butcher's little man

After returning home, Tian Xiaoman took out all the dried fruits bought today, and soaked the ones that needed to be soaked. The two kinds of rice had to be soaked for a long time, so that the porridge would be sweet and glutinous tomorrow.

After a simple dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest after washing.

Tian Xiaoman got up early the next morning, Li Wenxuan was still sleeping on the bed, today was a holiday, there were no people on the street, and all the things that needed to be bought were bought yesterday.

Li Wenxuan originally wanted to pull Tian Xiaoman into bed with him, but Tian Xiaoman still remembered that he had a difficult task ahead of him today, so he cruelly rejected his request, and pushed him back with a palm.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, Tian Xiaoman went into the kitchen with a candle, saw that the soaked things in the basin had soaked, and he drained them and picked them up.

It's really cold now, thick frost formed on the withered grass outside, some water on the ground also froze, and it creaked when stepped on, Tian Xiaoman came out to have a look while the fire was still burning.

But it's strange, it's usually snowing at this time, but it hasn't snowed this year.It is often said that auspicious snow heralds a good year.The farmers are still looking forward to the snow in their hearts.

"Why are you standing outside?" Li Wenxuan suddenly called out while standing at the kitchen door.

"Why did you wake up? It's rare to be able to sleep for a while, you go on to sleep, I can do it alone." Tian Xiaoman said.

"Does it hurt me?"

"Who loves you? You know how to put gold on your face!" Tian Xiaoman spat at him, walked around him into the kitchen.

"Oh, Xiaoman, you are dishonest, but he is honest!" Li Wenxuan said pretending to be disappointed.

Tian Xiaoman jumped up immediately, "Okay, who is honest? Who said he loves you? Tell me clearly!"

Li Wenxuan burst out laughing, "Who else? My husband! Who else will love me besides him!"

"You scoundrel!" Tian Xiaoman rushed up to punch and kick, Li Wenxuan easily dodged, and used words to provoke him from time to time.

"What are you young couple doing this early in the morning? Practicing martial arts?" Li Amu got up too, and teased when she saw the two of them.

"Mum, he bullied me!" Tian Xiaoman complained.

"Hey, how dare this daring bully you? Let's see Ah Mu teach him a lesson!" Li Ah Mu stepped forward and grabbed Li Wenxuan by the ear, and carried him out, while Tian Xiaoman laughed happily behind him.

In fact, he also knew that Li Wenxuan was not hurt, but he was happy in his heart. It was a good feeling that someone was in charge.What's more, if it really hurts, he shouldn't feel bad...

Tian Xiaoman put the ingredients into the pot in the order of easy cooking, and cooked this big pot of sweet and glutinous Laba porridge.

Soon, it was dawn.A large group of children flocked to the gate of Tian Xiaoman's courtyard together, because he was the only new husband this year.

Hearing the knock on the door, Li Amu rushed over to open the door, seeing so many little faces raised up at the same time, staring at him expectantly, his heart became limp.

"Come in quickly! Laba porridge is already cooked."

Tian Xiaoman was using a small bowl to fill up the porridge in the pot. Twenty or thirty children each had a bowl, and they ate deliciously. Eating such a bowl of hot and sweet Laba porridge on a cold day makes people really happy. feel happy.

These children discussed in low voices, some said they like dates, some said they like lotus seeds, and there are some things they don't know, but they all like to eat them.

It was the first time that Brother Le saw so many children gathered together, and he would look up at them from time to time while eating Laba porridge.

After eating, some children dropped their bowls and ran away. Some children even knew how to say thank you, and some more sensible ones collected all the bowls eaten by others to make it easier for them to clean up.

Seeing that Le Geer wanted to play with them, Li Amu let him go. There were people from the village on the left and right, but he still ordered him not to go far.There was an older child holding his hand, and Le Geer looked very happy.

"Mum, have all the children from the village come?" Tian Xiaoman looked at the porridge left in the pot, and didn't know what to do with it. It would be cold if it was served for a while, but if it was not served, it would wait for other things Can't do it again.

"Let's think about it..." Li Amu counted all the children in the village, "Did you see Kid Lin just now?"

"It seems not, he didn't come." Tian Xiaoman thought for a while, but he really didn't see him.

"It was fine yesterday. Could it be that Mother Liu didn't let him come? Or is he shy? Xiao Man, you can fill up the porridge. If he comes later, you can warm it up for him."

"Ok!"

Liu Xilin was indeed shy, he cried so loudly yesterday, everyone must have heard it!As he walked, he threw the small stone in his hand forward.

Suddenly, he heard a cry, thin, sounding very sad.

Out of curiosity, he went over to have a look, and found that it was the little brother from yesterday.He sat under the tree, tightly clutching the purse in his hand, looking left and right from time to time, whimpering all the time.

"Why are you here?" Liu Xilin asked him.

"Brother ran away!" Le Ge'er was led out, and after playing for a while, they said they were playing a game of chasing people, running and running, and Le Ge'er, who was the slowest, was left behind.

"Do you want to go back? Shall I take you back?" Liu Xilin saw him crying pitifully, sitting here again, probably because he didn't know the way home.

"En!" Le Geer stopped crying when he saw someone, he hummed, and then raised his hands naturally, he was tired from walking and wanted to hug him.

Liu Xilin didn't understand what he meant and just stared at him.Le Geer kept holding it up, seeing that he couldn't understand, so he said this word, hug!

Liu Xilin is six or seven years old, and Le Geer is less than two years old, but he is a child, how can he hug another child?He tried it, wrapped his arms around his body, lifted it for a while but failed to lift it up, then tried hard again, got up this time, but immediately fell down again.

Brother Le is very distressed, will this brother know how to hug people?

Liu Xilin was also very distressed, he felt that this younger brother was a bit fat.

"How about I ask Grandma Li to hug you?" He wanted to leave after saying that.

Brother Le quickly grabbed him, "Don't go!" Then he wanted to cry a little.

"Can I take you back? My brother can't hold you!" Liu Xilin discussed with him.

"Okay." Le Geer thought for a while, it's okay to hold him, anyway, he wants to go home.

The courtyard door was knocked again, Tian Xiaoman was processing the hair on the pig's trotters, after hearing the sound, he put down his things and went to open the door, "Boy Lin, come quickly, I'll heat you a bowl of porridge."

Tian Xiaoman greeted him, but Liu Xilin didn't move, the little tail came out behind him, "Brother Le? Didn't you go to play with brother?" Tian Xiaoman was very surprised, why did Kid Lin bring it back?

"Brother, run, quickly! It's gone!" Le Ge'er gestured, and when he said that he was gone, there was a disappointed expression on his face, and he sighed.

"Then this brother took you home, didn't he?"

"Yeah!" Brother Le nodded again and again, so smart.Then he thought of another thing, "Brother don't hug!"

"Xiao Man, I can't hold him!" Liu Xilin quickly explained whether he hugged him or not.

Tian Xiaoman laughed so hard, this little fat man is going to tell me?People can't even hug her...
