After being brought out by Ning Huan, Zhou Jing'an saw the silvery-white snow scene outside and immediately fell silent.
She's right, such scenery is soothing to look at.
Ning Huan and her four little ones wanted to build a snowman in the yard, so she started rolling snowballs back and forth in the yard, and the four little ones followed behind her rolling small snowballs as well.
Before long, they had piled up snowballs into the shape of a snowman. After Ning Huan made the snowman's two hands, she took a carrot from the kitchen and put it on the snowman's head to make a nose.
Then they took two buttons from the sewing box in the house and put them on top as eyes. The four little dumplings opened their mouths wide. They never expected that they could use these things to decorate the snowman.
And looking at it this way, the snowman seems even more interesting now; their mother is truly amazing.
After the snowman was finished, Xiao Sanbao saw the remaining snowballs and picked one up, throwing it at Xiao Erbao. Xiao Erbao covered his bottom, turned around, and saw Xiao Sanbao giggling.
Seeing the happy-looking little third child, the second child rolled a small snowball on the ground, intending to throw it at the third child. However, his hand trembled, and the snowball hit the first child squarely on the head.
Da Bao held a small snowball in his hand, intending to throw it at Xiao Er Bao, but unexpectedly threw it at Xiao Si Bao instead.
And so, the snowball fight between the four little ones officially began. Because the fourth little one was still too small to beat the eldest, Ning Huan would occasionally help her throw a few snowballs.
The courtyard was filled with laughter and joy. Watching Ning Huan and the four little ones playing together, Zhou Jing'an was unconsciously infected by the scene before him and also revealed a gentle smile.
He thought to himself, "Isn't this exactly the kind of home I want for the future?"
His wife is sensible and understanding. He doesn't need her to have an outstanding family background or appearance. She is devoted to the children and spends time with them, showing them love and care. On snowy or rainy days, they can brew two or three cups of tea and drink them together. He could live such a life for a lifetime without ever getting tired of it.
After they finished playing in the snow, Ning Huan quickly cooked a bowl of ginger tea for each of them. It was cold outside, and they needed to drink a bowl of hot ginger tea to warm themselves up after playing in the snow.
Then Ning Huan took out the cotton-padded jackets that she had already sewn for them. The four little ones were stunned when they saw the cotton-padded jackets that Ning Huan gave them.
"Mother, is this for us?"
"Mommy, this cotton-padded coat looks so thick and warm!"
The four little ones had been wearing the thick clothes sewn by Ning Huan for a long time, and they couldn't believe that Ning Huan had sewn them for them. Now they were even more surprised to see the cotton-padded jackets.
Ning Huan patted their little heads and said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you get cold like before in the future."
Besides the four little ones, Ning Huan also bought Zhou Jing'an some thick clothes.
In fact, Zhou Jing'an didn't lack clothes, but Ning Huan noticed that his clothes were all old or torn.
There were many patches, and the messy stitches on the patches made it clear that Zhou Jing'an had sewn them himself.
Zhou Jing'an was also somewhat surprised that Ning Huan would prepare clothes for him as well. He didn't say anything, but he was secretly pleased.
Seeing how happy the four little ones were, Ning Huan decided she should discuss with them about going to town after the New Year.
Ning Huan was worried that the four little ones would be very resistant to going to town, so she wanted to take advantage of their happy mood to have a good talk with them.
As expected, the four little ones' expressions changed when they heard that Ning Huan was going to town. They then tentatively asked, "Mother, are we going with her?"
"Mother, are you going too?"
"Mother, will we live with Father?"
"Mother, will you come with us?"
They weren't worried about anything else, but the last time Zhou Jing'an and Ning Huan had a falling out over divorce made them a little scared, and they still felt that their parents might separate and abandon them in a couple of days.
Seeing the four little ones asking so worriedly whether Ning Huan would come along, Zhou Jing'an and his companion knew that their previous agreement to divorce later was indeed true.
"Of course I'm going with you. I'll open a small shop in town and earn money to support you."
"Let's all live together in a big courtyard house, where everyone lives together."
Guang Ninghuan's words weren't enough, so the four little ones looked at Zhou Jing'an. Only after receiving nods from both their parents did they feel relieved.
Zhou Jing'an continued, "You're almost at the age where you need to start school. I'll teach you to read during this time, and after the New Year, you can go to the town's academy to study."
The four little ones were overjoyed to hear that they could go to school in town, especially with their parents by their side.
Seeing that the four little ones were very happy, Ning Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that the little ones wouldn't want to go to town, but now it seemed that she had been overthinking it.
Once she gets to town, she'll try to earn more money so that she can support her four little ones when she leaves with them after Zhou Jing'an's divorce.
Thinking that Zhou Jing'an would agree to let her take the four little ones with her, her gaze towards Zhou Jing'an softened considerably.
When Zhou Jing'an saw Ning Huan's eyes, he was stunned for a moment. He hadn't seen Ning Huan look at him like that in a long time. He had previously thought that Ning Huan had let go of her feelings for him.
Seeing the concern in her eyes now, doesn't that mean she hasn't completely let go of him and still likes him as much as before?
Thinking of this, Zhou Jing'an felt a little happy, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
Ning Huan noticed Zhou Jing'an's sudden smile and found it odd. Was this man really that happy raising four little ones?
The four little ones had no idea what their parents were thinking; they were just very happy to know that their family was moving to town.
Because Ning Liang had visited a few days ago and talked about some family matters, Ning Huan planned to go back in the next couple of days to visit the Pang family before the Lunar New Year.
After Ning Huan mentioned this at dinner, the four little ones immediately started clamoring to go back with her: "Mommy, we want to go with you too!"
"I want to see Grandma too, Mom, please take me with you!"
"Me too, me too, I miss my grandma too."
"I want to see Grandma too, and Mommy, I want to go with you!"
Seeing that the four little ones all wanted to go back with her, Ning Huan agreed: "Alright, after dinner you can pack your things and we'll go back together tomorrow."
Upon hearing Ning Huan's agreement, the four little ones cheered happily.
