Chapter 55: One Kick, One Big Ma
The next morning, Zhao Zhilan, Yun's Erlang and Sanlang got up as usual to make tofu.
He Chunxiu and Li Rongyue still had one making breakfast and the other helping to grind tofu. Dalang went to the fields, and Wang Cailian got up to lead the donkey, feed the pigs and chickens.
The children who could have slept in were woken up by their particularly self-disciplined older brother.
Yun Chengfu was wearing the long gown he wore in the private school, standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, watching his younger brothers and sisters rubbing their eyes and queuing up to wash with sleepy looks on their faces.
"A day's plan begins in the morning. After breakfast, let's continue practicing calligraphy." Yun Chengfu said.
Baoya was the youngest and was the first to finish washing, followed by Yunyue, Yunhua and Yun Chenglu.
After washing her little face and hands, she wiped them clean with a towel, then stood in front of Yun Chengfu and stretched out her hands to show him: "Brother, I've washed them all."
"Okay," Yun Chengfu touched her little head, "Go to the main room and wait for breakfast."
Baoya nodded obediently and stood at the door waiting for Yunyue. Yunyue also finished washing, and the two little girls stood there waiting for Yunhua.
After waiting for a while, the three little girls held hands and went into the main room and sat in a row.
It was Yun Chenglu's turn. He finished washing up and yawned. When he looked up and saw his elder brother standing next to him, he was startled and his sleepiness disappeared immediately.
"Brother, you scared me!" Yun Chenglu looked at Yun Chengfu with a bitter face, "You said you finally came home, why did you bother us and yourself?"
"Teaching you to read is for your own good." Yun Chengfu said with a stern face, like a little teacher. "You complain about the hardship and tiredness now, but sooner or later, you will cry and scream for learning to read."
"Tsk," Yun Chengfu curled his lips in disdain. "That's impossible. My head hurts just looking at those little cubes now. How could I possibly be crying and shouting about learning?"
Yun Chengfu didn't argue with him, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, I'm going back to Ping'an Town this afternoon, so you should practice calligraphy for me later."
Yun Chenglu's little face drooped as expected.
Yun Chengfu looked at him and said, "You're not going to start crying now, are you?"
"Is it too late to cry now?" Yun Chenglu curled his lips, "I won't learn from you even if I cry and scream, big brother!"
The children got up early and the adults were very happy. He Chunxiu had a little trick up her sleeve and made fried cakes with brown sugar filling for the five children.
Then, as usual, everyone had a bowl of sweet soy milk, and everyone ate until their bellies were round.
Xiao Baoya ate five fried cakes in one breath, which made Yun Chengfu want to stop her.
"Aunt San, is it really okay for Baoya to eat like this?"
Yun Chengfu held up the fried cake he had just snatched from Baoya, "It's not that I don't want to give it away, but it's very uncomfortable for children to eat so much."
He Chunxiu wiped her hands with a rag and said with a smile: "It's okay, Baoya has a big appetite, she's afraid that if she eats less, she won't have enough."
Xiao Baoya's face turned red when she said that, and her two short legs swayed: "Mom!"
She has a big appetite, but she is also very strong, but her family doesn't know it.
Seeing that He Chunxiu was so sure, Yun Chengfu stopped trying to stop her.
He had only heard that Baoya was a big eater before. When she came home and had a few meals with the whole family, he didn't pay much attention.
He didn't discover it until this morning when the kids were eating at the same table.
The little girl ate with great relish and quickly, like a little rabbit, with her cheeks bulging. In no time, she had eaten a whole fried cake.
He looked at Baoya's white and tender little hands, taking one from the plate, then another, and began to count involuntarily.
When I counted them, wow, five of them went in.
He and Chenglu were full after eating three, but Baoya ate five and still wanted more!
At this time, Yun Chengfu handed the fried cake back to Baoya and said with a smile: "Since Third Aunt has given her permission, Big Brother won't stop you."
Baoya took the fried cake, took a bite, and said incoherently, "Thank you, Big Pot (Brother)!"
Yun Chengfu found her amused and asked, "How many more do you think you need to eat to feel full?"
Xiao Baoya ate a few bites of the fried cakes in her hand, glanced at the plate where there were still a lot of fried cakes, hesitated for a moment, and weakly stretched out four fingers.
Yun Chengfu: ...
He was thinking too narrowly...
"But I've had enough now!" Baoya clapped her hands and drank the soy milk in front of her. "It's not good to eat too much."
She is a big eater, but not without restraint.
After finishing the soy milk in the bowl, Baoya touched her round belly and burped: "Burp~ Big brother, second brother, third sister, fourth sister, you guys take your time eating, I need to go to the toilet."
After saying that, he stood up and walked away with his short legs.
Yun Chengfu: ...
Yun Chenglu: ...
Yunhua: ...
Yunyue: ...
"Are you sure she's not overeating?" Yun Chengfu asked.
Yun Chenglu, Yun Hua, and Yun Yue all shook their heads: "It's really not!"
They have all seen how big Baoya’s appetite is!
In the yard, the adults were still busy making tofu.
After the beans were ground, Wang Cailian opened the front door, led the donkey out, tied it in the straw shed at the door, and let it eat some grass and wheat straw.
After she tied up the donkey, she left the door ajar and went back to the main room.
Little Baoya came out with her short legs and called out sweetly when she saw her, "Good morning, Auntie!"
Wang Cailian also responded with a smile.
At this time, the front door of the Chen family was opened a little, and Chen Xiaojuan changed into her old clothes, tiptoed out, and walked around to the front door of the Yun family.
It was still dark outside and the sky was grey, but objects could be vaguely seen, and human figures could be seen a few steps away.
As soon as Chen Xiaojuan left, a tail followed her.
She pretended not to know and ran all the way to the front door of the Yun family, peeking inside through the crack.
The front door of the Yun family was ajar. When she ran over, she knew it was the donkey as soon as she saw it. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she did not forget to peek at the Yun family making tofu.
The Yun family made a lot of tofu, so they set up a big pot in the yard. Chen Xiaojuan peeked in while carefully observing whether Baoya was there.
When it gets a little brighter, the tofu pudding in the pot is taken out and put into molds to be pressed into tofu blocks.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaojuan quietly left. She pretended nothing had happened and walked towards their Chen family, but in fact she did not go far. She turned the corner and hid there.
After a while, the tail behind her really came.
Chen Chengcai quietly walked to the front door of the Yun family, looked around, and saw no one. Then he felt relieved and followed Chen Xiaojuan's example, peeking inside through the crack of the door.
Chen Xiaojuan stood at the corner of the wall, her mouth almost open to the sky.
She seized the opportunity, gathered all her strength, rushed behind Chen Chengcai, and kicked Chen Chengcai in the butt with all her strength.
"Ouch! Mommy!"
Chen Chengcai was caught off guard and was kicked forward by her.
The Yun family's half-closed front door was immediately pushed open by him.
Chen Chengcai stumbled and fell directly into the Yun family yard, falling flat on his face!
