Chapter 92 Competition
"Sister, didn't we get all the grain distributed to our family? Where did it come from?" Shitou took the bag of grain from Lu Chengjing's lap and weighed it. It was quite heavy.
Shang Wan said: "These are gifts to thank your brother-in-law for helping to settle the accounts."
Shitou said "Oh" and was about to carry the cloth bag to the wooden shed. Shang Wan stopped him, "Wait a minute, let me ask you, why is your brother-in-law so good at settling accounts?"
Shitou scratched his head, glanced in Lu Chengjing's direction, and asked doubtfully, "Sister, why don't you just ask your brother-in-law?"
Shang Wan thought to himself, isn't this just teasing and annoying people?
"If I ask you, just tell me."
Shitou then said: "There is a Master Ouyang in the county school who is very good at arithmetic. My brother-in-law often asks Master Ouyang for advice. Master Ouyang praises his brother-in-law for his talent in arithmetic. After Mr. Qiao knew about it, he was always lazy and asked his brother-in-law to help him calculate the store. The accounts here come and go, and with my brother-in-law's intelligence, he is naturally familiar with it. "
Shang Wan: "..."
Qiao Yu'an was really generous. He actually asked an outsider, Lu Chengjing, to help with such an important matter as accounting.
"Sister," Shitou approached Shang Wan, his voice so low that he could barely breathe, "Don't tell your brother-in-law that I told you. You also know our previous situation in the Lu Mansion, with the third bedroom being the poorest. Mr. Qiao asked his brother-in-law to help with the accounts, partly to be lazy and partly to find an excuse to help us. "
"My brother-in-law didn't agree, so he started to behave and roll around, forcing my brother-in-law to help."
Shitou winked and put in good words for Qiao Yu'an, "Mr. Qiao sometimes speaks badly, but he is not a bad person. Sister, if he offends you, for the sake of your brother-in-law, please be gentle with him." "
Shang Wan: "..."
Is she such a violent person?
She waved her hand, "I know, I have a sense of propriety."
Shitou then left with the bag in his arms.
He Sizhi's master and apprentice were packing their luggage in the shed. Liangliang was sitting on a small bench outside the shed, with her little head hanging down, staring at the shadow on the ground in a daze.
I don’t know when Yuanyuan passed by. She held the little turtle lying on its little head with her two little hands. She looked at her own shadow for a while, and then turned to look at the bright shadow.
Big eyes blinked, and the little guy soon got tired of it. She freed up a small hand to pat the little brother next to her and handed the little turtle over.
Watching the turtle retract its head into its shell, Liangliang stretched out his hand to push the turtle back, turned his body, changed direction and continued to stare at the shadow in a daze.
Yuanyuan glanced at the little turtle, pushed the little turtle on her head, skillfully climbed to the direction facing Liangliang, and then handed the little turtle to Liangliang.
Xiao Nai's voice was soft and waxy, "Gitui, play!"
Liangliang glanced at her, hugged her legs and changed directions, then fell into a daze.
Yuanyuan:? ? ?
Why is this little brother so fat?
The little guy puffed up his cheeks and competed with Liangliang. When Liangliang turned, she chased him. When Liangliang turned again, she chased him again, and then he chased her again, and then he chased her again...
Liangliang was spinning faster and faster like a top, and Yuanyuan was chasing faster and faster. Her little head began to feel dizzy. Her little hand accidentally rested on the smooth turtle shell, and it slipped out. She was about to fall. Dog chews mud.
Two rough-skinned little hands quickly stretched out and lifted Yuanyuan up.
With a stern face, Liangliang placed the meat dumpling with short arms and legs next to him, turned around, and continued to be in a daze.
Yuanyuan frowned, and stopped pursuing her this time. She pursed her pink lips and grabbed the shiny clothes, pulling them toward her.
Ordinary one-year-old milk babies naturally have little strength, but Yuanyuan is a superpower. Liangliang was unprepared and almost made Yuanyuan fall off the stool.
This time he stopped looking at the shadow and stared at Yuanyuan without blinking, as if he saw something rare.
Seeing that her little brother was willing to take care of herself, she pointed her round little hand at the little turtle on the ground and said, "Turtle."
Liangliang looked over and nodded. Yuanyuan happily placed small stones, small wooden sticks, etc. to set up obstacles for the little turtle to move forward. Whenever the little turtle climbed over an obstacle, she clapped her little hands happily, as if the little turtle had accomplished something special. A big deal.
Even though Liangliang has a tendency to develop autism, he is still a ten-year-old child and does not think that a little turtle climbing over an obstacle is a great event worthy of applause and celebration.
Yuanyuan puffed up her cheeks and looked at him with her big black, clear eyes. To be precise, she looked at his motionless hands.
She took a look, raised her little hands and waved them in front of her little brother, took another look, and the two little hands shook together, and looked again, and the two little hands began to clap.
Liangliang still didn't move, just staring at the little turtle.
Yuanyuan puffed up her cheeks unhappily, hugged her arms, and stared straight at her bright hands with her big eyes.
Liangliang's eyes moved, and he felt an inexplicable chill on his back. Under Yuanyuan's gaze, he slowly raised his hand and patted it twice.
Yuanyuan was happy now and clapped her hands again. Inexplicably, Liangliang clapped her hands along with her rhythm.
The little turtle climbed faster and faster with the encouragement of the two people, completely ignoring the obstacles on the road.
When the little turtle turned back, Yuanyuan quickly placed the pebbles again. She only placed one and then turned her little head to look at Liangliang. Her big eyes were brighter than the stars in the dark night.
Liangliang couldn't help but join the team that set up obstacles for the little turtle.
The big one and the small one cooperated more and more tacitly, Yuanyuan giggled, and Liangliang couldn't help laughing too.
He Sizhi heard the laughter and came out to see this scene. For some reason, his eyes felt a little sore.
He quietly sat down cross-legged without making a sound and watched the two children playing.
Gao Yan and Ma Jieyong didn't say anything when they saw it. They sat down and watched.
The three elderly men, with loving faces, quietly accompanied the two children to watch the turtle obstacle course. Under the moonlight, this scene was a bit strange.
Shang Wan paused and deliberately made some noise.
"Mom!" Yuanyuan was the first to look over, her eyes instantly turning into double crescents.
Shang Wan smiled and picked up the person, and said to He Sizhi and others: "The table is set, let's go over and eat."
The three masters and apprentices responded, and He Sizhi stepped forward to hold Liangliang. Seeing Liangliang staring at the little baby in front of him, he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his little head, thinking that it might be a good decision to bring his son with him.
In front of the wooden shed, two torches were inserted into the grooves of the columns, illuminating the dining table below.
There were two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and one soup on the table. The dishes were all tempting, all served in large pots, and the portions were generous.
The aroma of the food wafts out, making you greedy.
Seeing the large pieces of meat in the dish, the master and apprentice were slightly stunned.
I didn’t work today. Is it good to eat like this?
The three of them suspected that this was the meal for the host, and they did not dare to sit down for a while.
Ma Jieyong was a straight man, so he turned around and asked Shitou where their food was.
Shitou was confused by his question and asked: "Aren't they all here? Where do you want to eat?"
Ma Jieyong blurted out, "Can we eat this meat too?"
