At this moment, she was wearing disposable gloves and peeling crayfish in her hands, while the small plate next to her bowl was already piled high with peeled crayfish tails.
Inside, some were peeled by my maternal grandparents, some by my eldest uncle, some by Lu Linqi, and some by my two younger brothers.
She just felt that if you didn't do it yourself, what was the point of eating crayfish?
So she peeled and ate as she went, and before she knew it, her family had peeled a whole plateful for her.
Finally, Lu Chuqing got the lobster meat into her mouth, took off her disposable gloves, thanked everyone with a smile, and began to concentrate on eating the lobster meat.
After dinner, Lu Jun suggested taking them to catch cicadas.
Although life is better now and everyone lives in the city, the boys, especially the two little boys, were overjoyed when they heard about catching catfish.
Lu Chuqing ate a bit too much for dinner, so she went along too, just to help digest her food.
The group took all the flashlights in the house and went out. Lu Chengyi and Lu Linze both wanted to hold her hand.
Unable to resist their persistent advances, Lu Chuqing had no choice but to hold one of them in each hand, while Lu Linqi guided them along the path.
In recent years, the village has been paved with cement roads, and there is much less land and trees.
Lu Jun led them to the west side of the village, where there was a slope with many trees.
When they arrived, people from neighboring villages were already in the woods, but the area was large, and they could only see a few flashlight beams in the distance.
Once inside the woods, the two little boys automatically let go of Lu Chuqing and followed Lu Jun to wait for the climbing fork.
Lu Chuqing followed behind Lu Linqi, constantly watching the messy weeds under her feet, but she still tripped over them.
Fortunately, Lu Linqi was watching her closely and reached out to pull her up.
After passing through the grassy areas just inside the forest, Lu Jun and the two little boys had already made a harvest.
Lu Linze brought the box over to show Lu Chuqing the climbing plant he had just caught. "Sister! Sister, look! It can move!"
Lu Chuqing peeked out and saw the unhatched cricket crawling slowly at the bottom of the box, trying to climb up the side of the box.
Lu Linze reached out and poked him, "Stay put and don't sneak off!"
In that brief moment, Lu Chengyi, who was with Lu Jun, caught two more, and the little boy ran over with two climbing forks in his hand.
"Sister, look, Dad caught two more with me!"
Seeing the little boy's smug look, Lu Chuqing couldn't help but pat his head. "Yeah! Our Xiao Yi is so amazing!"
Then Lu Linze became unhappy and said sourly, "My sister didn't touch me or praise me for being good, but I caught the first climbing tree!"
Helpless, Lu Chuqing could only pat Lu Linze's head again, "Alright, alright, our Xiaoze is amazing too!"
The little boy was no longer jealous. He glanced at Lu Chengyi, then turned and ran towards Lu Jun.
Realizing his intention, Lu Chengyi also turned and ran away, and the two little boys began a game of catching climbing plants.
Lu Chuqing said helplessly, "They really are just kids!"
Then, as soon as he turned his head, a large hand reached out in front of him, and five climbing vines were lying on the boy's long, wide palm.
“Five,” Lu Linqi said succinctly.
Seeing that look and that expression, Lu Chuqing resisted the urge to roll her eyes and uttered, "You're more childish."
Less than twenty minutes after entering the woods, Lu Chuqing began to regret her decision.
The forest has many trees and grass, and many mosquitoes live there. They are also very poisonous, and a bite will make you feel very itchy.
Unfortunately, she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a denim overalls, and soon her calves were covered in bite marks, which made her scratch constantly because of the itching.
Noticing that she had been bitten by mosquitoes, Lu Linqi shone a flashlight on her and saw that her fair and slender legs were covered with red bumps the size of coins and bloody scratches.
Knowing there were many mosquitoes outside, Chai Shuhua sprayed mosquito repellent on them all. However, perhaps because Lu Chuqing was wearing a skirt, her legs were still bitten quite badly.
Seeing this, Lu Jun immediately decided to go back. They had only come out to have fun, and the three boys had been putting in a lot of effort to compete, so they had already gained quite a bit.
Since it was already late and we thought they must be tired from the journey, we decided to turn back the way we came.
After arriving home, Lu Chuqing took a shower and changed into her pajamas. When she came out, Chai Shuhua came upstairs with a box of mosquito coils and a bottle of medicine.
"Auntie." The young girl was drying her hair when she saw the woman and called out.
"Let Auntie take a look," Chai Shuhua said, pulling Lu Chuqing over and bending down to examine the bumps on her legs.
"Oh dear, look what you've done!" the woman exclaimed, her eyes filled with heartache.
"The countryside is not like the city; the mosquitoes are much more vicious. I should have told you to bring mosquito repellent!"
Feeling sorry for Lu Chuqing, Chai Shuhua pulled her over to sit on the edge of the bed, lifted the girl's slender white legs and placed them on her own lap, unscrewed the bottle of medicine, poured some into her hands, and then rubbed it on the bumps.
Lu Chuqing smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Auntie." She also poured some medicine into her palm and applied it to her leg.
Chai Shuhua looked at her with affection and asked her about her studies and life. She picked out some interesting ones and answered them all.
She was the only girl in the family, well-behaved and sensible, and had a sweet tongue, so the whole family loved her dearly.
She and Zhang Qiaoyu became pregnant around the same time. Both of them already had a son and hoped to have a daughter as well.
So back then, I would always drag Lu Chuqing to touch my belly and make her talk to the baby inside, hoping to absorb some of the little girl's cute and girlish charm.
Who knew that she would only give birth to a son!
As a result, they all became extremely clingy and sister-obsessed younger brothers to Lu Chuqing!
Seeing the two little boys clinging to Lu Chuqing so tightly, sometimes even the little girl couldn't stand it anymore, they were at a loss for what to do.
The main problem is that the two little boys are too clingy, and even their mothers don't have the same influence as Lu Chuqing.
He could only try to make up for Lu Chuqing's shortcomings elsewhere, treating the little girl even better.
After applying the medicine, Chai Shuhua was about to go downstairs when she turned her head and saw two little kids, each holding their own little pillow, standing on either side of the door with half their heads sticking out and staring straight inside.
"You scared me! What are you two little rascals doing instead of sleeping?" she asked, patting the two little boys' heads.
Lu Chengyi and Lu Linze squeezed together at the doorway, each clutching a pillow. They spoke to Chai Shuhua, but their eyes were fixed on Lu Chuqing.
"Xiao Yi wants to sleep with her older sister!"
"Xiaoze wants to sleep with his sister!"
The two little ones spoke in unison, crowding together at the doorway, afraid that one of them would go in first.
Lu Chuqing wanted to scream, "No!"
Back in Lu Hang's big villa, those two kept bothering her to sleep every night, making it difficult for her to get a good night's sleep for several nights. She wanted to have some fun these past few days since she came back, so she hoped they wouldn't cause any more trouble.
Looking into the eyes of the two little ones, filled with anticipation, she couldn't bring herself to refuse. She could only pray that her aunt would take the two little ones away quickly.
Seeing the two of them like this gave Chai Shuhua a headache. She gently persuaded them, "Sister must be very tired from the car ride today. Let her get some rest. You can come and sleep with me tomorrow night."
