After the dumplings were made, another pot was cooked, and each person ate a few. After finishing cleaning up, the twelve o'clock bell rang.

Ding's parents, Ding's mother, Li Qin and Wang Ziwen couldn't stand it anymore because of their age, so they took their grandsons back to sleep.

Li Wenxuan, Wang Jiadong, and Ding Jianguo, together with their families, went to play cards in the gazebo in the back garden.

The six of them plan to fight until dawn tonight.

They were not happy to let them play in whichever room they wanted. Li Chu was afraid of freezing them, so he made a briquette stove and carried it over. There was a jug of water on it, and there happened to be some water to drink.

When he came to the back garden after dawn the next morning, the three family members fell asleep lying on their husband's lap at some unknown time.

And the three men started to bring money to play Doudizhu.

It didn't seem like much fun, anyway, when Li Chu went in, he saw that there were pennies on the table.

But just this frightened the three of them enough, they had fun, and they didn't hear any movement outside.

I have specifically told them before that they can play cards, but those who bring money are definitely not allowed.

Seeing this, Li Chu raised his eyebrows, walked over and grabbed the split ticket on the table to look at it.

"Sure, Jianguo, you are the elder here, did you play with them?"

"Sister...brother-in-law, we just play casually. I've never played with money before. This is the first time. It's only a penny. And it's almost four o'clock when I play. I just played for a while."

"Dad, I suggested it. We made a mistake, and we will never dare again."

As the three of them stood up, the three family members who were lying on their laps also came to their senses. They knew what was going on when they saw the money on the table, and they all stood there daring to say anything.

"It's not that I won't let you play. The three of you, one a state cadre, one soldier, and one policeman, all understand your identities, right?"

"Brother-in-law, we guarantee that we only played this way with our own family. We have never played outside. I have never even played cards with outsiders."

"Uncle, me too, this is really the first time."

"Okay, I believe in you, I still say the same thing, remember your identity, what you can do and what you can't do, you must have a bottom line in your heart. Don't let others catch you.

It’s not impossible to hang out with relatives casually at home during the holidays, but you must have a degree, you know. "

"I know brother-in-law (uncle) (dad)."

"Who has won the game?"

"Ah?" The sudden turn made several people stunned.

"Dad, I won five cents." Li Wenxuan said cautiously.

"That's fine, let's not talk about the two days off. After work, you can buy us a catty of mutton. The two of you are the same. If you want to play cards during the two days off, whoever wins will buy us meat after the holiday." Come back and have a barbecue with us."

Li Wenxuan's mouth could be stuffed with an egg.

I just won five cents, how much does a catty of mutton cost.

Li Chu may have realized that he was a bit cruel, and continued: "It is calculated at fifty cents a catty of meat, just like Wenxuan just now is a tael of meat."

After several people heard this, they felt relieved. It would be okay if they calculated this way, anyway, they would eat the meat after they bought it.

"Okay, pack up, don't play now, and prepare dumplings for dinner. Wenxuan and Yueyue will go out with me to celebrate the New Year later. If you want to play, you can play tonight."

This is an annual repertoire, Wenxuan and Yueyue have long been used to it, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Father Chu, Smelly Bao didn't drink milk last night?"

"Didn't you feed it before going to bed? It's only five o'clock, and it's not time yet."

"Oh, oh, I'm so confused." Wang Yueyue patted himself on the head a little bit.

After eating the dumplings, Li Chu and his family of five got in the car and went straight to the nursing home.

"Hey, come, come, let grandma hug you, you look so cute, you really love me." As soon as she entered Uncle Wu's house, Aunt Wu took the child from Ding Qiunan's arms.

There was heating in the room, so she took off the small quilt wrapped around the child first.

"Your uncle is really, in such a cold day, you still insist on bringing the child with you. Look at the child, his face is flushed from the cold."

"It's okay, auntie, this kid is just like his father when he was a child, tough."

"It's only five months old. Hurry up, there's something to eat on the tea table, and grab it yourself. This little guy doesn't recognize his birth. Look, Lao Wu, he's still smiling at me."

Uncle Wu was also very happy looking at the children, and the old couple immediately threw the adults aside.

"Hey, can the child eat candy now?"

"Go, how can you eat sweets at this age, thanks to you, you can figure it out." Aunt Wu gave the old man a white look.

Li Chu watched the second elder clumsily teasing the child, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

The old couple had no children of their own all their lives. Although they were well taken care of by the staff in their later years, this emotional deficiency cannot be made up for.

Since Chou Bao was born, Uncle Wu often called him to ask him to bring the child with him when he went there. He went there alone for a routine checkup, because the old man gave him a long time to look at him.

After teasing the children for a while, Uncle Wu arranged for the staff to tell the people in the cafeteria to steam a bowl of egg custard and bring them over.

The second boss wanted to feed the children something delicious, and in order to satisfy their desires, Ding Qiunan asked them to feed them egg custard, just as the children were about to drink milk.

The child started to yawn when he was full, and Aunt Wu patted the old man's arm.

"Have someone push out the prepared cot."

"Huh? Oh oh oh, I forgot."

The conversation between the old couple stunned Li Chu and the others. What's going on?

Seeing this, Secretary Zhang explained: "Director Li, the chief specially found a small bed that can be pushed and pulled. He said that the child must sleep when he comes over today, and it will be convenient for him to sleep on it."

Seeing the small bed pushed out by the staff from the house, Li Chu didn't know what to say.

The child also gave a special face today, lying on the small bed, he was not in a hurry to fall asleep, but sat up and played with the elder for a while before falling asleep.

"This little guy is obedient, and he doesn't make trouble when he sleeps. When he's sleepy, he falls asleep by himself. This is good, this is good."

Aunt Wu sat on the sofa, looked at the sleeping child, stretched out her hand and carefully touched the fleshy face.

"Xiao Chu, come with me to the study and tell me about your medicine."

"Okay Uncle."

"For those who celebrate the new year, the child comes to pay you New Year's greetings, and you still have to talk about work." Aunt Wu said with some dissatisfaction.

"Hey, just a few minutes, Qiu Nan, please sit down first." Uncle Wu looked at Li Wenxuan and thought for a while before saying, "You come too, Wenxuan."

"Ah? Oh, here comes Grandpa."
