Chapter 711 Old Father's Worries
"Brother, if you hold the snowball and roll it this way, the snowball will become round."
"It's not like that, it's like this, don't press hard."
"Oops, it didn't compress well and it broke."
"..."
I don't know if he couldn't control his strength well, but Gu Xici taught him for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out. Either it fell apart halfway through pushing, or it formed a weird shape, and it took more effort to repair it than to push it again.
Qin Xiaoxiao stood under the eaves and watched with great interest. She remembered that when she was a child, she could not push the snowball well. Every time she made a snowman, she always needed Brother Li's help to build a complete snowman.
She couldn't learn from Momo now, so she had to admit that it was probably her fault.
July and August, who had just woken up, were held by their respective nannies. They were also watching their brothers push the snowman, with obvious curiosity in their little eyes, and their dark eyeballs moved along with their brothers' movements.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked amused, hooked Qiyue's little chin and spoke to her: "When you and your sister grow up, you can play in the snow with your brothers."
When Qiyue heard her voice, she turned her little head to look at her, started babbling, and struggled to stretch her little arms out of the thick blanket, trying to catch the falling snowflakes.
Her little arms and hands were wrapped tightly in the little clothes, not even a little finger was exposed, so naturally she couldn't catch any snowflakes, and she couldn't help but groan in anxiety.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoxiao spread her hands to catch two snowflakes, but as soon as they put them in front of the little girl, the snowflakes melted into water. She then got a small ball of snow from the railing and threw it into her little girl.
I put it on my face.
"Wow!" The little girl was stimulated by the sudden coldness. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the snow ball in front of her in surprise, and stretched out her short arms to grab it.
August watched the interaction between her mother and sister and wanted to join in. She started jumping in the nanny's arms and kept making noises.
Naturally, Qin Xiaoxiao would not neglect her little daughter. He gently touched her face with a small ball of snow that had not yet melted. He saw that the girl's reaction was exactly the same as her sister's, and she began to wave her little arms to grab the snow in her hand.
group.
The two sisters are both lazy little boys, and they are rarely so active. The whining sounds immediately attracted the attention of the three little boys who were still competing with pushing the snowball.
Seeing that their sisters wanted to play with snowballs, Mo Mo and Gu Xici immediately took clean snow, squeezed a small ball, and happily held it in front of the two sisters. They found that their little hands could not grasp it, and it went directly through the cuffs of their sleeves.
Stuff it in.
"The snow is too icy. My sisters may catch a cold after playing in the snow. When they grow up, they can play with you." Qin Xiaoxiao stopped the two boys and took out the two snow balls.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xici hurriedly stood on tiptoes and took out August's cuffs, fearing that the remaining snow would freeze her hands.
After making sure that Sister August's cuffs were clean and not even stained, he saluted Qin Xiaoxiao and said shamefully: "Madam, it was Xi Ci's fault that I almost hurt Sister August."
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't expect him to be so cautious. She thought her tone was too harsh and scared him, so her expression became gentler: "It doesn't matter, you are still a child who needs someone to take care of you. It's normal not to know this."
Seeing that she didn't mean to blame him, Gu Xici became happy: "When Sister August grows up, I will teach Sister August to build a beautiful big snowman!"
Qin Xiaoxiao thought his appearance was particularly cute and innocent, so she couldn't help but raise her hand and rub his little head: "Okay."
Gu Xici was stunned, forgetting to blink, and looked straight at Qin Xiaoxiao, his eye circles gradually turning red.
Qin Xiaoxiao was startled, thinking that the child didn't like being touched on the head, so he quickly took back his hand and apologized: "It's my fault. I did this without Xi Ci's permission. I apologize to you."
Gu Xici shook his head desperately, wiped his eyes with his little hand, and showed a bright smile to her: "Madam, I like it very much, it reminds me of my mother, thank you!"
Qin Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly felt sour, and she slowly raised her hand and gently rubbed his little head again: "You're welcome, since you call Momo Naonao your eldest brother and second brother, you can call me 'Aunt Qin' or "Aunt Qin" in the future.
'Aunt Qin'."
Gu Xici's eyes lit up and he changed his words without hesitation: "Aunt Qin!"
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and held the child in his arms: "Good boy."
Mo Mo was not happy anymore, so he held on to her hand and jumped up and down: "I want it too, I want it too!"
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly, freed up a hand to rub the boy's head hard twice, and then held the silly little thing with a chicken coop in his arms: "What a little fool!"
After saying that, her claws fell on the head of Nao Nao who sneaked over, ruffled his hair, and then she hugged him into her arms, earning a slightly disgusted look from the kid.
The three children crowded together, smelling the delicious fragrance of their mother (aunt), with satisfied smiles on their little faces.
"Big brother and second brother, let's go build a snowman quickly. Sister August wants to see it." After Gu Xici was happy, he felt a little embarrassed. He reluctantly left Aunt Qin's arms and held the hand that was making noise in silence.
I ran to the yard and prepared to pile up the snowman in one go.
The two brothers had no objection and rushed into the snowdrift. They worked together to push the snowballs into the open space. Their little hands carefully trimmed the areas that were not round enough, trying to build a beautiful snowman for their sisters.
look.
Looking at Gu Xici's busy little figure, Qin Xiaoxiao felt a deep pity in his heart.
This child is the youngest son of the current Duke Dingguo, and the son of Duke Dingguo and his first wife. He should have enjoyed the favor of the entire family, but after giving birth to him, Mrs. Dingguo accidentally suffered a hemorrhage and died.
As for this child, he has never enjoyed his mother's love.
Not only that, it could be seen from the child's words that his father was very cold towards him and almost never gave him a smile. Once when she saw Brother Li making fun and laughing, she could clearly see the envy and yearning in the child's eyes.
She heard that Duke Dingguo and his wife were a young couple. They had been together for twenty years and had a deep relationship. It was difficult not to suspect that the child Xi Ci was angered by Duke Ding. If this was the case, there was no guarantee that the child would turn his mother into a child.
His death was attributable to himself.
The rights and wrongs between father and son are not outsiders' business. She only hopes that this child, who is as old as her son, can live a happier life and not bear the burden of guilt that he should not bear.
Gu Xici didn't know what Qin Xiaoxiao was thinking, so he worked hard to build snowmen with his two brothers. Every time he accidentally touched Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes, he could feel the care and love in them, and he would feel happy in his heart.
The mood made him work even harder.
After about half an hour, the snowman, which was about the same height as them, was finally piled up.
Silently looking left and right, he was extremely satisfied with the snowman he had built for the first time. He ran up to Qin Xiaoxiao and asked for praise: "Mom, mom, the snowman is done. Isn't it cute?"
Nao Nao and Gu Xici also came over. They were much more stable than Mo Mo, but their faces also showed the hope of asking for praise.
Naturally, Qin Xiaoxiao would not damage the children's self-confidence, and praised the little snowman from beginning to end: "It's cute, especially the round head, round eyes and smiling face. Only cute and smart children can
Pile it out..."
This kind of praise made the three little guys like it from the bottom of their hearts. This feeling of satisfaction was deeper than the praise from the husband and wife, and they narrowed their eyes with joy.
Mo Mo said excitedly: "When it snows next time, would you like Mom to build a snowman with us? Let's build a big one, so big!"
Qin Xiaoxiao responded with a smile: "Okay, next time I'll call your dad too, and we'll do it together!"
When the three little guys heard this, they couldn't help but fantasize about the excitement of building a snowman next time, and they were all very happy.
Then they showed off to their two younger sisters. Even though the younger sisters couldn't understand what they were talking about, each of them spoke with gusto, and once again promised to take the younger sisters to build a snowman together in the future.
After that, the three of them had a snowball fight and played crazy in the snow.
Qin Xiaoxiao did not restrain them and let them have fun at once.
It wasn't until the three boys were sweating from running around and stopped playing when they were tired that Qin Xiaoxiao had someone strip them naked one by one and throw them into a bathtub filled with water to prevent them from catching a cold.
.
There was an earth dragon burning in the house, and it wouldn't be cold to take a bath. Momo was dishonest and poured water on his two younger brothers. Soon the three of them had a water fight, making the ground wet, and asked the maid who served them to take a bath.
They have nowhere to go.
In the end, Qin Xiaoxiao stood outside and scolded them before the three little guys calmed down and drank a large bowl of hot ginger soup with their little faces wrinkled after taking a bath.
Gu Xici was very reluctant to leave and showed his intention to come over next time during the holiday.
After Momo promised, he would send someone to invite him to play, and the little guy left happily.
The twins were also very happy. From time to time they ran to the yard to admire the little snowman, imagining that when they grew up, they would build a big snowman as high as a house. This excitement lasted until Jing Heng was released from office and returned home.
Qin Xiaoxiao rarely told Jingheng about the fun stories of the three children playing around during the day. When she mentioned Gu Xici, her tone could not hide her pity: "This child knows etiquette and etiquette, and takes great care of Silent Noisy, like
You treat me like a real brother, not to mention August, I always ask about her first when I come back."
Jing Heng was teasing his two daughters when he heard this and frowned: "He is a boy, so you should not let him get too close to August."
Qin Xiaoxiao sounded uncomfortable: "Xici is not yet five years old, and we are only three months old in August. Isn't it too early for you to worry?"
Jing Heng snorted coldly: "You should know the difference between men and women at the age of four or five. When August reaches the age of four or five, this kid will be eight or nine years old. You and I met at this age."
