Chapter 35 We Will Live Better

After shopping around the town, all the necessities to buy for the New Year are almost complete.

Yao Feng then went to the patrol mansion to call Yao Chao, and the three brothers and sisters rushed home with their four children.

In the blink of an eye, the end of the year has come.

These days, Mother Yao took Yao Shu and her two daughters-in-law to clean up the whole house.

The two brothers Yao Feng and Yao Chao took a few children and put up the pair of the post, decorating the whole Yao family happily.

No, it can be said that the whole Yaojia Village has the atmosphere of Chinese New Year.

The children are the happiest, and from time to time they go out to show off the snacks they made at home...

29 that day.

Mother Yao and her two daughters-in-law were busy in the kitchen without touching the floor.

In his previous life, Yao Shu had researched food, worked in the yard with a few sister-in-laws and discussed the big meals in the New Year's Eve, making the children around him salivate.

It wasn't until the sun went down, after dinner, and after working hard for a long time, that I packed up.

After Yao Shu finished her work, she was so tired that she just wanted to fall asleep. When she went back to her room, she saw Dabao and Erbao sitting on both sides and chatting, and Sanbao lying between her brothers and sisters, sleeping soundly——

Sanbao started to like to climb now. Fortunately, the kang in the farmhouse was big enough and warm enough for him to crawl around and play by himself.

Seeing that the adults were busy all the time, Ah Zhi and Ah Si volunteered to take care of their younger brother after dinner, which was considered a great help to Yao Shu.

Seeing his mother enter the door, Ah Zhi made a shh gesture with his little hand, and nodded his brother, "Mother! My brother is already asleep! Do you want to carry him into the cradle?"

Ah Si is putting away the toys spread out by Sanbao to make room for A Niang.

Yao Shu smiled and praised the two children: "Da Bao and Er Bao are really capable! Let my brother sleep, and sleep with us on the kang tonight."

Although Ah Si is still young, she has the consciousness of her older sister, and reported to Yao Shu decently: "My brother played with the little wooden horse for a while, and then he was hungry. My brother went to the kitchen to bring rice cereal, and Er Bao fed my brother. The two of us After I finished with my younger brother for a while, my younger brother began to sleep until you came back, A Niang."

Yao Shu saw that the little girl clearly described what she did that night, which was very different from the timid look she had when she was at Lin's house a few months ago, and she felt emotional.

At the same time, I love this well-behaved and smart daughter more and more in my heart.

"Er Treasure is doing very well." She touched Ah Si's soft hair, and said to the two children in a warm voice, "Tomorrow we can sleep a little longer to keep our spirits up, and we have to watch at night."

The two children responded in unison, "Okay."

After the mother and son washed up and cleaned up, they lay on the kang and chatted for a while, dreaming of meeting Duke Zhou one after another.

……

On New Year's Eve, Yao Shu, his relatives and children watched the New Year in the yard.

At the moment of darkness, the lights in front of every house are brightly lit.

The small farmyard was tidied up, and the charcoal brazier in the house melted the cold winter air.

Yao Shu sat quietly at the table, listening to Yao's father and mother's blessings to everyone.

Immediately, she saw her eldest brother get up to light firecrackers. Amidst the crackling sound of firecrackers, Ruyu's second brother approached his second sister-in-law and said something, which caused her to smile coquettishly.

A few children gathered around the aunt to get snacks, chasing each other excitedly...

Yao Shu regained his concentration, and suddenly felt that he should belong here, with an inexplicable sense of belonging.

After dinner.

Yao Shu sat in front of the charcoal fire, with his well-behaved daughter in his arms, and while peeling peanuts for her to eat, he asked in a low voice, "Is Er Bao cold?"

Ah Si snuggled into his mother's arms affectionately, shook his head, took the peanuts that A Niang handed over, and smiled foolishly, "A Niang, you can eat too..."

The mother and daughter peeled one, ate the other, and whispered something occasionally, and they didn't think keeping the old age was a boring thing.

Ah Zhi had just finished setting off a set of firecrackers with his uncle, still smelling of gunpowder, and leaned over to Yao Shu: "Mother! Will we celebrate the New Year like this next year?"

Yao Shu smiled and asked, "Does Dabao like it?"

"Yes, I like it!"

"Dabao believes in Auntie. On New Year's Eve next year, we will have a better life..."

Mother's voice was drowned in the lively hustle and bustle on New Year's Eve, and the cold night wind melted into her gentle voice.

Ah Zhi held the firecracker in his hand, and showed a big smile on his face, just like the smiles that all children of this age would show, pure and joyful.

It's just that this night was too grand and lively, and in the depths of his heart that he didn't know, there was such a trace of yearning and sentimentality for his dead father...
