Chapter 256 Xiao Lin is a little weak
Not to mention the five-year-old brothers Shen August and Shen Shiqi, even Father Shen, who has lived for decades and most of his life, has never seen such exquisite gadgets.
People tend to be afraid of large objects, but are inexplicably attracted to small and compact things.
Looking at the small table, stool, bed and cabinet inside the pink cabinet, Father Shen also moved closer.
Zhang Chunnuan explained: "This one is called a doll house."
As she spoke, she took the doll in her hand from the small bed on the top floor of the doll house and showed it to everyone.
"A doll's house is a doll's house. August can give the baby a name, and then..."
Zhang Chunnuan placed the doll on a chair in the dollhouse dining room and continued: "It can eat at home," then picked it up and put it back on the bed, "to sleep."
Well, the fact is that you can't expect someone who has never played with a dollhouse to teach others how to play.
Zhang Chunnuan smiled coquettishly, and suddenly thought of something. He took off the doll again and lifted up the small skirt on it. "Look, the skirt of this doll can be taken off, and you can also make small clothes for it to wear."
Originally, she planned to make a few more small clothes in the workshop and give them to Shen August, so that her daughter could enjoy the fun of dressing up while playing dress-up.
But then she thought about it and thought it would be better to let the little girl make clothes for the doll by herself.
On the one hand, I can teach August how to needle and thread, and on the other hand, I can test whether she has talent in fashion design.
If the child is truly gifted, he or she will have an extra path to follow.
After introducing how to play the doll house, Zhang Chunnuan ignored the others and returned to the kitchen to continue working on the earthen stove version of the birthday cake.
One hour passed, two hours passed...
It wasn't until she poured the prepared cake batter into a small oiled flat-bottomed wooden basin, put it into the steamer, and walked out of the kitchen that she saw Father Shen and Wang Xinyu coming out of the main room.
Wang Xinyu looked at the sun that was already high in the middle of the sky, and hurriedly threw the clothes that had been soaked all morning in the basin and ran away.
Father Shen was sitting on the bench at the door of the utility room, looking thoughtful.
Just when Zhang Chunnuan wanted to ask out loud, Mr. Zhou and Xiao Lin, who had gone for a walk in the village, came back.
Seeing Xiao Lin, Zhang Chunnuan's attention was no longer on Father Shen.
She waved to Xiao Lin with a smile and led him to the door of her room first. Without waiting for the other party to ask questions, she pointed to the wooden board and doll house where the twins were sitting and said:
"Xiao Lin, sister-in-law, please help me move that board and cabinet to Xiao Yu'er and August's room, do you think so?"
If there is no one at home, she can of course use the farm to transfer the doll house to her daughters' room, but who said there are people everywhere in the house now?
Xiao Lin estimated the size of the dollhouse with his eyes, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will move it now?"
He cast a questioning look at the twins sitting cross-legged opposite each other.
Do we have to move the children with us?
Zhang Chunnuan smiled at him and said to the brother and sister who were so obsessed with the dollhouse that they didn't even look up at their own mother:
"You two, stop playing. Let Uncle Xiaolin help you move back to your room and play as you please."
The couple's room was not suitable for children to stay in for too long. If the little kid found something strange, she would have to cover it up and explain it.
Shen August didn't seem to hear Zhang Chunnuan's words and didn't react at all. However, Shen Shiqi heard it and pulled his sister up from the board and walked aside.
"Xiao Lin, please trouble you." Zhang Chunnuan gave his son a look of praise.
"No trouble." Xiao Lin walked to the front of the doll house, bent down, hugged the cabinet with both hands, and lifted up——
Not up?!
Zhang Chunnuan slapped her forehead when she saw this. She almost forgot that this dollhouse was made of the same wood as the wooden tricycle given to Shen Qi.
The wood is hard and carefully crafted in a processing workshop, so it is not light in weight.
Seeing that Xiao Lin was suppressing his blush and wanted to try it a second time, she put her fist to her lips and coughed twice, suppressing a smile and said: "This thing is not light, how about we carry it together?"
In fact, if her big belly hadn't hindered her, she wouldn't have had to ask for help. She could have carried the dollhouse around by herself.
Xiao Lin scratched his head and said sheepishly: "It's a little heavy."
"Well..." Zhang Chunnuan could hardly hold back the smile on his face, and quickly used instructions to divert his attention, "You take the left side, and I'll hold the right side. Let's try it first."
The two of them took their places. When they lifted it up, the right side was raised high and the small furniture in the dollhouse slid to the left side.
Shen August screamed and rushed over, but was grabbed by Zhang Chunnuan's free hand and coaxed: "You and your brother will rearrange the doll together later. Don't make trouble. I don't have time to talk to you now."
After speaking, she looked at Xiao Lin and said, "Let's go."
The two of them carried the dollhouse up and down to Wang Xinyu and Xiao Yuer's room. When they saw the lock on the door, they said to the twins who were following them step by step:
"You two go to sister to get the key, and tell mom and uncle Xiaolin that they want to put the dollhouse in..."
At this point, she pondered for a moment and added: "It's better to call your sisters together. After all, this is her and August's room."
Because there were two unmarried men, Tan Zhengping and Xiao Lin, coming in and out of the house, and Wang Xinyu had grown up, Zhang Chunnuan gave her a lock and asked her to lock the door when she left the room.
Zhang Chunnuan also has the key, but he just left it in the room. He forgot to bring it with him just now, and it is not convenient to go back and get it now.
Shen Shiqi ran very fast on his legs and pulled Wang Xinyu over in less than a minute.
Opening the door, Zhang Chunnuan looked around and saw that the room was clean and tidy and the furniture was neatly arranged. He couldn't help but nod.
Girls love to be clean. Thinking of the mess in the mistress’s room...
The brat is so filthy, I will definitely ask him to do the cleaning alone after church!
After setting up the doll house, Zhang Chunnuan thanked Xiao Lin and called Wang Xinyu out of the main room.
When she came to the yard, she saw that the washed clothes had been hung to dry on the bamboo poles. She patted Wang Xinyu on the shoulder and said softly:
"Thank you for your hard work. You don't need to wash the rest. Just wait until your uncle is finished and let him wash it."
Wang Xinyu responded, looked at the sky, and said, "Mistress, is it time for lunch?"
Speaking of lunch, Zhang Chunnuan was startled, thinking of the cake steaming on the kitchen stove, "It's broken! There is something steaming on my stove! It won't be burnt!"
The two of them quickly ran into the kitchen and opened the steamer lid.
What a risk!
Wang Xinyu put the lid back on and planned to light another burner to make lunch.
While lighting the fire, she asked: "What will you eat for lunch today?"
Zhang Chunnuan looked around after hearing this, then walked to the cabinet where cereals and dried fruits were kept and took out a bag of walnuts.
"Anything else is optional, but I must make a pot of stewed eggs with walnut kernels!"
"Huh?" Wang Xinyu raised a puzzled face.
Aren’t you afraid of the smell of eggs anymore?
