Days in the cute animal world

Chapter 363 412 New Year's Eve

After a while, Xiao Huihui and Xiaogou came. As soon as Xiao Huihui came, he told Mu Ya that the weird guy who was sent to the school in the morning had been crying and making noise all the time. Brother Dalang didn't dare to beat or scold him. He was tired and fell asleep before he left.

"Sister Mu Ya, where did that little sister come from? Everyone said they didn't know her." Xiao Huihui asked curiously.

The little dog is not interested in that strange person. He hasn't seen Zuo Zuo and You You for several days. Yesterday he got a piece of ice from the river and carved a pony for Zuo Zuo and You You to play with.

It's going to be a little bit now, so I asked around in the kitchen, so I went to find them.Mu Ya felt a little sorry for the child, and asked Xiao Huihui, "Apart from crying, did you say anything else?"

"Yes, yes, yes, save us, I am Xiaoyu's younger brother, please help us." Xiao Huihui said in the tone of that child, and Mu Ya felt a little strange when she heard it. Speaking of it, that child is really It's very poor, but unfortunately, she can't be saved no matter what, and she must not be soft-hearted if she can't be soft-hearted.

After a while, the children came out of the kitchen, laughing while running, holding a golden ice sculpture in their left and right hands, shouting: "Little horse, fly, fly." Left, don't run, play with me, play with me quickly."

Seeing the children having fun, Mu Ya couldn't help but smile, and said to Xiao Huihui, "I really hope that all of us can be so happy forever."

Xiao Huihui thought of her brother and her mother who didn't know what was going on now, she felt a little sad and pouted.

Seeing that Xiao Huihui was unhappy, Mu Ya thought about what the child might be thinking, and said, "Okay, okay, now that we are here in Rainbow Village, everything will be fine, and when next spring, your mother may I'm coming too."

Speaking of Patriarch Jiang, Mu Ya also misses Patriarch Jiang very much, and misses the life that everyone lived together at that time. If Patriarch Jiang is here now, that would be great, Xiao Huihui and the others will have their own relatives.Patriarch Jiang can also help to build the village better, and Yanyi will never have to work so hard again. Mu Ya thought for a long time, hoping that this winter will pass quickly, and when this winter passes, everything will be better.

But this winter is not as Mu Ya hoped, but it is getting colder and colder. The water in the river is already several feet thick, and the water in the water tank at home is frozen. Water needs to be boiled to melt ice before it can be used to boil hot water.

Now the children sleep with their grandma at night, and the body temperature of Baoer and Diandian is higher than that of humans, so the children like to sleep with Baoer and Diandian, and they are not afraid of the cold.

It’s been too cold recently, and Yanyi doesn’t go out to look for copper mines anymore. He stays at home with Muya and the children every day. The whole family basks in the sun at the door during the day and has a hearty lunch at noon. In the afternoon, Muya will teach the children. Read books, teach them to sing.

Time passed quickly, and it will soon be New Year's Eve. On this day, this New Year's Eve, Mu Ya notified her to go out early. Early in the morning, Mu Ya was thinking about how to decorate her home.During the Chinese New Year, couplets must be posted, lanterns must be pasted, and fireworks and firecrackers must be set off at night to send off the past year and welcome the new year.

Early in the morning, Mu Ya asked Yanyi to go to the hot spring to find sulfur and come back. She might not have made enough fireworks, so she wanted to prepare more.She is dyeing red paper with her children. The weather today is also good. It has just snowed, and the sunny day after the snow can just come to dry the paper.

Xiaogou and Xiaohuihui came early in the morning, they have been picking up pickpockets for today, and Xiaogou still asked Mu Ya what to prepare, because it was his first time to celebrate Chinese New Year, and the villagers in Lieyan Village didn’t know what Chinese New Year was , so no one was prepared, he wanted to come to Sister Mu Ya's house, to learn something, so that he could go back and spread the word to everyone, so that everyone would know what Chinese New Year is and come and have fun.

Xiao Huihui doesn’t know anything about paper making, and it’s the first time he’s participating today. He wants to learn everything now. Seeing that Ah Fen can see a doctor, he wants to learn too. Brother Xiaogou knows martial arts, writing, reading, and Making paper is simply amazing. He must be as good as Brother Xiaogou, so that he can protect his clan members in the future.

In the morning, Mu Ya taught everyone how to make the paper. She used cinnabar to adjust the red color of the paper to be dyed.Young children, when they saw the red paint, thought they could eat it, especially Zuo Zuo and Bao Er, who were not sensible, wanted to drink the contents when they came running, so scared Mu Ya hurriedly stopped them.After teaching the children to say that their stomach hurts after eating, the children shut up.

When she was young, she had an aunt who made red paper. When she was young, her aunt would use chopsticks to light red paper paint to give children foreheads.

Mu Ya also ordered one for each of the children today, the younger children especially liked it, only the little dog and Xiao Huihui ran away and refused to order, and laughed and said: "The red ones look like Little female beast, no no no no no no."

I didn’t realize it before, but now the children understand the difference between men and women. Is this an improvement or a regression? Mu Ya saw that Ah Fen’s hair was messy, and it looked like it hadn’t been washed for several days. Also, the weather has been cold recently. , The children don't take a bath very much.

Today is the New Year's Eve. In Mu Ya's hometown, the New Year's Eve is an important day. Today is to remove dust, so no matter men, women, young or old, you have to take a shower, wash your hair, clean yourself up, and get ready for the next day. one year.

During the drying time, Mu Ya shoveled snow and boiled water, bathed and shampooed the children.

They don’t have a change of clothes for the puppy, so they don’t want to wash it. In the words of the puppy, “It’s dirty, but it’s warmer. We’re used to it. Why don’t we wash our hair.”

Mu Ya had no choice but to wash the hair of each of the children. There was no bath tent at home. She was afraid that it would be too cold and the children would freeze in the bath, so she gave up and washed the hair of the two children. Grandma saw that there were many children. Also come to help.Washed the hair of the children.

After washing their hair, all of them were steaming from the top of their heads, pointing at each other's tops and laughing, the little dog asked curiously, "Sister Mu Ya, why are the tops of our heads smoking."

The smoke only comes out when it is on fire. The children are quite scared, especially Jing'er, who shouted: "This is terrible, is the top of Jing'er's head on fire?" The tone of the children's speech is very interesting , the voice is sweet.

"It's okay, it's not on fire, it's because you just washed your hair, there's hot air on your head, because the weather is cold, the hot air meets the cold air, and it turns into water droplets, get it!" Mu Ya explained Dao, she has already explained it very easily, and I hope the children can understand.

Jing'er, Xiao Huihui, and Ah Fen all looked away, not understanding, but knowing that it wasn't because of the fire, they were all relieved, only Xiaogou kept thinking, why this happened, "Is it because of the dew in autumn?" Because of the cold weather, there is dew."

This question was studied too deeply, and Mu Ya was afraid that the puppy would get stuck, so she said, "Well, it's like this, it's good to know that there is no danger, and there are many problems, you will know when you grow up."

The little dog nodded, and he went back to write down this new discovery.

The children's hair was dried, and the paper was also dried. Mu Ya began to dye the paper, spread the paper flat and put it in a wooden bucket, dyed the paper, and after the dye was finished, the puppy followed it, and spread it on the mat to dry .

After everything was done, grandma also made lunch, and we all had mutton hot pot at noon.This is Mu Ya's favorite, she could smell the fragrance from a distance, but Yan Yi hasn't come back yet, she just asked him to find some sulfur and come back, why did he go for so long.

The children also smelled the fragrance, and couldn't wait any longer, so they all sat there, not in the mood to play, but just waiting for delicious food.

Granny's craftsmanship is getting better and better now, and the food smells so good, even Mu Ya couldn't help swallowing several times, "Okay, let's wash our hands and go back and sit down. Let's have dinner together when we come back, okay?"

When the children heard that they were going to be able to eat, they were very happy. They washed their hands one after another, found a seat and sat down, waiting for food. Left and right, they wanted to eat balls, sweet balls, but there was no such thing as mutton What a favor, as long as it is sweet, they like to eat it.

Grandma has already cooked a large pot of stewed mutton with Chinese cabbage, red peppers, and potatoes and radishes in the pot. Seeing that the children are all seated, she said: "Let's start the meal! The children are hungry. , I will keep it for him.”

This was the only way to go. Mu Ya was also afraid that the children would be hungry, so she asked grandma to cook. After a while, the little ones took their own bowls, went to the kitchen, and went to grandma's to get vegetables. Each person got a bowl of stewed mutton, and another Multigrain steamed buns.

The children ate and shouted that it was delicious, especially Xiao Huihui and the others, there was no such delicious food in the dormitory, and Xiaogou and Brother Ah Fen couldn't eat such delicious food either.

Mu Ya saw that the little brother was in a hurry to eat, and comforted him: "Little brother, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, be careful of choking." The older one is taking care of the younger one, and the younger one doesn't even have a name yet.

"Xiaogou, please give me a name! You have read so many books, and now Mu Ya will test you to see if you can name me." Mu Ya suddenly raised this matter Come.

The little dog was eating happily. Hearing what Mu Ya said, he thought about it, and yes, brother Yanyi has a name, sister Mu Ya has a name, even Zuo Zuo and You You have names.He remembered that it was said in the book that when a person is born in this world, he must have a surname and a first name, so that he can be regarded as living in the world.

What is the surname and what is the first name? He has also pondered this question for a long time, and he has not figured it out until now. He has memorized the surnames of hundreds of families before. The book says that surnames and surnames are two stages of human progress. product.But what is civilization, the puppy still doesn't understand.

"Sister Mu Ya, what is a name? The little dog is our name, and the younger brother is also the younger brother's name, isn't that the case." Xiaogou asked.
