Although the children were small, they were many in number. Soon, all the wood was spread out on the open space, and Chunxiao had also distributed the last part.
"Aunt, your yard is so big, even bigger than ours. Why don't you start a vegetable garden? When the vegetables grow, you can sell them and make money."
"I think you should build a pigpen. You can make money by raising pigs."
"We need to raise chickens. We can also sell their eggs for money."
The children started discussing with each other, and each of them was worried about her life.
"I'm so happy you're here to see me, but I don't have much here. I'll have to come and see you from now on." Chunxiao felt a little apologetic. Her nieces and nephews were all very well-behaved, and she wanted them to be happy every day. Unfortunately, her own life was just beginning, and her future depended on fate. She didn't dare to make any promises. "Did you tell Mom and Dad about coming here?"
"They know. Grandma asked us to see if there's anything wrong with you."
"Oh, it's not a problem. You're wrong. Grandma wants to see if there's anything wrong with Auntie."
"Same idea."
"That's not the meaning."
"Okay, no more quarreling." Chunxiao smiled, but Zhou was still worried. "Auntie is fine." Looking at the sunny weather outside, she said, "Come over here. Auntie's place is big. Let me teach you a game."
When they heard that their aunt had a new toy, their eyes lit up. "What new game is it? Is it fun?"
"Eagle Catches Chickens, you've never played it before." She looked at the children with pretended mystery, and when she saw the children looking at her eagerly, she burst out laughing, so she began to explain the rules of the game to the children.
"Listen clearly, I am an eagle now. If I catch the chicks behind my tail, they will be punished and then become eagles to catch other people. Let's begin." Chunxiao's speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making the children nervous. The chicken captain Yan Shuwen kept reminding Shufeng at the back door of the tail to hide well, but Chunxiao was an adult after all. No matter how well they hid, they could not escape the fate of being caught.
From time to time, the big place could be filled with the screams and laughter of children.
The group of people played for a while, "Okay, okay, Auntie is sweating, let's stop playing, or we'll catch a cold if we get caught in the wind." But the children refused, "Auntie, then you go and rest, we'll play by ourselves."
Chunxiao then sat on a piece of wood nearby and watched them. "What do you usually do for fun?"
"We usually work, and when we have free time, we go fishing with Brother Xiaojun and the others." The children were busy running, and their words were muffled by the wind.
"Play for a while and take a break. Don't keep running." Seeing that they were having fun, she stood up, dusted off the dust on her body and went back to the yard. She forgot to build a clothes drying rack in the yard. She had to go to the mountain to cut some bamboos to build a few racks tomorrow. There were no trees in the yard. If there were trees, it would be great to build a swing.
She looked back and saw that her parents had also fenced her off.
Apart from the toilet in the corner, it was also a large area. She hadn't noticed the back of it before. If she had noticed, she would have built a shed there. The empty area here was probably left for her by her parents to grow vegetables. She looked at it and found that this area could be used to make charcoal for her. After the wood was dried for a day, she could start trying it in the evening. The first batch should not be too large to see the effect first.
She walked around the house again, and when she came out, the children had finally calmed down and were sitting on the wood to rest.
Chunxiao walked over with a smile, "Are you sweating? Auntie told you not to run all the time."
"Aunt, this is so fun. It's so nice here." Yan Qi grinned at her.
"Auntie, this place is big and convenient for playing."
"Auntie, it's because others don't like this that she doesn't live here, but you think it's good. Not bad, you have the same taste as Auntie," Chunxiao touched Duo'er's back, "Look, it's all wet. It's getting late. Let's go home and ask your mother to change your underwear, otherwise you will catch a cold."
She held Pan'er in one hand and Xiaoqi in the other, and walked towards the village with a few people.
"Auntie, aren't you afraid that someone will take away your wood?"
"There aren't many people coming here, not even the villagers. But Auntie has to come back immediately after dinner to guard the place. It's called being on guard against others."
When Tian saw her coming back with five children, she said, "They said they were going to see you, but they didn't come back all morning. I was thinking if they didn't come back, I should find someone else."
"Sister-in-law, they just played at my place and their backs are wet with sweat. Please tell them to change clothes or wipe them off. I'll send Pan'er and the other two over first." After saying that, she took Duo'er and the others to the next yard and repeated the same words to Zhang.
During lunch, Yan Bangfa and the others came back. They had been to the fields today. The soybeans in the fields were ripe now, and they would prepare to harvest them in the next few days, so they had to go and check on them every day.
"How was your stay yesterday?" Yan Bing asked.
"I'm fine."
"When we went there today, my aunt worked for half a day. She was doing fine." Shuwen joined in.
"What are you doing at your aunt's place? You haven't come back for a long time. Have you helped your aunt with work?"
"Yes, we helped Auntie dry the wood. Auntie taught us to play games. It was fun. We will go again in the future."
"Let's go help pick soybeans tomorrow. You've been thinking about playing all day." Yan Dashan looked at Chunxiao and said, "If you need any help, tell me now. Otherwise, I won't be able to spare any time in a couple of days. After we pick the soybeans, we have to start preparing the land."
