Chapter 164: Suffering a loss

Lu Yang didn't expect to receive such straightforward praise from Li Baisong.

The Li family's praise of him was a recognition of him, and Lu Yang couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Boss Li glanced over here and frowned. When had he ever praised this before?

Zhang Xiaosi and Zheng Qiaozi both looked at Li Baisong eagerly.

"I heard that Brother Shovel is very good at catching fish. Can you teach me someday when you have time?"

"You want to learn?" Zheng Qiaozi asked doubtfully.

Li Bosong nodded, "My husband likes to go out and eat wild game."

Zheng Qiaozi understood that the master wanted to eat fish, so he, as his disciple, fished for him and served him.

He had heard that he was the county magistrate's personal teacher and had to serve him well.

In other words, if Li Bosong used his skills to please that distinguished gentleman, wouldn't that be equivalent to him pleasing people?

Zheng Qiaozi cheered himself up, "I'll teach you. I'll definitely teach you everything. Do you know how to weave fish baskets? No problem, I can. I'll give you a few. If you break any, just come back and get them."

"Could you please teach me how to weave a fish basket?"

Zheng Qiaozi nodded and went to pound the garlic. "Teach, teach, teach. I'll teach you everything!"

Zhang Xiaosi quietly poked Lu Yang, "Second Brother Lu, why don't you show off your skills? The limelight is almost stolen by the shovel. I'm fine, I don't have any special skills anyway, but you are different, you have a lot of skills."

Lu Yang glanced at Zhang Xiaosi calmly and said calmly, "What skills are there? I'm just a farmhand now, learning how to farm."

Zhang Xiaosi got a cold shoulder and touched his nose awkwardly.

Lu Yang glanced at him again and said, "If we don't do this job, there are still many people who want to do it. They don't know the benefits of it now. In two months, you and the shovel will have grown bigger..."

There is no need to say everything. Those who can understand will naturally understand. No matter how much you say, it will be useless if those who can't understand.

After lunch, Li Laosan took Lu Yang, Zhang Xiaosi and Zheng Qiaozi to reinforce the chicken coop and blocked all the holes.

When the three of them went to the fields, Li Baisong took a group of children and drove the ducks with him.

The ducks were already familiar with the route, and as soon as they reached the ridge of the field, they immediately went into the rice field to look for food.

Lu Yang took Zhang Xiaosi to dig ditches, and Li Laosan took Zheng Qiaozi to pull out weeds in the rice fields.

In the morning, Li Laosan took Lu Yangba and asked Zhang Xiaosi and Zheng Qiaozi to dig ditches.

The three of them tried to pull out the weeds for several days but still couldn't tell them apart, so they had to rely on Li Laosan to help.

"Uncle, I want to go downstairs and take a shower." Dadaner requested.

Li Baisong grabbed Si Ya who was about to fall into the ditch and said, "Don't go. The fields have been draining water these days and the current is strong. If you get washed out, come back and you'll beat me up."

Dadan and Erdan looked at Li Baisong eagerly.

"Go back and dry two basins of water, and then go back in the evening and take a warm shower."

Dadaner immediately retracted his words about taking a shower, "Then we are not that dirty."

San Ya and Siya were walking one after the other on the ridge of the field. The two little girls were picking prickly ash seriously. Siya had just picked a bright red one and was happily putting it into her mouth.

Dadan rushed over and snatched the food from the tiger's mouth.

Xiao Si Ya ate one of her meals in vain and was stunned for a moment.

"Hahaha, fourth sister, I ate the prickly ash!"

In the past, when little Si Ya encountered such a situation, she would turn around and go to her father to complain.

Little Si Ya has grown up now.

The little girl glared angrily and pushed forward with her little hand. The proud big egg was caught off guard and fell into the ditch with a thud.

Water splashed, and little Si Ya wiped the water off her face, clapped her hands, and laughed out loud, imitating the proud look of Da Dan just now.

Li Baisong: “…”

This bath must be taken.

Dadaner got up by himself, looked at his uncle, and seeing that his uncle didn't seem angry, he rolled his eyes and scooped up some water and splashed it on Xiao Si Ya's face.

San Ya and Er Dan, who lived nearby, were innocently implicated.

Erdan jumped into the water and started a fierce water splashing competition.

Little Si Ya was so anxious that she wanted to jump down, but Li Baisong grabbed her and silently scooped a handful of mud from the rice field and handed it to her.

The children's smiles are brighter than the sun on this hot afternoon.

After the children had had enough fun, the dirty Li Baisong carried the dirty Siya on his back, followed by the other three dirty children, and ran home from the ridge of the field.

"Oh my God!" Yuan slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Uncle, you took them to roll around in the rice paddies! Mother, mother, come and see!"

"Please take care of your uncle. What if the children catch a cold? I'm so busy at home that I can't even use the pot. I still have to give you a bath. Oh, your clothes will be ruined."

Qin Fangci came out of the kitchen. Li Bosong put Si Ya down with a smile and said, "Mom, the children are having a great time."

"You made the mess, so clean it up for the children. Then make a bowl of ginger soup for them all." Qin Fangci went back to the kitchen after giving the instructions.

Yuan: “…”

Just so light and airy?

Shouldn't you say something?

Mother is still so partial to my younger brother.

"Third sister-in-law, you said mother..."

"Second sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, go and tell mother. Si Ya, come here, mother will take you into the house to clean it."

Yuan, if she dared to say it, she would have said it just now.

Dadan and Erdan wanted to sneak away from Yuan, but Yuan grabbed them one by one.

I dare not say anything about the old ones, and I dare not say anything about the young ones!

"Where are you going? Look how dirty you are. What if you catch a cold later?"

"Second sister-in-law, it's my fault for not taking good care of the children. Third sister-in-law and eldest sister-in-law, don't be angry. I'll go make them some ginger soup. I happened to bring some back this time. Drink a bowl of hot water and take a nap. Nothing will be wrong when you wake up tomorrow."

Li Baisong raised his voice deliberately so that Mrs. Du in the room could hear him.

"As for their clothes, when I earn money, I will buy them each a piece of cloth and make them two new suits of clothing."

Yuan's grumbling stopped and she smiled brightly, "Uncle, you don't have to be so polite. I'm just worried that they'll get bolder and go play in the ditch without an adult. If something bad happens to them, I'll cry my heart out."

Wang also nodded and poked Si Ya on the forehead.

Daya and Erya had already cleaned Sanya. Erya took Sanya into the house to change clothes, and Daya helped Aunt San to clean up Siya.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I've already told them about this. It was just an accident today. The kids fell in accidentally at first. I thought they were all wet, so I just let them have fun."

Dadan nodded repeatedly, and he felt embarrassed to say that he was pushed into the ditch by Si Ya, which was so embarrassing.

"It must be because you are so naughty that you stepped into it without looking at the road." Yuan followed suit and cursed.

Erdan lowered his head and said nothing. His uncle said that for the harmonious development, prosperity and progress of the family, it was okay for a man to suffer a little loss.
