When I woke up early in the morning, the yard was covered with a thick layer of snow, and every step I took left a large crater.
Fang Jie made breakfast and instructed the Song brothers, Yaohui and Yaohua, to sweep a path through the yard.
Song Fanxing took a broom and went over to help.
Then Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua stared in disbelief as their delicate and lovely younger sister quickly cleared a path through the yard.
Song Yaohui hurriedly snatched the broom from Song Fanxing's hand.
"Little sister, don't do these things anymore."
"Why?"
"For no reason."
"Then why won't you let me do it? I have boundless energy."
Song Yaohui sighed and said, "Little sister, let Yaohua and I do these chores. You just need to be a cute little baby."
Song Yaohua: "Yeah, little sister, don't do anything, just stay put. Or what do you want to do? I'll make it for you and play with you."
Song Yaohui: "Yaohua is right. You are a little kid now, it's the age to play. Have fun."
Song Fanxing muttered, "I'm not a little kid!"
However, she knew that her two brothers wanted to protect her, fearing that outsiders would discover her strangeness and treat her as a monster.
"Big brother, second brother, don't worry, I'll behave myself when I'm out here."
Then he ran to the kitchen to help Fang Jie hand over firewood.
Fang Jie made scallion and egg pancakes and corn porridge.
They can still enjoy fresh scallions at home thanks to their youngest daughter.
As the weather turned cold, no one in the village went out to work; everyone stayed huddled on their heated kang beds.
The women make clothes and stitch shoe soles; the men smoke, play cards, and boast.
After Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua went to school, Song Fanxing stayed with Fang Jie on the warm earthen bed.
Fang Jie bit off the thread with her teeth and laughed, "Xingxing, come and try on the new cotton-padded jacket that Mom made for you."
Song Fanxing's eyes involuntarily reddened as she looked at the little red cotton-padded jacket in Fang Jie's hand.
She is especially grateful to God for giving her a second chance at life and for giving her such a gentle and loving mother.
I couldn't have been as happy as these past few months, even though I lived for over 30 years in my previous life.
Fang Jie saw that her daughter's eyes were red, her chest tightened, she quickly put down what she was holding and pulled Song Fanxing into her arms.
"My little darling, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Song Fanxing wiped her eyes, raised her little head, and gave her a bright smile.
"Mom, I'm happy. I'm so glad you made me clothes."
Fang Jie breathed a sigh of relief. "Silly child, what's the big deal? If you like it, Mom will make it for you often. Mom will make you lots of clothes so you can't wear them all."
Song Fanxing chuckled and hugged the woman tightly.
She gave her the maternal love she had longed for.
Fang Jie patted her daughter's back, "Come on, try on this little cotton-padded jacket and see if it fits."
"Um."
Song Fanxing climbed out of Fang Jie's arms, and Fang Jie offered to help her get dressed.
She shook her head. "Mom, I can do it myself."
"good."
Her well-behaved daughter is very independent; she can dress herself, put on her own clothes, comb her own hair, and wash her face and brush her teeth by herself. She's much better behaved than the older children in the village.
Song Fanxing put on the little cotton-padded jacket and said happily, "Mom, it fits perfectly, the size is just right, I like it so much."
Song Fanxing has fair skin, and wearing red makes her skin look even fairer and more beautiful!
Fang Jie liked it more and more as she looked at it. "Xingxing is beautiful, she looks good in anything."
"Mom, please don't praise me, or I'll become arrogant."
"Mom's stars are the most beautiful, and she has every right to be proud."
"Hehehe..."
Song Fanxing was wearing a red padded jacket, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
Next, Fang Jie started making them for her two sons, who were currently wearing old cotton-padded jackets to school that were too small.
At the village primary school, Song Yaohua ran to the teacher's office.
"Teacher Zhao! Teacher Li! Song Haitao is fighting with his classmate!"
Zhao Feiyan and Li Weidong immediately followed Song Yaohua to the playground.
Song Haitao, Song Dagou, Song Ergou, and Song Sangou rolled on the ground, fighting amongst themselves, their bodies covered in mud and snow.
Li Weidong: "Song Haitao! Song Dagou! Stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
When the teacher arrived, the four stopped fighting and got up from the ground.
Zhao Feiyan looked at the group seriously, "Why are you fighting?"
None of the four spoke.
Some classmates nearby chimed in, offering their own explanations.
"Teacher, Song Ergou mocked Song Haitao's mother for the day she paraded through the village, and Song Haitao got angry and hit Song Ergou."
"When Song San Gou saw Song Er Gou being beaten, he came over to help beat up Song Hai Tao."
"Song Ergou and Song Sangou couldn't beat Song Haitao, so their older brother, Song Dagou, saw this and came to help."
"Then the four of them started fighting, just like you see."
Zhao Feiyan and Li Weidong were having a headache. These four children were the most mischievous in the class, and they wouldn't listen to anything they were told. They were too difficult to manage.
Li Weidong roared, "You four, go stand outside the classroom as punishment!"
The four of them pursed their lips and lined up outside the classroom.
Ten days have passed, and Old Lady Song still hasn't received the money sent by Song Darong.
Li Zhen and Song Dalong were extremely anxious.
When Song Guoqiang returned from town, he stopped by Song Dalong's house.
"Song Dalong, are you going to buy it or not? I've given you ten days. If you're going to buy it, hurry up. I still need to pay the company accounts."
Song Dalong said ingratiatingly, "Captain, give us a few more days. We'll be done soon, we'll have enough money."
Song Guoqiang gave them a cold look. "I'm not trying to be mean, but you two are perfectly healthy people who spend all day sitting around doing nothing. Now you're worried? Where were you all this time?"
