Lin Yi's expression was indescribable. "This...does Sister Xia Xia know?"
"Know what?" Mo Guanshan had already laid out the bunk beds when Ningxia came in.
"Mo Guanshan!" Ning Xia was furious after seeing the scene in front of him and walked over to him, "What are you doing!!"
Mo Guanshan looked innocent. "My brother and sister are getting older. It's not good for them to sleep in the same bed. The children's room is too cold. I'll move the bunk beds over here so they can sleep separately."
"You! You...you're sick! Spring is almost here, are you sick of moving around so much?"
Mo Guanshan looked hurt. "Ningning...you...are you...never mind...it's okay. I've put the iron bed in the children's room, and I'll sleep there...let the younger siblings sleep on the bunk beds. Curly isn't little anymore, it's better for him to be independent sooner rather than later."
Ningxia was speechless, "Are you acting pitiful again?"
Mo Guanshan bared his big white teeth, his eyes full of smiles, "Really not! What kind of environment haven't I slept in these two years? It's really no problem, it won't make me cold."
As he spoke, he opened the closet, took out the mattress and quilt, folded them together, then turned around and picked up a blanket. With quick movements, he piled them together and carried them out.
Ningxia grabbed him and snatched the quilt from his hand, her eyes full of anger.
"I give in, I really give in!" he said in an exasperated tone.
Mo Guanshan raised the corners of his lips quietly, but for a moment, his expression became confused. "What's wrong, Ningning? Don't feel burdened. I'll just wait a little longer, until... you're willing... We still have a lifetime to go, so there's no rush."
Ningxia was about to say something when she turned around and met Lin Yi's innocent eyes.
Her ears turned red. "Sleep wherever you want, you lunatic! Come out and eat!" She said that and turned to leave the room.
Mo Guanshan stayed in the room, covering his forehead with his hands and laughing so happily. His Ningning was still so cute.
"Brother Mo, are you still moving? I'll help you."
Mo Guanshan glanced at him, tactless, "What do you think?"
Lin Yi touched his head innocently, "Oh."
Even though Ningxia seemed unwilling, Mo Guanshan still slept on the big bed as he wished.
Lin Yi tactfully took Sangsang to sleep on the upper and lower bunks temporarily. Sangsang wanted to resist, but she really couldn't resist the temptation of the upper bunk.
After Sangsang chased Ningxia and said several times that she would spank her and Mimiyan, Ningxia finally couldn't bear it anymore and beat her up lightly. Only then did Sangsang finally realize that Mimiyan seemed to be really going to become her brother-in-law.
Fortunately, none of the embarrassing incidents that Ningxia was worried about happened. Mo Guanshan slept unexpectedly well in the big bed.
Mo Guanshan finally received Lin Yi's love sweater not long after. He took it with a smile and it was obviously a couple's sweater with the same one as the one Ningxia was wearing.
Afterwards, he trained Lin Yi even harder. Lin Yi didn't know whether it was good or bad, but his physical fitness in all aspects was steadily improving.
Apart from the occasional chaos and turmoil between Sangsang and Mo Guanshan, the family of four had a warm winter.
One day, Ningxia was woken up by the heat. When she got up, Mo Guanshan had already gotten up to cover the two children with quilts, and he had also extinguished the only remaining fire barrel in the room.
Ningxia casually wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Spring is quite late this year, but it's finally here."
Mo Guanshan smiled, went to bed and hugged her, "Yes, spring is finally here." Those two annoying little guys can finally move out.
No matter how reluctant Sangsang was, Mo Guanshan still drove her and her bed to the children's room. Spring had just arrived, the snow had melted, and the temperature was not warm yet.
Fortunately, the bed was thick, and Sangsang and Lin Yi adapted well without catching any colds or fevers.
Ningxia pushed open the gate and looked at the green scenery that had reappeared outside the forest, feeling relieved.
Before she could stay at home and be lazy for a few more days, Mu Yuanqing came to her house with Liu Qingtian and Liu Ximu.
"Oh, we've finally made it through this winter. Qingtian has caught a cold twice! He hasn't eaten much either, and even Qingtian, who's not a picky eater, has rebelled several times."
Ningxia smiled and pinched Liu Qingtian's face, "Little girl, don't learn from your sister Sangsang, who has a bad temper.
It's good that spring has arrived, I can send the kids out for some fresh air. I'm so tired of them staying home all day!"
Sangsang rolled his eyes and took Liu Qingtian to play with his monkey brothers. This winter, the two monkeys had gained a lot of weight, and their fur had become a little shinier.
"I'm here to talk business. Xixi and I have taken a look and decided to cultivate some land and grow some crops so we don't have to spend money to exchange them outside.
When are you going to sow the seeds? Let's do it together. Xixi and I don't know how to farm, so we need your advice."
Ningxia nodded. "Tomorrow is fine. Mo Guanshan is on vacation, so we don't have to go to the military camp for the time being. There are a lot of weeds growing on our land again, so we need to clean it up before we can plant seeds."
Mu Yuanqing nodded quickly, "Okay, we'll come over tomorrow. I'll have to ask Xiaoyi to look after Qingtian."
Ningxia nodded. "Since the adults are here, let's take the children to the fields to have some fresh air. It's a good opportunity for them to see what it means to have every grain of rice harvested earns its due hard work." Ningxia said this and looked at Sangsang meaningfully.
"Some people in my family don't eat vegetables or fatty meat. They just want candy every day. Their teeth are almost falling out. They'll even have trouble speaking."
Sangsang quickly covered her mouth, "Xia Xia, you're lying! The book says it will grow!"
Liu Qingtian was curious and wanted to reach out to pry open her mouth to take a better look. The little bully who was fearless at home was scared back by Sangsang's eyes.
Liu Qingtian was reluctant to leave, so Mu Yuanqing sat for a long time and rejected Ningxia's invitation to stay for dinner before leaving with Liu Qingtian still tossing in his arms.
The two families worked hard for several days before they finally cleaned up the two fields, but before they had time to sow seeds, the accident happened.
"What are you doing?"
Ningxia looked at several strange men standing on the edge of the field with large and small bags. Thinking that they were right at the doorstep, she didn't bring a gun with her, but just put a crossbow on her waist.
Mo Guanshan took Lin Yi to the mountains to practice crossbow. It was still early and Mu Yuanqing and his family had not arrived yet.
Those men didn't look young, or perhaps it was the hardship of survival that made them look less young.
Several people saw Ningxia, who was dressed neatly and had a tall figure. Although she looked a little cold, she was still a cool beauty.
Several ragged men looked at Ningxia with surprise in their eyes. There were young women in this shabby place!
One of them, a man in his early thirties, stepped forward and said, "Sister, do you live in District 1 too? My name is Hu Hua, you can just call me Brother Hu.
We brothers have just moved here! Don’t we like this piece of land? We are just about to clean it up and plant seeds! We have come from far away, so if we don’t work hard, we will starve to death.
Ningxia sneered, "Sowing seeds in someone else's soil?"
The man named Hu Hua laughed heartily. "Sister, what are you talking about? There are no seedlings or seeds in this soil, so how can it belong to someone else? Isn't it ownerless?"
