Chapter 346: Twinkle, Twinkle, Firefly [Update]
"Xiaochuan, remember, if you have a fight, look for my brother—"
Just saying.
I heard two popping sounds!
Someone got spanked.
Zhao Guifen had a loud voice, and even though she was nowhere to be seen, her voice could still be heard.
"What are you fighting for? Do you think Xiaochuan is just like you two brothers, who only know how to fight and not learn? Xiaochuan is being bullied! Do you know what it means to be bullied? Fighting back after being bullied is called... called... proper self-defense!"
"Xiaochuan is not only sensible, but also a good student. He has only been in school for a few days, but his handwriting is better than both of yours. What do you call handwriting? It's just like dog crawling. It makes me feel sick when I see it."
"You two, when can you let me worry less and learn more from Xiaochuan, do you know?"
Da Huzi and Er Huzi were grimacing in pain.
"Mom, your Iron Palm has evolved again. It hurts even more when you hit someone."
"Mom, my butt is going to be broken into four pieces..."
The two brothers, Da Huzi and Er Huzi, were quarreling with each other.
In the meantime, Zhao Guosheng's voice was heard.
"Chongshan, do you want to drink? White wine, I'll treat you."
Zhao Guifen angrily scolded: "What are you drinking? What was your behavior like last time when you drank? You threw the person away and forgot to pick him up?"
On the hot summer night, the noisy sounds never stopped.
Wait until you finish your meal.
Jiang Rou took out the icy cold watermelon from the water tank.
As soon as the blade lightly touched the watermelon rind, the whole watermelon split open.
Good melon!
Under the dim light, you can see the emerald green rind, the red flesh, and the black seeds.
Jiang Rou handed half a watermelon to Zhou Xiaochuan.
"Xiaochuan, send the watermelon to Aunt Zhao. We will treat them to watermelon."
"good."
Zhou Xiaochuan held a watermelon that was bigger than his head and walked to the next yard.
Normally, Zhou Xiaohua would definitely follow along happily.
But the current situation.
The little girl only has sweet watermelon in her eyes.
Swish!
Suck your saliva!
Jiang Rou cut the watermelon into small pieces, took the pulp from the center and handed it to Zhou Xiaohua.
"Xiaohua, eat."
Zhou Xiaohua took it happily, and the dimples on her face appeared again.
She licked her little lips.
But I'm not in a hurry to eat
Instead, he gave it to Jiang Rou.
[It's sweet and pointed, and mom eats it. ]
Under the little girl's sparkling gaze, Jiang Rou took a small bite.
"Okay, Mom has already eaten, now you eat."
Only then did Zhou Xiaohua start to take big bites.
Jiang Rou looked at her, and not only did her mouth feel sweet, but her heart also felt sweet.
As Zhou Xiaochuan's watermelon was delivered, noises were heard from the next yard.
"Sister Rou, such a big watermelon... and it's still cold... it's really great... Eat yours today, I'll treat you guys another day."
"Okay, Sister Guifen, the watermelon you picked will definitely be sweet."
Jiang Rou also answered loudly.
This night.
After the power outage.
Every household went outside and sat in the yard to enjoy the cool breeze. Some people even clamored to go for a walk to the beach, where the wind was stronger and the air was cooler.
Jiang Rou disliked the sticky sea breeze, so she didn't go out.
Zhou Chongshan placed several long wooden benches in the yard, put a wooden board on top, and covered it with a cool mat.
He said.
"Wife, it's too hot in the first half of the night to stay in the house. Let's sleep outside first. When the temperature drops in the second half of the night, we can go inside."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The wall of the small courtyard was high enough, so it wouldn't be a big deal as long as no one liked to lean on the wall like Zhao Guifen did.
In hot weather, keeping cool is the most important thing.
A family of four lay on the hard wooden board, looking at the starry sky under the black night sky.
The sky was clear and cloudless, and the stars were exceptionally bright and clear.
Twinkle, twinkle.
Sparkling.
Jiang Rou pointed at the stars and said, "Does it look like the stars are winking at us?"
It was the first time for Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua to lie down and look at the stars. Although the two children seemed silent, they were actually very happy in their hearts.
In silence.
Zhou Xiaochuan suddenly said, "The stars are moving."
"Of course the stars move. They are constantly moving, little by little, across the sky."
"It's not just a little bit, it's the stars flying."
Zhou Xiaochuan suddenly sat up.
He cupped his hands and clasped them in the air, as if he had caught something.
Did he catch a star?
Jiang Rou and Zhou Xiaohua both curiously moved over and looked into his palm.
Zhou Xiaochuan put his hands in front of him.
Gently, open your closed hands.
I saw a bright light in the palm of his hand, twinkling like stars.
"It's a firefly!"
Jiang Rou was surprised and suddenly shouted out.
Zhou Xiaohua was shocked.
Zhou Chongshan also turned his gaze to her.
Jiang Rou smiled brightly, her clear eyes fixed on the small cluster of light.
【Pictures of Fireflies】
"Xiaohua, look, this is a firefly."
"This place is his butt. It flashes like a little light bulb."
"Fireflies only exist in the summer, and their life span is short, only a few months. But every summer, new fireflies emerge."
Zhou Xiaohua listened to Jiang Rou's explanation, and curiously reached out to touch the tiny firefly.
The firefly crawled to Zhou Xiaohua's fingertips.
The light flickered and flickered.
She was staring.
The firefly suddenly spread its wings and flew away.
Zhou Xiaohua wanted to catch him, but it was too late.
"Xiaohua, don't grab it. It will come back soon. We just need to wait quietly and be patient."
This night.
The fireflies really came back just as Jiang Rou said.
Not just one, but three or four.
Like a family.
They flew in the air and landed on the cucumber leaves in the yard, shining brightly.
Like the stars are all around them.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was late night.
The temperature is slightly cool.
Jiang Rou was originally sleeping on a hard wooden board and her body was aching.
When I turned around, I felt a comfortable touch, soft and hard.
Still warm.
She was not sleeping soundly and opened her eyes drowsily. After she adjusted herself a little, she could see clearly that she was being held by Zhou Chongshan and there was light.
"Chongshan, is there a call?"
"Yes, the call just came in. I have brought Xiaochuan and Xiaohua back to the room, you don't have to worry."
Jiang Rou was not worried about the two children. With Zhou Chongshan taking care of them, there would be no problem.
But...
She blushed slightly, "You can wake me up..."
She is so grown up, but I still have to take her back. It would be too embarrassing if someone saw it."
Zhou Chongshan just walked into the room.
He put Jiang Rou down gently.
Jiang Rou buried her head in the soft pillow, with her long black hair loose behind her head.
Between the hair, red ears and hot cheeks appeared.
Light pink.
Very tempting.
"Wife..."
Zhou Chongshan's voice suddenly became low and hoarse, and a strong sense of longing was about to emerge.
