When Li Yan felt like his face was being pulled again, he opened his eyes and saw Li Meng lying next to his pillow as usual, with his chubby little hands rubbing his face.
When he saw Li Yan waking up, the little one still wanted to run away. Li Yan didn't get used to it, so he grabbed him and slapped Li Meng's little buttocks with his hands.
Li Meng didn't cry, but just made trouble with her brother.
Li Yan looked at the darkening sky outside, picked up his Nokia phone on the bedside and checked the time.
It was already past six o'clock, and at this time the mother downstairs also heard the sound of eating. Apparently she heard the sound of the brothers and sisters getting up.
Li Yan got up to wash up, but Li Meng stood on the bed with his bare feet.
Li Yan had no choice but to turn around and let the fleshy little man hang on his back like a chokehold. He had to drag Li Meng's little butt with one hand to the bathroom to wash his face.
After putting on a gray sweater and a pair of casual pants, thinking that he would take his sister out to play in the evening, Li Yan simply put on his shoes.
You still have to do what you promised your sister, otherwise you won’t be so easy to coax next time.
Mother Zhang Lan looked at the two brothers and sisters going downstairs. Her daughter Li Meng was hanging on her son Li Yan's back like a koala, giggling from time to time.
Mother Zhang Lan laughed and shook her head. She didn't blame the naughty Li Meng and just said.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. Your brother is not busy recently. Let's go shopping for New Year's goods with your brother tomorrow!"
Li Yan has already told his mother in advance that everything in the factory has been arranged. All that is left is to develop in an orderly manner. He no longer needs to be as busy as before and do everything himself.
The mother was naturally very happy. Zhang Lan saw her son's hard work and efforts in the past few days and felt pain in her heart.
As for the development of the factory, it can be learned from his third uncle's mouth that it is quite good, far exceeding the development when the child's father was here.
This also made mother Zhang Lan feel very happy, but the feeling of distress for her son in her heart still lingered.
Others will only care about your success, while your family will only care about whether you are tired or not.
Mengmeng was driven by her mother to wash her hands. Seeing the little one swiping the water seriously, she quickly ran over and coquettishly squeezed into the arms of Li Yan who had just sat down.
I don’t even make my own little bench. When my brother comes back, I ask him to feed me.
Three dishes and one soup tonight, stir-fried lettuce, stir-fried bitter melon and eggs, stir-fried bacon and pork ribs in corn soup.
They are all Li Yan's favorite dishes, as well as the specially purchased Wuchang rice.
Speaking of this Wuchang rice, Li Yan sent it back directly from the Northeast through his college classmates, who were in the same dormitory as Northeastern buddies.
The taste is really different from the ones sold in supermarkets, it is very fragrant.
「Brother! I want to eat this!」
Mengmeng sat in Li Yan's arms and twisted around. Her own small chopsticks could not reach the lettuce, which was Mengmeng's favorite dish.
Li Yan took his sister's small bowl, picked up some lettuce and handed it to Mengmeng in his arms, while chatting with his mother on the other side.
"Mom, have you bought all the New Year's goods?"
"Not yet, I haven't bought the fireworks yet. Let's go together tomorrow and take Mengmeng back to her grandparents' house."
"Okay."
Every New Year, Li Yan's family spends almost all of their time at home in the city.
Because my grandparents are in DZ City, and my grandparents are also there.
As for the houses in this town, they are usually empty during the Chinese New Year.
Li Yan had nothing to do recently, so he naturally nodded, while Li Meng was squirming happily in his arms. Li Meng was the happiest when he was with his brother.
It is said that an elder brother is like a father. Now that his father has passed away, his sister Li Meng has become the one that Li Yan must take care of.
After dinner, my mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Li Yan helped. My sister Li Meng also took her own small bowl and chopsticks and washed them in the small pool nearby.
After finishing cleaning up, Li Yan took his sister's hand and walked out, and at the same time said something to his mother.
"Mom, Mengmeng and I are going out for a walk."
The mother was planning to go upstairs to change clothes at this time. It was a mahjong game for some sisters in the evening, so she casually agreed and let her son and daughter go out.
Just after walking out of the gate, there were some noisy sounds on the road, with a strong smell of human smoke filling the tip of my nose.
It is now around seven o'clock in the evening. Most of the electronics factory employees who work the day shift have already finished get off work, and those who work the night shift are about to go to work.
Li Yan's house is surrounded by residential buildings, many of which are rented out to factories or individuals for use as dormitories.
This has led to the gathering of many food stalls and food stalls downstairs. At night, it is lively and the aroma of food is strong.
Feeling the strength of the fleshy little hand in the palm of his right hand, Li Yan stopped helplessly in front of a stall selling starch sausage, looking down at his sister who had big eyes and could not walk.
The look of him silently looking at himself with his big eyes seemed to have the three words "I want to eat" written all over his forehead.
"Just finished eating..."
"Hmm~~~"
Looking at the trick, two small hands holding his right hand and shaking it around, and at the same time the fleshy little face pressed against his hand and rubbed against it, Li Yan was helpless.
"Have one, boss, don't put the chili pepper."
The stall owner bared his teeth and smiled: "Okay! Your sister is so cute!"
Most of the people who set up stalls nearby knew the residents here, especially Li Yan's family, who had such a cute little girl.
It costs one yuan a piece. Fortunately, this stall has been here all the time, and everyone knows it, so it is not unclean.
It's just a simple starch sausage, which Li Yan had eaten before.
At this time, Li Meng held his brother's hand with one hand, and held up the grilled sausage with the other fleshy little hand. He sizzled and ate in small bites, letting his brother lead him forward.
There was nothing much to do today. I just took my sister out for a walk to keep her company. Li Yan didn't have any destination.
There are no parks near home. Most of the areas here are factory areas. Li Yan held his sister's little hand and walked forward leisurely.
From time to time, many factory girls passing by, either getting off work or working the night shift, mostly cast their gazes at me.
There were gazes on Li Yan's handsome and tall figure, and there was also attention on Li Meng, who was cute, delicate and as delicate as a doll.
Until Li Meng felt that his brother's footsteps had stopped, he had only eaten one-third of the sausage in his hand before he could no longer eat it. He was planning to give it to his brother later.
Li Meng raised his chubby little face strangely and looked at his brother. Just when he was about to ask why he didn't leave, he saw his brother stopped in front of a girl...
