Liu Guojun pointed out the direction of the vegetable greenhouse to Liu Bao'er.
Do you know where she lives?
Like a thief, Liu Guojun looked around and then discreetly pointed in one direction.
"Alright, go ahead and get busy."
Liu Bao'er skipped and hopped away.
"Baby, don't run too far. Just play on the side. Come home after a while. Don't worry your mom."
Liu Guojun shouted from behind, pretending to be serious.
Liu Bao'er waved her little hand, "Okay."
"Hey, this kid." Liu Guojun said with a helpless expression.
Someone chimed in, "Old Liu, let's become godparents. It'll be a win-win situation for you to have another person to dote on your nephew."
Liu Guojun's face showed even more helplessness:
"She's too naughty. If I say anything too mild, it won't work. If I say anything too harsh, I can't bear to."
"Old Liu, that's not fair. You know we're all old bachelors, and you're still trying to annoy us."
"No, no."
Liu Guojun had no way to express his bitterness. If it were really possible to give it away, he would have given it away long ago. Who would have their life in danger if they had such a thing?
Liu Bao'er headed straight for the vegetable greenhouse, but halfway there, she thought it was almost noon and Zuo Ling might have already gone home, so she changed direction and headed towards Zuo Ling's house.
Still recovering from serious injuries and too small in form, he was breathless as he walked through the vast plantation.
To avoid attracting attention, I tried to walk in less crowded areas, which resulted in me taking a longer route.
When we arrived at Zuo Ling's house, it was already noon, and the aroma of food wafted from the courtyard.
Zuo Ling hadn't arrived home yet; Pei Nansheng was cooking.
After returning from Sichuan, he stayed at home and didn't go to the market, mainly because he was afraid of the matchmakers who came to propose marriage to him. He wanted to wait until things calmed down before going.
The three little ones were having a great time in the yard, playfully pouncing on each other.
Liu Bao'er concealed herself and quietly observed.
A swing chair, newly made by Pei Nansheng, was placed in a corner of the yard. The chair was coated with tung oil to maintain the original color of the wood.
A fence was built on one side of the swing chair, half of which was covered with flowering vines and the other half with grapevines.
The flowering vines were weakly blooming with a few small yellow flowers, and the grapevines were just beginning to climb the pea vines, sparse and scattered.
In one half of the courtyard, there was a rough, low stone table, a few stools, and some exercise equipment. A pedicab was parked on one side.
The other half of the yard is planted with vegetables: red and yellow persimmons, broad beans that can be eaten as beans, two kinds of cucumbers, yellow cabbage that looks like flowers, and eggplants that are purple and glossy...
Liu Bao'er was furious; they were living such a comfortable life!
Waterfall suddenly felt a chill all over its body and patted Ah Si with its little paw.
Ah Si twitched its ears and nose, smelling a very unpleasant odor.
The dog raises its front paw. Why aren't you playing anymore? What are you doing?
Ah Si darted out the door, startling Waterfall, who then leaped onto the dog's back.
Awooo... Ah Si howled at Liu Bao'er, sensing hostility emanating from him.
Yes, hostility, very strong hostility.
Awooo... Ah Si howled again.
"Let's fight!" The dog perked up and dashed out the door.
Woof, woof, woof.
The waterfall was slippery; just before the dog started moving, it jumped off the dog's back again, darted to the door, poked its head out of the doorway, and had most of its body inside.
You two idiots, you go ahead and fight, I'll just watch the show.
Liu Bao'er clenched her little fists and glared fiercely at A Si and Gouzi. Damn it, how dare those two beasts bare their teeth at this elder.
At that moment, Liu Bao'er really wanted to kill the two little ones at all costs.
The two little ones felt that the person in front of them was a ferocious beast disguised as a doll. Their shoulders and necks tensed, they assumed an attack stance, and they screamed even more fiercely.
Just as she was about to make a move, she heard footsteps behind her. All of Liu Bao'er's strength vanished, and she sat back down, bursting into tears.
The two little ones, no, the three little ones were dumbfounded.
The wolf and the dog took two steps back, and the waterfall burst out from the doorway.
What are you doing?
Zuo Ling went home for lunch and saw in the distance a wolf and a dog confronting a child.
The three little ones couldn't answer. They glared at Liu Bao'er, thinking, "What an unethical guy! You provoked me first, and now you're pretending to be innocent. You're shameless!"
Zuo Ling helped Liu Bao'er up; the little girl was in tears, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.
When Zuo Ling overheard the people at the plantation chatting, they mentioned Liu Bao'er, and she had also met Liu Bao'er's uncle.
Seeing how young he was, I immediately knew that Liu Bao'er was the golden baby that had been making headlines recently.
"How did you end up here? Who brought you here?"
Liu Bao'er didn't answer, she cried and hiccuped.
The three little ones were furious, howling... howling... howling...
Woof woof woof, woof woof.
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo.
Zuo Ling was puzzled. What was wrong with the three little ones?
Seeing that things were not going well, Liu Bao'er turned around and threw herself into Zuo Ling's arms, crying even more bitterly.
The three little ones were furious. The waterfall slammed onto Zuo Ling, and their little paws kept kicking and hitting Liu Bao'er.
Ah Si and Gouzi, one on the left and one on the right, opened their mouths wide, ready to bite Liu Bao'er.
