suddenly jumped into my mind, in a very proud tone.
"No, my little uncle told me that." Her voice was clear and she could pronounce clearly. "My uncle said that one day my mother would have a baby, because my mother and father had done what only they could do, and I came out like this."
So Song Yu, why do you say these words to the little girl?!
I have some helplessness. Only my father and mother are amused by Yan Yan's words.
Song Yu's name, now in the Huo family, may be a taboo.
"Well, Yanyan," in order to avoid the atmosphere, because the child's childlike innocence became embarrassed, I quickly took her over, "waiting for the baby in the mother's stomach to be born, you can be the sister, you have to be obedient and sensible to take care of the younger brother and sister, you know?"
"I know!" Yan Yan nodded.
"Ah ha ha, well," mother-in-law first responded, "it's almost noon now, and the family dinner in the courtyard should be almost ready. Let's go."
My mother-in-law's topic changed in time. I also stood up and asked my parents to go out.
It has to be said that the life of the rich is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even for me, it was the first time that I saw the dinner arranged in the courtyard.
The milky white marble pillars form a circular area of dozens of square meters, with wooden strips on it. Next to each pillar, a Wisteria is planted. At this moment, the flowers are gone, leaving only green leaves. A gust of wind came out, and the leaves rubbed and rustled, adding a bit of sentiment to the courtyard dinner.
The thick leaves keep the sunlight above the head, and sprinkle a piece of shade in the dining area. Combined with the slow summer wind, it is a dining environment that many people dream of.
"Come on, don't mention it. Sit down." Said the mother-in-law.
They basically sat in their families. Huo Qingchuan and I were naturally on both sides of Yan Yan.
In the eyes of outsiders, what a harmonious picture it will be.
