Xu Shiyan was riding his bike home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his two little ones playing in the yard.
Both of these children were able to walk when they were only one year old, but now they are walking very slowly.
After successfully evolving from a four-legged beast to a two-legged beast, these two babies can no longer be contained. They run into the yard all day long and cannot be let out.
"Qingqing, Huihui, come on, come over and see dad. Let's see what dad has bought for you."
Xu Shiyan parked his bicycle, waved to the children, and then took out something wrapped in a towel from his diagonal pocket.
"Popsicles, creamy ones, come on, one for each of you."
Cream popsicles, five cents each, new from the store.
Xu Shiyan just passed by and saw it, and bought a few for his children.
I even borrowed a teapot to put it in and wrapped it in a towel, for fear that it would melt too quickly.
"dad."
Xu Shiyan brought food back from get off work every day. The two children were very happy to see their father. They jumped on their short legs and ran towards their father with giggles.
These two have just learned to walk less than two months ago, so they are running with their legs up.
Seeing the two babies stumbling towards him, Xu Shiyan was so worried that he hurried up to meet them and held the two little ones in his arms.
"Here, take one each."
Xu Shiyan untied the towel, took out popsicles from the teapot with a lid, and gave one to each of the two children.
"Yuanyuan, Pingping, what are you two doing? You don't even come to eat the popsicles?"
The two younger ones were holding popsicles and were very happy, but the two older ones were poking at the corner for no reason, even ignoring their father when he came home.
Xu Shiyan walked over and found these two looking at the ants on the ground.
"Dad, look, my brother ate the cake and dropped the crumbs on the floor, and then many ants came over.
I used the hygiene ball my mother kept in the closet and drew a circle here.
Then all the ants became stupid and couldn't find their way home, so they all wandered around in this circle, which was really fun."
Xu Haiyuan pointed to the ants circling on the ground and explained to Xu Shiyan.
"Our teacher said that ants find their way by smell, and it's true." Xu Haiyuan showed off to his father with a proud look on his face.
Xu Shiyan was speechless and rolled his eyes. This naughty kid can do anything. He has nothing to do all day long and is causing trouble to ants.
"You have some time off on vacation, right?"
Bear stuff, since the breeding class has gone on summer vacation, this guy has been herding sheep, and he has nothing to do every day.
This made Su Anying angry every day, and sometimes Xu Shiyan would be in trouble even when he came home.
"I have already arranged for you to find someone to arrange for you to go to the first grade of elementary school in the fall, and it will happen to be with Shuqing.
You only have these few days of leisure left, waiting until you go to elementary school. If you don’t study hard, see how I can slap you."
Xu Shiyan raised his hand, pinched his son's cheek, and then handed the popsicle to the two elders.
"Come on, let's eat first and don't harm those ants. Look at the dirt all over your body. Will your mother beat you up when she sees it?"
I don’t know where this kid was made, and his pants are all covered in dirt.
"Has your mother come back? Has the family cooked?" Xu Shiyan asked while patting his son's pants.
In fact, there is no need to ask. If Su Anying came back, how could Xu Haiyuan dare to cause such a situation?
"You two eat slowly and watch your brothers and sisters while I cook." Xu Shiyan stood up and was about to go into the house to cook.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
As a result, as soon as they entered the door, they saw Su Anfang and Su Anhua carrying food and heading to the east room.
"Young, have you two prepared the food? I was still thinking about cooking.
Your second sister hasn’t gotten off work yet? Is the breeding farm so busy?”
The two sisters stayed at home to take care of Clivia and four naughty children. They also had to wash clothes and cook, which was tiring for them.
Xu Shiyan was busy working on the farm, while Su Anying was busy working on the breeding farm and the brigade's farm.
The couple could no longer take care of their family. Fortunately, they still had Zhou Guilan and the Su sisters. Otherwise, their family would have been devastated and they would not even have food to eat.
"Well, the second sister said that the breeding farm has been breeding sables these days, and she will be back later these days."
Sables are not social animals, so males and females are separated, and the breeding season requires special management.
Su Anying didn't dare to be careless and tried her best to keep an eye on her, just for fear of an accident.
The scale of the breeding farm is a bit bigger this year, with over a hundred otters, both large and small.
The number of sables is small. About twenty young sables were born in the beginning of spring. At present, it seems that we have to raise them slowly and not in a hurry.
Deer and musk deer have also added many new members, and their populations are constantly expanding. This spring, a crop of deer antlers was sold for a lot of money.
Xu Shiyan and Su Anying have calculated that raising deer and musk deer is more profitable. This is a sustainable resource. There is no need to kill deer or musk deer, and there is income every year.
Of course, sables and otters can also be sold for a lot of money. We sold some breeding otters a while ago and made more money than selling otter skins.
Others came to inquire about breeding sables. Su Anying felt that the breeding rate of sables was low and the population was not yet prosperous, so she did not want to sell them for the time being and would wait for two years.
Ever since Su Anying took charge of the breeding farm, she has been particularly attentive to these animals.
Isn't this the sable's mating period? She is worried about it, so she goes over to look after it every day and takes care of it carefully.
Anyway, Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui were also weaned, so Su Anying simply didn't come back at noon. She ate there and went home in the evening.
Just as he was talking, he heard the movement of bicycles outside, and then Su Anying's voice sounded.
"Who bought you the popsicles? It's almost night, and you feel so cold. How will you eat later?"
Well, needless to say, Su Anying must have been unhappy when she saw the children eating popsicles.
"Daughter-in-law, I bought them. Today there are new cream popsicles in the store. I bought four of them for the children.
It’s hot, it doesn’t matter if you let them eat something, don’t delay their meal.”
Xu Shiyan quickly came out of the house and explained to his wife.
These kids in his family are so tough, a popsicle will be fine.
Generally speaking, children with weak spleen and stomach should not eat many cold foods, as they are prone to poor digestion.
Xu Shiyan wouldn't dare to feed people like Yang Haoyu. He was not afraid of his own little donkeys. It was okay to eat them once in a while.
These days are not the future, every household has a refrigerator, and children eat cold food all day long.
"You got off work early today and came back earlier than me."
When Su Anying saw her husband at home, she smiled and leaned her bicycle against the garden stick.
After taking over the breeding farm, Su Anying has changed a lot compared to before.
The original braid was cut off and cut into a No. 5 hairstyle.
Maybe it was because the days were a little long and she didn't have time to clean up, and the weather was also hot, so she used a flower handkerchief to gather her hair up and tie it into a short ponytail.
Wearing a blue floral top with a white background and blue-gray trousers, she is fit and slim, and her outfit is refreshing and neat.
If Su Anying was gentle and at home before, now she is more capable and sharp, her eyebrows are more confident and calm, and her temperament is different from before.
Xu Shiyan saw the change in his wife and was happy in his heart.
No one has to devote himself to the family, and a woman should also have her own career.
Men should not trap their wives at home in the name of family. Give women a suitable space. They will never be worse than men.
Of course, it was fortunate that they had helpers at home, otherwise, everything would have been a mess.
As long as the husband and wife work together and get through this difficult time, things will get better in the future.
