Hearing Liu Tiao's humble tone, San Tiao softened his heart. But he had no gun.
"No, I don't want to play." San Tiao replied to his two brothers.
Ichijo nodded, then coldly rejected Liujo who winked at him.
"Woo ah woo ah ~" Liu Tiao groaned, feeling very sad. Not even a single shot can be taken...
"Get out of the way, you little bastard." San Tiao decisively covered Liu Tiao's ears and stood behind him, squeezing Liu Tiao between his short legs, trying to carry him away. His head was buzzing.
Liu Tiao didn't want to leave, so San Tiao peeled a big white leg candy and handed it to his mouth, "Be good~"
"Okay." Liu Tiao nodded. "For the bunny candy's sake."
"Okay then." Seeing that the third one didn't want the firecrackers, the second one went to play by himself. The first one also played, and while playing, he looked at the sixth one who had squatted on the ground and picked up the firecrackers again...
Liu Tiao had already collected a lot of firecrackers, but they were all useless. It was really pitiful! But in the end, he and his second brother used up all the firecrackers...
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, there were no more firecrackers to play with, so Yitiao and Ertiao followed the other kids on the island and occasionally picked up two.
My brother is here to pick up trash too? San Tiao doesn't understand and quietly walks away, finding a spot to crack some sunflower seeds from his pocket. Mom gives him a handful so he can crack them slowly...
"Jieri, Jieli, there are so many!" Liu Tiao was so happy to see his brothers accompanying him to pick up garbage. His voice was filled with excitement, and he even brought several of his brothers to the territory he had reserved.
But his happiness didn't last long. Liu Tiao discovered that some of his brothers' firecrackers could be fired, but all his were duds. It turned out that he was the only one who picked up trash, while his brothers picked up firecrackers...
Six looked depressed, but One, Two, and Three were extremely happy.
After half a month of fun, the Lantern Festival arrived. School was about to start, and I started to join the depressed camp.
To soothe the two wounded hearts, Cheng Zhenzhu made shrimp cakes for the little ones. They contained not only peeled large shrimp but also green beans and carrots. Each shrimp cake contained two whole shrimp, the carrots were diced, and the peas were blanched before mixing in the sauce.
The shrimp cakes were salty, fragrant and crispy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Dipping them in the spicy sauce was quite delicious. The little kids sat at the table and ate one after another. Cheng Zhenzhu didn't stop them immediately, so the brothers couldn't finish their dinner.
At the dinner table, Cheng Zhenzhu was eating a bowl of stewed dried beans with cured pork ribs, glistening with sesame oil. She looked at the children rubbing their bellies with fixed gazes and said with a smile, "Now you understand, right? Don't eat stupidly next time, or you won't have enough space for better food."
She hopes the little kids will learn a lesson this time.
Er Tiao cried silently. His mother had lied. He had asked her what he wanted for dinner that afternoon, and she had said anything. He knew that anything meant vegetables, a steamed bun with whole grains, and a little rice. Then he ate two more shrimp cakes. In the end, they had cured pork ribs stewed with dried beans for dinner...
San Tiao nodded, pinched his stomach and said, "You have to save some space and eat slowly."
"Eat more~" Liu Tiao replied, and took the spoon to scoop another rib, but was stopped by his older brother Yi Tiao.
"Liu Tiao, stop eating! If you eat any more, your stomach will explode. If you don't obey, I'll beat you up."
Ichijo said this in a gentle tone, without raising his fist. However, Rokujo became obedient.
Cheng Zhenzhu nodded in satisfaction, told the children to leave the table to digest their food, and went to wash the dishes. Since it was a holiday today, she didn't need the children to wash the dishes; she thought of it as a day off...
After the Lantern Festival, school started. Cheng Zhenzhu sent the two older children to school, and on weekdays, it was just her and the two younger children at home. But with Six around, the house didn't seem lonely. The three children, too, were much more lively and active, thanks to Six's presence.
Anyway, it's like three are running away and six are chasing. Even if three have wings, they can't fly away...
Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the two sweet little creatures and entered the protected area on the system map. She planned to catch two sea snakes.
She had recently obtained a recipe for [Intermediate Sea Snake Wine] while completing a mission. It had the effects of strengthening the body and bones, relaxing the tendons and activating the joints, and removing rheumatism. Her father, Cheng Fugui, had complained of back and knee pain before, and Zhao Fangrui also had some bone pain. She thought of getting two bottles of sea snake wine to try out the effect.
【Selected map】
Following the prompt, Cheng Zhenzhu appeared on the surface of the sea, lightly lifted by the water. With a single step, Cheng Zhenzhu dived straight down.
50 meters, 60 meters, 80 meters... Cheng Zhenzhu turned on the system protection and felt no discomfort at all.
Further down, Cheng Zhenzhu saw a vast expanse of ostentatious green. In the protected area within the system, she had scattered a handful of seaweed seeds after clearing the red tide. Now, densely packed with seaweed, it swayed and grew, branchesless and veinless, drifting with the current.
The bright sunshine shines through the sea, and the mottled light sways gently with the waves on the green seaweed, making it look beautiful and mysterious.
There were piles of corals, thickets of seaweed, and numerous caves here, making it a perfect place for sea snakes to live. Thinking of the sight of a bunch of snakes poking their heads out, staring at people with their cold eyes, Cheng Zhenzhu couldn't help but shudder.
She was actually afraid of snakes, but this time she came prepared. Cheng Zhenzhu touched the snake cage she carried with her, feeling a little relieved. This was a prop she had purchased for 7,999 sea coins. For such a high price, she hoped she could cage a few.
Cheng Zhenzhu took out the prepared fish. Its belly had been ripped open, and she sprinkled some seaweed mud inside, deciding to use it as bait to lure the snake into the trap. Once everything was ready, Cheng Zhenzhu tossed the snake cage into the seaweed pile.
There are many kinds of snakes in the sea, including black snakes, gray snakes, green snakes, spotted snakes, red snakes... Cheng Zhenzhu, who was holding the rope of the cage and waiting for the snake to come to her, said that any snake would do, she is not picky.
The effect of the seaweed mud was obvious. It wasn't long before she felt the snake cage vibrate. Cheng Zhenzhu chatted with the little turtle as she waited. It was like the little turtle had a GPS installed on her; every time she went to the sea, it would come after a while.
Come here to beg for food.
Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the little turtle, which had grown into an adult, and fed it a piece of seaweed mud. She whispered, "Don't tell anyone that you ate alone again, or you won't get any next time, okay?"
The little turtle had a large family behind her, which she could not afford to support. However, the turtles had given her so much precious gold and jewels, and it would be very unkind of her to give them to the little turtle instead of to the other turtles.
The little turtle nodded frantically, and quickly pulled out a string of pearls from somewhere. "This is for you."
Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the peeling pearls and accepted them with a smile. This should be something left behind by the ancient ship last time. It was peeling and faded, similar to the plastic bucket in her space.
Just as she put the pearl string away, Cheng Zhenzhu felt the rope around her hand tremble violently. It looked like there was more than one living thing inside. This was the kind of battle scene you'd see...
