Little Monster Manor

In the twilight, Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao pushed open the door of the blue tile house in the rain: "Where is the stone?"

The room was quiet and there was no answer.

"Why doesn't Shishi's bracelet ring?" Lu Xingmang quickly stepped forward and pushed the door open. The moment the door opened, warm yellow lights poured out.

"Ah! Papa is back!"

"Quick, quick! Put it all away!"

The cubs' voices came and went, and the room was in chaos.

"Father, I'll get you slippers." Xiaotuanzi rushed to the door and hugged Lu Xingmang's thigh.

Lu Xingmang saw through Xiaotuanzi's careful thoughts at a glance, Xiaotuanzi wanted to stop him for a moment.

Lu Xingmang stretched his neck to look into the room: "What are you doing?"

The floor of the room looked like an overturned paint bucket, and things of all colors were piled on the floor.

No, Lu Xingmang saw it clearly, it was piled on top of the stone.

Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao walked in, and the cubs were frantically putting away colorful things.

Red socks, orange handkerchiefs, yellow hairpins, green Leaping weed leaves, blue shells, purple crescent flowers...

The cubs probably piled all the colored items they could find on the stone.

Gu Gu replied: "We want to try how many colors the stone can change at the same time."

The stone lies on the log dining table, which can produce the same wood grain as the dining table, due to the composition of two colors.

Since the stone can change two colors at the same time, what about the three colors?What about four colors?five?six?

"How many?" Lu Xingmang asked, he was also curious about the answer to this question.

Gu Gu shook his head: "I haven't tested the upper limit yet."

"As many colors of things as we put on Brother Stone, Brother Stone can change as many colors."

"Brother Shitou is really amazing!" Long Li said proudly.

Lu Xingmang knew at a glance that Long Li must be thinking that my younger brother is so powerful, so of course my elder brother is even more powerful!

"Put everything away and put it back where it was." Lu Xingmang said to the cubs.

Da Yuanzi was reluctant to take the things away: "Dad, I'll show you a better one!"

Da Yuanzi covered the stone with her pink dress, covering most of the stone's body, leaving only one claw exposed.

The exposed claws of the stone gradually turned pink.

Dayuanzi put the blue shell on the claw of the stone, and the blue shell also turned pink!

Dayuanzi put the purple dried moon and moon flowers on the claws of the stone, and the purple dried flowers also turned pink!

Dayuanzi put the white clothes on the claws of the stone, and the white clothes turned pink!

"Everything will turn pink!" Dayuanzi smiled happily, never getting tired of playing this "everything turns pink" game.

Jiang Yao went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, Lu Xingmang played with Da Yuanzi for a while, and suddenly realized a problem: "By the way, why doesn't Shishi's bracelet ring?"

Just now they called Shishi when they entered the door.

Gu Gu heard the words, ran to the stone on short legs, took off the bracelet to check: "The battery is out."

"Strange, why is there no electricity?"

Gu Gu looked shocked: "Father, how many times have you called Shishi during the day?"

Lu Xingmang touched his nose, but did not answer.

Drum took the stone bracelet to charge it.

Dayuanzi put away the last few things scattered on the floor, and carried the stone to the coffee table.

Alluring aromas waft from the kitchen.

Rarely, the cubs didn't have to urge anyone, they all took the initiative to wash their hands, and sat upright at the dining table.

"Dad, what's for dinner? It smells so good!"

Jiang Yao's voice came from the kitchen: "Eat hot pot!"

Babao's expression changed.

Lu Xingmang could clearly see the moment when Babao changed his face, and resisted not telling Babao.

After a while, Jiang Yao brought out small hot pots one after another, and Babao breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that the hot pot this time is a small pot for each person, and everyone cooks and eats by himself.

The expression on Babao's face became eager to try.

Jiang Yao put pots of ingredients on the table, filling the table.

When Jiang Yao sat down, the bottom of the small hot pot in front of everyone was already boiling.

Long Li filled her small hot pot with ingredients in one go, and the bottom of the boiling pot stopped bubbling in an instant.

Long Li waited anxiously.

The hot pot of Jiaojiao was opened, she picked up a shrimp, and the chopsticks slipped on the shrimp, the shell of the shrimp was easily peeled off, and the dipping sauce was put into her mouth.

Longli's hot pot is not open...

Dayuanzi's hot pot was opened, and she tied up two beef balls with one chopstick, and ate them directly without even dipping them in the sauce.

Longli's hot pot is not open...

Babao's hot pot was opened, and the white and tender frozen tofu was full of delicious soup, so she picked it up and let it cool in a bowl.

Long Li's hot pot hasn't been opened yet...

He put too many things into it in one breath just now, and the hot pot couldn't boil for a long time.

Seeing Long Li's anxious look, Jiang Yao took a spoonful from his hot pot and gave it to Long Li.

Seeing Babao frown in pain, Jiang Yao circled the spoon in front of Long Li, and then circled back in front of himself.

Long Li's eyes followed Jiang Yao's spoon closely, and saw Jiang Yao pour all the food from the spoon into his bowl.

Long Li: …………? ? ! !

The night fell completely, and the cold raindrops hit the windows, and the steam from the hot pot condensed into a layer of white mist on the inside of the glass windows.

In such weather, it is a very enjoyable thing for a family to sit around and eat hot pot.

Jiang Yao finished eating in a hurry, and walked into the cold rainy night to direct the little fish diving performance at night.

"Papa, be careful on the road." Xiaotuanzi shouted towards the door, but his eyes were firmly stuck in his small hot pot.

Long Li's small hot pot finally boiled, and his mouth was full of food, followed by two murmurs.

Babao kept looking at his father's back until the door closed: "Dad is working so hard."

The moment the door closed, Lu Xingmang's heart suddenly felt empty.

But looking back and seeing so many cubs, Lu Xingmang's heart was filled again immediately.

Lu Xingmang paid attention to what the cubs ate separately to prevent them from being picky eaters. When all the cubs except Long Li were almost full, Lu Xingmang took everyone to play a game of identifying food.

"From now on, say the name of this food out loud before you can eat it!"

Lu Xingmang took the cubs to play this game because he discovered in the last practical class that the cubs were very unfamiliar with many foods in human society.

Jumping beans, the cubs often eat them, and they all know each other.But red beans, mung beans, soybeans... these cubs don't know each other.

The cubs often eat glutinous rice, and they all know each other.But rice, wheat, glutinous rice... These cubs can't tell the difference.

There are also various vegetables and meats.

This lesson, Lu Xingmang thinks that the cubs need to make up for it.

"These are potato chips!" Xiaotuanzi replied, pointing to the plate in front of him.

Lu Xingmang nodded: "That's right."

Xiaotuanzi happily picked up a slice and put it into his small hot pot.

"This is a slice of rice cake!" Da Yuanzi said, pointing to another plate.

Lu Xingmang continued to ask: "What are the rice cake slices made of?"

Da Yuanzi couldn't answer, so he gave up immediately.

Dayuanzi's finger changed direction, pointing to the plate that Xiaotuanzi pointed at just now: "This is potato chips!"

Lu Xingmang rubbed Da Yuanzi's head with a smile, and told her: "The rice cake slices are made of glutinous rice flour, not the glutinous rice we eat in the glutinous rice melon. In human society, the glutinous rice grows on the ears like rice. inner."

Da Yuanzi nodded: "I see."

Lu Xingmang took two slices of rice cakes with serving chopsticks and put them in the small hot pot of Dayuanzi.

Dayuanzi smiled: "Thank you, Dad."

Lu Xingmang noticed that Jiaojiao looked at the small plate of eggs in front of him several times.

Before playing the game, I ate several peppers, but after playing the game, I didn't pinch any of them, obviously I don't know each other.

Lu Xingmang took the initiative to ask: "What is this?"

Xiaotuanzi: "Eggs!"

Lu Xingmang shook his head: "No."

Gu Gu: "Pigeon eggs?"

Lu Xingmang shook his head: "No."

None of the cubs could guess, and finally Lu Xingmang revealed the answer: "It's quail eggs."

"Ah—" the cubs all gasped.

"The quail eggs... are those eggs laid by Aunt An Chun?" Da Yuanzi asked.

Lu Xingmang: "Of course not!!"

It took a long time to eat a hot pot meal, and the cubs remembered all the food that appeared on the table today.

After eating delicious food and playing games again, the cubs were very happy.

Lu Xingmang decided to change the batch of food next time and do this game again.

After eating the hot pot, the cubs helped Lu Xingmang carry the pots and plates into the kitchen.

Lu Xingmang asked the cubs to brush their teeth and take a bath: "Long Li! You are the big brother, responsible for supervising the younger brothers!"

"Jiajiao, you are the elder sister, supervise the younger sisters!"

Long Li straightened out her small chest and proudly replied loudly: "Okay!"

Jiaojiao nodded and whispered, "Okay."

The cubs went to take a bath by themselves, while Lu Xingmang did the cleaning in the kitchen.

After cleaning up in the kitchen, the cubs also took a bath and went back to the tree house to sleep.

The canopy of the wine bottle tree grows bigger and bigger, and it has been connected to the green tile house, like a big umbrella to keep out the sun and rain.

The short section of road from the green tile house to the wine bottle tree house was dry, and the cubs ran over without getting wet at all.

After eating the steaming hot pot and taking a warm hot bath, the cubs went back to the tree house to sleep contentedly.

There was only a stone and a cub left in the blue tile house, and it changed from noisy to quiet in an instant.

Lu Xingmang breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his temples, drank the red dates and wolfberry tea made by Babao, and was just about to take a bath when Jiang Yao came back.

Jiang Yao walked in, covered in dampness and coldness, and drank the hot tea made by Babao in one gulp.

"Comfortable! Babao is so caring."

Lu Xingmang nodded: "Yes, Babao makes us tea every day now."

The little man is not much taller than a teacup, and he makes tea very carefully.

Lu Xingmang said to Jiang Yao, "Go take a bath first."

Jiang Yao's hair was wet, and there were glistening raindrops on his face and neck.

Jiang Yao saw that Lu Xingmang had changed into bathroom slippers and was holding a comb in his hand, apparently about to take a bath.

"It happens that we are together..."

Jiang Yao paused, and suddenly asked, "Where is the stone?"

"I'm here!" Stone's bracelet was charged and put back on the claw, and now the voice came from the living room.

Jiang Yao was relieved.

He walked quickly to the door of the bedroom, closed and locked the door in one go.
