Chapter 82: The Extra Story
Su Hao and Xu Lie spent the summer vacation of the second year in Europe. One applied to the French Academy of Arts and the other applied to a prestigious British school.
It is more than two hours' drive from Britain and France. The two of them cross the English Channel once every half a month and meet each other.
During the summer vacation of the third year, the two remained in the United States for internship together. During this period, Su Hao and his senior brothers and sisters jointly held an oil painting theme exhibition at a well-known gallery in New York. Xu Lie completed a financial research project with extremely valuable undergraduate content under the guidance of the school professor.
Cold and heat go by, and two and a half years of spring and autumn are coming.
The senior winter vacation rarely coincides with China's New Year's Eve. The two returned to Beicheng for vacation together on their last holiday before graduation.
In December, the northern city is in the middle of cold winter. Fortunately, Su Hao has been used to the cold winter in recent years, and he didn't feel uncomfortable when he arrived in the northern city. It was just that the day when she and Xu Lie returned to China was on Christmas Eve, and it was still a while before the New Year. At night, they all went back to their homes and were lively. However, during the day, Su's father and mother Su were busy at the finishing work before the New Year, and she seemed a little lonely and bored by herself.
Because Su Hao had no one to accompany her during the day, Xu Lie often took her to her sister and brother-in-law's mansion and asked her to go over and "play" with the children.
Xu Qiao and Cheng Lang gave birth to a pair of twins during the summer vacation of their sophomore year. Now the two babies are just over one and a half years old.
Originally, the family arranged a nanny to take care of the children, but after Xu Lie returned to China, the two babies seemed to have a natural sense of closeness to their uncles, especially their sister, who always liked to stick to Xu Lie. Before he knew it, he had an extra responsibility to take care of the children, and sometimes he couldn't even leave.
At noon that day, Xu Lie took advantage of the nanny and aunt who coaxed the two babies to sleep, drove his brother-in-law's car and left Lishan Mansion to find Su Hao.
Su Hao actually wanted to take a nap, but as soon as he received a call from Xu Lie, he heard that he could finally walk away, so he sacrificed his hibernation time.
As soon as he got into Xu Lie's passenger seat, Su Hao yawned for his scrapped afternoon sleep and complained: "What's going on, Xu Lie, I found that you are so charming now. Why do I feel sleepy when I see you?"
Xu Lie raised his eyebrows, untied his seat belt, and pinched her chin: "Brother, I'll show you something to be so good?"
Su Hao blocked his mouth with the back of his hand and glanced at the passers-by outside the window: "You should have some face, it's bright and bright, what kind of style is it on the road!"
Xu Lie smiled and let go of her seat belt, pulled her seat belt tightly, and then tied up her seat belt again: "Where do you want to go?"
Because Xu Lie went out this time, and the two of them did not plan their itinerary in advance, Su Hao thought for a while and said, "Just eat some ice and then go and see He Cancan."
Su Hao is a person who insists on "eating ice in winter to enjoy it". Xu Lie is used to her diet style. Anyway, she has a good stomach, so she followed her and opened it to her favorite dessert shop.
"If you sleep, take a nap." Xu Lie started the car and looked at her.
"No, I have to look at the car," Su Hao stared at the road conditions with a sense of mission. "How long has it been since you drove in China? Don't even recognize the road signs."
In the past two years, Xu Lie has taken the time he returned to China every winter vacation to get a domestic driver's license. Although both China and the United States are driving with left-handed rudders and feel similar, there are still differences in traffic regulations on the road.
"I have practiced driving in the suburbs, and I don't dare to carry you if I'm not skilled." Xu Lie turned the steering wheel in an orderly manner.
"Then let Sister Su check your driving skills."
Xu Lie knew that Su Hao was actually afraid that after he fell asleep, he would feel sleepy when he drove alone. Although it was unnecessary, he still smiled and nodded: "That's to worry Sister Su."
*
Su Hao’s worries are of course redundant.
In fact, Xu Lie has good driving skills, which is the kind of person who is not showing off his skills, has a gentlemanly character, and is not ink-like and very stable. When she was upgraded from a temporary driver's license to a formal driver's license in the United States, Su Hao's car was withdrawn. The two of them left only one long-term rental car. Xu Lie almost picked her up and dropped her off without any obstacles when traveling, but her driving skills have deteriorated a lot.
The two went to the dessert shop to eat ice. The second half of the meal, the nanny at home called Xu Lie and said that Cancan was awake and could not find him everywhere, so he asked where he was.
Xu Lie scratched his eyebrows and said to the other end of the phone: "I'm back soon. Tell her, I'll take my aunt over to play with her."
When Xu Lie hung up the phone, Su Hao held up his cheek and looked at him: "It seems that our uncle Xu is still very attractive in the baby's place."
Xu Lie smiled and shook his head: "It's better to have less charm."
Su Hao wrinkled his nose and sighed: "I finally understand why my sister used to say not to have children too early and enjoy life first. This is just a niece. If she is really a biological child, it would be okay to get entangled."
Xu Lie nodded thoughtfully: "I understand what my aunt means."
"I just sighed casually, but I didn't apply it. Why do you have so much thought?" Su Hao looked at him, tapped his spoon with a spoon, and lifted his hair, "Eat quickly, my aunt is going to use her baby skills."
*
When we arrived at Lishan Mansion, Xu Lie and Su Hao took the elevator upstairs from the garage together. As soon as we left the elevator, we saw our niece moving a small stool at the entrance of the elevator, expressing the word "sitting and waiting" vividly.
As soon as he saw Xu Lie, Xiao Cheng Can immediately struggled to get up in surprise, stumbled forward with his short legs, opened his arms towards Xu Lie, raised his head and said in a slight voice: "Jiujiu, hug!"
Xu Lie picked her up straight, allowing her to meet Su Hao, pointed at Su Hao and asked her: "Who is this?"
Xiao Chengcan looked at Su Hao, tilted his head and thought hard: "...chi...chi...chi...chi!"
Su Hao gently scraped the tip of her nose with her index finger and pretended to be angry: "I still can't scream when I see me a few times. I will still do this next time, and my aunt will be unhappy!"
Xiao Chengcan hugged Xu Lie's neck and leaned against him with grievance: "Jiu, fierce!"
Su Hao was angry and laughed: "The little girl is really ignorant. She looks fierce like your aunt, but she is actually very kind. Now she is holding your uncle with a bad heart and a bad stomach. When you are disobedient in the future, you will be unable to find you. When you grow up, you will know that you will be rejected and turned to the light! But it was too late at that time, and I have a temper for your aunt!"
Facts proved that Su Hao's prediction was correct. When he grew up, Cheng Can really changed from loving his father and uncle to being afraid of his father and uncle. He always asked his mother and aunt for help if he had something to do. But now, Xiao Cheng Can still doesn't understand Su Hao's golden and jade-like words, so he kept hugging Xu Lie and refused to let go.
Xu Lie rubbed her soft and sparse hair and said with a smile: "Auntie is not fierce." After rubbing Xiao Cheng Can, he rubbed Su Hao's hair flat with another bowl of water, "Auntie is very cute."
Su Hao snorted: "I'm going to find you, it's better to understand my aunt. Where have we been?"
The nanny smiled and greeted him with a fruit plate: "Before I woke up, Miss Su, let's eat some fruit first."
"Oh, Aunt Zhou, don't call me Miss, just call me OK." Su Hao took the initiative to take the fruit plate and forked an apple with a label and fed it to Xu Lie's mouth.
Xu Lie opened his mouth and took it, hugged his niece and walked towards the sofa in the living room.
Xiao Cheng Can saw him chewing the apple, and looked envious, pointing to his mouth: "Cancan, want it!"
"Cancan cannot eat large pieces."
As soon as Xu Lie finished speaking, Su Hao had already handed over an apple and fed it into Xiao Chengcan's mouth: "See, your uncle can only say no, but his aunt will find a way for you."
Xiao Cheng Can chewed the apples with satisfaction.
Xu Lie put her on the sofa and bent over and asked her: "Auntie is good to you?"
"Okay!" She curled her eyes at Su Hao, smiled sweetly, and her cheeks were faintly visible.
Su Hao's heart trembled, and his beautiful baby who was joking was really invincible all over the world.
She once thought she should be a very irritable person and would be as impatient as she treats little kids, but the two cute babies of the Cheng family, Yuxue, are so beautiful - of course, it's not that her cousin is not good-looking, but that she has a beautiful face and a smart head, and speaks better than other children of the same age, which would be amazing.
No matter how troublesome it is, it can't make people angry.
"Auntie is so good," Su Hao turned her cheek and approached her mouth, "Do you want to have a sip?"
Xiao Cheng Can came up and squirted on her face: "Jiu, Xiangxiang!" After kissing Su Hao, she turned to kiss Xu Lie again, and squirted on his cheek, "Jiu, Xiangxiang!"
Then, like treating parents, he skillfully stretched out his white and tender little hands, pressed Su Hao and Xu Lie's heads with one hand, and made them kiss them mouth to mouth: "Jiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiujiu
The two of them were kissed by the head and were surprised where she learned this trick. A sound of footsteps interrupted the three of them’s Xiangxiang scene: “Here you come!”
Su Hao stood up straight.
Xiao Cheng rushed forward quickly and hugged her legs: "Cheer!"
Su Hao finally felt a little charming and accomplished. He squatted down and also fed him an apple: "Do you eat apples?"
Unexpectedly, he shook his head: ", I want to play!"
Xiao Cheng Can also come over: "Cancan also play! Play... Play..."
Seeing that she couldn't report her name, Aunt Zhou brought in her new favorite toys and a set of children's building blocks, and smiled and said to the two: "Last night, the husband and wife accompanied the brothers and sisters to play with building blocks, and they both became addicted."
Su Hao took the building blocks, sat cross-legged on the side of the coffee table, and greeted the two of them: "Come on, uncle and aunt play with you."
*
Su Hao and Xu Lie played with the brother and sister for an afternoon of building blocks. One was with him and the other was with him. They competed with him on both sides.
Su Hao heard that a child of this age was about to enter the first rebellious period in his life. Not only did he sing an opposite tune with his parents, but he had brothers and sisters at home to fight and compete for toys. But he didn't know whether it was because of the two babies' personalities or the relationship between parents' education. When the two were about to fight and make trouble, Cancan cried, although he was angry, he would still throw the building blocks she wanted to give her.
Su Hao felt that when Xiao Cheng grew up, he should be a girl who could not escape.
The two babies had a lot of fun with their uncle and aunt until the elevator door was moved away with a "ding" sound, and Cheng Lang and Xu Qiao came back from get off work, and they didn't hear the movement at all.
Su Hao and Xu Lie turned around and were about to say hello to Cheng Lang and Xu Qiao, suddenly they saw Cheng Lang making a "shhh" gesture, and said "You guys play" with their mouth shape, then pointed at Xu Qiao.
Only then did the two realize that Xu Qiao had a gloomy face and didn't know what was angry.
Cheng Lang hugged Xu Qiao, quietly bypassed the two babies, and went upstairs to coax his wife first.
Xu Lie and Su Hao were not surprised and continued to play with the building blocks with the brother and sister. After a quarter of an hour, they heard the laughter of Xu Qiao cursing Cheng Lang coming from the building, and knew that this was a coaxing.
Xu Qiao probably took off his makeup upstairs. Cheng Lang went downstairs to see the two babies first, but found that the booing gesture just now was completely unnecessary, because even though he had already walked to his son and daughter, they didn't notice his approach at all, and they were still holding the building blocks and giggling with Xu Lie and Su Hao.
"Dad is back." Cheng Lang bent down.
The two babies were interrupted to build blocks, turned to look at him, and shouted in unison: "Damn!"
Cheng Lang was about to reach out and touch the heads of the two of them. Before he could say "benevolence", they turned their heads very unanimously and grabbed Xu Lie and Su Hao's arms and acted coquettishly.
While Su Hao and Xu Lie helped them build blocks, they slowly lifted their eyelids and looked at Cheng Lang.
Cheng Lang showed a graceful smile and nodded to them.
