Chapter 183, 1 Family
"Minglang looks taller, a lot taller." When she saw her nephew, she hadn't seen him for half a year. Aunt Qiao found that the kid had grown a lot taller, and turned her head and said to her nephews: "Today I'm having dinner at my aunt's house, you go back and put away your things, and you all come to our house for dinner."
"Good lady." Qiao Mingjing and Qiao Mingzhong replied.
Qiao Minglang smiled and nodded, at this moment he heard the voice of their child.
"elder brother--"
A group of children who heard the voice in the house ran out, and Qiao Sanmei and Qiao Mingcheng who ran ahead jumped on their eldest brother, shouting, "Brother, brother, you are back!"
The little girl also complained: "Brother, why did it take you so long to come back? We have been waiting for you at home for a long time."
"Isn't this back?" Qiao Minglang just got out of the car and hadn't stood still. He was staggered by the feet of these two little ones. Fortunately, his stature has grown in the past six months, and his strength has also increased. Take a step back and stabilize your body.
He reached out and touched the heads of the two children. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "I brought you new clothes and delicious food. I'll go back and take them apart later."
"Wow, really?" Qiao Sanmei said with surprise.
"Brother, I'll help you carry things." Qiao Mingcheng saw that his brother was carrying something, so he reached out to help carry it.They were all very happy to see their brother back.
"Father—" Qiao Conglin ran out after him, but his calves were short, and no one who was older could run faster than him.
"Hey, son, dad is back." Qiao Mingshan bent down and picked up his son. It felt like he hadn't seen him for a few months, but his son had grown up a lot.Seeing his elder brother hugging his nephew, Qiao Mingliang couldn't help stretching out his hand to tease the younger nephew, and asked, "Why didn't you bring your younger brother out?"
"My brother is too slow." Qiao Conglin still disliked his brother for being too young and walking slowly, so he didn't bring him out.
"Little boy, I still think my brother is too slow. My brother is a little younger than you. Next year, my brother will be as big as you and can run with you. When the time comes, you can take your brother to play together, can you?" Qiao Minglang asked.
Qiao Conglin hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly agreed, "That's good."
Seeing his son's serious appearance, Qiao Mingshan couldn't help but smile.
At this time, Qiao Xiaohui chased the two twins out of the house, shouting while chasing: "Run slower, don't fall."
In the past six months, the two twins have grown up a lot. The most obvious thing is that their running steps are much more stable than they were half a year ago.
When so many people came back from the family, the two twins still recognized their elder brother at a glance. Although the elder brother hadn’t been back in the past few months, the other brothers and sisters mentioned the elder brother a lot. The two twins still remembered that the elder brother brought them delicious.
The little girl ran ahead and hugged one of her brother's legs with both hands, while Qiao Xiaobao, who was chasing after him, occupied the other side.
"Brother, brother—"
"Hey, brother is here." Qiao Minglang looked down at the child who was hugging his two legs, and met the two cute little faces, feeling extremely soft in his heart.He gave the younger brother what he was carrying, bent down, and hugged the two twins one by one.
"You guys come over to my aunt's house for dinner later, just come over later. I have to go back to cook, so I won't stand here with you, remember to come to eat." Aunt Qiao still thinks about the food in her kitchen. She hurried back to cook vegetables for everyone to eat, and reminded everyone to come and eat, so she hurried back home.
Seeing that his mother had left, Qiao Mingshan talked to his cousins, took his two younger brothers, and followed his mother back home.

Qiao Xiaohui, who was behind, chased after her. She couldn't even catch up with these two little ones now.
"Brother, you are back. Don't hold them both, they are so heavy." Qiao Xiaohui saw her brother holding two children in his hands, and reached out to pick one up.Unexpectedly, the two little villains turned their faces away when they saw her stretching out her hand, and said, "Don't, don't..."
"..." Qiao Xiaohui was so angry that she complained to the older brother who came back, "Brother, look at the two of them, they are so disobedient. They run around and make trouble all day long, I can't even catch up with them now. "
Especially these two little things are sometimes very bad. Knowing that she is chasing them, they have learned to run separately.
The little girl also knew that the second sister said she was being misbehaved, so she protested, "Be obedient, be obedient."
"Then come to my sister if you are obedient." Qiao Xiaohui stretched out her hand and said with a serious face.
Seeing her elder brother looking at her, the little girl had no choice but to reach out to her elder sister.
With one person missing in his arms, he immediately felt much more relaxed. Qiao Minglang looked at the eldest girl in their family with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Let's go to Uncle Wu's house first."
Qiao Xiaobao hugged his brother's neck with both hands, took a stable and good position, and turned to look at the twin sister.
The smart little girl also knew that she had lost to her twin brother this round, so she was a little listless in her sister's arms.Seeing the little girl's appearance, Qiao Xiaohui felt angry and funny in her heart, so she ignored her.
There is an open space just in front of their house, where the car can be parked.
Qiao Chunfu parked his tricycle and came over, seeing his two sons and nephews waiting for him, "Let's all go home."
Let's all go into the house together.
Qiao Minglang carried things into the room where his younger brother slept. There were clothes and some food in the bag, some for their children, and some for grandparents and uncles. He kept the things for the children, and the rest Take it to others.
"Well, I bought them all for you. Look at which ones are yours." He bought the same clothes for the three little girls, only the sizes were different.The clothes of the two younger brothers are easy to identify, one big and one small, Qiao Minglang took out the bags containing different clothes.
"Brother, these clothes are so beautiful, did you buy them for us?" Seeing that her brother brought them back New Year's clothes, Third Sister Qiao couldn't put it down touching their new clothes, wishing she could put them on right now.
"Don't watch, we'll go to the aunt's house to help with the work first, and come back to watch in the evening." Qiao Xiaohui still remembered that the aunt's house was cooking, and they wanted to go over to help.Although everyone is back today and there are many people working, it doesn't matter if they go or not.
But knowing that there is work to do, if they don't help, even if the elders don't say how many siblings they have, Qiao Xiaohui will feel bad.
Hearing her sister's words, Qiao Sanmei had no choice but to put down the clothes in her hands.
"If you take your new clothes, take them back to Erniang's house and put them away. You can wear them after taking a shower tonight. There is also a bag of candy here, which was brought to Erniang's house. You take them together." Qiao Minglang took a few He handed a bag to the two little girls and asked them to take it back.
The brothers and sisters still lived in the house of the two uncles during the Chinese New Year. They didn't go back to live in their house for a long time, and they didn't know if they could still live in the house.
When he came back from the last vacation, he went back to their house and saw that there were a few small holes in the roof, and he didn't want to spend money to repair them.The land here is bought, and two new houses will be built sometime in the next year. They will still live in the homes of their two uncles for a while, and they can move to the new house after the house is built.
However, after hearing what happened in the house next door, the man in that house beat his own mother to death, and the man cut his own pulse in the house, and died in the house, Qiao Minglang didn't want to let that happen. Several children in the family went back to their original home.
It used to be a little remote there. It used to be their two families, and there was a small forest between them and their uncles.
Walking from their house to their uncles' house is not far away, but it happened to be blocked by the small forest.Usually he is not at home, and only a few children are at home. If something happens, the uncles of them will not know, so he is not at ease.
After knowing what happened to the family next door, Qiao Minglang didn't dare to let their children go back to live with him.
***
After everyone put away their things, they went to their uncle's house.
"Grandpa." As soon as he entered the door, he saw his grandfather sitting in the yard smoking a cigarette. Qiao Minglang went to the old man, called out to him, took out a small bag from his pocket, and said, "I bought some shredded tobacco for grandpa. See if you get used to smoking."
He knew that the old man usually likes to take a puff of cigarettes. He happened to pass by a small stall one day and saw that the shredded tobacco sold by the hawker was good, so he bought half a catty.Fearing that the old man would smoke too much if he liked it, Qiao Minglang didn't dare to buy too much.
"The good grandson is back. Oh, why are you buying something for grandpa again?" But the old man said so, and when he heard his grandson said that the shredded tobacco was bought for him, he immediately smiled, and stretched out his hand to take it from his grandson. s things.
As soon as the packet was opened, there was golden shredded tobacco inside.
Grandpa Qiao took a look at the shredded tobacco, stretched out his hand to pinch it a little, smelled it, and knew it was good shredded tobacco. He couldn't help but nodded and said, "This shredded tobacco is good."
"I have to smoke."
As he said that, the old man pinched some shredded tobacco, put it on the small mouth of the chimney, lit the fire, took a puff, and spewed out a puff of white mist. With a face full of enjoyment, he nodded and said, "This shredded tobacco is good, it smells really good."
"Oh, why is shredded tobacco so good, Dad, let me smoke it too."
Just when Uncle Qiao came over, he saw a small bag next to his father, which contained a pack of shredded tobacco. He squeezed a little bit with his hands, put it under his nose and smelled it, gave a long hum, nodded and said: " This shredded tobacco is good, and the taste is really fragrant.”
Although the old man was a bit reluctant to smoke for his son, every sip would be one less sip.
But the son spoke up in person, and with so many people watching, Grandpa Qiao had no choice but to pass the hookah to his son.
