As the Spring Festival approached, the coffee shop at the corner of the street was closed for the holidays. Ding Xiang and the two new part-time students went home for the Spring Festival.
Yang Yi had planned to bring his family back to his hometown a week or two earlier. However, since Yang Huan was still filming in the Jiangnan Military Region, he couldn't leave her alone in Jiangcheng. Hence, the plan was scrapped.
Xiuqin didn't have many scenes, but the crew wouldn't adjust the schedule for Yang Huan, so the scenes would be shot one by one. She would probably have to shoot until the 28th or 29th of the lunar calendar.
Of course, Yang Yi had other considerations when he decided to wait for Yang Huan to go home later.
Little Momo was infected with rotavirus a few days ago and had diarrhea and fever. Although according to the doctor's instructions, the little guy drank some oral rehydration fluids and Mo Fei continued to feed him. His condition gradually improved, but the little guy was still very weak. Yang Yi wanted to wait until little Momo recovered a little before taking him back to his hometown.
Tong Tong needed a healthy body to cope with the long journey and the rural environment.
Early in the morning, Yang Yi got up and ran to the market to buy groceries. At the gate, the guard stopped him. "Mr. Yang, there's a letter for your family."
Yang Yi took it and saw the English address on the envelope. Yang Yi had already guessed that it was from David's family. However, when he looked at the signature, he saw that it was from Lu Weisha! He looked at the recipient again. It wasn't him, but Xi Xi!
Lu Weisha had gone to Australia for a trip. Yang Yi had heard about it from Xi Xi. However, he didn't expect that the two girls would contact each other in such an ancient way!
It was quite interesting!
Yang Yi didn't open his daughter's letter. Instead, he put it in his pocket and continued running to the market.
"Little Yang, you're here?" The aunties, uncles, brothers, and sisters who sold groceries were very familiar with Yang Yi.
It was strange for a man like Yang Yi to get up early to buy groceries. Later, they found out that he was a celebrity. Naturally, Yang Yi became a celebrity in the market.
When they saw him arrive, they all greeted him with a smile.
"Little Yang, do you want a pig tail? Today, I killed more than ten pigs and brought back their tails. You came early, so quickly pick a few and cook them for your children! " Brother Ruan, who was selling pork, also greeted Yang Yi enthusiastically. "Little kids love to eat pig's tail the most. You won't get sick of it no matter how much you eat it!"
This pork stall sold local pigs from the countryside. The pork was very fresh, the meat was tight and elastic. It was fat and white, and the meat was red and shiny. It was much more delicious than other stalls. Of course, it was also more expensive than other stalls.
Yang Yi picked up a pig's tail and looked at it with interest. It was a short length, but the skin was delicate and there was a hint of red in the white. Obviously, it tasted good when cooked.
This can be used to make soup! Yang Yi thought of a dish that tasted good.
"Big Brother Ruan, help me cut off this fat part!" Yang Yi gestured at the fat behind the pig's tail and said.
"Hey, Little Yang, how can you do business like this?" Brother Ruan chuckled.
Yang Yi ignored him and picked up three pig's tails and threw them on his scale. He smiled and said, "Same old rules. After you weigh it, you calculate the money. Then cut off what needs to be cut off. As for the cut off, you can do whatever you want with it, okay?"
Yang Yi didn't care about that little bit of money, he just wanted the valuable part.
"Okay! Little Yang, you are generous enough! " Brother Ruan gave him a big thumbs up and threw the pig's tail on the chopping board. He started cutting it for Yang Yi.
…
The bed in winter was warm and the best for sleeping in! This was not only for adults, but also for children. During the holidays, there was no need to wake up early to go to kindergarten. Xi Xi was even harder to wake up in the morning!
Yang Yi started a new round of battle!
"Xi Xi, wake up!"
Yang Yi called out softly from the bedside, but it did not have any effect. The little girl's eyes were still closed and she was sleeping soundly.
"Little lazy pig, quickly wake up. Mommy and brother are already up. Mommy woke up early to practice singing. How can you still sleep in? "
Yang Yi changed his strategy. He sat on the edge of the bed and shook Xi Xi's shoulder through the quilt.
This shaking made the half-asleep Xi Xi unable to sleep. The little girl squinted her sleepy eyes and looked at her father. Her nose made a long sound like a little pig.
Don't think that this was the prelude to her waking up!
The little girl closed her eyes for a while, then her eyelids drooped again. If her father did not wake her up, Xi Xi would definitely go back to sleep.
"Get up. Otherwise, Daddy will carry you up and wash your face with very, very cold water!" Yang Yi pinched the little girl's nose at the right time, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
"I don't want to!" Xixi was actually already somewhat awake, but she was still lazing around in bed, so she unwillingly pouted her little mouth, turned her head, and turned to the other side. She also pulled the blanket away, revealing some of her back.
She curled up like a worm, still wrapped in the quilt to cover her head. It looked as though she was unwilling to get up no matter what her father did.
Luckily, Yang Yi had a trump card today!
"Daddy told you that I received a letter from Lu Weisha today!" Yang Yi pressed down on the little girl's quilt and body. His mouth was blocked by the quilt as he spoke to the little girl who was wrapped in it.
"Ah? What did Lu Weisha send me? " Xi Xi finally could not stay in bed. Her little head popped out of the quilt, revealing a pair of big eyes that were not fully opened but were already full of energy.
"She sent you a letter!" Yang Yi smiled as he waved the letter in his hand at his daughter.
"What's a letter?" Xi Xi was a little confused. This "old thing" was too unfamiliar to the little girl.
"A letter is the same as a phone call! But it's what you want to say to someone. Write it on a piece of paper and send it through the post office. When you reach the other party's city, they will be able to see the contents and know what you want to say to them! "Yang Yi smiled." Do you want to know what Lu Weisha said to you in the letter? "
"Yes, yes!" The little girl nodded vigorously, her big eyes filled with anticipation.
"Then hurry up and get up, wash your face and brush your teeth. Then you can open it with your own hands and see what Lu Weisha wrote in it," Yang Yi said gently.
After several months of reading before bed, Xi Xi had already understood the meaning of some Chinese characters. She could even understand some English words, Xi Xi!
Of course, Xi Xi could not read by herself. Yang Yi would read the letter with her and help her read the words that she did not understand.
Xi Xi was no longer sleepy. The little girl, full of anticipation, struggled to get up, but … her father was still lying on top of her through the quilt!
"Papa, you're so heavy! I can't get up! "Xi Xi's giggles sounded in the bedroom.
