"That’s true, I’ll definitely write a letter tomorrow." It’s better than freezing outside.
After dinner, everyone gathered around the heated bed to listen to the gala, a rare form of entertainment.
Wei Kaiyun sat on the bed, making ice monkeys for the two boys.
Shi Jing and Jianbin were so eager that they sat beside Wei Kaiyun, watching him carve the wood bit by bit.
Shang Zhenkun was making small whips for them; these ice monkeys needed to be whipped.
Only Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Feifei leaned against the pile of quilts on the side, listening to the radio.
At ten o’clock, Old Yang and Shang Zhenkun had finished making the whips, and Wei Kaiyun was close to finishing the first ice monkey.
"Alright, you guys go to sleep, tomorrow morning you will both have an ice monkey for sure."
Only then did the two children reluctantly go to sleep.
The mother and daughter also snuggled under the quilt and lay down.
Only Wei Kaiyun continued working hard; if he had sandpaper, he could have smoothed out the ice monkeys better.
By three in the middle of the night, the two ice monkeys were finally completed.
Although his arms were sore, Wei Kaiyun was happy. As a dad, making toys for his kids was something he’d never dared to imagine before.
After tidying up, he undressed and slipped into the bed with his wife, not needing to warm his own.
Jiang Xinyu shifted to find a comfortable position, without even opening her eyes, too tired.
Early the next morning, the first thing the two boys did was go to their parents’ room. By that time, they were already up.
Wei Kaiyun handed each of them one. "I don’t know how well they work, if there’s any issue, I’ll fix it for you when I come back."
The two ran off cheering, eager to test them outside. Although the snow in the yard was cleared, there was still an ice layer on the road outside.
After trying them, they didn’t find anything wrong and happily ran back home, ready to work out.
Having fulfilled their wish, they were exceptionally excited.
No classes today, and later the family had to visit the village chief’s house for New Year’s greetings.
Breakfast was pan-fried dumplings and rice porridge. After eating, Jiang Xinyu and Sister-in-law Liu wrapped New Year’s gifts, which were quite substantial.
Everything was wrapped in packing paper, and then Jiang Xinyu took the three children to the village chief’s house for New Year’s greetings.
Only the three men were left at home, sitting together talking about the children.
"Xiao Wei, Shi Jing must be cultivated seriously."
"Yes, with Master Shang around, I’m completely at ease."
"Xiao Wei, Shi Jing is a very good child, smart, quick-witted, and adaptable," Shang Zhenkun also gave a fair evaluation.
"Yes, having you educate them is their blessing."
"What are you planning for Feifei?"
"I don’t know about Feifei’s future, but I just think of letting nature take its course. As long as their outlook is correct, they won’t go the wrong way."
"Hehe, that’s also true."
Jiang Xinyu and her three children arrived at the village chief’s house bearing gifts. There were already many people in the house. Jiang Xinyu handed over the New Year’s gifts to the village chief’s wife.
"Sister-in-law, just a little token of our appreciation."
"It’s enough that you came, make sure to take these back when you leave."
"Sister-in-law, this is our family’s token of goodwill, please accept it."
The three children together wished Qu Xiaoli a happy New Year, "Auntie, happy New Year."
"Good, good, happy New Year, Auntie will give you peanuts, they’re all homegrown."
Qu Xiaoli filled the coat pockets of the three children with peanuts, ignoring their refusals.
"Sister-in-law, I’ll head back first. You must have many guests coming to greet you, we won’t impose."
"Not imposing at all, stay a while longer."
Jiang Xinyu shook her head with a smile, "No, we’re heading back."
Qu Xiaoli saw them out of the yard, happening upon Jiang Xinyu’s student’s family, who all respectfully greeted and wished Jiang Xinyu a happy New Year.
On the way, they met many people, even though it was cold, everyone was out and about on this day.
Returning home, Jiang Xinyu quickly got onto the heated bed, it’s warmer at home.
Now she’s afraid to move around freely, with ice all over outside except in their own yard. It’s best to stay put obediently.
"Wife, are you cold?"
"Cold, it’s really cold outside, the wind on the face feels like needles pricking."
Wei Kaiyun quickly took his wife’s hand, warming it for her.
"Now you don’t need to go out. But earlier, three of your students have already come to wish you a happy New Year."
"Hmm, I’ll just wait at home then, I’m a teacher now."
Indeed, the whole morning was busy, families bringing their kids over to wish Jiang Xinyu a happy New Year.
This feeling gave Jiang Xinyu a sense of pride, and the profession of teaching instantly gained more respect in her heart.
By nearly ten o’clock, fewer people came. People here have two meals a day, and at this time everyone is eating.
At home, they began to prepare food too, lunch was rice with fish, meat, and seafood.
The table was lavish. The whole family ate heartily. This kind of life was cherished by all of them.
After the meal, the two boys were eager to go out. This time Jiang Xinyu didn’t stop them but reminded them to come back no later than they did yesterday.
"Xiao Jiang, shouldn’t we go with them?" Old Yang asked, puzzled. Yesterday they were closely watched, why let them go on their own today?
"Master Yang, I think there’s a problem with my way of educating. I want to try and change. The kids are growing, and I can just supervise them."
"Hehe, Xiao Jiang is truly Xiao Jiang. I was worried for nothing."
Jiang Xinyu smiled embarrassedly. She indeed had some issues, but everyone was polite not to mention them.
The mother and daughter listened to the radio for a while and then took a nap.
Wei Kaiyun was making an ice cart for his daughter. He originally wanted to use iron sheets for the ice blades but didn’t have any, so had to use wood; it probably wouldn’t be as smooth on the ice as iron.
He also made two poles for his daughter, sanding them very smooth, afraid that any splinters might prick his daughter’s delicate hands.
When Jiang Feifei woke up and saw the ice cart, she didn’t really want to play but liked the thought. Really touched by her dad’s efforts.
"Feifei, do you want to go out and play? Uncle Yang is at home."
Seeing the expectant look on her dad’s face, Jiang Feifei nodded in agreement.
She couldn’t bear to refuse, had no choice but to go out once.
Old Yang took a piece of rope, carrying the ice cart, and they went out together.
Wei Kaiyun was worried Jiang Xinyu might be concerned about the two kids, having Old Yang join midway reassured her a lot.
Jiang Xinyu leaned close to Wei Kaiyun and kissed his cheek, knowing this man always thought of them, and she understood it was for her peace of mind.
