"Jingjing, I heard from Yikuan that this typhoon is quite big."
He Zhaodi recalled a year when there was a big typhoon in the countryside. Not only did the house leak, but several bricks and tiles were also blown away.
She still remembers it vividly.
Alas, this typhoon is yet another disaster for farmers in the countryside.
“We have a place to shelter from the wind and rain in the family compound, but most farmers in the countryside live in thatched huts, and we don’t know what their situation will be like.”
Su Jingjing couldn't help but sigh. Her abilities were limited, and she could only take care of her own little family.
At this very moment, the nearby villagers are braving the wind and rain to add more layers of straw to their roofs, firstly to prevent leaks, and secondly to make them more sturdy.
Around six o'clock in the afternoon, the wind outside seemed to get stronger, and the trees outside the window were swaying violently, with fallen branches scattered all over the ground.
An'an and Yuanyuan curiously peered out the window, listening to the howling wind outside, their fear growing stronger.
"Sweeties, come help Mommy get the bowls and chopsticks."
The two children came running over excitedly, and they clearly divided the tasks of getting the bowls and chopsticks.
An'an frowned. "Mommy, when is Daddy coming back?"
Su Jingjing wasn't sure either, "It should be soon."
The typhoon seems to be approaching, and Li Hanting hasn't returned yet; she's worried about him.
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears.
"Dad, you're back."
Upon hearing the movement at the door, the brother and sister rushed forward, each grabbing one of the legs.
Li Hanting picked up the two children and sat them in his arms.
Yuan Yuan suddenly grew taller and laughed heartily.
"Wow, it's so high!"
An'an seemed a little uncomfortable, and carefully held onto her father's shoulders with both hands.
Dad is amazing; he picked him and his sister up so easily.
He should exercise regularly in the future.
"Babies, come down quickly, let Daddy go change his clothes first."
Su Jingjing noticed that the man's back was damp and was worried that he might catch a cold.
The two children, being very understanding, asked their elderly father to put them down.
"Ah Ting, I've prepared your clothes. Go in and take a hot shower."
Su Jingjing specifically emphasized hot baths.
"You go wash first, I'll go check on the mushroom soup on the stove."
Before Li Hanting could speak, Jingjing went into the kitchen, so he had to go to the bathroom to take a shower.
After a quick ten-minute shower and changing into my pajamas, I went to the dining table.
Su Jingjing served four bowls of soup and told them to drink the soup first to warm themselves up.
She asked nervously, "Ah Ting, are you going out again tonight?"
Li Hanting shook his head, "The preparations for the troops have been completed today."
Su Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief and told the man to eat more.
It was almost eight o'clock when we finished eating.
The wind howled outside the window, and the desolate rain pattered against the glass.
Yuanyuan shrank into Li Hanting's arms in fear, "Daddy, I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Dad is here with you."
The little one sat between his parents, feeling incredibly happy.
She tilted her head back and asked sweetly, "Daddy, are you tired?"
Li Hanting and Jingjing exchanged a glance, neither of them knowing what their daughter was up to.
"I'm a little tired, what's wrong?"
Yuanyuan suddenly stood up and made Li Hanting lie down.
"Dad, you're tired. My brother and I will give you a back massage."
Li Hanting was speechless, “…”.
His original intention was to go back to his room early to be intimate with his wife so that the children wouldn't disturb him.
Su Jingjing smiled and said, "I'll go and collect the clothes first."
Li Hanting reached out his hand to try and stop her, but he didn't know what to say. He watched helplessly as his wife went into the bathroom.
The two children massaged his shoulders and back from both sides.
"Dad, I want to hear the story of Snow White."
The little one politely asked, "Mommy, could you please bring me my storybook?"
Su Jingjing handed the storybook over and gently patted her daughter's head.
Li Hanting then began to read it with a wry smile.
He kept reciting while hooking his wife's little finger, as if pleading for her help.
Su Jingjing spoke up, "Babies, you must be tired. Let's stop and have some malted milk powder."
Li Hanting put down the storybook. "Mom is right. You should drink the malted milk powder first. Dad is feeling much better."
"Mom, I'm not tired."
After Yuanyuan finished speaking, she plopped down on Li Hanting's back.
"Giddy up, giddy up..."
...
Li Hanting was getting tired of being played with.
Su Jingjing never expected her daughter to do this.
After playing until she was tired, Yuanyuan held the malted milk powder and smacked her lips, leaving a ring of milk stains around her mouth.
"Mommy, I'm done drinking." She licked the milk stains off her lips with her little tongue.
Unlike Yuanyuan, who was carefree, An'an drank it in small sips.
"Mom will take you to bed." Su Jingjing led the brother and sister into the house.
Looking at his wife's charming back, Li Hanting felt a mix of emotions and silently took the two bowls to wash.
Thunder rumbled outside the window. Yuanyuan kept her eyes closed, staring intently at Su Jingjing, afraid that she would leave.
"Mom, I'm scared to sleep."
Su Jingjing gently patted her little hand, "Don't be afraid, Mommy will wait until you and your brother fall asleep before going out."
Yuan Yuan then closed her eyes in satisfaction.
A few minutes later, the soft breathing of the brother and sister could be heard from the bed.
Su Jingjing carefully placed their hands under the covers, tucked the blankets in, and tiptoed to the window to close it tightly.
Are the two children asleep?
Li Hanting, dressed in thin pajamas, sat against the headboard, holding a military book in his hand.
Seeing his wife come in, he put the book on the bedside table, lifted the covers, and waited for her to come in.
