412, the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve
After a while, Xiao Huihui and the little dog came, and as soon as Xiao Huihui came, he told Mu Ya that the strange man who was sent to the school in the morning had been crying and making trouble there, and Brother Da Lang didn't dare to beat or scold, just before he left, he was tired and fell asleep.

"Sister Mu Ya, where did that little sister come from, everyone said they didn't know her." Xiao Huihui asked curiously.
The little dog had no interest in the strange man, he hadn't seen Left, Left, and Right for days, and yesterday he had carved a piece of ice from the river, and carved a pony for Left, Left, and Right to play.
It's going to be a little bit of a melt at this point, so I asked left and right in the kitchen, and went to find them. Mu Ya was still a little sorry for the child, and asked Xiao Huihui, "Did you say anything besides crying?" ”
"Yes, there is saying, saying, help us, I am Xiaoyu's younger brother, please save us." Xiao Huihui said in the tone of the child, Mu Ya felt a little strange when she heard it, speaking of which, that child is really pitiful, but unfortunately, she can't be saved no matter what, she can't be soft-hearted, she must not be soft-hearted.
After a while, the children came out of the kitchen, laughing as they ran, holding a golden ice sculpture in their left and left hands, and shouting, "Little pony, fly, fly." Right right chased after him and shouted: "Left left, don't run, play for me, play for me." ”
Mu Ya couldn't help but smile when she saw the children having fun, and said to Xiao Huihui: "I really hope that we can all be so happy forever." ”
Xiao Huihui thought of his brother and his mother, who didn't know how he was now, and felt a little sad and pouted.
Mu Ya saw that Xiao Huihui was unhappy, and thought of what the child might think, so she said, "Okay, okay, everything has become better now that I have come to Rainbow Village." By the time of next spring, your grandma may be here too. ”
Speaking of Patriarch Jiang, Mu Ya also misses Patriarch Jiang very much, and misses the life that everyone lived together at that time, if Patriarch Jiang is also here now, how good it would be, Xiao Huihui and they will also have their own relatives. Patriarch Jiang can also help build the village better, and Yan Yi will be so hard again, Mu Ya thought about it for a long time, hoping that this winter can pass quickly. When this winter passes, everything will be better.
But this winter did not get colder and colder as Mu Ya hoped. The water in the river is already several feet thick, and the water in the water tank at home has become frozen, and now every day to boil water, you have to boil the ice before you can boil the hot water.
Now the children sleep at Grandma's place at night. The body temperature of Bao'er and Diandian is higher than that of humans, so children like to sleep with Bao'er and Diandian, and they are not afraid of the cold.
Recently, it has been too cold, and Yan Yi has not gone out to find copper mines, so he accompanies Mu Ya and the children at home every day, and the family basks in the sun at the door during the day. Make a hearty lunch at noon, and in the afternoon Muya will teach the children to read and sing.
Time flies. Soon it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, this day this New Year, Mu Ya was notified early, early in the morning, Mu Ya thought about how to decorate the home. The Chinese New Year must be pasted with couplets. There are also lanterns pasted and fireworks at night. Set off firecrackers, send off the past year, and welcome the new year.
Early in the morning, Mu Ya asked Yan Yi to go to the hot spring to find sulfur and come back, the fireworks she made may not be enough, and she wants to prepare more. She dyed red paper with the children, and the weather was good today, just after the snow, and the sunny day after the snow, she could just come to dry the paper.
The little dog and Xiao Huihui came early in the morning, they have been pickpocketing today, and the little dog has to ask Mu Ya what to prepare, because he is also the first time to celebrate the New Year, and the villagers of Flame Village don't know what the New Year is, so no one is ready, he wants to come to Sister Mu Ya's house, come to learn something, so that he can go back and spread it to everyone, so that everyone knows what the New Year is, and they are all happy.
Xiao Huihui doesn't know how to make paper, today is also the first time to participate, he wants to learn everything now, see A Fan will see a doctor, he also has to learn, Brother Dog can do martial arts, can write, read, and make paper, it's just amazing, he must be a person as good as Brother Dog, so as to protect his future clansmen.
In the morning, Mu Ya taught everyone to make the paper, and she used dansha to adjust the red color of the paper to be dyed. The young children, when they saw the red paint, thought they could eat it, especially Zuozuo and Bao'er, who were not sensible, and they came to drink the contents of it, and the frightened Mu Ya hurriedly stopped them. After teaching the children that their stomachs hurt after eating, the children stopped.
When she was young, some of her aunts made red paper, and when she was young, her aunt would use chopsticks to dot the paint on the red paper and nod the foreheads of the children.
Mu Ya also ordered one for the children today, the younger children are very fond of it, only the little dog and Xiao Huihui ran away, and refused to order, laughing and saying: "The red one is like a little female beast, don't point it." ”
I didn't think it before, but now the children understand the difference between men and women, is this progress or regression, Mu Ya looked at Ah Fan's hair was messy, and it looked like she hadn't washed it for several days, too, the weather has been cold recently, and the children don't take a bath much.
Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, in Mu Ya's hometown, the Chinese New Year's Eve is an important day, today is to remove dust, so regardless of men, women and children, they must take a bath and wash their hair, clean themselves up, and prepare for the next day, the new year.
During the time of drying paper, Mu Ya shoveled snow and boiled water, bathed and washed the children's hair.
In the words of the puppies, "dirty, but warmer, we are all used to it, or we wash our hair." ”
Mu Ya had no choice, she washed the children's hair alone, there was no bath tent at home, she was afraid that the weather would be too cold, and the children would take a bath and freeze, so she gave up, and washed the hair of the two children. Washed the children's hair.
After washing their heads, they all had hot air on the top of their heads, pointing at each other's heads and laughing, and the little dog asked curiously: "Sister Muya, why are there smoke on the top of our heads." ”
The children were still quite scared, especially Jing'er, who shouted, "Oh no, is the top of Jing'er's head on fire?" "Children, the tone of the voice is particularly interesting, and the voice is sweet.
"It's not in the way, this is not on fire, it's because you have just washed your hair, and there is heat on your head, because the weather is cold, and these hot gases meet cold air, and they become water droplets, understand!" Mu Ya explained that she has explained it very easily and hopes that the children will understand.
Jing'er, Xiao Huihui and Ah Fan are all far away, they don't understand, but they are relieved when they know that it is not because of the fire, only the little dog has been there thinking, why is this happening, "Is there dew in autumn because of the cold weather, so there is dew." ”
This problem was studied too deeply, and Mu Ya was afraid that the puppy would fall into it, so she said: "Well, that's the case, it's good to know that there is no danger, many problems, when you grow up, you will know." ”
The dog nodded, and he went back to jot down the new discovery.
The children's hair was dried, the paper was also dried, Mu Ya began to dye the paper, spread the paper in a wooden barrel, dyed the paper, dyed it, and the puppy followed, and then spread it on the mat to dry.
When everything was done, Grandma also made lunch, and everyone ate mutton hot pot together at noon. This is Mu Ya's favorite, she smelled the fragrance from afar, but Yan Yan hasn't come back yet, just asked him to find some sulfur and come back, why did he go for so long.
The children also smelled the fragrance and couldn't wait, so they all sat down one by one, and they didn't have the heart to play, just waiting to eat something delicious.
Grandma's skills are getting better and better, and the food she makes smells so good, even Mu Ya couldn't help but swallow several mouthfuls of saliva, "Okay, let's wash our hands and sit down when we go back, let's wait for Yan Yi to come back and have dinner together, okay." ”
When the children heard that they were going to be able to eat, they were very happy, they went to wash their hands, found a seat and sat down, waiting to eat, left and right they wanted to eat eggs, sweet eggs, but they didn't have a good impression of mutton, as long as it was sweet, they liked to eat.
Grandma had already cooked a big pot of mutton stewed Chinese cabbage in the pot, and put red peppers, as well as potatoes and radishes, she saw that the children were all seated, so she said, "Let's start eating first!" The children were hungry, so I kept them for him. ”
It can only be like this, Mu Ya is also afraid that the children will be hungry, so she asked Grandma to cook, and after a while, the little ones took their own bowls, went to the kitchen, and went to Grandma to cook, a bowl of stewed mutton per person, and a multigrain steamed bun.
The children shouted delicious while eating, especially Xiao Huihui, who didn't have such delicious things in the dormitory, and the little dog and Ah Fan couldn't eat such delicious things.
Mu Ya saw that the little brother was in a hurry, and comforted: "Little brother, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, be careful of choking." "Mu Ya look at the little brother, the little dog and their brothers are really pitiful, they have no father and mother, they are all big ones taking care of the little ones, and this little brother doesn't even have a name.
"Little dog, you can name your little brother! You've also read so many books, now Sister Mu Ya will test you well to see if you can come up with a name. Mu Ya suddenly raised up and brought up this matter.
The puppy was eating happily, listening to Mu Ya say this, he thought about it, yes, Brother Yan has a name, Sister Mu Ya has a name, even the left and right also have names. He remembered that the book said that when a person is born in the world, he must have a surname and a name, and he can be regarded as living in the world.
What is the surname and what is the name, he has also pondered this question for a long time, and he has not pondered it clearly until now, and he also memorized the surname of a hundred families before, and the book says that the surname and the first name are the two stages of human progress and the product of civilization. But what civilization is, the puppy still doesn't understand.
"Sister Mu Ya, what is a name, the puppy is our name, and the little brother is also the name of the little brother, isn't that the case?" The puppy asked.
