Peaceful year after year

The next day, Wang Xiaonian's whole family got up early, of course, except for the fat little Wang Chuyi who couldn't leave yet.

"Okay, today we will clean up the house, and you will be very happy when your father comes back." Mama Wang tied up her hair and said with a smile full of vigor.Married life didn't turn her into a woman completely, and her husband's enough doting made her not lose some of the vitality that only girls have.

"Understood." Wang Xiaonian and Wang Chuyue replied in unison.

Wang Xiaonian's house was rebuilt when his grandfather was still there. It has been several years now. Although it looks a bit old, it is still very strong and beautiful. This is also the result of careful maintenance by Wang Xiaonian's parents.The house looks like a small two-story villa, but it is not so exquisite. The outer wall is made of red bricks, and there are no tiles.

Entering the door is the living room, turning left is the kitchen, and the place where the kitchen is a little bit connected to the living room is the dining place.However, Wang Xiaonian and his family eat in the main room for a long time, that is, the living room.

Going up the stairs to the second floor, the first room is Wang Xiaonian's room, and then Wang Chuyue's room.The little fat man is now sleeping with Mama Wang, in the innermost place near the balcony.

The corridor on the second floor is facing the yard. If the peach trees grow luxuriantly in the corridor, you can pick peach blossoms.

The balcony faces the back mountain, but it is far away. Below it is an seldom-used road, and there are several families on the other side of the road.But most of the old people are at home, and the young people have gone out to work.Those families were diagonally opposite Wang Xiaonian's house, and Mother Wang liked to visit them when she was free on weekdays.

"Okay, then I'll assign tasks. Chuyue, you will clean the first floor, Xiaonian will clean the kitchen and the yard, and mom will clean the second floor. How about it? No problem." Mama Wang said excitedly with.After all, the children are surprisingly sensible and cute, how could she be upset as a mother.

Most importantly, my husband is coming back.Thinking of this, the corners of Ms. Wang's upturned mouth couldn't help but turn up again.

"No objection." Wang Chuyue answered first.

Wang Xiaonian was just about to say why he added the kitchen, but his sister stopped him with a look and didn't say anything.Hmph, good men don't fight women.

"Okay, let's act now." Mother Wang gave an order, turned around and began to tidy up.

Seeing her mother leaving, Wang Chuyue said to Wang Xiaonian, "Stinky boy, I have cleaned up the first floor by myself. If you have any opinions, please leave them to me. Otherwise, I will let him clean up when Dad comes back." I won't give you anything." After speaking, he showed a horribly creepy smile at him.

Wang Xiaonian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, rubbed his arms, and said, "Stop laughing, people who laugh are panicking. If you don't say it, don't say it, anyway, you still have to deal with it."

"Hmph, it's good to know." Wang Chuyue went into the house and began to pack things after saying that.

The yard of their house is not a concrete floor, but a common muddy floor.When it rained, it turned into muddy ointment, the kind with one foot and one hole. Later, when Mama Wang was pregnant with Xiao Fatty, she almost fell in the yard.His father felt distressed, so he went to the quarry to pull gravel, especially the broken kind to spread in the yard.

Entering from the gate, there is a path paved with wooden lattice, leading directly to the main room.The yard is actually quite beautiful at first glance. There are trees and stone tables. When the spring wind blows, the pink and white petals fall and flutter. It is cool to move a rocking chair under the tree in summer.

But such a yard is actually not easy to take care of. The stones are easy to be piled up in piles and need to be pushed and leveled.The weather is dry, and the yard is prone to dust, so it needs to be sprinkled in the morning and afternoon to keep it moist.When the peach trees in the yard lose their leaves, they should sweep up the leaves and pile them under the trees.

In the corner, Ms. Wang created a vegetable field and surrounded it with a wooden fence.Some green onions, ginger, garlic and a few nests of lettuce and cabbage were planted in the vegetable field, but they didn't grow very well.There is a flower trough about half a meter wide under the wall on one side of the yard, next to the vegetable field.It is spring now, and the flowers are blooming beautifully.Most of them are rose chrysanthemums and some aloe vera, just let it bloom in a mess.

The yard was very large, and rural land was not very valuable at that time, so when the land was zoned, a little extra money was allocated for an extra piece.

Wang Xiaonian took out the wooden pusher he used for drying wheat and began to push up gravel.

"Brother Xiaonian." Gu Ning suddenly appeared and interrupted Wang Xiaonian.

Wang Xiaonian looked at him in surprise, and said, "Why did you come here, there was no sound at all." He took a breath, was really scared to death, and appeared without making a sound.

Gu Ning walked to him, took the wooden pusher, and said, "You didn't hear me, I knocked on the door."

"Ah, I didn't hear it at all. Could it be that my hearing has degenerated." He said and licked his ears, "Oh, I feel much more relaxed when you come. Hmph, now I see what Wang Chuyue has to say." Clap.

Gu Ning looked at his silly actions, and said softly, "I will help you, but you have to teach me."

Wang Xiaonian wrinkled his face, "Hey, he's really a kid in the city, he doesn't know how to do this." He walked to Gu Ning and started teaching him to use a wooden pusher.

Actions and demonstrations, but Gu Ning has always been inaccurate.Seeing that Wang Xiaonian was in a hurry, in the end he simply held his hands and taught him what to do.

Wang Xiaonian embraced Gu Ning, and held Gu Ning's hand with both hands, just like a child teaching how to write, teaching each movement one by one.The two were very close, it looked like Wang Xiaonian was completely holding Gu Ning in his arms.

Gu Ning was clenched by Wang Xiaonian's hands, and his breath was full of his breath. For some reason, his heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to pop out in the next second.

"I'll do it now. If I don't, I can't do anything." Wang Xiaonian let go of Gu Ning and said while holding his forehead.

Gu Ning was a little dazed, but he replied immediately, "Well, I will."

Stretching, yawning, and patting his mouth, Wang Xiaonian said inarticulately, "Then help me smooth out the unevenness first, I want to take a rest first. Oh, I got up too early today. I slept too darkly yesterday, and I have no energy at all." Looking up, a teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye, and quickly sank into his hair.

However, Gu Ning could see it clearly. He only felt that Wang Xiaonian was so cute that it made people unable to help but grab it and rub it a few times.

However, he only wanted to think about it now, and he didn't dare to do it.If it does, I don't know how it will react.

Suddenly, he was a little looking forward to it.

Wang Xiaonian ran to the side of the stone table, sat down directly on the stone table, fell on the stone table, put his hands behind his head, stepped on the edge of the stone table with one leg, put one foot on his lap, and fell asleep like this.

Gu Ning carefully pushed the stones, making them smooth and clean, and went to see Wang Xiaonian from time to time while pushing.When he was asleep, he was not as active as usual, nor did he make any bluffing sounds, nor did he smile at him, nor did he see him in his eyes.

Walking to Wang Xiaonian, Gu Ning looked at him, condescending.It seemed to be the first time, the first time seeing him like this.

Wang Xiaonian looks very cute, the kind of cute child, the kind who will like it from the bottom of his heart when he sees him.Thick and beautiful eyebrows, round and energetic eyes, a high nose bridge, red and delicate lips, healthy wheat-colored skin, and slender and powerful limbs.

Very charming, how can such a Wang Xiaonian not be liked by others, not to mention that kind of lively and cheerful personality.

Just the opposite of him.

Suddenly, Gu Ning felt a sense of inferiority.He had never had such a feeling, it was fresh but uncomfortable, so it disappeared quickly.

"Okay, he dared to be lazy, Xiao Ning, did this brat instigate you? I dare to sleep here, I'm so impatient." Wang Chuyue came out to get the broom, and saw Gu Ning standing in front of her stupid brother , holding a wooden pusher in his hand, he frowned uncomfortably.

Gu Ning put down the wooden pusher, stood in front of Wang Chuyue, and said, "No, I am the one who wants to help Brother Xiaonian. Sister Chuyue, don't be angry."

Wang Chuyue held his forehead and sighed, "Hey, where did this idiot kidnap you? Protect him like this. Well, I won't be angry, let him get up quickly, and you two can clean the kitchen together." Akimbo leaned closer to look at Gu Ning, "Remember, it's the two of you, not you, do you hear me?"

"kindness."

When Wang Chuyue left, Gu Ning looked back at him, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Wake him up and repeat what you just said.Wang Xiaonian quickly jumped off the stone table and officially took Gu Ning to start his cleaning journey.

With Gu Ning, two people are always faster than one.Although Gu Ning is small, he cleans meticulously and cleanly, much better than Wang Xiaonian.Finally at noon, everything was cleaned inside and out.

In order to reward the hard-working children, Ms. Wang went to the street and bought half a catty of roast meat and three small bottles of soda. When she came back, she scrambled tomatoes and eggs, and made a shrimp soup with the fish soup left over from yesterday (without Shrimp), fried a shredded potato.

A group of children ate happily, and Gu Ning, who was rarely seen, also showed a generous smile, the kind that could be seen through the teeth.Wang Xiaonian was so happy that that smile warmed his stomach and heart, and he couldn't stop laughing during the dinner.

It turned out that his hard work was not in vain, and this child also had that kind of smile, clean and relaxed without any pain.

In the evening, the family sat outside to enjoy the cool air.

Wang Chuyue brought out a pot of tea and put it on the stone table. There was also a plate of pastries on the table, the red bean cake made by his mother herself.Wang Xiaonian huddled on the big wicker chair, eating the cakes slowly, as if he was wandering into space.

"Dad will be back on the [-]st of next month, and there is one week left, which happens to be the end of the exam at the end of the month." Wang Chuyue poured out a cup of tea, took a sip and said.

Mother Wang hugged Wang Chuyi and teased, "Well, do well in the exam, and your father will be happy too."

"I know. Mom, I want to leave the village next semester. The teacher told me that I can try to go to the city to study in the third grade next semester. It is easier to get a full scholarship for the first middle school with high scores." Wang Chuyue looked at the teacup , said softly.

"Go ahead, tell your dad that he will agree. You will be one year old in the first year of junior high school, and you will be able to leave in the second half of the year. I will let your grandma come over." Mama Wang said softly.

Wang Chuyue looked up, looked at her mother, and murmured, "Do you want to go out with Dad?"

"You need money to go to high school, and it's not enough for your dad to be outside alone. There are also Xiaonian and the first year of junior high school, they are still young." Mother Wang stroked Wang Chuyi and coaxed him to sleep.

"But, now that you're gone, can grandma take care of you alone? There's still Xiaonian, so he can stop making trouble." Wang Chuyue said worriedly, stroking the glass with her fingers, "Or, if I don't go to high school, just go Go to work, even if I don't have a degree, I believe I can..."

"Nonsense, if you want to read it, you have to finish it. Don't say I don't agree, your father won't agree. You are smart and capable, and you may depend on you in the future." Wang Mama lowered her head, looked at Wang Chuyi, laughed and joked.
