Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm

It usually gets dark earlier during the winter, and today is no exception.

At this time, the sky was already stained with a hazy black.

The firecrackers were lit, emitting flickering flames in the darkness, illuminating everyone's body and face.

Although it was dark, the momentary light allowed people to clearly see that the villagers all had joyful smiles on their faces.

Brilliant and simple.

At this moment, everyone is excited about the arrival of New Year's Eve, and everyone is looking forward to the coming New Year.

"A year has passed with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu."[Note 1]

They bid farewell to the old year happily and greet the new year with the greatest enthusiasm.

Everyone firmly believes that all the suffering will eventually pass and next year will be better!

In the drying yard, there were also many children setting off firecrackers, and some even encouraged Ye Yaoyao to come down and play with them.

It is impossible to play together.

Although Ye Yaoyao felt itchy, she still stayed obediently on Meng Huaishao's shoulder.

As a well-behaved and cute (or naughty) baby, he still has to earn some face for his brother outside.

So, Ye Yaoyao rejected the children's invitation and just accepted their candy.

Of course, she also got her share of candy.

Anyway, there is farm space, and she can take out new candies from her arms (farm) anytime and anywhere.

She even distributed a lot of dried dates.

She couldn't even eat enough of this stuff, but when she saw the kids loved eating it, she grabbed handfuls of it and gave them to them.

Anyway, it's pitch black everywhere and no one knows how much she has caught, so she can just give away as many as she wants.

It’s the New Year, so the point is to have fun!

Only after everyone stopped setting off firecrackers did Ye Yaoyao follow Meng Huaishao home to stay up until the New Year.

Shousui means waiting for the new year.

Elderly people stay up all night to say goodbye to the old year and cherish the time.

Young people stay up all night to have new expectations for the new year and to spend time with their parents and elders, hoping to prolong their parents' and elders' life.

Meng Huaishao and Ye Yaoyao have no elders in their families, and considering Ye Yaoyao's young age, Meng Huaishao only plans to stay up until the early morning.

Generally speaking, families with elders will stay up until midnight and let the children go to bed.

Most of the people who stay up all night are adults.

And their overnight mission was given to Ye Xiaobai...

When Ye Xiaobai was assigned the task, the whole wolf was dumbfounded.

"Ahhh~" You two, you didn't think about me when you were eating the New Year's Eve dinner, but you thought of me when you stayed up late?

"Good~"

Ye Yaoyao touched the head of the smaller version of Xiaobai.

"Brother made chicken for you today!"

Ye Yaoyao spoke earnestly and heartfelt words in the most childish voice.

"Besides, dogs have to guard the house at night!"

Ye Xiaobai: “…”

First of all, the chicken was cooked yesterday and stored in the warehouse...

Although it tastes exactly the same as when it came out of the pot, does it really count as a New Year’s Eve dinner?

Second, it's not a dog...

Finally, wolves will not guard other people's homes, stealing homes is more like...

However, looking at Ye Yaoyao's bright eyes, Ye Xiaobai didn't say a word and just agreed directly.

"Okay, I'll add chicken legs tomorrow!"

"Add separately!"

Ye Yaoyao nodded, she understood.

Tomorrow Xiaobai will get two chicken legs and Xiaoqing will get one.

Xiaoqing will be jealous again tomorrow.

"Hey~"

Ye Yaoyao sighed, these two little pets always have a desire to win at all times and in all places!

This damn desire to win!

Pretty good!

Because they will compete to perform and then ask for rewards from themselves.

The rewards are also simple, either they grow on trees, swim in the water, or are caught by going up the mountain.

Anyway, simple!

After finishing the night watch, Meng Huaishao moved the stove to the hall, lit it in a sheltered place, and placed a kettle of boiling water on it.

Of course, don't forget to close the door and open a window for ventilation.

Then, he moved the table and benches next to the stove, put cakes and candies on them, poured hot water, and let Ye Yaoyao sit down.

After Ye Yaoyao sat down and warmed herself by the fire for a while, she felt very hot, so she took off her cloak and started eating cakes.

Most of these pastries were bought when I purchased New Year’s goods last time. There are all kinds of them and they all taste pretty good.

After eating a piece of cake and drinking some water, Ye Yaoyao's stomach was full in a short while.

She rubbed her belly, feeling aggrieved.

"My stomach is too small. I can't eat any more after just a little bit!"

Meng Huaishao looked at the three empty plates on the table, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

You know, for dinner today, Ye Yaoyao ate 30% more than usual...

At this moment, he finished three plates of cakes...

The night was still long, and in order to divert Ye Yaoyao's attention, Meng Huaishao began to think of ways to bring up various topics.

However, it is not a big deal to just chat casually, but it is really difficult to find topics to talk about deliberately!

Especially, the person being talked to is a little baby who is not very qualified.

Even if you use the same method to coax a baby, it doesn't work every time.

Only the food recipe is effective every time you use it.

It's the baby's stomach that suffers...

Meng Huaishao calmly moved the plate of dim sum, which was once again half empty, a little further away, and then he had an idea.

"Yaoyao, let me teach you how to read!"

He could still recognize a few words, otherwise he wouldn't be able to recognize the words in the recipe.

Moreover, the recipes also come with video introductions, so without him noticing, he has learned a lot more words.

The difference is that when we learned to read before, we learned classical Chinese, which was obscure and difficult to understand.

The characters learned in the "Supplementary Food Encyclopedia", in addition to the fonts and word formation, are more colloquial than vernacular Chinese and are simpler and easier to understand.

Now, he is still confident in teaching Ye Yaoyao to recognize a few words.

Ye Yaoyao was surprised to hear that Meng Huaishao actually wanted to teach her to read for the first time.

So much so that her first reaction was not to say "OK", but to ask him: "You, teach a baby to read?"

Meng Huaishao: “…”

Meeting Meng Huaishao's embarrassed gaze, Ye Yaoyao finally realized that knowing how to read is a good thing!

She is just a baby's body, not her mind. Why does she really think of herself as a baby?

She quickly tried to make up for it: "Brother! I can do it! Yaoyao is very good!"

In the end, Meng Huaishao still taught Ye Yaoyao to read.

There was no other way. If he didn't teach him, he was afraid that the little guy would get hurt.

"Let's learn your name first!"

Ye Yaoyao nodded. She had no objection to learning anything. The key was not to be illiterate!

"Hey!"

As soon as Meng Huaishao arrived, he used his trump card, which made Ye Yaoyao dizzy.

Although, she could probably guess that the word was "叶", but the strokes were always unfamiliar to her.
