Chapter 120 Midsummer
Chapter 120 Midsummer
It’s midsummer in the blink of an eye!
Chi Xiaotong held Tuantuan in her arms and sat in the yard, feeling the breeze and looking at the green scenery. She teased Tuantuan, "Tuantuan, Tuantuan, look at Daddy!"
Tian Yu was weeding in the yard. He stood up and tucked his hair behind his ear. He smiled and said, "My dear wife, Tuantuan is so young! How can he recognize me?"
"I've already recognized everyone! I only recognize you, and I'm also close to my two brothers, but I don't care about me!" Chi Xiaotong complained.
"It's because you always make faces to scare him!"
"Wasn't I just teasing him?" Chi Xiaotong defended.
"Okay, come and take a break! Look, Tuantuan is looking for you!"
Tian Yu sat next to Chi Xiaotong and reached out to take the child.
"I'm holding him, you must be tired! Just tease him, don't hold him anymore!"
It was a hot day, and the two had nothing to do, so they held Tuantuan in the yard to bask in the sun. While they were basking in the sun, Tian Yu was annoyed by the grass in the yard, so he handed Tuantuan to Chi Xiaotong and went to pull the weeds.
Holding the child, Chi Xiaotong was unable to help. She refused to listen to his advice and would not let him intervene.
"Not tiring! Just a few weeds! I'll just pull them out!" There were some weeds in the yard, but Chi Xiaotong had never taken care of them.
It's full of vitality, very good, and there are two small flowers blooming!
Tianyu is a hardworking person and can't stand seeing weeds growing in the yard. It seems like no one lives there, or the owner is too lazy and lets the weeds grow.
Chi Xiaotong had no objection to Tian Yu's extermination, but it happened that there were only three of them at home at the moment, and Tian Yu would not pick up the child, so she could not help.
"Look daddy, are you tired?"
"I'm really not tired! It's not as exaggerated as you say. If I'm tired already, what else can I do?" Tian Yu smiled helplessly.
"Take a break! When I'm not at home, you're busy all the time. How can you take a break? Now that I'm at home, why don't you stay with me and take a break?"
"Okay, okay, I'll sit with my wife!" Tian Yu said with a smile.
……
"Sister Xiaotong, brother-in-law!" Chen Chengshan ran over with Yuanyuan and Manman.
"What's wrong?" Tian Yu smiled and asked everyone to sit down and take a breath.
Chen Chengshan took out a cloth bag mysteriously and said, "Guess what's here?"
"What?" Tian Yu cooperated and showed a curious expression.
"Hehe! The three of us caught it, a grasshopper!" Chen Chengshan carefully opened a small opening, reached his hand in, and grabbed one out.
Chi Xiaotong looked at it carefully and found that it was the same thing as the grasshoppers he caught when he was a child in his hometown in the countryside.
It turns out there is one here too!
This thing can fly and hides in the grass, so it's not that easy to catch. There is a green one, which she used to call a shoulder pole hook. It likes to lie on the grass leaves and you can catch it with ease!
The field fish was startled by the insect that suddenly approached, and it instinctively leaned back and sat down on the ground.
Chen Chengshan laughed loudly: "Haha, brother-in-law, you are so timid! Haha!"
"Xiao Yu, are you okay?" Yuanyuanmanman helped Tianyu up, one on each side.
"It's okay!" Tian Yu blushed. He was indeed a very timid person.
"Don't be afraid! This thing doesn't bite! It's just a little bug!"
"Ok, I know!"
"Okay, Chengshan, take Yuanyuanman out to play! Your brother-in-law doesn't like these!"
"Oh, let's go, Yuanyuan, Manman, let's continue and catch a few more!" Chen Chengshan was full of energy. He ran around under the scorching sun, sweating all over.
But it did make Yuanyuan and Manman more energetic! They ran around and had fun following their uncle!
"Look on the grass leaves. There's a green one that likes to lie on them. You can catch it easily!" Chi Xiaotong reminded the three before they ran away.
Chen Chengshan kept walking and shouted, "I know!"
"So energetic and not even bothered by the heat!" Chi Xiaotong sighed as he looked at the three figures!
"Is my wife feeling hot?" Tian Yu nodded in agreement and asked again.
"It's okay now! If I run like this, I'll die of heat!"
Chi Xiaotong suddenly remembered something and handed Tuantuan to Tian Yu: "Xiaoyu, hold him for a while, I'll go get something!"
After a while, Chi Xiaotong came out holding some bamboo sticks and cloth strips.
"What's this, my wife?" Tian Yu looked at her in confusion.
"Let's get a cage. If they catch it, we won't have a place to put it!" When Chi Xiaotong was a child, he used plastic bottles to hold the cats and poked a few holes in them. They wouldn't suffocate to death, but they wouldn't run away either!
There is none here. I just saw Chen Chengshan using a cloth bag and then I thought that I could make a small cage.
"Weaving a cage?"
"No, I don't know how to weave, so I just use bamboo strips and cloth!" Only yarn can be breathable and you can still see through it.
But Shachi Xiaotong never saw any for sale.
Chi Xiaotong's craftsmanship was not very good, but on a whim, she got a few bamboo strips, tied them up with cloth strips, and formed them into a square.
Chi Xiaotong took a look and finally decided to use white cloth to cover all six sides, leaving a small opening.
In white, you can always see a little shadow.
These are the scraps of cloth that the store gave me when I bought the fabric before. Chi Xiaotong bought a lot at one time because there are many people in her family, so Chi Xiaotong bought more at once and let Tian Yu make them slowly.
After tinkering with it for a while, Chi Xiaotong picked it up and took a look, feeling very satisfied.
Just when I wanted to show off to Tian Yu, I couldn’t laugh anymore the next second!
The cage is falling apart!
Chi Xiaotong was stunned. So fragile?
Tian Yu pursed his lips tightly, trying to hold back his laughter until his stomach ached.
Chi Xiaotong looked at him with resentment in her eyes: "Laugh if you want to! No need to hold it back!"
"Haha!" Tian Yu couldn't hold back his laughter anymore.
Chi Xiaotong pinched Tian Yu's face: "You're really laughing! You little rascal!"
"My dear wife!" Tian Yu finally stopped laughing.
"Well, you little rascal!"
Tian Yu still had a smile on his face: "The cloth strips can't be tied tightly!"
"Oh, let's not do that!" Chi Xiaotong took apart the broken cage. It was troublesome to do, but it was quick to take apart, and it was done in a few seconds!
"Don't tell the children!" Chi Xiaotong pretended to be serious.
Tian Yu had now figured out Chi Xiaotong's character, and knew that she was not angry, nor was she afraid, so she smiled and replied, "Well, I won't say it!"
Chi Xiaotong packed up her things as if nothing had happened and put them back where they belonged.
When the three of them came back, each of them had a small straw cage in his hand.
"I made it, specially for holding grasshoppers!" Chen Chengshan saw Chi Xiaotong staring at it, so he held it up and said proudly.
Tian Yu couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
"Brother-in-law, what are you laughing at? Doesn't it look bad?" Chen Chengshan wondered.
Seeing Chi Xiaotong's aggrieved and accusing eyes, Tian Yu suppressed his smile and shook his head: "No, I thought of something interesting!"
"The sheep haven't been fed yet! Who will feed them?" Chi Xiaotong quickly changed the subject.
"I go!"
"I go!"
The two little ones raised their hands together.
"We have gathered the grass! Just feed them!" Chen Chengshan's attention was indeed diverted, and he led the two kids to feed the sheep!
Since buying the sheep, Chi Xiaotong has not worried about them. Yuanyuan and Manman took the initiative to take on the task of feeding the sheep. They go out to pull grass every day and feed them.
Chen Chengshan also helped feed the two sheep all day long. The three of them raised them to be fat and strong, and the ewes' milk production increased a lot!
In order to ensure that Tuantuan was well fed, each of the four boys could get half a bowl of goat milk.
