Chapter three hundred and ninety first child leader
It was a rare occasion for the sons to come back, and the family reunion was particularly lively.
"Mom, where are the third younger siblings? Why haven't you seen Yuanyuan, Pingping and the others?"
Xue Xiulin looked around and saw no sign of Su Anying in the room, not even the children from the third family's family. She couldn't help but be surprised.
"Ah? Isn't Yingzi busy cooking in the yard? Then he probably went home to light the fire.
Yuanyuan is leading a group of children to do homework at home, and the room is too cold.
It’s okay, I’ll call them all over for dinner later.” Zhou Guilan raised his head, glanced at it, and said with a smile.
There were so many people and chaos here when pigs were being slaughtered, so Su Anying told the children to stay at home.
When it's time to study, just play for a while, don't come over to join in the fun, just call them when you're waiting to eat.
Xu Haiqing and Xu Jinhui are both too young. What if they are injured if they cannot be seen? There is fire and hot water in the yard.
"Oh, I thought my sister-in-law was busy with something. If she is busy, we can go over and help her."
Xue Xiulin smiled and asked tentatively, "Mom, have all the clivias at home been sold? Do you still have them with your siblings?"
Zhou Guilan was coaxing the children to play, and she was very happy. Suddenly she heard this sentence, and her smile gradually faded.
"Well, you guys sit down first. I'll go out and see how the meat is in the pot. If it's done, we'll start dinner."
Zhou Guilan didn't answer the question, put on her shoes and went out to see if the food was ready.
In the yard, Su Anhua, Ji Yufeng, the wives of Zhao Jianshe, Huang Shengli and others were all busy.
When he saw Zhou Guilan coming out, he smiled and said hello.
"Auntie, the meat is ready. Take it out and let it cool. Then just cut it and put it on a plate. The rice is also stewed. The gold and silver rice is delicious."
Gold and silver rice is usually cooked with small ballast and rice. When the rice is cooked, there are yellow and white rice grains, so it is called gold and silver rice.
But the Xu family’s dish today is different. They use rhubarb rice and rice.
Rhubarb rice is glutinous. When cooked with rice, the rice will be sweet, soft and glutinous, with a yellow and white color, which is delicious and beautiful.
"Thank you for your hard work. It's such a cold day that we all came over to help. Let's call the children over later and let's eat together."
Zhou Guilan didn't even treat them politely, she said nothing but thanks.
Those who are able to help today are all well-connected. If you are too polite, you will become obviously unfamiliar.
“Auntie, there’s no need to call them over to eat, those live monkeys are too capable of causing trouble.
We'll just load up the food and send it over later, and let them do it over there. Once we've done enough, we'll go back and clean up."
Li Chunlan, Zhao Jianshe's daughter-in-law, said with a smile.
There are a lot of people here, especially the children of the Xu family are back. With so many children together, it would be bad if they start fighting again.
Since the two groups can't go together, it's better to have dinner separately.
Those naughty children are more comfortable when they are not in the presence of adults.
Zhao Tingting and Yang Jianguo are both grown up, especially Xu Haiyuan. Even though he is younger, he is the leader of that group of children.
As long as Xu Haiyuan stops wandering and has him to control the situation, those naughty kids will not dare to get angry and will just keep doing their homework and eating.
"That's okay. The dishes are the same anyway. Let's serve more meat to the children."
This is indeed the case. Children are more comfortable when they are not in the presence of adults. Okay, let the children play.
While she was talking, Su Anying came back. She had indeed gone home to see the children and lighted the fire.
"Sister-in-law, how is the house? Is the roof of the house lifted?"
When Ji Yufeng saw Su Anying coming back, she deliberately joked.
"It's okay, they're all pretty well-behaved. Yuanyuan is watching them practice calligraphy.
Our family Xu Haiyuan said that if anyone doesn't write beautifully today, they won't be allowed to eat meat.
All of them are anxious to eat meat, and they are all writing hard."
Su Anying wanted to laugh when she thought of what she saw when she went home just now.
In the west room, everyone who goes to school or is about to go to school, no matter how big or small, even Zhao Tingting and Yang Jianguo are under Xu Haiyuan's supervision and practicing calligraphy.
Xu Haiyuan also held a pointer in his hand. While watching Sun Yu and Yang Jianjun write, he scolded them with a stern face as he thought their handwriting was ugly.
"Your Xiaoyu, our Pingping, and the younger ones are both jealous of my fox and hang around the deadbeat."
Yang Haoyu and Xu Jinping are very smart children. They have basically finished the first semester of primary school classes.
I guess it was because Xu Haiyuan was staring at these two all day long. They were both good at calligraphy, so they were allowed to play with the children.
The little ones are all very fond of the deadbeat, and the deadbeat is also very patient with the children, and the children will not be annoyed no matter how much they rub him.
The house was not as messy as expected, but rather peaceful and harmonious, and the children were very well-behaved.
"Sister-in-law, your Yuanyuan family is really amazing. You can control those skinny monkeys."
Hu Yanqiu, Yang Chunming's daughter-in-law, laughed when she heard this, but was more moved by emotion.
They are all children. Xu Haiyuan went to school at the age of six and was able to be a class monitor with both good character and academic performance.
The children of their family go to school at the age of eight, but they are not good at anything and only know how to play all day long.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that Xu Haiyuan can become the leader of the children.
No matter what time, ability comes first, regardless of age, a capable person, no matter how young he is, can still be the leader.
"Mom, since the food is ready, let's pack up and eat?
Eat breakfast and rest early. All relatives will be here tomorrow, so it will be very busy." Su Anying turned around and asked Zhou Guilan's opinion.
Zhou Guilan nodded, and everyone started to work together, those serving vegetables and those serving rice.
The Xu family killed two pigs today, cooked the meat in a large pot, and simmered a large pot of rice. There were also steamed buns that had been steamed in advance. It didn't matter if they were eaten open.
Sauerkraut, white meat and blood sausage, soy sauce big bones, garlic white meat, and pig offal platter.
Anyway, it doesn’t require much refinement, as long as it’s large and filling.
All the food was served in small enamel basins and served on the table.
"Sister-in-law, you go back to eat. I'll stay and look after the children. Tell my sister that you don't have to wait for me."
Su Anhua, together with Li Chunlan and Ji Yufeng, brought a lot of food back to the children and arranged for them to eat.
Originally, Ji Yufeng said she wanted to stay, how could Su Anhua let her?
Urging Li Chunlan and Ji Yufeng to go back to eat quickly, she could just stay and take care of the children.
When Ji Yufeng and Li Chunlan saw it, they couldn't argue with Su Anhua, so they just told the children not to be naughty.
"Eat well. Listen to my aunt and don't get into trouble. If anyone is naughty, I'll beat him up later."
Aunt, of course I am talking about Su Anhua. Among these children, except Zhou Zhicheng and Zhou Cuiling from Zhou Qing Country, all the others are called Xu Haiyuan.
"I know." A group of children responded in unison.
In this way, Li Chunlan and Ji Yufeng returned to Xu Chenghou's home.
When I entered the room, I saw that there were men on the Kang table in the east room and two tables on the floor in the west room. There were women with their children.
"Sister-in-law, sister An Hua is staying over there. She said she wanted to keep an eye on the children." Ji Yufeng sat down next to Su Anying and whispered.
Before Su Anying could say anything, Wu Qiuyan suddenly said, "Sister-in-law three, where are Haiyuan and the others?"
Haiyang always talks about wanting to play with Haiyuan at home, but why haven’t we seen Haiyuan and the others come over for dinner?”
