"Goose, goose, goose, neck curved towards the sky, singing; all the white feathers plucked, all the red feet braised."
While Qin Shou was lost in thought, Yi Cheng and the others returned.
They all craned their necks and shouted like ghosts, each holding a plump white goose in their hand. The chubby little guy at the back was holding a rope with a flock of white geese tied to it. He puffed out his chest and raised his belly, dragging them up the mountain with great arrogance.
Qin Shou watched this scene... He felt that he should compensate the white goose clan in the mountains.
"Third Martial Aunt, Third Martial Aunt is back!"
Warmth ran out of Qin Shou's arms and ran towards Yi Cheng.
"Hey, hey, hey... Xiao Nuan, didn't you want to eat braised goose in an iron pot? I've caught a goose for you."
Yi Cheng held up two large white geese in front of Xiao Nuan and shook them, her eyes wide open in a surprised expression.
"Wow! Third Master Aunt, you're amazing!"
Xiao Nuan clapped her little hands loudly.
At this moment, Little Fatty squeezed past Black Rabbit and jumped out.
"Look, Xiao Nuan, I was even better than Yi Cheng today! I caught six big white geese! Hehe."
The chubby boy pursed his lips smugly.
I was thinking to myself, "Little Nuannuan, come and admire me!"
"one two three........ "
Warmth counted carefully, then looked up and stared at the chubby boy with her big, innocent eyes, saying in a clear voice:
"Auntie Little Fatty, there are seven big white geese!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
The chubby boy immediately waved his hand confidently and said, "I counted six, seven, eight, and nine times; there's no way I could have miscounted."
"But...but..."
Looking at Auntie Xiaopang's confident appearance in the sunlight, Wen Nuan didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only scratch her little head and count again.
"Squeak, no need to count anymore, there are six. Xiao Nuan, you're still little, it's normal to miscount. You won't miscount when you grow up."
At this moment, Black Rabbit jumped out and said.
“Black Rabbit is right.” Little Fatty nodded in agreement. “It’s okay, Little Nuannuan. I’ll teach you to count from now on. Don’t learn from my sister. Although she’s very smart, she can’t count.”
"???"
Upon hearing this, Wen Nuan became even more confused.
So he could only look to the Qin beast for help.
In her eyes, her master was omniscient and omnipotent.
Seeing this, Qin Shou chuckled, pulled Xiao Nuan to his side, and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Nuan, your Third Aunt and Auntie Xiao Pang can't count, but if you expose them, they'll cry."
"Understood, Master. Then I won't expose Auntie Little Fatty."
Her big, warm eyes sparkled, and she clapped her little hands quickly.
"Wow! Auntie Little Fatty, Uncle Black Rabbit, you're amazing!"
"Hehehe... Hmph, that's right."
The chubby boy proudly put his hands on his hips.
"Squeak! Xiao Nuan admires me too! Xiao Nuan admires me too!!!"
Black Rabbit was so happy it felt like it could take flight, hopping and skipping around the small courtyard on the hilltop, its tongue lolling out wildly.
......
noon.
The snowflakes on the mountaintop were sparse.
Everyone gathered in the courtyard to eat stewed goose in an iron pot.
Yi Cheng was delighted and even fed some goose meat to the geese kept in the yard, hoping to fatten them up before eating them.
"Goose, goose, goose..."
One of the geese kept flapping its wings and squawking. Yi Cheng thought it was provoking him, so he grabbed it by the neck and threw it into the big black pot.
"Goose! Goose! Goose!!"
Upon seeing this, the other geese immediately lowered their heads and began to eat.
Oh my god, it smells so good!
...
Half an incense stick later.
Warmth is full.
He wiped his mouth, washed his hands, and then sat obediently on a small stool, counting how many geese were left.
"Xiao Nuan, eat more."
Seeing this, Yi Cheng added a few more pieces of goose meat to Nuan Nuan's bowl, and also gave Nuan Nuan the goose leg that Xiao Pang liked the most from his bowl.
Little Fatty glanced at it, pouted slightly, and then quickly lowered his head again, gnawing on the meat with a fierce expression, venting his frustration on the goose meat in his bowl.
There was nothing she could do; she couldn't beat this big fat guy, and she couldn't win an argument with him either.
"Third Aunt, Nuannuan is full."
A warm and friendly refusal.
"Nonsense!" Yi Cheng immediately raised an eyebrow. "You've only eaten so little, how could you possibly be full?"
"Good girl, little Nuannuan, listen to your Third Aunt. Eat more meat. Only when you're full can you have a little belly like the geese, and only then can you become as cute as the geese."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes."
Little Fatty and Black Rabbit nodded in strong agreement.
"But... Nuannuan really can't eat anymore."
Wen Nuan pouted, looked up at Yi Cheng, and then at Qin Shou.
"It's alright, as long as you're full."
Qin Shou stroked the little girl's head.
He didn't want Xiao Nuan to grow up like these little idiots—gluttonous, lazy, fat, stupid, and stubborn.
"Burp~, delicious~"
After a hearty meal, everyone lay down under the eaves to watch the snow.
Xiao Nuan also joined the ranks.
At first, Xiao Nuan was unwilling. She wanted to sleep in her master's arms after eating, but her third master said she was afraid she would get moldy if she didn't get some sun, so she took Xiao Nuan out to sunbathe every day after lunch.
Over time, Xiao Nuan got used to it.
"Xiao Nuan, tonight I'll go to that leopard-print grandma's house and squeeze some milk for you to drink."
After the meal, they started chatting about everyday things, saying a few words here and there.
Wen Nuan tilted her head, "Third Aunt, Nuan Nuan is three years old already, she stopped drinking breast milk a long time ago."
"No, you can't drink it." Yi Cheng comforted her, "It's okay, if you can't finish it, the goose will help you drink it. It won't be wasteful, goose, goose, goose..."
"Hey, hey, hey... Third Aunt, it's you who wants to drink breast milk, isn't it?"
Warm and playful, she stuck out her little tongue.
"No...no goose."
Yi Cheng is still vehemently denying it.
But Xiao Nuan, who knows this routine well, is already used to it.
The little guy watched for a while, then fell asleep under the eaves, hugging the golden tiger.
She was lying on a fluffy snow fox blanket, and holding Big Orange in her arms, it was so warm.
It was afternoon.
The snow gradually stopped.
After a good night's sleep, the little guy rolled over and got up, leisurely stretching his little arms and legs.
Then he saw Yicheng and the others throwing snowballs in the yard, so he happily ran into the yard and joined the battle.
He was still shouting.
"Nuan Nuan is here! Nuan Nuan will be paired with Third Master Aunt."
"Squeak—!"
The black rabbit protested, "Why? My great rabbit is amazing too!"
"Giggle, giggle!" The little guy giggled, peeking out from behind Yi Cheng. "Because my third aunt is big, she can help Nuan Nuan block snowballs!"
"Hehehe... Don't worry, Xiao Nuan, you'll hide behind the goose. When the goose puffs out its big belly, it'll bounce their little snowballs back!"
"Hehehe, Third Aunt is awesome! Nuannuan is cheering for Third Aunt!"
"Hehehehe...hehehehe..."
Just as Yi Cheng was feeling smug, Da Bao darted out from the bamboo forest and launched a sneak attack from behind. With a "whoosh," a small snowball accurately hit Xiao Nuan on the head.
"oops. "
Xiao Nuan swayed slightly, then lay on the snow and burst into tears, a small bump swelling on the back of her head.
Upon seeing this, Yi Cheng immediately ran down the mountain.
Only Da Bao was still jumping around excitedly, humming and whining.
Then--
Yi Cheng didn't dare go home until nightfall.
Da Bao was hung from a tree and his bottom was spanked with the sole of a shoe for the entire afternoon.
