Yin Xiaoman really wants to do something for everyone.
But she knows herself well. Even though she was not familiar with the environment, the best thing she could do at this time was to take good care of the children and not cause trouble to the soldiers.
So she took her two little ones back to her new home.
Children are always the most energetic. Although Dabao and Erniu were so tired that they looked like they couldn't even walk a step when they came last night, they were all fully recovered after a night's sleep.
There was no need for Yin Xiaoman to worry about the two of them. They just ran around the house like crazy, and then ran back with a satisfied look on their faces.
"Mom, are we going to live here from now on?" Erniu rushed over and hugged Yin Xiaoman, looking up and asked with anticipation.
"Yes, we will live here from now on. How about it, does Erniu like it?"
"I like it!" Erniu looked excited.
"This is fun! There is a river on the mountain behind, there are birds, and there are lots of fruits!"
As she spoke, she took out a yellow fruit from her clothes pocket, the same one that Yin Xiaoman had picked before, and held it up to show her with a proud look on her face.
"Mom, this smells good, but it's really, really sour!" As she said this, she seemed to be recalling the feeling of eating it just now, and her little face was all wrinkled.
Only then did Yin Xiaoman realize that he had almost overlooked a big problem, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat!
"You ate? How much did you eat?!"
She hurriedly grabbed the two children and asked nervously.
Seeing that her mother was really anxious, Erniu was scared.
Only at this point could I tell that he was too young, and he was stuttering and couldn't explain himself clearly.
It was Dabao who pulled her aside and said to Yin Xiaoman, "Mom, I didn't eat it! I just got a little skin broken."
As he spoke, he turned the yellow fruit over and held it in front of Yin Xiaoman again, pointing to the broken skin on it where he had scratched it with his fingers and said, "Erniu scratched it just now, but it was too difficult to scratch it. It took her a long time to make a small hole. She licked her finger and said it was so sour, so we didn't eat it anymore."
After hearing him say this, Yin Xiaoman felt relieved.
In fact, she just thought that this fruit should not be poisonous. Judging from its appearance, it should be a variety similar to citrus. But even so, you can't eat anything you want!
She blamed herself in her heart, blaming herself for not saying it in advance.
She motioned Dabao and Erniu to stand opposite her.
Then she looked at them seriously and said, "You two, remember this. Play near the house. Without permission from adults, you must not run far away and must not leave your sight!
If you can't hear me when I call you, or can't see you when I look for you, I will beat you every time I find you, and will not let you off easily! Did you hear that? ! ”
The two children had never seen Yin Xiaoman so strict with them and were all terrified.
Without even having time to think, he nodded subconsciously.
"Answer me! Did you hear me?"
"I heard it!" they both answered in unison.
Yin Xiaoman nodded, but did not let them go.
She continued with a cold face, "There are many fruits and trees on this back mountain, but I don't know which ones are edible and which ones are poisonous.
So, except for the ones that mom explicitly tells you to pick, you are not allowed to touch the others. If I find you picking fruits randomly, especially eating them randomly, I will break your hands! ”
Erniu quickly threw the other fruit in her hand to the ground, then put her hands behind her back. Her little mouth was pouting and her eyes were quickly covered with a layer of mist.
Looking at Yin Xiaoman again, in addition to confusion and grievance, there was also a layer of fear in his eyes.
Yin Xiaoman felt a little distressed.
But she knew she had to do this.
Because the two children are spoiled too much, they are actually quite fearless now.
Dabao does things in his heart. On the surface, he looks well-behaved and obedient, like a little adult, but his little head is always thinking about things.
When they were in the vanguard camp before, Qiangzi was one year older than him, but he was always fooled by him to do whatever he pointed at, just like a little follower.
Not to mention Erniu.
There is only one little girl in the whole camp. Isn't she spoiled wherever she goes?
She is a sweet-talker with good sense. If she wants to be nice to someone, she will just chatter away and say nice things to you without asking for anything in return.
It makes people feel happy.
Even Shen Qingyun was fooled by her every day and became arrogant.
These two little brats are not afraid of anyone at all now!
But where is this? This is a deserted island that has not even been fully developed!
Although there are soldiers on the island now, who knows what dangers are lurking in places where even the soldiers have not yet been?
Not to mention wild beasts, even if any poisonous weed or poisonous fruit was eaten by these two ignorant kids and something happened, they would cry their hearts out if this isolated island in the ocean doesn't even have a clinic within miles!
So, at this moment, all Yin Xiaoman could think of was the high-pressure policy.
Not being reasonable and not giving opportunities for temptation is just drawing circles.
Just like what the old maids taught them when they first entered the palace, they first established the rules and drew the circle.
You can do whatever you want within the circle, but it won’t work outside of it!
Yin Xiaoman naturally would not say these words to the two little ones, but her stern-faced instructions did scare the two little ones.
The two of them nodded obediently in agreement, and then Dabao took his sister and walked out immediately.
When they reached the door, Yin Xiaoman could still hear Erniu saying to her brother in a tearful voice: "If we had known that mom was so powerful, we wouldn't have come here. It's so good to be at home. Mom is so good to us! I don't like it here at all!"
Yin Xiaoman felt a headache after hearing this.
But she knew that this was definitely not the time to be soft-hearted. If she felt sorry for the little girl and went over to kiss and hug her, then you would see that she would be doomed.
It would be strange if the little girl didn't take advantage of you and repeatedly tested your bottom line.
Thinking of this, she hardened her heart again and asked in a neither loud nor soft voice, "When are you two going to finish your homework today?"
Hearing their mother's question, the two children paused at the same time.
Then Dabao turned around and said, "Mom, are we not going to the beach today?"
"No, my mother has other things to do this morning."
Seeing the disappointment quickly welling up in the eyes of the brother and sister, Yin Xiaoman thought about it, but in the end he couldn't bear it, so he had to continue: "You all go do your homework first, and I'll take you to climb the mountain in the afternoon after you finish it."
When the two children heard their mother say that she would take them to climb the mountain in the afternoon, they became happy and both said "Oh" excitedly.
They immediately forgot their previous dissatisfaction and without saying anything else, they all ran towards their own houses quickly.
Ever since he got along with that man in the Pioneer Camp, he had been particularly "shameless" in giving orders to the two little guys -
They asked that the brother and sister sleep in the same room and "give up" their mother to others.
Although the two children, especially the second girl, were very dissatisfied with this, it was useless to resist since it was their father's decision.
After trying several times, the little girl had no choice but to give up and now has completely accepted the reality.
Looking at the backs of the two children, Yin Xiaoman was actually a little worried.
According to memory, the original owner had chosen to jump off a cliff at this time, thus ending her short and tragic life. So she had no idea what would happen next or what variables there might be.
Just like now, she has no idea when school will resume, but Yin Xiaoman knows that Dabao will be seven years old soon and Erniu will be five years old soon, and they are both old enough to go to school.
Now that she has come to this island, it is naturally a good thing for her, but not necessarily for the children.
Being trapped on such an isolated island at such a young age, with no peers and no place to go to school, Yin Xiaoman was very worried that this would delay the development of her two children.
However, for her now, there is really nothing she can do about it.
The only thing she can do now is to pay no slack at all to her two children, especially the eldest one's study.
No matter how much the world claims that studying is useless, in Yin Xiaoman's heart, she firmly believes that no matter what dynasty, studying and making progress are the most important things.
To this end, she has been quietly teaching her two children to read using textbooks and copybooks placed in wooden boxes, and insists on assigning them homework every day.
Seeing the two little ones obediently doing their homework, Yin Xiaoman's eyes fell on the two single beds placed against the wall.
Thinking of the scene in the morning when the 1.80-meter-tall man insisted on squeezing into a small bed with her, the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
After staring for a while, she stood up depressed.
She moved the table between the two beds aside, lifted and removed the bedding on the beds, and finally pushed the two beds together with all her might.
Then she took apart the two single mattresses, took out the cotton inside, and reassembled them to make a new double mattress.
It is easier said than done.
She had to sew such a big mattress by herself, and time passed by unknowingly.
It was not until Ren Ping'an shouted "sister-in-law" at the door that she realized it was almost eleven o'clock and time to make lunch.
Putting down the work in his hands, Yin Xiaoman got off the bed and walked to the door, then saw Ren Ping'an standing next to the kitchen carrying a large bamboo basket on his back.
"Xiao Ren, what are you carrying?"
"Coal cakes."
Ren Pingan said, smiling embarrassedly: "We have just arrived on this island not long ago, so we really have no experience. I don't know why it is so humid. The coal cakes are actually wet when placed on the ground!
Sister-in-law, I've carried some coal briquettes over from the kitchen and will teach you how to light the fire. Then I'll move a stone slab to the door. From now on, just stack the dried coal cakes on the stone slabs and everything should be fine. ”
After hearing what he said, why would Yin Xiaoman disagree?
With the experience from the morning and with dry branches and coal briquettes, learning to start a fire was much smoother this time.
Under Ren Ping'an's command, Yin Xiaoman successfully lit the stove without him having to do anything.
Seeing how skillful she was, the young soldier finally showed a relieved expression.
"Sister-in-law, what else did I bring you?"
Because they have been together for a long time, he and Yin Xiaoman are no longer as unfamiliar when talking to each other as before.
Seeing that the fire was lit, he walked over to the basket he had been carrying, took out a package wrapped in banana leaves from it, and asked with a swagger on his face.
When Yin Xiaoman saw the banana leaves, his heart was moved.
