When Han Wenyu was one year old, her two older brothers were three and a half years old.
They can now dress themselves, brush their teeth, wash their faces, and wash their own trousers and socks. They also follow Su Xieqiu to work in the fields every day, and bring back insects and grasshoppers to feed the chickens.
Now they have four chickens at home. Because they are well taken care of, the four chickens lay eggs every day. This is all thanks to An An and the twins.
An An is six years old this year, and Su Xieqiu plans to send her to school after the New Year.
The little girl is very capable now. Although she is only a few years old, she can already cook some simple meals, clean the house, and help her younger sister wash clothes and diapers.
He also made Haohao and Xuanxuan obedient, and they dared not go west when he was told to do something. In front of his two younger brothers, he was more effective than Su Xieqiu.
Chenchen is four months away from turning nine and is also a capable child.
Now I am in the second grade of the team's school. I study very well and always rank first in every exam.
Every day after school, he would help with housework and tidy up the private plot. During holidays, he would go to the fields to earn work points. He was very sensible.
It is now the spring of 1975. The brother and sister came here in the fall of 1970, so it has been almost five years.
Grandma Du got up very early and was washing the family's clothes in the backyard.
Su Xieqiu was cooking in the kitchen. An An came over with sleepy eyes, her mouth pouted, and sat in front of the stove door, looking angry.
"What's the matter? Who offended you?" Su Xieqiu asked with a smile.
An An snorted and started to complain, "Aunt Su, my brother and brothers are so annoying. They don't sleep well at all. They kicked me several times throughout the night, and just now Xuan Xuan kicked me in the face and woke me up."
The little girl pouted and said, "I don't want to sleep with them anymore."
Su Xieqiu laughed: "So that's what happened. You can just bear with it for a few more days, or move into my room and sleep there first. When your uncle Han comes back from his business trip, I'll get you a separate room."
She and Han Zhenyu had discussed this long ago. An An is old enough now and really can't always sleep with several boys. It's time to sleep in separate beds.
Although the kang in that room is wide enough and the room is big enough, An An is a little girl, so she needs to be given a private space.
Han Zhenyu meant to use wooden boards to separate one-third of the room.
Let An An sleep in the small room inside, and Grandma Du and a few boys sleep outside, so there is no need to make a separate kang.
An An asked happily, "Aunt Su, really, I will sleep in a room by myself from now on?"
"Yes, An An is a grown-up girl now. She must separate from those brats."
Su Xieqiu put the washed eggs in the pot and said with a smile, "Your uncle Han and I have been thinking about this for a long time. We were going to clean up the utility room for you to live in, but there were too many things in it, and there was no kang in that house, so your uncle Han said he would separate a small room for you."
"Okay, okay, a small room is great, I like it." An An danced with joy, hugged Su Xieqiu's waist and acted coquettishly, "Aunt Su, you and Uncle Han are so nice."
Su Xieqiu tapped her forehead and said, "Although it's a small room, Aunt Su will help you decorate it beautifully."
"Thank you, Aunt Su."
"Okay, stop acting like a spoiled child. Hurry up and light the fire. We still have to go to work after dinner." Su Xieqiu smiled and patted her on the head.
"Yes, Aunt Su." An An took the firewood and lit the fire very quickly.
Su Xieqiu smiled, took a basket and went to the woods outside.
She was going to dig some wild vegetables for a cold dish, and by the way, she wanted to see if there were any mushrooms.
Now is the season for eating various wild vegetables, and there are tender wild vegetables everywhere in the fields.
Su Xieqiu likes to eat these and will dig some back whenever he sees them.
"Sister, you got up so early?"
When Zhao Yingchao opened the door, he saw Su Xieqiu digging wild vegetables in the woods. The basket next to him was almost full.
"I just got up too." Su Xieqiu put a mushroom in the basket and asked him, "Yingying, where are you assigned to work today?"
"Weeding in the bean field, sister, how about you?" Zhao Yingchao yawned and stretched his muscles, looking like he was still sleepy.
"I was also weeding, but in the cornfield at the entrance of the village."
Su Xieqiu has not worked in the past few years. Because her children are young and the family has enough food, Han Zhenyu does not allow her to work.
Now that the twins are older, Su Xieqiu wants to train them. In a few years, they will have to move to the city, and they may not have much time to come back.
Let them experience the hardships of farmers now and let them live a hard life so that they will know how difficult life is.
Su Xieqiu doesn't want his children to become people who eat meat in the future.
Therefore, she decided to let her children participate in some labor within their capabilities from an early age and let them interact more with others.
Only when you enter society in the future will you be able to deal with all kinds of people and things, and be able to protect yourself from wind and rain.
Seeing that the basket was full, Su Xieqiu decided to stop digging.
She asked Zhao Yingchao, "Yingchao, this wild vegetable is very tender, do you want to take some to eat?"
Zhao Yingchao was not polite. She grabbed a handful and said, "Sister, let me take some. Roger hasn't finished the noodles he made last night. It's just right to make noodles with some wild vegetables and an egg in the morning. It will be a nutritionally balanced breakfast."
"Okay, go back and do it quickly. It's getting late and you have to go to work after eating." Su Xieqiu smiled and waved at him, then went home.
Xiang Guoqiang returned to the city last year, and now Zhao Yingchao and Luo Jie live in this yard.
After several years of getting along, the relationship between the three families has become better and better.
If one family eats something delicious, they will send a bowl to the other two families. If there is anything in daily life, they will help each other.
