When Old Lady Tang called Yang Jin's name, she hadn't reacted yet, not knowing who she was calling.

Chu Xia quickly pushed her and whispered, "The teacher asked you to answer a question."

Yang Jin woke up instantly, her face turned pale, and she stood up with a loud noise.

She looked at the teacher, not knowing what to say. She grabbed Chu Xia's clothes and shook them hard, and asked anxiously in a low voice, "What's the question? What's the question? Hurry up!"

Chu Xia wanted to tell her, but Old Lady Tang was staring at the two of them, so she had no chance to speak.

Under Old Lady Tang's murderous eyes, she quietly moved the book over and pointed to the content she wanted to say.

Yang Jin immediately became confident, picked up the book, and read the content in the book aloud. Chu Xia covered her face and pulled her with her hands.

It is not only necessary to talk about the contents of the book, but also to have your own understanding. Yang Jin did not understand and gave her a puzzled look.

At this time, Mrs. Tang walked over, took the book from Yang Jin's hand, and put it on Chu Xia's desk. She looked at Yang Jin sternly: "What are you reading? Repeat the question I just asked?"

The whole classroom was silent. Yang Jin looked at Mrs. Tang, and then at Chu Xia.

Chu Xia could not help her. The teacher was far away and she could still remind him, but the teacher was right in front of them, so she could not be so blatant.

Yang Jin could not answer, she lowered her head silently.

"You don't even know the question, what are you going to answer? Reading? Read to the patient while you're treating him, see if you can teach him well!"

Old Lady Tang attacked indiscriminately. After scolding Yang Jin, she scolded Mao Xiaolan, Liang Wenwen and others beside her, saying that they didn't pay attention in class and wanted to become quacks in the future! She

also scolded Chuxia and Ye Mengchun: "You can help in class now, but you help them when they treat patients? This is not helping people, it's hurting people! Don't think you know everything just because you are good at learning! Luo Chuxia, cough with a lot of sputum...weak pulse. Explain the pathogenesis of this disease."

This is not what Chuxia and the others are learning now, they can only learn it later. Old Lady Tang just wants her to know that she doesn't know everything.

But Chuxia stood up silently and skillfully answered this question using the functions of the five dirty things and the theory of the five elements.

Old Mrs. Tang looked at her for a few seconds and glared at her: "Sit down."

Chuxia smiled at Old Mrs. Tang obediently: "Thank you, teacher."

Old Mrs. Tang stood back on the podium and looked at Chuxia: "Just because you can do it, it doesn't mean Yang Jin and the others can do it too. You're so sleepy, just stand and listen."

Yang Jin and the others stood for the whole class, and when they reached the end, as soon as Old Mrs. Tang said the class was over, they immediately collapsed on their chairs: "It's so abnormal, Old Mrs. Tang doesn't even have any teacher-student relationship with us."

Chuxia: "It's only been a month since the school started, and she thinks she values ​​you very much by remembering your name."

Yang Jin: "She remembers the names of all the students in the class."

After Grandpa Jiang finished drinking the medicinal wine, Chuxia went to the drugstore to buy Chinese medicine and some dietary therapy herbs.

Cen Zhengnian's stomach is well taken care of, and he has seldom had an attack recently. However, his work consumes too much energy, so Chuxia often buys meat, ribs, eggs, and orders milk for him to eat every day.

Of course, she and Cen Huaian also eat.

With a good diet, An'an has gained some weight on his face, and he doesn't look so thin anymore.

Now in the family compound, there are many children who want to play with him, because he has two particularly majestic big dogs.

As long as Cen Huaian takes them out, a group of children will surround him. Some children are naughty and want to get on the dogs and let the dogs carry them.

But he can't ride them. As long as he touches the yellow or black dogs, they will immediately shake their bodies and run away.

The store where Chuxia came to buy medicine is very large, with the most complete medicinal materials. She also searched for several stores before finding this one.

Because she often comes to buy Chinese medicine, some of the store clerks remember Chuxia and know that she knows about medicinal materials, and they will talk to her.

"Recently, a batch of good medicinal materials have arrived, dug from the mountains. Would you like to take a look?"

The store collects all kinds of medicinal materials. Some people will specifically dig things in the deep mountains and send them to this store to sell. This store gives a fair price.

"Let me take a look."

Chuxia also likes wild and old medicinal materials. She has bought a fifty-year-old wild ginseng in this store before.

The store also has older ones, but the top-grade medicinal materials are also very expensive now, and Chuxia doesn't have that much money.

The medicinal materials that the clerk mentioned today were very good to Chuxia, but she didn't buy any of them because she didn't need them.

After buying the herbs, Chu Xia was about to leave the drugstore when she looked up and saw Luo Peng walking in with a piece of paper.

"Cousin?"

Chu Xia called her. Luo Peng looked up and showed a trace

of panic in his eyes. He consciously wanted to put the paper behind him. But she soon realized that she had overreacted. She blinked to hide the panic in her eyes, and naturally folded the paper and put it in her pocket.

"Chu Xia, why are you here?"

Luo Peng was also surprised. This is a Chinese medicine store. Only people who are sick will come here to buy herbs. But she thought about Chu Xia's expertise and it was reasonable for Chu Xia to be here.

"Do you need to buy some professional herbs?"

Chuxia showed the herbs in her hand to Luo Peng: "No, I bought some herbs for grandpa to make wine."

She didn't ask Luo Peng what he was doing here. Chuxia felt her pulse and knew how Luo Peng was doing.

Luo Peng pinned her hair back and smiled softly at Chuxia: "Thank you for telling me to take care of your body that day. I went to see a doctor and felt much better. I came here to get the medicine as ordered by the doctor." Chuxia

nodded and smiled: "That's good. I hope you will recover soon, cousin."

Luo Peng said "hmm", and they parted ways. She went in to get the medicine.

Chuxia turned her head and looked at Luo Peng's back. From the color of Luo Peng's face just now, she could see that Luo Peng's health was getting better. His face was obviously rosy, and his lips were not so white, but had a light pink color.

Chuxia sincerely hoped that Luo Peng would get better. Luo Peng and Zhishu Jiang were very good to her, Cen Zhengnian and An An.

Although Zhishu Jiang looked very cold, he would help when he could. At Grandpa Jiang's house, Luo Peng also took care of her everywhere. They were two very good people. Chuxia hoped that they would have no regrets in their lives.

Chuxia walked out of the herbal medicine store. A gust of cold wind blew, and the yellow leaves on the ground were rolled up a few times. She felt that her hands, which had been warmed in the store, suddenly became cold again.

Winter is coming, and it will be very cold this winter, Chuxia thought subconsciously, she wrapped her scarf inside, and walked quickly towards the bus stop.

"An An?"

When she got home, An An was not at home, and Huang Zi and Hei Zi were not at home either. They were probably out playing together.

As long as she was near the research institute, the area around her family compound was safe, and there were two dogs following her, so Chuxia was not very worried.

She took out the white wine she had bought, and sorted the purchased herbs by weight one by one.

Chuxia took some clean water, washed the herbs, and put them one by one into the prepared wine jar in order, and then poured in the high-concentration white wine.

The key to making medicinal wine is the proportion of the herbs and the selection of the wine. Different medicinal wine recipes correspond to different diseases. A slight difference in weight may produce very different results.

After the wine is poured in, seal the wine jar in early summer and place it in a dry and dark place. It will be ready to drink after a month.

Many flowers have withered in winter, and the vegetables planted in the backyard have all dried up.

However, early summer did not clean the loofah vines when autumn just came. I just waited for the old loofahs hanging on them to become dry, dry and crispy after being exposed to the wind and sun. Then I could remove the skin and use the flesh inside as a tool for washing pots and dishes.

Now the loofahs are almost dried. I picked an old loofah in early summer, and the outer skin fell off when I touched it.

The loofah flesh came out intact without any effort. Chuxia looked at the thin strands of gray-yellow mesh fibers and pinched them with her hands. They were soft and had a familiar feel.

Chuxia was going to wait for Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian to be home, pick all the loofahs, and clean up the yard.

It was too cold outside, so Chuxia took the loofah pulp and hurried into the house to get a cup of hot water.

She was holding the cup to warm her hands when Cen Huaian ran into the house with two dogs, bringing a cool breeze.

"Mom, Teacher Han is here at the family compound."

Cen Huaian was wearing woolen gloves and a red tiger-head hat on his head. The fluffy sides of the hat hung down to protect his ears and face, which was particularly cute.

Chuxia asked a tailor to make this for Cen Huaian. Children usually wear this kind of hat, which has a festive meaning.

If Cen Huaian was still under two years old, Chuxia would make tiger-head shoes for him to wear, and he would wear a brocade satin red cotton jacket, and he would look exactly like a New Year picture doll.

"Is Teacher Han coming to visit?"

"No." Cen Huaian took off his gloves, poured himself a glass of water, and added boiled water to Huang Zi and Hei Zi's dog bowls. He turned around and said to Chu Xia, "Some people in our class didn't finish their homework last week, and Teacher Han went to their homes today to watch them do it."

Chu Xia felt admiration in her heart: "Your teacher is really responsible. With a teacher watching, those kids probably won't fail to complete their homework this time."

Cen Huaian touched Huang Zi and Hei Zi's heads, shook his head and said to Chu Xia, "But they seemed to know that Teacher Han was coming, so they all ran out. Now Teacher Han and their parents are looking for them."

Sure enough, Chu Xia listened carefully and could hear the voice of an adult calling a child coming from afar.

It was the first time she heard that teachers and parents were catching children together. Chuxia became interested and pulled Cen Huaian to open the door: "Where are they looking?"

Cen Huaian pointed the way and went out with Chuxia.

Sure enough, they saw the tall and strong teacher Han walking in front with a book in his hand. The book in his hand was rolled into a barrel, and he walked with great strides. He didn't look like he was looking for students, but like he was going to war.

He stared with his eyes and searched carefully everywhere, while the parents of the family compound following behind him were shouting the names of their children.

There were also many people watching the excitement around.

The parents who shouted had red faces and full of anger in their eyes. When they shouted their children's names, their voices were gnashing.

Chuxia covered her face. Looking for the child in this way was equivalent to letting everyone in the family compound know that her child was disobedient and didn't complete the homework, and was found by the teacher at home.

It's so embarrassing, no wonder those parents are so angry.

Chuxia was extremely glad that Cen Huaian was not a child who didn't finish his homework. She touched An An's tiger-skin hat, the fabric was soft, and there was some white fluff embroidered on the edge.

"An An, mommy loves you so much now."

Cen Huaian showed a puzzled look in his eyes, not understanding why his mother suddenly said this.

But when his mother said she loved him, An An's heart immediately rose with joy. He tried to suppress the corners of his mouth, but failed to suppress it and curled up.

Cen Huaian held Chuxia's hand tightly. He also loved his mother the most, more than his father.

Soon those children were found by their parents, and they were dragged home by their ears, scolding them as they walked.

The other adults standing around laughed at the few people, and some shouted to the children: "Hongjie, does it hurt when your ears are pulled?"

"Xiaotao, do your homework well next time!"

Others asked the parents to be gentle: "Fangxue, Longlong's ears are red."

Fangxue gritted her teeth: "He has to be hurt, otherwise he won't remember!"

Cen Huaian couldn't help but cover his ears: "Mom, will you pull my ears?"

Grandma had pulled his ears before, and it hurt. An An remembered the days before, when grandma saw him and hid the food, and coaxed him that she had no food and asked him to ask mom for it.

But he clearly saw it, and he wanted to find it himself, so grandma pulled it out by the ear, and his ears hurt for several days.

Cen Huaian was in a bad mood, and Chu Xia noticed it. She thought An An didn't like to see children being beaten by their parents, because he was also a child and had not lived a happy life before.

Chu Xia patted his head and said, "I won't pull your ears. And when did mommy beat you? It doesn't count before." If

An An made a mistake, he would be punished by standing, writing big characters, and having his red flower deducted.

Cen Huaian felt that having his red flower deducted was as painful as being beaten.

Chuxia led him back and saw An An with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. She sensitively realized something and asked him, "Has anyone pulled your ears before?"

Cen Huaian said, "Hmm," "My grandma pulled it and it hurt."

This was what happened to An An before she came. Chuxia felt a prickly pain in her heart. She squatted down and hugged An An, "With mom and dad here, no one will pull your ears in the future."

Cen Huaian hugged Chuxia, and her heart, which was originally a little sad, suddenly felt warm, as if she was taking a bath in a pool.

The corners of his mouth raised a little arc, and he said "hmm", hugging his mother tightly: he was so happy to have a fairy mother now.

"Mom, I'm learning martial arts, and I will protect myself in the future." He also wanted to protect his mother.

Chuxia let him go, and took him to continue walking home: "Okay. I know An An is very powerful now."

Cen Huaian's mood improved again, and he seemed to have forgotten all the unhappiness in the past.

Cen Zhengnian went home for dinner in the evening, and Chuxia called him and An An to pull all the loofah vines in the backyard.

After picking the loofah, Chuxia taught An An how to make a pot scrubber. It's very simple, just peel the skin, cut it into small pieces, and wash off the seeds.

While Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian were pulling the loofah vines, An An had already picked all the loofahs and placed them on the table, waiting to dry.

As soon as Cen Zhengnian and Chu Xia came in, An An immediately looked up, with a look of seeking praise on his face, and Chu Xia couldn't help but pinch his face.

"Go and get your little red flower book."

An An's little red flowers have accumulated a lot, and he wants to exchange them for delicious food and a new set of flying chess.

"What do you want to exchange for food?"

"Mom, can I exchange it for cake?"

"You can also eat cake on your birthday."

Cen Huaian pursed his lips and said, "But mom, I want to eat cake now too."

"Then you have to exchange it with thirty little red flowers. After that, you won't have enough to exchange for flying chess."

Cen Huaian hesitated for a while. Thirty little red flowers are a lot, but cake is expensive. Flying chess can wait.

He looked up at Chuxia: "Mom, I want to eat cake."

Chuxia promised him: "I'll buy it for you when I go to your great-grandmother's house on Sunday."

Chuxia ticked off thirty little red flowers under Cen Huaian's distressed gaze.

In the bedroom at night, Chuxia sat on the bed and read the case booklet sent by Cen Zhengnian. When she heard Cen Zhengnian coming in, she turned a page and asked, "Is Anan asleep?"

"Yeah." Cen Zhengnian replied, unbuttoning his coat with one hand.

Chuxia looked up and saw his white and slender fingers falling on the buttons, unbuttoning them one by one.

Her eyes fell on Cen Zhengnian's Adam's apple and jade-like face again, and Chuxia suddenly felt a little hot. It was obviously a very casual action, why was it so seductive?

Chuxia covered her face and told herself in her heart to look away and stop looking!

But her eyes were still staring at Cen Zhengnian without blinking.

He lifted the hem of his sweater, lifted it up, and took off the sweater from his head. Because the movement was too big, the firm muscles of his lower abdomen were exposed.

Chuxia licked her lips, but her eyes still did not move away.

Cen Zhengnian was about to take off the last shirt inside, but when he was halfway through unbuttoning, he suddenly raised his head, a smile on his lips, and his eyes stared into Chuxia's eyes, so deep that it seemed to suck her in.

"Do you want to see more?" The voice was a little hoarse.

Chuxia woke up instantly, shook her head immediately, and quickly looked away, her face flushed, and her earlobes were as red as bleeding rubies.

Cen Zhengnian laughed lightly and walked towards Chuxia step by step slowly: "I don't mind."

"No, no."

Chuxia didn't know what she was talking about, and she couldn't think properly anymore.

Cen Zhengnian didn't turn off the lights, forcing Chuxia to take a good look at his body and feel it deeply.

Before Chuxia had time to buy a cake for Cen Huaian, a heavy snow fell first.

Chuxia likes to watch the snow scene. Looking out of the window, it seems that the whole world has turned white.

There are children playing snowball fights outside.

Chuxia and Cen Huaian want to build a snowman in the backyard of their home.

The snowman they built in Liangzhou before melted when the sun came out. And when they were in Liangzhou, there was no Cen Zhengnian, Huang Zi and Hei Zi.

This time, Chuxia and Anan wanted to build a family of five, and they also pulled Cen Zhengnian to join them.

When Cen Zhengnian heard that they were going to build a family, he wanted to make it look more like a family, so he drew a design.

Chuxia and Cen Huaian looked at the picture, and she nodded and said, "This is the effect we want to create! Let's get started!"

At the beginning, Chuxia and the others looked at the picture and built it according to the picture. But later, Chuxia and Cen Huaian were completely free to play. As for Cen Zhengnian, he completely indulged the two of them. As for the picture, it was not important.

When they were making snowmen, the two dogs also ran around in the backyard. Several times they tried to use their claws to dig at the snowmen they had built. They were curious about what their owner was doing.

However, most of them were discovered by Cen Huaian. He held Huang Zi and Hei Zi's necks tightly and tried to protect the snowmen they had built.

Later, the two dogs went to the side to play with digging snow with their claws, and Chu Xia made full use of the snow they dug out to make a snowball for the two dogs.

"An An, this snowball is a bit big."

Chu Xia pressed it in, but it didn't go in. She continued, trying hard, and finally pressed it in. She patted the snow on her gloves and said, "But it's not a big problem."

The snowball she made herself was a bit small, no problem, just grab a handful of snow and stuff it in. An An did the same thing as her. The two of them made snowmen very roughly.

Only Cen Zhengnian was carefully stacking the snowmen according to the drawings in his mind, but this was a group collaboration, and he didn't really care what Chuxia and An'an made.

"Mom, is there something wrong with Huangzi's head?"

Chuxia stood back and looked at the dog head she had made. Except that it was a little big, she didn't think it was wrong.

"It's good, it looks like Huangzi."

Cen Huaian was still looking at the dog snowman, and he always felt it was weird. But the drawings were no longer available, so let it be.

He shook his head and continued to stack Heizi.

Cen Zhengnian found small black coal balls from the house and drew eyes, noses and mouths on the snowmen.

When all the snowmen were built, Chuxia stood back, took out the drawings that Cen Zhengnian had drawn, and compared them.

Not to say they were exactly the same, but there was absolutely no relationship.

Cen Huaian lay on Chu Xia's arm, looked at the picture, then at the snowman, then at the picture again, and remained silent.

Cen Zhengnian just looked at the snowman with a smile, feeling the joy of participating in family activities. As for what the snowman looks like, that's not important.

Chuxia looked at the snowman and wanted to take a photo as a souvenir, but she didn't have a camera or a cell phone, so she could only look at the snowman for a few more times before it melted.

"Zhengnian, An'an and I did a good job, didn't we? The snowman we made last year is as good as this year's!"

Chuxia has always been extremely confident about the things she made.

Cen Zhengnian nodded sincerely in agreement with her: "It looks like us."

Chuxia looked at the snowman, frowned, shook her head and said: "Not very similar, my face is a little too big, it should be smaller."

Among the three snowmen standing in the yard, Chuxia's face is the smallest. She gestured for a while and said: "Forget it, I'll make it smaller next year."

Cen Zhengnian smiled and said "hmm": "Actually, it's good like this now."

Huangzi and Heizi didn't know if they had found an opportunity. When Chuxia and the other two were admiring the snowman, they quietly ran to their own snowmen and raised their paws to print a few plum blossom-shaped footprints.

Recently, Cen Huaian has become more popular when he takes Huangzi and Heizi out.

Because Chuxia and Cen Zhengnian found a carpenter and made a simple sled, they let Huangzi and Heizi, two dogs, pull An'an to play.

There is not a single child who doesn't want to ride on Cen Huaian's dog sled.

Huangzi and Heizi run fast and steadily, and they are also obedient and won't run around. It feels very comfortable to see An An sitting on them.

But An An never lets them sit, unless someone beats him in chess. He doesn't want Huangzi and Heizi to pull the sled all the time, as it will tire them out.

Normally, Cen Huaian will only let Huangzi and Heizi pull when they need to take a walk. Chu Xia came up with this idea because he couldn't run in the snow.

Children of the same age can't beat Cen Huaian in either checkers or Gobang.

"An An, please let me ride once, I'll give you money." Long Long, who was chased by Teacher Han and his mother because he didn't finish his homework last time, took out a handful of change, some cents and some dimes.

Cen Huaian shook his head: "No."

Long Long cried out "Wow", "I can't beat you in chess again!"

The other children wanted to sit on the sled and play while Cen Huaian wasn't paying attention. But Huang Zi and Hei Zi only listened to An An, and they sat on the sled without moving.

Long Long ran home crying, and asked his mother to ride on Cen Huaian's dog sled.

Long Long's mother was annoyed by his pestering, and pulling his ears was useless, so she had no choice but to come to Chu Xia and ask her if she could let Long Long ride once.

"Just once is enough. He's been bothering me so much that I can't do anything." Longlong's mother had a headache.

Chuxia had no choice, this was An'an's dog sled.

"You have to ask An'an, and you can only do it after he agrees."

Cen Huaian just came back on the sled. Longlong was so envious that he almost overflowed with envy. He walked towards Cen Huaian uncontrollably, but was pulled back by his mother.

Chuxia smiled at Longlong's mother: "An'an is back, you can ask him. Huangzi and Heizi are his good friends. He has always fed them. They only listen to him and don't listen to me."

Cen Huaian untied the wide cloth ropes on Huangzi and Heizi and led them over.

Longlong's mother bent down to ask him, Cen Huaian shook his head, his tone was very firm: "No. Huangzi and Heizi are tired."

After that, he took Huangzi and Heizi into the house, without even looking at Longlong who was looking at Huangzi and Heizi.

Chuxia smiled helplessly: "Longlong's mother, I'm sorry."

Longlong's mother wanted Chuxia to persuade her, Chuxia shook her head: "I won't force An'an to do something he doesn't want to do."

Longlong's mother could only take Longlong back, but she felt a little uncomfortable.

Neighbors, what's wrong with just letting the children ride a dog sled? It's not pulled by people, two dogs, are they so expensive?

Others thought so too. Their children also came home and clamored to ride.

Chuxia didn't pay attention to those comments.

It's not tiring to pull one person, but there are more than one child in the family compound. With so many children, if you pull once, there will be a second time. If your family rides, other families will also want to ride. If you agree to this one, you can't refuse the other one.

In this way, Huangzi and Heizi don't have a rest for the whole day. Not to mention Anan, even Chuxia feels sorry for Huangzi and Heizi.

To outsiders, Huangzi and Heizi are dogs, but to Chuxia and Anan, they are family members.

Besides, they are not doing business, why should they tire the dogs just to maintain good neighborly relations? Even

if they are doing business, the dog sleds on the sea ice in later generations are all simulated dogs.

On Sunday, Chuxia took Anan to Grandpa Jiang's house. On the way, she kept her promise and bought Anan a cake.

Carrying the cake to Grandpa Jiang's house, Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixian, who were already at Grandpa Jiang's house, shouted excitedly when they saw the cake.

Zhang Lu looked at Chu Xia with eyes as bright as the sun: "Aunt, when can we eat the cake?"

Grandpa Jiang's beard moved, and he seemed to be unconcerned about the cake while sitting on the chair, but his eyes were always watching. He also loves sweets.

But Grandpa Jiang can't eat too sweet things now. He is old, and too greasy and sweet food puts too much burden on the body, and it is not good to eat.

Therefore, Grandpa Jiang needs to avoid eating. Every time Uncle Jiang or Uncle Jiang comes over, they have to tell Grandpa Jiang and Aunt Li not to eat anything randomly.

Chu Xia will also tell Aunt Li. Grandpa Jiang always wants to eat some sweet and sour carp, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, etc. If you don't pay attention, you may eat too sweet snacks.

Old child, old child, sometimes Grandpa Jiang is as childish as a child.

Chuxia glanced at Grandpa Jiang, smiled and said to Zhang Lu: "You should ask An An, this is the cake he exchanged with the little red flower."

An An looked up at Chuxia: "Mom, I want to eat it now."

"Okay. Do you want to invite Xuanxuan to eat too?"

Hong Youxuan usually learns chess at his grandfather's house on Sundays, and Cen Huaian often goes to play chess with Grandpa Jiang after learning.

Cen Huaian nodded, and went to find Hong Youxuan with Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixian.

They were close, and the children ran back soon. Zhang Lu and Jiang Wei ran in front, turning back from time to time to urge Cen Huaian and Hong Youxuan who were walking behind them.

"Hurry up!"

Hong Youxuan said to Zhang Lu and the others in a gentle voice from behind: "You guys slow down, don't run too fast."

Cen Huaian actually wanted to eat the cake quickly, but he didn't want to show it, so he just walked faster.

Several children went into the house. Zhang Lu and Jiang Wei ran first with red faces, not sure if it was because of the heat or the wind.

Hong Youxuan greeted Grandpa Jiang and Chuxia politely.

Chuxia smiled and nodded at him: "Xuanxuan, you don't have to be so polite here."

She touched Cen Huaian's face with the back of her hand. This year, she started using frostbite cream early. An'an's face and hands and feet were well protected. His little face was still tender, but it was a little cold after being blown by the cold wind.

Chuxia opened the cake and Cen Huaian went to cut it.

Although the children wanted to eat cake all the time and fill their stomachs. But with Chuxia around, she wouldn't let them eat so much.

Seeing that he hadn't been given any cake, Grandpa Jiang called Chuxia.

Chuxia looked at him with a smile on her lips: "Grandpa, what's wrong?" As if she couldn't figure out what he meant.

Grandpa Jiang cleared his throat: "Give me a piece."

Chuxia: "Grandpa, you can't eat sweets."

Grandpa Jiang was unhappy: "It's okay to eat a little."

Seeing Grandpa Jiang's eager look, Chuxia cut a bite-sized portion and brought it to him.

Grandpa Jiang looked at her, then at the cake: "These are not enough to fill the gaps between your teeth."

The smile on Chuxia's lips didn't change: "Grandpa, you can only eat these. If you don't want to eat..."

Grandpa Jiang immediately brought the cake over: "Who said I don't want to eat!"

One bite at a time, at least you can taste it.

Zhang Lu and Jiang Wei ate the cake first and ate it very quickly. Later, when there was not much left, they were reluctant to eat it quickly and ate it bit by bit.

Cen Huaian was different from them. He ate at the same speed from beginning to end. After finishing, he licked his lips and looked at the remaining cake with nostalgia, his eyes showing that he wanted to eat more.

But Chu Xia was not moved by his eyes at all. He still didn't give it to him.

Hong Youxuan was the same as An An, but he finished it after he finished it, without any expression on his face that he wanted to eat more. After

eating the cake, Hong Youxuan and An An went into Grandpa Jiang's study to play chess, and Grandpa Jiang watched from the side.

Not long after, Hong Youxuan's great-grandfather Hong Yuande also came over. As soon as he came in, he said that Grandpa Jiang had taken his great-grandson away again.

Grandpa Jiang slowly sipped his tea, looked at him and said, "Keep your voice down and don't disturb the children."

Hong Yuande snorted and said nothing.

Not only is Cen Huaian's chess skills improving, but Hong Youxuan's chess skills are also improving rapidly.

Unlike Cen Huaian who attacks fiercely and sets traps at the same time, Hong Youxuan likes to play chess in a gentle manner on the surface, but in fact every move is to form a trap and confuse the enemy.

If you underestimate Hong Youxuan's chess, you will definitely lose to him.

But An An wins most of the time when playing with him, of course there are also losses. He is not in a good state all the time.

Chuxia watched for a while, and Zhang Lu and Jiang Wei were bored and wanted to go out to play, so she followed them out.

It was too cold outside, so Chuxia sat in the living room. Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixian played hide-and-seek in the living room.

After playing for a while, Zhang Lu got tired and sat next to Chuxia to read her book.

"Aunt, my mother said you will be a doctor in the future. Can you help me with my illness?"

Chuxia closed the medical book and looked at her curiously: "What disease do you have that I need to see?"

"My mother said that I have a disease that will kill me if I don't move."

Chuxia laughed out loud. My cousin is so funny. This is indeed a good description of Zhang Lu.

But Chuxia still told Zhang Lu the truth: "There is no medical cure for the disease you have."

"Ah?" Zhang Lu opened her mouth wide, stared with panic in her eyes: "Aunt, then I have a terminal disease and I am going to die?"

"No." Chuxia explained to her with a smile: "It means you are not sick."

Zhang Lu still didn't quite believe it, and said a little listlessly: "My mother said that aunt can take my pulse, but you didn't show it to me. Is it because I have a terminal disease that you don't want to help me?"

Chuxia shook her head: "No."

But she was afraid that Zhang Lu still didn't believe it, so she raised her hand to take her pulse. Zhang Lu looked at Chuxia's fingers falling on her wrist, and a magical expression appeared on his face.

Chu Xia released her wrist and said to her, "You are very healthy. You don't have any disease that will kill you if you don't move. Your mother just said that because she thinks you are too restless."

Zhang Lu finally believed it and became lively again. He chased Jiang Weixian and said that she was an eagle and came to catch him, a little chicken. Jiang Weixian was so scared that he ran away.

In this game of chess, Cen Huaian won against Hong Youxuan.

Hong Youxuan rubbed his hands and said to Cen Huaian, "Brother An'an, you are improving too fast."

His voice was still as gentle as usual, without jealousy, only happiness for Cen Huaian.

Cen Huaian pursed his lips, but did not completely relax. He looked at Hong Youxuan and said, "You are improving very fast."

The two looked at each other and felt like they had met a worthy opponent.

In the afternoon, Cen Huaian learned martial arts. When talking about dog sledding, he mentioned the dog sledding.

Zhang Lu and Jiang Weixian stared at him with eyes wide open, with envy on their faces: "It would be great if I had two dogs too."

Jiang Weixian nodded.

The two wanted to go with Cen Huaian to see what dog sledding was like. However, it was very late after martial arts training, and they couldn't go.

As the weather got colder, Cen Zhengnian's birthday was approaching, and his birthday was in winter.

It was December in winter, and when Chuxia sent Jiang Shengnan some red dates that had been dried at home, she mentioned it to Chuxia after receiving the red dates.

In fact, Chuxia also knew Cen Zhengnian's birthday, and she remembered it.
