It's hard to be a stepmother

The whole day today, the Huo family was busy with ancestor worship and other activities. As the son of the Huo family, Huo Hanchuan took the lead and hardly stopped.

On the contrary, I'm relatively free. First, I don't understand these things about ancestor worship. I couldn't play when I was in the Xiao family, not to mention that I was still an outsider in the Huo family.

Second, the Huo family doesn't need my help either.

Huo Yunlan is also relatively free, her task is to coax the children to play, and this time I added her, she gave a lot of suggestions for playing, going to the park, going to the big adventure, going to the cinema... But it is troublesome for me to go out now , After adding three children, it was even more impossible to achieve, and finally we decided to go mountain climbing.

The Huo family's old house was also built in a geomantic land surrounded by mountains and rivers. The mountain behind their house is not very high, but it is rolling and rolling, with evergreen trees. It looks like a wandering dragon from a distance.

The mountain is very well built, with special stone steps, and there will be pavilions for rest every other way.This is different from the mountain behind Huo Hanchuan's house. This mountain obviously has traces of artificial development. On the way, Huo Yunlan introduced to me: "There is a temple on it. It is said that the emperor of a certain dynasty once visited. It's just that Now that the mountain is no longer a tourist area, fewer people come here.”

I understand what she means. This place is a famous villa area, and naturally I don't want anyone to treat it as a scenic spot.

"But Brother Chen, the scenery here is still very good, you'll know when you go up and have a look!" Huo Yunlan seemed like a lively person, she was afraid that I would not be interested if I heard that no one was going, so she hurriedly added this sentence, I laughed Let me tell you, I want to attract the attention of everyone, but in fact, my personality is only suitable for living alone, so there are not many people that I am happy with.

Since the road is well repaired, the three children can also come to play. With the two of us as adults, there is no need to bring a nanny.Huo Yunlan is very independent. Before leaving, she packs food and drinks for the three children very neatly. One bag is all it takes. It looks like she often goes out to play.The motor cells are also very good, very similar to her big brother.

I carried the bag on her back, so she greeted the three children and stopped and stopped along the way without feeling annoyed at all.

There is a saying that when there is sunshine in the heart, it is naturally bright, and what shines on others is also brilliant.I think it is very suitable for this girl.Climbing with her was different from climbing with Huo Hanchuan last time. She spoke cheerfully, so I talked more.

Coupled with the chirping of a few children, the mountain felt alive all of a sudden.

About halfway through the walk, a child couldn't walk anymore.

Although Huo Baize is usually mischievous and seems to be smarter than anyone else, his stamina is not as good as the other two older children. He also ran more than others at the beginning, and he would come back after running for a while, so he couldn't climb right now. Moved.

I told him: "Then let's take a break and go down the mountain?"

He is still not happy: "No, I want to climb to the top of the mountain!" He is a small man with a lot of ambition.

I glanced at his two short legs: "Climb up with both hands and feet?"

He couldn't understand what I meant for a while, and tilted his head to think for a while, while Huo Yunlan laughed: "Xiao Ze, that's how you climb."

She demonstrated it to him, so Huo Baize made a fuss. He pointed at me and said, "No! Scoundrel! Don't call me that! You are a big villain!"

These are the only words he scolded me, like being coquettish.

I also sat down on the steps, took out water from my bag and handed it to Huo Yunlan, and Huo Yunlan handed it to Huo Baize: "Okay, Ozawa, rest for a while, we will continue to climb up!"

Sure enough, Huo Baize said loudly, "Okay!"

I looked at the winding road down the mountain and didn't say anything. Children's energy is boundless, and the older you get, the lazier you will be.

Sure enough, after Huo Baize finished drinking the water, he regrouped and took the lead to climb up again.

After climbing to the top of the mountain, Huo Baize planted the flag he held all the way.

Although he was tired and out of breath, his face was full of spirits. Standing under the banner, his face was ruddy and lovely.Huo Yunlan took several photos of him and the three children together.Finally she asked me if she could take a picture with me.

I held her mobile phone, stretched my arms, and the group photos of five people came in. The three children were in front, and Huo Baize squeezed in front of me, standing in the middle C. I found that this child really likes to be in front of the camera. Feel.

It only took an hour and a half to climb the mountain.So when it was time to go back, Huo Yunlan put his hands on his hips and taught the three children to shout down the mountain: "Ah! I'm up!"

Huo Baize followed her example: "Ah! I climbed up too!"

I glanced at him, and he waved his fist down the mountain. Those who didn't know thought he had climbed Mount Everest.

The four of them yelled for a while, before Huo Yunlan turned around, saw that I was standing there without speaking, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Chen, why don't you shout a few times?"

I smiled at her, I am an adult, I can't shout out, I can when there is no one, and someone will lose face.

Huo Yunlan was also a little embarrassed, she coughed and greeted the three children: "It's windy here, let's go to the temple below to rest for a while, and I'll play house with you, okay?"

We entered the temple below, as Huo Yunlan said, it was already empty, there was no more incense, it was only a resting place, and also a temporary residence for the forest guards.

Seeing us coming, he brought out a few horseshoes. The sun was shining today, so we sat in the yard.

Three children are enough to live a family life.There must be a house in the play house, Huo Baize is digging the snow in the shade of his back with his little butt pouted. The backpack I carried for him has a folding bucket and a shovel. This kid has a special liking for snow. Buckets of snow go to The place they planned is mentioned, and they are full of energy when they play.

It's just that he couldn't build the house well, and it collapsed again and again, his little face was reddened, and he didn't even wear gloves.Huo Yunlan didn't let him take it off: "You can't take off your gloves, it's easy to freeze your hands."

Huo Baize said anxiously: "But Auntie, I can't stack well."

Huo Yunlan originally wanted the children to rest at the back for a while before going down the mountain, but they really thought they were going to play house, so they didn't know whether to continue or not.She glanced at me unconsciously.I said to her, "I'll pile it up for him."

I don't want to go down the mountain so early. Although there is nothing in this ruined temple, I still think it's a little cleaner after thinking about the Huo family's affairs.

I piled big cats for Huo Baize, so he trusted my skills, put on his gloves, and squatted next to me to oversee the work.

Building a snow house is more difficult than making a snowman. First, you need to prop up the frame of the house. I split a few bamboos in the yard. The forest ranger doesn’t have enough tools, but it is still manageable for a child’s house.

The thick bamboo is cut into pieces, the thin bamboo is split, the bamboo joints are opened, grooves are made, and the bamboos are matched one by one. First, the large frame at the four corners is supported.

Huo Yunlan didn't know what I was doing, but she didn't urge her all the time. After the frame was finished, she murmured: "Brother Chen, how can you be so good? This is the highest level of DIY, I knew it earlier. It should be broadcast live. Brother Chen, is it too late for me to broadcast live now?! Can we just show up with one hand?"

Huo Baize said from the side: "Shoot me, shoot me, I want to appear on camera!"

Huo Yunlan laughed: "Okay, I'll shoot you!"

Huo Yunlan found the angle for Huo Baize, and he even put his hat on straight.

Huo Yunlan asked me while recording him: "Brother Chen, how did you do this?"

I shook my head at her while polishing the bamboo pieces. Anyone who has enough time will find something to kill time, or they will suffocate themselves, especially as an actor, there will always be times when there is no filming.

Huo Yunlan knew that I couldn't make a sound, so he made an OK gesture to me, and concentrated on recording it for Huo Baize. Huo Baize understood it now, because it looked like a house, so he started to hand me bamboo sticks: "I want a beautiful!"

This kid not only loves to be pretty, but also has good eyesight, everything must be beautiful.

I put the cut bamboo slices up one by one along the grooves, and within half an hour the walls, base and roof frame of the bamboo house were ready.

Huo Baize held it in his hands, and Huo Yunlan recorded it for him: "Ozawa is ready, this is the first step in our house!"

The rest is the roof, I asked Huo Baize softly: "Do you want a roof made of bamboo sheets or bamboo leaves?"

Before Huo Baize could figure it out, his young lady said, "Uncle Xiao, how about we use bamboo leaves, so that it can be covered with snow, it looks nice."

The little girl has a meticulous mind, which is more beautiful than the bamboo roof, because it is also more troublesome than the bamboo roof.But it will look good after it is made, with an idyllic style.So Huo Baize thought for a while and nodded decisively: "Okay!"

This house is [-] centimeters long and [-] centimeters wide. There are a lot of bamboo leaves that can be used. Bamboo is a bit more brittle in this season. The bottom layer needs to be made stronger. After the bottom layer is ready, bamboo leaves can be laid. One layer is required. The effect of the bamboo house came out only after a full centimeter of paving.

Huo Baize is very demanding. He is happy to see this house, but he needs something to match him. He told me: "The house is lonely."

I glanced at him. Does such a small child know what it means to be alone?

But I didn't say anything. It was not finished. I built two side houses diagonally next to his main house. This is simple, but the combination looks good.

This will be a home when the yard is also fenced in.

The rest is for the three children.

The buckets of snow that Huo Baize had dug up were finally useful. He took the snow and carefully sprinkled it on the roof, while the other two children paved the yard.After we were done, the five of us stretched out our scissors hands in front of the camera.

Huo Yunlan watched the live broadcast and said happily: "Brother Chen, my original fan number was only 500, after the one just now, it is now 5000, and it is still rising, you are too good!"

Huo Baize said loudly: "Auntie, I'm the one who is the best!"

Huo Yunlan reached out and pinched his face: "That's right! Xiaoze, Xiaohao and Xiaobing are the most powerful! Thank you to the three children who appeared on the scene! They said that I have a different way to live broadcast this time, and we will cover it here during the New Year's Eve." House. Haha, I also said that the foreign aid I hired this time is awesome! The kid is so beautiful! Brother Chen, they said your hands look good! I just want to do dubbing, and I never go abroad, so I have to be famous. This time they said I Don’t do dubbing, just focus on buying houses.”

I also took a look at Huo Yunlan's live broadcast. With her ability, she should not only have 500 fans. Now the live broadcast platform can publicize well as long as she pays for it.Huo Yunlan coughed and said, "I want to test my own strength."

Well, children from rich families rely on their own strength, unlike me, they need to rely on a backer.

Huo Yunlan put away the phone and greeted the children to go home: "Brother Chen, let's go back, it's almost 12 o'clock, we have a family dinner at noon."

"I haven't played enough yet!" Huo Baize said loudly.He didn't play enough, just now he dug several buckets of snow to lay a little thicker snow, the sweat on his forehead didn't go away, I wiped his head with a handkerchief, but he still turned his head in disgust.

I have to go back if I haven't played enough this time. My cell phone rang. It was Huo Baize's father's call. I handed the phone to Huo Baize: "Your father."

Huo Baize shouted loudly: "Dad! We are on the mountain! Do you want to come pick me up? No! No! That's fine."

From what he said when he answered the phone, it could be heard that his request was rejected again, and the last sentence was quite aggrieved.

Huo Baize gave me the phone, but before Huo Hanchuan hung up, he called my name, so I picked it up again: "I'll take him down the mountain right now." Huo Hanchuan hummed on the other end of the phone: "Go down the mountain slowly." Come on, don't worry, be careful, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, we headed down the mountain.

Huo Hanchuan was justified in worrying. It was easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down the mountain. Besides, he was still a child. Huo Baize's two older brothers and sisters were better. An 8-year-old child had no problem going up and down the mountain, but Huo Baize was a little tired. The two short legs didn't let me hold hands at the beginning, but in the end they let me lead.

After that, he found someone to carry it on his back.He couldn't walk anymore, he chose between Huo Yunlan and me: "Let him carry me on his back, aunt, don't be too tired."

He was quite against his aunt.

Huo Yunlan looked at me and coughed: "Xiao Ze, aren't you afraid that your Uncle Xiao will be tired?"

Huo Baize put his arms around my neck and said loudly: "He's a man, he's not tired!"

I couldn't help but yell at him: "Aren't you a little man too?"

He rubbed on my back and said: "I'm still young, when I grow up, I'll...be done!"

Huo Yunlan teased him: "When you grow up, will you carry your Uncle Xiao?"

This time Huo Baize didn't say a word, his arms around my neck were slightly loosened, his little butt fell back, he didn't want to answer this question.I lifted his butt up and continued to walk down.

After walking up a few steps, I heard him say reluctantly: "I'll take a look at that time."

I looked at the steps down the mountain and slightly moved the corner of my mouth. When he grows up, the person he will be filial to is his father, and I am not someone like him, so there is nothing to be filial to.Besides, I don't know if I can wait until that day, maybe it won't be long before the Xiao and Huo families no longer need checks and balances.

Huo Yunlan laughed when he heard his words: "Little man."

Huo Baize was probably ashamed by her, so he put his face on my back and rubbed against it a few times. His strength is not weak. This child is often like a calf, he doesn't know how to restrain his voice, and he doesn't know how to restrain his strength.He is rampant and will stop for a while when he is tired. This kind of character does not know who to follow. His father is not like this. His father, who does everything with precautions, is more than capable, deeper than the city, and his emotions are invisible.

I touched the child's soft butt and let out a silent breath. People are different, or this child has not grown up yet, and he will become that kind of person when he grows up.

Huo Baize was still rubbing against my back, I patted his butt: "Be honest."

He put his arms around my neck again and snorted: "Then hurry up!"

With this triumphant voice, I supported his buttocks firmly, and I didn't care about him anymore.
