The military master pledged his life to the country, and the military wife pledged her life to him.

"crayfish?"

The moment Lin Xi mentioned the word crayfish, everyone at the table looked up at her.

Lin Xi: ???

"Why haven't you eaten crayfish?"

It’s the weekend: “I’ve eaten it, but it’s probably not as good as what you cook.”

"Do you want to go down to the river and catch them yourself?" Fu Liangdong asked.

Fu Liangchen: "We have never fished or caught shrimps in the river since we were little!"

"You are still young. I used to go to the river with my nephews to catch fish and shrimps."

Both the original owner and Lin Xi often went to the river to catch fish and shrimp. Going to the river to catch fish and shrimp is one of the favorite things for children in the village to do in the summer.

"We are grown up now. I think we can try going to the river to catch fish and shrimps. What do you think, Xixi?" Fu Liangchen really wanted to go to the river to play.

Lin Xi said, "I can't say for sure. Ask your father and Uncle Zhou. You kids definitely can't go to the water to play without an adult by your side. If something happens, you'll lose your life."

"Were there adults with you when you went to the river to fish and catch shrimps?" Fu Liangchen asked.

"Of course. If you go home without an adult, you will be beaten, okay? If you dare to go to the river to play with other kids behind my and your father's backs and let us know, you can expect a beating on your butt." Lin Xi warned.

Fu Huaichuan: "When the time comes, your Uncle Zhou and I will take turns whipping you with belts."

"We really can't do anything that touches the bottom line." Weekend nodded and agreed with Lin Xi's words.

Political Commissar Qin nodded and said, "Many children drown in the river every summer."

Fu Liangdong: "Dad, then take us to the river to play. We haven't been to the river to play before!"

In fact, even if Lin Xi didn't say it, Fu Liangdong also knew that their children could not go to the river to play alone, because there were children in their village who drowned in the river before, but he really wanted Fu Huaichuan to take them, the uncle and nephew, to play by the river.

Fu Huaichuan: "When the dog days begin, your Uncle Zhou and I will take you to play in the river. The temperature is still a little low now, so it's not suitable to take you kids to play in the river. You'll get sick easily."

"Can I go then?" Fu Ning asked.

"Of course you can, but Ningning, can you swim?" Lin Xi asked.

Fu Ning shook his head and said, "No."

"It won't be good. Usually, those who drown are those who can swim. But you should still learn to swim if you have the chance. After all, more skills are better."

Fu Liangchen: "Xixi, when does the dog days begin?"

“We’ll have to wait until July.”

"Ah? That's still a long time!"

"Why, you don't even want to be in the water anymore just to go down to the river and play?"

"That's not it."

"I've already promised to take you to the river to fish and catch shrimps, so don't ask for so much!"

"Know it!"

Qin Lin: "Dad, shall my brother and I go then?"

Political Commissar Qin: "If you want to go, I'll take you there when the time comes!"

"Do we have to wait until July?" Qin Lin asked.

Political Commissar Qin: "What else?"

"Now you still have to cover yourself with a blanket when you go to bed at night, and you have to use warm water to take a shower. Are you sure the water won't be cold when you take off all your clothes? If you really get sick, not only will we adults not have enough time to take care of you, but you will also have to drink those bitter Chinese medicines that make you want to vomit..."

Thinking of the Chinese medicine that Fu Ning had been drinking recently, the children at the table frowned.

Although they wanted to go down to the river to play, they didn't want to get sick and take medicine, and luckily July was only a few months away.

The Zhou family next door.

Zhao Yufen was talking to Captain Zhou about Sang Xiao.

"Political Commissar Qin's wife used to look down on us, but today she went to Xiao Fu's house next door to look for Xixi early in the morning. Look, she's been eating at Xixi's house all day."

"So did you go over to help?"

"No."

If it was anyone else, it would be fine, but it had to be Sang Xiao...

Zhao Yufen didn't want to do anything that would get her into trouble.

Captain Zhou: “…”

"Mom, I'm back!"

It just so happened that Zhou Hui had just returned from tutoring at the Fu family next door.

Seeing that Captain Zhou and Zhao Yufen were both there, he said, "Mom and Dad, when are we going to invite Qin Lin's parents to our house for dinner? I heard that Dong Dong and Chen Chen all received a one-dollar gift from Qin Lin's mother today, but Aunt Lin also gave them a gift in return. Guess what Aunt Lin gave them?"

"What is the gift?" Zhao Yufen asked.

Zhou Hui chuckled and said, "The exercise books are so thick that Qin Lin and his brother almost cried. Not only that, Qin Lin's mother also paid ten yuan to ask Aunt Lin to give him and his brother extra lessons." "Did your Aunt Lin accept it?" Zhao Yufen asked again.

Zhou Hui nodded and said, "I'll take it."

"I heard from Qin Lin that they might go to Aunt Lin's house next door for dinner more often in the future, because their mother can't cook and their father's cooking is extremely bad. In the past, they had to make do with the canteen meals and the meals his father cooked, but they and their mother actually got tired of it a long time ago."

"Then do you know what your Aunt Lin Xi said?"

Zhou Hui shook his head and said, "I don't know, but Aunt Lin invited me to have dinner at their house, but I didn't agree."

"It's right not to agree. Your Uncle Xiao Fu has been supporting the family alone. We can't cause them any more trouble."

"Know it!"

In fact, Zhou Hui wanted to stay next door for dinner, but unfortunately his parents didn’t agree.

He could only feel regretful in his heart.

After Zhou Hui left, Zhao Yufen said, "I didn't expect that Political Commissar Qin and his wife are quite rich."

"Counting the weekends and what we gave him and Political Commissar Qin and his wife, Xixi's monthly income is no less than what she would get if she were working!"

"What's wrong? Are you mentally unbalanced?" asked Captain Zhou.

"If you feel unbalanced, you can choose not to send the three children over next month. This way we can save five dollars."

Zhao Yufen: "If they don't send them there, will you tutor them?"

"I don't feel bad, so I won't tutor you. If you feel bad, then you can tutor me!"

Zhao Yufen: "Get lost!"

It wasn't that she felt sorry for the money, she was just a little envious of Lin Xi.

He can earn dozens of dollars every month without leaving the house, but who can blame him for his ability?

Even if she was envious, she couldn't achieve it!

"Before, I didn't think it was a big deal because Lele stayed next door and refused to leave. But now I can see that this Xiaolin is not simple."

Without waiting for Zhao Yufen to speak, Captain Zhou continued, "Neither Lele nor Qin Zhengwei's wife are particularly easy to get along with, but they both like Xiaolin so much... Wife, I don't mean to praise outsiders and belittle you, but I always feel that Xiaolin may have a bright future. I think you can try to get in touch with Qin Zhengwei's wife. If you really can't get along, it's not too late to give up."

"Know it!"

Since Captain Zhou had spoken, Zhao Yufen had to follow his instructions no matter how reluctant she was.
