Chapter 121：

Happy days always pass very fast. This year is a warm winter. The sun is high every day. Every morning and afternoon, the children take time to help Su Xiaoxiao with housework and take care of their younger siblings. They will only go out to play when they are sleeping.

As a child king of this age group, Xiao Rice Ball has a lot of friends behind him every day. Xiao Bao was originally the child king of Sujia Village, and he is also a playful person. Xiao Yuer and Dun Dun started preschool last year. They are all in the same class, and Xiaoyuer is also the king of the class, and many children play with him. In this way, almost all the children of this age group who have not returned to the countryside for Chinese New Year get together.

Every day, the King of Children brings a large group of children under the head of the banyan tree, either jumping planes and jumping flower ropes, or rolling iron rings to take pictures, or else they will play all kinds of chess pieces.

Xiaobao suggested that you can go to the beach to play sweet potato nests. The friends don't know what sweet potato nests are.

Xiaobao said: "In our village, we just dug a hole in the field, scalded the hole with firewood, then wrapped the sweet potato in lotus leaves or banana leaves and buried it in, and finally sealed it with charcoal fire, and waited for the charcoal fire on top to cool down completely. You can dig it out and eat it, and the sweet potatoes made in this way are particularly fragrant, and the beach should also be fine.”

The rice ball concluded: "Roast sweet potatoes, right? I haven't tried this roasting method yet, we can try it."

After the children heard it, they hit it off and did what they said. The rice **** were immediately assigned who would go home to get a few sweet potatoes, who would be responsible for carrying firewood, who would be responsible for finding tools to dig holes for sweet potatoes, and who would go home to find lotus leaves…

Su Xiaoxiao's education for children has always been that there is something to discuss with adults. The more you feel that you may be scolded for doing things, the more you have to tell adults, because having such thoughts already means that you yourself are aware of this matter. is wrong.

Therefore, the cubs in the family will not hide everything from Han Cheng and Su Xiaoxiao, they are all negotiable, and the children will not do things that Han Cheng and Su Xiaoxiao say can't be done.

I made an appointment with my friends to play the sweet potato nest, and the cubs told Su Xiaoxiao when they got home.

Dabao and Xiaobao often do this in Sujia Village, and they are on the beach, so there is no danger. Su Xiaoxiao emphasized that it is safe to use fire and that the garbage must be cleaned up after finishing. What is the time to go to the beach? The time is still what, and there is that you can't play water near the beach.

The cubs all remembered, and Su Xiaoxiao asked them to bring some small taro and potatoes.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "These are delicious even when baked. Dabao and Xiaobao have experience, remember to watch them and don't let them mess around." There are good children in the family, Su Xiaoxiao is not worried, just worried about others If there are disobedient children in the family, they will come in and do things.

Dabao and Xiaobao nodded: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take them well."

Dabao is still in the second grade, he is only nine years old, and he is only in the third grade in September. Onigiri and Zhuzi are already in the third grade. Many of their classmates are older than Dabao, but they just like to play with rice balls.

The rice ball said, "Don't worry, Mom, we don't play with bear children, we play with good children who are obedient."

Su Xiao smiled and nodded: "Then you go, look after Xiaodoubao."

Xiaodoubao shook his head: "Mom, I'm not going, there are too many people, I don't know many people, I don't want to go."

Su Xiaoxiao pulled the little cub into her arms: "Okay, then Xiaodoubao won't go, I will stay at home with my mother and my younger brothers and sisters."

Xiaodoubao bent his eyes and hugged his mother, and said softly, "Well, I'll stay at home with my mother and my younger brothers and sisters~~~"

Xiaodoubao always sticks to her mother, and the cubs are not reluctant to pick up things and set off to the beach.

Dabao and Xiaobao and the little rice ball returned to the beach. The little friends were all there, and they dug a big hole and waited there.

Xiao Yu'er not only took a bag of sweet potatoes, but also came along with the candy at home and distributed one to each of the little friends.

The little friend peeled off the candy paper and threw it on the beach, but the small rice ball stopped it on the spot: "You can't leave the garbage here, put the candy paper in your pocket, or you won't eat it."

Xiaoyuer always said what the rice **** were, and he was the first to pick up the candy paper he threw: "Pick it up, or I won't give you candy next time."

Everyone obediently picked up the candy wrapper and put it back in their pockets.

Dabao and Xiaobao put the firewood in the hole and ignited the fire with a little pine needle.

After the firewood burned a lot of charcoal, Dabao asked everyone to spread the sweet potato, taro and potatoes wrapped in lotus leaves on the charcoal fire.

Xiaobao said, "Only one layer can be laid in the middle, and the rest should be placed along the sides, otherwise, if they are not cooked, be careful to burn your hands."

After putting it away, Xiaobao shoveled a thin layer of the hot sand back, and finally put the firewood on the sand and continued to burn. .

The big tree asked, "How long will it take to eat?"

Xiaobao said, "It's about half an hour, until the sand on it is not hot."

Xiao Yu'er said, "I think this way of grilling chicken and grilling fish must be delicious. By the way, we can also pick up shells and grill them!"

The little rice ball nodded: "It's ok, as long as it's wrapped and doesn't get in the sand. My mother bakes it in a clay pot at home. The principle should be the same as this."

The little friends all know Su Xiaoxiao, who is good-looking and gentle, knows a lot of things, and cooks delicious things. They have always been very envious of small rice balls.

Xiao Yu'er said, "We have to wait anyway, so let's go find shells?"

The little rice ball shook his head: "To make seafood, you need a lot of seasonings so that it won't be fishy. Let's eat this first, and let my mother adjust the seasonings and then pick up the seafood and bake it next time, so that it is guaranteed to be delicious."

The little friends have not eaten yet, and they are already looking forward to the next time. The condiments prepared by the mother of the rice **** are so delicious.

Half an hour is actually very fast, and it only takes a few games of flying chess.

When the time was almost up, Xiaobao went to feel the temperature of the sand: "Brother Dabao, I think it's alright, what do you think?"

Dabao peeled off the top layer of sand, and the temperature inside was still very hot, but after so long, he felt almost the same. He nodded and said, "I think it's okay too."

The little rice ball said, "Then let's dig!"

Dabao said: "Be careful and use a wooden stick to dig a little bit, otherwise it will be easy to smash."

The little friends worked together to dig out the buried things, and the lotus leaves were all scorched, exuding bursts of aroma.

One by one, the steaming sweet potatoes and taro potatoes with a little burnt skin were pulled out, and the boys kept gulping when they saw it.

The small rice ball said: "Let's start, everyone, take whatever you like to eat."

Dabao said: "It's very hot, I'm afraid it will be hot and wait a while."

The little friends made a "woohoo", you take a potato and I'll take a sweet potato. It's so hot that it's thrown between both hands, but it's reluctant to throw it.

"Kids, what are you doing?"

The cubs turned their heads, and the little rice ball was surprised, "Are you uncles? We are roasting sweet potatoes, do you want to eat them?"

That's right, it was the two uncles who saluted at their door in the early morning of the New Year's Day.

The two stepped forward and squatted down to take a look. The uncle wearing glasses asked in surprise, "Who came up with this method?"

Dabao is a little bit afraid of life, but Xiaobao is not afraid of life at all. He peels the fragrant roasted taro without throwing the skin around. He knows to put the skin on the lotus leaf. Not only him, but also other children. Yes, no littering at all.

"Don't think about it, our village roasts sweet potatoes like this. You can try one. It's delicious." Xiaobao said.

"Okay." The two uncles picked up the smallest one, broke it apart and tasted it in half, then nodded, "Well, not bad."

The small rice ball reminded them: "My mother said that garbage can't be thrown around, you put the skin on the lotus leaf, and we will take it with us when we leave."

The two uncles looked at each other and were even more surprised. What kind of family taught such a child?

The uncle who wore glasses said, "You guys are awesome, we don't litter." Then he asked casually, "What do your parents do?"

The three cubs looked at each other and looked at them vigilantly.

The rice ball said, "What do you want to do? We are in the military region. Many people's fathers are soldiers who fought bad guys. Don't think about doing bad things."

The two uncles laughed, and the uncle wearing glasses apologized: "You are right, I'm sorry that we were abrupt, we just think that parents who can teach good children like you must be very good."

Regarding his parents, Onigiri is too proud. In fact, no matter Han Cheng, his mother or Su Xiaoxiao, in the eyes of Onigiri, they are all very good people. When he and Xiaodoubao went to see his mother on Qingming Festival, his father also said , their mother is a very good military doctor, women are not allowed to be men, they deserve everyone's respect, and I hope they will remember to come over and give their mother a stick of incense every Qingming and tell her how you are doing.

The little rice ball took a bite of the fragrant sweet potato, straightened his chest and said proudly, "You guys are really insightful, my parents are very, very good, and they are good examples for me to learn from!"

The two uncles looked at each other and nodded: "I see."

The two uncles didn't know what they were doing, and they didn't stay too long. After eating the sweet potatoes, they got up and left.

The little monkey waited for them to leave before saying, "Do you know them on the rice ball?"

The little rice ball shook his head: "I've seen it once, so it doesn't count as acquaintance."

The little monkey said: "I followed my father to the state-run restaurant to deliver things that day. They ordered a lot of food. My father said that the biggest leader received them, and it seemed like a big man from the capital."

The little rice ball doesn't care about this. It doesn't matter who these people are: "It has nothing to do with us. Let's hurry up and pack up after eating. Our younger siblings are about to wake up, so we have to rush back to help."

The little friends took a bite, and the little friends still wanted to eat, some ate several, and each of the three cubs only ate one, and kept a few of their own shares, ready to take home for their mother and mother. They tried the small bean buns. In fact, the small meat buns and small dumplings can also be eaten directly with sweet potatoes, but my mother said that he can only eat the sweet ones with water. The guys brought many varieties of sweet potatoes, and the small rice ball specially picked two small sweet potatoes for the younger brothers and sisters to eat.

The cubs had just cleaned up the beach and prepared to go back, when they heard someone calling them on the shore: "Dabao Xiaobao Rice Ball Xiaoyuer..."

The rice ball just looked over with a pile of garbage, and Dabao and Xiaobao have already started to rush up: "Little Zhuzi, you are finally back, we miss you so much!"

The rice ball then remembered that today is the fourth day of the new year, the day Xiaozhuzi came back from the capital.
