Chapter 358 A Happy Family
Chapter 358 A Happy Family
From that day on, everyone in the family became extremely cautious.
Especially when they go out, one by one, they are like the underground workers of the past.
I always have to look around before opening the door to make sure it is safe before I dare to go out.
Xia Songlan was even forbidden from going out.
She recovered quickly and was able to move around freely that day.
Grandpa was worried and asked carefully: "Do you have symptoms such as dizziness and nausea?"
Xia Songlan answered seriously, "I don't have any of these symptoms. I also feel relaxed and have endless energy."
Everyone was relieved.
It’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye.
Even Xia Chuanbai, who had been busy in the laboratory, finally came back.
During this period, his experiment entered a critical stage. Previously, the search for Indigofera asiatica had affected the progress of the experiment.
So after Xia Songlan was brought back, Xia Chuanbai devoted himself to the experiment and did not return until New Year's Eve.
In fact, if I hadn’t received a series of life-threatening calls from Zhou Sanning, I would have probably forgotten about the New Year.
Ning Tianya turned into a little spy and told Xia Chuanbai everything that had happened at home during this period in vivid detail.
Especially when talking about Ouyang Jiu, they were dancing and gesticulating, which was very interesting and more exciting than watching a live broadcast.
Xia Chuanbai's eyes widened in shock, "No way, Ouyang Jiu looks like a humble gentleman, how could he do such a thing?
Is your mom okay?"
Ning Ziqing nodded and said, "We have been staying by our mother's side all this time.
Don't worry, uncle. We will protect mom and won't let anyone bully her."
"Hey, good job," Xia Chuanbai put his arm around Ning Ziqing's shoulders, "You are worthy of being my nephew. Your uncle loves you well."
As he said this, he took out the red envelope he had prepared in advance from his pocket and said, "Here, this was originally the New Year's money, but now I'll give it to you as pocket money.
Tomorrow, your uncle will give you a big red envelope as New Year's money."
The two children didn't hesitate and put all of them in their pockets.
Xia Songlan saw everything from the door.
He walked in with a smile, "You, be careful that these two little rascals will drain your wallet."
Xia Chuanbai shook his head indifferently, "I'm a bachelor, and the money I earn is spent on these two little guys, right?"
As luck would have it, Zhou Shangning just stepped into the door and happened to hear Xia Sumu's words.
His eyes widened immediately, and he rolled up his sleeves and came over to beat Xia Sumu, "You think it's glorious to be single.
You are almost 30 and you don’t even have a wife. Bah, I look down on you.”
The mother and daughter were like a cat catching a mouse, one was anxious to hide, the other was panicking to catch it.
They started running in circles around Xia Song and her two daughters, Lan and Xia Song.
Soon, grandma's attention was also attracted. She stood at the door, watching the excitement with a smile.
Xia Sumu walked out of the kitchen and deliberately tripped Xia Chuanbai by stretching out his foot to trip him as he passed by.
Fortunately, Xia Chuanbai was keeping his eyes and ears open.
Even Zhou Sangning, who was hiding behind, saw his father's outstretched foot, jumped into the air and dodged.
Xia Sumu rolled his eyes in anger, "You kid don't play by the rules, so what if you fall down?
What's wrong with letting your mother catch you and spank you a couple of times?
You still want to escape? I'll catch you and give you a good beating."
As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and joined in the arrest operation.
Xia Chuanbai is very self-aware and knows that if he continues like this, he will not be able to escape the beating today.
But he didn't want to get hit easily, so he hurried to the door and hid behind his grandmother.
Zhou Sangning raised her fist and was about to hit him, but when she saw her grandmother glaring at her, she was afraid of the consequences and pulled her hand back.
He muttered, "Mom, please get out of the way. This kid won't become anything unless he's beaten."
Grandma crossed her arms and said, “How can you hit a child during the New Year?
Have I ever hit you? Who did you learn this bad habit from? "
After saying that, he glared at Xia Sumu who was following closely behind Zhou Sangning, "Humph! It's all because of you, Xia kid, who kidnapped my daughter.
Now they have learned how to hit people."
Xia Sumu felt very aggrieved and looked around and said something else, "Oh, I still have meat stewing on the fire!
Hmm, is it blurry?
No, no! "
He added enough drama to himself, moving his legs extremely fast and sneaking into the kitchen in a flash.
Zhou Sangning was so angry when he saw Xia Sumu abandoning him that his forehead was full of black lines.
He spat heavily at the kitchen door, "Traitor!"
Of course Xia Sumu heard it inside, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb and dared not say anything.
Grandma snorted heavily, "Hmph! That's called knowing the times. It's foolish of you to still stand here.
If it was during the war, you would have been shot by the bad guys a long time ago."
Zhou Sangning smacked his lips speechlessly, "Mom, it's been a peaceful era for a long time, why are you still shooting?"
"You can beat children during the New Year in peacetime." Grandma glared at her.
Xia Chuanbai poked his head out from behind his grandmother, raising his eyebrows proudly, "Yes, grandma is right, we can't hit children during the New Year."
Zhou Sangning was furious and glared, "I haven't seen a child who is almost 30 years old."
Xia Sumu glanced at Xia Songlan mischievously and said, "My sister is already over 30, and you were coaxing her like a little baby just a few days ago.
Oh, my dear girl, oh, my good baby.
My teeth are about to fall out after listening to this.
After all, I am three years younger than my sister. Can't you treat me as a child too?
Also coax me and call me a good boy or a good baby. "
He twisted his body exaggeratedly and started to act coquettishly.
This actually made Zhou Sangning and her grandmother laugh.
Xia Songlan couldn't help laughing as she watched from the side.
Grandpa, who had just finished his work, walked in from outside. "Oh, it's so lively. What are the whole family enjoying?"
Grandma was almost laughing at Xia Chuanbai's joke.
She raised her hand and wiped it, then said to her grandfather: "He is still your good grandson. He is so big, but he still acts like a little girl."
Xia Chuanbai lived with his parents since he was a child, and later lived with his grandmother. In fact, he did not spend much time with his grandfather.
Not as close as Xia Songlan and grandpa.
He stood up straight, somewhat embarrassed, "Hehehe..."
Just smiling foolishly at grandpa.
Grandpa raised his hand and rubbed his big head, "It's good to be able to act like a spoiled child, it proves that we are still children.
When you are a child, you can’t be too honest. It’s better to learn how to act like a spoiled child.
Isn't it said that only crying children get candy? "
"Just spoil him, Dad. He's almost 30, but he's still a child~~"
Zhou Sangning gets upset whenever he sees Xia Chuanbai.
But it was Xia Chuanbai's return, coupled with this commotion, that suddenly dissipated the heavy atmosphere in the house, and there was finally a joyful atmosphere for the New Year.
In the evening, the whole family gathered together to have the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Grandma Liu, who hadn't been here for a long time, also came with Chen Qingqing and Chen Qingqing's daughter.
During this period, Xia Songlan's situation was special, so my grandfather's courtyard was closed and no outsiders were received.
Apart from Ouyang Jiu who came from time to time relying on his status as a savior, even Grandma Liu and the others were not allowed to visit Xia Songlan.
