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

Chapter 33 The caring little cotton-padded jacket

"What does this little guy want to do?"

"Daddy, does it hurt?" several little kids asked chatteringly.

Dad, it doesn’t hurt!

Listening to his daughters' childish yet caring words, old man Chen Weidong felt his heart almost melted.

Thinking about his previous life, how could he have experienced such considerate and filial respect from his daughters?

A small injury from a bee sting caused my daughters to ask about it one after another.

No wonder they say daughters are their fathers’ little cotton-padded jackets. With such a jacket, you will feel warm both physically and mentally!
Si Ni then remembered something and said in a baby voice: "Daddy, blow on it, it won't hurt anymore!"

After that, the little guy blew very hard beside him. Wu Ni also imitated him and almost blew her saliva onto Chen Weidong's hand.
The key point is that this little guy not only blows it by himself, but also pulls his sisters over to blow it together!
Chen Weidong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly stopped him.

"These two little fools."

Looking at his daughter's cute appearance, his eyes were filled with doting.

In just a moment, Chen Weidong knew what the little girl Sanni was going to do!

She pulled Liu Xueting, who was sleeping in the kitchen, over.

"Mom, daddy is hurt!!"

Sanni looked anxious and pointed at Chen Weidong with her little hand.

Chen Weidong was speechless. It turned out that he went to Liu Xueting to complain!
Chen Weidong glanced at Liu Xueting, who was frowning, and then at Sanni, who was staring at him. He quickly spread his hands and explained, "Wife, it's really nothing. I was just stung by a bee while digging out a beehive. It's not serious. Look."

Liu Xueting's frown finally relaxed. She had just heard the little one hurriedly say that Chen Weidong's hand was very swollen. She was so worried. It turned out that he was stung by a bee. No wonder it was swollen. She was just anxious and didn't think too much about it. Now she is much relieved.

But this person, once she got home, was busy running around and didn't even tell anyone when she was stung by a bee. If her daughter hadn't found out, she wouldn't have known anything at all.

"I'll get you some salt water, rub it on!" Liu Xueting said. This is a folk remedy! It's effective for bee stings.

"Well, wait until I get the honey out!" Chen Weidong smiled and looked at Sanni and his daughters and said, "Now you can all rest assured! It's nothing!"

"Dad, does it still hurt when Si Ni blew it?" The little Si Ni came up again and pointed at Chen Weidong's swollen hand.

Wow, this little guy is really good at asking questions!

Fortunately, Liu Ni has not grown up, otherwise this question would have been asked at least six times.

"Daddy doesn't feel any pain, what else do you want to do?"

Chen Weidong looked at Si Ni, who was staring at his injured hand with her big, silly eyes, and asked in confusion.

"Si Ni has come up with another good idea. Dad, Si Ni will lick you. Last time, Si Ni's hand was bleeding. If you lick it, it will stop bleeding."

As he spoke, the little guy stuck out his tongue.

Could it be that her daughter is really a talented person? You know, she was squeezing honey and got a lot of honey on her hands.

Therefore, Chen Weidong had to doubt the motives of this little guy.

Chen Weidong held her little head with his arm.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Si Ni looked at Chen Weidong with an innocent look and said this while exerting some strength.

"Don't make trouble, Daddy isn't done yet!"

When Chen Weidong finished applying the honey, Liu Xueting wiped it with salt water.

During this time, the little ones had already tasted some pure honey. Now they saw their father wiping their mother's hands and were waiting anxiously.

"Dad! Drink honey, drink honey!"

After Liu Xueting left, Si Ni tugged at the corner of Chen Weidong's clothes and screamed excitedly.

"You are the most anxious. Go get the bowls. Dani is helping dad get a pair of chopsticks and a spoon."

"it is good."

The five little ones hurried out, and Liu Ni wanted to follow them, but was caught by Chen Weidong and held in his arms. "Why are you following them? The sisters will be back soon." Chen Weidong pinched the little one's face and said with a smile.

"Woo~"

The little girl cried anxiously in Chen Weidong's arms. Chen Weidong had no choice but to put her down.

"Dad, Daddy."

Puff, puff, the little ones took out their meals.

Then Chen Weidong took out some honey, put some honey in each bowl, and added hot water.

Si Ni was standing aside excitedly, staring at the bowl in Chen Weidong's hand, looking hungry, just waiting for Chen Weidong to hand her the bowl.

However, Chen Weidong was afraid that they would get burned, so he simply placed the bowls on the table and told the little ones to wait until they were no longer too hot before drinking.

The little ones were clinging to the table, their eyes wide open, watching with curiosity.

"Okay, it's almost done!"

When Chen Weidong gave the order, everyone started drinking from their bowls.
A mouthful of honey water,

Suddenly everyone's face was filled with happy smiles! "Dad! It's delicious!"

"So sweet."

"Sister~"

Liu Ni was screaming anxiously below. Seeing that Dani next to her was about to feed her, Chen Weidong held her in his arms again.

"You want to drink too, don't you? If you don't want to escape this time, just stay in daddy's arms and I will feed you."

Chen Weidong looked at Liu Ni's pink little face and his heart melted.

"Drink~"

This time the little guy understood and stopped resisting, pointing at the bowl next to him.

"Come on, call daddy."

Chen Weidong fed her a mouthful and taught her a sentence. Liu Ni drank very enthusiastically but never cried out.

Chen Weidong was helpless.

Then, almost every kid drank two bowls. Of course, my wife Liu Xueting and Chen Weidong didn't forget either.

This honey weighs about one or two kilograms, enough for my wife and children to drink for a while.

……

"Xue Ting, I plan to go to the county town tomorrow to sell the badger oil and those badger and greyhound skins. I guess I won't be back until very late."

During dinner, Chen Weidong told Liu Xueting about tomorrow's plans.

"It's so far, do you want me to go with you? I can help you with those things."

"No need, I can take it by myself, and you still have to take care of the children at home." Chen Weidong said.

"Dad, are you going to the county town? I want to go with you too! Si Ni is very strong."

When Si Ni heard this, she hurried over to join in the fun.

Chen Weidong finally discovered that this little girl was a conspicuous figure, and she was everywhere.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you go so far? Just eat your meal!"

Chen Weidong picked up a big piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

Si Ni's mouth was blocked, but she was still whimpering, causing the other children to burst into laughter.
Liu Ni didn't understand anything, so she just followed suit and laughed foolishly, and even imitated Si Ni's behavior, whimpering and making noises.

"Idiot, can you please learn something?" Chen Weidong held Xiaoliu on his lap.

After a happy dinner, Chen Weidong began to pack up the dried leather.
