"Sister, Niu Niu can now call her father and mother very clearly and accurately,"
"Sometimes I can say some very short words, such as: I want to eat candy. I want to go out to play. I want to buy this, not that, haha..."
"Oh my god, that's such a big improvement. I remember when I returned to Qing'an County from home in the first month of the year, when I was called aunt, I was always called Da Bao, grandma, or Lai Lai..."
"Well, in the first half of the year, my mother-in-law took care of him every day and taught him how to speak like a parrot. He has made good progress."
"However, compared to talking, his progress in walking is really a big improvement!"
"Oh? Tell me quickly."
"When I was in the first month, I started to look like I was walking. I always had the walking belt on me. If I didn't tie it on even a little bit, I would fall down."
"Now, I can walk steadily! I don't even need a stool."
"Sometimes when the adult next to him turns his eyes away for a moment, he will flip out and start climbing on the stool. Just yesterday, he fell while climbing over the stool, and a bump the size of a quail egg appeared on his forehead!"
"Huh? Such a big bag? It hurts a lot!"
Yang Ruoqing had just been immersed in the joy of Niu Niu's growth and progress.
Unexpectedly, Xiao An suddenly changed the topic and talked about Niu Niu's injury. Yang Ruoqing could imagine that scene and couldn't laugh at that moment. She even put on a mask of pain on her face.
"That quail egg-sized bun is always painful. Didn't you pick it up and rub it?" Yang Ruoqing asked quickly.
Xiao An shook his head: "My mother-in-law originally wanted to rub her, as the older generation did. I was not at home at the time, but Lian'er stopped her in time."
"Lian'er remembered what she had learned from you before, and she didn't dare to rub it. So she soaked the handkerchief with cold water, applied it to the bag to slowly reduce the swelling, and then applied some anti-inflammatory medicine..."
When Yang Ruoqing heard this, she felt relieved.
"That's good. Fortunately, Lian'er has a good memory and didn't panic at the time. It really can't be rubbed."
While the siblings were chatting and laughing, the dripping mat was hung to dry in the shade under the eaves.
The thin quilts used at night were placed on bamboo poles and exposed to the sun.
The doors and windows in Xiao An's house are open to allow ventilation.
Now that they were all here, Yang Ruoqing took a few handfuls of vegetable leaves from the vegetable garden in her parents' backyard and threw them directly into the chicken coop.
As soon as they were thrown in, the chickens and ducks that had been hiding in the shade immediately flew over happily with their wings flapping, scrambling to peck at the fresh vegetable leaves.
From time to time, they make gurgling sounds in their mouths. Vegetable leaves are their favorite food. They can not only fill their stomachs, but also contain a lot of water, which can produce fluid and quench thirst.
"Come on, Xiao An, let's go over there. You can rest while I cook you some lunch."
"Sister, it's hot today. Just cook two dishes at noon and that's enough. Don't make a fuss about me."
"Don't worry, it won't happen. You can eat whatever we want, and you're not an outsider."
When Yang Ruoqing came back from the Luo family, she happened to see two little guys in the main room standing at the table. The two little guys stood on tiptoe, scrambling to take out the candies from their pockets and put them on the table.
The two of them were still comparing who had more than who...
Wang Cuilian and Luo Tiejiang were sitting nearby drinking tea, watching and smiling.
"What are you doing? Where do you get so many candies?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.
When Xiao An came back from Qing'an County, He Lian'er prepared two large snack boxes for him to bring back.
Give them to Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo.
The upper and lower layers of the snack box are filled with small pastries and candies, which are high-end snacks from Qing'an County.
When Yang Ruoqing received the snack box, the two little guys had just eaten breakfast. She didn't want them to eat it now, so she secretly hid the snack box without telling them.
Among the snacks prepared for the two brothers at home, there are currently no candies.
Because Yang Ruoqing believes that children should eat candies in moderation. If they eat too much, their teeth will turn black and become damaged...
So the colorful candies that the two little guys were taking out like Doraemon at the moment definitely came from outside.
"This was stuffed by Wuga Po when we went to the fifth room earlier. Both pockets were full!" Wang Cuilian answered Yang Ruoqing's doubts with a smile.
That's it, I should have thought of it a long time ago, Yang Ruoqing said in her heart.
Then he walked to the table and said, "Don't eat all these candies in one sitting. Hand them over, and I will keep them for you temporarily."
Yang Ruoqing stretched out her hand to sweep the two piles of candies on the table into her pocket, and the two little guys protected them almost at the same time.
And at the same time he was shouting: "Mom, no!"
"Why not?"
"We have divided this candy, it doesn't belong to both of us!"
"Oh? Tell me."
Tuantuan grabbed a handful of candy and ran to Xiao An: "Uncle, this is for you to eat."
"Ah?" Xiao An looked at the colorful candies in his palm and was happy.
"Not bad, not bad, I still think about my uncle, what a good boy!"
Xiao An rubbed Tuantuan's head.
Yuanyuan also ran over and also stuffed a handful of candies for Xiao An: "Uncle, I'll give you candies, can you take me and my brother to play in circles?"
"Turning around in circles? No problem. Not only will we spin around in circles later, my uncle will also teach you boxing and horse stance. I'm sure you two will be the best in the whole village!"
"Okay, okay, let's practice now. When I'm done, I'm going to show it to Sister Lanlan and let her praise me!" Tuantuan said, clapping her hands.
And Yuanyuan said: "After I have learned the lesson, I will go to the entrance of the village to challenge Xiaopang and the others. I will use my fists to let them know that being the boss depends on strength, not age!"
"Oh, these two guys can do it! They both have ambitions!"
Xiao An was so happy that she praised her, and immediately gave the candy to Yang Ruoqing who was next to her. She held a little nephew in one hand and walked to the backyard...
In the main room, Yang Ruoqing, Wang Cuilian and others looked at each other in silence, only laughing.
These two children really have no taboos in their childish talk.
Sometimes it sounds so childish and funny, but isn’t that how the world of children comes about?
Simple, innocent, and saying whatever they think. Children see the world differently from adults.
"These two boys in our family are doing the same thing, but with different purposes."
Next to him, Blacksmith Luo commented.
"Compared with Yuanyuan's use of violence to conquer the friends around her, we Tuantuan seem to care more about getting along with the girls like Lanlan."
Hearing Blacksmith Luo's comments, Yang Ruoqing couldn't stop laughing in her heart.
Translated in Yang Ruoqing's own language, the uncle's words are: Yuanyuan practices boxing because she really likes it, and wants to improve her own force value, so as to gain authority among her peers and become a leader and talker. She is very strong. He's a straight man.
As for my brother Yuanyuan, he practices martial arts and other things just to pick up girls...
