"Ah?" Bai An looked up at Cui Ju, who was half a head taller than him. He was a little confused and muttered, "I have never done farm work before."
When Cui Ju heard Bai An say this, her eyes widened slightly and she looked at Bai An in surprise, "You've never done farm work?"
Bai An nodded softly.
Cui Ju listened to Bai An's soft voice and looked at her fair and tender face with some baby fat.
Well, if it were her, she wouldn't be willing to do so.
Da Zhuang also came over at this time, carrying the three full baskets, "How come you run so fast!"
Cui Ju took the two baskets from Da Zhuang's hands and smiled softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"You also know how hard it is." Da Zhuang sat down on the grass, "Why didn't you think it would be hard for me when you gave me the basket just now?"
"Okay." Cui Ju glanced at Da Zhuang on the ground, "A few baskets have made you so tired."
"What do you mean a few baskets make me so tired?" Da Zhuang said a little aggrievedly, "From that place just now to here, you ran so fast, who wouldn't be tired?"
...
...
Bai An saw that they seemed to be about to make trouble again, so he quickly took his basket and said, "It's getting late, we should go back."
Cui Ju curled her lips at Da Zhuang, took Bai An's hand and walked back.
Da Zhuang also followed them with his basket.
"Mom!" Bai An ran into the kitchen excitedly, "Look what I picked."
Wanqing looked at Bai An in front of her, who looked like a little cat, with his clothes covered with dead grass and stains.
With some amusement, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped Bai An's little face, "Where have you been? Why did you make yourself so dirty?"
Looking down, he saw the wild vegetables in Bai An's basket, "Did you go to pick wild vegetables? Bai An is awesome."
Bai An was very pleased with her mother's praise. She handed the basket to her mother and said excitedly, "Then Mom, please make this dish tonight."
Wanqing smiled and tapped Bai An's nose, "Sure."
Because of Bai An's help, Wanqing no longer has to work to earn work points. She can concentrate on taking care of her husband and children at home. Her complexion is becoming more and more rosy and lustrous, and she looks extremely beautiful.
Just as Bai An was humming a song while watching her mother grow vegetables outside, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her collar.
Bai An turned around suddenly and said, "Brother, you scared me."
Lu Jinan lowered his eyes and looked at Bai An's dirty appearance, frowning, "You got your clothes so dirty even when you went out to play. Your clothes are the hardest to wash among all the family members."
Bai An broke free from Lu Jinan's hands, looked at himself, left and right, and didn't think he was very dirty.
"Don't you think your clothes are dirty enough?" Lu Jin'an knew what Bai An was thinking as soon as he saw her expression. "Next time if you make your clothes so dirty, wash your own clothes."
"Do you know you are wrong?"
Seeing Bai An's unmoved look, Lu Jinan really felt that his patience was about to run out on her.
"I'm asking you a question. Do you know you're wrong?"
"I know!!!"
Bai An put his hands to his mouth like a trumpet and shouted with all his might.
"Bai An!"
Lu Jinan looked at Bai An's running back, feeling a little disappointed and rubbed his brows with his hands.
Wanqing heard Bai An's roar and came out curiously to see what happened, but she only saw Lu Jinan.
He said with some amusement: "Bai An is just like that by nature, he has a childish temper."
"I know, Mom." Lu Jinan thought about Bai An's expression just now, and couldn't help showing her doting expression, "She's good like this."
"By the way, you can't wash clothes for Bai An anymore. She's grown up now, she should wash her own clothes." Wan Qing sat at the door, picking at the tips of vegetables. "Starting tomorrow, let her wash her own clothes."
"No need, let me wash it for her. She can't wash it clean by herself." Lu Jinan pulled a stool and sat next to his mother.
Wanqing glanced at him and said with a smile, "When you were her age, you were already helping her wash clothes."
Bai An ran to his father's room. When Lu Demin saw Bai An coming in, he quickly put down the book in his hand, bent over and asked Bai An, "Why did you come to play with Dad?"
Bai An looked at the pile of books on his father's desk and asked, "Dad, can you lend me a few books?"
"Why did you think of reading? Don't you hate reading the most?" Lu Demin pinched his daughter's fair and tender face and joked.
Bai An was unhappy that her father kept pinching her cheeks, but it seemed that everyone liked a pinch.
"I don't want to see it." Bai An dodged his father's hand, sat on the chair and asked softly, "Dad, do you still remember Aster?"
"Aster has an older brother who loves reading, but all the books in his house were burned, so I was wondering if I could lend him some books to read."
After hearing what Bai An said, Lu Demin recalled, "Is the Cui Ju you are talking about the little girl who often comes to play with you?"
"Yes, she is the father." Bai An looked up and glanced at Lu Deming's desk, then turned around and kept staring at him.
Lu Demin looked at the books on the table. He had heard about the book burning incident, but he couldn't tell who was right or wrong in this matter.
Lu Demin packed up a few books suitable for his age and handed them to Bai An, and happened to find that Bai An had been staring at him.
"Reading is a good thing. Dad will definitely lend it to you." Lu Demin touched Bai An's head and handed the book to her, "Take it."
Bai An held the books in his hands and said happily, "Thank you, Dad."
Lu Demin looked at Bai An holding a pile of books and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. It would be great if Bai An also loved reading so much.
Lu Jinan was standing in the yard helping to weed the vegetable garden. When he looked up, he saw Bai An carrying a small bag and about to go out. He quickly shouted, "Where are you going when it's almost time to eat?"
"I'm going to find Cui Ju." Bai An waved at Lu Jin'an, "I'll be back soon."
The sun was about to set, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on Bai An's body, as if adding a piece of gauze, beautiful and mysterious.
As soon as Wanqing came out with the dishes, she saw Bai Anxing in a hurry. She turned to Lu Jinan in confusion and asked, "Where is Bai An going? It's time to eat."
Lu Jinan took the dish from Wanqing and said, "She said she was going to Cuiju's house and should be back soon."
"The sun is about to set. How can you let Bai An go out alone?" Wan Qing patted Lu Jinan's shoulder gently, "Go and pick up Bai An later."
Lu Jinan smiled and asked Wanqing to sit down and eat first. "I'll pick her up later. She still hasn't finished her homework."
Looking at the closed yard, Bai An felt a little scared. After all, Cui Ju's house looked like a haunted house in the evening.
The desolate atmosphere, the broken doors and windows, the fallen leaves on the ground that had not been swept in time, and a pale face that suddenly appeared.
