Lu Zhiruo carried her to the bathroom to take a bath. Lu Zhiruo put on pajamas with cute bunny patterns on her, and she also wore the same ones.

Then, Lu Zhiruo held her in her arms again, carried her to the bed, and told her a story in a gentle voice.

The story is about when Lu Zhiruo was 5 years old, she was taken by her eldest brother Lu Xingzhou to the countryside to help farmers harvest during the summer vacation.

At that time, Mrs. Lu was still relatively young, so she went with them, leaving Mr. Lu alone in North City to take care of the business.

Lu Zhiruo said that she was too young to use a sickle, so Mrs. Lu assigned her a job of picking up rice ears on the ground. She was very happy picking up rice ears, and she also picked up a toad and threw it on Lu Xingfeng's head.

"Fifth brother was so scared that he almost cried." Lu Zhiruo's tone was full of nostalgia, "He yelled at me to get rid of the toad, but I didn't. I put another grasshopper on his head, hahahaha."

As Lu Zhiruo spoke, she began to laugh.

Yaya also laughed: "Is Lu Xingfeng crying?"

"Well, Fifth Brother has been a crybaby since he was young." Lu Zhiruo answered Yaya, "He cried because he fell to the ground, he cried because he didn't do well on an exam, and he also cried because the little girl he liked played with someone else."

There are many reasons why Lu Xingfeng cries.

The more Lu Zhiruo talked, the more amusing it became. She rested her chin on top of Yaya's head and laughed quietly.

Yaya also laughed along.

She leaned against Lu Zhiruo's chest, listening to the pounding heartbeat in her chest with her little ears, and couldn't help thinking: I wish everything was true.

No wonder some people in ancient times entered the Peach Blossom Spring. They knew in their hearts that everything might be an illusion, but they still lingered there and didn't want to leave.

Yaya hugged Lu Zhiruo tighter.

Lu Zhiruo's laughter slowly stopped, and she said gently, "If Yaya wants, can we go to the countryside to play too?"

Yaya nodded and said, "Okay, Yaya is good at picking up rice ears. Then let Aba pick them up with us."

"Who is Aba?" Lu Zhiruo was curious.

Yaya said that Aba was a starling, and that when Aba was a child, he was in a bird's nest and was blown to the ground by a strong wind. She picked him up and raised him little by little under the guidance of her master.

She was the one who taught Aba how to speak and gave him his name.

Yaya talked about some things on the mountain in a baby voice and soon fell asleep.

Lu Zhiruo gently kissed Yaya on her forehead, then slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep and beautiful dream with Yaya.

A whole night passed, and the next day, the mother and daughter appeared on the Lu family's dining table wearing the same sleeveless bow dress.

Lu Zhiruo sat on Yaya's left, and Lu Xingzhou sat on Yaya's right.

In the morning, a tall man in a dark shirt slid his cold eyes over Lu Zhiruo and asked Yaya in a gentle voice, "How did you sleep last night?"

Yaya glanced at Lu Xingzhou and smiled sweetly: "You slept so well! And even listened to and told stories!"

Seeing that Yaya was so happy talking to her eldest son, Mr. Lu also joined the conversation: "Little Yaya, what stories did you tell your mother?"

Yaya told Lu Zhiruo about a story that when she was a child, she was picking wheat ears and found a toad and threw it on Lu Xingfeng's head, which scared Lu Xingfeng so much that he cried.

As soon as these words were spoken, except for Lu Zhiruo and the two old people who still had smiles on their faces, the smiles on the three brothers' faces faded a lot.

Lu Xingfeng was a little impatient and moved his lips twice as if he wanted to speak, but was quietly kicked by Lu Xingyun before he really shut up.

When they were young, they went to the countryside to work as a family. They worked for free and only ate a little food from the villagers. They lived in tents in the rice fields in the countryside.

There have indeed been cases of catching toads and grasshoppers.

But he is the one who catches toads and scares people, and he is also the one who catches grasshoppers.

At that time, his mother went to the market with the villagers, and only the six of them were in the fields. He became naughty and threw toads and grasshoppers at his sister.

His sister was frightened and started crying, and he was severely beaten by his brothers, crying loudly.

Seeing how miserable he was, his sister stopped crying and pointed at him and laughed.

In order to teach him a lesson and make his sister a little braver, the eldest brother asked his sister to catch toads and grasshoppers, throw them on his head and return them to him, and ordered him not to move.

He was still in pain and crying.

But she was afraid that her brothers would continue to beat her, so she stood there crying and waited for her sister to take revenge.

When my mother and fellow villagers came back, they all thought that it was my sister who put those two things on him and scared him into crying.

The younger sister was a clever little girl. She vaguely knew that if she told her mother the truth, her brother would be beaten again, so she didn't tell the truth.

My mother thought this was a joke and told my father about it when she returned to the city.

His father scolded him again, saying that he was a boy and was afraid of those things and was not as good as his sister. He rewarded his sister with a lot of stickers that she liked.

Another year passed and it was time to experience life again. The second brother asked his sister if she remembered the toad incident, and his sister said she did.

She didn't confuse things, she remembered them as they were.

Later, when the brother and sister were playing around, the sister would talk about this incident when the parents were not around.

But why did she skip the previous part when she was telling Yaya the story? Lu Xingfeng glanced at Lu Zhiruo who was picking up some food for Yaya. He was not sure whether his sister was trying to save face in front of Yaya or if she simply could not tell the whole story.

If it is the former, the mother wants her daughter to know that she was very capable when she was a child, and the logic is correct.

If it was the latter, what on earth was this sister who knew all the things that happened to them when they were young? Lu Xingfeng felt uneasy, but seeing that his eldest and fourth brothers were talking to Yaya and Lu Zhiruo with normal expressions, he could only suppress all the thoughts in his heart.

The eldest brother in the family is the smartest one, so he would not have thought that there was something wrong with Lu Zhiruo.

Although Yaya is young, she is not an ordinary child who would be deceived by a lollipop. He, he should just shut up and not make trouble.

"Where are you going to play later?" Lu Xingzhou asked, "I'll take you there."

"Aunt Xiao Ni said she had work to do today and asked me to go to her company." Yaya told her about today's schedule. "Lu Xingzhou, if you want to go too, that's fine. I told her I'll bring someone with me."

Yaya calls people or calls them by their names directly.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu, who had not dared to speak, had a look of disappointment in her eyes.

Ruoruo came back, but Yaya still didn't want to recognize them. It was all her fault, this old guy, for thinking of Yaya as a child and hurting her heart.
