Su Mianmian thought that while the two of them were not too busy during this period, they could stock up on more firewood for the family. This way, the winter would be easier and they wouldn't have to worry about lighting the fire and heating the kang.
Winters in the northwest are also quite cold.
By the time Su Mianmian and the others had stockpiled enough firewood, it was already the twelfth lunar month.
At this time, the weather was already very cold, and the whole family stayed on the kang every day and didn't want to move.
The twelfth lunar month is followed by the New Year.
Little Ayan's school finally had its holidays, and the little guy came back happily holding a test paper.
"Sister, do you think your brother is doing well?"
Su Mianmian took it and looked at it, the smile on her face widened, "You are worthy of being my brother, how come you are so amazing?"
As she said that, she cupped little Ayan's cheeks and kissed her twice, "You really made your sister proud!"
Little Ayan's face was blushing. Ever since Jiubao was born, his sister no longer kissed him. It was not that she didn't kiss him anymore, but that he had grown up and men and women were not allowed to touch each other.
This happened suddenly, making Xiao Yan very embarrassed.
"Sister...sister! What are you doing? Ayan is already five years old."
Xiao Ayan pushed Su Mianmian, but didn't move.
Su Mianmian raised an eyebrow, "Tsk! He's not my brother anymore when he grows up?"
Jiubao, who was in Grandma Su's arms, heard the noise and looked over at the two of them. "Ah."
Little Ayan quickly climbed onto the kang and poked Jiubao's fair and tender face, "Little Jiubao, uncle got first place in the class. Isn't that amazing?"
"Ah. Eh."
"You think it's amazing too, right? Oh! Uncle, I'm so happy."
As he said this, he carried Jiubao over.
Grandma Su looked at the two of them with a smile, "Ayan is really amazing! If this happened in ancient times, our Ayan would definitely have passed the imperial examination and become the top scholar. That would have brought honor to our family!"
Little Ayan became shy again. He stopped talking and reached out to poke Jiubao's face for fun.
Jiubao was annoyed by being poked, so he opened his mouth and bit Ayan's finger.
Little Ayan cried out in surprise, "Xiao Jiubao, why did you bite your uncle?"
Su Mianmian was used to it. "Wow! What's the big deal? It doesn't hurt if you bite it because it hasn't grown teeth yet. It's just your saliva on your hand. Just wipe it off and it's done."
Little Ayan retorted, "No, sister grandma, Jiubao bit me and I felt itchy."
Grandma Su was puzzled. "Hmm? Itchy? Is my sweetheart teething?"
Grandma Su looked at Jiubao and made an "ah" gesture, "Come, open your mouth and let great-grandma see if you have any teeth."
Jiubao blinks his big eyes and looks at you cutely, but doesn't open his mouth.
Grandma Su said it again and demonstrated it to her.
Jiubao understood, and she opened her little mouth and exclaimed "Ah".
Su Mianmian also came over when she saw this, and was surprised to see two small teeth growing.
"Baby, you really have teeth, and mommy didn't even notice."
Little Ayan smiled proudly, "Hehe, I'm still the best, right?"
Su Mianmian patted little Ayan's head and said, "Yes, yes, our Ayan is amazing. Today I'll reward you with a chicken drumstick. Your brother-in-law brought back a chicken when he came at noon. It's stewing in the pot now. I'll give it to you when it's cooked."
"Sister~"
"Sister~"
A childish and clear voice sounded, and the three of them looked in surprise at Ah Fu who was sleeping on the other side.
"Wow~ sister~"
Ah Fu cried, and cried very loudly.
Su Mianmian didn't care about anything else and quickly picked him up to comfort him.
"Sister~Wow wow wow."
Little Ayan was extremely surprised, "Sister, Afu can call for help now?"
He heard it right, Ah Fu called me sister.
Su Mianmian seemed to understand and carried him to Jiubao.
When Xiao Ahfu saw this, he stopped crying and smiled in Jiubao's direction, "Sister."
This time it is clearer and the pronunciation is distinct.
Su Mianmian smiled and said to Grandma Su, "Wow, I've boasted about this several times. The first person Sister Xuxu's son called wasn't mom, grandpa, or grandma, but his sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xu came into the house.
Liu Xu looked at Ah Fu in Su Mianmian's arms with a nervous look on her face. "Mianmian, is Ah Fu okay? I heard him crying so loudly outside that it scared me."
Su Mianmian shook her head and said with a smile, "It's okay. He woke up and couldn't find Jiubao, so he started crying. I held him next to Jiubao and he stopped crying immediately."
Liu Xu smiled upon hearing this, "That's right, the two little ones usually sleep together. When they wake up, they hold hands and chat. This time, they must be anxious when they wake up and don't see anyone!"
Su Mianmian nodded, then smiled mysteriously at Liu Xu, "Sister Xuxu, I have good news for you."
"What good news?" Liu Xu was curious.
Su Mianmian: "Your son can speak now."
Liu Xu was a little skeptical. "What? That's impossible? I've been holding him these past few days and he hasn't called me mom."
Little Ayan said, "Sister Xuxu, Afu is not calling mom."
Liu Xu said calmly, "Not mom? Then grandma will do too. My mom often takes care of him."
Su Mianmian shook her head. "The first person your son called wasn't 'Auntie', but 'My Daughter'."
Liu Xu waved her hands, "Wow!" After being surprised for a while, she understood, "That's not surprising. The two kids are as close as a pair of pants. When they couldn't talk, they held hands and chatted happily."
Liu Xu said with a sour tone, why not mom?
Su Mianmian nodded in agreement when she heard her say that. Then, remembering something, she said uncertainly, "My daughter can talk now. Will she call me brother first?"
Willow catkins were no longer sour. Thinking of that scene, they raised their eyebrows and smiled, and felt gloating.
“It’s very likely!”
Xiao Ayan interrupted the two of them and said, "No, the first one should call uncle."
After that, he held Jiubao in his arms and taught her, "Jiubao, read with me, uncle."
"Yeah."
"No, it's my uncle."
"ah?"
"Uncle! Jiubao~"
Su Mianmian and Liu Xu widened their eyes.
Liu Xu took her son from Su Mianmian's arms and said, "Mianmian, your brother is very cunning."
Su Mianmian nodded in agreement.
"No, I can't lose to him." Su Mianmian's desire to win was aroused.
She leaned over and said, "Jiubao, read with mommy, mommy."
"Ah." Little Jiubao was unhappy and frowned.
Su Mianmian smoothed her voice and continued, "Jiubao, read with me, Mom."
Jiubao stretched out his hand to cover her mouth to stop her from speaking, but his arm was too short and he didn't touch Su Mianmian. The little fat girl was so angry that she started spitting bubbles.
But the unscrupulous brother and sister didn't have this awareness, and they taught the little fat girl one sentence at a time.
Grandma Su and Liu Xu looked up at the sky in silence.
Just when Jiubao was about to cry, Grandma Su slapped each of her grandchildren.
"What are you two doing? My little darling is only a month old, and you expect her to talk? Don't mess with me."
After saying that, he held Jiubao in his arms and patted her gently to comfort her, "Don't cry, dear! Great-grandma will beat them both for you."
