Chapter 3129: Etiquette is light but affection is important
Children have their own way of greeting each other. Since Xiaobai set an example by hugging Xiaoliu, Xier and Robin followed suit.
Robin simply couldn't lift the little guy, but he was full of energy. After making some noises, he finally gave up and stood on his tiptoes, which gave Robin a little sense of accomplishment.
Robin laughed heartily, unable to stop.
"I told you I'd gained weight and grown taller," Robin proudly declared.
It's Dunzi's turn.
Xiao Liu and Dunzi looked into each other's eyes, and Dunzi blushed.
Xiao Bai secretly egged them on from the side: "Give us a hug!"
Robin immediately ran back, stood between the group and the young man, and looked up to watch the drama unfold. While most people watch from the sidelines, this Robin, seemingly enjoying the spectacle, personally took to the spot, squatting right in the middle of the scene – a truly excessive move.
Xi'er laughed and came to their rescue, saying, "A handshake is enough."
Dunzi breathed a sigh of relief, shook hands with Xiaoliu, and quickly parted ways.
Both of them were at an age where they were shy around the opposite sex; after all, not everyone is named Bai Chunhua and Shen Liuliu.
Zhang Tan exchanged a few pleasantries with Xiao Liu's grandfather and then urged the children to hurry up and unload the gifts from the car.
They prepared many gifts for Xiao Liu, including gifts for her and New Year's goods for her family.
At the same time, Xiaobai's group of girlfriends asked her to pass it on to Xiaoliu.
Zhang Tan opened the truck bed of the pickup truck. This Raptor pickup truck had been modified, one of the changes being the addition of a cover to the truck bed.
Robin tried to climb into the truck bed along the tires to get the gift she had bought, but Zhang Tan pulled her down.
"Stay put, I'll get it."
Zhang Tan took everything out of the truck bed and put it on the ground. Xiao Bai and the others carried it all in their arms like ants, and took it to Xiao Liu's house.
Xiao Liu said "Too much, too much" several times in a row, and then said, "You're going to stay at my house for lunch. My grandpa and I have prepared a lot of dishes."
Xiao Bai, carrying a large gift box, stepped over the threshold of the house, laughing as she walked in: "If you want us to stay for dinner, we'll eat. I can cook too. Do you want me to cook? I guarantee it will be delicious."
Robin can attest to this; she was carrying a bag in each hand, which looked like clothes or something similar, and practically dragging it along: "Yes! My aunt's bang bang chicken is super delicious."
The words of praise depend on whether Xiwawa agrees or not. Obviously, Xiwawa disagrees at this moment and seems to be going crazy: "That was made by Aunt Ma, not by Xiaobai. She only took the chicken home."
Xiao Bai was a little annoyed: "Xiwawa, hurry up and get to work!! Watch your step, don't trip over the threshold."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Robin, who had been distracted and looking around, cried out and fell to the ground, the bag in his hand flying away.
Zhang Tan walked behind her, took a step forward, and lifted her up with one hand.
"Stand still and watch your step."
Robin groaned twice, patted his little clothes and pants, looked at his palms, and seeing no broken skin, decided not to cry anymore.
Xiao Bai also reminded, "Don't cry if you didn't hurt yourself."
Robin nodded, even more determined not to cry. After all, he was a guest in someone's home, and it wouldn't be appropriate to cry as soon as he walked in.
"Let me wipe your hands." Xiao Liu took out a tissue and wiped Robin's palms.
Robin blew on her palms and instantly felt much better, her mood brightening. She noticed that Xiao Liu was wearing beautiful clothes today.
"Sister Xiaoliu, your clothes are so pretty."
Xiao Bai and Xi'er also looked over. They had wanted to say this when they first met: Xiao Liu was wearing new clothes today, looking cheerful and beautiful.
Xiao Liu smiled sheepishly, trying hard to hold back her laughter.
Xiao Bai said, "Your mom must have bought it for you."
Xiao Liu was extremely surprised. How did Xiao Bai figure that out?
Xiao Bai laughed heartily: "These clothes are the kind of clothes only a mother would buy. The clothes that an old man buys are like ours, look!"
She pointed to the clothes she was wearing, the kind that both boys and girls could wear, and they wouldn't look out of place on her.
Zhang Tan glared at her several times with a blank expression, but she didn't respond at all. As long as she didn't see it, it was as if nothing had happened. That's how kids take hurt.
After hurting Old Man Zhang, Xiao Bai continued to hurt Aunt Ma, pointing at Robin and saying, "This is the kind of clothes Aunt Ma bought."
Little White was bundled up like a round marshmallow, radiating the practicality and honesty that the older generation values most. She wore a maroon cotton-padded jacket, supposedly for warmth, to keep the child from getting cold in the countryside. The jacket had round, black plastic buttons, the top one always loosely pulled down by Little White, revealing the collar of her light gray thermal undershirt underneath. She wore thick cotton trousers…
Okay, I won't say any more. If I say too much, Xiaobai will get upset. Anyway, Xiaobai can be summed up in four words: incredibly unsophisticated.
Little White was a little unhappy, and said with a stern face, "That's too much, that's too much~ I'm very warm, I'm not cold at all."
Xiao Bai added, "It won't hurt if you fall. It protects you very well, like a ball."
Robin surprisingly nodded in agreement, saying, "Grandma said she doesn't mind if it gets dirty, I can play however I want, and she'll dress me up in pretty new clothes for Chinese New Year, just like Sister Xiaoliu."
Xiao Bai chuckled and smiled, as if to fit the occasion.
Anyway, she had no hope for her aunt's taste.
Xiaobai pointed at Xier again and said, "This is what the clothes my sister bought look like."
Pretty and cute, each piece is unremarkable on its own, but together they create a wonderfully comfortable look.
This is the aesthetic sense of my older sister, my aunt, and my father.
Xiao Liu wanted to laugh but knew she couldn't. At this moment, she had to comfort Xiao Bai and the others, for example, by saying, "No, your clothes are also very nice," and "They really are very nice, I'm not just saying that."
But my clothes were really bought by my mom.
Xiao Liu specially wore the new dress her mother had personally delivered yesterday, wanting to share her joy with Xiao Bai and the others. However, she was too shy to directly tell them, "Look, my mother bought this for me."
But I didn't expect Xiaobai to guess it at a glance. Xiaobai is too amazing.
The group entered the house, and Xiao Liu's grandfather made Zhang Tan a cup of tea, while pouring honey water for the children. Xi'er and Robin held their cups and sipped the water, feeling very happy.
"This is a gift from Chengcheng. She said she'll send you any books you'd like to read in the future."
Xiaobai opened a bag and took out a package of unopened new books. Inside were five storybooks, the top one of which had "The Nutcracker" written on its cover.
"Thank you, Chengcheng! I really love these books."
"I'll call Chengcheng later, and you can thank her yourself. Here, I'll also give you a book, hahaha, see if you like it."
Xiao Bai took out a beautifully decorated book from her bag and handed it to Xiao Liu, her face full of anticipation for her reaction.
Xiao Liu opened the packaging and saw the words "Our Summer" written in large characters on the cover.
Xiao Liu looked at Xiao Bai in surprise. Xiao Bai laughed and said, "This is a movie script. I made it into a book for you. It's one of a kind in the whole world. This is your story."
Xiao Bai turned the script of "Our Summer" into a book, packaged it, and gave it to Xiao Liu as a gift.
As expected, Xiao Liu loved it. She held the script with great delight, her eyes sparkling with joy.
"This is what Liuliu brought for you."
Xiao Bai sounded a little annoyed and dragged over the largest gift she had brought.
"It's all food, I'm exhausted. I told you not to bring so much food, we can buy it here, but Liuliu insisted that we bring it all the way from Pujiang! I'm never spoiling Suo Lao Erjing again next time."
The gift that Suo Lao Er Jing bought for Xiao Liu was snacks. That's how simple and unpretentious Da Yan Yan's social interactions are. If she can buy food, she will never buy anything else.
The snacks weighed a full 10 pounds, which Xiaobai went through a lot of trouble to transport from Pujiang by plane. It would have been impossible to do this without a thousand years of love.
Xiao Liu chuckled to herself, "Thank you, Liu Liu, thank you, Xiao Bai."
"Robin, quick, take out your gift and give it to Sister Xiaoliu."
Xiao Bai urged her niece to quickly show her the gift.
Robin quickly pulled out his gift from his bag. "This is for you. I hope you like it."
"Thank you, Robin."
When Xiao Liu opened the box, she found it contained a Sailor Moon merchandise gift set with several lifelike cartoon character images.
It didn't cost any money; I bought it from Little Red Horse Animation Company.
