70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 251 Making a Lantern

Seeing him like that, Xie Xiaonian couldn't help laughing.

After the few people had seen enough of the lanterns, Guoan and Guoxing took the lanterns into the house and put them away, for fear that they would accidentally break them and they would have nothing to play with at night.

"It's not interesting for you to spend the holidays at home by yourself. Let's spend the holidays with me today. We can have more fun together."

Xie Xiaonian was also not polite, and said directly with a smile: "Okay, then I will not be polite."

"What's so polite about me." Wu Shuqin said reproachfully.

Then Xie Xiaonian went on to say: "I took the time to make a lot of Lantern Festival yesterday, just so you don't have to do it."

"That's a good relationship. I know your craftsmanship. I was going to ask you to help me make Lantern Festival. If you are ready, then I will save trouble." Wu Shuqin said happily.

Xie Xiaonian made a total of three kinds of Yuanxiao with black sesame filling, peanut filling and chestnut filling. They were all sweet, and made twenty of each kind. When making it, Xie Xiaonian was serving for Wu Shuqin's family.

Because Xie Xiaonian and Wu Shuqin's family are from the north, she didn't make salty glutinous rice balls.

Because there are not many opportunities for children to eat sweets at this time, and Xie Xiaonian makes a lot of Yuanxiao, so when cooking at noon, Xie Xiaonian said to Wu Shuqin: "Sister-in-law, I will go home and bring the glutinous rice balls. I make a lot of them." , you can cook some for the children at noon."

After Xie Xiaonian finished speaking, Xiaotong stared at her mother, wanting her mother to agree quickly, with a very greedy look.

Although Guoan and Guoxing are boys, they are also at the age of eating sweets, so they are also very happy when they hear that they will cook Lantern Festival at noon.

Wu Shuqin heard that Xie Xiaonian said that she made a lot of Lantern Festival, so she said to Xie Xiaonian: "Okay, you can go home and take it, just put the pancakes here, I will watch."

"Well, I happened to get a few more diapers for the pancakes for the afternoon." Xie Xiaonian continued.

"I'm going too, Auntie, I'll go with you, I can help you get things." Xiaotong said happily.

"Okay, then Xiaotong and Auntie will go together." After saying that, Xie Xiaonian took the bouncing Xiaotong home.

Xie Xiaonian thought that she would also have dinner at Wu Shuqin's house in the evening, and after the meal, she must have taken the child directly to the yard to play, so she took the pancake lantern, diapers and blanket.

Afterwards, Xie Xiaonian went to the second bedroom to fill up all the Lantern Festival that he made before, and then took out a piece of marinated pork from the space, preparing to add another dish at that time.

And because of this piece of stewed meat, Xie Xiaonian was talked about by Wu Shuqin for a long time, always saying that she was too polite, and it was not that there was nothing at home.

At the end of lunch, Wu Shuqin didn't serve this piece of stewed meat, and was going to let Xie Xiaonian take it back at night.

Seeing Wu Shuqin, he really felt that he was getting angry with her too much, so Xie Xiaonian didn't insist anymore, and agreed, so Wu Shuqin would be better off.

But when cooking at night, Xie Xiaonian still took out slices and served them on the table. Since she brought them, she would never bring them back. Of course, this is a story.

At noon, Wu Shuqin cooked 5 or 6 dishes, with meat and vegetables, and the taste was also very good. In addition to the sweet boiled glutinous rice balls, everyone ate their stomachs full.

Because he seldom eats sweets, even head Wang Gangyi, who doesn't like sweets, ate a small bowl of Yuanxiao.

At 4:[-] in the afternoon, Wu Shuqin and Xie Xiaonian started preparing dinner under the urging of several children.

It was only 6 o'clock when we finished eating and packed up the house, and it was not completely dark yet.

But a few children saw that there were already children playing in the yard with lanterns, so they couldn't wait to go out.

The children went back to the house and took out the lanterns. Guoan said to Wu Shuqin, "Mom, where are the candles? Light them up for us, we have to go out now."

"It's not completely dark today. Isn't it a waste of candles to light it now? Why don't you play with the lanterns first and light the candles later." Wu Shuqin said.

"No, what's the fun without candles? It'll be dark in a while, Mom, hurry up and light them for us!" Guoxing said coquettishly.

Xie Xiaonian saw that many children had already come out one after another outside, so she said to Wu Shuqin: "Sister-in-law, order them, it happens that we have nothing to do at home, so let's go out together to join in the fun, I haven't seen the big ones yet. What is it like to pass 15 in the hospital?"

"Okay, then let's go out and join in the fun now." After finishing speaking, Wu Shuqin took out the candles and matches, and lit candles for the lanterns of several children.

After lighting, Wu Shuqin stuffed the match into Guoan's pocket, so that if the lantern was blown out by the wind, he could light it again himself.

After lighting it up, the children carefully carried the lanterns and went out.

But because the pancake couldn't carry the lantern at all, and walking was not very stable, so Xie Xiaonian didn't let the pancake run and play with them, and hugged the pancake by herself, carrying the lantern and went out to play with Wu Shuqin.

By the time Xie Xiaonian and Wu Shuqin went out, Guoan and the others had already disappeared.

Because they were all in the compound and it was relatively safe, the two of them didn't go to Guoan and the others, and went directly to chat with the military wives they knew.

After playing until after 9 o'clock in the evening, the people in the compound began to go home one after another. Usually at this time, almost all the people in the compound have already rested.

After Xie Xiaonian and Wu Shuqin bid farewell, they also went home with the pancakes that had fallen asleep.

After returning home, Xie Xiaonian saw that there was nothing wrong and there was nothing to pack at home, so she turned off the lights and went back to the house, and went to the space with pancakes.

Now there is almost no need for Xie Xiaonian to manage the space, she can run it by herself, so now she enters the space and spends most of her time teaching pancakes to play games, learning to recognize animals, plants and various colors, etc.

Because the time in the space is relatively long, Xie Xiaonian will tirelessly teach pancakes over and over again.

And pancakes are inherently smarter, so Xie Xiaonian found that she could remember what she taught once or twice, and it could last for a long time.

This discovery made Xie Xiaonian very happy, and he was very proud. Who doesn't want their children to be smart.

After Jianbing woke up today, Xie Xiaonian took out the pictures he had prepared before, and was going to review them for Jianbing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she brought the card to the pancake, he saw him looking at her with contempt, as if saying, I have learned this badly, and even taught me, my mother is so stupid.

Although Xie Xiaonian knew that pancakes had already been learned, but he didn't want him to learn too many things at once, after all, he was still so young.

So Xie Xiaonian could only keep repeating the previous things to him, and prepared to wait for a while before preparing new things for him.

After Panbing quickly answered Xie Xiaonian's question, she hugged Xie Xiaonian's neck and said coquettishly, "Mom, go to the mountain, go to the mountain."

Going to the mountains is currently Pancake’s favorite activity. It may be that you can see all kinds of animals and plants on the mountains, or you can eat wild fruits from time to time, so Pancake likes to go to the mountains very much. Every day play for a while.

Xie Xiaonian saw that Panbing said he was going to the mountain, so he didn't object, and walked slowly up the mountain with him in his arms.

When encountering animals and plants on the road, Xie Xiaonian would point to Panbing and tell him what it is and what it is useful for.

Xie Xiaonian didn't expect him to remember so many things at once, she did this only to cultivate the habit of pancakes and teach him to say something.

Judging by the fact that Pancake is less than one and a half years old now, but talks like a 2-year-old child, you will know that this method is still very effective.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it is customary to touch the lanterns and burn the lanterns, so at night, the children no longer carry the lanterns carefully like yesterday. Some naughty children start to hold the lanterns as soon as they go out. Touch the lanterns of other children.

This is also a small game. Children bump their own lanterns against other children's lanterns to see whose lantern can last longer.

If you can burn other people's lanterns while your own lantern is still intact, the children will think that their lanterns are very powerful, and they will be happy to touch other children's lanterns until their own lanterns are killed.

Today, just as Xie Xiaonian went out with Panbing, he saw Guoan Guoxing and the others coming this way. Xie Xiaonian smiled and said, "Have you eaten yet? Where's your mother?"

"My mother is washing the dishes at home, and she will be out in a while, auntie, let's go touch other people's lanterns with pancakes." Guoan said happily.

When Xie Xiaonian heard it, she thought it was a bit funny, as an adult, if she did this, others would not accuse her of bullying children, so Xie Xiaonian said with a smile: "Go and play, my brother is too young to go, wait When you come back later, let’s touch brother’s lantern again.”

"Then let's touch it now. It will save our lanterns from burning in a while, and there will be no lanterns for Jianbing." As soon as Guoxing finished speaking, he went up and bumped his own lantern and Jianbing's lantern together.

Then I saw the candle in the lantern tilted, and the two lanterns were burned at once.

Guoxing originally wanted to burn the pancakes, but who knew that both of them were burned at once, and he immediately had a bitter face, wanting to cry or not.

Before it even started, the lantern burned, so what did he want to play for a while.

Seeing his sad look, Xie Xiaonian quickly coaxed: "Your brother and sister are still there, you can play together, don't be sad, just after the new year, you can't cry, another day Auntie will cook something delicious for you."

As soon as Xiaotong heard that there was something delicious, she immediately answered: "Auntie, I want to eat something delicious too. I can give my second brother my lantern to play with."

"Xiaotong is so good, there is something delicious, Auntie will give it to you." Xie Xiaonian patted Xiaotong's head and said.

At this time, Guoxing was no longer sad when he heard that his sister wanted to play with the lantern for him, and said happily, "Sister, let's play together."

Seeing how well behaved the children were, Xie Xiaonian let them play while she walked to Wu Shuqin's house.

Anyway, the pancake lanterns have already been burned now, Xie Xiaonian is going to Wu Shuqin's house to find his sister-in-law, and then go to the vegetable field to play together, the place is big and the most lively.

Because today's lanterns are made of paper and bamboo sticks, they are easily burned, so Xie Xiaonian and Wu Shuqin stood outside for a while before Guoan and the others came to look for them.

"Mom, all our lanterns are burned!" Guoan said with a sad face as soon as he approached.
