It took Ning Jing a lot of effort to finally coax the little girl to sleep.

They were carefully placed next to Gou Dan, who was already asleep. The two of them closed their eyes, their little mouths moving occasionally.

This made Ning Jing and Fu Hongxing's hearts soften.

Ning Jing breathed a sigh of relief. When the child was asleep, he was like an angel; when he cried, he was like a devil.

It's something that makes you both love and hate it. Thinking of this, Ning Jing couldn't help but gently tap the little girl's hand.

Unexpectedly, the little girl suddenly opened her hand and grabbed her fingers.

Ning Jing tried to pull it out, but she didn't expect the girl to be so strong that she couldn't pull it out.

When he tried to exert more force, he saw the little girl pout, looking like she was about to cry.

Upon seeing this, Ning Jing immediately stopped moving.

However, this left him completely trapped on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

Fortunately, the firecrackers outside had stopped, and everyone went back inside to sleep.

Moreover, it wouldn't be too late for her to pull her hand away after the little girl falls asleep.

However, she did not expect that Fu Hongxing would take advantage of her vulnerability.

He reached past the two children, cupped Ning Jing's face in his hands, and kissed her.

He's wanted to do this for a very, very long time.

Ning Jing tried to struggle, but Xiao Ya held her hand tightly!

He could only stand there, stiff and helpless, as Fu Hongxing did whatever he wanted to him.

I kept kissing her until my whole body went limp, and I don't know how much time passed before I realized that Xiaoya had let go of my fingers.

Fortunately, the children hadn't gone inside yet. Ning Jing gave Fu Hongxing a playful glare.

She had no idea how alluring she looked at that moment.

Her slightly swollen red lips made her look even more radiant, her face glowing with springtime beauty, and her eyes filled with alluring charm.

When Ning Jing glared at him like that, Fu Hongxing felt a heat in his lower abdomen, and his eyes became even more intense.

Seeing Fu Hongxing's dangerous gaze, Ning Jing instinctively felt uneasy.

Before he could reach out again, Ning Jing leaped up and darted away like a rabbit.

"Alright, now that we've put all these bamboos away, let's go inside!"

After Ning Jing rushed out, she quickly spoke to the children.

No matter how many bamboos Fu Hongxing cut, it wasn't enough for the children to put them away one by one.

When Ning Jing came out, there were only three or four left on the ground.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. Although the snowfall wasn't heavy, it was still quite cold.

It's not good if the children catch a cold if they stay outside for too long.

Hearing his sister-in-law's words, Tiedan and the others quickened their pace and threw the bamboo they were holding into the fire.

After frying the last batch of bamboo, they reluctantly shoveled all the fire into the stove hole in the fire pit.

After setting off the firecrackers, it's time to keep watch.

However, the children had eaten too much and had been playing wildly with firecrackers for so long.

After sitting down on the kang (a heated brick bed), they began to lean against each other in a daze and fell asleep with their eyes closed.

Ning Jing didn't sleep. She stayed up until almost 2 a.m. before she couldn't hold on any longer and tried to doze off against the wall.

However, this nap lasted a little too long.

And when she opened her eyes, it was already past 5 a.m., but she was already in bed.

Not only her, but several other children, all in a row, were fast asleep.

This must have been done by Fu Hongxing. Thinking of this, she peeked into the inner room but didn't see him.

She quickly got up, dressed, and went outside. When she opened the door, she saw her husband, not wearing a cotton coat but just a vest, shirtless, practicing military boxing in the middle of the yard.

She could feel his radiant heat even from inside the house.

As the snowflakes fell on him, they quickly turned into water droplets, then clumped together and slid off his skin.
