Chapter 113 Intimate
Su Qingyue and Xiang Jianming discussed it and asked the educated youths from the Educated Youth Institute to be teachers for the workers in the processing factory.
After voting and election, Dai Xiaohong and Zhou Xiang served as literacy teachers at the processing plant. They held classes twice a week, mainly teaching workers basic Chinese characters and arithmetic.
As long as workers in the processing factory can take free classes, everyone is very enthusiastic about the class, and some people even bring their children who are not studying at home to attend the class.
Gradually, there were more and more people. On weekends, several children from the village who were studying in the county came back and came to attend the class together.
"Teacher, I know this question!"
Su Zhuangzhuang raised his hand and read the words on the small blackboard. He received warm applause when he sat down.
Not to be outdone, Xiang Xiaole said, "Teacher Dai, I can also do arithmetic within ten!"
Several little children competed to answer the questions, pushing the learning atmosphere of the literacy class to a climax.
Even Widow Liu's three dolls raised their hands to answer the question, each of them was generous and not at all as timid as before.
"It's better to study. Look at how much these little dolls have changed in half a year. Now they shout when they see people. They have such sweet mouths."
"Yeah, and he's very smart and can read more than me. Oh, it makes me embarrassed."
After class, people walked home in twos and threes.
The first snow of winter suddenly fell in the sky, and the white snowflakes gradually fell heavier, flying in the air like goose feathers.
The children's screams and play suddenly filled the sky.
Su Qingyue smiled and dragged Su Zhuangzhuang and Su Qingxi home, "Go home for dinner first, and after dinner we will have a snowball fight in the yard!"
"Okay! Auntie, I want to team up with you and I want to protect you!"
Su Zhuangzhuang skipped back with a milky voice.
"Su Zhuangzhuang, after I finish eating, I also want to have a snowball fight with you." He extended an invitation to Xiao Le.
"Brother Xiaole, come on, come and play with brother Xiaoqiang."
Su Qingyue smiled and talked to Kong Shan and his sister-in-law, "After dinner, let the children come to play in my yard. I will light a few more fires."
"Okay, then we'll go after a while."
"What do you want to eat later?" Pei Huaiye patted the snowflakes from Su Qingyue's hair with a faint smile on his face.
"Want some hot soup?"
"How about radish and pork ribs soup and steaming a pot of steamed buns?"
Su Qingyueguang felt happy just thinking about it. She nodded firmly, "Well, I also want to eat something spicy."
She has a good appetite recently and wants to eat anything sour or spicy.
Sometimes, like a child, I want to cry even if I can’t get anything to eat.
“Everything is prepared for you, both sour and spicy.”
Pei Huaiye's voice was endearing, "Qingxi, go and ask your father and sister-in-law to come over for dinner, and stop the fire."
"Okay, brother-in-law, I want to eat sweet potato balls."
“There are a lot of sweet potatoes at home, let’s fry them later!”
Su Qingxi got the answer and went to call someone happily.
"How come it's like the Chinese New Year, with croquettes and steamed buns." Su Mingqiang narrowed his eyes with laughter.
Pei Huaiye lit two pots of fire, and the whole kitchen was so warm that it wasn't cold at all.
"Dad, there is a brazier in the main room. I'll pour hot tea. You and your elder brother can sit down and rest for a while."
"Qingyue, you go and have a rest too, don't move."
Pei Huaiye rushed everyone to the main room and sat down. He served melon seeds, peanuts and a plate of dried apricots, "It's very sour, you can try it."
Su Qingyue took one, and her eyes wrinkled with soreness. "It's delicious." She threw one piece after another into her mouth. "Eat too much and your teeth may get sore."
Li Zilan complained, Su Zhuangzhuang also ate a dried apricot, his whole face wrinkled, saliva flowed down the corner of his mouth, "Wow! It's so sour!"
Su Mingqiang laughed so much that tears flowed out, "I'm calling you greedy."
Su Qingwu dug a basket of sweet potatoes, washed off the soil, and brought it to the kitchen, "Huaiye, I'll light the fire for you."
"Okay."
Su Qingwu originally thought that his brother-in-law would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed directly. He scratched his head and had to sit in front of the stove to light the fire.
In the main room, several people were chatting over the fire.
After a while, Pei Huaiye served a large bowl of steaming buns. Su Zhuangzhuang exclaimed in surprise!
The white and fat buns are squeezed together. When you break open the soft skin, there is fragrant cabbage and tofu inside.
Each person has a bowl of pork ribs and radish soup. The ribs are soft and tender, and the radish is sweet. After taking a sip of the soup and eating a bun, a warm feeling sweeps through the body. There are two pots of fire in the main room.
Su Mingqiang has never experienced such a winter, and he is as happy as in a dream.
Su Qingyue loves spicy food, so Pei Huaiye also made a special kind of spicy cabbage buns, which are filled with sour and spicy cabbage fillings, which are very delicious.
"Eat slowly, there are still more." Su Qingyue had already eaten three buns, and Pei Huaiye handed over another one.
Li Zilan's eyes narrowed. Qingyue was already three months pregnant, and her belly seemed to be getting bigger. She didn't show her pregnancy in the previous month or two, but now her belly is quite big.
After the meal, Su Qingyue began to doze off.
There were already two thermos bottles placed under the quilt. Su Qingyue got in and hummed comfortably.
Why is Pei Huaiye so considerate?
As soon as such thoughts flashed through her mind, she fell into a drowsy sleep.
Pei Huaiye closed the door quietly, and his sisters-in-law Kong and Shan brought their children to have a snowball fight. He also brought tea, water, and dried fruits to the main room.
Kong Shan and his wife's eyes almost dropped to their chins.
When asked about Li Zilan, Su Qingyue was sleeping in the room. Pei Huaiye had cooked lunch and was now helping to greet people.
How did you get such good luck?
"What the heck, Qingyue is pregnant, and Pei Huaiye hurts her to the core. Before she was pregnant, her brother-in-law cooked, but now her clothes are not washed, and she is not allowed to do anything. She wants to eat and sleep."< br>
Kong Shan and Zheng Hui were dumbfounded.
In the yard, Su Zhuangzhuang and several other children were playing snowball fights in groups, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai also participated. The two pups were well fed and have grown up a lot now. They look like a big ball of fur and are easy to touch.
The puppy didn't understand the rules. When he saw the round snowball, he ran and chased it.
When they catch up, they hold the snowball in front of Su Zhuangzhuang and Su Qingxi to claim credit.
"They can also pick up snowballs, which is amazing!"
"Zhuangzhuang, don't freeze the puppies. Don't let them pick up snowballs." Li Zilan knew that Su Qingyue liked these two puppies very much.
"I know, mom."
"Brother Xiaole, let's build a snowman." Su Zhuangzhuang's hands were red from playing, and he dug out the snow with an excited face.
Xiang Xiaole breathed into his strong little hands, "Let's go and warm up for a while before building a snowman."
Several children returned to the main room to warm themselves by the fire.
Pei Huaiye brought out a basin of hot water and said, "Come here and soak your hands for ten minutes before taking it away."
His tone was very serious, and all the little children were obedient.
Kong Shan blinked at Li Zilan, her eyes seeming to say, "This man is so considerate, and he is also good at raising children."
