Chapter 694 Extra Story: Siblings (4)
It was the first time for the three siblings to be away from their parents for such a long time, and they were very excited on the first day. At night, they began to miss their parents, crying and begging for their parents.
Pingping and Lele howled with their eyes closed, and the tears fell down as if they didn't want money. An An was going to howl too, but seeing her brothers crying so badly, she reached out to hug them and comforted them, saying, "It's okay." , my sister will take care of you."
The two hugged their sister aggrievedly, crying "Wow", He Zipei was funny and angry, "Are you okay with my aunt, I take you with me on weekdays, why don't you cry when you play with me, now you have to sleep Did you remember crying?"
Niu Niu made faces at the side and made fun of them, "It's shameless to cry at such an age."
Qin Xinfang patted her daughter lightly, stared and said: "Is there such a sister-in-law as you? An An is more sensible than you, go and coax them."
Niuniu stuck out her tongue, carried Pingping over and hugged her, shook her and said, "Don't cry, how about I take you out to see fireflies?"
A group of people are now living in a post station in the wild. There are no other houses around except the house of the post station. The grass is green outside, and occasionally a few fireflies fly by. Niuniu likes it very much.
She hugged Pingping and walked out. Lele slowly stopped crying and followed her sister to chase her out.
He Zipei asked them to put on a small cloak, "The dew is heavy, don't catch a cold."
Niuniu put Pingping on the side of the road, rushed into the grass and ran back and forth, startling a little firefly, flying around in the grass, in the dark night, this light is especially mysterious and beautiful.
The three siblings forgot to cry for a moment, Qiqi opened his mouth wide and watched.
Niu Niu proudly raised her head, "How about it, doesn't it look good?"
The three siblings said "Wow", and rushed into the grass to grab them, but don't look at the slow flying of the fireflies, it's really not easy for you to catch them. An An caught two and put them in her purse, peacefully and happily Le didn't catch any of them, and instead fell several times on the grass. The two of them didn't ask the servants to help them, and got up by themselves and continued to run after the fireflies.
When they were tired from playing, the two of them squeezed in front of their sister to watch the caught fireflies together. The lights of the fireflies went out, revealing their ugly bodies, and the three siblings all looked disgusted.
Niu Niu had caught a lot earlier, packed them with gauze, tied them up, hung them on a wooden stick, and stuck them on the fence of the post station. After waiting for a long time, they lit up the lights one after another, and the light they gathered together was very beautiful.
The three siblings exclaimed "Wow", and looked around it cautiously, full of novelty.
"This is the story of Cheyin Nangyingying," Niuniu carefully picked up the wooden stick, and used the light of the firefly to illuminate the way for the three of them, and they went back to the inn room together. She asked people to turn off all the lights in the house, spread out a book and illuminated it with a fluorescent lamp.
An An squinted her eyes and looked up, and couldn't help but muttered: "The light is too dark, and it hurts my eyes. Mom won't allow us to read in such a dim light at night."
"I know, but Che Yin doesn't have money to buy lamp oil. The light from fireflies is enough."
Pingping and Lele asked confusedly, "Who is Che Yin? Can he catch many fireflies?"
"Of course, he catches enough fireflies to read a book."
Pingping and Lele exclaimed, "It's amazing, where is he, let's exchange lamp oil with him for fireflies, we like fireflies better."
An An knocked the little heads of the silly brothers, and said: "Che Yin is an ancient man, he died a long time ago, where are you going to change with him?"
After finishing speaking, tell them the story of Nangying Yingxue. This is a short story that my aunt told her, and she still remembers it.
An An couldn't tell how interesting He Zipei was when he told the story, but he just said dryly based on his own understanding: "Once upon a time there was a man named Che Yin, who was very poor, couldn't afford lamp oil and wanted to read, so he So I went to catch fireflies and put them in my purse to make a lamp, and read books with the light of fireflies, and later he became a very powerful person.”
That's why she put the fireflies in her purse in the first place, but unfortunately those two couldn't turn on the lights, so she had to put them away.
"There is also a very poor man named Sun Kang. He couldn't afford lamp oil, so he lay down on the snow and read a book. This is called Nangyingyingxue."
Pingping and Lele shuddered, and Pingping said, "Would it be cold to lie on the snow?"
Lele: "I will definitely be sick."
"They are really stupid. Why don't they light a fire? You can also read books by lighting a fire." Pingping wrinkled his nose and said, "And what if it doesn't snow?"
"That's right, you see that the uncles are lighting the fire, and the surroundings are illuminated. In winter, you can warm up while reading a book, isn't it better than lying on the snow?" Lele took a deep breath, looked at the fire downstairs and said: " It smells so good, I want to eat meat too."
Niuniu hurriedly grabbed the back collar of one of them with one hand, and said: "No, you have a bad stomach, so you can't eat."
Pingping and Lele immediately had tears in their eyes, looking at her with tears in their eyes.
Niuniu's heart softened for a moment, but finally she shook her head firmly, "There are many epidemics in spring, it's not too hot or cold, and you are children, I dare say that if you eat barbecue tonight, your throat will definitely be dry tomorrow. You are on the road, what if you get sick?"
Before the departure, the parents were worried about Pingping and Lele's health, and told them to take good care of them, and they were not allowed to be too hot or cold, and they had to be more careful about the things they took in. After all, they are still young, and traveling is dangerous.
Otherwise, the parents would have taken Lele back to worship the ancestors after the week last year, so why wait until this year?
Pingping and Lele were suppressed, and the two brothers leaned together feeling sorry for each other, wanting to cry again.
Because they played too crazy during the day, no matter how wronged they were, they also fell asleep after washing up. They were hugged into the warmed bed in a drowsy state. As soon as the two of them leaned on the pillows, they immediately turned over and fell asleep, feeling very comfortable.
After the first night, it was easier to take care of the rest. Except for the occasional fight for parents, most of the time the brothers couldn't remember their parents, and they had a lot of fun.
An An even forgot about her parents and ran after her sister-in-law every day, gaining the privilege of riding a horse for an hour a day.
Of course, she wasn't riding the horse alone, but Qin Xinfang or the guards in the house were hugging her, but this also made Pingping and Lele envious, and they could get on the horse and play for a while when they stopped for a rest at noon, and someone had to hug her tightly Come on, don't move too much.
After Runing worshiped the ancestors, the family members began to call them by their names from time to time so that they could remember their own names.
Before they went to college, the family name called them had another function besides letting them remember their own names—it meant that the person who called them by their name was angry.
For example, now, Li Baolu shouted angrily, "Gu Yunqi, Qin Yunji, come here!"
The two children who were squatting in the yard and playing with bugs happily heard their mother's screams, and without thinking about it, they dropped the sticks in their hands and ran towards the main yard.
There are their backers there!
Li Baolu had already chased them out, she was so angry that her face was flushed, she seemed to have forgotten the fact that she could do light work, she used her legs to catch up with the two children, barely grabbed them in front of the small garden gate, she was so angry that she pointed at them and said I can't speak.
Pingping and Lele had never seen their mother so angry before, and they stood side by side with their necks shrunk, not daring to run away.
Li Baolu was so angry that she lost her mind, looked left and right, and finally saw a plum tree by the small door, without thinking, she stepped forward and broke a plum branch, and then slapped his ass hard after pulling it.
Pingping was startled, and immediately howled dryly, "Mother, I know I was wrong, I don't dare to do it anymore..."
"Where did you go wrong, tell me!"
Pingping trembled his lips and couldn't say it, he didn't know what was wrong, anyway, it's always right to admit it first.
When Li Baolu saw him like this, she became even angrier, and she didn't want the branch, so she threw it aside and slapped his buttocks with the palm of her hand.
Pingping was so painful that he started to cry, he might as well use a stick to pump it, at least his mother saved his strength, unlike using his palm, Pingping felt his butt hurt and numb.
After beating Pingping, Li Baolu turned around and pulled Lele, and asked sharply, "Tell me, what bad things have you guys done these days?"
Lele was also frightened, and stood aside all the time, not daring to run. His intuition told him that if he didn't run, he would take this shot, but if he ran away, he might be beaten.
But the point is that Lele doesn't know what bad things he did recently and his mother found out. Could it be because his mother found out about stuffing caterpillars into my sister-in-law's quilt?
Or was it discovered that she accidentally tore up her sister's book?
Could it be because he was scribbling in his grandparents' house?
Seeing his pensive look, Li Baolu was so angry that she grabbed his arm and slapped his ass hard.
Lele burst into tears with a "wow". Although the buttocks are fleshy, it still hurts.
Li Baolu couldn't help but her eyes were red, but her hands were not soft at all, and she cried while patting, "Who gave you the courage, ah, you are only five years old, how dare you persuade someone to run away from home, do you know I know you almost killed Wei Xiang..."
Pingping and Lele were stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Mother, Wei Xiang is at his uncle's place, what does it have to do with us?"
"Also, if you didn't steal Wei Xiang out of Wei Mansion, how could he get out?"
"That's why we are saving him..."
Li Baolu looked at them sternly, "Does that mean you think you did everything right?"
The two children couldn't help shrinking their heads and not speaking.
"It seems that you also know that you shouldn't," Li Baolu raised her hand again, and Grandma Wei caught up with her panting and stopped her, "Sister and sister, if you break the child, it's my fault, this matter is just It’s better to ask the two children for their one-sided opinion. Besides, they are still young, what do they know at the age of five?”
"They dared to steal people out when they were only five years old, how much more can they pay off when they are older?"
"What's the matter, I heard Pingping and Lele crying from a long distance," He Zipei walked out of the garden quickly, hugged Pingping and Lele into his arms, and wiped their tears with distress : "Is there anything I can't say well, you see, when you and Qinghe were young, did your uncle and I touch you?"
Li Baolu stomped her feet, "Auntie, do you know what these two brats did this time?"
