Li Daitao

Once the Dragon Boat Festival is over, the scorching heat will follow.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiaoji was stuffed with food, and he was a little overwhelmed. In addition to the hot weather, he looked listless, and even saw Qin Shu's usual cheerfulness of wagging his tail.Among the few children, he is the one who likes to talk, laugh and make troubles the most. As long as there is him, there will be excitement.Now the little guy is quiet, the two older kids are well-behaved and gentle, they are much quieter than Xiao Ji.

In those two days, Xiaoji, a bully kid, stopped eating, as if the whole villa followed in silence, which made people not quite used to the silence.

Yi Zhen felt sorry for his son, and while the medicine soup was carefully prepared and served attentively, he also tried every means to coax his precious son to be more active so that he could digest food early.

Letting him go to the back mountain to drill into the woods, climb trees, catch birds, catch rabbits and so on is a no-go. First, Qin Shu won’t let him, and second, it’s hot and there are many snakes and insects. Children are weak and prone to heatstroke.

So the one who could exercise properly and refreshed Xiaoji was to ride down the mountain to go to the market.

It’s not too far to come and go. The children can ride the pony and play together, and they can run back and forth for half a day. The market is lively but not big. The villagers are simple and the two older children are careful and sensible. , is very good at taking care of my younger brother, so I just let an adult follow me and watch from a distance, so I don’t have to worry about getting lost.

The little guy wasn't seriously ill at first, and he recovered within a few days, but he liked going to the market as a pastime, and he would go shopping if he had nothing to do.

Three days a small episode, ten days a big episode.Xiaoji never misses a single trip, and has been shopping for a full month.

Qin Shu felt that Yi Zhen's previous behavior of conniving at Xiao Ji's extravagant spending was very bad.The so-called money is not revealed, Yi Zhen doesn't know what to think in his head, let a child's family wander around with a lot of money, isn't this obviously attracting thieves and troubles or something.So he didn't let Xiaoji go out with a bag full of gold leaves, and he didn't have any silver beans, at most, he would give him some copper coins to buy some small toys and snacks he liked.

However, Yi Zhen is the master who is so spoiled with his son.He didn't dare to object in front of Qin Shu, but he was secretly worried that Xiaoji would be wronged because he had no money to spend, so he would secretly give Qin Shu some small money to the three sons behind Qin Shu's back.In his opinion, although broken silver is a small amount of money, in the hands of a child, it is nothing but a windfall.What's more, he can't stand how many times he stuffed it. The two older children will still weigh how many coppers they need to sell a sugar man's sweet cake and eat a bowl of noodles. He will also reach out to beg.

Therefore, he has the thickest wallet and the most generous spending, and he can buy whatever he wants.

He really bought whatever he wanted, and he didn't think about whether the things he bought were useful or not, and whether it would be even more troublesome to take them home.In the past month, he has bought countless gadgets, local specialties and snacks. These are quite normal expenses. Qin Shu knew that this was the problem with him. At most, he asked him to restrain himself when he saw it, and didn't say much. .

But it’s fine if he only buys these. He also likes to buy small animals, young poultry and livestock.However, buying it back was only a matter of three or two days, and he didn't care about it once the interest passed. In the end, he had to take care of him with his two older brothers.In the past month, he brought kittens, dogs, lambs, rabbits, ducks, parrots, starlings, etc. to the villa, planed the bluegrass planted by Qin Shu, and gnawed countless flowers and trees.

Qin Shu lived in a farm for a few years, and he didn't dislike these small cats and dogs by nature, but it was a headache for Xiaoji's behavior that had a head but no tail and never took responsibility, but it never ended. Being physically inconvenient, Yi Zhen used the excuse that it is a good thing for the child to raise animals with love, so he did not clean up Xiao Ji for the time being.

The little guy has never had a restrained personality. His best skill is to be arrogant when he is proud, his tail goes up to the sky, and then he pushes his nose to make a nest on the top of his father's head.

So today even Liang Xiao, who always loved his younger brother, finally came to ask Qin Shu to take care of Xiao Ji.

Seeing his strange expression, Qin Shu rubbed the center of his brows, and chased away the barking puppy who rushed over to hug his feet, and said helplessly, "...What did Xiao Ji bring back?"

Liang Xiao took a peek at his face, and said hesitantly, "Xiaoji bought a piglet and came back..."

Qin Shu was stunned, and then said after a while, "...he doesn't think it's dirty?"

This time even Yi Zhen couldn't turn a blind eye, coaxing and scaring Xiao Ji with a sullen face.But he usually pampered his son too much, and the direct result was that Xiaoji was not afraid of him at all, and refused to let the piglet go. Go in, close your eyes and plug your ears in a show of cheating.

The little piggy looked clean, with pinkish white flesh.

But no matter how clean it looks, it is still a pig.

Seeing Qin Shu coming, Xiaoji didn't dare to use the tricks of rolling and stomping. He just groaned over and over again like he wanted to raise him, and he wouldn't let him go.

Qin Shu almost lost his temper with Xiaoji. He glanced at him coldly, then sighed, turned to the two older children and said, "Let's have roast suckling pig at home."

Before Yi Zhen could answer, Xiao Ji yelled from the side: "Don't eat, don't eat! I want to raise it! At least I have to grow to this size before I can eat it!" He opened his arms as much as he could and gestured.

Qin Shu endured the thought of beating up the little brat, he didn't even bother to mention those little Jis who lost interest after raising them for two or three days, and left them to his two older brothers to take care of the kittens that they never cared about. The puppy is gone.Qin Shu supported his forehead and said weakly: "Even if you keep it, you should take it to the stables, how about putting it in your room."

Xiaoji has a temper that comes up short, and has a fit of madness from time to time.At this time, he felt that Qin Shu disliked this little piggy even more than the little animals he had brought back a few times before.Locked in the stable, maybe Zhuan Kuo Da Qin Shu will serve it to the dinner table with a word.Xiao Ji squatted on the ground without moving, and whispered back: "Why can't it work."

He muttered: "What's so difficult about raising it, isn't it just to feed it and let it sleep?" He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Shu quietly, and said in a softer voice: "My father also eats with you all day and puts you to sleep. I haven't seen my father say how difficult you are to raise, Daddy..."

Qin Shu is not deaf, and if he hears these words clearly, his face will not look very good-is it supposed to be said like this!Can this be the same!

But at this time Yi Zhen couldn't hold back, and laughed beside him.

It was like adding a spoonful of oil to the fire, and Qin Shu's unhappy anger was stirred up.

Qin Shu almost didn't even think about it, and slapped Yi Zhen with a slap.After the beating, I saw several children watching.The two older children looked at each other without making a sound, while Xiao Ji sat on the threshold and stopped mumbling, staring at him with wide eyes as if startled.

Qin Shu was stunned after the beating.In fact, that blow wasn't serious at all, and he didn't intend to hit him, but Yi Zhen usually pampered and indulged him, which made Qin Shu a bit bold and self-willed.Qin Shu has always been uncomfortable, and his temper is always very violent. He usually annoys Qin Shu with his children behind his back. It is common for Yi Zhen to have his ears pinched and his palms pinched. Yi Zhen is used to it and doesn't take it seriously. , If I didn't get cleaned up twice that day, I would still feel a little uncomfortable.

But now Qin Shu didn't pay attention, and started to fight in front of the children, which frightened him, and continued to be angry with a sullen face. It would be a bit pity, but if he didn't pretend to be angry and busy paying compensation to Yi Zhen, didn't he ask him if it hurt? It hurts, but I can't bear it anymore. It's really a dilemma.

Fortunately, Yi Zhen was also a bit obedient, rubbed his face twice, saw Qin Shu was embarrassed, quickly put down his hands, and smoothed things over with a smile: "It's all right. It's just a joke!" He bowed to Qin Shu again and again: "I was wrong, I was wrong." He glared at Xiao Ji again: "Why don't you get Little Chef out of your room?"

Qin Shu took advantage of the steps to turn his face away, only feeling a little hot on his face.

Xiaoji is such a clever child, looking at Qin Shu and then Yi Zhentu, he felt that nothing was wrong, and the little guy was also quite troublesome, so he laughed out loud.

He saw Qin Shu's eyes sweeping towards him, and he covered his face and curled up into a ball, but there was still a mischievous smile in his eyes.

Qin Shu really wanted to get rid of him, but when he saw Xiao Ji was acting pitifully like you don't want to hit me, what else could he do?

Qin Shu took a breath, looked at Xiaoji and said coldly: "You like piggy so much, you must keep it in the room, then you can eat and sleep with it! You should also become a piggy! I Let's see how long you can be stubborn?"

Xiaoji must not be afraid of his intimidation, put down his hands, shook his head and smiled and replied: "Okay! I want to raise it until it grows up, and save it for Chinese New Year to eat meat!"

Qin Shu glared at him again, and the little guy pretended he didn't see it.Qin Shu had no choice but to turn his head and tell the two older children: "You are not allowed to help him. Let him sleep with the pig at night!"

The two children also felt that Xiaoji's incident was too much trouble this time.They all reluctantly agreed, and went to persuade Xiao Ji again.

Seeing that Qin Shu had nothing to do with him, Xiaoji was already triumphant, turned his head and looked up at the eaves with his neck up, as if he would not listen to anyone's persuasion.

Yi Zhen is the only one in this family who doesn't take it seriously, anyway, it doesn't hurt the sky and is not unreasonable, if a child likes to make troubles, let him make troubles, and wait until he thinks how much it is to raise pigs under the bed If it is unreliable, of course he will give up this plan.It's okay to make Xiao Ji happy now.If I'm not used to it, can the child be so lively?

Of course, Yi Zhen didn't dare to say this in front of Qin Shu, so he pretended to say a few words to Xiao Ji, and when he saw Qin Shu turned his head and left, he hurriedly stopped talking and followed him, thinking about how to go back all the way. It's not the time to laugh at Qin Shu to criticize himself.

And the two most powerful patriarchs are not there, the two elder brothers usually dote on him and let him protect him, and Xiao Ji is not afraid at all.No matter how good the two elder brothers are, and threaten him in every possible way, Xiao Ji will be the donkey's ear. This kid is very right-minded, and if he says he wants to raise it, he will raise it, at least for now.

In the end, even the two good-tempered children couldn't do anything about him, so they simply let him raise him for two days and decided to leave him alone.

Xiaoji has an inexplicable sense of accomplishment from defeating the whole family, not to mention the little complacency.

But the little piggy who had just arrived didn't appreciate Xiaoji's great kindness of rescuing him from the grill, so he walked around the room a few times, and then pulled a bunch of them on the ground carelessly. Hot and smelly dross.

Xiao Ji was still squatting there complacent, and didn't pay much attention to the sound when he heard the sound. After smelling it, he turned around and saw that the pile of dirty things on the ground was still smoking white.

Xiaoji let out a howl of 'Aww', and jumped out of the door in three or two steps as if his tail was on fire, standing there dumbfounded, pinching his nose and frowning...

Qin Shu didn't want to pamper his son, usually the children would do things like cleaning their own room, and only after ten days and a half months would someone help to clean it up, even Xiao Ji was no exception.

Xiao Ji, who is usually too fastidious, is standing outside the door now, afraid of being suffocated by the stench. If he is asked to clean up the pig's poop by himself, it will kill him.

Then think about his fragrant and soft bed in the room, all kinds of toys he collected, and his favorite new clothes in the cabinet, all of which are suffocated by the stench and are slowly becoming stinky Coax.

Xiaoji was really in a hurry this time, and he didn't care about being embarrassed, so he went to find his two brothers crying.

In the end, Liang Xiao helped him clean it up with a small shovel for planting flowers, and then took water to rinse it several times, and finally lit two incense burners in the room.Even so, Xiao Ji still suspected that there was a bad smell in the room, so he squatted at the door and refused to go in.

He was finally convinced this time, wishing to drive that little piggy as far as he could.

But Liang Xiao and Jian An thought that this little brother of theirs should really let him have a better memory. They exchanged glances at each other, and no one ignored Xiaoji's call of "Pull away, pull away, quickly pull away", and took the little pig away. A straw rope was tied, and it was still tied to the peach tree in front of Xiaoji's house.

The little pig was tickling on the peach tree, whimpering and groaning.

As Xiaoji watched, he finally remembered that he was afraid that fleas might hit him, so he hurriedly hid away.With a mournful face, he tugged at the corner of Liang Xiao's clothes: "Brother, shall I sleep with you at night? Okay?"

Liang Xiao shook his head, and one by one he broke away his fingers holding the corners of his clothes: "You told Dad that you would sleep with the little pig, and you said you would sleep until the New Year! I don't keep piglets in my house , I can't let you in."

"I'm not raising it anymore!" Xiao Ji yelled angrily. Seeing that Liang Xiao was still shaking his head, he threw himself on Jian An and howled: "Brother Jian An, let me sleep in your room tonight." ? Brother Jian An, brother Jian An~~"

Jian An was quite the self-restraint of a big brother, and smiled and patted his head: "Dads are coming to see if you have covered yourself with the quilt tonight. You don't want to sleep in your own room, so go and talk to Dad yourself."

Xiaoji was still reluctant to backtrack in front of Qin Shu, and when he heard this, he fell silent, just sniffing his nose and wiping his tears, pretending to cry, while secretly watching the expressions of his two elder brothers.

It's a pity that the two elder brothers have seen him fake cry not once or twice, and they are already a little immune.The two older children looked at each other knowingly, one said they were going to dry the quilt, the other said they were going to water the flowers, they held hands and turned away, leaving Xiao Ji there to hum along with the little pig.
