Chapter Eighty-Three: Coaxing the Child
Early the next morning, Yuan Si was woken up early by several nephews.
When she got up, she was alone on the kang, it should be said that she was alone in the house, Li Yuanshan and the old lady had already gotten up.
Hearing the sound of chattering outside, Yuan Si slowly got dressed.
Several children of the Zhao family were anxious to wait outside, and when they saw that their aunt finally opened the door and came out, they all cheered and leaned towards her.
"Auntie, did you finally wake up?"
"Auntie, are we going to start practicing martial arts today?"
"Auntie, do you want to take a horse step?"
"Auntie, I want to eat sugar. ”
Only the youngest one doesn't care about being a hero, and is still in the foodie stage.
"I'll wait. Yuan Si asked them to pause, then took out her toiletries and began to wash with the warm water that the old lady had given her.
The children behind followed her around like pugs, asking questions when they saw something they didn't know.
"Auntie, what are you doing here?"
"Auntie, why are you still foaming in your mouth?"
"Auntie, what are you eating, is it delicious?"
Yuan Si's mouth was full of foam, and she was too lazy to take care of these overly lively children, so she insisted on brushing her teeth well, and then answered the questions of several children one by one.
A few children asked when to teach martial arts, which made Yuan Si a little helpless, and finally could only fool them and say that they should improve their physical fitness before practicing martial arts, and now the easiest way to improve their physical fitness is to run.
So Yuan Si took the lead and led the four nephews out to run around the whole village.
On the way, I met several villagers who came out to fetch water, and everyone looked at their children with the eyes of the Western scenery.
But no, now that there is such a shortage of food, everyone has to move, they can consume less energy and eat less food, isn't it strange to see them running around the village with nothing to do.
Zhao Fuduo was not ashamed of it, and when he met someone he knew, he introduced it loudly to others, Yuan Si was their aunt, and they took their aunt out to play.
The time at home was discussed, and the fact that Yuan Si apprenticed and a few children to learn kung fu could not be passed on. So Zhao Fu took out a few more to play as an excuse.
On the first day of running, although Yuan Si controlled the running speed, after more than ten minutes, several children were out of breath and couldn't keep up with her pace.
When a few people ran home, the children were already admiring Yuansi's aunt. In the end, at the request of the children, Yuan Si still played a set of boxing techniques for them, which was not very profound, it was an introductory boxing method, and there were only eight moves in total. In this way, it also made a few children watch it with relish.
For breakfast, I ate pimple soup, and I used the fine white noodles brought by the old lady.
Several children ran in the morning and consumed too much, so after eating a big bowl of pimple soup for breakfast, they all looked at their grandmother pitifully.
I made a big pot of pimple soup, and with a wave of the old lady's spoon, she filled a full bowl for each of the children.
Li Yuanshan wanted to scold the child a few words, she would do it, she couldn't eat enough, what steps did she go to run, and she couldn't eat more when she came back after running, but thinking that there was still a little sister inside, she finally swallowed this word in her stomach.
After eating, Yuan Si was dragged out to play by several children, and Li Yuanshan took the old lady and her youngest son to her mother-in-law's house. My mother-in-law is here, so I have to go and see it.
Besides, Yuan Si was taken out by several nephews, and after running for a while, he reached the foot of the mountain. It's a bit reluctant to say that it's a mountain, because on the surface, there is no longer the handsomeness of the mountain.
"Auntie, let's climb up and hunt. "Zhao Fuduo is the eldest of several children, and he is also the one who likes to call the shots.
Yuan Si looked at the small mountain bag in front of him suspiciously, does such a mountain really have prey.
But seeing a few children eager to try, she has nothing to do, so let's go up and have a look.
On the way up the mountain, Yuan Si's brows have not been relaxed, just now at the bottom of the mountain has not been carefully seen, really into the mountain only to see that the mountain has been seriously damaged.
At the foot of the mountain, not to mention the lack of grass, it can also be seen that the vegetation there has been over-excavated, which is probably caused by the villagers going into the mountain to dig up a large number of wild vegetables. Not to mention the foot of the mountain, after entering the mountain, many of the trees on the mountain are like white chopped chickens that have been peeled, and the pestle is there.
Zhao Fuduo introduced to his aunt disappreciatively, "That's what everyone didn't eat, and I came here to pick up the bark to make it like that." ”
"Isn't this tree dead if it is peeled like this? "Yuan Si doesn't agree very much, the wool can't be so clean, how can you leave a way for the big tree to live, do you just eat the bark for a year, next year the tree will kill you, what do you eat."
"Death is death, people can't live, who cares about the life and death of the tree." Zhao Fuduo said disapprehantly.
Yuan Si shook his head, no wonder the people in this village are so poor, they have problems from their thinking, they don't know how to develop sustainably, they know that they have to keep taking, and no matter how good the living environment is, it will be consumed.
This mountain is only about 100 meters high, and several children climbed all the way to the top of the mountain with Yuan Si, not to mention the prey during this period, but not even a rabbit was seen. The children were disappointed, but Yuan Si took it for granted. The ecological environment has been destroyed like this, how can animals live here, they have already moved.
The children had been bouncing up the mountain all morning, and it was almost noon before they came down from the mountain.
When I ran home, I met a few friends, and Zhao Fuyou told my friends in a show-off tone about what he had just gone hunting with his aunt in the mountains.
Yuan Si blushed a little when she heard this, she didn't have the slightest prey in her hand, and she didn't know what this kid had to be proud of.
Fortunately, the children are relatively simple and don't mention the prey, but when they saw their friends' relatives coming, they all came over curiously.
Yuan Si was surrounded and returned to the third sister's house.
Li Yuanshan was cooking in the hall, and when she saw so many children coming back together, she quickly pulled her little sister over, and then began to tease people, "Okay, let's go home, I want to play in the afternoon." "At this time, the whole family was poor, so they did not have the habit of eating at other people's houses.
The friends saw that people were picking people up, so they all dispersed with a bang, and turned around and shouted as they ran: "Youzi, I'll come to play with you in the afternoon." ”
Zhao Fuduo didn't have time to pay attention to his friends at all, so they all came to the old lady's cauldron and squatted to look into the pot.
Yuan Si entered the house and saw that there were not only the old lady and the third brother-in-law in the house, but also a few men and women who didn't know each other, and their faces were a bit similar to the third brother-in-law, and it was estimated that they were the third sister's in-laws.
Sure enough, the old lady saw that her daughter was back, pulled her to introduce her, and asked her to call someone, "Come, Si'er, this is your third sister's father-in-law and mother-in-law, you can just call your uncle and aunt." ”
Yuan Si looked at the old man and old lady who were already gray sitting on the kang, and felt that she was older than her own mother, and it was indeed inappropriate to call her aunt and uncle, but she was also a little embarrassed to call her aunt and uncle.
"Haha, this little girl is really smart, you can raise children. The mother-in-law of the Zhao family pulled Yuan Si is praise.
Yuan Si was not interested in what they said afterwards, but fortunately, Li Yuanshan came in in time to say that she had dinner, which rescued her.
