On the weekend, Xiao Jiahua suspended all work and returned to Qinghe Village.
The children had no classes in the afternoon, so Cui Lifen took them to the elderly so that they could be taken care of together.
As soon as Xiao Jiahua entered the yard, he saw five or six children chasing and playing, having fun enthusiastically.
Principal Dabao was throwing sandbags with Tiezhu and Tiedan. Xiao Shitou was squatting in the vegetable patch playing in the mud. Tiehua was beside him, reading a book while protecting his younger brother.
As soon as the children saw Xiao Jiahua, they immediately dropped the toys in their hands and surrounded him.
"Mother! Mother——"
"aunt--"
Xiao Dabao was tall and had long legs. He was the first to throw himself into Xiao Jiahua's arms, crying and laughing: "Mom, why did you come back so late? Have you forgotten about us?"
They hadn't seen each other for just a week.
Xiao Jiahua patted his son and said, "How could that be? I dream about you guys every day!"
Little Stone also ran over and wanted a hug, but he didn't have time to wash his hands, and two black mud marks instantly added color to his mother's white shirt.
Xiao Jiahua: If I had known I wouldn’t have changed my clothes before going out today! Return home in glory? Does not exist.
"Stupid Shitou, you've made mother's clothes dirty!" Xiao Dabao felt distressed.
"Mom, I miss you!" Little Shitou didn't know where to put his little hands, feeling guilty and pitiful.
"It's okay, babies, go wash your hands, I brought you something good!"
If the mother/aunt says it’s good, then it must be good. The children are all looking forward to it.
Tiehua was a considerate little girl. She hurried into the kitchen, brought out two basins of clean water, and asked her brothers to wash their hands.
Cui Lifen was in the room coaxing little Tieniu to sleep. When she heard the noise, she hurried out.
She was also very happy to see her daughter back, and kept asking her daughter how she was doing in the city. How long will you be back this time? Is work going well? Are you having trouble acclimatizing?
"Everything is fine. I'll stay for one night and go back to the city tomorrow." Xiao Jiahua asked again, "Where are my father, my elder brother and his wife?"
"They are all farms. After the wheat is harvested, they have to dry it, carry the grain, and deal with the wheat straw. Then they have to plant autumn corn. It's so busy."
No wonder Zhang Hongna weaned Tieniu early. It’s the hottest July, and I’m afraid that taking my baby to the farm will get him sunburned.
"mother!"
"Auntie!"
After washing their hands, the children all raised their hands and waited to receive the treasures.
Xiao Jiahua kept his word and took out five bottles of yellow Shanhaiguan soda from his backpack.
"Soda? Shanhaiguan brand!" the children exclaimed!
Shanhaiguan soda is sweet and sour and has a lot of carbonation.
There are orange flavors and lemon flavors, similar to Fanta and Sprite, and they are very popular in Beijing.
Most rural children have only seen it in advertisements.
The drinks were taken out of the refrigerator. Xiao Jiahua covered himself with a cotton jacket all the way, so fortunately they were still cool.
"Don't worry, everyone has one." She gave them out in order of age, from oldest to youngest.
Tiezhu was the oldest, and he couldn't wait to open the can of soda he received.
"Be careful, there are bubbles!"
Xiao Jiahua reminded me too late.
The soda has been bumpy all the way, and before the aftereffect has worn off, the carbonic acid meets the air and immediately turns into foam, gushing out like a small fountain!
There was no time to dodge and the soda flowed onto my hands. Tiezhu was startled and quickly closed the bottle cap. However, it was too late and only half a bottle of soda was left.
"Wow, aunt, it's all gone!" Tiezhu cried in pain.
