In the evening, the family members who had been busy in the fields all day slowly returned home.
Xiao Lingling had already prepared a large basin of water for everyone to wash, and was waiting at the door with a teapot that had been specially cooled.
When they finally saw someone coming back, they would happily shout to the yard, "Grandma, grandma, grandpa and the others are back!"
Lin Changshu and his companions were leading the donkey back, carrying various tools in their hands.
However, the focus is not this, but Jiang Xinian who comes later.
When Xiao Lingling saw him, she was in shock, her mouth opened so wide that it looked like she could swallow an egg in one bite.
When someone approached, she finally came to her senses, "Master, you, you fell into the mud?"
Jiang Xinian looked so miserable, with a thick layer of mud covering his body and even his head. If his face hadn't been relatively clean, Xiao Lingling would have not been able to recognize him.
Jiang Xinian was so frustrated today that he didn't want to talk at all, not even to pay attention to his little apprentice. He walked into the yard pitifully alone, turned around and went back to his room.
It was the first time that Little Bell had seen her master so low-key. She looked at Lin Changshu curiously, then approached him and whispered, "Grandpa, what's wrong with my master?"
Lin Changshu was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that the flesh on his face was shaking.
"Your master is fine, just a little tired. Be good, little bell, don't disturb him. Let your master have a good rest."
Xiao Lingling looked at his strange expression, and a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes.
She nodded superficially, turned around and ran back to the room, took out a small water-light mirror from the space, and placed the book given by her master on the back of the mirror.
After the water mirror absorbed Jiang Xinian's breath, little bell waved her hand at the water mirror, and it immediately began to show the scene of Jiang Xinian working in the fields in the afternoon.
Xiao Lingling watched for a long time and finally saw the most important scene.
At that time, Jiang Xinian was driving a donkey to plow the field. The donkey didn't know what was wrong. Jiang Xinian slapped it several times but it refused to move.
Jiang Xinian was furious. He pulled out a silver needle from somewhere and stabbed it into the donkey's butt.
The donkey roared in pain and suddenly rushed forward. Jiang Xinian, who was holding the reins, was pulled down by the force and fell flat on his face in the mud...
When Xiao Lingling saw this scene, she couldn't help herself and immediately started laughing wildly.
Everyone in the yard was frightened by her and rushed into the room.
Fortunately, Xiao Lingling was quick and put away the water mirror in time.
But the way she laughed with snot and tears still scared everyone.
"What's wrong? Why are you laughing like this? Little Bell? Calm down, or you might get a choke from laughing!"
"That's right, what's wrong with this girl? Why does she look a bit like me when I smiled this afternoon? Dad?"
Lin Feng looked at Lin Changshu suspiciously, thinking that he was the one who told Xiao Lingdang about Uncle Jiang's fall.
However, Lin Changshu was also confused. Well, he didn't have that kind of bad taste.
After all, Jiang Xinian is Xiao Lingdang's master, so how could an apprentice laugh at his master's rules?
In the end, no one could guess what was going on. Little Bell laughed for a full quarter of an hour before slowly stopping.
The whole person was like a flower beaten by rain. She had no strength left and collapsed into a ball. Tears were still hanging on her eyelashes. She looked pitiful and covered her stomach which hurt from laughing.
By the time everyone sat down at the table to eat, Xiao Lingling was still a little dazed.
Lin Changshu looked at the large table of food with some surprise, "Old lady, today's dinner is quite sumptuous, isn't it?"
Zhao sighed, "Most of it is left over from lunch. Today, the builders that Brother Jiang mentioned are here.
I originally wanted to invite them to have lunch, but they were in a hurry to go back to draw, so they didn't eat, so there was a lot left over.
You're all tired from working in the fields, so eat more!"
After Jiang Xinian washed up, he changed his clothes and felt much better.
"It's okay. Old He is just like that. He doesn't care about anything else when he's working. But he does have some real skills. You'll see when the drawings are delivered tomorrow."
Everyone nodded in agreement, but nothing further was said. Perhaps they were tired from a long day's work, so they were too engrossed in their meal to engage in small talk.
Even the children looked listless because they had been forced to study for a whole day.
It was not until after dinner that Little Bell quietly slipped to the backyard.
Several brothers were attracted by her and followed her quietly, but in order not to disturb her, they hid aside.
Little Bell had a clear goal. She ran straight to the donkey Xiao Hei and touched its head.
Xiao Hei was very close to her and lowered his head automatically, which made Xiao Lingling very happy.
"Xiao Hei, why did you bully my master today? You're not a good boy! Although my master can be a little fierce sometimes, he's very kind to us. Don't bully him tomorrow, okay?"
Xiao Hei obviously understood what she said. He turned his head away proudly and swept his tail across Jiang Xinian's butt, as if accusing Jiang Xinian of being "cruel".
Xiao Lingdang remembered that her master had pricked Xiao Hei's butt with a silver needle. She felt speechless and patted Xiao Hei's neck with her little hand.
"Little Black, dear Master, emmmmm, it's also Master's first time going to the ground. It's normal that I don't know how to cooperate with you. Don't be angry.
I promise, Master will never prick your buttocks with silver needles again, okay? Be good~~~"
While comforting Xiao Hei, Xiao Lingling also used her little hands to feed him water from the spirit pool, which coaxed Xiao Hei into obeying her will.
The children hiding on the other side only realized what was going on. When they thought of Jiang Xinian's muddy appearance before, someone suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xiao Lingling immediately looked over and smiled at them. She had known that there were people over there, but she didn't expect them to be so impatient.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, cousin, little brother, why are you all here?"
Qin Yu, who originally wanted to leave the team quietly, paused slightly and felt a little annoyed after hearing what Xiao Lingling said.
If I had known he would leave earlier!
When everyone saw that Xiao Lingling saw them, they stopped hiding and all ran over.
"Xiao Lingling, were you talking to Xiao Hei just now?" Lin Wu asked curiously.
"Yes, Xiao Hei is so well behaved. I am praising him!"
"Little sister, are you sure Xiao Hei can understand?" Lin Ran looked at Xiao Hei with shining eyes.
"Hmm. How can you not understand? If you don't believe me, try it!"
"Hey, Xiao Hei, can you let me touch your butt? Just for a second, be good and don't move!"
Lin Ran rubbed his hands together, a badass smile still on his face.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh..."
“Puff~~~”
"Ah! It hurts! Xiao Hei! You have no martial ethics. I just touched you, and you kicked me?"
