However, sister-in-law, you should be careful. When practicing Tai Chi in the future, you must avoid other people. Actually, it doesn't have to be outside; it can be done indoors too.
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry! I will definitely train hard. Putting everything else aside, just for the sake of the children, I want to live a few more years."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Be safe and sound, and from now on you must listen to your aunt, okay?"
"Don't Mom and Dad want me and my brother anymore?"
"How could I abandon you and your brother?"
"Didn't your parents tell you? Your parents are going to work and can't take you with them, so we're leaving you with your uncle and aunt."
But I don't want to leave my mom and dad.
"I don't want to either, Mom and Dad."
"Okay, stop crying, okay? We're safe and sound men, and men know what to do."
"A real man bleeds, but doesn't shed tears."
"An'an is right, you two are men, you shouldn't cry."
"But, but I can't help it."
"It's okay, Pingping. You're still young, it's okay to cry."
"Mom, Pingping and An'an didn't cry."
"Because your uncle and aunt are going back."
"Then aren't you going back safely?"
"They're not going back; they'll both stay at home from now on."
"Really? But it's nothing."
"Because your uncle and his family are going to their workplace and it's inconvenient for them to take their two younger brothers with them, Mantou, you are the older brother, you have to take care of them, understand?"
"Like taking care of steamed buns and red bean buns?"
Yes, but...
"But what, Mom?"
"Although you are a little smaller than me but a little bigger than Baozi, they were born prematurely and were not properly cared for at birth, so they are weaker. Therefore, you can't take care of them like you would Baozi; you have to take care of them like you would Doubao."
Is it that complicated?
"No, that's not necessary. It just means we can't let them eat raw or cold food, and we can't take them running around everywhere, understand?"
"When will they be able to travel around like me and Baozi?"
"Then Doubao has to be at least as big as you before it's okay."
"Alright! As long as they can run and jump later, we can deal with the inconvenience for now!"
"But Mom? Can I learn the boxing that Ping An and An practiced this morning?"
"Sure! But you have to practice every day."
"no problem"
"Then after you've learned it, you can teach Ping'an and An'an to practice together."
"Okay! Okay!"
"Brother, sister-in-law, this is half a bag of red dates for you, and some things that women can eat to replenish their blood and qi, like white fungus, which I picked myself in the mountains before."
There's also half a bag of herbs in here that I dug up on the mountain before. Use these for now. I've also taught you how to preserve and process the others. When you get there, brother, go and dig up more when you have time.
As for this bag, it's the food I prepared for you. Most of it is refined grains, so you can secretly give it to your sister-in-law to supplement her diet.
This bag is mostly mountain produce, with only a little bit of cured meat. We'll save it for later. I originally planned to make some meat sauce for you, but I was worried it wouldn't keep in the heat, so I didn't. Next time I come, I'll definitely make more for you to take back."
"Sister-in-law, why prepare so much stuff? This really won't do. Besides, we..."
"Sister-in-law, just take it with you! It's hard to say whether you'll have enough to eat wherever you go, and with your current health, you definitely need to take good care of yourself."
As for Ping'an and An'an, you can rest assured and leave them to me! I will definitely take good care of them, and when you come again, I guarantee they will be two tall and strong young men.”
"Sister-in-law, look at what you're saying. As long as they don't cause you too much trouble, it's fine. If they misbehave in the future, you can beat them up as you please."
“Sister-in-law, you can’t say that. Putting everything else aside, just look at these two kids. I can’t bear to beat them.”
"I'll be relying on you for my sister-in-law's sake from now on."
"It's no trouble at all. Once you get to your new place, be sure to write back. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll send it to you. It's not convenient in the countryside, but it's not a big problem."
"Okay, don't worry! I will definitely write to you."
"Come on, stay safe and sound, and say goodbye to your mom and dad."
Goodbye, Dad and Mom.
"Good children don't cry"
"The train has arrived, we need to hurry."
"good"
"Brother, let me carry your things onto the train."
"good"
"Elder brother and sister-in-law, don't forget to write."
"I can't forget it, come back soon!"
"good"
Watching the train disappear into the distance, Ping An and An An gradually stopped crying.
"Let's go! Be safe and sound, don't cry anymore. How about your aunt treats you to big meat buns?"
"Big meat buns"
"Yes, big meat buns."
"Oh! Time to eat big meat buns!"
"Mantou, is Mommy starving you?"
"No, then why are you so excited?"
"But it really tastes delicious."
"Mom, don't eat steamed buns."
Why?
"Don't eat me! Don't eat me!"
"Who said I wanted to eat yours? I wanted to eat big meat buns!"
"Isn't that me?"
"This is Phoebe's steamed bun; you'll find out soon enough."
"oh"
"Is it delicious?"
"tasty"
"Please be safe and sound. Since you two have sensitive stomachs, you can each eat one for now. As for the other one, you can reheat it in a pot tonight and eat it then, okay?"
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
"After we finish eating, let's go take a look at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"What is Mom going to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative? Do we have any ration coupons?"
"Mom has some ration coupons. I'll go buy each of you a pencil and a notebook, and then I'll teach you to recognize and write characters."
"Auntie, once my brother and I learn to write, can we write letters to our parents?"
"Yes, even if you can't write now, you can still draw."
"Really?"
"Of course, I'll teach you then, okay, An'an?"
"good"
"Third Brother, look what this is!"
"The money that came from elsewhere"
"We were just cleaning up; we found it in the room where my older brother and sister-in-law live."
"Didn't they give out the money they brought a couple of days ago? How much is here?"
Wait a minute.
"good"
"Third Brother, here's a total of 500 yuan."
"This should be the bride price our parents gave to my sister-in-law."
"That money"
"Let's not take it. Let's open an account for the two kids and save some money when we have time!"
"Okay, then we'll save the money my sister-in-law and the others gave us a couple of days ago. As for the tickets, we'll use them when we need them!"
"Okay, you figure it out! But now there are two more kids in the family, can you handle it?"
"It's alright, you don't need to worry about that. In the past few years, when Dad isn't busy, he usually comes here to gather pig feed and such, and he can help look after the kids for a while."
Besides, our kids aren't exactly known for their resilience, and they're certainly more well-behaved than we think, with Ping'an and An'an being the most obedient ones.
