Chapter 96: Cheat him, have fun
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Lu Xingchen tightened his fingertips slightly, gently tapped Jiang Zhizhi's little nose, and then put his hand down.
The two of them stepped back a little.
At the moment they stood still, Jiang Yuanyang appeared in front of them.
"What are you doing?!"
Jiang Zhizhi pointed to the small stool in the main hall and said, "I want to move a small stool for you to sit on. Won't your legs and feet get numb from squatting all the time?"
Lu Xingchen smiled, looking like a nonchalant bastard, giving people a bad and ruffian feeling.
"Sister, come on, come on, this guy is not a good person. You will learn bad things from him! Come and play outside with the third brother."
Jiang Yuanyang grabbed Jiang Zhizhi's wrist and hurriedly took him away.
After a moment, Lu Xingchen rubbed his fingertips and followed out slowly.
I could vaguely hear Jiang Yuanshan asking, "What did you just see?"
"No, no, I just cheated him casually." Jiang Yuanyang laughed.
"And with us here, how could he dare to bully Zhizhi?"
"Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by the three of us?"
Jiang Yuanshan nodded.
Jiang Yuanfeng glanced at Lu Xingchen thoughtfully.
......
noon.
The aroma of meat came from Xu Chaoping's house. Ling Xiaohui wiped the dining table clean and brought out the food with Xu Chaoping.
"Everyone, come and have dinner. Dabao, Xiaobao, quickly call your brothers and sisters to come and have dinner."
"Big brothers, Sister Zhizhi, it's time to eat."
"Here I come."
We sat down together, chatting and laughing about the interesting things that happened in the mountains today.
The red-braised rabbit meat is rich in flavor and umami.
Another dish is stewed chicken with hazel mushrooms. The chicken is tender and juicy, and it tastes absolutely amazing when paired with rice and steamed buns.
Ling Xiaohui picked the hazel mushrooms when she went up the mountain, and then placed them on the bamboo sieve in the yard to dry. As the weather was good, she also dried some shepherd's purse to eat during the cat winter.
Xujia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and everyone goes to dig wild vegetables whenever they have time. The wild vegetables they eat now are dug by Dabao himself in a small basket on the mountain, and they taste very fresh.
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but eat a few more bites, it was so delicious!
She couldn't help but praise Dabao and Xiaobao several times, and the two little babies had bright smiles on their faces.
"Since my sister likes to eat it, I will go dig some in the afternoon!" Dabao's eyes were bright and he was very positive.
"Xiaobao will go too!" Xiaobao raised her little hand and looked at Dabao anxiously, fearing that Dabao would go without her.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Thank you, Dabao and Xiaobao, but in the afternoon, I would rather go to the beach with you guys to catch some sea water."
Dabao slowly widened his eyes, opened his mouth into a "0" shape, and looked at his father and mother in disbelief.
Xu Chaoping nodded heavily, "Let's go to the sea together this afternoon, our whole family will go!"
At the same time, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart. It was indeed his fault all these years. He neglected the growth of his two children and missed so much, especially the most precious things to him.
Xu Chaoping turned his head and glanced at Ling Xiaohui, his big hands shaking under the table.
Ling Xiaohui only needed to look at her husband once to know what he was thinking at that moment.
All the suffering she had endured in the past was for the sake of maintaining this family; she didn't want this family to break up.
In a sense, the husband was not wrong. He did not want to get hurt, and he also wanted to work harder in the army, earn more salary and send it back so that she and the children could live a better life.
It's just that he was in the army and seldom came back to visit his family, so he didn't understand how difficult it was for her in the Xu family.
Dabao and Xiaobao were so happy that they didn't know what to do and made everyone laugh.
Look, how cute and beautiful the children look when they are confident!
When they first arrived, Dabao was like a wolf cub, constantly circling around his mother and sister, looking like a protective wolf. Xiaobao was timid and just hid behind his mother.
Lu Xingchen gave the two children a big chicken drumstick and said, "Eat more meat, kids. They will grow taller and bigger quickly."
Dabao and Xiaobao got two big chicken legs. They were so excited that they ran around the yard for a few laps before coming back because they had never eaten chicken legs before.
After eating, the two children took a break and took a nap.
Lu Xingchen and Xu Chaoping were chopping wood in the yard. Lu Xingchen was very skilled at this job. After all, when he was in the army, he was often ordered around by Old Deng, the head of the kitchen squad.
Want to eat more meat? Help chop some wood first!
However, Lu Xingchen looked at the amount of firewood in the Xu family.
It is better to store more firewood before winter.
afternoon.
A group of people took their fishing tools and ran straight to the beach to play.
Jiang Zhizhi was excited throughout the whole process. The unpolluted nature was so beautiful.
When she was a child, she could look up at the stars and count them one by one. The sky was full of twinkling stars hanging in the night sky, and the whole night sky looked really beautiful.
Jiang Zhizhi was in a good mood. He took a deep breath of the natural air and looked around.
The blue sky and the sea are connected into a line. Under the sunshine, the sea surface is coated with a layer of faint golden light. The sea water surges with the sea breeze, creating waves one after another.
The picture was clean and beautiful. Jiang Zhizhi couldn't wait to record this beauty, draw this scene, and put it in the comic book "Little Soldier's Big Adventure".
Let the comic book readers also feel the beauty of nature.
Jiang Yuanfeng said in surprise: "The tide has receded. What a coincidence! Look here, the reef is full of oysters, and there are so many clams next to them."
"Hand on the hammer! Hand on the hammer! Hammer the oysters!"
Dabao and Xiaobao came running over happily with hammers in their hands.
Jiang Yuanshan put down the bucket in his hand, picked up the rake, and went looking for crabs.
After a while, Jiang Yuanshan's proud voice was heard.
"Big crab, big crab, the way you hide is really interesting. Why do you show your butt but hide your head?"
"Zhizhi, come to my place to catch crabs!"
Jiang Yuanshan usually doesn't show his emotions so much. Jiang Zhizhi came running over with a bucket in his hand.
The two of them squatted on the ground, catching crabs with a grunt.
"Hey, this crab is really big, but it has eggs in its belly. Never mind, I'll let you go and put you back into the nest. After you give birth to baby crabs, we'll catch you next time if we have the chance." Jiang Yuanshan said, and stuffed the female crab back into the sea mud.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled brightly. In fact, her elder brother was a good young man with a cold appearance but a warm heart.
On the other side, where the tide is out, the ground is full of clams, and it looks densely packed.
Jiang Yuanfeng laughed out loud, unable to control his boasting: "Sister, come over here, brother! The oysters here are especially plump!"
Jiang Zhizhi accompanied his eldest brother for a while, then came over to share the spoils with his second brother.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Jiang Yuanfeng cracked open the oyster and exclaimed: "Such a small oyster, but the meat is so fat! If you put some chili and minced garlic in it, it will be so delicious."
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "This thing is worthy of being a gas station for men and a beauty salon for women."
"Not only garlic chili oysters, but also garlic vermicelli scallops are my favorite."
"Oh my god, there's a big conch here,"
Suddenly, the three brothers nearby couldn't help but blush when they heard their sister utter a golden sentence.
Although they don't know what a beauty salon is, but a gas station...Ahhhh, someone come and cover my sister's mouth!
Even Lu Xingchen couldn't help but stroke the cigarette box in his pocket. This little girl... is so fierce.
