She started shouting from the foot of the mountain and continued shouting halfway up the mountain. In the end, Shen An Ning found the two children in a small bush. Shen Zixi and the little grandson of Uncle Wang's family, who were awakened by the shouting of their names, were still a little dazed when they saw Shen An Ning. They rubbed their eyes, with weeds and petals on their bodies and heads, and were still playing hide-and-seek.
An Yu and An Xuan, who were standing nearby, both had red eyes. God knew how scared they were just now. Although the back mountain was safe, nothing was absolute.
Shen Zixi also noticed something was wrong. She looked at her two aunts and uncle, but didn't dare to speak. She stood there obediently, glancing at her aunt and uncle's reactions from time to time.
"Forget it, let's go home first, Anyu, you hold Xixi." Shen Anning picked up Uncle Wang's grandson Xiaowang, turned around and walked down the mountain. On the way, he met Uncle Wang and his family who were going up the mountain to look for their children.
"Uncle, Xiao Wang is here. Please take him back. He is tired from playing and fell asleep in the flowers."
Returning to the courtyard, watching his brother carry Shen Zixi to the kang in the north room, Shen An Ning took the fire stick into the room, drove the twins out, and sat on the edge of the kang without saying a word, looking at Xixi standing on the kang, and knocked the fire stick on the edge of the kang, making a bang bang sound.
"aunt."
"Don't move, don't come to my arms and act like a spoiled child, stand still first." He carefully pushed Shen Zixi away, controlled her with both hands and made her stand still.
"Baby is wrong, Xixi baby is wrong."
snort.
Looking at the little niece who kept poking her fingers, although Ana Shen couldn't bear to blame her, she still suppressed the softness in her heart.
"What's wrong? Did your aunt tell you to be good this morning? Did you see your little aunt crying? Well, Shen Zixi!"
As expected, all children are afraid of being called by their full names. Looking at the little guy, he stood straight, his hands stopped scratching, his eyes stopped wandering, and he looked like he was about to cry.
"Even though you're disobedient, your aunt can't let you go. From today on, you're not allowed to go out and play for a week, and you can't go to the mountains with your aunt and uncle. Just stay with me in the infirmary and pick beans."
Shen Zixi pouted. She understood and felt unhappy. Before she could speak, Shen Anning said directly: "If you speak, you will not be allowed to go out to play."
Holding Shen Zixi to the east room for dinner, sitting on the stool, Shen Anxuan was still a little worried, worried that Xixi had been beaten. He looked at the little guy several times and was relieved to confirm that there was no problem. "Sister, it's my fault today. My brother and I saw wild hawthorns and wanted to get more. We didn't pay attention to Xixi when we picked them up."
How could Shen An Ning blame her sister? Besides, it's common for children to play around. Today, she mainly wants to educate Xixi and tell her not to leave the "adults". She slowed down her tone and said with some comfort: "It's okay, it's her fault. The wild fruits on the mountain are ripe these days. I'll take her with me this week and punish her by not letting her go out to play. You and your brother can go up the mountain alone."
Doing what you say is a traditional virtue of the Chinese people!
In the next few days, Shen An Ning really didn't let Xixi go out once. Every morning in the infirmary, she was responsible for preparing medicinal materials, and the little guy was responsible for picking beans and counting them. Surprisingly, several children in the village would come to play with Xixi in the morning, and would take the initiative to help when they saw her working.
Several aunts in the village saw their grandchildren coming here, but they didn't stop them. After all, they were still relieved that Shen Anning was doing things!
Shen An Ning really didn't expect Xixi to be so popular. People of the same age or older than her were willing to follow her, play with her, and listen to her unreasonable and blind instructions. She seemed to have the momentum to become the next king of children.
Looking at the children sitting on the mat working very seriously, Shen An Ning went to the kitchen to make some cold cakes with mung beans, adding a little bit of honey, which barely gave them a slight sweetness. This made the group of children very happy, and they kept calling her Sister An Ning.
"Okay, eat quickly. Don't use your hands, okay? It's okay to eat slowly, okay?" Looking at Shen Zixi, his words were very targeted.
"Xixi understands, auntie, I will be obedient."
Soon, the week of punishment passed, and the little guy began to have fun going out during the day again.
As the weather got hotter and the sunlight became more scorching, Shen Anning thought that she had to trick Shen Zixi.
The little girl's skin is so delicate that she has become two shades darker in just this period of time, even though Shen An Ning has taken good care of her sun protection.
Seeing that her niece was no longer fair and tender, she really found it hard to accept it.
After dressing the little guy, Shen Anning thought for a moment and got straight to the point. "Xixi baby, you have to listen to your aunt from now on. You are not allowed to go out to play when it's too hot, do you understand?"
Shen Zixi looked at her aunt, very confused, and shook her head and refused without thinking: "Ennen, Xiaowang also plays, Niuniu also plays."
Speaking of Xiao Wang, Shen An Ning wanted to laugh when she thought of that dark little guy. Under the sun, Xiao Wang's skin was so dark that it glowed, as if it had been fished out of an inkwell.
"Brother Xiaowang is a boy, but Xixi is a baby girl. Xixi is so fair and tender, so pretty. Look at Niuniu, don't you go out at noon every day?" Shen Anning directly lifted the clothes on the belly of the little guy on the kang. The skin color on her hands and belly showed a sharp contrast. She said in a rather regretful tone: "Look, baby Xixi, look for yourself."
In fact, Shen Zixi's arms and face were not tanned very much, but compared with her white belly, the difference was a bit big, so Shen Zixi, who was frightened for a moment, pinched the soft flesh on her belly, raised her head and said very sincerely, "Balala, Xixi, I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore."
Chen An Ning suppressed her laughter, her voice a little buzzing: "We can still go out to play before the sun comes out, and we can also go out after the sun goes down in the evening. However, Xixi will stay at home with Auntie for the rest of the time, okay? Auntie is going to start teaching Xixi to study."
Shen Zixi is a very principled child. She never goes out to play, and no matter who calls her at noon, she stays at home obediently. Although the flowers on the mountain are beautiful and there are many fruits, every time the little girl sees her hands, she shakes her head like a rattle.
Shen Anning was very pleased with this. Even though the yard would be a little noisy during the day due to the arrival of other children, she didn't think it was a big deal. Taking a few children to write numbers on the mud with wooden sticks, this kind of life was also very comfortable.
