Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

In the season of spring when flowers are blooming, everything is full of vitality and vigor. The birds singing on the branches and the butterflies flying among the flowers are all cheering for this beautiful season.

Such beauty only exists in the Jingxi mining area where Hope New Village is located, and in Nanluoguxiang where the office is located. Other places are full of irritability and dissatisfaction, like a restless demon, driving restless hearts.

Many people hope that the storm will subside soon so that life can get back on track, but the reality is often not as expected.

Compared with last year, this year's storm seemed to be even more violent. Everyone released the demons that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time. Armed conflicts of varying degrees broke out in various parts of Xia State, causing a large number of casualties and economic losses, including some primary and secondary school students.

In view of this situation, the authorities have begun to call on primary and secondary schools to resume classes. Regardless of what they learn every day, this is also a disguised restriction on primary and secondary school students.

There are fewer children playing in front of the office now, and those children who are of school age have been sent to school.

The people of Xia country still attach great importance to children's education. In their opinion, no matter what they learn in school, it is better than running around the streets every day.

At the door of the office, several children were playing. One of them was chubby and wore a green uniform, the kind of small military uniform. His round little face was rosy and his big eyes were like black grapes, black and bright. His laughter was crisp and pleasant.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you some candy."

He speaks clearly and logically, and no one would believe that he is a one-year-old child.

"Dad, Daddy."

The little girl climbed onto Liu Guozheng and pinched his nose with her chubby little hands in an attempt to wake him up from his rest with his eyes closed.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

Liu Guozheng picked up the little girl and asked gently.

"Dad, my friends want some candy."

The little girl's big black eyes sparkled with intelligence.

Lou Xiao'e on the side dotingly scratched the little girl's nose and said with a smile: "Your friend wants to eat candy? I think it's you who wants to eat candy, right?"

"No, no, it's my friend who wants to eat."

The little girl didn't dare to look at Lou Xiao'e, but buried her chubby little face in Liu Guozheng's arms. When she was at home, Lou Xiao'e was strict and didn't let her eat too much candy. The little girl would find all kinds of reasons and excuses to eat one more candy, and sometimes she would tell on her brother just to be rewarded with one more candy.

"Baby, how many friends do you have?"

"Five. No, six including me."

Liu Xiaoxiao counted on her fingers seriously and looked at the friend she had just met today.

"How about Daddy giving you six candies?"

"Dad, I want two."

When Liu Xiaoxiao was speaking, she deliberately leaned over to Liu Guozheng's ear, and from time to time she would steal a glance at Lou Xiao'e, observing her expression to see if she had heard what she said.

"Then daddy will give you..."

"Shh, Dad, keep your voice down so Mom can't hear you."

After saying that, Liu Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at Lou Xiaoe again.

"Funny."

"whee."

Liu Xiaoxiao ran away satisfied, and before leaving, she did not forget to kiss Liu Guozheng on the face.

"Liu Guozheng, how many candies did you give Xiaoxiao?"

Seeing Liu Xiaoxiao left without saying goodbye to her, Lou Xiao'e knew that she must give her some. When it came to food for children, especially candies, Liu Guozheng was always very generous.

"A few candies, do I need to count them?"

"Liu Guozheng, don't you know that eating too much candy is bad for children's teeth?"

As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e placed her hand on the softest part of Liu Guozheng's waist and gently turned it half a circle.

"hiss.."

"Liu Guozheng, just pretend and I'll make you hiss."

This time Lou Xiao'e really tried her best.

"Wife, wife, it hurts, it hurts."

"Haha, how much candy did you give Xiaoxiao?"

"No, but her little pocket is full."

"You, just spoil her."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Liu Guozheng, and stood up to collect the extra candies, but Liu Guozheng pulled her back, pointed at Liu Xiaoxiao who was distributing candies nearby, and said, "Wife, wife, look for yourself."

Liu Xiaoxiao took out all the candies from her pocket, took two for herself first, and then divided the rest equally among her friends. After dividing, she found that the last friend had two fewer candies than the others.

Liu Xiaoxiao looked at her friend, then looked at the two candies in her hand, and said, "I'll give you these two too. I'll go ask dad for more."

The little girl ran back again, snuggled up to Liu Guozheng and said carefully: "Dad, I want two more, just two."

"Be good, here, go play."

The little girl who got two candies ran away again.

"Wife, see, Xiaoxiao has more self-control than you think."

Lou Xiao'e said proudly: "It's because I taught you well."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, it's all thanks to my wife."

"Virtue."

Lou Xiao'e is very satisfied with her current life. This is what she had longed for before, and now all of it has come true. Her parents are in good health, her husband is considerate, and her children are well-behaved, sensible and kind. This life is worth it.

As the saying goes: Whatever you see, you love; whatever your heart desires, you find beauty.
