Chapter 143 Chestnut



Time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye it is 75 years.

This year, Guo Haochen is in the third grade, and the twins are in the first grade.

Every morning, Guo Haochen and his two siblings followed Deng Qingling to school, and went home together after school at noon.

When school was over in the evening, Guo Haochen and his two siblings would put down their schoolbags as soon as they got home, and they would conscientiously carry bamboo baskets to collect grass for the pigs.

At first, Deng Qingling didn't want Guo Ninghuan to go pick grass for the pigs, but asked her to do her homework after school and help take care of Haoran and Ning Wan.

Who knew that after taking care of her younger brother and sister for a few days, she became afraid of them and said she would rather go to pick grass for pigs than take care of those two little brats.

In fact, Xiao Haoran and Ning Wan are not very difficult to take care of. They just like to stick around their elder sister because her sister doesn't bully them.

When Guo Ninghuan was doing her homework, one after another came to disturb her, either grabbing her pen or that one grabbing her notebook, making it impossible for her to do her homework at all.

Even when drinking water, it smells like the water in my sister's cup. If it's given to this one, I'll give it to that one. Fortunately, they don't fight over my sister's cup when she sleeps.

Usually, Deng Qingling sleeps with her two daughters, and Guo Haochen and his brother sleep on the bed next to them.

Little Haoran likes to sleep with his grandma. Even when Guo Jianjun and his wife come home, he still wants to sleep with his grandma.

During the day, he would pester his parents and even want to follow them to the toilet, but if he was asked to sleep with his parents, he would throw a tantrum and insist on sleeping with his mother-in-law.

.............................

As for the brothers Guo Haochen and Guo Haoxi, it’s okay to let them play with their younger siblings in the evening.

But it is impossible for them to take their younger brothers and sisters out to play during the day.

Although Haoran and Ning Wan wanted to go out and play with their brother.

But many times, the Guo Haochen brothers would deliberately make them cry, saying that their younger siblings were always crying and they didn’t know how to comfort them, so they asked adults to comfort them, and then they would run away.

Over time, the two younger children no longer liked to go out and play with their older brother.

Although Guo Haochen and Guo Haoxi did not like to take their younger siblings out to play, when they went out to play or pick grass for pigs, they would often pick some small flowers, grasses, wild berries, etc. and bring them home to comfort their younger siblings.

Before Deng Qingling had even finished preparing dinner, Guo Haochen and his two siblings came back.

"Mom, let's pick up some chestnuts, roast them in the kitchen, and give them to my younger brothers and sisters, okay?" Guo Haochen took out the chestnuts from his pocket and said to Deng Qingling.

"Okay, give me the chestnut first, and you watch the fire."

After taking the chestnut, Deng Qingling first cut a hole in it with a knife.

If you roast chestnuts in this way, they won’t burst.

Soon, the chestnuts were roasted.

The chestnuts roasted over firewood smelled delicious. Deng Qingling ate one and asked Guo Haochen to take it out and share it with her.

"Brother, these chestnuts are so delicious. Can you take me with you to pick them?" Haoran said with shining eyes.

"No, the chestnut balls hurt. You can play with them at home. Your brothers and sisters will pick up some chestnuts and bring them back to roast for you."

After saying that, Guo Haochen stuffed half a chestnut into Haoran's mouth.

As for why it is half a pill!

Because there were not many chestnuts, their younger brothers and sisters liked to eat them, so Guo Haochen and Guo Ninghuan would eat half of each chestnut they peeled.

Guo Haoxi peeled the shells and ate them by himself. There was nothing he could do as there wasn’t enough for his younger brothers and sisters, and it wasn’t his turn to worry about it.

After eating the chestnuts, we started eating soon after.

While eating, Xiao Haoran and Ning Wan told their grandparents that their older brothers and sisters had given them chestnuts to eat. The chestnuts were delicious, but there were too few of them.

How could there be a lot? The chestnuts were picked before they were fully ripe.

There were not many chestnuts on the tree, so they were lucky to pick up a few.

"It's okay. School is on holiday tomorrow. I'll go into the mountains and see if there are still chestnuts on those chestnut trees." Deng Qingling said.

In fact, she also likes to eat chestnuts. If there are no chestnuts in the mountains..., she will take out the chestnuts in the space.

"We want to go too." said Guo Haochen and his two siblings.

Deng Qingling: "No, there are a lot of snakes, insects and ants in the mountains. It's not as safe as the back hills. You can't go there. Stay home and do your homework. Do you hear me?"

Are you kidding? If we let them follow us, how can we take the things out of the space and cross the road?

"Oh, we understand." Guo Haochen and his two siblings responded dejectedly, then lowered their heads to eat.

"Just listen to your mother. If she goes into the mountains alone, she might catch a pheasant. But if you follow her, what if she scares the pheasants? Then we won't have anything to eat." Liang Xueying said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the children's eyes lit up and they all looked up at Deng Qingling.

"Really? Mom, are you going to catch a pheasant for us?" Guo Ningwan asked with shining eyes.

Deng Qingling saw the expectant and excited eyes of the children, nodded with a smile, and replied, "Yeah."

It seems that even if I can’t catch a pheasant, I have to bring one back. After all, I don’t want to disappoint the kids!

Fortunately, she had placed some pheasant eggs in the space before and mixed them with the eggs in the space, allowing the hens to hatch them.

Those pheasants look good too, much better than the pheasants outside.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while, then washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Deng Qingling got up early in the morning and put on the clothes and shoes she usually wore to work.
