"Well, I found out!"
A sharp, high voice came in from outside the kitchen window, and it was our old man with long eyelashes. As the saying goes: "Big fool, two good, three crooked." "She's always more famous than anyone else.
This scream caused a reaction, and the sleeping boss, the second oldest eating snacks, and even the toddler fourth, all ran to the kitchen.
As I was washing my face, I couldn't help but look out the window, only to see four heads in a pile, looking around at something.
Ah, oops! I remembered, that's where the dustpans were placed, last night..."Look! Still the crooked girl's voice, "What is this?" Orange peels, peanut peels, and..."
"Chen Pimei's core!" The boss said.
"Paper wrapped in shortening!" The second said.
Then four small faces lifted up at me. The one with the long eyelashes squeezed his eyes hard, tilted his head, and said with a questioning tone: "Tell the truth!" ”
I looked at my husband, who was shaving, and smiled helplessly. My reasoning has not yet been made up, and another voice is crisp: "Loss! ”
Nothing to say, in the end we finally got it right, with a movie to compensate for our mistake of stealing food last night.
For stealing food is the most serious crime of deception we commit in the presence of our children.
We like to eat a little after the kids go to bed, no one grabs, no unequal distribution disputes.

In the quiet night, while we were reading books and newspapers, we peeled the loess soil of Shilin and fried peanuts, like the sound of rats flipping peanut shells in the paper basket in the middle of the night.
We stuffed the shells into the glass ashtray on the small table and left them for the next day to be dumped. But the next day the problem came, and the group got up early, and before the servants had cleaned up, they found an ashtray stuffed with garbage.
"Where did the peanut peel come from?" I was questioned, and in a hurry I took a blind word to prevaricate: "Uncle Wang came, brought his family treasure, of course to buy something... Give him something to eat! "I spit as soon as I say something nonsense.
But Uncle Wang didn't bring Dabao every day, and our nonsense was exposed, so the children guarded against us stealing food.
They check the ashtrays and paper baskets every morning. We had to do some extermination work after stealing food.
"I must wait," we once prepared to go to the evening movie, and while putting on our shoes, we heard the second brother say to the third elder, "they will definitely bring something back to steal food." ”
"I must not sleep!" The third elder also made up his mind.
This night we did not forget the two children who swore to wait, and deliberately bought a few more pieces of bubble gum. But when I entered the door, I didn't hear the cheers, and I was sorry to see!
A pair of difficult sisters actually sat together on a sofa and fell asleep! Two small bodies were wrapped in one of my coats, cold and shrunken into a ball.
On the small chalkboard hanging on the wall were written a few chalk words: "We must wait for our mother to buy something to eat." "I also pay attention to the phonetic marks next to it!"
Carrying them to bed, I tried to shout softly, "Hey, wake up, the sugar is back!" The four eyes tried to open, but all of a sudden they closed again, and they were too sleepy.
Are small children really so good at cheating? At least our kids aren't.
The next morning, when they found the candy left for them by the pillow, they shouted "strange" with joy, and they forgot how they went back to bed without waiting for their mother.
But that didn't lessen our enthusiasm for the extermination work, and when the ashtray and the paper basket failed, I cleverly thought of the dustpan outside the kitchen. Who wants to be "everyone who gets the booty"!
It is not easy to talk about the conditions, they shout very high prices, a movie, an orange, a piece of bubble gum, after watching the movie, you have to eat sixi soup dumplings. Until the end, there is only one movie left, which is very difficult to talk about.
At this time, my mother would scold me: "I am not like this!" "She always thinks I can't take care of the kids, and I admit it. But when my mother said this, she completely forgot that she herself had a few naughty girls!
I really don't care about children, and my serious face is often broken by my lack of seriousness. In this situation, it seems that my second eldest can give me the most explanation.
The anger came up and couldn't be contained, and the little face after being scolded by me was stupid. Venting is the most painful, in the small house, many people, miscellaneous of our living environment, children sometimes make some less important mistakes, but also can't help but make people angry, in fact, just want to vent.
The anger subsided, the anger was still hanging on the face, and we were stretching our faces. But the way the children were scolded was really gimmicky.
I tried to suppress the almost wild laugh that was about to come out, and turned my head not to look at them; or covered my face with a piece of newspaper and immediately released my pouting lips. At this time, I would hear the voice of the second elder, and she said softly to the third elder, "Mother wants to laugh!" ”
Sure enough, I couldn't help but laugh, and the children probably wanted to laugh for a long time. We laughed as if we were watching a funny movie.
I used to call my children three ugly ducklings, but that title didn't fit last year after eight years because we had a fourth.
I gently drew her little red face with my index finger, and my heart was full of happiness. Looking at this little flesh that had split out of my body, she gave me many of the mysterious and mysterious feelings of life, so I put my arms around my baby all day, kissing and mumbling constantly.
My friend in Beiping scolded me in an envious tone: "Look, how stupid it hurts to hurt a child!" "There are many happy things in life, but there is nothing happier than being the mother of a newborn baby.
I am a happy woman, our home has always been full of comedic atmosphere, at any time there is a possibility of making people laugh, so god gave me four ducks, it makes sense!
