Grandpa Qi said helplessly: "Brother San, my yard is empty anyway. If the child lives with me for a while, I will have to collect rent from him. What kind of person will I be then?"
Old Chen shook his head and said, "No, although we have a good relationship, one thing is one thing. You must collect the rent. If you don't, I will let Erdan rent a house outside."
Grandpa Qi had no choice but to agree to it first and prepare to charge a symbolic amount of money later to avoid arguing with this old man here.
Ever since Niupitang learned to swim, he asks his father to take them to swim a few laps in the nearby river after breakfast every day.
There is a lake not far from their home, where children from the neighborhood often go swimming.
Niu Niu and Pipi were swimming around in the water in their small shorts, while Tangtang was wearing a vest and shorts, following behind her two brothers.
Their movements were already very skilled, but their postures were a little funny. Their two legs were kicking quickly in the water, and their fat bodies were floating on top, like three little piglets.
Lu Xiaotang was afraid that he couldn't look after the three of them alone, so he asked Xiaohui to come over and help look after them on the shore.
Niu Niu and Pi Pi saw Brother Xiao Hui sitting on the shore and called out to him from the water, "Brother Xiao Hui, come down too. It's cool in the water."
Xiaohui waved his hand and said, "I won't swim today. I didn't bring my swimming trunks. I'll swim with you guys tomorrow."
Pipi laughed and said, "Brother Xiaohui, why are you wearing swimming trunks? Look at us two brothers, we just came down in shorts, aren't you wearing any shorts?"
Xiaohui's face turned red with embarrassment at his words. He glared at him angrily and thought, "You little brat, you're not wearing any underwear."
I thought everyone else was as shameless as you two, running around in just your shorts.
Looking at that body of fat, he doesn't feel embarrassed and even says that he is cute because he is chubby.
Seeing that brother Xiaohui blushed, Pippi swam to Niu Niu with a smile, and the two brothers made naughty eyes at each other.
Xiaohui picked up a stone from the ground and threw it next to the two of them.
The two brothers pinched their noses and dived into the water, not coming out for several seconds.
Lu Xiaotang and Xiaohui were both anxious, shouting "Niuniu Pipi" and preparing to jump into the water.
Tangtang was so scared that her face turned pale, and she fluttered around and shouted, "Brother, brother."
The two brothers broke out of the water, kicking their legs, and laughing triumphantly.
Lu Xiaotang and Xiaohui breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two of them were fine.
Before the two men could speak, the brothers dived into the water again.
They ignored their father and brother Xiaohui’s calls for them and this time it took them even longer to come out of the water.
The two of them tread on the water, looking at their father and brother Xiaohui proudly.
Lu Xiaotang said with a dark face: "Everyone come up."
Niu Niu and Pi Pi didn't realize their father was angry yet, and they said coquettishly, "Dad, you've only been here for a while, can you let us play for a while longer?"
He said calmly: "I will count to two. If you don't come up, forget about swimming again."
Although his voice was gentle, the two brothers knew that their father was angry, and they were so scared that they swam towards the shore quickly.
Tangtang had been carried up by Xiaohui and was sitting there putting on her own little sandals.
She glared at her two brothers, who became more and more naughty and not obedient at all.
Dad and brother Xiaohui shouted from above, but they didn't respond and even hid in the water on purpose to scare everyone.
Now, Dad is angry and he will definitely punish them later.
Niu Niu and Pi Pi had just climbed ashore and had no time to put on their clothes when Lu Xiaotang slapped them in the face, "pa pa pa".
The two brothers covered their buttocks, tears in their eyes, and looked at their father with grievance.
Dad had never hit them before, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel. After just two hits, their buttocks were burning with pain.
Lu Xiaotang said with a cold face, "Go back." Then he turned around and walked back.
Niu Niu and Pipi put on their shoes and put on their vests while running behind their father.
Xiaohui followed behind holding Tangtang's hand. He found it very funny to see the two brothers wearing their shoes incorrectly, their vests backwards, and holding their buttocks in a funny way.
Tangtang sighed. It was not easy for them to get their dad to take them out for a swim because of their two careless brothers, but now everything was ruined by them.
It may not be so easy for the three of them to go out swimming again in the future.
Xu Ning is now cleaning up a few other rooms at home. Zhang Sheng and Wei Dajun are coming here soon, and she plans to let them live here.
In the past two days, she and Lu Xiaotang have bought all the pots, pans, and utensils so that they can cook for themselves when they come.
There is a small piece of land next to the kitchen. Yesterday, Lu Xiaotang spread some green vegetables and planted some green onions.
Zhang Sheng is from the north and likes to put some chopped green onions when eating noodles. Lu Xiaotang always remembered that he grew these specially for his brother.
