It wasn't until I got home that I found out that Xiaobao and Er Ya had already returned, and lunch was already on the table.
Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuqin felt relieved to see their four children all grown up and doing well, thinking that no matter how hard they worked, it was worth it for the sake of the kids.
After the four siblings of the Zhou family sat down, they started eating their lunch in a lively and noisy manner. Since Zhou Xiaoyun entered junior high school, the opportunities for the whole family to gather together for lunch had become very rare.
Nowadays, children have all grown up, and whoever speaks is a set of seven mouths and eight tongues, making a lively noise.
This long-lost feeling made Zhou Guoqiang feel very happy in his heart, and he invited Zhao 'Yu' Zhen to pour him a drink.
Zhou Xiaoyun laughed happily, Zhou Guoqiang rarely drank at home except when guests came, after all, he was busy every day and had to drive a tricycle, so he didn't have the time or mood to drink. It seems that Zhou Guoqiang is in a good mood today!
Zhao 'Yu' Zhen poured wine for Zhou Guoqiang, and Zhou Guoqiang drank it in one gulp with relish, feeling that the taste of the wine was particularly good today.
On the dinner table, a plate of cold cuts was picked up by Dabao with one chopstick and took half of it. Xiaobao saw this and quickly went to pick some up as well: "Brother, don't eat it all by yourself, leave some for me."
The second girl refused to show weakness and shouted: "I want to eat too! I want to eat too!"
Dabao saw his younger brother and sister being no match for the dishes, couldn't help but smile with gleeful eyes, and triumphantly stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, chewing vigorously.
Zhou Xiaoyun can still pick up the remaining beef with chopsticks and eat some braised pork with potatoes. Hmm, it smells good!
Xiao Bao quickly grabbed the last few pieces of beef.
Stuffing into mouth, intoxicating half-closed eyes. It's still better to fight with brother for food, usually just eating lunch by myself and Er Ya is not interesting at all.
Dabao obviously shares the same idea as Xiaobao, he usually eats lunch at San Shu's house and eats whatever he wants until he is full, Zhou Zhiyuan and Zhou Xiaoyun never compete with him. But eating at home with Xiaobao feels much better, the flavor has been upgraded.
It's beautiful!
The second sister pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction: "Brother and second brother are too much, I just ate one bite and it's all gone."
Both Da Bao and Xiao Bao burst out laughing and said in unison: "Who told you to be slow!"
No need to think about it, Er Ya can't beat those two!
Zhao 'Yu' Zhen was both angry and amused: "Don't fight, I'll go cut another plate." Luckily, today's beef purchase was plentiful, originally prepared for two meals, now it seems that won't be enough either, let the kids eat it all!
The big treasure and the small treasure cheered in unison.
"Mom, let me do it! You stay and have a couple of drinks with Dad."
Zhou Guoqiang burst out laughing: "You're right, my dear. Come over and keep me company for a couple of drinks. It's no fun drinking alone."
Zhao 'Yu' Zhen's alcohol capacity is not small, usually doesn't drink but if she does start drinking half a catty of wine won't get her drunk. After hearing Zhou Guoqiang's words Zhao 'Yu' Zhen also smiled and said: "Alright, I'll have two cups with you today."
Father and mother each had a cup, I also had a cup, and we started drinking, adding to the excitement.
Zhou Xiaoyun weighed the remaining beef, a full half catty, she specifically
Qie's thin slices were arranged on a large plate and placed in front of Er Ya.
Er Ya was quite clever this time, first she quickly picked up several mouthfuls with her chopsticks and put them into her own bowl, then slowly came out.
As for Da Bao and Xiao Bao brothers who are having a great time fighting, it's better to turn a blind eye. Anyway, that's what happens when the two brothers get together.
After eating almost enough, Da Bao finally announced: "I have a piece of good news to announce to everyone."
Xiao Bao's mouth was still full of food and his words were unclear: "What good news could you possibly have, did you get the 'Three Goods' student award?"
There are at most four or five excellent students in a class, and Da Bao's grades are not good enough. This clearly shows that it is to expose Da Bao's shortcomings. Among the four siblings, Da Bao has the worst grades and has never received an award for being an excellent student.
Dabao's eyes widened: "Can't I have some other good news?" Xiao Bao's words were getting sharper and sharper, always poking at people's sore spots.
Xiao Bao saw Da Bao blowing his beard and staring: "Alright, I won't interrupt anymore, hurry up and say it!" Otherwise, Da Bao would hit him, Xiao Bao still had some sense of self-preservation.
Zhou Xiaoyun's curiosity was also piqued by Da Bao, who had been mysterious and secretive all the way, not even leaking a word. It seems that as he grew older, Da Bao's demeanor had become more refined!
Dabao proudly announced: "Next year our school will send people to participate in the county's middle school sports meeting, and I was selected!"
This unexpected good news made both Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yujuan delighted, and they all praised
Da Bao can do it.
Dà bǎo xiàng hē zuì jiǔ shì de huàn táo táo de.
Translation: Da Bao was dizzy and dazed as if he had drunk too much wine.
Zhou Xiaoyun was delighted for Da Bao and hastily asked for details.
Originally, Da Bao was the sports commissioner in his class and often came into contact with the physical education teacher. Da Bao's long legs made him a fast runner and he was favored by the physical education teacher. This time, for the county-wide middle school sports meet, each school had to select several students to participate, and Da Bao was selected to participate in the 1500-meter long-distance running and 100-meter short-distance running events.
"Brother, you didn't even mention it to me on the way here!"
Dabao laughed and said, "I wasn't thinking about it because I was hungry, but after eating this beef, my belly is full and now I remember that thing."
Little Treasure said with a straight face: "Brother, you say if you go for a run, will you run back in reverse?"
Glared at by Dabao, I didn't dare make a sound and thought to myself, I'd better just eat!
"Brother, sister, I have some good news: this year I got a 'Three Goods' student award."
She was highly praised by Zhou Xiaoyun, and Er Ya smiled happily. Er Ya couldn't keep the news to herself either, and as soon as she got home, she showed the certificate to her family members, including Zhou Guoqiang and Zhao Yuqin. Xiao Bao found out as soon as he got home from school, but only Zhou Xiaoyun and Da Bao knew about it when they returned home late and were in a hurry to eat dinner.
Xiao Bao said with a determined look: "Sister, I also got the 'Three Good Students' award." Xiao Bao has always looked up to his sister as a goal and continued to work hard. This time, he scored the highest marks in the final exam.
Kids, it's not easy to catch up with your big sister like me, and add some fuel
Got it!
Dabao looks at this and then that, wanting to shout loudly: When can I also get the award for being a good student like Zhang San?!
His siblings all have them, but he himself has never received a "Three Good Student" award. This is simply a huge irony for him!
Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't take it anymore. Xiao Bao had been fighting with him since childhood, and if he didn't make a strong effort soon, even the youngest Er Ya would look down on her big brother.
Don't be like that!
Zhou Xiaoyun took one look at Da Bao's disheartened face and knew what he was thinking, so she didn't try to comfort him.
It's a good thing to know the gap, and it's even better to know that you need to work harder. Who knows, this motivation might drive Da Bao to study more diligently!
Let him be gloomy, we three will continue eating, haha!
