When Second Sister went to dig vegetables, he wanted to follow. In the end, her mother did not let him go, but now that Big Sis was going to fish shrimp, he had no choice but to go. Thus, she grabbed onto the water basin in Big Sis's hands without letting go, as if he really could help lift it.
In truth, Lin Chunnuan did not want to bring Chun Xiao there. It was just that how could Lin Chunnuan reject such a cute and lovable Chun Xiao.
"Alright, alright. Big sister will bring you along. However, we've agreed that you're not to be naughty."
As long as his sister could bring him there was nothing Chun Xiao shouldn't do. He was laughing so hard that his ears were almost popping out, continuously nodding his head.
"I'm obedient, sister. I'm obedient, really."
Lin Chunnuan rubbed his little head, she did not have his hair left, it felt soft and comfortable to the touch.
"That's what you promised. Remember, you can't run around, you can't go to the river and play with the water. Elder sister will fill the water basin with water for you to play with. It's dangerous by the river."
"Got it, sis. I'll definitely be obedient. Stop nagging, let's go quickly."
Lin Chunxiao shook his sister's hand and said coquettishly:
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Lin Chunnuan led her brother's hand and led the way.
Mother, then you better bolt the door yourself, Wangzhige might need to carry some water back first, when that time comes, he will knock on the door, if anyone else asks, you better not answer, understand?
Even if there were some idle men in the village, they would not dare to do bad things in other people's houses. Currently, people were all very kind in their bones, even if some of them did not do their work properly, it would not be to the extent of robbing houses and murdering people. Of course, there were exceptions, because this was only for the majority of people.
What Lin Chunnuan was afraid of was someone from the Lin Family, her mother's personality was too weak. Although she had become a little stronger now, the temperament that she had tempered for more than ten years could not be changed in an instant. Especially when facing the Lin Family clansmen, Zhang Liu would have a kind of subconscious fear, so Lin Chunnuan asked her not to open the door.
Although the walls of the courtyard were low, and people would be able to see everything inside, if Zhang Liu did not open the door, the person who came would not dare to jump in. Lin Chunnuan felt that although the people of the Lin Family were not things, they had not reached the point of daring to trespass into the house.
Mother knows what to do and what not to do. Don't worry about Mother, go quickly, make sure to keep an eye on Chun Xiao. "
Everyone had their own worries. Although Zhang Liu was currently more at ease with spring, he was still worried that her son would be too mischievous.
"I'll keep an eye on him. Mother, bolt the door."
After the two of them finished talking, Lin Chunnuan led his brother with one hand and the wooden basin with the other towards the river side. The wooden basin was really heavy, and Lin Chunnuan's carrying it wasn't easy, so he simply carried it on his shoulder.
"Big sister is so smart."
Knowing that he couldn't help his sister, Chun Xiao immediately flattered her. She secretly cheered for him in the spring, even though her brother was still young and smart.
Walking towards the river during the day, only then did he realize that the distance was quite far. That night, because he wanted to walk by the river, he did not feel that far, but walking specifically towards the river, Lin Chunnuan realized that it took him quite a while to reach it.
"Come, leave the water basin here, it's close to the river, after you fish the prawns, you can directly pour them into the basin. I will first get some water from the basin, and look after Chun Xiao, don't let him go into the river."
If the slope was too shallow and the shrimp couldn't swim over, it would be hard to fish for shrimp. But it was a bit more dangerous than the shallow part of the slope, so he needed to look after the kids.
"I understand, Wangzhige, I will definitely not walk towards the river."
Lin Chunxiao hurriedly promised. He was afraid that if he didn't listen, his big sister wouldn't bring him next time. The little leopard had already jumped down from Dou Wang's shoulder and started circling around the water basin with Chun Xiao.
Dou Wang poured half a bucket of water from a bucket into the basin.
"I'm going to get water, you guys stay here and play by yourselves. It's fine if you can't get the prawns, but don't fall into the river, Chun Xiao has to listen to her sister's advice."
After telling him once more, Dou Wang went to pick up the water in peace, picked up the water, and told him again to keep warm during the spring. Seeing that the good child did not run around randomly, he brought the water back home.
"It's not like I'm an ignorant child. Wangzhige has said many times to look out for me, I'm a man after all."
Lin Chunxiao, who had been underestimated, felt that he was injured. Lowering his hand to scoop up the water in the basin, he was a little unhappy and coincidentally scooped out a prawn. He quickly placed it in the basin.
"Big sister, it knows how to move."
Seeing that the Green Shrimp was swimming rather quickly, Lin Chunxiao shouted at his sister. No one shared his mood with her, and only her sister could hear what he said.
"Of course it's moving. It's alive."
Lin Chunnuan held onto the net that was used to fish prawns steadily, and didn't dare to speak loudly, as she was afraid of scaring away the prawns. Seeing that her sister didn't dare to make a sound, Chun Xiao also pulled Little Spotty along to chat, regardless of whether Little Spot understood or not.
When he quietly saw the prawns swimming upstream from the net, Lin Chunnuan quickly fished them out. This time, he wasn't in a hurry to put them in the water basin, instead, there were some prawns swimming in the net, which attracted even more green prawns to swim over.
Pouring all four or five of them into the water basin, the water basin became more lively, causing Chun Xiao to become even more excited. With two prawns squeezed together, he was just about to take them apart, while he himself who was hiding at the side had to let the prawn reach the side of the army. In that moment, the water basin was filled with snoring sounds, causing Chun Xiao to not be lonely.
Little Spot was also in high spirits, following Chun Xiao's example, he stuck a little claw into the water basin and nudged the green prawns inside, causing them to scatter and run around. Chun Xiao and Little Spot were so focused on playing that Spring Warm was able to calm down and fish for prawns, which was a lot faster.
The prawns swam freely in the water, and there were few people who saw them. As a result, they were almost unafraid of humans, the water was crystal clear, and the green prawns were swimming back and forth contentedly, making it easier for Lin Chunnuan to catch them.
When Dou Wang brought the bucket to the side of the river once again, Lin Chunnuan had already caught around twenty to thirty green prawns, and the contents of the water basin had already been muddled by the green prawns' bubbles.
"Yo, we really did get quite a bit of fish. If we get any more, we'll go back together."
Lin Chunnuan nodded her head. Dou Wang was accompanying her, and the two of them fished for a while, looking as though there were more than 40 prawns here, Lin Chunnuan had already decided not to catch them. She really did not expect that the prawns here would be so easy to catch, and it should not even have been two hours.
"Let's go, let's go, Chun Xiao, let's go home, we'll play when we get home."
Chun Xiao on the other hand, was rather obedient and stood up to pick up the little leopard. He was only two years old, hugging the little leopard would still be rather tiring.
Dou Wang had already filled a bucket of water and brought it back, but Lin Chunnuan's basin of water was a little heavy. Although she had trained a lot, in the end, she was still an eight-year-old girl. This basin of water had half a bucket of water, and also had so many prawns, it was really too much for her.
"Come, I'll help you lift it with one hand. This should be enough."
Dou Wang watched as the Spring Breeze carried the water basin but wasn't able to move at all. He then reached out his hand and helped Lin Chunnuan lift half of it. This way, Lin Chunnuan could relax, but Dou Wang was clearly struggling with it.
He had to carry a bucket of water himself, but he was only eleven years old, so he didn't have enough strength.
"Wangzhige, you walk for a bit and then come back to pick me up. We'll just take turns moving forward."
This was the only thing they could do. Dou Wang picked up the bucket and walked forward for a while before returning to receive the warmth of spring. Then, the two of them carried the water basin and walked for a while.
After a few rounds of this, they were getting closer and closer to home.
"Eh, why is there a carriage right in front of our house?"
Although he was still quite a distance from home, Lin Chunnuan could see everything clearly. A carriage was parked in front of his house.
"That's right, I didn't do it when I went back just now. Warm Spring, wait here. I'll go back and take a look first."
Worried that Aunt Lin wouldn't be safe at home by herself, Dou Wang put down the bucket and quickly ran home. However, before he even reached the door, the people in the car heard the sound and came down.
"Big Brother Liu, why have you come?"
Dou Wang never thought that the person who came would be Liu Yunhe, and never thought that he would actually come personally.
"Good little brother Wang, it's hard to enter your house."
Presumably, Aunt Lin was at home by herself and couldn't answer the door.
"Brother Liu, aren't we all not home? Only my wife is home, so I told you, no matter who it is, don't answer. Who would have thought that you would come today."
"Why did you call me Brother Liu again? Isn't it called Big Brother Yunhe? It doesn't sound as if it's close to Big Brother Yunhe at all."
Actually, it didn't matter what Dou Wang was called, the key point was what Chun Wai was called.
"Big Brother Liu, wait a moment. I'll go fetch the spring warmth."
Just as Dou Wang was about to turn around and run away, Liu Yunhe saw Lin Chunnuan in the distance and asked the coachman to help him carry the items.
Not long after, Dou Wang returned with a bucket of water while the driver helped Lin Chunnuan carry the water basin. The basin was filled with green prawns and it caused the driver to be covered with water.
"Thank you so much, big brother. You've gotten yourself some water. Quickly put it down, we're at our doorstep now."
"Mom, we're back. Come open the door, we have a guest."
Zhang Liu heard his daughter's voice and came out of her house. She had just heard the sound of a carriage coming in from outside and she was really shocked by it, only now that she heard his daughter say that it was from another house.
After jogging for two steps, he opened the door quickly, afraid that he would be too slow for his guests.
"Look, a guest has arrived and left the guest outside. I'm sorry."
Liu Yunhe's voice sounded very young, and looking at him, he seemed to be around twenty-four or twenty-five. He looked pretty delicate and pretty, but Liu Yunhe didn't expect that his warm mother would be so young.
"Come in, Big Brother Liu."
Lin Chunnuan never thought that Liu Yunhe would come so fast, and even thought that he would be the happiest person in the world. The day after that, he arrived, and it was indeed a little unexpected.
"Didn't you say that you're called Big Brother Yunhe?" Didn't you say that you're called Big Brother Yunhe?
Lin Chunnuan quickly changed her mind. This was her financial backer, she must not offend him.
"Ha, okay, Big Brother Yunhe, please come in. The house is really small, please forgive me."
