Bibi Dong hugged her tighter, Liu Xiulan stood aside and smiled.
Qian Xunji stood at the door, looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other, with the corners of her mouth raised.
"Okay, okay," he walked in with the cake, "Come and sit first, standing is so tiring."
Bibi Dong then let go of his hand, holding Qian Renxue's little face and looking at it again and again.
I have grown taller, my eyebrows have opened wider, and I look more like myself.
"Xiao Xue has grown up."
Qian Renxue nodded seriously.
"Well, Xiao Xue has grown up. He can ride a bicycle and help grandma buy groceries."
Bibi Dong was amused by her little adult appearance and kissed her on the forehead.
"Sorry for not being with you for so long."
"I don't blame mom, because I know she is working hard to become stronger."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong felt even more guilty.
In the living room, the oil paper package was opened, revealing a cake with fruit inside.
Qian Renxue was extremely curious, "What is this...?"
She had never seen anything like this.
Qian Xunji Put the cake on the table.
"This is called cake, daddy made it."
Bibi Dong added, "We did it together."
Qian Renxue circled around the table.
"Looks delicious."
"Daddy will cut it for you."
After saying that, Qian Xunji cut a piece and handed it to her. Qian Renxue held it in both hands and took a small bite.
The sweetness of the cream, the softness of the cake, and the sourness of the fruit melt in your mouth.
Her little face was full of surprise and she took another big bite.
Bibi Dong looked at her appearance and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Qian Renxue swallowed the cake in his mouth, scooped up a piece of blueberry with a spoon, stood on tiptoes and handed it to Bibi Dong's mouth.
"Mom eats it too."
Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and ate the blueberry.
Sweet and sour.
Qian Renxue took another piece and was about to put it into his mouth when he suddenly felt a gaze falling on him.
She turned her head and saw Qian Xunji looking at her eagerly, with "What about me" written in her eyes.
Qian Ren handed the cake on the spoon to his mouth.
"Daddy eats it too."
"My daughter still loves me."
Bibi Dong After eating a few bites of cake, he saw that there were two people missing from the house.
"By the way, where are Xiao Xi and Ling Yuan? Why haven't you seen them?"
Liu Xiulan sat down aside with a smile on his face.
"Ling Yuan is pregnant, and Xiao Xi went back to the village to rest."
"Pregnant?"
"Well, I live in the village now."
"That's great."
She looked down at Qian Renxue in her arms, "Xiao Xue is going to have a younger brother and sister."
Qian Renxue was holding a cake and chewing it, and raised his head after hearing the words.
"I'm going to have younger siblings."
"Well," Bibi Dong wiped off the cream on the tip of her nose with her fingers, "Ling Yuan Auntie has a baby in her belly."
"I know, from now on I will be my sister and I will beat him (her) if he doesn't obey."
Hearing this, everyone in the room laughed out loud.
At the end of the cake, Qian Renxue leaned back in the chair, his belly bulging.
She looked down at her belly, touched it, and then burped.
"Are you full?"
"Well, I'm so full."
Bibi Dong looked at the sky outside the window.
"Let's go out for a walk and see how the college is being built."
Bi Dashan stood up from the chair and patted his stomach.
"I'm very full too, let's go out for a walk together."
Liu Xiulan stood up to clear the plates and forks on the table. Bibi Dong wanted to help, but she pushed her back.
"You just came back, take a rest, do you still need to do this job?"
The family simply packed up and went out.
Spirit City's night is very different from half a year ago.
Soul Tool Streetlightss were newly installed on both sides of the street. There was one every ten steps, making the whole street brighter.
Qian Renxue walked beside Bibi Dong, holding her big hand with his little hand.
Walking to a stall selling toys, Bibi Dong stopped.
There are colorful windmills hanging on the stall, made of paper, that spin when the wind blows.
Bibi Dong bent down and asked, "Do you want it?"
Qian Renxue nodded.
Bibi Dong picked up the red windmill and put it in her hand.
Qian Renxue held up the windmill and blew on it, and the windmill started spinning.
Continuing to walk forward, there is a circle of people in front, and the sound of gongs and drums can be heard from inside.
Qian Xunji lifted Qian Renxue up and put it on his neck. Qian Renxue was suddenly a lot taller. He grabbed his hair with his two small hands and looked down.
In the middle of the crowd, a juggler was breathing fire.
He took a sip of the wine, held the torch to his mouth, and blew loudly - "Hoo!" A ball of fire came out of his mouth, which was more than a foot long.
Qian Renxue's face is just plain.
These acrobatics are enough for ordinary people to see.
Qian Xunji asked, "Is Xiao Xue good-looking?"
Qian Renxue changed to a happy expression, "It looks good, uncle can breathe fire."
After shopping, the family turned onto the footpath by the river.
The river water glowed silvery white in the moonlight, and the willow trees on both sides hung down their branches.
Qian Renxue is holding the windmill, and Qian Xunji is running ahead carrying Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue grabbed Qian Xunji's hair with one hand and held the windmill in the other, giggling.
"Father, hurry up! Hurry up!"
Qian Xunji quickened his pace, almost jogging.
Qian Renxue's windmill spun as if it was about to fly, and she laughed even louder.
Bibi Dong shouted from behind, "Slow down, don't fall!"
Liu Xiulan took her hand and shook his head with a smile. "Let them play. You just came back and went for a walk with mom."
Bibi Dong looked away and took his mother's arm.
The mother and daughter walked behind. Liu Xiulan glanced at her daughter from time to time and muttered, "I have lost a lot of weight. Isn't it hard to study at Star Luo City?"
Bibi Dong responded vaguely, "It's okay."
"Look at your face. It used to be a little fleshy, but now your cheekbones are sticking out."
"And this hand -" Liu Xiulan touched the back of her hand, "It used to be soft, but now it's hard."
"Mom, I'm fine."
Bi Dashan walked next to Liu Xiulan, holding his hands behind his back, glancing at his daughter from time to time.
"It feels different."
"What's different?"
"You're calm. Although you were calm before, you were always a bit... how should I put it? The energy of the little girl is different now. It seems like you have experienced a lot of things."
"Dad, I am a mother now, so of course I have to calm down."
Bi Dashan nodded, "You have worked hard, you must make up for it these days."
Liu Xiulan answered from the side, "Are you showing off your cooking skills?"
Bi Dashan puffed up his chest. "For the sake of my daughter, of course I can cook."
Bibi Dong Looking at his father's serious look, he felt warm in his heart and held his mother's hand tightly.
The family talked and laughed and walked out of the inner city.
The changes in the outer city are even greater.
Starting from the south gate of the inner city, a wide avenue leads straight into the distance.
On both sides of the avenue, the newly planted street trees have grown green leaves, and there are neat sidewalks under the trees.
The newly built buildings on the roadside are lined up neatly, some of them are already occupied, and lights shine through the windows.
Although it is not as prosperous as the inner city, it has begun to take shape.
