Chapter 262 Skiing
Er Gouzi followed Wan Xingmo into the village. Feeling guilty, he racked his brains to think of a way to avoid a face-to-face confrontation between Wan Xingmo and his mother.
Although the village entrance was not close to the Wan family, the two still arrived at the door of the Wan family.
"Er Gouzi, you go back first. I'm going to go see Grandma Wan. I haven't been back for a few days. I'm afraid they'll be worried. Go and tell them you're safe first. I'll come back to see you later."
Er Gouzi nodded in panic, but he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, Brother Mo was not going to confront his mother right away. He still had some time and could find a solution.
Wan Xingmo did not expose Ergouzi's lies, but touched his head and turned to go next door.
It was almost evening and the aroma of rice was wafting from the Wan family's kitchen. Wan Xingmo smelled it and his stomach began to growl. He hadn't eaten properly all day and his stomach began to protest.
"Mo'er is back. I thought you left without saying a word. You scared me to death. Come in quickly. It's just in time for dinner. I'll ask your second aunt to add a meat dish."
Old Mrs. Wan was watching Xiao Fubao and Xiaolan rolling snowballs under the eaves. When she raised her eyes, she saw Wan Xingmo. She couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth with joy, and her worried mood instantly dissipated.
While pulling Wan Xingmo's sleeve, Old Lady Wan said to the kitchen, "Second daughter-in-law, Mo'er is back, add some meat dishes to the dinner."
"I know, mother." Wan Ersao stretched her head out with a smile, wiped her hands on her apron, and watched Wan Xingmo's back as he entered the upper room.
Wan Xingmo walked to the door and heard Xiao Fubao shouting crisply: "Big brother, come and play in the snow."
Wan Xingmo had just seen the two little kids, Xiao Fubao and Xiaolan, rolling a snowball, but they were pulled away by Old Lady Wan. Hearing Xiao Fubao's cry, Wan Xingmo broke free from Old Lady Wan's hand, turned around and walked over.
Before Wan Xing Mo arrived, Xiao Fubao threw a small snowball at him. Seeing that he had hit the target, Xiao Fubao chuckled happily and pulled Xiao Lan to join him, saying, "Sister Xiao Lan, come on, hit big brother and see who hits the target the best."
Xiao Fubao no longer had any snowballs in her hand, so she quickly grabbed Xiaolan next to her and asked her to throw snowballs too. She had seen children in the village playing snowball fights, but her grandmother didn't let her go out. She thought snowball fights were fun.
Xiaolan looked at Wan Xingmo timidly, not daring to move at all. Her big watery eyes just watched Wan Xingmo getting closer and closer, but she hid behind Xiao Fubao.
Xiaolan was a little timid, especially after her arm was broken by the Jinhua siblings last time. She had some psychological trauma and always stayed away from fights and never dared to get close again.
Seeing that Xiaolan was scared, Xiao Fubao didn't force her. Instead, he quickly spread out his two short legs, stuck out his little butt with great effort, and tried to catch the snowball again.
Because it was cold, Wan Ersao dressed little Fubao so that she was almost round like a ball. She was a chubby little girl to begin with, and it was even more difficult for her to bend down when she was dressed like this. After grunting for a long time, the fingertips of her two little hands could finally reach the snow. Because she used too much force, she almost fell over. Wan Xingmo grabbed the back of the little girl's collar from behind and lifted her up.
Little Fubao was not prepared for someone to mention her like that, and she got so scared that her two short legs kicked wildly in the air, and her two little hands danced in coordination with her screams and squeaks, which made Old Mrs. Wan, who was leaning against the door frame, laugh so hard that her mouth couldn't close. This little devil was finally dealt with today, and the geese and rabbits in the family were usually chased all over the yard by her.
As long as little Fubao was at home, the Wan family's yard was never quiet. Every day there were geese flying and rabbits jumping around. It seemed that the geese and rabbits were like little Fubao's playmates. They ran not far from her, as if they were coaxing little Fubao to play. Old Mrs. Wan just let them do what they wanted, but Wan Ersao had to sweep the yard twice every day.
"Do you want to throw snowballs at me? Big brother, can you play something more fun?"
When Xiao Fubao heard the voice behind him was Wan Xingmo, he stopped struggling and fell into a warm embrace.
Little Fubao quickly twisted his body awkwardly and faced Wan Xingmo, with excitement in his eyes and a happy smile on his face.
"Okay, okay, Fubao likes fun things the most, big brother, tell me quickly."
Wan Xingmo took a look at a wooden board in the yard, put Xiao Fubao on the ground, walked over to pick up the board, found a rope, and after tinkering with it for some time, a simple version of the sled was made.
He also tied a small stool to the sled, then picked up Xiao Fubao and put him down, then picked up Xiaolan and put her behind Xiao Fubao. The two of them were standing close together, one in front and one behind. Xiao Fubao's face showed obvious curiosity, but Xiaolan's face was full of fear. She nervously grabbed Xiao Fubao's clothes and didn't dare to look around. She didn't know what this big brother wanted to do.
Wan Xingmo said to Old Lady Wan, "Grandma, I'll take the two girls out to play for a while. It's not dark yet, so let them go out and have some fresh air. It's hard to stay at home all day."
With Wan Xingmo around, Old Lady Wan was willing to do it. She said with a smile, "Okay, take them out to play for a while. But don't play for too long, as dinner will be served soon."
"good."
Wan Xingmo agreed and walked out, pulling the rope. The simple sled behind him began to slide on the ground. Little Fubao thought it was so much fun that he kept giggling all the way and kept shouting, "Big brother, go faster, Fubao is going to fly."
In contrast to Xiao Fubao, Xiaolan was very timid. If the sled ran a little faster, she would scream in fear. Her little face was pale and her eyes were full of fear. She was afraid that she would fall off by accident. She had to hold on to Xiao Fubao's clothes tightly with her little hands, not daring to relax at all. Her little heart was beating fast and she dared not look around, for fear that if she looked around, she would really fly out.
Ordinary people can't run in the snow, but Wan Xingmo can. He even used some kung fu, lightly tapping the snow with his toes. He moved far away in an instant, and the sled behind him was also carried by him like a speedboat in the snow, running forward at full speed.
Xiao Fubao screamed with excitement, and Xiaolan cried with fear. For a moment, the strange voices of two little girls were heard in the quiet village, which soon alarmed the neighbors.
At this time, everyone was either cooking dinner or lying on the kang to rest, and there was almost no one walking around outside.
The whole village was covered with snow; only the dark brown thatched houses and the khaki adobe walls stood out among the snow.
Some curious villagers and teenagers would stick their heads out to take a look. When they discovered such fun things, their jaws would drop. They never knew that they could play like this in the snow.
They looked at the two little girls sitting on the sled with envy, and for a moment they even forgot the cold.
