Lu Cijiu saw the man rolling away. He didn't know if it was because of his poor eyesight, but the place where he pressed on the man's left shoulder seemed to be slightly blackened. This man was not a dirty creature, so it should be the mud that got on him when he rolled away, right?
When Lu Cijiu returned to the yard, he was about to speak when his cell phone rang.
"Hello, is this Mr. Lu Cijiu? We just received your contract. You have signed the contract with the Monster Management Bureau—"
Lu Cijiu: "Monster Management Bureau? Which Yao?"
"Oh oh, one, two, three, four, demon."
Lu Cijiu remembered that the name of the public institution where he took the civil service exam was Yi Guan Ju, which turned out to be pronounced as "yao".
But that doesn't matter.
He immediately wanted to ask about the abuse and mistreatment of children at the orphanage, and the malnutrition they seemed to be experiencing. He suspected the orphanage's subsidies were being embezzled by scumbags. He had to get to the bottom of it. The person on the other end of the line seemed to know what he was asking, and said politely and warmly, "Your salary of 3,000 yuan will be paid to your phone at the beginning of each month. Is this your Alipay number? Please verify 138..."
"The phone is ringing. I want to report that the previous director of the shelter abused the children." Lu Cijiu said righteously.
"Okay, we've received your feedback. We'll investigate and punish you accordingly. Regarding the Shanhai Shelter, please enter the contract here as a friendly notice. The shelter's allowance is three thousand. This is enough for your salary and the expenses of the four cubs. We can't help it because our Monster Management Bureau is too poor..."
Lu Cijiu first said: Well, the punishment is not bad.
Then I heard that the salary of 3,000 yuan included raising four children, and I said goodbye???
"No, you are a public institution after all—" Lu Cijiu was speechless, feeling cheated.
It is said that civil servants will have five insurances and one fund. They don’t ask for a golden rice bowl, but at least their jobs must be formal and cannot be worse than a small spicy snack workshop.
Three thousand a month, including the expenses for the children, raising children is very expensive these days!!!
On the other end of the line, the woman's sweet voice tinged with menace, and she said with a smile, "Dear, this is what I'm saying. You've taken over the shelter now. It's under your name. You're the guardian of the four cubs. If you think the salary is too low, you don't have to quit. If the cubs starve or freeze to death, it won't be our responsibility as the Monster Management Bureau."
Lu Bijiu:???
!!!!!!
I'm going to mosaic your dirty words.
"It seems that you understand, dear. Okay, the notice has been conveyed. From now on, the affairs of Shanhai Cubs will no longer be under the jurisdiction of our Monster Management Bureau. We don't need to contact each other anymore. Come on, dear~"
Lu Cijiu: I have a sentence mmp——
He saw the innocent and focused eyes of the children, swallowed the curse words he had just said, and gritted his teeth to reply to the phone, "Okay, I hope you can close the store soon~"
The troublemaker on the other end of the line said: ...
After the call ended, Lu Cijiu and the children looked at each other.
"You don't want us anymore?" the waiter asked with a tense face.
The little one looked lost and uttered a nervous "ah". The youngest one's eyes were red and she cried "chirp..."
Lu Bijiu: ...
Who can withstand this?
"Who said I don't want you anymore? I just said on the phone that from now on you are all my sons and daughters, and I am your father." Lu Cijiu said bluntly.
“Chirp!”
“Chirp!”
Little One and Little Four happily rushed over to hug Lu Cijiu's thighs. Little Two remained rather aloof, standing still with a cold expression on his face that said, "I want a hug but I have to save face." Lu Cijiu waved his arm and embraced them both. "Cheep, chirp," he said. "As long as he knew he was his dad, that was enough."
Lu Cijiu was in a good mood. He lowered his head and smelled a sour smell coming from the four cubs hugging his thighs. "How many days have you not taken a bath?"
"Senmo washes the duck?" asked the little Sasa with chubby cheeks.
"I can't count. It's been a long time. The water is so cold and I don't like taking a bath." Xiaoyi answered actively.
"I don't like taking baths." The waiter said firmly, and his little face was full of resistance, as if saying, "Don't even think about giving me a bath."
Bathing the child with cold water, Lu Cijiu regretted that the bad luck he had just wished to the scumbag was too short. He himself was also from an orphanage, and his life in the orphanage was better than these four before he was taken away by his grandfather.
"I'm not familiar with this place. Can you take me around?" Lu Cijiu didn't mention the matter of taking a bath first.
Yi Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There are quite a few rooms in the yard, with four rows of houses in the east, west, south and north. The scumbag occupied the main house that faces the sun the most. To save trouble, he crammed all four children into a dark little house in the west wing, which should be a storage room.
bad language.
The kitchen was also on the west side. It was filthy and looked like it hadn't been used in a long time. It was still an old coal stove, and the pots and pans were covered in dust. Only a large basin showed signs of use, but looking at the dried rice stains, it was simply...
Lu Cijiu became more and more angry as he watched, and he endured it like a puffer fish in front of the children.
The yard had water and electricity, but they were out. Fortunately, there was a small courtyard behind the quadrangle, with knee-high weeds and a well. Lu Cijiu had grown up in the countryside with his grandfather and knew how to use the old-fashioned well. He went to draw water, and the four rows of people followed him.
"Jiujiu, I can do the work. I'll help you. I'm so awesome." Xiaoyi said enthusiastically and flatteringly.
"No need." Lu Cijiu rubbed Xiaoyi's head. Xiaoyi said he was three and a half years old, with thin arms and legs. He looked so small, what kind of work could he do? The eldest son's intention was appreciated, and his father understood.
The waiter looked at Jiujiu's hand on Xiaoyi's head and said fiercely, "I'm the best. I can do the work."
"Yes, Xiao Er is better than me." Xiao Yi started praising Xiao Er as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lu Cijiu watched his two sons struggling to work, then rubbed his second son's head and said, "If there's anyone suitable, I'll call you."
The waiter then retracted his fierce expression and said awkwardly, "You should call me first."
"Jiujiu, you should call Xiaoer first." Xiaoyi said obediently that he would not argue.
Lu Bijiu: ...
Okay.
The courtyard house was actually quite nice, though it was abandoned and uncared for. Visiting it at night in the middle of nowhere would have made it look like a haunted house. But Lu Cijiu knew there were no ghosts; it was clean and had a good feng shui location.
There is a mountain behind and water in front.
It’s Shanhai Village, why are they the only family here?
He lit the coal stove and began to boil water. He found a large, moldy wooden tub in the corner, cleaned it, and started to boil water. He moved the tub to the center of the yard and mixed the hot and cold water. Lu Cijiu stared at the four children and said with a grin, "Let me pick who goes first."
The waiter gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to take a shower, do it for me. Don't touch anyone else."
"You're so afraid of taking a bath, yet you still let me take one?" Lu Cijiu asked.
I just found a piece of paper to record the ages of the four children. The youngest is three and a half years old, the second is two months younger than the first, so he is three years and four months old, Sasa is exactly three years old, and the fourth is two and a half years old.
Among the four children, although Xiao Er is the second oldest, he is the eldest and the leader, and no one knows why.
"You, you, you!" The waiter couldn't give a reason and almost jumped up in frustration.
Xiaoyi said enthusiastically, "It smells really good."
Lu Cijiu worked all morning. He is not a person who sweats easily, but he is now covered in sweat. It smells good or bad. I guess it is because children are simple and sensitive and can naturally distinguish between good and bad. Judging from his face, of course he is handsome and kind-hearted, and he is the glory of his father!
"Okay, I'll wash you first and set an example for my brothers and sisters."
"I'm not afraid if you wash it."
Lu Cijiu pinched the waiter's face, who was pretending to be calm, and rolled up his sleeves!
Waiter: ...
My legs feel a little weak.
Xiao Er thought, if it gets too cold later, he can just bite his teeth and bear it. After all, this chick smells so good and he likes it so much, he can bear it. He closed his eyes, and the cold and pain he was expecting didn't come. Instead, he felt a warm and slightly burning sensation, and his little body shivered.
"Is it too hot?" Lu Cijiu touched the water. The water temperature he diluted was a little hot, but not scalding.
"Why aren't you cold and in pain?"
"Why would it hurt to take a bath?" Lu Cijiu saw the four dirty children and silently added, "It might still hurt."
You have to rub it. If you don't have a bath towel, just rub it harder.
So this summer, in the yard overgrown with weeds, Xiao Er experienced the joy of taking a bath for the first time. Although he was obviously in pain from being rubbed, he just couldn't bear to give up. It was very comfortable. His limbs were stretched out, his little face was washed white, his eyes were bright, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"It feels so good to take a bath." The waiter assured everyone.
When it was the little girl's turn, Lu Cijiu was gentle and after washing her, he wrapped Sasa in the only clean towel.
"It's Xiaosi's turn."
Lu Cijiu was stunned when he saw Xiao Si's little chirping. He thought Xiao Si belonged to a little girl.
"Chirp?" Xiao Si's pretty face was filled with confusion.
It was the first time that Lu Cijiu saw a little boy who was prettier than a little girl, "Hey, Xiao Si is prettier than I was when I was a child."
Xiao Si smiled and praised him.
When giving a boy a bath, Lu Cijiu had no reservations, unlike when he just washed Sasa, where he just rubbed his butt all over and let Sasa wash it himself. Although he was the guardian and felt clear about it, he still had to do what he should be cautious about.
After Lu Cijiu rubbed Xiao Si's back and front, it was his turn. When he squatted down, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Xiao Si seems to be a little girl again.
Lu Cijiu confirmed that Xiao Si did have positions for both boys and girls. It was the first time he had seen such a situation, and he thought of the words that bastard scum had used to curse the monster.
Could it be that Xiao Si was abandoned because of this?
"No matter whether he is a boy or a girl, Xiao Si is Xiao Si." Lu Cijiu came back to his senses and smiled at Xiao Si.
"Love, love." Xiao Si raised his pretty and delicate little face and said in a baby voice.
Deep in the Pacific Ocean.
The sharks were hunting and feeding ferociously as usual, but when they sensed danger, their instincts forced them to let go of the food in their mouths and scatter. In the deepest part of the ocean, a pair of eyes opened. The dark, claustrophobic seabed was like a shining gem, a clear blue, emotionless, and cold.
Gong Xichao wakes up.
What time is it?
How long had he slept this time? Before he fell into deep sleep to cultivate, it seemed that the broken dragon mentioned that he was going to have a nephew.
Where is your nephew?
Gong Xichao moved his head and looked around, but there was nothing, not here, not here either, and even the breath of the Broken Dragon was gone.
what happened?
Gong Xichao frowned, his eyes cold and emotionless, swinging his huge tail and looking in another direction.
The seabed was surging with violent waves, pushing up to the surface layer by layer, and the originally calm sea surface became huge waves.
"This station is issuing an emergency warning. A sudden earthquake has occurred in the deep Pacific Ocean. According to surveys, a magnitude 10 tsunami is currently heading towards..."
