Chapter 261 The Family

Cheng Li washed the dishes, saw Cheng Ming sitting on the sofa yawning, mom has gone back to the room to take a nap, the TV sound is on very low.

Cheng Li shook the water stains from his hands and asked, “Brother, why are you still here?”

“Where else would I go if not here? Do you want to kick me out?” Cheng Ming crowed and asked.

“Of course not, I can’t wait for my brother to be by my side every day, it’s just that my brother is very abnormal today, a bit unlike you, is there something he’s hiding from me?” Cheng Li intuitively asked keenly.

Xu Juan had gone back to her new home, and it was indeed a bit strange that Cheng Ming was still there.

“I’m just waiting here for dinner to be served, it’s weirdly tiring running around two homes at a time.”

“Didn’t we just finish lunch? Brother you’ll turn into a pig sooner or later.”

“Does that mean you’re waiting for me to take a nap in you, brother? And then sneak out? You might be disappointed then, I’ve had a good night’s sleep today and I’m not sleepy at all.”

Cheng Li crossed her arms and said triumphantly that as long as she didn’t sleep with her brother, she could go to bed early and get up early.

“If I wanted to run, I would have done it already, and I would have to wait for you to finish the dishes?”

“That’s true.”

When Cheng Li was washing the dishes, he turned around within a few seconds to see if Cheng Ming was still there.

Cheng Li climbed onto the sofa, sat in Cheng Ming’s arms, grabbed the remote control in his hand, and started to change channels, first going through all the TV stations. After comparing them, they would then change to the one that was the best and the one they wanted to watch the most.

Cheng Li swayed from side to side, rubbing the top of his head against Cheng Ming’s chin and asked, “Brother, aren’t you going to play with Sister Jingyi? She doesn’t have class this afternoon, right?”

“Not today.”

“Does it mean that Sister Jingyi will come to our house to play?”

“Nor will it.”

“Why? Didn’t you all run away to a place as far away as Mingxi Village to go on a date? Even if you want to avoid me, there’s no need to go that far. Really, I’m not an outsider but a sister.”

Ah, the matter of going to the secret base is already known, most likely Rei told her.

“It can’t be that you guys broke up, right? Brother’s philandering has finally been discovered by Sister Jingyi?”

“No, don’t say anything, mom will kill me.”

It was meant to be a relationship predicated on philandering, only the philandering became more involved.

“A fight?”

“Neither.”

“Then why don’t you go to Sister Jingyi? Sister Jingyi doesn’t come to you either?”

“Because there is a lot of pressure to study in the first grade, Jing needs to catch up on her studies.”

“Oh yeah? Let’s just say that my brother is mine anyway.”

Cheng Li hugged Cheng Ming’s arm and wrapped it around herself.

He said verbally that he wasn’t sleepy at all, but he couldn’t see his sister move even when the TV went to commercial, and his little hand with the remote control hung aside.

Cheng Ming took a sideways glance and realized that the little one was sleeping soundly.

Hugging Xiao Li, a subtle feeling rose in Cheng Ming’s heart, clearly he often did this kind of thing in his new home as well.

Is it because mom is sleeping in there? You’re weak and scared?

As much as I’d like to say I’m a normal brother, I’m actually not normal inside and out.

Where exactly did it start going the wrong way again?

Cheng Ming slapped his forehead, no longer knowing where to start back.

Cheng Ming pulled the blanket over Xiao Li and watched the boring TV commercials and fell asleep himself.

I woke up with a coat over my body as well, the TV was off in the TV, the living room was a little dim, and my sister was still in my arms.

Movement came from the foyer.

Cheng Ming got up and called out, “Mom?”

“Wake up, I’m going out to get some groceries, so you and your sister can watch the house together.”

“Mom, I’ll go with you, it’s not convenient for you to be alone.”

“No, I’m not handy anywhere, don’t underestimate your mom, I’m in good health.”

“Mom, I’m concerned about you and my future siblings.”

Cheng Ming extracted his sister’s arm that was resting on her pillow and carefully walked off the couch, but the movement was too loud and still woke her up.

Cheng Li sat up rubbing his sleepy eyes and asked, “What what? Are you guys going to buy something delicious?”

“It’s to get groceries.”

“I’m coming along.”

Cheng Li jumped off the sofa, head heavy after a long sleep, her body lost its balance, Cheng Ming hastily reached out to hold her shoulders to stand still.

“You two go wash your faces before going out with me.” Li Ying said helplessly.

“Yeah.” Cheng Li shouted with her little hand raised high.

Cheng Ming and Cheng Li each supported one of Li Ying’s arms downstairs, which was naturally suggested by Cheng Li.

“You two are exaggerating.”

Lai Ying revealed a pleased smile, sparing her a bit of embarrassment at her age.

Along the way and acquaintances greeted, are praised Li Ying blessed, have two filial sons and daughters, but also pregnant again.

Lai Ying said, “Which is not.”

Listed all the deficiencies of Cheng Ming and Cheng Li.

But there was a smile on his face that he couldn’t hide.

Middle-aged women touching together, it is easy to chat on the head, forgetting the time, the more they chat the more energized, but also Cheng Li pulled Li Ying shouted: “Mom, and then do not go to the market will not be able to buy food.”

Lai Ying would just say don’t say, “Ugh, you kid, we’ll talk next time then.”

It’s not far from home to the food market, but it takes a lot of time.

Cheng Ming carried a large bag of ingredients into the kitchen and subconsciously tied on his apron.

“Mom, why don’t we prepare today’s dinner, and you just rest.”

“Can you guys really eat what you cook? Your dad is going to lose his temper if we don’t have dinner tonight.”

Cheng Ming really didn’t believe that his dad dared to lose his temper.

“Mom, do you think we eat at restaurants every day in our new home? It’s all our own cooking, and we’re not as good as we used to be.”

“That’s right, let mom see how good we are today.” Cheng Li also came to help.

“It’s still early in the day, and if what you’ve cooked is inedible, I can cook another meal; fry a plate of greens for me to try first, and don’t touch the meat, lest you spoil it.”

“Stir frying the greens now, won’t they be yellow before they get to the table?”

“Where’s the care in making it for the family, it’s not like it’s a big hotel.”

Although it’s just the simplest stir-fry of greens, it’s all about the details of how it tastes, the heat, the seasoning and when to start the pan.

After Lai Ying tasted a mouthful, she exclaimed, “You guys, it tastes good, sells well, and looks appetizing. It’s true that we should let you guys be more independent, otherwise if you stay at home every day, you won’t be able to cook, you won’t be able to wash your clothes, and I heard that some of you won’t even be able to tie your shoelaces.”

“Mom, it’s okay to praise us even more.” Cheng Li began to invite credit.

“You only help with the dishes, right?”

“Washing dishes is a big part of it too.”

Li-Ying was also relieved to leave the rest of the ingredients to the two siblings to take care of.

Although I don’t want to admit it, but this age pregnancy really can’t compare to the time when I was young, with a big belly can go down to the field to do farm work, just walking for a while is a little tired.

Xu Juan looked at Cheng Ming after taking a bite of the dish, knowing that he made it.

“Tonight’s food feels different from the usual.”

Dad’s taste buds didn’t catch the changes as clearly.

“Oh yeah? Then do you think tonight’s meal is better, or the other day’s meal?” Lai Ying asked, starting to dig a hole for Cheng Hongyuan.

Cheng Ming frantically glared at his dad, don’t answer wrongly.

“Cough cough, it’s still more delicious as usual, it’s just good to change the flavor once in a while, it’s quite fresh.” Cheng Hongyuan said without moving.

“Tonight’s meal is made by your son and daughter, both have grown up ah, before it was still so small two children, one still wet the bed, one will not even walk, really a blink of an eye.” Li Ying said with emotion.

“And you don’t look at whose sons and daughters.”

“Just because they’re my sons and daughters they’re so good, it would be awful if they were all like you.”

Cheng Ming is really afraid that they can fight for half a day in this kind of boring things, I do not know whether it is because Xu Juan is present, or Dad recently admitted that the war has ended abruptly, and eat quietly.

Cheng Ming waited for Xu Juan to finish washing the dishes and planned to leave together when Cheng Li hugged his arm and said, “Why don’t you stay and sleep, Auntie Lian will go back to bed tonight, Sister Xu Juan isn’t alone, so it’s okay if you don’t need your brother to stay with you, right?”

“But there’s no place for me to sleep here.”

Let Cheng Ming and his dad sleep in the same bed, he didn’t want to, he’d rather sleep on the floor and the sofa, that kind of experience was enough once.

“Mommy and Daddy, is it okay if I sleep with my brother?”

“How old are you all ah still sleep together, just now I even praised you guys for growing up, really not a compliment at all, you sleep with me, Xiao Ming sleeps in your room.”

“I don’t want it.”

“Then you sleep with your brother.”

“Brother is different, there’s a generation gap between his age and mom’s.”

“Disguised as saying I’m old, right? It’s fine if you don’t want to sleep in the same bed with me, there’s another newly bought bed in my room that Lian Ying sleeps in, you sleep in that bed.”

“Neither do I. I’m going to sleep with my brother.”

Cheng Li began to pamper herself, hanging onto Cheng Ming with her entire body.

“What does it matter, they used to be like that, Xiao Li didn’t sleep in her own bed, she ran to Xiao Ming’s bed, Xiao Li is so sticky to her brother, it’s also because we are busy with work, we don’t have time to take care of our children.”

Cheng Hongyuan didn’t think it mattered.

“Yeah, favorite Daddy, I’ll pound your shoulders.”

Cheng Li hammered at Cheng Hongyuan’s shoulder in a flurry of unorganized ways.

“There’s no way you’re going to toss the baby in your belly aside again after it’s born.”

Having the upper hand, Cheng Hongyuan added another cut.

“Do I need you to teach, your child or mine?”

“Say it like it’s not my child!”

“Say it like you ever cared about children.”

Ah, it turned out to be a bar.

“I’m in charge of this house, I’m declaring your father’s words null and void, you guys can sleep together if you want to, it won’t happen again, for the last time.”

“Yes, most most most favorite mom.”

Cheng Li immediately stopped and ran into Li Ying’s arms.

Cheng Ming only wanted to ask him what about his own opinion.

“Mom, the little baby in your belly seems to be moving and kicking its belly.” Cheng Li said as she lay on Lai Ying’s belly.

“Really?”

“Should be eager to come out and meet us.”

“It’s going to be another four months before that happens.”

Lai Ying tenderly rubbed her stomach and raised her head, realizing that Cheng Hongyuan was looking at her stomach, she playfully asked, “Cheng Hongyuan, don’t you want to hear about it too?”

“I don’t want to hear it, might as well watch the game.”

Cheng Hongyuan picked up the remote control and changed the channel to the sports channel, and it was playing commercials, and there was nothing on the ball, so it was a little awkward, and the fit was not very good.

“It’s not impossible to give you a listen ……”

“Oh?”

It seems to be conditional.

Seeing this, Cheng Ming hurriedly took Xiao Li’s hand and pushed Xu Juan’s back and said, “Dad and mom, Xiao Li and I will send Xu Juan back over there first, we’ll come back to bed later.”

Slipped away, not wanting to disturb the two old lovers.
