4111 I'm a big girl now.
With Yue tingfeng's departure, the initially lively atmosphere in the house fell silent again.
This New Year had not been a good one.
You Yi rubbed qingsi's head. He was starting to regret his decision. It was best if he did not participate in this winter training camp anymore.
It was better to change it to summer. Although summer was more torturous, it was not a holiday, not a traditional reunion Festival. The family would not feel that it was a big deal to be missing someone on this special day.
When they got home, they closed the door and spent the new year together. They could not be unhappy just because Yue tingfeng was not around.
Moreover, it wasn't like they had been separated for too long. It was just that the heavens didn't see them.
Xia Anlan came back in a hurry this time. He and su ningmei did not prepare any gifts. It was not that they were too busy to think of anything, but at this time, they could not do anything that would let others catch wind of them. There were too many eyes on them.
Su ningmei couldn't even take anything from her older brothers. The moment she did, it would be considered a bribe.
They did not care about anything at all. They only wished that they could throw a few more basins of dirty water on Xia Anlan.
Xia Anlan felt very guilty that he did not bring a gift with him this time.
He beckoned for qingsi to come over, picked her up, and let her sit on his lap.
Qingsi twisted her body."Uncle," she said,"I'm a big girl now."
Her brother had even taught her before that she was a big girl and should pay attention to the differences between men and women and not get too close to other boys.
This sentence instantly eased the somewhat gloomy atmosphere in the house. Xia Anlan touched the top of her hair and said,""That's right, our qingsi is a big girl now,"
"Qingsi, I didn't bring you a gift this time. I'll make it up to you next time, okay?"
Qingsi shook her head."It's okay, uncle. I'm a big girl now. You can't always think about gifts. Besides, brother gave me a gift this year."
She raised her hand. On her wrist was the present that Yue tingfeng had given her earlier. It was a string of beads made from a red stone. The workmanship was rough, and the sizes were all different.
Qingsi really liked this gift.
Su ningmei and Xia Anlan looked at each other. This child was too well-behaved and sensible.
Even though it was a rare occasion for her to be back, she could not even spend two days with her son. Despite her heartache and longing, su ningmei felt that you Yi's actions were right.
Not only did he consider that the child was older, but the boy also needed to gain some experience.
Also, Xia Anlan's case might spread too far. It was better to send him away in advance.
It would be fine if the matter was resolved smoothly, but if it wasn 't, he would have to take shelter somewhere.
Su ningmei sighed. In the end, they were still a family, and they would still consider their own children.
The old lady asked Xia Anlan,"Anlan, you're so busy with work. How long can you stay at home this time? when do you plan to leave?"
Xia Anlan and su ningmei looked at each other and did not dare to say anything.
The two of them were leaving the day after tomorrow. This was the time Xia Anlan was trying to buy.
"Dad, mom," Xia Anlan said softly,"we're ... Leaving in two days. This time, we can't stay at home for too long."
"The day after tomorrow? so you can only stay at home for two days?"
Master Xia could not help but ask,""I've always wanted to ask you, did you run into any trouble at work?"
