Chapter 113 Intimate
Su Qingyue and Xiang Jianming discussed it and decided to let the educated youth from the Youth Institute serve as teachers to teach literacy work for the workers in the processing plant.

After voting and election, Dai Xiaohong and Zhou Xiang were appointed as literacy teachers in the processing plant, teaching twice a week, mainly teaching workers basic Chinese characters and arithmetic.

As long as you are a worker in the processing plant, you can attend the class for free. Everyone is very enthusiastic about the class, and some people even bring their children who have not been to school to attend the class.

Gradually, more and more people came. On weekends, several children from the village who were studying in the county town came back and attended the classes together.

"Teacher, I know the answer to this question!"

Su Zhuangzhuang raised his hand and read aloud the words on the small blackboard, and received warm applause when he sat down.

Xiang Xiaole was not to be outdone, "Teacher Dai, I can also do arithmetic within ten!"

Several little kids vied to answer questions, bringing the learning atmosphere of the literacy class to a climax.

Even Widow Liu's three children raised their hands to answer the question. Each of them was very confident and not at all as timid as before.

"It's better to study. Look at how much these little kids have changed in half a year. Now they shout at everyone they see and are so sweet."

"Yes, and he's very smart. He knows more words than me. Oh, I'm embarrassed."

After class, people walked home in groups of three or four.

The first snow of winter suddenly fell from the sky. The white snowflakes gradually became heavier, dancing in the air like goose feathers.

The children's screams and laughter suddenly spread into the sky.

Su Qingyue smiled and dragged Su Zhuangzhuang and Su Qingxi home, "Let's go home and eat first. After dinner, we will play snowball fights in the yard!"

"Great! Auntie, I want to be on your team and protect you!"

Su Zhuangzhuang walked back in a baby voice, skipping and jumping.

"Su Zhuangzhuang, after I finish my meal, I also want to play snowball fight with you." He invited Xiaole.

"Brother Xiaole, come on, bring Brother Xiaoqiang to play with you."

Su Qingyue smiled and talked to Kong Shan and her sister-in-law, "After dinner, let the children come to my yard to play. I'll light a few more fires."

"Okay, we'll go there in a moment."

"What do you want to eat later?" Pei Huaiye brushed off the snowflakes on Su Qingyue's hair with a faint smile on his face.

"I want some hot soup."

"How about radish and pork ribs soup and a pot of steamed buns?"

Su Qingyue felt happy just thinking about it. She nodded firmly, "Yeah, I want to eat something spicy."

She has a good appetite recently and wants to eat both sour and spicy food.

Sometimes I feel like a little kid, wanting to cry when I can’t get food.

"I'll prepare them all for you, both sour and spicy."

Pei Huaiye said in a doting voice, "Qingxi, go and call dad and sister-in-law to come over for dinner, don't start the fire."

"Okay, brother-in-law, I want to eat sweet potato balls."

"We have lots of sweet potatoes at home, we'll fry them later!"

Su Qingxi got the answer and went to call for help happily.

"Why is it like Chinese New Year, with fried meatballs and steamed buns?" Su Mingqiang smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Pei Huaiye lit two pots of fire, and the whole kitchen was warm and not cold at all.

"Dad, there is a brazier in the main room. I'll pour some hot tea for you and brother to sit down and rest for a while."

"Qingyue, you go and rest too, don't move."

Pei Huaiye drove everyone to the main hall and brought melon seeds, peanuts and a plate of dried apricots. "It's very sour, try it."

Su Qingyue ate one and her eyes wrinkled because of the sourness. "It's delicious." She threw one after another into her mouth. "Eat too much, be careful of sour teeth."

Li Zilan scolded him. Su Zhuangzhuang also ate a dried apricot. His whole face wrinkled up and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth. "Wow! It's so sour!"

Su Mingqiang laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes, "I told you to be greedy."

Su Qingwu dug a basket of sweet potatoes, washed off the dirt, and brought them to the kitchen. "Huaiye, I'll light the fire for you."

"Row."

Su Qingwu originally thought that his brother-in-law would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed directly. He rubbed his head and had to sit in front of the stove to make a fire.

In the main room, several people were sitting by the fire and chatting.

Soon Pei Huaiye brought a large bowl of steaming buns. Su Zhuangzhuang exclaimed in surprise!

The plump white buns are squeezed together. When you break open the soft skin, you will find fragrant cabbage and tofu inside.

Each person had a bowl of pork ribs and radish soup. The ribs were soft and the radish was sweet. After taking a sip of the soup and eating a bun, a warm feeling swept through the body. There were also two pots of fire in the main room.

Su Mingqiang had never experienced such a winter before, he felt so happy that it seemed like a dream.

Su Qingyue loves spicy food, so Pei Huaiye even made a special kind of spicy cabbage buns. When you break them open, you will find the sour and spicy cabbage filling, which is very tasty.

"Eat slowly, there's still a lot." Su Qingyue had already eaten three buns, and Pei Huaiye handed her another one.

Li Zilan narrowed her eyes. Qingyue had been pregnant for three months and her belly was visibly getting bigger. It wasn't obvious in the previous one or two months, but now her belly was quite big.

After dinner, Su Qingyue began to feel sleepy.

There were two thermos bottles placed inside the bed. Su Qingyue crawled into it and hummed in comfort.

How could Pei Huaiye be so considerate?

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she fell into a deep sleep.

Pei Huaiye closed the door quietly. Kong Shan and her two sisters-in-law came with their children to play snowball fights. He added tea and dried fruits to the main room.

Kong Shan and her sister-in-law were so excited that their eyes almost dropped to their chins.

When Li Zilan asked, she found out that Su Qingyue was sleeping in the room. Pei Huaiye prepared lunch for her and now she was helping to greet people.

How did I get such good fortune?

"This is nothing. Qingyue is pregnant. Pei Huaiye loves her to the core. Before she got pregnant, it was her brother-in-law who cooked for her. Now she doesn't even let anyone wash her clothes. She is not allowed to do anything. She can only eat and sleep whenever she wants."

Kong Shan and Zheng Hui were dumbfounded.

In the yard, Su Zhuangzhuang and several little kids were playing snowball fights in groups. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai also joined in. The two puppies had good food and have grown a lot now. They looked like a big furry ball and were very nice to touch.

The puppy didn't know the rules, so when he saw the round snowball, he ran and chased it.

After catching up, he brought the snowball to Su Zhuangzhuang and Su Qingxi to claim credit.

"They can even pick up snowballs, that's amazing!"

"Zhuangzhuang, don't let the puppies get frozen, and 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 make a snowman." Su Zhuangzhuang's hands were red from playing, and he still dug snow with an excited face.

Xiang Xiaole blew air into Zhuangzhuang's little hand and said, "Let's go, warm ourselves by the fire and then go build a snowman."

Several children returned to the main room to warm themselves by the fire.

Pei Huaiye brought out a basin of hot water, "Come here and soak your hands. Soak for ten minutes before leaving."

His tone was very serious, and the little kids all obeyed him.

Kong Shan winked at Li Zilan, her eyes seemed to say, "This man is so considerate, and he's also good at taking care of children."
