In the midst of eating and drinking, the days seem to pass especially quickly, and before you know it, it's already the 15th of the first month.

  Dabao is at home sighing and lamenting, feeling that the good days are always so short-lived, how can they not have enough fun yet it's already time to go back to school?!

  Xiaobao and Er Ya's lucky money had been handed over to their mother a long time ago, with Zhao Yu Zhen's reason being "You're still young and don't know how to use the money, so it's better to keep it with Mom".

  Dabao's lucky money was used up half, most of it was spent on firecrackers. When he handed over the remaining lucky money, he glanced at his sister Zhou Xiaoyun and thought that honest Dabao must not have dared to use a single piece.

  When he found out that Zhou Xiaoyun had spent all the money on things that seemed useless to him, his eyes widened in shock.

  It turns out that the seemingly honest and innocent sister is actually a master of spending money quietly. What's even more impressive is that her parents didn't scold her at all, but when I used only half of it, I got scolded, what's the logic?

  "Mom, I've only used half of it and you scolded me for half a day. Da Ya used up all the money, why didn't you scold her?"

  Zhao Yuzhen glared at Dabao: "Spending money and spending money are not the same, your money is all spent on that useless stuff, it's neither edible nor usable. Your sister is a good student who studies hard and makes progress, she buys things for practicing calligraphy. Your aunt said that it's great that kids want to practice calligraphy, parents should support and cultivate them, she even gave a big pile of newspapers to your sister to bring back for practice. Do you dare compare yourself with your sister?"

  Song Mingli praised her daughter's words, one by one, in a very formal tone, Zhao Yuzhen didn't quite understand, but she remembered "diligent and hardworking" firmly.

  Her own daughter could get such high praise from Song Mingli, Zhao Yuzhen felt unspeakable satisfaction. Her family was inferior to the other families in every way, except that they had more children and couldn't find anything else to be proud of compared to their brothers' families. Zhou Xiaoyun had fiercely fought for this mouthful of air. Letting Zhao Yuzhen proudly raise her head among Shen Huafeng, Zhou Fang and Song Mingli for a rare moment.

  So, it's not that Zhou Xiaoyun spent all her lucky money on "useful" things, even if she had spent a bit more, Zhao Yuzhen wouldn't have blamed her.

  Poor Da Bao kicked the iron plate and touched his nose to reflect on one side. The main content of his reflection is: How can Da Ya do everything well, but he does everything wrong?

  In less than a minute, Dabao was attracted by children playing "besieging the city" not far away.

  Sharp stones scratched out long marks on the ground, two large rectangles were "castles", surrounded by some narrow paths, with several large semicircles at the corners.

  The children are divided into two piles, each staying in their own "castle", with some guarding the castle at home and others going out to attack. The road to attack is very narrow and must be prevented from being attacked by the opponent at any time. As long as you are pushed or stepped on the line, it counts as "death" and you have to exit the game. So the game is extremely intense and interesting, with children constantly being pushed down unexpectedly.

  Fortunately it was winter and everyone was wearing thick down jackets so falling over wasn't painful, they just got up and cheered on the remaining people.

  The empty ground kept coming with shouts of "Watch out for someone pushing you from behind" and "Hurry up and go to the city", some people's voices were hoarse but they didn't know it, everyone was excited and flushed.

  The siege game can be played in all four seasons, regardless of gender or number of people - of course, the more people, the more lively and fun it is. Dabao likes to play this kind of game that relies on speed, agility and violence to win, and he rushed to join the side with fewer people early on.

  The side with fewer people was already on the verge of defeat, with only three children left, including two girls "defending the city", while the opposing side had five or six people who were charging in one after another, and it seemed that they would be breached at any moment.

  With the addition of Da Bao, the situation changed immediately. Da Bao stood alone at the crossroads, stubbornly resisting the attack, and the two smaller ones in front were easily knocked to the ground by Da Bao's force.

  The companions next to him applauded and cheered for Dabao, who found a sense of accomplishment and used all his might to compete with the people in front. In the end, he surprisingly won, and the children cheered.

  Zhou Xiaoyun also likes playing this game and is eager to participate.

  Dabao is afraid that his sister will be bullied, so he instructs her: "Da Ya, come over and stay by my side, follow me from behind, with me protecting you, don't be afraid."

  To be honest, Da Bao has always been good to her. No matter how many shortcomings he has, he is a good brother who loves and takes care of his sister. Zhou Xiaoyun felt a surge of emotion in her heart and loudly agreed with Da Bao as she walked over to his side.

  The kids playing together are all from the same village and know each other well, Zhou Zhihai and Zhou Xiaoxia are among them, Feng Tiezhu and Wang Jingjing also want to follow Dabao Zhou Xiaoyun, the people on both sides differ by one or two who don't care about anything, each takes their own place, and continues playing.

  Dabao is the main player of "attack the city", he is tall and strong, with long legs running fast, few can be his opponent, in a short while he ran to the opponent's attack road.

  However, others on this side were not so lucky. Wang Jingjing and Zhou Xiaoxia were pushed out early, Zhou Zhihai struggled for two more minutes before being "sacrificed", while Feng Tiezhu was too fat to run fast, but fortunately, others couldn't push him either.

  Zhou Xiaoyun was the most cunning, steadily staying in the semi-circular "safe fortress", according to the game rules, as long as he ran into such a "fortress" and didn't come out, he would not be attacked and was absolutely safe.

  She took advantage of the opponent's inattention and ran from this "fortress" to another, never staying in between to give the opponent a chance to push her away. Before long, she was together with Da Bao again.

  "Da Bao whispered: 'Da Ya, there are four people left in the enemy's city. Three of them are women and definitely not very strong. In a moment, I'll charge forward from inside, you just push me forward from behind, got it?'"

  Playing games is a real authority for Dabao, and Zhou Xiaoyun agreed. Following Dabao's strategy, the two siblings took a deep breath and attacked the opponent's castle.

  Yeah! The winning side cheered up.

  Zhou Xiaoyun's small face was flushed and sweaty, and she also jumped up, finding the long-lost childhood joy.
