As the weather gets hotter, the school has its summer vacation, which means that all the children in the family compound have more time.
In addition to finishing their housework every day, Chen Zecheng and his sister basically spend their time after dinner playing with a bunch of little radishes.
Chu Yao had no objection to this. After all, as long as they didn't go to dangerous places, Chu Yao would not stop them.
After all, Yang Zhao and his friends also need to play more with their peers.
Chu Yao regretted it when she was washing clothes. It had only been a few days since she took care of them. These brats went out clean every day and came back covered in mud.
Fortunately, the weather is hot now and the clothes can be dried quickly after washing, otherwise they would not be enough for these little brats to make.
So the whole summer it is a paradise for children and a laundry pool for adults.
Some parents directly beat their children with sticks and batons until they cried and screamed. Yang Zhao and his children were fine. Apart from being spanked a few times by their father, nothing else happened. They still had a lot of fun.
Amidst her daily busyness, Chu Yao has already completed two-thirds of her novel, and only needs to finish the rest.
Some of the previous stories have already been published in newspapers, and the royalties have been sent to Chu Yao. This time the royalties are as much as 500 yuan. Although it is not as much as the total of the previous short stories, Chu Yao is already very happy.
At least this is my first attempt at a long novel and it was successful.
Chu Yao decided to cook a delicious meal to reward herself today.
"A Zhao, come here for a moment. Mom needs your help with something."
Yang Zhao was writing with his younger brothers. When he heard his mother calling him, he immediately ran out. Yang Zhang and Yang Xuan also put down the copybooks in their hands and ran to their mother together.
"Mom, what's wrong? Is there anything you need A Zhao to run errands for?" Yang Zhao asked Chu Yao with his head tilted.
Chu Yao kissed Yang Zhao on the forehead affectionately.
"Go to the road and see if Dad is heading home. If you see him, tell him to come back quickly to help Mom."
"Okay, Zhao got it, I'll go then." After saying that, he ran out without seeing his brothers' eager eyes.
When Chu Yao saw A Zhang and A Xuan, she knew that the two little ones wanted to go out and play again, but how could Chu Yao let them do as they wished?
"Ah Zhang and Ah Xuan, have you finished practicing your calligraphy today?"
Yang Zhang and Yang Xuan lowered their heads and clasped their hands in front of their abdomens.
When Chu Yao saw the two men's attitude, she knew that they were here to seek her sympathy again. She didn't know how these two guys could act so pitifully.
"Okay, okay, then you guys follow your brother and go take a look. Don't run around. Come back for dinner later." The two little ones were immediately happy. They hurriedly kissed their mother's face and ran outside.
Chu Yao wiped the saliva from her face, thinking that if these two little guys had known what to do, she would definitely be soft-hearted. And now, this trick has always worked on her, and they always succeed.
Chu Yao smiled and started to prepare today's dinner.
The weather is still a bit hot, so Chu Yao plans to make some refreshing meals today.
Of course, cold noodles are more suitable for summer.
Chu Yao had made cold noodles countless times and knew every step by heart. She began to prepare them skillfully.
First, knead a large basin of dough, and then keep kneading it until the dough is extremely smooth, so that it will be chewy when eaten. After it is almost done, prepare clean water in the basin and knead the kneaded dough vigorously in the basin. When the clean water is kneaded into a thick consistency, change the water and repeat the previous steps.
Finally, only a little bit of dough is left after kneading. Put it in a pot and steam it, then cut it into gluten.
After the noodles have settled for a certain period of time, take out the previously prepared pot and spread the noodles evenly with a spoonful of noodles, then start steaming. Repeat this several times and the cold skin is basically successful.
Chu Yao was busy in an orderly manner. Yang Zhao and his brothers had already arrived at the entrance of the unit, and their father was still picking watermelons on an ox cart.
These watermelons were brought here by fellow villagers nearby. Unexpectedly, they were snatched away here all of a sudden. Yang Hang had a hard time grabbing two.
"Dad, let me help you get it." Yang Zhao was very eager to help his father.
But he couldn't hold the watermelon in his father's hand.
Yang Zhao looked up at his father and realized that his father was smiling very happily.
"Dad, how could you do this?"
Yang Hang looked at his eldest son's accusing eyes and smiled a little embarrassedly. Was he bullying the weak?
Yang Hang put down the two watermelons in his arms and touched his sons' hair. The children's hair was soft and messy, but it was black and shiny. Yang Hang couldn't let go of his sons' hair.
"Ah Zhao, A Zhang, A Xuan, how come you are free to come and pick up daddy today?"
"It was because Mom asked Dad to come home early that I came out with my brothers."
"Then Zhao, you two can just follow Daddy, okay? Daddy's holding the watermelon, so he doesn't have a hand free to hold your hand."
"I know, Dad. I will hold my brothers' hands."
After Yang Zhao finished speaking, he held his two younger brothers, one on each side, and followed behind his father.
When Yang Hang returned with his sons, Chu Yao's dinner was almost ready.
"There's still watermelon at this hour. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat."
"Yeah, just when I was coming home from get off work, a fellow villager was buying some near my workplace, so I thought of buying two to eat. Anyway, this is the last time I'll eat watermelon this year."
