Chapter 262
Ningning stared at the lively fish with eyes wide open, looking at them in amazement, and couldn't help asking, "Second Uncle, did you catch all these?"
His voice was full of curiosity and excitement.
Zhong Zishu smiled and nodded, and replied: "Yes! Did you see the biggest one? That was caught by Sui Sui and Niannian together."
"But Niannian had a hard time catching this big fish. The fish's tail hit him hard on the face."
At this point, Zhong Zishu seemed to recall the funny scene at that time and couldn't help laughing out loud.
After hearing this, Ningning imagined the scene for a moment and found it very funny, and the corners of her mouth rose involuntarily.
He continued to stare at the fish in the basin for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said to Zhong Zishu, "Second Uncle, can you keep one fish for now? We can cook it for mom when she comes back."
Zhong Zishu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, we can just catch new ones when your mother comes back."
"Besides, some of the smaller fish have been put back into the pond. Next time Ruoan comes back, we'll go catch some big ones."
At this time, Ningning frowned and asked in confusion: "Then second uncle, why don't you choose to use fishing? This way it is clean and won't get a fishy smell."
"It's so troublesome that I have to go into the water to catch it myself!" After saying this, he gently touched his nose with his hand.
Zhong Zishu laughed and explained, "Fishing is easy, but it's not as exciting or fun as going into the water and catching fish."
"Moreover, going into the water to catch fish not only allows you to experience the thrill of competing with fish, but also allows you to feel close to nature."
"How about Ningning? Do you want to go digging lotus roots with us tomorrow? Maybe you will like this activity. If you want, you can also try to go into the water and feel it for yourself."
Ning Ning was immediately interested when she heard it, and asked with shining eyes: "Really? Is it really fun?"
Then he squatted down impatiently, staring at the fish in the basin intently, picked up a branch from the side, put it into the water and stirred it gently, trying to tease the little fish.
Time passed slowly. After about half an hour, the two little guys, Suisui and Nian Nian, finally washed themselves clean from head to toe, changed into neat and fresh clothes, and walked out of the bathroom slowly.
Sui Sui ran to Ning Ning, opened his arms and said in a baby voice, "Ning Ning, hug me."
Then, the three innocent children hugged each other tightly and began to play happily.
Zhong Zishu smelled the strange odor in the air and frowned, thinking that the smell was indeed a bit unpleasant, so he hurried back to his room to take a shower and change his clothes.
On the other side, Leng Zexi acted very quickly. When Zhong Zishu finished taking a shower and came downstairs, the fragrant, hot lunch was ready and could be served.
At this time, Mu Shen was placing the dishes and chopsticks on the table, while turning to look at Leng Zexi and asking, "How many days do you plan to let the children stay here this time? Or are you just going to send Ningning here?"
"I'm on vacation recently. If you're too busy with your company to come, you can leave your children here and I'll help take care of them."
Hearing this, Leng Zexi smiled and nodded, then looked gently at the children who were playing and fighting, and asked softly, "Sui Sui, Niannian, and Ningning, do you want to go home with Daddy, or do you want to stay here and continue playing? When Mom comes back, I will bring her to pick you up."
Sui Sui and Nian Nian looked at each other, then simultaneously grabbed Ning Ning's hand and answered in unison: "We want to play here! You and mom can come pick us up when the time comes."
After all, my mother is not at home at the moment. If I go back with my father, I will probably have to go to the company with him, which would be too boring. It is far better to stay here and have fun freely.
"Ningning, there are fruits to pick here! How about we take you to pick fruits together?"
"Besides, there is a super large flower and bird market nearby, with lots of colorful flowers and all kinds of cute little animals! Let's not rush home today." Niannian excitedly took Ningning's little hand and introduced incessantly.
"But... Dad's company is not fun at all." Ningning pouted and muttered.
At this time, Sui Sui also came over and agreed, "That's right, it's so interesting here! Not only can you pick fruits and visit the flower and bird market, but you can also take a boat ride! Ningning, let's go together."
Hearing these tempting activities, Ningning couldn't help but feel a little tempted, but soon she looked hesitant: "No, I have promised my father that I will help him dig the pond. When my mother comes back, I can plant beautiful plants in it."
Seeing this, Leng Zexi smiled and comforted Ningning: "It's okay, baby, Dad can take care of the pool by himself. When everything is done, Dad will take pictures and send them to you, how about that?"
Ning Ning tilted her head and thought for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, I still want to stay here and play."
"Okay! Then you guys can play here for a while longer. When your mom comes back from school, your dad will bring her to pick you up."
"By then, your mother will have to go to school, and you three little ones will have to go to kindergarten obediently." Leng Zexi touched the children's heads lovingly, and then looked at them tenderly.
"Great!" The three little cuties cheered in unison, expressing their full agreement with the decision.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already evening. Just as Leng Zexi was about to go into the kitchen to cook dinner, Niannian suddenly seemed to remember something important and hurriedly reached out to hold him.
"Brother! Help me get the light bulb! Grandma has already bought it!" Niannian shouted at the top of her voice. Suisui seemed to suddenly remember something and ran to the cabinet to search for it. Soon she found the brand new light bulb.
"Dad, this is for you! Please go and install it. The light at the door outside was broken yesterday." Sui Sui held the light bulb carefully, walked quickly to Leng Zexi, and handed it to him.
Leng Zexi took the light bulb, picked up the stool next to him, and stepped on it steadily.
I saw him skillfully unscrewing the old light bulb and then gently screwing the new light bulb into the lamp holder. The whole action was done in one go.
After the light bulb was installed, he looked down at the children standing below and asked with a smile: "Why don't you ask your two uncles to change it?"
Unexpectedly, Niannian blurted out without even thinking: "I don't want my uncles to change, what if they get electrocuted by accident!"
After saying that, he nodded seriously.
Leng Zexi, who had not yet gotten down from the stool, felt suddenly upset when he heard his second son's innocent words.
Sui Sui looked up at his father sensibly and comforted him softly, "Don't be sad, Dad. The hands of your eldest and second uncles are very important. It would be bad if they got hurt just by changing a light bulb."
Ningning stared at the swing for a long time, then shook her head gently, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she finally nodded, took brisk steps, and followed her brothers towards the swing.
On the other side, Leng Zexi couldn't help but twitch his mouth after hearing this. He muttered to himself: "So, this little guy doesn't care whether I will be electrocuted or not, and he doesn't worry about me getting hurt? It's really infuriating and funny!"
At this time, Mu Shen and Zhong Zishu, who were busy processing fish and cleaning lotus roots in the yard, overheard this conversation. The two smiled at each other, with their mouths slightly raised. They thought to themselves: "These little brats are really well cared for, but they just don't care about their dad too much!"
Not long after, Xia Lin and his wife, who had just returned from an outing, also learned about this. After hearing this, the couple looked at each other with an indescribable expression on their faces.
The two of them thought silently: "Why don't we just go out for a walk and go home later..."
At this moment, Leng Zexi noticed his father-in-law and mother-in-law standing beside him, and quickly called out, "Mom and Dad."
Xia Lin turned around when he heard the voice, his eyes fell on Leng Zexi, and he said with a smile: "Zexi, come here. I was planning to change the light bulb when we came back, but I didn't expect you to change it for us so quickly. You've worked so hard!"
Leng Zexi slowly walked down the ladder and said to Xia Lin with a smile: "Dad, you're welcome. This is just a small matter. It's not a big deal."
Time quickly came to the next day, and Leng Zexi still followed everyone to the fish pond. After all, there were three naughty children following them, so he had to go and see it in person to feel more at ease.
Along the way, the children ran excitedly in front like wild horses, and their laughter echoed in the air.
In the brief moment when Leng Ze Xizi turned around and left to answer the phone, who could have thought that such a thrilling scene would happen!
When he hurried back, the scene in front of him made her heart rise to her throat instantly - she saw the lovely Ningning holding a snake tightly, as if it was just an ordinary toy, and playing with it happily.
Mu Shen on the other side also witnessed this astonishing scene.
Since Ningning was here for the first time, she was left on the shore and had not yet entered the water.
At this moment, Sui Sui and Nian Nian had already happily gone into the water to play, but they were not afraid of snakes like ordinary people.
