Master of Pretenders

?In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is coming, and my eldest sister is going to Paris soon.

The three brothers started cleaning three days in advance, and even Minglou went out in person to clean up thoroughly to welcome the eldest sister.On the day the eldest sister arrived, the three of them shaved their heads, shaved their faces, took a shower, changed their clothes, and stood neatly at the airport exit to greet her.When the figure of Ming Jing appeared at the door, Ming Tai was the first to rush forward and put his arms around his neck to call Eldest Sister. Ming Lou and Ah Cheng stepped forward to bow and salute, and took Eldest Sister's suitcase and put it on the car.

Ming Jing complained on the road, "People in Paris celebrate the Spring Festival, and there is no atmosphere on the street at all." Mingtai put his arms around his sister's neck, "There is no atmosphere on the street, but there is at home. The three of us are here, what atmosphere do we need? Shanghai has it." What's the fun of being at home alone next to you!" The elder sister patted the back of his hand, "Mingtai is right, it's called New Year with you."

It's different when the eldest sister arrives. After she inspects the room and kitchen, she starts to assign tasks.Ming Lou was sent to buy vegetables, Ah Cheng helped prepare candlesticks and firecrackers at home, and Ming Tai accompanied his eldest sister to buy new clothes for everyone.Although under the conditions of the Ming family, it is not a big deal for the three brothers to wear the latest styles from Paris every season.However, the eldest sister is willing to stick to these old customs and wants to add some color to this Spring Festival.

On New Year's Eve, after having a New Year's Eve dinner and setting off firecrackers, the four of them kept the New Year's Eve talking and laughing.After a while, everyone got another big red envelope from the eldest sister!Mingtai was overjoyed, "Sister, I finally have money. If you don't come, I will become a long-term employee of the Ming family, and so is Brother Ah Cheng. Every day I am sent around by the elder brother, and he is not allowed to call him elder brother. Call me sir." The eldest sister asked Minglou with a smile, "Professor Mingda is so arrogant?" Minglou hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't listen to this boy, I think he is so ugly that he is used to stretching out his clothes and eating, so he forced him. He does some housework. Ah Cheng is a teaching assistant, and it’s more appropriate to call him Mr. at school. It’s not casual at home.” Mingtai curled his lips, “It’s not casual at all. Brother Ah Cheng gets nervous when he makes a mistake. What’s wrong with you? ?” Minglou glared at him, “Don’t ask for a beating if you are a big Chinese New Year!” Then he turned to the elder sister, “Tomorrow, I will invite a photographer to take a family portrait for us. It’s been a long time since the four of us got together to celebrate the New Year.” Mingtai I became happy again, "Tomorrow we will all wear newly bought clothes to take pictures, big brother, Brother Ah Cheng, the clothes I picked for you are all high-end goods!"

There is no small ancestral hall in my home in Paris, and there is no ancestral ranking. On the first day of the first day of the new year, the four siblings kowtowed to the east in the living room, which is regarded as ancestor worship.

After eating the rice cakes brought by the eldest sister, the photographer really came.Everyone happily took single photos and family photos.Ah Cheng suddenly wanted to learn photography, so he hid behind the machine and took a picture of his eldest brother and sister and Mingtai.

Two days later, the photo was developed and delivered, and Mingtai still held up the group photo and said, "Brother Ah Cheng, you can do it. You can take this picture no worse than a photographer. I want to put the picture you took in the bedroom." Snatch it back, "I won't give you this one, I'll wash another one later." The young master shouted unhappily, "Sister, brother Ah Cheng stole my photo!" Ah Cheng ignored him and went into Minglou's study with the photo , "Brother, let's put this photo in the office." Minglou saw that it was the one taken by Ah Cheng, and smiled, "What a boy, he is making progress."
