The old lady didn't speak. She turned her head and waved to Shui Bingyue, gesturing for her to come over. The little girl walked over.
Then I discovered that there were two more cubs in Xiaobai's arms, one white and one purple. The two little cubs are very cute, but they are so small that they can't even open their eyes.
"Wow, Xiaobai actually gave birth to a baby!" Shui Bingyue exclaimed in a low voice, fearing that her voice would scare the baby.
The old lady stood up contentedly and took the little girl with her to the kitchen. The two make breakfast together.
The snow outside the house was so thick that when I stepped on it, it was almost half the height of my legs. The first snow of the new year is really quite big.
The grandfather and grandson are cooking a smorgasbord in the kitchen. After all, many things are fried. Put them in a pot and cook them together, saving time and effort.
The two of them warmed themselves by the fire and chatted. The old lady smiled and said: "Your little white is so smart. It's time to give birth. I'll come back to you."
"I didn't expect it to give birth to cubs today. What food should I prepare for it?"
"Grandma has never raised an animal like this. I just try to give it whatever Xiaobai likes to eat. But it's too cold in this day, so try to defrost the meat before giving it to it."
After Shui Shangqing and his sons got up, they cleared the snow from the roof and yard.
After all, as much snow as can fall on the ground, there will be as much snow on the roof. If it is too heavy, it may collapse the roof, so it is better to deal with it in advance.
When the family had breakfast together, Liu Xuemei said happily: "Brother, fortunately the second brother came yesterday. If they came today, I'm afraid it would be difficult to go down the mountain. After all, it is difficult to walk on the snowy road on the flat ground, let alone come down from the mountain. ”
Hearing his wife mention her two uncles, Shui Shangqing suddenly asked her daughter: "Goudan'er is ready to go to school. Will Bingyue go to school this summer?"
"Am I not old enough?"
"It's okay. If you study in our village primary school, the age requirement is not so strict. Now that there is nothing going on at home, just go to school."
Shui Jianguo suddenly spoke: "Mom and dad, Bai Lu and I have goals for our children to go to school in the city. Why don't you ask your sister to follow me to the county seat. The teaching quality of the primary school affiliated with our steel plant is very good."
"Let's wait until Bingyue finishes elementary school and enters junior high school. After all, someone takes care of her three meals a day at home, and you two are too busy working to take care of her.
Schools in the city have strict age requirements, and Bingyue is still young and not old enough to study. If she doesn't do well in school in the village primary school, it won't be too late for you to bring her into the city. "Shui Shangqing refused.
Shui Bingyue herself prefers to stay in the village. After all, the county town is very unfamiliar to her.
Most of the people in the village are children from the village and several nearby villages. She is familiar with them and should be able to get along with them.
Xiaoqi is very sorry. After all, when his sister goes to the village primary school, he will go to the commune middle school and can no longer accompany his sister.
The two have been together for the longest time, and he is reluctant to be separated from his sister. After breakfast, I quietly discussed with my sister: "Bingyue, can you finish elementary school early and go to junior high school with me?"
"If the primary school teacher allows me to skip a grade, I should be able to come to you early. I also want to go to school with Brother Qi."
Shui Bingyue is also looking forward to going to school. After all, she can memorize her brother's books, and elementary school knowledge is not difficult for her.
She took Brother Qi and Xiao Bokang back to the room to see Xiao Bai and his cub. Xiao Qi was very surprised: "When did Xiao Bai come back? Is he still a mother?"
"I came back last night. The cub was born this morning. But I knew it came here. I didn't know it when it gave birth. Grandma discovered it first."
"Sister-in-law, Xiaobai is white, why are there purple cubs?" Bo Kang asked curiously.
Shui Bingyue wasn't very sure, so she just guessed: "Maybe Zaizai's father is Sable, and one follows his father and the other follows his mother."
After hearing this, Xiaobai nodded slightly. Bo Kang was pleasantly surprised: "Sister-in-law, he agrees with what you said. He is really smart!"
Shui Bingyue also specially made a nest for the two cubs. After all, they have to grow up, and they can't stay with Xiaobai all the time.
At noon, Xiao Wu found a killed pheasant in the yard, with a purple marten squatting next to it.
He asked jokingly: "Are you here to give food to your wife?"
"Yeah."
Even though they couldn't understand each other's language, they still started chatting. Xiaowu took Sable to his sister's room.
Sable was so happy to see Xiaobai and the two cubs. But he didn't make a sound, he just huddled together with Xiaobai and interacted intimately.
Then he took the pheasant in and let Xiaobai eat it. The two mink didn't know what they said, and the sable put the pheasant in front of Shui Bingyue.
"Okay, I understand. Let me help you defrost the pheasant and prepare it into a state that Xiaobai can eat." Shui Bingyue used the secret of animal language to understand their conversation.
Xiaowu watched with great interest, and then said with emotion: "I didn't expect that such a small thing can hurt my wife."
"There are sincere feelings between any species. It's just that we don't understand their language, so we think they don't understand anything."
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shui Jianguo and Bai Lu left Qingshui Village and returned to the county town. After all, those who have jobs should start working.
After that, the rest of the Shui family stayed at home. The sable dutifully went out to hunt and feed his wife and cubs.
But after getting familiar with the Shui family, it will sleep in the nest with Xiaobai at night. It's much warmer than in the mountains.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Shui Bingyue ran to open the door and found her fourth brother standing outside the door, whom she had not seen for a long time. She was pleasantly surprised.
He quickly stepped forward and took the fourth brother's hand. He didn't even bother to close the courtyard door and shouted into the house: "Grandma, parents, fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, my fourth brother is back."
Soon, everyone came out of the room and surrounded Shui Jianshe. Shui Bingyue closed the courtyard door, and the family went to the main room to chat.
Shui Jianshe took off the big backpack on his back and took out the gifts he bought for everyone: "Grandma, this piece of material is for you."
"Okay, Xiaosi is interested." The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes.
"Mom and Dad, these pair of ceramic dolls are given to you. I wish you happiness forever."
Liu Xuemei was very happy: "Okay, these two dolls look quite like your father and me."
"This kind of ceramic doll is customized and made according to the buyer's description." Shui Jianshe explained.
"You have your heart." Shui Shangqing did not ask his son how much he spent, after all, his heart was the most important thing.
The gift given to Wuliuqi is a pen, which is also a very expensive gift.
