Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 145 Little Milk Ball is having a birthday
Hearing the sound, Chen Xiuxiu came out of the kitchen, and Liu Xueting came out with her.

At this time, Liu Xueting was holding a rolling pin in her hand, with some flour on her face and a hairband.

"sister!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Weidong first greeted Chen Xiuxiu, then walked slowly to Liu Xueting and wiped the flour off her face.

Liu Xueting suddenly felt the temperature on her face, and looked at Chen Weidong in panic, reminding him in a mosquito-like voice:

"Weidong, what are you doing? My sister and brother-in-law are watching us!"

Such an intimate action in front of Chen Xiuxiu was obviously unacceptable to the shy Liu Xueting.

"Uh~ Look, your face has become like a little cat. I'm just helping you wipe off the flour."

Chen Weidong looked at the rolling pin in Liu Xueting's hand and immediately explained.

At this moment, Liu Xueting swallowed her words, blushed, and lowered her head. Her weakness and shyness were very touching.

"Xue Ting, why are you rolling noodles so early?"

"My second sister brought a piece of meat, and I plan to make dumplings. It's already ten o'clock, and making dumplings takes time."

Liu Xueting replied.

Chen Weidong nodded. Dumplings are usually eaten during festivals. Making dumplings is much more troublesome than cooking. And there are many people in the family, so he must make more.

"Why don't you see the little ones?"

"Xiaojuan and Jianming are taking them out to play! They haven't come back yet."

Liu Xueting replied.

"Ah."

Chen Weidong nodded, and then the four of them chatted for a few words, and Liu Xueting and Chen Xiuxiu went to the kitchen to busy themselves.

Chen Weidong wanted to help, but he reeked of alcohol and was also kicked out.

Chen Weidong and Sun Tianjun sat in the main room, warming themselves by the fire and listening to the radio. Liu Xueting and Chen Xiuxiu prepared the dumpling fillings and wrappers, and went to the kang to make dumplings.

Considering the large number of people, Chen Weidong went to borrow a table from his father's house.

It was almost time for dinner when Sun Jianming and Sun Juan came back with six little girls.

"uncle!"

"Xiaojuan, Jianming is here, come in and warm yourself by the fire."

"it is good!"

"father!"

"Daddy hugs!"

As soon as the little girl Wu Ni saw Chen Weidong open his chubby little arms, she ran straight into Chen Weidong's arms.

Chen Weidong picked up the little girl with one hand, held her whole and patted her butt.

"Daddy, don't spank my butt. It hurts."

Wu Ni used her little hands to protect her butt.

"You don't even feel cold, you still feel pain!" Chen Weidong said with a smile.

At this time, Xiaoliu also ran over with her arms open, shaking, and Chen Weidong took the opportunity to hold her in his arms.

Soon, a hearty pot of dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage was brought to the table.

However, Chen Weidong didn't have much appetite to eat. Li Shengli's family only had two meals a day. He had breakfast late to begin with. When he went to Li Shengli's house, he happened to meet Li Shengli having dinner. He couldn't resist the invitation and ate some. Now he was not really hungry.

But everyone loves dumplings these days. Although Chen Weidong was not hungry, he had played with the kids and Xiaojuan for the whole morning, so his stomach had already shrunk.
As soon as the dumplings arrive,

Si Ni, the little foodie, couldn't help but drool.

The two children, Sun Juan and Sun Jianming, who normally cannot eat dumplings, were now staring at the dumplings in the pot with their eyes shining.

Each person received a bowl.

"What are you all standing there for? Come eat! Xiaojuan, Jianming, you two need to eat more, okay?"

"understood!"

The two children licked their lips and responded quickly.

Chen Weidong started to serve, and soon a large table of people were eating dumplings with gusto.

Chen Xiuxiu took a sip of the dumpling soup and suddenly remembered something. She looked up at Liu Xueting and said, "Hey? Xueting, what day is it today?"

Liu Xueting was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "Sister, today is already the twelfth!"

Chen Xiuxiu smiled when she heard this.

"I remember, Wu Ni's birthday is just a few days away!"

Liu Xueting nodded.

"Well, Wu Ni's birthday is on the 16th, which is still four days away."

Chen Weidong was eating dumplings. When he heard what they were saying, he immediately looked up. He had been so busy these days that he almost forgot about his child's birthday.

Chen Weidong was filled with guilt. In his previous life, he had never celebrated birthdays with his children. In fact, it was not Chen Weidong's fault. In the past, when the six little ones celebrated their birthdays,
Except for Wu Ni who celebrated her birthday in winter, he was busy outside when celebrating the other little ones' birthdays. Moreover, there was not enough food to eat at home and the conditions were not there. Moreover, celebrating birthdays in rural areas in that era was basically a luxury.

The children were able to celebrate their birthdays thanks to their second sister and eldest sisters-in-law who would send them two eggs, or rice and flour to nourish their bodies, or have a full meal. In the past, being able to eat eggs was considered the best birthday for the little ones.

Of course, they don’t come every time a little one has a birthday. After all, both families are not well-off, so not every little one can have a birthday every year.

For example, this year only Erni celebrated her birthday, while the other four had their birthdays as usual.

"Mom, it's my birthday?" Wu Ni raised her head and looked at Liu Xueting with her big eyes blinking.

"OK!"

Liu Xueting nodded.

Hearing this, the little guy put down his chopsticks and counted his fingers.

"Why, do you know when your birthday is?"

Chen Weidong asked curiously.

"do not know!"

"Uh... then what are you counting?"

"Wuni is almost three years old. She has grown up again. I'm happy!" The little kid looked at Chen Weidong with a smile and said in a baby voice.

"Uh……"

"Fifth sister is having a birthday, so happy!"

Si Ni said happily. "It's your sister's birthday, why are you so happy?"

“I can eat delicious food!”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

"You just know how to eat~"

Chen Weidong touched the little guy's head lovingly.

"Whee!"

Fourth girl's grandmother smiled. After Fifth girl finished counting, she happily continued to eat the delicious dumplings from her own bowl. The other little girls were also very happy.

After dinner.

Liu Xueting and Chen Xiuxiu finished cleaning the table.

"Xue Ting, let me help you wash."

Chen Xiuxiu spoke.

"No need, Dani, Erni, just help me." Liu Xueting quickly refused.

"Let me do it, there's no way I can let the child do it!"

"Auntie, I can wash the dishes,"

Dani said.

"Yeah, auntie, my eldest sister can also cook!"

Sanni added.

"Aunt, Si Ni can do it too."

"Yeah~ yeah~ Wu Ni can also help mom with the work."

"Okay, you're all awesome!"

Chen Xiuxiu laughed. The two little guys couldn't even reach the bowl in the pot even if they were standing on the chairs, so they also joined in the fun.

Then it was Chen Xiuxiu who helped, but the younger ones also followed suit, running around with their short legs to help with the work. Even Liu Ni followed behind her sister, staggering.

Chen Weidong and Sun Tianjun, two grown men, were unable to help and were sitting in the main room, chatting by the fire.

At this time, the second sister Chen Xiuxiu suddenly came to Chen Weidong and said, "Weidong, your family situation is better now, not like before. Mom talked to me today and wanted me to tell you that you and Xueting are working hard to have a big fat boy."

Chen Xiuxiu's sudden blunt words made Chen Weidong's saliva stuck in his throat, and he suddenly started coughing violently.

"Cough! Cough!"

He quickly glanced at Chen Xiuxiu. Why did she suddenly bring up this matter for her mother?

"Sister, tell my mom to stop thinking about the fat boy. Doesn't he have a grandson? Why is he always thinking about him?"

Chen Weidong said unhappily.

Whether the baby is a boy or a girl is not decided by him and Liu Xueting, and he would love it just as much even if it is a girl.

In his previous life, he was relatively backward in his thinking and wanted a boy to carry on the family line, so he neglected to care for his wife and children. As a result, something happened to his wife and children.
In this life, Chen Weidong tends to go with the flow. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter whether there is one or not, it's also nice to have more people together and have fun.

"Okay, I know about this, but Mom keeps nagging me about it."

Chen Xiuxiu said with a smile.

"Weidong, I have something to do at home, so I and your sister will go home first."

Sun Tianjun suddenly said at this time.

"Brother-in-law, we just finished our meal, why are you in such a hurry to go back? I'll take you there in a donkey cart later."

"No, it's so far away. Besides, Wu Ni's birthday is in a few days, so we'll come over."

Chen Xiuxiu said.

"Okay then! Xiaojuan, Jianming can come to his uncle's house when he is free!"

"Aunt~"

After greeting each other, my brother-in-law and his family left with the bear meat.

After his brother-in-law and his family left, Chen Weidong was not idle either. He took out two bear skins, hung them on a wooden board, and began to scrape off the fat on the bear skins bit by bit.

I came back too late yesterday and there is still a lot of work left to do.

After he finished his work, he let the dogs out of the kennel and let them walk outside in the yard.

"Dad, let's go skiing!"

Suddenly, a tiny kid sitting on the overturned bench slid to his feet.

At first glance, it was Sanni.

Looking up again, I saw Er Ni, Si Ni and Wu Ni were all on a small slope on the right side of the yard. They seemed to be queuing up to sit on the bench and ski.

"Sit tight, I'll push you up."

"Okay!"

Sanni quickly shrunk her whole body between the four legs of the bench. Chen Weidong held the two legs at the back and quickly pushed forward.

"Faster, Dad, faster!"

"Dad, we want one too! We want one too!"

Si Ni and Wu Ni shouted enviously.

Although Erni didn't shout, the desire in her eyes betrayed her inner thoughts.

"Okay, come one by one!"

Chen Weidong fulfilled their wishes and played with them until he was sweating. Xiaoliu heard the noise and ran over from the yard panting.

"No, Daddy is tired, you guys play by yourselves!"

After more than an hour, Chen Weidong collapsed from exhaustion.

The five children were still in high spirits and clamored to play more. It was only when Erni saw that Chen Weidong was really tired that she pulled her sisters away.

Chen Weidong rested for a while and returned the table.

It's a nice sunny day today.

Many children were skiing outside. Their noses and ears were red from the cold, but they were still enjoying it.

Some of them even had clear snot from the cold, but they didn't care and let the snot hang on their noses, shaking them around. They only wiped them with their sleeves and continued playing.
