Chapter 285 Fantastic Beasts
"My dear girl, what's your responsibility?"
Old Mrs. Xu came out of the house, first waved to Lu Mudan, and then touched the hair on Fubao's head.
Fubao looked at his mother, smiled triumphantly, raised his finger and pointed at the young prince of Yan: "Junior brother"
Then he pointed at himself and said, "I, Senior Sister!"
"Mom, am I awesome?"
“…”
Old Mrs. Xu was speechless. What was so amazing about this? Two little kids, what was there to compare? However, in order to take care of her daughter's emotions, Old Mrs. Xu still firmly raised her thumb and said, "Fubao is really amazing!"
Fubao laughed, she didn't care whether her mother was sincere or just perfunctory, anyway, she achieved her goal.
Now, she actually doesn’t need to pretend to be a child anymore. She feels like a child herself.
This feeling, well, is like an actor who has already immersed himself in the role he is playing.
Fubao was too lazy to adjust his thinking. It was fine this way anyway. Children should act like children, happy when they should be happy and spoiled when they should be spoiled.
Of course, the most important thing is that children have the privilege of being pampered.
When Lu Mudan started talking to Old Mrs. Xu, Fubao climbed onto the old turtle's back and let it carry him out for a walk.
Nowadays in Lingshui Village, everyone knows that the daughter of the Xu family is growing very fast.
As for Fubao sitting on the old turtle, the villagers didn't think anything of it. Perhaps it was because during the drought, the old turtle had helped the villagers find a lot of water sources for wells, so the villagers were quite respectful of the old turtle.
The name of Master Roshi is taken more and more seriously.
As for Fu Bao, he was considered to be very spiritual, so he was favored by the Turtle Hermit.
Because of this, Fubao is now also a treasure of the village.
At the beginning, whenever Fubao went out for a stroll on the old turtle, Old Lady Xu would follow him. But now, as long as Lichun followed, Old Lady Xu no longer worried.
After leaving home, Fubao went to see the progress of his new house as usual. Although he saw it every day, the new house looked different every day.
Fubao sat on the old turtle and naturally came to the pond in the backyard of the new house and looked at the golden little carp raised in it.
Fubao comes to see this little golden carp almost every day.
And every time she came over, as long as she put her hands or feet in the water, the little golden carp would swim over quickly and circle around Fubao's fingers or feet.
What an amazing little carp!
So much so that Fubao was wondering, could it be that this little thing is really going to become a spirit?
"Maybe we should plant lotus or water lily or something like that."
Looking at the empty pond, Fubao suddenly felt that something was missing. Then, she remembered that a few days ago, when she followed her father to the county town to celebrate her fourth uncle's birthday, there was also a small pond in the backyard of the county government office, and it was planted with water lilies.
Once this thought came to mind, I couldn't suppress it.
So Fubao pulled the old turtle and made it turn its head.
It’s really mysterious.
This old turtle seemed to understand Fubao's thoughts.
When Fubao climbed onto the old turtle's back for the first time, she just thought it would be nice if the old turtle could carry her around and see the sights. Then, the old turtle really carried her out.
Later, she only needed to pat the old turtle's shell, and the old turtle could accurately determine the direction. It would not carry her all the time, but would walk and stop.
Unfortunately, Fubao couldn't communicate with Lao Bie.
The old turtle seemed to understand her thoughts, but she didn't know what the old turtle was thinking.
Even the giant river clam, which occasionally comes out to bask in the sun, will greet Fubao.
Fubao didn't know whether that counted as a greeting or not, but when the river clam saw her, its shell would open and close.
…
Lao Bie quickly brought Fubao to Mr. Xu.
Old Master Xu was talking to Niu Dali about the carved windows in their new home. When he saw Fubao coming over, he immediately picked her up with a smile.
"Uncle Niu, okay!"
Seeing Niu Dali, Fubao immediately greeted him politely.
When the waterwheel was being built in the village, Niu Dali appeared in Fubao's sight for the first time, and then she was amazed by Uncle Niu's knife skills.
Of course, what shocked Fubao even more was that Uncle Niu ran a coffin shop.
Frankly speaking, if his father hadn't told him, Fubao would never have imagined that Uncle Niu, who is so big and strong and laughs so loudly, actually does this kind of business.
Some people may think that it is unlucky to associate with such people, but Fubao has no taboos.
After all, you have to be grateful for what you have received!
Niu Dali carved a lot of small gadgets for Fubao, which were much more exquisite than those that Fubao asked his second brother to buy for the dragon boat race.
"Oh my, little Fubao is getting more and more powerful!"
"certainly!"
Fubao raised his head proudly.
After his father finished talking to Niu Dali, Fubao waved goodbye to them obediently.
Then, Fubao reached out and grabbed his father's beard, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the pond, "Flowers, plant flowers!"
She is a good girl and won't make trouble when adults are talking about serious matters.
"Pond, plant flowers!"
"nice!"
"Fourth Uncle, flowers!"
With these words, Fubao's meaning has been expressed very clearly.
Mr. Xu naturally understood.
"Well, tomorrow I'll ask your third brother to go find your fourth uncle and bring back some flowers!"
"Dad, Third Brother, exam!"
Fubao was also drunk after hearing what his father said.
Her third brother had just left for the provincial capital two days ago to prepare for this year's provincial examination.
If he passed, her third brother would have successfully become a juren.
"Oh, yes, the third brother went to the capital. Look at my memory, I was so busy that I forgot everything!"
Old Master Xu patted his head, he really had forgotten about it.
Fubao raised his hands to cover his eyes, unable to bear to look.
She was also puzzled. In this family, her third brother's presence was always low. And her third sister-in-law often stayed in the house, embroidering all day long.
No matter how good the weather is, she stays indoors.
On the contrary, the eldest and second sisters-in-law would talk in the yard every day when they were not busy.
Occasionally her third sister-in-law would join in, but the topic would soon run out.
Fu Bao observed it several times and finally came to a conclusion. No wonder people at that time paid attention to the matching of social status in marriage. If the two families were not evenly matched, there would be no chance of success.
Her third sister-in-law was well-educated and spoke in a rather literary manner, with occasional touches of emotion, the kind that expressed melancholy about the passing of time.
Her elder and second sister-in-law both came from farming families. They grew up in similar environments and had a lot in common.
After observing for a few times, Fubao probably understood his third sister-in-law's psychology. They could not find common language and lacked a sense of identity.
It was probably only her third brother who could get along with her third sister-in-law. After all, she could see that when the couple were together, they would always show off their love from time to time.
Sometimes, Fubao also admires his parents very much.
Look at the three daughters-in-law he married, they definitely married the right people.
If his eldest brother were to marry a wife like his third sister-in-law, I'm afraid his eldest brother would be depressed to death.
As for her second brother, Fubao didn't feel anything, because her second brother was slow to react and could probably adapt to any kind of wife. As for whether she could adapt to being his wife, only God knew.
For a moment, Fubao's thoughts drifted away.
Of course, when Fubao was being carried home by Mr. Xu, he remembered the dream he had.
At first he just thought it was funny, but now, Fubao understood.
Her third brother will definitely pass the imperial examination this time.
That dream was clearly a different interpretation of the story of catching a son-in-law from the list. I just wonder if the daughter of the family that caught her third brother is really twice as tall as him.
"My girl, what are you laughing at? You look so happy?"
Old Master Xu was walking very fast with Fubao in his arms. When he was nearing the door, he inadvertently saw the smile on Fubao's face.
"Third brother!"
"Well……"
When Mr. Xu heard Fubao talking about his youngest son, he felt a little ashamed.
Of the three sons, the youngest son was a successful student, but in this family, his presence was the lowest. This was not the first time he had forgotten about his youngest son.
Fu Bao had no idea that his casual words would make his father reflect on himself.
When she returned home, Fubao remembered that she and her father had returned, but where was Lao Bie?
Then, after Fubao played in the yard for a while, the old turtle came back, still moving slowly and steadily.
"Old turtle, old turtle, you know what I'm thinking, right?"
"Are you a spirit?"
"If you understand, just nod."
Fubao came close to the old turtle and whispered.
Then, under her gaze, the old turtle nodded. His small, green bean-like eyes seemed to sparkle with a special light.
"Old turtle, you, you have become a spirit?"
Then, the old turtle shook his head, really shook his head.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Fubao is no longer calm, he really can't remain calm.
Old turtle, he actually understood what she said.
Unfortunately, the old turtle said it did not become a spirit.
So, here comes the question.
"Old turtle, old turtle, are you not yet at the stage of becoming a spirit, or are you unable to become a spirit?"
"If it's not at the level of a spirit, just nod your head. Otherwise, just shake your head!"
Then the old turtle shook his head again.
Okay, Fubao understands, there is no such thing as becoming a spirit.
As for why the old turtle is so magical, it is probably because it has lived for too long.
But why can't it become a spirit?
Even something as magical as time travel exists, so how come becoming a spirit doesn't exist? Fu Bao expressed some sadness. She actually really wanted to become an empress and suppress the heavens.
Maybe she would become an empress, and directly cross time and space, returning to the time before she traveled through time.
She just bought a house and paid the down payment, but hasn’t even moved in yet!
Of course, the most important thing is that the novel she is following has not been completed yet, and the drama she is watching is still being serialized. Although the ending has been released, she is so stingy that she will not arrange any advance screenings.
If she had known this would be the result, she would never be stingy again.
