In the afternoon, Li Ruyi woke up earlier than she and Ding Ping'an. She got off the kang alone and called her brother when she went out.

Ding Pingan nuzzled into her arms and fell asleep again. Mao Xiaosui also squinted for a while, and when he woke up, Ding Pingan was still sleeping.

She was woken up, put on her cotton-padded clothes and took her to the main room.

There was no one in the main room, and there was a rabbit leg on the plate on the clay stove. Mao Xiaosui picked it up and gave it to Ding Pingan to eat, and then took her to the backyard.

Li Yunshan and Ding Pingshun were killing rabbits in the backyard, while Li Ankang and Li Ruyi stared at them.

As soon as Ding Pingan passed by, he squeezed between the two of them. Li Ankang stared at the meat in her hand. Ding Pingan gave him a bite and asked Li Ruyi, "Do you want to eat it?"

Li Ruyi shook her head, "I'm full."

Ding Ping was taller and slimmer, and he was becoming more and more handsome. Mao Xiaosui stared at it for a while, then stood up and said, "You guys, go inside because it's cold. Auntie has gone to the mountains and will grill fish for you when she comes back."

"I'll go too." Ding Ping'an quickly stood up.

Li Yunshan said, "The mountain is very steep and it will be very slippery when it is snowing. I will take you to catch fish and dig for mushrooms when you come next spring."

Ding Ping'an agreed, waving his hands to Mao Xiaosui and saying, "Auntie, come back soon."

Mao Xiaosui closed the courtyard door before leaving.

There were not many people digging leaves on the mountain at the moment. She came back after digging. Coming from the field, Mao Mingzhu stood by the wall and asked, "Who is coming to your house today?"

"The butcher's boy."

"Is there someone coming to his house?"

"It's just the kids coming."

Mao Mingzhu wanted to ask Ding Ping'an again and ran out after hearing the noise.

Mao Mingzhu said hurriedly, "Let me take a look at what this child looks like. He sounds very cute."

Mao Xiaosui responded and put the leaves in the shed.

Mao Mingzhu came up quickly, stared at Ding Pingshun and Ding Ping'an for a while, and said, "If you grow up so handsome from now on, just follow his father."

This was somewhat embarrassing to Ding Pingshun's ears. Mao Xiaosui smiled and said, "Of course he is handsome."

"This little girl is pretty too, so let her be her mother, right?"

"It's quite similar." Mao Xiaosui asked a few people, "Why don't you come in for a warm party?"

Ding Ping'an and Li Ankang stood up, while Li Ruyi squatted and did not move.

Mao Xiaosui said to Li Yunshan, "You go to the side house and kill me to shovel a basket of soil. It's very cold here."

"Pingshun, go back to the house, I'm fine."

"I'm not cold." Ding Pingshun said.

"I'm going to shovel the soil." Mao Xiaosui looked at Mao Mingzhu, "You guys go sit in the room first, I'll be right away."

After Li Yunshan peeled the one in his hand, he grabbed a cage and carried it to the side room.

There are two sacks spread on the floor of the side house, with a thick layer of soil on top of the sacks.

The kang is heated, the clay stove is lit, and it is very warm.

Li Yunshan asked Ding Pingshun, "Do you help your father kill pigs at home?"

"Kill" Ding Pingshun said, "I am weak and can't help much."

"You are growing now. In two or three years you will be strong and strong.

Ding Pingshun nodded, "I can help dad then. He and grandpa have worked too hard."

Li Yunshan nodded.

In the main room, Mao Xiaosui took some dried fish and was roasting them. The first two pieces were torn into pieces, and the spines were removed for the children to eat. The second two were removed from the spines and given to the two people in the side room. Finally, a few more were roasted for her and Mao. Pearl to eat.

Li Ruyi was about to go out after eating, and Mao Xiaosui asked her, "Where are you going?"

"Looking for brother Pingshun."

Mao Xiaosui was a little surprised, "You like brother Pingshun so much?"

Li Ruyi nodded and left.

Mao Mingzhu laughed when she saw it, "That child looks quite good."

"His parents taught him well." Mao Xiaosui touched Ding Pingan's head again and said, "His children are very well-behaved."

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang play well together. Ding Pingan talks a lot, but Li Ankang listens carefully.

Ding Ping'an was pampered by Ding Pingshun at home, and now she suddenly felt like a big sister, taking care of Li Ankang in everything.

Mao Mingzhu looked at her for a while and asked, "Are you planning to have a baby? I think Ankang also likes this girl."

"It's more than two years apart." Mao Xiaosui said, "When Ankang reaches the age of marriage, she will be a grown-up girl."

It doesn't matter. As long as they are willing, it doesn't matter if they are five or six years apart.

"This girl is about the same age as Shi'er."

Mao Xiaosui nodded.

After sitting for a while, Ding Ping'an and Li Ankang also went to the side room. Mao Mingzhu looked around the room and said, "You haven't bought this oil paper yet?"

"I don't even expect him to remember it." Mao Xiaosui said, "I will sew a piece of cloth to cover it up in a few days."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon." Mao Mingzhu said, "There's only one month left."

"When will you steam the steamed buns?"

"It's past the middle of the year, it's too early and it makes me hungry, by the way." Mao Mingzhu asked, "Do you have an introduction at your house?"

Mao Xiaosui: "You didn't stay?"

"What's left? I only have some white flour at home, and I won't have any left after this year."

Mao Xiaosui went to get a piece for her. "The bean noodles and millet noodles are also delicious. Yunshan and I like them very much."

"Will your family grow wheat next year?"

"It depends on what Li Yunshan wants." According to Li Yunshan's intention of buying manure, he should plant it. If more fertilization can make the wheat yield equal to that of millet, then his family will probably grow wheat more often in the future.

Mao Mingzhu said, "It's convenient for you to have a mule now. If you want help, just ask."

"I know." Mao Xiaosui nodded.

It was getting late, and Mao Mingzhu was going back with the noodle introduction. Mao Xiaosui asked her, "Have you sold out all the dried beans?"

"There are three left, do you want them?"

"I have some at home. I'll give you some and you can take them home to eat."

"Why don't you sell money?" Mao Mingzhu asked.

Mao Xiaosui didn't reply. He went into the food room and took some for her. He sent her out before walking back into the house.

Mao Mingzhu does like to take advantage. To put it bluntly, her family is poor and her family is wealthy.

But Mao Mingzhu only takes advantage of small things, and she is not as confident as others, let alone wants this and that just because her family is rich now, and she really helps them with many things, so Mao Mingzhu I am not disgusted by the age.

She went to the side room and asked some children, "What do they want to eat?"

Li Ruyi immediately said, "Eat noodles."

"Where are you three?"

Ding Pingshun said, "Anything is fine." Ding Ping'an said, "Roast rabbit." Li Ankang said, "Roast rabbit."

"I have to rely on your uncle to bake the rabbit. I'm going to make noodles and fry some mushrooms."

She added, "I'll make buns for you tomorrow. Can you three come over and pick the soft-skinned vegetables?"

"Okay." Ding Pingan immediately pulled Li Ankang to his feet. Li Ruyi said to Ding Pingshun, "Brother Pingshun, I'm going back to work."

Ding Pingshun nodded and said, "Go."

After leaving the house, Mao Xiaosui asked her, "Do you like brother Pingshun so much?"

"I like it." Li Ruyi nodded, "Better looking than Ankang."

Li Ankang turned around after hearing this.

Mao Xiaosui could see the grievance on his face. Fortunately, Ding Ping'an pulled him to talk, and the grievance on his face quickly disappeared.
