These three children were studying today when they saw it starting to snow heavily outside. They began to lose focus on their studies, their minds wandering to the snow.
"Hmm, what are you all doing here? Let me tell you, we have an exam every week, and you're not allowed to leave if you don't get good grades."
"Mom, Dad said it's snowing. We can check if the river is frozen over tomorrow." Little Zhu looked at his mother expectantly.
“Then you two study hard. I’ll find you some gloves and hats tomorrow, otherwise you’ll suffer on the ice.”
"I know, the three little kids are grinning from ear to ear when they see that their mother agreed to go and that she'll even make them hats and gloves."
In the evening, Tingting made hats and gloves for them, the old-fashioned kind, but thick enough so the children wouldn't catch a cold.
The next morning, the three rascals went to the ice on the river with Jianjun. Jianjun went down first to test if the ice was solid. It looked okay, so he called the three rascals down.
"Get down, you rascals, sit on this sled, Dad will pull you."
The three sleds were all connected together, so one adult pulling three children could only run together.
"Let's go, run as fast as you can, all of you keep a close watch over this side, you little rascals."
"I heard it! It's ready!" the three children shouted excitedly.
"Ah, ah!" the three children exclaimed excitedly. This was the first time the three children had ever ridden a sled, and they were overjoyed.
Other children passed by, but it was cold and their cotton-padded coats were thin, so they could only watch with envy. None of them had a father pulling a sled, and they were all very envious.
Some of the children gathered together, having all heard the news, and went home to find their fathers.
"Mom, make me a sled, and ask Dad to take me to play. I saw that Zhuzi and his dad take them to play, and I want to go too."
“It’s so cold today, how about I boil you an egg?” Li Dachun said.
"No, I want to go! Everyone else has it, it looks so fun! Let my dad come with me!" Gou Dan started howling.
Guo Jianjun's family is always causing trouble. Seeing his son crying makes him feel sorry for him, and he is even more dissatisfied with Zhang Tingting, who is always making a big fuss in the village.
"Alright, stop crying. I'll make one for you and your brother each tomorrow. I'm going to find your dad."
When Gou Dan heard what his mother said, he smiled happily. Although Li Dachun was not good with words, she really loved her son.
“Honey, our son wants to make sleds. Make two for him, one for Gou Dan and one for Fen Dan. Take them out to play tomorrow.”
"It's so cold today, it's not good to stay at home. Those two brats are always bothering their dad, they never give him a moment's peace."
“This is your son. Jianjun’s family all took their children there, and our son saw it. Other fathers spoil their sons, so what’s wrong with you?”
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away. Make sure the child wears more clothes; it's so cold, don't let the child get cold."
“That’s alright. I’ll go make gloves and hats for the kids right now. You go make the sled.” Li Dachun smiled with satisfaction.
In this village, every father started gritting his teeth. Guo Jianjun led his son to make a sled, and all the children in the family started crying to play with it. There was no way to stop them; they were all spoiled children. This job wasn't difficult, but it was a waste of a father's time.
Zhu, Tiedan, and Shitou have no idea that they have become the envy of all the children in the village.
