"Look, all three of us have spoken." Cheng Zhenzhu took the three thin ropes given to her, found another one, and tied the snakeskin bag tightly.
"Talk!" Liu Tiao grabbed the sofa and took two steps, showing a few small teeth and drooling.
These past few days, perhaps because there were so many people around, Liu Tiao was particularly expressive and making rapid progress, occasionally uttering a few words and even walking a few steps on his own with the help of something. Cheng Zhenzhu had become so accustomed to this that even the interaction was perfunctory.
Zhao Fangrui and Cheng Fugui felt a surge of warmth in their hearts as they listened to San Tiao's words. This was a generous and caring child...
"Grandma and Grandpa, do you want to bring some crabs back? Let's go catch some crabs." Peng Ertiao stuffed Xiaohuzi's bag with food and ran over to talk to the adults.
"It rained in the morning, so there were a lot of crabs in the afternoon." Peng Yitiao said with experience.
Just now, Xiao Huzi and Sister Dani expressed their desire to go crabbing again, and he wanted to satisfy them.
"Anyway, we've almost packed up, and now that the weather is clear, let's not stay stuck at home and go for a walk outside." This was exactly what Cheng Zhenzhu was thinking.
Her family was about to leave, so she planned to pick up some crabs and make crab rice for them in the evening.
"Well, let's go for a walk." Zhao Fangrui nodded. It wasn't a good idea to stay stuck at home all day.
Arriving at the spot, Zhao Fangrui checked the water temperature. Although it was a bit sunny, the water was still quite cold. The younger ones decided not to go in yet. "Xiao Hu, Dani, Yitiao, you guys should stay out of the water and check if there's anything on the rocks nearby."
"Okay." Peng Ertiao nodded and took his brother and sister to turn over stones.
Liu Tiao watched his older brothers and sisters run away, excited, struggling to get down to the ground and play with sand. Liu Tiao's unusual activity made Cheng Zhenzhu reflect that her recent diligent efforts to teach the little one to walk might have been a mistake...
When San Tiao saw his mother squatting and playing with Liu Tiao, he didn't bother to pick up the crabs. He squatted down at his mother's feet like a warm little ball.
"San Tiao, aren't you picking up crabs anymore?" Cheng Zhenzhu looked at Xiao Tiao who was playing in the sand.
"Brother picks up, sister picks up, Nao Nao picks up, and Nao Ye picks up..." San Tiao immediately counted the heads with his fingers. After counting a circle, he happily gestured, "San Tiao, pick up a lot~"
"Little clever boy." Cheng Zhenzhu laughed. She let go of Fu Liutiao's hand and let him squat on his own.
"Oh oh~" Liu Tiao was not very good at squatting. As soon as his mother's hand loosened, his center of balance was unstable and he immediately leaned on his mother's legs.
The little guy was afraid of falling, so he held on to his mother's feet and refused to let go.
"Mom~" After a while of Oh-oh-ah-ah, Liu Tiao grabbed his mother's trouser legs and shouted for help.
Seeing the pitiful little guy biting his lips, Cheng Zhenzhu stopped teasing him and held him in her arms.
After returning to the safe embrace, Liu Tiao became much more well-behaved and stopped kicking his feet and wanting to go down to play.
"Cold, crab rice, tonight, okay?" Peng Sandiao had a small head, but he remembered a lot of delicious food. For example, the crab stewed rice from two days ago was very fresh in his memory, and his eyes lit up as he spoke.
The six ears that were highly sensitive to "food" moved, and the word "呲" popped out immediately.
"You're breaking it." Peng San looked at Liu Tiao with pity. "The food didn't get bitten."
Liu Tiao was confused, blinked his eyes, and then let out another loud cry.
Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the two brothers on their own channels and couldn't help but smile. "San Tiao wants to eat crab stewed rice. It's simple! Mom will make it tonight. Make a big pot and give San Tiao a big bowl of rice, okay?"
"Okay." San Tiao's eyes lit up and he hugged his mother's arm affectionately.
Liu Tiao felt that he should be called Liu Tiao, but when his mother said "Rice" instead of "Liu Tiao", he felt ignored. He quickly grabbed his mother's clothes to show his presence.
"Then divide it into six strips and ten grains of rice." Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the crying little fellow and said generously.
"Oh oh~" Liu Tiao is excited and wants to go down to play again...
"Mom, there are so many crabs, we picked up so many!" An hour or so later, Peng Ertiao came to report his results to his mother.
"So amazing?"
"Yeah! My brothers are the best. There's a big one. Brother Xiaohu is also good. I'm good too. Sisters Da Ni and Er Ni are also good. Anyway, they're all good. Except for San Ni. She always makes trouble." After saying this, Peng Er Tiao wiped his face, feeling a little depressed.
Sanni occupied the claws but didn't catch any crabs. She made herself dirty and even got it on them!
Cheng Zhenzhu glanced at Sanni, who was sitting on the sand not far away, and felt a little helpless. Da Ni and Er Ni were both well-behaved children, and she liked them quite a bit. But as for Sanni, she really couldn't like her at all...
"It's almost done, let's go back." Zhao Fangrui followed her grandson, grandson, and granddaughter and also picked up several large crabs, and was immediately satisfied.
"Let's play for a while longer." Little Tiger begged his grandmother. He was unhappy when he thought about going back tomorrow. He had to pick up a few more.
"Okay, let's play for a while longer." Zhao Fangrui agreed.
So the whole family didn't "call it a day" until after 5 o'clock. The few children who didn't go into the water had a lot of fun on the shore, chasing each other, and even building a house together.
Of course, they would have more fun if Sanni didn't throw sand on them...
Cheng Zhenyu returned to the shore and looked at the dirty little girl. She wanted to throw her into the sea to feed the fish. How could a girl be even dirtier than a boy? "I told you to behave yourself, behave yourself, but you won't listen, right? You want to be punished again, don't you?"
"Dad!" Zhao Sanni felt something was not right when she saw herself being picked up again, so she immediately asked her father for help.
Cheng Zhenyu looked annoyed. After shaking her butt twice, she threw Zhao Sanni to her husband and said, "Zhao Jiawang, I can't control your daughter anymore. You take good care of her. If she doesn't obey me, throw her into the sea. Don't want her anymore."
"Why did you offend your mother again?" Zhao Jiawang was in a state of great pain. He had no idea what to do with this little girl of his. She was disobedient, extremely noisy, and she looked the most like him. So he spent more time with this little girl than with his two daughters combined.
"Dad, Mom only knows how to beat me..." Zhao Sanni complained.
Then, as expected, she was taken away by her mother and beaten up again...
Cheng Zhenbao was speechless. How could his niece be so blind to the truth?
Cheng Fugui felt that this was outrageous and was about to scold him when he saw a few people coming towards him. He remembered these people very well! Weren't they his son-in-law's unscrupulous father and brothers?
"Hit us, hit us hard! We, the Cheng family, would rather be beaten to death by our own family than be bullied by others! Pearl, if you are bullied, please tell us and we will ask your brothers to come over next year.
Your brothers are as strong as bulls. We don't look for trouble, but we are definitely not afraid of it!" Cheng Fugui's voice was like a bell, accompanied by Zhao Sanni's miserable crying.
Cheng Zhenbao was stunned. There were no one around on his parents' side, so how could his second sister have a brother?
