Crap! I will definitely be scolded by my mother when I go back!

Just scold me, anyway, it's not the first time I've been scolded by my mother!

The two brothers and sisters exchanged glances silently, and couldn't help laughing. Then get up and pat your butt, continue.

When Lu Zhong heard the news, he came up to watch. Seeing the distressed appearance of the brothers and sisters, he couldn't help but helplessly laugh. He knew that he shouldn't be soft-hearted. This time, the brothers and sisters were not the only ones being scolded!

My father and I played for a long time and caught a lot of loaches before leaving the rice field and preparing to go home.

"Come on, wash in the ditch, look at the mud all over!" Lu Zhong led Lu Xiaoshu to greet Lu Qi, and led them down to the side ditch to wash their hands and feet.

The water in the canal was cool and clean. Lu Zhong carefully helped his daughter scrub it bit by bit, and quickly washed off the mud all over her body. After that, he squatted on the ground with her in his arms, and wiped her feet with his own robe. Put on the shoes for her. Lu Xiaoshu leaned on his father's body, feeling a warmth in his heart. In her heart, she already regarded these two parents as her own parents.

Anyway, she was a time-traveler, so she's not actually the daughter of those biological parents, is she? If she used to think about them from time to time, hoping that one day they would suddenly appear in front of her and take her away, but now, she has no such thoughts at all.

Sure enough, as no one expected, when the masters returned home, Miao Cuilan grimaced when she saw the mud on the two clothes, and even Lu Zhong couldn't help complaining for a while. . Only Xiaoxue sat obediently on the edge of the kang with her two calves hanging, holding her favorite puppet in her arms, quietly watching her brother, second sister and father being scolded.

But for the three scolded, except for Lu Zhong who laughed to please him, the two younger ones all looked honest and educated, so it was unknown what they were thinking.

The loaches I caught with my own hands, as well as the small fish caught in the canal, looked different from those I caught with my own hands. Lu Xiaoshu and Lu Qi looked at the little things that were wandering happily in the bucket, and thought They were about to be put into the frying pan, and the siblings looked at each other, feeling a little unbearable.

"How about we raise them?" Lu Qi looked at her and said.

Lu Xiaoshu was in the middle of his heart, and nodded "hmm" quickly.

But Miao Cuilan said in a bad mood: "What are you doing? Don't raise it! It's so dirty! It gets thinner and thinner in the bucket, and it dirty the bucket! I said you are too picky, how can you make all the bad things?" idea!"

Loach is not a rare thing. The fat ones are caught and fried or fried with chili to eat, and the thin ones are thrown on the ground for chickens to eat. Who would raise them!

The two brothers and sisters knew that their mother was killing and decisively making no sense, so Lu Xiaoshu ran to pull his father's skirt and act like a spoiled child. Lu Zhong had no choice but to sigh: "Okay, let's raise it! Dad will find you an old wooden one. Bucket! But you can’t keep so many, just pick a few and keep them, okay?”

Lu Qi and Lu Xiaoshu thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Lu Zhong went to the utility room in the backyard and rummaged for a while, and finally found a clumsy wooden barrel full of dust.

The Lu family disliked the clumsiness of wooden barrels and they had long since given up on them. The barrels at home were all made of tin or tin, and the pots were all tin pots. Some of the old wooden barrels eliminated in the early years have already been chopped and burned, and some Miao Cuilan was reluctant to destroy them when she saw that they were still in good condition. She thought they might be useful in the future, so she piled them up in the utility room with. Unexpectedly, today it really came in handy.

When Miao Cuilan saw Lu Zhong leading the two daughters and one son cleaning the wooden barrels by the small ditch behind the yard, she felt depressed for a while, and said angrily, "You really are going back from living, so you can mess around with them! Sooner or later, these guys will ask you to pamper you!"

Lu Zhong hurriedly smiled and said: "Isn't it just raising a loach, a child, isn't it normal to raise a small thing, look at what you are making a fuss about." Lu Zhong said to the three little ones: "From now on, you But you have to listen to what your mother says, and you can't make your mother angry, you know?"

The three little ones nodded quickly and answered, "I know!" Lu Xiaoshu got up, stepped on his calves to please his mother, and ran over to hug his mother's thigh, and said softly, "Mother is the best, I listen to mother's words the most! "

Miao Cuilan couldn't help but "sneer", rubbed her little head and said angrily: "You, you are the most troublesome! The small mouth is so sweet! Okay, okay, go, don't delay me work!"

Lu Xiaoshu stuck out his tongue, let go with an "oh" and turned back.

Looking at the canal water flowing around the yard, Lu Xiaoshu unconsciously said, "Father, why don't we dig a small pond? We can catch a lot of fish and loaches to raise them, so it's convenient to eat them whenever we want!" "

"Okay, okay! Second Sister is right!" Lu Qi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help clapping his hands.

Lu Zhong laughed, and said: "Your mother is right, you are the most troublesome one! Nothing else, it's really important to have such a messy idea!"

Lu Xiaoshu said unconvinced: "My brother also said that!" I'm not alone.

You will drag people into the water! Lu Zhong felt even more amused.

Lu Xiaoshu knew that his father was always the best at talking, and he and Lu Qi were in a daze, Xiaoxue also yelled together when he saw this, Lu Zhong really sighed and surrendered.

The little ones cheered unconsciously. The next day, when Mr. Wu came to visit, he saw Lu Zhong digging a pond in the back of the yard, and the three little dolls were busy helping to make trouble.

"What is this?" Mr. Wu asked with a surprised smile. Lu Qi was a little scared when he saw Mr. Wu, and subconsciously shrank back.

Xiao Shu enthusiastically said, "Dig a pond and raise fish!"

"Fish farming?" Mr. Wu laughed loudly, and said, "I said brother Lu Xian, you are really interested."

"The right is to store water, the children like to play." Lu Zhong smiled with a good temper.

Mr. Wu chuckled, "The brothers and sisters of Weidao complained, you are a father, you really dote on them!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiaoshu glanced at Mr. Wu with some displeasure, thinking that he would not be so provocative!

But Mr. Wu nodded again and said: "This idea is actually not bad. It would be a pity if you can't finish eating the fish after catching them. You can introduce running water here, so it's convenient to eat and take as you like. Hehe, then you should be busy first. Let me know when the pond is dug, let's go fishing together!"

"Okay, I won't greet you when I'm busy here!" Lu Zhong nodded with a smile.

When Lu Qi, Lu Xiaoshu and others heard this, their eyes lit up again, and they pestered their father to take them to go fishing together.

There is a huge river next to Fengye Village. The narrowest part of the water is 20 to 30 meters wide. It's dangerous to say, the villagers are very strict with their children and don't allow them to enter the water. Naturally, Lu Zhong was no exception, and he graciously refused this request.

Lu Qi and Lu Xiaoshu knew that if their father said no, they really did not agree, so the brothers and sisters had no choice but to give up resentfully. Lu Xiaoshu was still not reconciled, so he said: "Father, father, will you take me there when I grow up?"

"Okay, Dad will take you there when you grow up!" Lu Zhong smiled.

"Father, dad, I've grown up, why don't you take me there!" Lu Qi said immediately.

"You'd better stay at home with your sister! Be obedient." Lu Zhong said again.

Lu Qi wanted to say something else, but when he thought of Mr. Wu, he stopped with an "oh". Lu Xiaoshu's eyes lit up and he suddenly understood, thinking to himself that I'm such a fool, why would daddy take me there when I grow up? I won't go by myself...

Seems like a lot of fun, I haven't played it in my previous life! Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help looking forward to growing up quickly.

It's another summer day, Lu Zhong and Miao Cuilan set this day as Lu Xiaoshu's birthday. Although Miao Cuilan insisted at the time that the child told her about her life experience as soon as she was sensible, she never did so.

It was raining patteringly outside, and strings of continuous streams of water flowed down from the eaves, like a water curtain. Three-year-old Lu Xiaoshu was standing under the eaves of the corridor leaning against the wall, his little face was full of unhappiness.

She managed to get her dad and Mr. Wu to agree to take her up and down the mountain to catch pheasants and partridges on her birthday, but who would have thought that the rain would last all day at once, how embarrassing!

As night fell, Lu Xiaoshu became more and more unhappy.

Xiaoxue stood with her under the eaves, pulled her arm and said in a soft voice: "Second Sister, let's go inside, it's a bit cold outside! Mom is going to make dinner, and Mom said today is your birthday , made a lot of delicious food!"

"I don't want to go in!" Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips.

"Don't be unhappy," Xiaoxue said again: "I'll ask Dad to take you up the mountain after a few days, er, it's the same anyway!" It's not easy to walk, won't you be tired climbing the mountain? Moreover, there are a lot of weird insects, and there will be snakes if you don't pay attention... Father said, snakes can bite people, it's very scary...

"No way!" Lu Xiaoshu said regretfully, "It will be invalid after today, Mr. Wu is so cunning that he won't agree to take me there again!"

Although Mr. Wu is a teacher, he claims that "a gentleman learns the six arts". Moreover, he would set up all kinds of tricks and set up various small traps to catch small animals and birds in the mountains and forests, and often asked Lu Zhong to go with him as a companion. Because he lived alone, he brought game to Lu's house for Miao Cuilan to deal with, so he was too lazy to do it himself. Needless to say, Lu Qi already had a good time. In the past two years, Xiaoshu and Xiaoxue have eaten a lot of wild game, including pheasants, no-ma chickens, wild pigeons, partridges, stone frogs, mountain otters, hares and so on. Goats will also be hunted. Needless to say, there are all kinds of fish and shrimp in the river. Mr. Wu seemed to be able to figure out where and when the best time to attack was the best, and he never failed. Even the three-meter-square pond in the Lu family was full of fish.
