When spring planting began, Xu Ning carried the small wooden bed to the yard and placed three toffee candies in it.
She was busy working in her private plot while watching the three of them.
"Mother,"
When she was shouted at for the first time, before she could react, Niu Niu shouted again.
She ran over in surprise and asked, "Niuniu, what did you just shout? Shout again."
Niu Niu clapped his hands and shouted with a smile, "Mom, Mom, Mom."
Pipi, who was standing next to him, saw his brother calling for his mother, so he followed suit, “Mom, Mom.”
Xu Ning happily kissed them both on the face and said with a smile, "Niuniu and Pipi are so well behaved. They both call me mom now."
The two boys hugged her neck and giggled.
She looked at Tangtang who was sitting next to her. The little guy was grinning at them.
Xu Ning's heart softened instantly. She picked up Tangtang and said with a smile, "Tangtang, are you hungry? Mommy will make some steamed egg custard for you."
The little girl looked at her and giggled. Niu Niu and Pippi saw their mother hug their sister, so they crawled over to hug Tangtang. The four of them were having a great time.
Xu Mo came back from the fields and first came here to take a look at the toffee.
When Niupitang saw him, he happily crawled over here, but he was not as fast as his two brothers.
Niu Niu and Pippi stood up by holding the bed rails and kissed him on the face.
Xu Mo blocked them with his hands and said anxiously, "Ouch, Niu Niu, Pi Pi, your saliva is all over my face."
Niu Niu and Pippi didn't understand what he was saying, so they stretched out their little hands for him to hold them.
Xiao Mo hugged the two of them perfunctorily and then let go.
He turned to look at Tangtang and said with a smile, "Come here, niece, let your uncle hug you. I haven't seen you for a day, and I miss you so much, Tangtang!"
Tangtang smiled and stretched out her hands. Xu Mo picked her up and walked around in the yard. Tangtang giggled happily.
Niu Niu and Pi Pi were not happy, and they cried in their cribs, "Mom, Mom."
Xu Mo heard it and asked in surprise, "Sister, did you hear that? Niu Niu and Pi Pi are calling you. They can talk now!"
Xu Ning nodded and smiled, "I've been calling you mom all day, and this is the only word I can say."
Xu Mo held Tangtang in his arms and walked over to praise the two boys, "Niuniu and Pipi are really capable. They can even talk now! Come on, call me uncle and let me hear it."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Call me uncle."
Xu Ning's heart ached when he heard this. He walked over and said with a smile, "Niuniu, Pipi, this is your uncle, call him uncle."
Xu Mo disagreed and said, "Sister, they are so young and they don't know how to avoid people when talking. What if someone hears them?"
She smiled and consoled him, "It's okay. We don't have many people coming here, and you're not here every day. I'll tell them when they're older."
It is already 1976, and the college entrance examination will be next year. Her parents will probably return to the city before the exam. When Niupitang can speak fluently, they will be able to recognize each other openly.
After hearing this, Xu Mo happily said to Niupitang, "Call me uncle, but only at home, not when there are people around."
Tangtang was still just smiling, and Niu Niu and Pipi both shouted, "Mom, Mom."
He spent a long time teaching the two boys but still couldn't teach them to call him uncle. He said disappointedly, "You are so stupid. You can't even call me uncle. I love you so much!"
After that, he picked up Tangtang and went to play again. The little girl hugged his neck and suddenly shouted, "Mom."
"Hey, my niece can talk now, sis. Did you hear that? Tangtang is calling you."
Xu Ning came out of the kitchen, picked up Tangtang, and said with a smile, "My daughter is really capable. She can talk at such a young age. Play with your uncle. Mom will cook meat porridge for you in the evening."
Niu Niu and Pippi on the small bed saw that no one paid attention to them, so they sat there playing with their feet.
When Xu An came back from get off work and just walked into the house, Niupitang saw him and shouted happily, "Mom,"
Xu Ning put the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "I just learned to call you mom today, and I call everyone by that name.
After work, Xiao Mo started to teach them to call him uncle. After teaching for a long time, they didn't learn anything. He was so angry that he didn't even eat and went back to the cowshed. ”
Xu An laughed and said, "Niupitang is only nine months old, it's good enough that he can call mom. Some children can't even call out anything when they are over one year old.
Sister, why are you digging again today? Didn’t I tell you that I would dig the land in the yard after I get off work? ”
“I didn’t have much to do at home, so I put the three of them in their cots and dug a little.
After dinner, go fetch a few buckets of water. I will plant the vegetables tomorrow. The earlier they are planted in the fields a few days, we can eat the vegetables earlier. ”
"I understand sis."
After saying that, he remembered that his salary was paid today, so he took the money out of his pocket and gave it to Xu Ning.
Said, "Sister, this is my salary for this month, please keep it."
Xu Ning said, "Xiao An, you are an adult now, so just keep your salary for yourself. You don't have to give it to me every month."
Xu An stuffed the money into her hand and said, "Sister, I'll leave it with you. I'll ask you for it when I need it."
From the moment he received his first month's salary, Xu Ning asked him to keep it for himself, but he refused to agree no matter what he said.
I'll just have to keep it for him first and give it to him when he needs it.
