Chapter 7

After the full moon ceremony, the heavy snow that fell for so long finally stopped.

The sun has been shining for several days, and the snow outside has almost melted.

Seeing that the weather is so nice outside, Wang Xiujuan dressed her daughter tightly, and carried her outside to bask in the sun for a while to replenish calcium.

Staying in the house all day, the child must be bored and flustered.

Su Qinghe didn't know what her mother was thinking. She was quite satisfied with her current life and didn't feel bored at all.

Apart from eating and sleeping every day, and there are people playing with her at night, it's really not too happy.

If it is possible, she thinks that she will not grow up for the rest of her life, and just be a rice bug is fine.

In her previous life, in order to earn money, she did not know how much she had suffered, and she often worked overtime until the early hours of the morning.

Often because of a call from a client, she has to stay up for several nights, with dark circles under her eyes.

However, it's not impossible for her to be a rice bug in her life.

Su Qinghe was lying in her mother's arms, basking in the warm sun, staring at a place in a daze.

"What are you looking at, darling?" Xu Mei sat aside and teased her.

Seeing sister-in-law coming, Wang Xiujuan knew that she liked to be obedient, so she took the initiative to ask, "Do you want to hug sister-in-law?"

Su Qinghe just fell into the other's arms like this. Fortunately, the aunt's body is also fragrant, and these days she often comes to play with her, and she doesn't resist.

Changing to a comfortable position and continuing to lie down, Su Qinghe was drowsy from the sun.

Seeing that the child was going to sleep, Xu Mei stopped teasing her. She shook her arms and hummed some song, coaxing Su Qinghe to fall asleep soon.

"Fell asleep?"

"Fell asleep."

Seeing that Su's mother took out a blanket from nowhere and covered the child.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the front yard chatted about their daily routines, completely unaware that the four children in the backyard were planning to do big things again.

In the backyard, the four children gathered together to discuss the plan in a low voice. Although there was no one there, they still whispered, as if they were afraid of being heard.

The advantage of having more children in the family is that they are not afraid that they will not have playmates. It may be because of the influence of adults that the few children do not play with the children in the village very much.

It also caused the relationship between the four brothers to be very good, and they even did bad things together.

"Later, Sanwa and I will go to the kitchen to get things. Siwa, you can dig a hole with Big Brother instead of running ahead."

I'm afraid that the fourth baby will run out and say something later.

"Yeah," Siwa nodded obediently, but quickly shook her head again, "Second brother, what should I do if I'm thirsty?"

"I'll get it for you." After finishing speaking, she was going to take Sanwa to the kitchen to find something.

The things in the house will not deliberately avoid the children, and soon the two of them will take what they need.

Erwa stood on tiptoe, took a box of matches from the stove, and stuffed them into her pocket.

"Second brother, are you ready?" Sanwa stood guard at the door, helping him out.

"Okay, let's go." The brothers stooped and ran back stealthily.

Halfway through the run, Erwa suddenly remembered that she forgot to help Siwa get water.

Stopped and gave the things to Sanwa, "You go first, I'll get water."

Sanwa didn't dare to delay, there were too many things in his arms and he was afraid that he would lose them later.

"Erwa, what do you want?" When Wang Xiujuan came in, she saw Erwa climbing onto the table on tiptoe.

I was so startled that I almost fell down.

Wang Xiujuan was also taken aback, and hurried forward to hug him down, "Slow down, don't climb the table by yourself, and tell the adults something."

"Small, auntie." Erwa saw her aunt hugging his waist, her little body shivered, fearing that the things in her pocket would be discovered.

"Well, do you want some water?"

"Yeah, the fourth baby wants to drink water, I'll pour it for him."

Fortunately, Wang Xiujuan didn't pay attention, so she let go of her hand and poured water for him. Thinking of several children playing together, they would definitely be thirsty for water.

Poured a large cup full, screwed on the lid, "Take it."

"Thank you, auntie."

The second baby didn't dare to stay longer, afraid that she would reveal her secrets later, and would run away with a large glass of water.

"Slow down, don't fall, if it's not enough, don't fall over." Wang Xiujuan worried, and shouted from behind.

"understood."

When they got back to the backyard, Dawa and the others were all ready, and the only thing left was to light the fire.

"Why so slow?"

Erwa panted, "I was almost discovered, but luckily I'm smart."

"Here's the water you asked for," he gave Siwa the water he had carried all the way, and took out a box of matches from his pocket.

Seeing that firewood had been placed in the dug pit, Erwa was a little skeptical, "Is that so?"

He couldn't remember what the hole he dug with his father and uncle last time looked like.

"That's it, I remember." Dawa nodded affirmatively.

Erwa scratched her head and waved her hand, forget it, so be it.

but--

"Who will light the fire?"

As soon as the words fell, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them had any experience in lighting a fire.

Siwa drank the water contentedly, with a little water stain on the corner of her mouth, and spoke innocently when she heard the word "fire".

"Mom said you can't play with fire, and you will wet the bed at night."

Sanwa nodded in agreement, and the two younger ones looked at the two elder brothers together.

The eldest child is the oldest, and will not be fooled so easily, "That's a lie to the child."

"Do you still want to eat roasted sweet potatoes?"

Thinking of the fragrant and sweet roasted sweet potatoes, the two little ones couldn't help drooling, and finally the foodies took over, and they nodded together.

"Want to eat."

Erwa waved her hand, "If you want to eat, don't talk so much nonsense."

The eldest child glanced at the three younger brothers, "I'll light the fire, the second child, you dig more snow."

Although the sun is shining now, the snowdrifts in the corner of the backyard have not yet melted.

When the snow was almost done, the eldest child was ready to start, took out a match from the box, and imitated the appearance of an adult cooking and lighting a fire.

Rub the red handle against the side of the box a few times, and don't forget to tell them when rubbing.

"If there is an accident, throw the snow on the fire."

"understood."

The three children had serious faces, their eyes were fixed on the firewood in their elder brother's hand, and they were holding snowballs in their little hands.

For the first time, the eldest child was not yet proficient in technology, "呵呵呵", and the match was rubbed several times but failed to light up.

"Is it damp, change one to see." Erwa remembered that this happened to her mother before cooking.

After wasting three or four matches, Erwa looked anxious and wished she could do it by herself, and finally succeeded.

The faces of the four children burst into joy.

"Quick, throw it in."

I saw that the originally weak flame gradually became bigger and taller after meeting the firewood.

"Add more firewood in." The children threw in all the unused firewood on the side.

"Brother, when will you put the sweet potatoes?" Sanwa and Siwa couldn't wait to hug the sweet potatoes and wanted to throw them in.

In fact, the eldest child can't remember clearly, but she still pretends to be experienced.

"Okay, you can put it in."

But Sanwa looked at the sweet potato in his hand and hesitated, "Brother, it's dirty."

The sweet potatoes have not been washed, and they are covered with a layer of mud.

Erwa didn't pay attention to these things, "It's okay, we'll eat the core later, not the skin, just peel off the skin."

"Okay." Sanwa followed suit and threw the sweet potatoes in.

"And then?" Erwa couldn't remember the steps of roasting sweet potatoes last time, and urged his brother anxiously.

The eldest child remembered that the younger uncle seemed to have buried the mud he had dug up.

The three of them didn't doubt that there was him, and carefully buried the mud on the fire. After finishing all this, the four of them had already become little cats.

I don't care too much, I just sit on the ground and wait for the roasted sweet potatoes to be ready.

"Brother, I want to eat candy." Siwa thought of the toffee he ate a few days ago, and became greedy again.

Erwa was a little greedy when he mentioned it like this, so let's smack his mouth a few times, as if he was reminiscing the taste of what he had eaten before.

"No sugar, we will eat sweet potatoes when the sweet potatoes are ready."

When Sanwa heard the candy, she touched her pocket and took out two candies.

"Where did you get the candy?" All of a sudden, three eyes were fixed on the candy in his hand.

Sanwa smiled embarrassedly, "I want to save some for my sister, but my mother said my sister is too young to eat candy."

When she knew that her sister could not eat candy, Sanwa felt that her sister was so pitiful that she couldn't even eat such delicious candies.

But my mother said that when my sister grows up, she can eat it, so Sanwa wants to save the candy and give it to her sister when she grows up.

Hearing that it was reserved for the younger sister, all three of them were embarrassed to speak.

Even Siwa knew to protect her younger sister, so she waved the chubby hand and said softly, "Don't eat it, give it to my younger sister."

If only he'd swallowed less obviously.

Sanwa looked at the candy in her hand, then at them, and hesitated for a while.

"I'll eat it for you, and there will be candy during the Chinese New Year. If you don't eat it, leave it to my sister."

Hearing that it was edible, the eyes of the three lit up again.

but--

"Give it to my sister, I won't eat it." The eldest child is still very like a brother.

Although Erwa was also greedy, she also shook her head.

Only Siwa couldn't hold back, and whispered: "Then, leave a candy for my sister during the Chinese New Year?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the other two people lit up, why didn't they expect it.

During the Chinese New Year, each of them can get three candies, one for the younger sister and two for themselves.

Such a happy decision.

Two candies, half a candy for four people, no one dislikes anyone's saliva.

The moment I ate it in my mouth, I was so happy.

Siwa was the most obvious, her eyes narrowed happily.

The adults in the front yard had no idea what the kids in the back were doing.

"I don't know if I'm coming back?" Wang Xiujuan glanced at the door a few times and muttered.

Mother Su shook her head when she heard what her daughter-in-law said, "Your father and the others will definitely not be able to make it back at noon."

Taking advantage of the good weather these two days, the father and son of the Su family went out to town early in the morning.

To apply for a household registration for the child, the name has already been thought of, and the girl's name is Su Qinghe.

Qing is the word for the children of their generation, and He in the name mostly means harvest, abundance, and happiness.

They didn't have too many demands on the only girl in the family, they just hoped that she would be happy and that she would not have to worry about food and drink in the future.

The registration of the child's household registration will be done quickly, but Su's father and the others will have to go to the city after completing the registration.

In this way, I can’t come back until it’s dark.
