Looking at the boy's somewhat dejected shoulders, Mo Yutong suddenly reacted, rushed forward, hugged him tightly from behind, and rubbed her cheek against his straight spine.
"Brother Li, it's all true!" Jiaojiao's voice trembled on the skin through the shirt, making Yan Mingli's heart skip a beat.
The uneasiness in his heart disappeared instantly. He pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He couldn't help but hold her hand, and his eyes gleamed for a moment: "Wait for me, at most three months, I will never let you down!"
Three months? The curse of reincarnation that never changes in past lives?
"Well! I'll wait for you!" With her hands held down by him and her range of movement limited, Mo Yutong could only touch his lower abdomen.
After being gently touched by her soft hands for a few times, Yan Mingli felt an impulse going deep into his body.
"Okay! I'm going to work." He stiffly let go of her hand and took two steps with his hands and feet.
Suddenly realizing his own gaffe, the boy immediately covered the water bottle on his waist, and ran out of the yard with his cheeks flushed.
Watching his back disappear at the gate of the courtyard, Mo Yutong laughed so hard that she fell backwards. How could her boy be so charming!
The two children who were peeling lilies were stunned. Their eldest brother was chased by a tiger.
Bamboo shoots, yam, eggplant, tomato, cowpea, pumpkin, egg...
The three of them carried the cloth bag into the kitchen together. The two children continued to pick lilies in the yard, while Mo Yutong stuffed a small amount of vegetables into the cupboard like an ant moving house.
As for most of the remaining things, they were placed in cloth bags, but in fact they all entered the space.
It's so hot, it can't stand being put down!
After the lilies were picked and dried in a winnowing basket and everyone washed their hands, Mo Yutong moved the table clock and placed it on the small round table.
She decided to teach her two children how to tell time today, so she opened the small wooden door behind the desk clock, took down the pendulum from the recess in the door and hung it up, and then took down a copper key with two ears.
"Our day has 24 hours, each hour has 60 minutes, and each minute has 60 seconds. This, called a desk clock, is specifically designed to help us tell time."
"Sister, there are two eyes here, what are they for?" Yan Mingxue pointed to the two spring holes on the clock face, her eyes full of puzzled little stars.
Opening the front mirror door, Mo Yutong explained carefully, "The left side is the mainspring hole. Once tightened, it will chime the hours and half-hours. The right side is the movement mainspring. Once tightened, the hour and minute hands will move."
"Come on, let's insert the key into the small hole on the right to make the needle move, okay?" Mo Yutong stuffed the key into Yan Mingxue's hand, and then took her to turn it hard in the hole of the clockwork spring.
Yan Mingxue's eyes suddenly widened, and she watched excitedly as the originally still minute hand trembled slightly.
"Sister, sister, it's starting to move, but why is it moving so slowly?"
"Because it's the minute hand, it takes one minute to move this small space." Mo Yutong has always been very patient with children, except for naughty children like Li Tiezhu.
"Chengcheng, let's try it too, okay?" Mo Yutong handed the ear key to Yan Mingcheng and asked gently.
"Sister, okay." Yan Mingcheng happily took the key, inserted it into the spring hole very carefully, and learned to turn it to the clockwise until he could not turn it anymore.
"Look, after tightening it like this, we won't have to wind it up for fifteen days." Mo Yutong took the key and put it through the back door. Then he stood up and said, "I'll get the watch and we'll adjust the time together."
Taking out the watch that had been kept in the velvet box and had not been worn, Mo Yutong sat back on the stool and looked at the two children. "It's 1:56 pm now. Let's start adjusting the minute hand."
"Sister, why don't you screw this hole?"
"Because it rings a bell to tell the time, it also rings at night and disturbs us when we sleep."
"Sister, is there an hour between these numbers?"
"The hour hand is one hour, and the minute hand is five minutes."
"elder sister……"
"elder sister…"
Faced with a table clock they had never seen before, the two children kept asking Mo Yutong questions like a hundred thousand whys.
Mo Yutong was not annoyed. She answered every question in detail, making sure that her words would not cause any ambiguity that the children could not understand.
The two children did not disappoint Mo Yutong and Nuan Shuchang's sincere teachings, and accepted the baptism of new knowledge seriously.
There were constant sounds of explanations in the yard that made people feel like they were in the spring breeze, but outside the yard there was a scorching hot wind that blew through the yard towards the ramie forest, rolled up the corn leaves, and then blew freely into the threshing ground.
The team leaders and scorekeepers of each production team had already taken their positions, except for Nie Hongshan from the third production team, who was alone, wearing a half-worn Zhongshan suit and a worker-peasant hat, smoking a pipe.
Not long after, Zeng Heping walked out of the brigade headquarters angrily, and the work points book in his hand was thrown into the air.
He walked straight up to Nie Hongshan and said with a stern face, "I've already reported this to Secretary Wei for approval. We'll have a meeting this afternoon to select the scorekeepers!"
Seeing Accountant Zeng's unhappy look, the members didn't dare to say anything.
Although the brigade has the brigade leader Sun Chenghong and the brigade secretary Wei Zhengmao, sometimes they are not as good as the brigade accountant Zeng Heping.
Why? Because the team leader and team secretary have a large group of people watching closely, and they want the predecessor to leave quickly to make room for themselves.
However, accounting has its own professional barriers. Most people would like to do it, but they just can't. Just pulling out the abacus beads can stump a lot of people, not to mention the hand speed and eyesight required.
