Chapter 67 Snowball Fight
Chapter 67 Snowball Fight
As dawn broke, Zehao stepped out of his new house and saw light snowflakes drifting down from the sky, like countless silver flakes adorning the earth, pure and white.
"Zehao, look, it's snowing," Yan Junyi said, reaching out to catch snowflakes.
Zehao and Yan Junyi make breakfast every morning.
"I saw it. Keep your voice down, or you'll wake Weiwei and the babies," Zehao said.
"Yes, yes, keep your voice down. Should we cook noodles or meat porridge now?"
"Let's cook porridge! Move all the firewood from that corner to the kitchen," Zehao said, and went to cook the porridge.
After Yan Junyi finished moving the firewood, he sat down to help start a fire. Before long, the fire was blazing.
Zehao poured the washed rice into the stone pot and gently stirred it with a wooden spoon.
"The snow came a bit early this year, but thankfully, we just finished harvesting the stone fruit a few days ago," Yan Junyi said softly.
“Yes, the fields will be more fertile after the snow, and we will have a bumper harvest of stone fruit next year. Go to the storage cave and get some bones and meat, and bring some stone fruit over. I want to make some stone fruit soup. It’s cold, so I’ll drink some soup to warm myself up,” Zehao said.
"Okay," he said, then tossed in two more pieces of firewood.
Yan Junyi went to the storage cave, took out bones and meat, and some stone fruits. Carrying these things, he returned to the kitchen.
Zehao took the ingredients and put the lean meat into the pot. Soon, the aroma of meat porridge filled the air.
"Wow, it smells so good! It's cold outside, so everything tastes delicious," Yan Junyi couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's not that the food tastes better because of the cold weather, it's just that you're hungry," Zehao said with a smile.
Just then, Zexinyi and her three older brothers walked into the kitchen, rubbing their eyes.
"Second Father, Fifth Father, what delicious food are you making?" Ze Xinyi asked curiously.
"Meat porridge and stone fruit soup, but the stone fruit soup will have to wait a bit. It's snowing outside, aren't you cold?" Zehao said gently.
The four children shook their heads in unison and said, "It's not cold, Second Father. We want to eat in the yard and watch the snow while we eat."
Zehao chuckled. "You'll have to ask your father. He has to give his permission. Is he awake yet?"
"Father is awake and looking at my younger siblings. They're all awake. Brothers, let's go ask Father," Ze Xinyi said to her three older brothers.
When the weather gets cold, both the females and cubs transform into animal forms, which are covered in fur for warmth.
"Father, it's snowing outside. We'd like to eat in the yard while looking at the snow, is that alright?" Ze Xinyi said happily to Ze Xuan.
Looking at the children's longing eyes, Ze Xuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, but if you feel cold, come inside, okay?"
With their father's permission, the children cheered excitedly, "We know, we know!"
Zehao and Yan Junyi carried the food to the low table in the yard. The four little ones sat together as snowflakes drifted down. Finally, the four little ones got to eat while watching the snowflakes fall, each with a beaming smile, nodding occasionally. We didn't know what they meant; the world of little ones is beyond our comprehension.
Lin Weiwei woke up at nine o'clock. After breakfast, she saw that Ze Xinyi and the others hadn't gone out to play, but were playing in the snow with the eight little ones in the yard.
"My little ones, Mommy will teach you how to have a snowball fight."
"Xinyi, Zeyuan, Zemo, Zejin, and Zexuan, come here and team up with me."
"Eight little ones, Zehao, Junyi, and Yeying, you're in one team. We'll split into two teams," Lin Weiwei said, bending down to scoop up a pile of snow, forcefully rolling it into a small ball, and throwing it at Yeying.
"Alright! Wei'er, you wait," Ye Ying said with a smile to Lin Weiwei, and also rolled up a small ball and threw it at Lin Weiwei, just like a scene from their childhood.
Everyone quickly rolled up small snowballs and started a snowball fight. Snowballs flew through the air, going back and forth, creating a lively scene! The four little ones also scooped up a pile of snow, rolled it into a snowball, and then threw it at the eight little ones. The eight little ones nimbly dodged it, while also retaliating fiercely. Snowballs hit them, splashing up snowflakes, but no one seemed to care, still immersed in the joyful atmosphere. The children ran and played freely in the snow, their laughter and shouts echoing across the snow, everyone fully enjoying the joy of this snowy day.
After an unknown amount of time, the little ones were panting heavily, but their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.
Ye Ying hugged Lin Weiwei from behind and said, "Wei'er, you hit me the most. You always pick on me. You've been hitting me since we were little. You just know how to bully me." After saying that, he kissed Lin Weiwei on the cheek. He said those words, but he was secretly overjoyed. He loved it when Lin Weiwei bullied him.
"Hahaha, yes, I'll pick you to smash. I've been smashing you since you were little, I'm used to it. If I don't smash you, who will I smash?" After saying that, she let Ye Ying hug her.
Zexuan, Zehao, and Yan Junyi watched Yeying and Lin Weiwei playfully bickering with envy...
