"What is this?" Yun Duo asked puzzledly as she looked at what Bao Ya had dug out.
Baoya looked at the thing in her hand and shook her head. She didn't know what it was.
Yun Duo took it and wiped off some of the dirt on it. She could vaguely see that the bottom was yellow, and the round circle looked like it could be worn on the hand.
Little girls would like this kind of things more, but the bracelet's ring was a little small and she couldn't wear it. Yun Duo had to wipe it carefully again, and then took Bao Ya's little hand and put it on her.
"This looks like a bracelet? It looks pretty nice. Xiaobao, you can wear it first. You can wash it with water when you get home later."
Yun Duo looked at Bao Ya's hand wearing the bracelet and was reluctant to let it go. It was so beautiful~
Baoya looked at the bracelet on her wrist and blinked curiously.
"Sister Xiaobao, Yunduo, have you finished digging?" Boyu said not far away.
"Oh, it will be done soon." Boyu's voice brought Baoya and Yunduo back to their senses. Yunduo responded and continued digging with Baoya.
When they finished digging, the younger ones came over. Some took firewood, some took sweet potatoes, but after everything was ready, they all looked at Yuanbao.
"How do you make fire by rubbing two sticks together?"
"I'll teach you, I can do it." Yuanbao ran over excitedly, then took a branch and put firewood under it and started to turn it like Shen Yibei.
Bowen and Boyu were squatting on the side, watching curiously, and at the same time, they were a little skeptical, thinking that Yuanbao definitely couldn't make a fire like this. However, thinking about Yuanbao's previous promise, it didn't seem to be false.
Several people kept staring at Yuanbao's movements, but after watching for a long time, they didn't see any fire come out.
"Yuanbao, where is the fire you mentioned?" Wenjie asked him in confusion.
Yuanbao was so anxious that his arms were sore from rubbing them for so long. But when he heard this, he worked even harder, saying:
"Ma...it will be fine soon."
The brothers looked at each other. Although they all thought it was impossible to make fire, they did not want to disappoint Yuanbao, so they waited patiently for a while. However, they waited and waited but still did not see the fire. Seeing that it would be dark if they waited any longer, Boyu had no choice but to say:
"Yuanbao, let's go home and start a fire, don't drill
"
Yuanbao was unwilling to give up, his face flushed red: "It's almost there, it will be hot soon."
Song Boyu and Song Bowen looked at each other, and then Boyu went back home to start a fire. They had waited for so long and could not wait any longer.
After a while, the fire for roasting sweet potatoes finally lit. However, it was not Yuanbao who made the fire by drilling wood, but Boyu who started the fire.
A group of children gathered around the sweet potato roasting pit, staring at the fire and the sweet potatoes inside. Yuanbao stood at the back, folding his arms and pinching himself, his pouting mouth so tight that you could hang an oil bottle on it.
"Yuanbao, I'll let you try next time. It's late today, and you can go back and ask Brother Yibei how he made the fire." Bowen said when he saw that Yuanbao was a little unhappy.
Yuanbao's emotions came and went quickly. After hearing what Bowen said, he thought it made sense, so he stopped thinking about it and joined in roasting sweet potatoes.
Especially since I just grilled with Shen Yibei a few days ago, I would occasionally ask how to grill it to make it taste better.
When the sweet potatoes are baked, they are dark outside and have shrunk a lot compared to their original size. That’s why they never mentioned baking sweet potatoes before, because baking sweet potatoes will shrink.
There were four large sweet potatoes in total. Feng Guizhi saw that there were eight of them, so she took four, just enough for the two little ones to share one. So at this moment, Bowen Boyu was in charge of distributing the roasted sweet potatoes.
After each person took half, they could not wait to peel off the skin and eat it. The sweet taste entered the mouth and it was very soft.
Because this baked sweet potato is not often available, the little ones ate it very slowly, savoring it slowly. By the time they finished eating, their hands had turned black.
Yuanbao finished eating his half of the roasted sweet potato, looked at his hands, and thought of Baoya's little clown face last time. His eyes rolled around, and then he suddenly reached out and wiped Baoya's little face again, leaving a black line.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha, little sister Xiaobao turns into a little cat again~" Yuanbao ran away laughing after secretly wiping it.
The other little ones couldn't help laughing when they saw it, and then chased after Yuanbao: "Okay, Yuanbao, you bully your little sister Xiaobao."
"Hahahaha, let's turn Yuanbao into a little cat too."
"Yuanbao, turn into... turn into a little cat... don't... don't run..."
When Yuanbao saw his brothers chasing after him, his eyes widened: "!!!
”
“Ahhhhhhh…”
Boyu and the others caught Yuanbao and gave him a lot of "love caresses", pinching his face into an apple shape. Several people looked at Yuanbao's face and laughed so hard that they covered their stomachs: "Hahahahahahahahahaha..."
Baoya and Yunduo ran over from behind, and when they saw Yuanbao's face, they covered their mouths and laughed.
Yuanbao pouted and frowned, not saying a word. His brothers looked at each other and felt that they had gone a little too far this time and should not have bullied Yuanbao like that.
"Yuanbao, brother is just joking with you, you..."
Boyu went up to Yuanbao and tried to coax him, but before he could finish his words, he saw Yuanbao laughing secretly. Before he could react, he was smeared on the face.
"Hahahahaha, second brother is also a little cat!" Yuanbao wiped it and ran away, with a happy smile on his little face, without any trace of sadness from before.
Boyu and the others only then realized that they had been tricked by Yuanbao, the clever little guy. "Okay, Yuanbao, you were just pretending."
Several people chased Yuanbao again, and they played and fought together for a long time.
Baoya and Yunduo were watching the excitement with their mouths covered. Bowen didn't go over and stayed next to Baoya and Yunduo.
Baoya blinked her dark eyes and looked at Bowen's clean face, then looked down at her black little hands, and then gently left a black line on Bowen's face.
Yun Duo, who was standing next to him, saw this and smeared a line on the other side of Bo Wen's face as well. Then, she and Bao Ya ran away laughing.
Bowen didn't expect that his two well-behaved sisters had actually learned from Yuanbao. They chased after him with a smile and said, "I'll turn you into little cats too."
The kids chased each other for a long time, and only went home together when it was almost dark.
Feng Guizhi went out to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden. When she looked up, she saw that the faces of the little ones in the family were all black. Bowen was okay, with only two shallow marks, but Yuanbao had black finger marks all over his face.
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hey, whose little cats are these?"
Yuanbao saw Feng Guizhi and ran over quickly. He raised his little face and started to complain: "Grandma, look, my elder brother and the second brother bullied me and smeared my face. Look."
Feng Guizhi, who knew the little ones, smiled and asked Yuanbao, "Tell me why they bullied you. If that's the case, I won't let them eat later."
"Because... because..." Yuanbao scratched
I can't explain it. I can't say it's because he wiped Xiaobao's sister first, right?
"Nana, it's because Yuanbao wiped Xiaobao's face first." Seeing that Yuanbao couldn't speak, Boyu said it for him.
Yuanbao didn't dare to stay here any longer, fearing that Feng Guizhi would not let him eat, so he ran into the house: "I, I'm going to wash my face."
Feng Guizhi, Boyu and others couldn't help laughing when they saw Yuanbao running away.
"You guys should go and wash up quickly." Feng Guizhi said to the children with a smile and then went to the vegetable garden.
The children went into the house and fetched water from the well to wash their faces. After Baoya washed her face, she looked down and saw the bracelet on her wrist, so she washed it as well.
After washing off the mud, the bracelet's original appearance was revealed. It was a dark yellow, with two round beads nestled inside and a few decorative patterns. It looked especially delicate and pretty on Baoya's slender, fair wrist, and the bracelet itself was small.
Baoya looked down for a long time and couldn't help but curl her eyes.
"Wow, this bracelet is so beautiful." Yun Duo, who was standing next to Bao Ya, couldn't help but light up her eyes when she saw the clean bracelet in Bao Ya's hand after washing her face.
"What bracelet?"
"Bracelet?" The other children asked in confusion after hearing it, and then they saw the bracelet on Baoya's wrist and came forward one by one.
"Where did you get this bracelet?"
They were so busy roasting sweet potatoes that they didn't notice Baoya had this bracelet on her hand. Especially after washing it, the color was so bright and beautiful that they couldn't remember seeing it before.
"Dig holes and pick up." Baoya said with her big eyes blinking.
"Huh? Did you pick it up when you were digging the sweet potato hole just now? Why didn't I see it?"
"I didn't see it either." Several people scratched their heads in confusion, but asked: "Is this bracelet made of gold? Or iron?"
They had never seen gold before. They only knew that gold was this color when they were in school, but they thought it was unlikely to be gold because their teacher said gold was very expensive.
Feng Guizhi, who had just returned from picking vegetables, heard what the children were saying and looked over there in confusion. Seeing that the children were all gathered together, she asked:
"What are you all talking about? What gold?"
"Grandma, come and see the bracelet that Xiaobao picked up." Yuanbao said hurriedly when he heard Feng Guizhi's voice.
Feng Guizhi frowned and asked, "Bracelet?" Then she walked over.
"Grandma, look, this is it." Yuanbao held up Baoya's hand and revealed the bracelet on her wrist.
Feng Guizhi looked at it carefully, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
