Xiao Yuehua looked at the kerosene in the glass bottle and asked Xiao Ping'an curiously, "Brother, why is the flame so big? Isn't there less kerosene in it?"
Xiao Pingan thought for a moment and said, "It's getting smaller, but it's decreasing very slowly, so we can't notice it. Don't stare at it. Do something else and then come back to look, and you'll see that it's getting smaller."
Xiao Yuehua blinked and asked Xiao Ping'an, "What should we do? It's late at night and we can't go out to play. How about we take out the candied lotus root you hid and eat it?"
Ping An shook his little head like a rattle and quickly denied it, "There is no sugar lotus root. Don't talk nonsense. I don't hide things. It's not me."
"You're so stingy." Xiao Yuehua pouted. "Daddy brought back some candied lotus roots today and gave each of us a little. I saw that you didn't finish it and hid it in your little box."
Ping An was exposed by his sister. He was upset and was about to get up to get the sugar lotus root. Luo Xiaomei put down the clothes she was mending and stopped him, saying, "Don't take it. Keep it for yourself and eat it slowly.
You can’t ask for other people’s food if you finish yours in a flash. Your father gave you both the same amount. Your brother is taller and eats one more bowl of rice than you. Why should he have less snacks than you?”
Xiao Yuehua wrapped her whole body around Wang Zheng and was unwilling to get up. Wang Zheng had no choice but to hold her and walk back and forth in the room. After a while, Xiao Yuehua finally woke up.

Wang Zheng put the bamboo strips and knife in his hand into the basket, sighed and said, "It's late at night, let's eat tomorrow. I'm already full from dinner, it's not good to eat more, and it will be troublesome to rinse my mouth later."
So the little pig ran over to find the person with the red sleeve tie."
Xiao Yuehua cheered and moved her mouth vigorously, making a clicking sound. After a few seconds, she opened her mouth to Wang Zheng and said, "I've finished eating. I can rinse my mouth and go to sleep."
If I were caught and sold, wouldn't I never see my mother again? What should I do then?
Xiao Yuehua was young, but she was very perceptive. She knew that she would not be able to eat sugared lotus root tonight, so she nodded helplessly and agreed, "Okay, rock sugar is fine, but I want bigger ones."
Xiao Yuehua thought for a moment and asked, "Does the story contain math problems?"
Xiao Yuehua is a little weak in mathematics, and Wang Zheng often incorporates arithmetic problems into stories. Often, halfway through a story, an arithmetic problem pops up and has to be solved before the story can continue, so Xiao Yuehua asked this question.
Luo Xiaomei curled her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't. After so many years, she would probably not oppose Wang Zheng's decision, even if she disagreed with it.
The little pig kept walking and thinking. After a while, she saw a person with a red sleeve tie on her arm.
Wang Zheng took the glass jar and scooped out two rock candies with a spoon. Xiao Yuehua picked up the bigger one. Wang Zheng handed the spoon to Ping An. Ping An happily picked up the rock candy and put it in his mouth, saying with a smile, "Thank you, Daddy."
Xiao Yuehua moved the rock candy in her mouth with a crackling sound and rolled her little body back and forth in Wang Zheng's arms. Although she didn't say anything, she was obviously not happy with what her father said.
Wang Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "You're welcome. My sister is young, so don't bother with her, but you can't indulge her either."
Wang Zheng thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Then Daddy will give you a small piece of rock candy. You can hold it in your mouth and let it dissolve slowly, but you must rinse your mouth later. How about that?"
Xiao Yuehua smacked her lips and said, "But I want to eat candied lotus root now. My mouth has no taste and I can't sleep without eating something sweet."
Wang Zheng smiled, cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and said, "Once upon a time, there was a little pig who got separated from her mother and couldn't find the way home, but she didn't dare to ask anyone.
Ping An nodded and smiled, "I know, don't worry, Dad."
At the same time Wang Zheng got up, Luo Xiaomei also got up. After they both got dressed, Wang Zheng brought the vegetable oil lamp to the outer room. After lighting the kerosene lamp outside, Luo Xiaomei started cooking while Wang Zheng continued to cut bamboo strips with a knife.
Ping An and Luo Xiaomei curled their lips at the same time. Wang Zheng gave a bitter smile and said to Luo Xiaomei, "Then let's take a break. It's almost time anyway."
After a good night's sleep, Wang got up before daybreak the next day and lit the vegetable oil lamp. The faint light was just enough to provide illumination without being too glaring.
At this point, Wang Zheng's voice was already barely audible, and the intermittent breathing sounds around him proved that his family members had fallen asleep.
Well, it's pretty much like watching TV commercials.
She had heard her mother say before that people wearing red sleeves and those wearing crowns and hats were all good people, and that they could be asked for help if there was anything they needed.
After taking care of the two little ones and rinsing their mouths, Wang Zheng waited for the family to fall asleep. Then he pushed the lid on the oil lamp. Without the oxygen supply, the oil lamp gradually went out. Taking advantage of the remaining light, Wang Zheng lay down. Xiao Yuehua immediately rolled over, hugged Wang Zheng, and waited to hear a story.
Wang Zheng picked up his daughter and hugged her, saying, "Be good, Daddy will be busy for a while. When you finish eating the rock sugar and rinse your mouth, you can go to bed. Daddy will tell you a new story today."
Xiao Yuehua pouted and climbed into Wang Zheng's arms, "Daddy, mom and brother bullied me."
Wang Zheng smiled and said, "No need to do math problems today."
After it was bright, Wang Zheng returned to the house and woke up the two little ones. Ping'an was able to dress himself.
Wang Zheng did not indulge his children in snacks. He just brought some back from time to time to share with the two little ones.
"I don't have to go to school today, why don't you let me sleep a little longer?" Xiao Yuehua kept complaining while receiving Wang Zheng's service.
Wang Zheng helped his daughter put on her thick clothes, and then while combing her hair, he said, "Didn't I tell you before that you should develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, so that you can do things while it's still light?
It is enough to sleep that much in a day. Even if you don’t do anything else, you can use the rest of the time to play. How boring is it to sleep all the time? "
"But it's so early, and there are no kids out to play."
After tying the red hair string, Wang Zheng picked up his daughter, held Ping'an's hand, and walked out of the house, saying, "After dinner, Daddy will take you to fly Kongming lanterns."
