On the morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the sun hung twinklingly in the sky.
Shitou stood on the sunbathing flat and shouted: Sister Erfeng, the sun has risen in the sky, come out to bask in the sun!
"Sister Erfeng is outside, how can she hear me?" Shitou raised his feet and ran straight into the house.
"Sister Erfeng, Sister Erfeng."
Erfeng looked forward and said: Shitou, why are you running in in such a panic!
Shitou put one hand on the door and said: Sister Erfeng, the sun is shining outside, you go out to bask in the sun.
Erfeng continued: I don't want to go out, I just stay here.
"Sister Erfeng, if you are pregnant, you should get more sun. It is good for your body." Shitou advised:
Xu Hongping called out: Shitou is right. Spending more time in the sun will be better for yourself and your children.
Min'er said: Sister Erfeng, let's go out for a walk.
"Mom, please hug me." Xiao Feng'er shouted:
Erfeng replied: This!
"Xiao Feng'er, come here, grandma will hold you." Xu Hongping shouted:
Xiao Feng'er replied: I don't want my grandma to hold me, I want my mother to hold me.
"Xiao Feng'er, be good! Mom's belly is so big! Auntie, can you give me a hug?" Min'er coaxed:
Xiao Feng'er said: No, no.
"Sister Erfeng, let me help you." Shitou walked up to Erfeng and called:
"I want daddy to hug me, I want daddy to hug me." Xiao Feng'er shouted:
"Xiao Feng'er, if you make trouble again, let's see if dad beats you!" Shitou stared at Xiao Feng'er with a dark face.
Xiao Feng'er was so frightened that she hid behind Min'er.
Xu Hongping picked up Xiao Feng'er and strode out.
Min'er moved her stool and quickly caught up.
Shitou held Erfeng on his arm and called: Aunt Zhou, Aunt Liu, you go out to bask in the sun together.
"We're not going, we're staying here sewing insoles." Tailor Liu looked at Tailor Zhou and responded:
Shitou said: Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhou, the insoles can be "sewed" anytime! Just the sun!
"Thank you! Thank you! We still won't go." Tailor Zhou and Tailor Liu said in unison:
Erfeng put his hands on his belly and called out: Shitou, let's go out!
Shitou smiled and said: Aunt Zhou, Aunt Liu, let's go!
Tailor Zhou and Tailor Liu then said: My mistress, my mistress, please walk slowly.
"Sister Erfeng, be careful." Min'er came over and shouted:
Erfeng responded: Min'er, what's your name! Your brother-in-law is supporting me!
"You child, you are pregnant. You must be cautious in everything and don't be careless." Xu Hongping set up a chair and said:
"Grandma, mom is pregnant, will I get pregnant?" Xiao Feng'er asked:
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Xiao Feng'er, why do you ask that?
Xiao Feng'er hesitated and said: Because, because I am pregnant, I can eat like my mother, eat delicious food.
Xu Hongping squatted down and said with a smile: When Xiao Feng'er grows up, she will be pregnant, and she will be a mother like her mother, and she will be a grandmother like her grandmother.
"The sun is not warm at all today." Erfeng sat on a chair and kept wiping his arms.
Xu Hongping responded: Of course! The snow on the mountains is still so thick.
"Sister Erfeng, I'll go in and get you a cotton coat." Shitou shouted:
Erfeng said: "No need."
"call······"
Erfeng hugged his hands tightly and called out: It's so cold!
"Sister, let me help you into the house!" Min'er said:
Erfeng responded: I'm out of town, I'll sit down for a while.
"Min'er, help Sister Erfeng into the house. I'll call you out after the sun warms up." Shitou said:
Min'er supported Erfeng and called out: "Sister Erfeng, let's go into the house."
Erfeng stood up and said, "Okay then!"
She moved her feet and walked slowly.
"Sister-in-law Erfeng, wait for me." Yuan'er hurried over.
Xu Banxian ran after Yuan'er and shouted: Yuan'er, walk slowly, walk slowly.
Shitou asked: Brother Xu, the sun came out today, why didn't you go out for a walk?
Xu Banxian explained: Now is the time for the Chinese New Year, and others want to see Feng Shui and other things! Most people would not choose this time.
"Xiao Feng'er, let's go into the house too." Xu Hongping called:
Xu Banxian shouted: "Grandma, you don't want to bask in the sun anymore."
Xu Hongping replied: No more sunshine, the sun is not warm today, I will go inside to warm myself up by the fire.
"Xiao Feng'er, come here and give me a hug." Xu Banxian teased:
Xiaofeng'er hugged Xu Hongping's thigh and responded: No.
"Brother Xu, sit with me." Shitou replied:
Xu Hongping picked up Xiao Feng'er and walked away slowly.
"Brother, let's go inside too! It's cold outside!" Xu Banxian called:
Shitou responded: What are you going in for? There is a room full of women inside...
"Brother, I'm here!" Xu Banxian continued:
"Brother, big brother."
Shitou smiled and said: "Except uncle, dad, brothers Fu, and brothers Lin, let's all sit in the room!"
Lin Fan ran forward with a bunch of firecrackers and shouted: Everyone, get out of the way.
"Papa pa pa"
"My little master, Happy New Year! Happy New Year!" Xing Dezheng congratulated:
Shitou smiled and said: Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
"Brother, this is the bitch—Ms. Kuang." Fuxing introduced:
Shitou congratulated: Happy New Year, Mrs. Fu! Happy New Year!
"Brother, this woman is so polite!" Kuang Niang said politely:
"Shitou, come in quickly! It's windy outside." Uncle Tang stood at the gate and shouted:
Shitou was stunned and said: Mrs. Fu, please! Brothers, please!
Fuxing asked: Brother, please! Brother please!
"Ping'er (Xu Hongping), go get two bottles of wine." Tang Bo shouted into the house:
Xu Hongping replied: Go get it yourself, I'll be cooking in the kitchen.
"Dad, I'll get it." Min'er walked straight to the back room.
"Ms. sir, that must be Min'er!" Kuang Niang stepped into the house and called:
Fu Xing responded: She is Miss Min'er, the daughter of Police Officer Wang - Wang Jiamin.
Shitou shouted: Brothers, everyone, sit down, everyone, sit down.
Kuang Niang sat on the stool and asked: Brother, where is my wife?
Shitou replied: She was probably staying inside.
"You and I will go in to find her in a moment." Min'er came over carrying two bottles of wine.
Lucky Star congratulated: Miss Miner, happy New Year! Happy New Year!
Miner responded: Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
"Brother Fu, who is this?" Min'er pointed at Kueng Niang and asked:
"She is Brother Fu's wife." Shitou poured the wine and said:
Min'er smiled and said: Madam Sister-in-law, let's go see Sister Erfeng.
Shitou shouted: Min'er, it's time to drink. Let Mrs. Fu have a bowl of wine before going.
"Brother, I won't drink anymore. Let's go now." Kuang Niang responded:
Min'er dragged Kuang Niang forward and said, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, come with me."
Shitou shouted: Dad, except for the uncle, all brothers, everyone is drinking.
Lin Fan said: Brother, we brothers haven’t been together for so long, so we have to have a big drink today.
"My drinking capacity is so bad, I can't accompany you to drink more." Shitou continued:
"Third brother, after I drink this glass of wine, I still want to eat!" Fuxing said:
Lin Fan wiped his mouth and replied: You can eat as well as drink.
Fuxing replied: The problem is, my belly can’t hold it.
"Madam, why didn't your sister-in-law come?" Min'er asked:
Kuang Niang replied: She! She helps me look after the kids at home.
"No wonder! She didn't come with Brother Fu." Min'er responded:
Kuang Niang smiled and said: Miss Min'er, you and Zimei have a good time, don't you?
"Hurry in, that's Shitou's wife, my Erfeng sister." Min'er said:
Kuang Niang walked into the outside room and said in surprise: Wow! The sister-in-law is indeed different, she looks like a fairy, and even pregnancy cannot hide her beauty.
Erfeng turned sideways and said with a smile: Min'er, she is!
Min'er continued: She is Brother Fu's wife.
"Sister-in-law, my name is Kuang Niang."
Erfeng congratulated her: Happy New Year, Mrs. Kuang! Happy New Year!
Kuang Niang smiled and said: All good! all good!
Erfeng called out: "Mother Kuang, there is a stool over there. You can sit on it."
"Sister Fu, you and Sister Erfeng sit here, and I'll go into the kitchen to help." Min'er called:
Kuang Niang said: Miss Miner, you can go ahead.
Kuang Niang glanced at Tailor Zhou and Tailor Liu and asked: Sister-in-law, what do you call them?
Erfeng said: The two of them are tailors hired by my family.
To be precise, it was the tailor hired by Officer Wang.
Kuang Niang said in confusion: What is going on!
"It's a long story. I'll tell you more in detail later." Erfeng continued:
"Hello, Mrs. Fu! Hello, Mrs. Fu!" Tailor Zhou and Tailor Liu asked:
Kuang Niang said politely: Hello, you two.
"Mom, Brother Fu's wife is here." Min'er shouted:
Xu Hongping replied: Really!
Did she bring her children?
Min'er responded: "I didn't bring it with me. She asked her sister to watch it at home!"
"Is her sister Miss Fuzi?" Yuan'er called:
Miner replied: Yes.
Yuan'er asked: Is she in her hometown?
"It should be. In a few days, the children will start school." Min'er continued:
Xu Hongping responded: I guess so.
"Grandma, can I read?" Xiao Feng'er asked:
Min'er replied: Xiao Feng'er can read!
"After two years, I will ask your grandpa to take you to study..." Xu Hongping said:
Min'er then said: Yes! Dad is very good at reading. If you want to be like grandpa - read a lot of books, you will definitely be very successful in the future.
"Forget it! Who does Xiao Feng'er look like! She can't be like her grandpa. Her grandpa is a complete nerd. She should be as smart and capable as a stone." Xu Hongping replied:
"Grandma, has eldest brother read many books?" Yuan'er asked:
Xu Hongping said: He has not read many books.
Min'er leaned into Yuan'er's ear and whispered: My brother-in-law hasn't read any books.
Yuan'er was surprised and said: Ah!
"Shitou has never read, but he is smart. Among those who have read, there are few who are smarter than him!" Xu Hongping argued:
Yuan'er replied: This is true.
"Dad, stop pouring wine into Uncle Chu's bowl! Uncle Chu hasn't eaten yet!" Shitou shouted:
Uncle Chu replied: It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!
"Dad, you'll get drunk if you drink any more." Lin Fan said:
Uncle Tang replied: It's okay to be drunk. I have plenty of beds at home.
"Dad, you're drunk! Mom!" Shitou whispered in Uncle Tang's ear:
"Except for eldest brother, let's drink some other time. We can't drink today. My waist is sore from time to time (Uncle Tang held his abdomen)."
Uncle Zhu continued: "It's a small problem, it's a small problem, let's continue drinking."
Lin Fan shouted: Dad, we still have to hurry!
Uncle Zhu looked at everyone and called out: Brother Tang, we will stop drinking after finishing the wine in the glass. As my son-in-law, he is always talking to the side, and my ears are almost ringing.
Lin Fan smiled awkwardly.
"Brother Xing, have you seen your son during the Chinese New Year this year?" Shitou asked:
"I haven't seen it. If I go to the Hong Mansion, Mr. Hong won't let me see it." Xing Dezheng responded:
Shitou saw that Xing Dezheng was in a low mood and said: Brother Xing, please be happy during the Chinese New Year. I will accompany you to Hong Mansion another day...
"Thank you, little master! Thank you, little master!" Xing Dezheng said excitedly:
Lin Fan smiled and said: Look at you!
Xing Dezheng replied: I'm happy!
Shitou called out: "I'm happy to be happy. When you go, you must listen to my instructions."
Xing Dezheng responded: I listen, I listen.
"Brother, will you go to my house tomorrow?" Lin Fan asked:
Shitou said: I have no problem, it just depends on Brother Fu’s convenience...
"Convenient, convenient, I don't have any inconvenience." Fuxing continued:
Xu Banxian called out: Brother Lin, please invite your eldest brother.
Don’t you welcome me to go?
Lin Fan giggled and said: Welcome, welcome, everyone is welcome.
"I'll go back and tell my old lady to cook a pot of rice. If you don't finish the rice in the pot, I won't let you go." Uncle Chu shouted:
Xu Banxian said: Brother, we will stop eating from today.
Otherwise, we won't be able to finish that pot of rice tomorrow.
"I calculated that if there are 10 of us tomorrow, each of us will have to eat 3 big bowls of rice. If there are not enough people, we will have to eat 4 or 5 bowls. According to this kind of workload - it is indeed quite big." Shitou Zhua He scratched his head and replied:
"Brother, don't scare them. Tomorrow morning, everyone will go to my house together." Lin Fan shouted:
Shitou continued: I didn't scare them, your father gave us an order.
Uncle Chu smiled and said: There is nothing in my house! Full of food.
Xing Dezheng said: What should I do if I’m full?
Uncle Zhu patted his thigh and said: cold salad.
Ha ha······
