Chapter 9

On weekdays, they would make small fights, and at most they would be scolded and fined to stand. This was the first time they were beaten.

The children sometimes play with this bamboo stick when they are naughty, but they never thought that one day they would spank their own buttocks.

Xu Mei didn't beat them too much, and each of them was beaten five times. Their buttocks were covered with red marks, which looked a little scary.

Seeing it was serious, Xu Mei also controlled her strength, so she didn't dare to hit hard, she would be fine after a night of sleep.

Especially the two small ones, the strength is also under control. Children's skin is tender, and it is easy to turn red everywhere they touch by accident, let alone here.

The children had already burst into tears, and for a moment they didn't know whether they were scared or in pain.

"Put on all your pants." Xu Mei shook her hands, her hands were a little sore.

Su Qinghe thought it would be enough to hit them once, but she didn't expect to hit them so many times, and now she feels a little bit sorry for them.

These days, I have been getting along with a few brothers, and I have developed a little relationship, especially her own brother, who remembers her for everything delicious.

But if you do something wrong, you will be beaten, otherwise you will not know how to lose your life.

"I'm afraid." Wang Xiujuan saw her daughter buried her head in her arms, thinking that the child was frightened.

Su Qinghe found a comfortable place to lie down, and yawned, she was sleepy.

Wang Xiujuan was almost amused by her daughter's move, the little girl was quite courageous, she felt pain when she looked at it, and her heart trembled every time she was hit.

When I put on my trousers, I would definitely touch the place where I was just beaten, but the wind outside was also cool, neither up nor down.

This is not over yet.

Finishing the beating is the first step, Xu Mei made up her mind to teach them an unforgettable lesson today.

If they are going to do bad things in the future, let them think about today and see if they dare.

"Big baby, take your younger brother to wash your face and hands."

This face is made like a cat, and the clothes are almost invisible.

In this winter, the water is so cold, who can feel better about washing clothes, especially when the clothes are so many and heavy, just the children, excluding adults, are enough for them to wash for a whole morning, and their hands will shake after washing.

Children's clothes are the easiest to get dirty. If you run here and drill there, you will get dust all over your body, especially the cuffs, which need to be brushed vigorously every time to clean them.

After hearing Xu Mei's words, the children didn't dare to delay, and followed their elder brother to wash their faces and hands.

The eldest child endured the pain in his buttocks and watched the younger brothers wash them clean. The water was too cold and the two younger ones didn't want to touch it too much.

When Su's mother went to the kitchen to watch, she saw the children washing their hands and faces with grinning teeth, and she knew that there was no hot water.

I poured some hot water for them, and it took them three full washes to thoroughly wash their faces and hands.

After washing, the redness of the eye sockets became more obvious, and some of the burned hands were blistered.

"Look at you, don't worry about your own safety at all, your mother can't be angry." Su's mother was also angry that they didn't know how to cherish themselves and made it like this.

"Wait, give you some medicine before going out."

After taking the medicine before going out, Xu Mei's anger almost disappeared.

Looking at the obvious bandage marks on their hands, they didn't say much.

Take people to the study.

The study room at home is about the same size as several children's rooms. This is the most valuable room in the home, and many things in it are of great value.

Lead them to the desk where they usually practice calligraphy.

The enlightenment of several children was brought by their father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the first calligraphy they learned was brush calligraphy.

There are many children in the family, and things are consumed quickly. At that time, the father-in-law specially asked someone to bring a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and put a few cabinets full, enough for them to squander.

"The eldest child copied the articles he had learned recently, and the second child wrote big characters." Xu Mei didn't say how much she copied, "The third child and the fourth child will help them grind."

The eldest child practiced the longest. Although the handwriting is not particularly good, it is enough to copy things. The second child is still in the stage of practicing big characters, but it is better than the two younger ones.

The two youngsters have just learned how to hold a pen, and if they are asked to write, what they write will be a smear, and it will be a waste of things.

Although there are enough things in the house for them to rush around, they can't be wasted casually.

Hearing her mother's arrangement, the second baby frowned, and was stopped by the older baby just as she was about to say something.

The two young ones may not be able to write, but they can still polish the two young ones. Every time the two elder brothers are called by the grandfather to the study to practice calligraphy.

They were curious, so they came along with their elder brother.

Su's father saw that they would not leave or drive them away, so he let them grind for his two elder brothers.

Although I play more than I do, but in the end it is the same as knowing, not just standing around and doing nothing.

"I'll just stand here and watch my brother write." Xu Mei stood watching for a while before leaving.

As soon as they went out, the two little ones were about to put down the ink sticks in their hands.

The second baby also lost the intention to write, and was just about to put down the pen when the eldest baby glanced at it.

"Brother," Erwa felt aggrieved, "Why don't they use writing?"

How easy it is to grind, you can rest after grinding for a while, but they have to keep writing, his hands are already blistered, and he can't even hold the pen well.

The big baby still kept moving his hands, and wrote every stroke very seriously, "They are young, so we did something wrong in the first place, and we should be punished."

Erwa pouted and wanted to say something, but seeing that her elder brother was still writing, she endured it.

Pick up the pen again, and write slowly with patience.

He said he was dissatisfied, but he still wrote it seriously. He knew that if he didn't write well, his mother would definitely not let them go out.

Although the two little ones didn't need to write, they didn't dare to sit down, their buttocks were still hurting the most, and they stood obediently by the side to watch their brother write.

But after all, when I was young, I couldn't stand up for a while, and I turned my head to look around.

Outside, Mother Su took ointment for the two daughters-in-law.

"Paint them at night while you sleep."

"Don't worry Mom."

If you fight back, you have to paint what should be painted, Xu Mei is still clear about this, it's all a piece of meat that fell off from October's pregnancy, how can she really ignore them.

Su Qinghe was sleepy after watching the excitement, and now she was hugged and lying on the bed to sleep.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not free either, and went to the backyard to clean up the mess they left behind.

At a glance, I saw the holes dug by several children. The originally good land was not only blacked out, but also dug a hole.

"I said I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so I dug a hole and roasted them myself."

"They usually eat and drink, so why are they thinking about this thing?" Xu Mei couldn't figure it out, so she wanted to tell them about it.

Is it possible that I don’t want to feed them, throw a few under the stove when cooking, and when the meal is ready, the sweet potatoes are ready to eat.

"Where children eat is something, it is the result of their own making." Su's mother guessed that they might have seen it before they wanted to learn it.

Wang Xiujuan picked up a sweet potato on the ground, the outside was roasted black, it looked like it was ripe.

"Are you ready?" Xu Mei was also a little curious.

Wang Xiujuan took it in her hand and pinched it, dumbfounded, her pinch was hard, "It's still raw."

Xu Mei didn't believe it, so she went to pick up other ones. They started working so hard in the early morning, but they didn't even know any of them.

"When cooking at night, throw it under the stove and continue baking."

Su's mother was soft-hearted, the child was busy for a long time, and was beaten, but the child was not cooked at all.

The father and son walked away with empty hands, and came back with big bags.

Fortunately, it was dark early, and there were not many people on the road, so it didn't attract many people's attention.

Catch the last bus back home, there were not many people on the bus, and the father and son all found seats to sit down.

"So many things?" But there are always people who are curious and can't help asking.

With this sound, the few people in the car looked at the three of them.

Fortunately, I have already thought about the caliber.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, I just had a baby at home, and it's still cold this winter, so I asked my relatives in the city to make a quilt."

"That's right, I've never seen such a heavy snowfall before, it's strange today."

The two brothers drank together and quickly diverted everyone's attention.

"It's rare to see snow in our place. The last time it was several years ago." The person who just asked couldn't help but nodded.

As soon as someone started the conversation, someone immediately started chatting.

"Who says it's not? I heard that many people in my natal village froze to death. Who would have expected it to be so cold this winter."

"Some people's roofs in our village were crushed by the snow, and the whole family was frozen under the same blanket."

"."

There was a lot of discussion, and at this time, everyone had nothing to know about the outside world, and they all relied on one mouth to pass it on.

The father and son stopped talking, just listened to others talking there, and got off the bus when they got to the stop.

The three of them didn't take the main road, but took the small road directly. This road is closer to home, and there is no need to detour.

Especially if you don't have to go around the village. Although they have little contact with the people in the village, the more they do this, the more curious they become.

When they first moved here, many people sneaked around the house a few times, wishing they could find out all the things in their house.

This also made Su's father, who was planning to get along well with everyone, stop thinking about it.

The fence of the house was deliberately high, and a lot of glass shards were placed on it, so that even thieves could be found in time.

"Why haven't you come back yet?" Mother Su looked at the time, and waited for them to come back after all the meals were ready.

"Mom, don't worry, it's getting dark fast, maybe the road is slow."

It looked dark this day, but it was actually just before six o'clock.

"Are you awake?" Mother Su nodded and turned back.

Wang Xiujuan just went to see it, "Not yet, this child won't wake up until around seven o'clock."

Now everyone in the family has figured out the obedient schedule. Wang Xiujuan now visits her every half an hour, just because she is afraid that she will kick the quilt if she is fast asleep.

The food is also ready, put it in the pot to warm up, and wait for them to come back to start the meal.

in the study.

Xu Mei took a rough look at what they wrote, and her attitude was quite correct, without perfunctory.

As for the two little ones, they couldn't stand up for a long time, but their buttocks still hurt so they didn't dare to sit on the stool, so they just lay there.

When they heard someone coming in, they got up in fright.

Xu Mei didn't say anything when she saw it, and checked what they had copied.

"Clean up your things and come out."

Hearing that they were able to go out, the faces of the children showed joy. Finally, he was able to go out, and his hands were sore.

But they were beaten just now, and they dare not be too presumptuous now.

"Mom, daughter-in-law, we are back."

A familiar voice came from outside.
