Xu Ning had just finished sweeping the house when he saw Lu Xiaotang coming back with a stern face.
Niu Niu and Pi Pi followed behind sobbing, their clothes and shoes were not on properly, and they looked pitiful and embarrassed.
When Tangtang saw her mother, she let go of brother Xiaohui’s hand and ran over to stand beside her.
Xu Ning patted her head, ignored the two boys, and asked Lu Xiaotang with a smile: "You're back just in time, please help carry the bed in.
I cleaned up two rooms first, one for Zhang Sheng and one for Wei Dajun. If anyone else came later, I would let them clean up by themselves. ”
Lu Xiaotang smiled and nodded, and the two went to the east wing.
Xiaohui glanced at Niu Niu Pipi and didn't dare to speak for them. He prepared to take Tangtang back to the house first. It was too hot today, with the temperature outside exceeding 30 degrees.
But Tangtang shook her head, stood beside her two brothers and said, "Brother Xiaohui, please go into the house. I'll stay here with my brothers."
Xiaohui saw three people standing in the scorching sun. Niu Niu and Pi Pi's faces were all red from crying, but they stood there and dared not move.
He also went to the east wing and saw his godfather and godmother talking and laughing there, completely ignoring the three children standing outside.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but before he could open his mouth, Lu Xiaotang interrupted him with a smile, "Xiaohui, go back first and tell your parents to come over here for dinner in the evening."
"Okay, godfather, I'll go back first."
He walked to the door, turned around and said, "Godfather, godmother, it's too hot today, let the brothers and sisters come in and drink some water!"
Lu Xiaotang smiled and said, "I see. You go back first and come over with your parents in the evening."
Xiaohui nodded, walked out of the room, and saw Niupitang kneeling there.
Big drops of sweat slid down from their heads. Niu Niu and Pippi didn't dare to cry anymore. The three of them lowered their heads.
Hearing the footsteps, several people looked up, saw that it was him, and shouted, "Brother Xiaohui." Then they lowered their heads again.
Xiaohui wanted to go into the house to pour them some water, but then he remembered that Uncle Lu didn't even let him finish his words, so he said hello to the three of them and went back.
Xu Ning stood at the window and peeked out, then asked with a smile, "What's going on?"
Lu Xiaotang told his wife what had just happened.
After listening to this, Xu Ning felt scared. These two brats were not beaten lightly. They had just learned how to splash around in the water, but they dared to dive in.
She thought Lu Xiaotang's beating was not light enough, so she picked up the broom and walked out.
Lu Xiaotang stopped her with a smile, "Don't hit me anymore. I hit you hard just now. Both of your butts turned red."
Xu Ning felt distressed again after hearing this. He glared at him and said complainingly, "Why are you using so much strength? Two gentle taps will do.
They are so small and their skin is so tender. What if they are hurt? Isn’t that your biological son? ”
Lu Xiaotang: “…” Just now she complained that he hit her too lightly, and now she complains that he hit her too hard.
He said helplessly: "It won't be broken. I know my limits."
Xu Ning then smiled and asked him, "What should we do now? How long do you plan to make them kneel outside?"
He glanced at his watch and smiled, "I was going to punish them to stand for 45 minutes, but they were smart and knelt down on their own, so let's make it 10 minutes."
The two of them made the bed, spread the cool mat they bought on the bed, and put a thin quilt on it.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Xiaotang walked to the yard and said to the three people kneeling there, "Tangtang, go to the kitchen and drink some mung bean soup! Niu Niu and Pi Pi, come in with me."
Tangtang shook her head and said, "Dad, I'll drink with my brother later."
"Tangtang, be obedient. I have something to say to your brothers. Go to the kitchen to find mom first."
Tangtang looked at her two brothers worriedly, then stood up from the ground, rubbed her knees, and went to the kitchen.
Lu Xiaotang turned around and went to the main room. Niu Niu and Pi Pi stood up from the ground, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and followed their father into the house.
He sat there, looked at the two guys standing in front of him, and asked, "Do you know why I beat you today?"
Niu Niu raised his head and said tearfully, "Dad, my brother and I know we were wrong. We shouldn't have dived into the water.
When Dad and Brother Xiaohui called us, we didn't listen and just showed off. ”
Pipi cried and said, "Dad, please forgive us this time. We won't dare to do it again. Our butts hurt so much, wuwu, wuwuwu."
"Hmph, now you know your butt hurts. If you dare to do that again next time, it won't just be your butt that hurts."
Lu Xiaotang glanced at his two sons and said earnestly, "Niuniu, Pipi, you two are already five years old.
Dad works in the army and can't come home every day, so you two are the pillars of the family.
If something happens to you, won’t our family fall apart? How sad your mother and sister must be. ”
