When the north wind howled outside and the dripping water turned into ice, inside the house, the thick curtains fell, blocking the cold wind that penetrated into the house.
The bed is very big, with two quilts. Luo Fengtang and Tuan Tuan cover one bed, and Yang Ruoqing brings Yuan Yuan to cover one.
Four people sleep side by side, and the beds are very spacious.
The four people were lying side by side and talking. At first, the two little guys asked Luo Fengtang various childish questions.
In these questions, the world is viewed through the eyes of children.
Speaking of which, the two little guys were probably tired of talking and wanted to hear stories.
"Okay, mom, let me tell you a bedtime story." Yang Ruoqing cleared her throat. Luo Fengtang had been dealing with them before, but now, it's her turn.
"The story we are going to tell tonight is called Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf..."
I remember back then, when Dazhi and Baby Luo were young, Yang Ruoqing would tell them bedtime stories like this to lull them to sleep.
From "Arabian Nights" to "One Thousand and One Nights", from "Andersen's Fairy Tales" to "Grimm's Fairy Tales".
She was like a storyteller about traditional Chinese classical myths, or "Journey to the West". Yes, she had almost told them several times.
Now that Dazhi and Luo Baobao have grown up, it's their turn to be reunited again.
Yang Ruoqing felt like she... knew these stories by heart!
The story of Little Red Riding Hood was only halfway through, and the two little guys made no movement at all.
"Who else is listening?" Yang Ruoqing asked softly.
"Me." Luo Fengtang's low-pitched response came from the darkness.
Yang Ruoqing almost laughed out loud.
The two 18-month-old babies fell asleep, but the 430-month-old baby was still awake!
"Okay, then I'll tell you!" Yang Ruoqing suppressed a smile and continued to finish the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
As a result, when she finished speaking, she found that the 430-month-old baby had also fallen asleep!
Nani?
Is this okay?
In the darkness, Yang Ruoqing carefully covered the three men with quilts.
Two lovely children, and the man beside them who shouldered the heavy responsibility of a family, and even a country.
He was working too hard.
Then sleep well!
As for Luo Fengtang, this night was the first time in a long time that he slept so well and at ease.
So when he woke up the next morning and saw his wife and two children sleeping next to him, Luo Fengtang felt warm in his heart.
He put his little hands that were lying outside back into the quilt again, then touched his round little head, and finally, his eyes fell on his wife.
He carefully leaned over and left a mark of love on her forehead. Then he dressed and got out of bed.
The first thing he did when he got up in the morning, Luo Fengtang greeted Blacksmith Luo and rushed to his father-in-law's house next door.
My father-in-law hasn't gotten up yet, probably because he drank too much last night.
Mother-in-law feeds chickens in the backyard.
Sun was a little surprised to see Luo Fengtang coming.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer? We're not in the army anymore. Why are we still getting up so early when we get home?" asked Sun with concern.
Luo Fengtang smiled and shook his head: "It's time, I feel uncomfortable if I don't get up."
Then, Luo Fengtang went straight into the kitchen to check his father-in-law's water tank.
Sure enough, there was not much water in the water tank, only one-third of the tank was left. It was probably enough to cook a random meal today.
Mrs. Sun followed the kitchen and saw Luo Fengtang picking up the pole and bucket to fetch water, so she quickly stopped him.
"Just wait until your father-in-law wakes up and ask him to pick. You can rest."
Luo Fengtang shook his head, "It's okay. This is just a warm-up for me. I can just pick up two loads."
"You don't have to choose. It's the same if I go to the well in the backyard to get water." Mrs. Sun added.
But Luo Fengtang still insisted on going to the pond to fetch water.
How should I put it, the water from the well at home is generally for emergency use.
For example, you usually water the vegetable garden in the backyard, or when the weather is bad, you wash clothes in the backyard to avoid having to go all the way to the pond when it is slippery.
In addition, the well is used as a water storage tool, and the water in it is usually used in an appropriate amount. Sometimes when the water level in the pond drops seriously and the water quality becomes turbid, the water in the well is mainly used for drinking.
The pond is full of water now, so I must go to the pond to fetch water for use!
In the end, Sun failed to stop Luo Fengtang and could only follow him.
Luo Fengtang went in and out to fetch water three times before completely filling the water tank at his father-in-law's house.
Looking at the full tank of water, Mrs. Sun was filled with joy.
This tank is full of water, but it can last three or four days if you try hard enough!
Looking at the sweat on Luo Fengtang's slow forehead, Mrs. Sun wanted Luo Fengtang to sit down for a while. As a result, Luo Fengtang found another broom and started cleaning the yard.
This can be seen by Mr. Sun, who follows behind to stop him.
Luo Fengtang was also dumbfounded by Sun's dissuasion. He held a broom in his hand, straightened up, and said to Sun: "Mother-in-law, please don't stop me. With your efforts, I have already swept the yard." It’s almost done!”
Sun was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it carefully, didn't she just delay things?
There is no choice but to step aside for the time being.
"Thank you, mother-in-law, for helping me!"
Luo Fengtang said happily, lowered his head, and swept the floor seriously again.
Soon, the front and rear yards were almost completely swept. After Luo Fengtang greeted Sun, he quickly returned to the Luo family's yard next door.
After coming back, the water tank, front and back yards of the Luo family were also one of the things Luo Fengtang planned for himself to do every morning when he got up early.
When Mrs. Sun came over to the Luo family after feeding the chickens, she happened to bump into Luo Fengtang sweeping the floor again.
I was sweating profusely. It was so hot in this cold day that I was sweating profusely, just like it was summer.
Sun smiled and said, "You really don't have a moment to spare. You should have a rest when you go home. Don't be more tired than in the army!"
There were beads of sweat on Luo Fengtang's forehead, with a simple and honest smile on his face.
"You're not tired! Mother-in-law, Qing'er should be awake too, go and have a look!"
Sun nodded: "Okay!"
Before Luo Fengtang came back, everyone in the family had already discussed that during this period, Sun's side would not cook. They would just go back and cook some hot water and food for chicken, duck, goose, and pig every day.
The other three meals a day are all eaten at Luo's house, because I help take care of the children.
After Luo Fengtang came back, Sun and Yang Huazhong went back to burn it themselves.
But something happened later, so Yang Ruoqing changed her mind and asked her parents to come over and have a big meal together before Daan came back.
Help with the kids.
When Da'an, his wife, and their children are about to go home for the New Year, it won't be too late to move back then.
So today, Mrs. Sun came over to help cook breakfast and take care of the children.
