Double Life: My whole world is you

It was just that she took nearly an hour to fall asleep, and Cheng's mother got up gently after seeing her fall asleep...

She slept very peacefully. When she woke up, it was already past ten o'clock. Chengzhu and Cheng's mother were watching TV and making dumplings in the living room. When Cheng's mother saw her get up, she smiled and said, "You must be hungry! Mom will go and make dumplings for you."

"I'm not hungry, I'm saving some food for the New Year's Eve dinner later." Cheng Qiao also sat down and joined the group making dumplings.

"We only have so many dumpling wrappers. You and your brother can make them. I'll go light the fire." After wrapping the dumplings, Cheng's mother stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Just as Cheng Qiao was wrapping two dumplings, three girls came in from outside. They were Cheng Yun, Cheng Dan and Cheng Lin. Cheng Qiao was a little happy, especially Cheng Lin, whom she hadn't seen for a year. Cheng Qiao wrapped a dumpling in her hand and walked into the kitchen. She washed her hands, said a few words to Cheng's mother, and followed the three girls out of the house.

"The New Year is lively, but it's too noisy." Cheng Lin listened to the sound of firecrackers, "Let's go sit on the hill opposite for a while."

"Sure! I'll go back and get some food and a deck of cards." Cheng Yun said.

"No need! I have to go back to eat the New Year's Eve dinner before twelve o'clock!" Cheng Dan said, "We will just go over there and sit for a while and then come back."

"I'm not in a hurry. We had the New Year's Eve dinner yesterday." Cheng Yun looked at Cheng Qiao and Cheng Lin, "What about you two?"

"My mother is starting to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner." Cheng Qiao replied, "You know I rarely have dinner with them in a year."

"Okay! You're the one who's busy every year." Cheng Yun was a little unhappy, "Lin, what about you?"

"It's easy for both my grandma and I to talk to each other." Cheng Lin replied in a somewhat depressed mood.

"Then I'd better go home and get some food. You two can come over after you finish your New Year's Eve dinner, okay?" After asking, Cheng Yun looked at the disappointed Cheng Lin and continued, "The four of us can only get together during the New Year holidays. We have to pay New Year's greetings to the whole bay on the first day of the New Year. This year I have to be at home on the second day of the New Year because my grandmother passed away. On the third day of the New Year, we have to go to my grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings. Coincidentally, she passed away on the fourth day of the New Year every year. We only have some time to get together today."

"Okay, I'll come after dinner." Cheng Dan expressed his opinion immediately.

Cheng Qiao was a little helpless. She was still thinking about finishing the remaining ten pages of English winter vacation homework in the afternoon. But seeing the expectant eyes of the three little sisters, she had to express her opinion, "I will come early too."

"Okay, I'll go back and get my things." Cheng Yun was very happy. After she said that, she ran towards her home.

"I'm going back to get some stuff too," Cheng Lin said. "I'm knitting gloves for everyone this year."

"Then I'll go back and get something to eat!" When Cheng Dan saw the two of them walking in different directions, she nodded to Cheng Qiao and ran towards her home.

Cheng Qiao, who had just walked out of the house, felt a little embarrassed. "I have to go home and bring some food, right?" So she walked back slowly.

"Sister, why did you come back so soon? The rice is not ready yet." Chengzhu stood up and said after wrapping the last dumpling.

"Brother, please give me some food from home." Cheng Qiao said with a smile, his hands in his pockets.

"Okay, come with me." Chengzhu took her to the room without washing his hands and stopped at the cabinet at the end of the bed. "Everything is inside. See what you want to eat."

Cheng Qiao found a small white plastic bag nearby and put some melon seeds and broad beans in it. Cheng Zhu looked at the small bag at the innermost part and hesitated for a while before saying reluctantly, "Sister, there are pistachios in it. Why don't you take them?"

Cheng Qiao looked at the white plastic bag that contained only a handful of pistachios, less than twenty in total, and smiled and shook her head, "I'll leave this for you to eat."

"Sister, I actually ate ten pills, and the fifteen here are for you." Cheng Zhu said embarrassedly, "I thought there were only so many, so you should eat them yourself and not share with them."

"Okay, let's keep it for ourselves and don't share it with them." Cheng Qiao said to Cheng Zhu before she went out with the melon seeds and broad beans in her hand, "Tell mom that I'll be back before twelve o'clock."

When Cheng Qiao arrived at the agreed hill, the three friends were all there. Cheng Dan complained, "Qiao, your house is the closest. You really deserve to be called the ink king."

Cheng Qiao was about to say something with a smile, but Cheng Lin immediately said, "We have only been here for a minute or two. Come on, try the gloves to see if they fit."

"This red one is for Yun." Cheng Lin took out the red gloves with a simple yellow flower woven on them. "It's as enthusiastic and cheerful as your personality."

Cheng Yun took it and tried it immediately, "You really know me too well, my chubby hands are just right."

"You have blessed hands." Cheng Lin said with a smile and handed a pair of sky blue gloves to Cheng Dan. "I wanted to knit a kitten, but it's a little complicated and I don't know how to knit it, so I knitted a big round head of Doraemon."

"It's quite cute! But isn't it too big?" Cheng Dan put it on and looked at the big round head on the back and curled his lips.

"Haha, just make do with that one. This is the best pair of Doraemon I've knitted." Cheng Lin said, "I hope Doraemon can bring you good luck."

"Thank you!" Cheng Dan put away his gloves and put them in his pocket.

Cheng Lin just smiled at her reaction. She took out the last pair of gloves from her bag and said, "Qiao, this is for you. I think white suits you very well. I wanted to knit a lily on it, but my craftsmanship was not good enough. I gave up after trying twice, so I knitted this pair of all-white ones."

Cheng Qiao put them on. The woolen gloves were very warm. "Thank you, Lin. I like them very much."

"Let's climb a little higher and sit on the rocks above!" Cheng Yun pointed to the small hill next door which was about ten meters high.

Cheng Qiao looked at the time and said, "Okay, you can sit for half an hour."

The mountains on their side were very flat, and after a few minutes they came to the top of the next hill. The top of the hill was empty and the sun was shining comfortably. Everyone sat down on the big rock one by one.

Cheng Yun first handed over the food in a big red plastic bag in her hand. The first plastic bag she took out was filled with small tangerines. "I wanted to bring apples, but they were too big. Four apples would take up half of the bag."

"Oranges are good. I like oranges the most." Cheng Dan peeled one and put it in his mouth. "So sweet."

"I remember Qiao also likes to eat it." Cheng Qiao handed two to Cheng Qiao and then took out a bag full of nuts, of course pistachios were the most numerous. There were so many that they were comparable to the melon seeds and broad beans that Cheng Qiao brought.

Cheng Qiao really wanted to ask, how many pistachios did your mother buy? She actually brought so many.

Cheng Dan helped Cheng Qiao to ask the question in her mind, "How many pistachios did your mother buy this time?"
