In the early morning, the sun slowly rises in the east, and the golden sunlight hits the mountain, reflecting a red color. It is autumn again.
Smoke rises from the small kitchen, and the people in the kitchen have been cooking breakfast there since early in the morning. Egg pancakes are baked in the pot, and the stove is slowly simmering. The pancakes are fried in oil and soon emit a strong fragrance.
The child sitting in front of the stove looks at the fire seriously, smells the smell of pancakes, raises his head to look at the pot, swallows his saliva, and his eyes are full of "want to eat".
Looking at the egg pancakes gradually taking shape in the pot, Cao Xiangnan scooped up a small piece with the spatula in his hand, tasted it himself, said "hmm", scooped up another small piece, and shouted, "Xiangzi, come and taste it to see if it tastes good."
He did not miss the child swallowing his saliva while looking at the pot just now. A smile flashed in Cao Xiangnan's eyes. When he got up early in the morning, the child also got up, followed him, and now went into the kitchen to help him watch the fire. He is a good child. Thinking of not
being at home for a long time, he also felt guilty towards the children in his heart, so he wanted to make a delicious meal for the children at home, as a compensation for the little guys, and also let the little guys be happy when they see the delicious food when they get up later.
Seeing his uncle calling him, Xiangzi raised his head and saw the cake in front of him. He wanted to reach out to take it, but found that his hands were black from holding firewood. Cao Xiangnan also saw the child's hand, smiled, stretched out his hand to pick up the egg cake on the shovel, put it to his mouth and blew it, then passed it to him again, and said "ah", indicating the child to open his mouth. As soon as the child opened his mouth, he stuffed the egg into the child's mouth and asked, "How does it taste?"
"Good, delicious." Xiangzi lowered his head, and the child was a little embarrassed to be fed by his uncle at such a age.
Cao Xiangnan glanced at the shy child, and the smile in his eyes became more obvious.
The little guy sleeping on the bed in the room woke up, sat on the bed with messy hair, and his little face was wrinkled. He sat there for a long time, obviously really woke up, and then reached out to push the other one who was still sleeping, calling him to get up.
The child who was woken up was not annoyed, and got up from the bed in a daze.
The two children who climbed down from the bed helped each other to put on their clothes. The two children couldn't tie their own buns at this time, and walked out of the house with messy hair.
As soon as he walked out and smelled a familiar fragrance, the expression on An An's face froze. He identified the source of the fragrance and ran to the place where the fragrance came from.
Standing at the door of the kitchen, An An saw his father.
"An'an!" Cao Xiangnan turned around and saw his little brother standing at the door. He put down the shovel in his hand, turned around and strode towards his little An'an. He picked the child up and kissed him on the face. Seeing that the little boy was still in a daze, he obviously hadn't digested the news that his father had returned.
"Dad is back, why don't you recognize Dad?" He asked with a smile.
"Dad..." An'an hugged his father's neck, buried his head in it, and burst into tears.
It can be seen that he really missed his father!
"Oh, why is Dad's little An'an crying?" Cao Xiangnan was a little amused for a while. Knowing that they were not at home, the children must have missed him, and now they cried when they saw him.
After coaxing the child, he did not forget that the pan behind him was still frying pancakes. He turned around with the child in his arms, holding the child in one hand and shoveling the pancakes in the other hand, "An An, look, daddy prepared your favorite egg pancakes for you. Look, crying children don't get egg pancakes."
An An turned his head to look at the egg pancakes in the pan, his attention was on the egg pancakes. When he heard his father's words, he immediately stopped crying, reached out and wiped his face with his sleeve, and said, "An An didn't cry."
Didn't cry? The voice was still crying, and Cao Xiangnan didn't want to expose the lies of his baby An An.
The child who followed from the back door took a timid look and saw his elder brother inside. Xiangzi also found his younger brother, and Xingxing went inside.
Cao Xiangnan did not miss the little guy who came in. He put down the baby who was not crying in his hand, reached out and touched the head of the child who came in from the back, and asked, "Have you two washed your face and brushed your teeth?"
"...No." The two children said in unison.
"Then go brush your teeth and wash your face, and then find your mother to braid your hair for you." Cao Xiangnan reached out and rubbed the yellow hair of the two children, knowing that the children could not braid their own hair and needed adults to help.
Mother? ! When Anan heard about Mother, he ran away without his father's coaxing.
Xingxing, who was behind, also looked at his uncle and elder brother, and then ran behind Anan. He also missed his mother. At this moment
, Qi Wanfeng had just wiped the butt of little Baoer who had just pooped in the room, put on his pants, put the child on the bed, patted his butt and crawled away, sitting on the bed with his lips pursed and looking at him warily.
At this moment, the door was opened from the outside, and he saw his little An An standing at the door looking at him.
"An An!" Seeing the children wake up, Qi Wanfeng's face lit up with joy. He went to see the two children when he got up in the morning. Both children were still sleeping in the room and had not woken up yet. Seeing the children now, Qi Wanfeng was really happy.
"Come, let Am hug you." He opened his arms, waiting for the children to come over.
The two little ones on the bed looked at the door at the same time, Lele had a blank expression on his face, and little Baoer looked confused.
The next moment, Cao Ruian ran to his mother, threw himself into her arms, and shouted, "Mother!"
"Hey, mother and father are back, and the two younger brothers are back too." Qi Wanfeng picked up the child and finally held his An An in his arms. "Mother has been thinking about you all the time. Does An An miss mother?" he asked.
"Yeah." An An nodded seriously.
Seeing the little guy running behind him, Qi Wanfeng put An An down from his arms and picked up the other timid little guy, his eyes full of pity.
"Hey."
The little Baoer sitting on the bed saw that his "mother" hugged this and that, but not him, so he crawled over dissatisfiedly to compete for affection, and cried "Ah ah..." as if inviting a hug.
Hearing the noise behind him, Qi Wanfeng turned around and saw that Xiao Bao had crawled to the bed. He quickly put the one in his arms down and walked over to hug Xiao Bao. He saw that the little guy looked at the two little brothers with a wary face, as if he was afraid that the two little brothers would come and snatch him away, which made him smile helplessly.
When Xiao Bao went out, he was still young and didn't remember much. Now that he came back, he had forgotten his brothers at home and felt unfamiliar with them. Lele was better, and it was obvious that he still remembered his brothers.
It was easy for children to get familiar with each other. They became familiar with each other after playing together for a while.
When Cao Xiangnan came to call everyone to have breakfast, he saw several children playing in the living room. He met those smiling eyes and looked at the person who was looking at him. He walked towards Qi Wanfeng and said with a smile, "Breakfast is ready, come and have breakfast."
"Okay." Qi Wanfeng nodded and called the children to have breakfast.
When they heard that there was something delicious, An An took the lead and ran with Xingxing. Xiangzi stayed behind to help his mother hold A Di. Cao Xiangnan knew the weight of the fat boy Lele and asked, "Can you hold Lele?"
"Yes." Xiangzi held A Di tightly with both hands. His father and mother were not at home, so he followed them to the foot of the mountain to pick fruits. He could carry a basket of fruits at a time by himself, and he had no problem holding A Di.
Lele was holding his face with a frown, and his small body was held by the half-grown brother, for fear that he would fall to the ground.
That was very painful!
On the table was a sumptuous breakfast, the result of Cao Xiangnan's busy morning work. Seeing the children eating hard, he felt deeply satisfied. He rolled up a pancake with shrimp and lettuce inside. He took a bite himself and passed it to Wanfeng to take a bite.
"Ah..." Xiaobao saw it and opened his mouth to eat.
"Really, you want a share in everything." Although he said this, Cao Xiangnan still tore off a little egg pancake for Xiaobao to eat. After taking a bite, Xiaobao opened his mouth to take a second bite, perhaps because it tasted good. Then the little guy who was responsible for feeding this little guy fed him.
"Dad, I want it." An An also came over to ask for it. Cao Xiangnan rolled a pancake for the child and handed it to him.
Nothing can make people feel warm and happy more than seeing the children and the evening breeze by their side, the children making noises around them, and the whole family together. This is the feeling of home. No matter
how good it is outside, it is not as good as being at home.
Before they finished their breakfast, they heard someone coming in outside the door. Cao Gang came with his two little boys. He invited the father and his two sons to sit together, and Cao Xiangnan rolled a pancake for each of the two little guys.
The two brothers ate without hesitation. They ate like wolves and tigers. I don't know if they didn't eat enough at home. However, it is more likely that the pancakes are too delicious and they can't stop eating them.
Even Cao Gang, the father, ate the pancake rolled in his hand in silence after taking a bite. After finishing one, he rolled another one for himself. When he saw that his little boy had no more pancakes in his hand and looked up at him, he did not forget to roll another one for his boy.
"Go, study hard." After breakfast, the children also had to go to the academy. Cao Xiangnan touched the heads of several children and told them to go to the academy and study hard with the teacher, but did not send them to the academy.
Several children chased each other and ran to the academy.
Watching the children leaving from behind, Cao Xiangnan called Cao Gang to go in together and said, "Come on, brother Cao Gang, let's go in and sit inside."
The two of them went in together.
