Chapter 155

Seeing this, Gu Jinchen had no choice but to take her cloak and follow behind, walking together with Li Qiao who was also left behind.

"You didn't join in this year?" In previous years, Li Qiao would always participate in such lively events without fail.

After all, whenever the village had work to do, young people like Li Qiao were indispensable.

Before Gu Jinchen went out of the village, Li Qiao was always one of those who helped without exception every time.

Gu Jinchen felt awkward standing there with him without any topic, so he asked casually.

Unexpectedly, when Li Qiao heard this, his face became smug. He raised his chin and pointed at a few women in front.

"I have a wife and child to take care of now. They don't need me, let them do it."

"???"

What was with that boastful attitude? As if he was the only one.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinchen smiled: "Oh, what a coincidence, I have one too."

Hearing this, Li Qiao turned and glanced at him, then both of them sneered and walked a few steps away from each other.

...Just as Wang Sister-In-Law and others said, the riverside was indeed very lively today, with almost half the village gathered there to join in the fun.

Older Baby and his group of little rascals had already run over early.

They chose a spot downstream, which was very close to the village's rice fields.

On the riverbank, there was a water outlet specifically used to channel water into the rice fields.

At the moment, a bamboo basket was placed at the water outlet.

When the people in the river pulled the net towards this side, some fish and shrimp would swim through the water outlet, and this basket could catch them.

However, during high tide, some agile fish and shrimp might still escape from the sides.

At the moment, those little rascals were surrounding the water outlet, helping to catch the fish and shrimp that escaped from the sides of the basket.

"I caught one, the biggest one!"

"Mine is bigger than yours!"

"What? Mine is the biggest!"

He had thought this batch of kids was obedient, but now that he saw this, they were just so-so.

Such troublemakers.

The other kids who were also brought up looked at each other and then at their own elders, shrinking their necks in the same way.

Luo Ge turned around, picked up the shoes of the two kids from a pile, and handed them over.

"Put these on and go home for a hot bath and change of clothes."

"Yes."

"Okay."

Hearing Luo Ge's words, the two little ones obediently put on their shoes and meekly followed behind Luo Ge and the others.

Their timid demeanor was almost comical.

Behind them, Wang Sister-In-Law flicked Tie Dan's head disapprovingly.

"Tie Dan, you've gotten too bold, haven't you? You were supposed to go bird egg hunting but instead took the others to play in the cold water?"

"Just...playing for a bit." Tie Dan also felt a bit guilty, his tone meek.

Originally, they did plan to go bird egg hunting, but they just happened to see the commotion by the riverside.

Seeing so many fish and shrimp, so lively, they couldn't help but be tempted.

Since Tie Dan's own father was there too, he led the group of little buddies to play for a bit, but before they knew it, they got carried away.

By the time they realized it, the group of little buddies had become like drowned chicks.

Older Baby and Second Baby were still playing and ended up sitting in the water a few times.

Looking down at his own wet pants, ... he was soaked too.

Suddenly remembering something, he looked up at his own mother.

"Mother, I just fell in the water earlier, I didn't pee my pants."

His expression seemed to fear that his mother would misunderstand and ruin his reputation for life.

"Hah." Hearing this, Wang Sister-In-Law couldn't help but give a wry laugh, her face saying, "Your mother is not stupid or blind."
