Chapter 77 Have you ever coaxed others?
As the sun sets to the west, there is a gorgeous flaming cloud on the horizon.
Shang Wan emerged from the wooden shed with an ax in hand, looked at the sky, put down the ax, and walked to the well to get water to wash his hands.
Shaking off the water drops on his hands, Shang Wan looked at Shi Shi, "In a moment, you can clean up the wood residue in the shed. Have a good night's sleep. I'll pick up your brother-in-law."
"Okay." Shitou piled the wooden blocks together and agreed.
"Mom! Go to the nest!" The little turtle with a round dome quickly crawled over, raised its little head, and fell into the haystack with a "splat", falling on all fours.
"Let's go and pick up your father together." Shang Wan knelt down and turned the little turtle over, picked up his own cub, and walked to the river.
"Mom!" Yuanyuan stretched out her little finger and pointed in the opposite direction, "Dad! Then!"
"My memory is good." Shang Wan wiped his round little hands clean with the corner of his clothes, "But daddy is not there, he is by the river."
Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes, and one word popped out of her mouth, "Fish!"
Shang Wan laughed, "My dear, your dad didn't go to the river to catch fish."
Yuanyuan frowned and repeated, "Fish!"
She balled her white and tender hands into fists, raised them in front of Shang Wan, and moved them up and down several times.
"Fish! Ball ball!"
Shang Wan stared at the small fist that looked like a glutinous rice dumpling in front of him. It took him a while to realize, "My dear, are you talking about fish balls?"
His big round eyes lit up, and he nodded his little head heavily, "Fish Ball Ball! Times!"
"My dear, you only have two teeth." Shang Wan poked the little guy's cheek, "Can you bite the hand-made fish balls?"
The two teeth are also teeth. The round child proudly puffed up his little chest and said, "Second!"
Shang Wan laughed and pinched the little knot on her head, "Okay, I'll catch a fish later and make fish balls for us Yuanyuan."
"Mom, okay!" Yuanyuan put her arms around Shang Wan's neck and nuzzled her affectionately, poking Shang Wan in the face several times.
Shang Wan: "..."
The setting sun casts a golden light on the river, the ripples swayed, and the broken gold shone.
On the wooden bridge, a young man sitting in a wheelchair stared at the river in trance, his dark pupils reflecting the fine golden light on the river, like stars in the dark night.
Thin footsteps came from behind, accompanied by a sweet and waxy little voice, "Daddy!"
Before Lu Chengjing recovered, there was already a soft and cute meat dumpling in his arms.
Shang Wan asked: "Why are you here if you don't go home?"
Lu Chengjing chuckled, "I'll be here when I regain my senses."
Shang Wan glanced at him, climbed down the wooden bridge, and bent down to pick pebbles.
Lu Chengjing's eyes followed her movements, the darkness in his eyes slowly faded away, and he was confused, "What are you doing picking up stones?"
"It works." Shang Wan looked up at him, "Didn't you just want to jump into the river? I have no plans to be a widow for the time being."
Lu Chengjing was silent, "For now?"
"It doesn't depend on how long you can live." Shang Wan jumped onto the wooden bridge and handed him a pebble, "Yuanyuan wants to eat fish. Let's compete. Whoever fails to catch a fish will tell the other a secret. how?"
"I seem to be losing?" Lu Chengjing said as he took the colored pebbles, put them into his round little hands, and let the little guy play together.
"That's not necessarily true. What if there is a miracle?" After Shang Wan finished speaking, he threw the pebbles back.
Lu Chengjing was slightly stunned, was he deliberately letting him go?
But he soon discovered that he was wrong. A stunned grass carp weighing about four or five kilograms floated to the surface of the water.
Lu Chengjing: "..."
Shang Wan flew across the water as lightly as a kite, picked up the grass carp and threaded it on a cane.
"Mom!" Yuanyuan immediately threw the colored pebbles aside in disgust and clapped her hands excitedly. Lu Chengjing watched helplessly as his pebble slid to the edge of the wooden bridge, spun twice on the spot, and fell into the water with a "gudong", causing a small splash.
Shang Wan looked down while holding the grass carp, shook his head and said, "Accidents happen all the time, but miracles don't always happen."
Lu Chengjing: "..."
"Here." Shang Wan handed the grass carp he was carrying to the young man in the wheelchair with a smile on his face, "Miracle delivered."
A bright smile came into view, Lu Chengjing's pupils shrank, he stared at the person in front of him for a moment, and smiled, "I am willing to admit defeat."
Shang Wan tilted his head to look at him, and saw that his cheeks were red and his voice was a little muffled, "I don't plan to jump into the river, and you don't have to coax me like this. I just... just thought of some old things."
"Is this called coaxing you?" Shang Wan chuckled, "You're quite easy to coax."
Hearing this, Lu Chengjing was silent for a moment and raised his eyes, "Have you... ever coaxed others?"
Only by comparison can you find out the difficulty.
"Of course." Shang Wan pursed his lips at Yuanyuan, "Why don't you coax the baby in your arms every day? Who do you think I am catching fish for?"
Lu Chengjing lowered his head and looked at his daughter's big twinkling eyes for a moment, pursed his lips, and whispered, "You know I'm not asking about Yuanyuan."
"Then I have to think about it." Shang pushed his wheelchair half a circle before heading back.
Lu Chengjing pricked up his ears and listened for a long time. When he didn't hear the answer, he coughed lightly and said, "Have you thought about it?"
Shang Wan didn't answer.
Lu Chengjing frowned and turned around. Before he could see Shang Wan's face clearly, he felt a soft touch on his forehead and smelled a light fragrance on the tip of his nose.
His eyes slowly widened, that was just now...
"I can't remember."
Shang Wan leaned forward, their foreheads touched, their eyes intertwined, and their breaths intertwined.
"But, you are the first to let me coax you like this."
"You..." Lu Chengjing's pupils trembled, and the red glow spread from his cheeks to his neck in an instant, and his whole body was almost ripe.
Shang Wan secretly tutted, this is promising.
If she had just kissed him directly, wouldn't this guy explode on the spot?
The little kid Yuanyuan anxiously grabbed his father's arm and turned his little head to look back. Why is he so fat?
Shang Wan pinched her little nose and asked her to sit back and not roll down.
When he arrived home, Lu Chengjing's expression returned to normal. Xiao Hui, who had returned from the mountains, ran over to pick up Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan climbed directly from her father's lap onto Xiao Hui's back, and skillfully directed Xiao Hui to find the little turtle to play with.
Shang Wan brought the grass carp to Xiaohuan. After Xiaohuan cut the fish, deboned it and added seasonings, she was responsible for beating the fish meat into a puree.
It was getting dark, and the villagers came one after another to Lu Chengjing to keep accounts. When they smelled the aroma of food wafting from the stove, each of them couldn't help but sing about the empty city strategy.
However, everyone could only glance at the stove quietly, register their points for today, and then leave quickly, as if there was a dog chasing them behind them.
At the dinner table, the hand-made fish balls received unanimous praise from everyone.
Yuanyuan grabbed the fish balls with her two little hands and chewed them carefully with her two millet teeth. Her saliva flowed all over her bib. There were two more balls in the small bowl in front of her.
Xiaohuan was worried that Yuanyuan's cheeks would be sore from chewing them, so she wanted to help break them into small pieces.
"Let her eat it by herself." Shang Wan waved his hand, "If you break it up for her, she will definitely cry for you."
Xiaohuan had no choice but to give up and concentrate on eating her own food.
When Yuanyuan got tired of chewing and tried to stuff a whole fish ball into her mouth, her mother deprived her of the right to eat fish balls and replaced her with soft vegetable porridge.
Yuanyuan:? ? ?
