Rhubarb's claws dig holes very hard and are useless in the mud.

This eel came out of the mud on its own to get some air. It was very unlucky that Rhubarb happened to see it, so it was picked out by Rhubarb.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know this, and thought that his silly dog ​​had an extra skill, that it could even catch eels, so he happily pinched the tips of its ears and praised it vigorously.

As a result, it was covered in mud, except for the clean rhubarb on the tips of its ears. I don't know if it was uncomfortable being wrapped in mud. It suddenly shook its body sharply, shaking the sticky mud wildly, and directly confused Qin Xiaoxiao who was closest to it.

Face.

"Ahhhh, stinky rhubarb!" Qin Xiaoxiao went crazy, wiped the mud on his face with his little hand, and chased rhubarb to beat him.

"Woof——" Looking at the little master's face like a tabby cat, Dahuang seemed to realize that he had done something stupid. Seeing the little master rushing towards him to beat the dog, he hurriedly ran away from the crowd with his tail between his legs.

What's even more outrageous is that this guy knew that Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't run away from him, so he looked back while running, grinning and spitting out his long pink tongue, mercilessly mocking Qin Xiaoxiao for his short legs.

Qin Xiaoxiao was so angry that she suddenly wanted to eat dog meat. She picked up her shoes and spread her little feet and ran after him quickly: "Stinky Rhubarb, don't run away!"

"Woof woof -" Dahuang is not stupid. No matter how loud Qin Xiaoxiao shouts, it does not stop. It always keeps a distance with her to prevent her from catching up or letting her fall behind too much.

Meah was inseparable from the man and the dog. He also ran behind with his short tail swung and his hooves clattering. His belly was stretched out into a round ball and was bumpy, as if it would fall down at any time.

"Xiaoxiao, wait for us!"

Hu Qingqing and Sanbao also joined in the fun, happily following Bieya's side, carefully touching its belly with their hands from time to time, for fear that it would explode the next moment.

The golden-red sunset, the green fields, and the people, dogs and sheep chasing each other form the most beautiful natural picture!

Looking at the person and the dog running at the front, Dabao held the fish basket in his left hand and the wooden bucket in his right hand. He smiled unconsciously on his face and shouted to his sister who was having a hard time chasing: "If you can run, the monk will not be able to run away from the temple. Wait until you get back."

When you get home, my brother will clean it up with you."

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao, who was out of breath, stopped decisively, put her little arms on her waist, raised her chin and shouted to Dahuang: "You run, you run, I won't give you food at night!"

Dahuang didn't understand. When he saw that his little master stopped chasing him, he stopped again and tilted his head to look at the little master in confusion, as if he was asking why he stopped chasing the dog.

Qin Xiaoxiao ignored it and saw a small pond not far away. She looked at her muddy little feet and said to Dabao: "Brother, let's wash our feet and put on shoes. These grasses can

Tie!"

Dabao knew that she rarely walked barefoot and was just not used to it, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let me find a place for you to wash your feet."

After walking around the small pond, Dabao took his younger brothers and sisters to a place suitable for washing their hands and feet. He was afraid that they would accidentally slip into the water, so he washed them one by one first, and finally washed himself.

Put on shoes.

Dahuang also wanted to take a bath, but for fear of being beaten by Qin Xiaoxiao, he did not dare to approach them. He quietly ran to the other side and plunged into the water. He swam back and forth twice and washed off the mud on his body.

After landing on the shore, it shook off the water droplets on its body like mud, and its fur quickly became clean and fluffy, completely different from the previous dog.

When Dabao returned home with his younger brothers and sisters, the first thing he did was to weigh the two eels separately. The two eels were about the same size. After being weighed, they both weighed one pound and eighty taels, which was two taels heavier than the one yesterday.

Erbao, Sanbao and Hu Qingqing were looking at the eels with particularly eager eyes. You and I were talking about asking the adults to use the money from selling the eels to buy bags of candies for them to sweeten their mouths.

Qin Xiaoxiao was more interested in popping eel slices. She squatted by the water basin and looked at the two large eels sinking at the bottom of the water. She said happily: "One is sold for meat, and the other is used for eating. It's really good!"

Dabao said deliberately: "We just ate last night. Grandpa will definitely sell these two eels. We can make a lot more money!"

Qin Xiaoxiao was not worried at all, and said rationally: "Grandpa's birthday is the day after tomorrow, and my aunt and uncle are coming over. This eel is just a good addition to the dish. Grandpa won't sell them all."

Dabao was speechless and pinched his sister's face angrily: "Little girl, your mind is spinning faster and faster. My brother can't even speak to you."

Qin Xiaoxiao made a face at the eldest brother: "It's because the eldest brother is too stupid!"

Dabao raised his hand as if to deal with her.

Qin Xiaoxiao shouted softly: "Help, Qin Dabao is bullying the child!"

Dabao pretended to be angry and grabbed the little girl, and tapped her forehead twice with his fingers: "No big, no small!"

Qin Xiaoxiao covered her forehead and pretended to cry: "Big brother is bad!"

Hu Qingqing and Sanbao saw it and mistakenly thought that Dabao was really bullying Qin Xiaoxiao, so they rushed over to block her: "Big cousin (eldest brother), don't bully Xiaoxiao!"

Qin Xiaoxiao hid behind her younger cousin and younger cousin, looking at Dabao's sweet smile, clearly feeling proud.

Dabao was so angry and funny that he explained it to his younger siblings and took out a few snacks that he had hidden for an unknown amount of time and gave them to them to eat. He finally got rid of the "notoriety" of bullying his younger sister.

The sound of fighting in the yard reached Zhao Xiuxiu's ears in the room, and she unconsciously felt a little irritated between her brows.

Xueya, who was chatting with her, noticed it and asked, "Are you too noisy? I'll go out and talk to them and let them go outside to play."

Zhao Xiuxiu didn't mind the noise, but just seeing them happy made her feel very uncomfortable. Hearing Xue Ya's words, she was about to nod, but then she thought about how she would have to turn her tail between her legs in the next month, and couldn't help but said in annoyance: "Forget it.

Forget it, let them make trouble!"

Xueya looked at her in surprise and felt a little happy. Sister Xiuxiu had a particularly bad temper in the past two days. She often lost her temper for no reason, which made her nervous, for fear of offending her somewhere.

Now Sister Xiuxiu can be patient and no longer follows her own temper. She should be able to change for the better in the future, right?

Zhao Xiuxiu didn't know what Xueya was thinking, so she told her another thing: "Grandpa's birthday is the day after tomorrow. My eldest cousin's family will come over, and I don't know if my little cousin will come."

Xue Ya said: "You will come, my aunt used to come when my grandparents were born, but my uncle probably won't."

Zhao Xiuxiu muttered: "It would be better if you don't even come."

After saying that, she thought of something and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Xueya didn't hear clearly and said doubtfully: "Sister Xiuxiu, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly."

Zhao Xiuxiu immediately sat up straight and shook her head: "I didn't say anything. You heard me wrong."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Xueya was afraid that she would lose her temper again if she continued to ask, so she didn't ask further questions.

The sun has just gone down and everyone who worked in the fields has returned home.

Looking at the two large eels in the water basin, the adults, who had been depressed all day, had a little smile on their faces.

Qin Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to find Mr. Qin, shook his hand and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, the day after tomorrow is your birthday. Your third uncle is coming back, and your aunt and uncle are coming too. How about we save an eel to make fried eel slices!"

Mr. Qin knew that his granddaughter was greedy, so he wanted to tease her: "If I sell all two eels, I can exchange them for your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice cakes, peanut candies, and oily fruits. If I only sell one, I can't buy you delicious food."

That’s it.”

Qin Xiaoxiao frowned, wandering back and forth between the fried eel slices and the glutinous rice cakes and fruit preserves. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "I'm rich. I have a lot of money to buy delicious food. I don't need to sell it."

eel."

Last time I went to the city, I won a big prize of eighty-eight taels of silver from Deyilou. Mr. Qin accepted thirty-eight taels, and Lin Qiuniang kept the remaining fifty-eight taels. The couple said that the money was for the little girl.

Yes, this is what she meant by "a lot of money".

Except for Mr. Qin, Qin Shan, Lin Qiuniang, who knew about it, and Qin He, who will come back tomorrow, others did not know the existence of this money and thought the little girl was talking about the New Year's money she usually saved.

Zhao Cao'er joked: "Hey, I went to the city last time to buy so many things, and the money hasn't been used up yet! Come on, tell Second Aunt how much money you have left, which will make Second Aunt jealous."

Qin Xiaoxiao was about to speak when she suddenly remembered her parents' instructions. She realized that she seemed to have let slip something, and hurriedly asked her parents for help in dealing with the second aunt.

My parents have said that the hidden money is a big secret and cannot be told to anyone. Otherwise, it will accidentally spread outside and attract thieves and robbers to the family, who will steal everything in the house.

When Qin Shan was about to speak, Lin Qiuniang stopped him and told him not to speak. Mr. Qin, who originally wanted to speak out, guessed that the eldest daughter-in-law was afraid that he would use this incident to teach his granddaughter, so he suppressed his words.

.

When Zhao Cao'er saw her niece's reaction, she mistakenly thought that the money her niece mentioned was the money saved by her elder brother and sister-in-law over the years.

I thought about how my eldest brother had gone to the city to look for work whenever he had free time in the past few years. Every time he came back, he would buy a lot of things for his little niece. He must have made a lot of money, so he was very curious about how much money he had saved.

So, she quickly took Qin Xiaoxiao's little hand and said, "Look what your parents are doing, can't you tell the second aunt?"

"No, I can't say..." Qin Xiaoxiao was sweating anxiously, and her little eyes looking for help from her parents looked pitiful.

It was only then that Lin Qiuniang came over, pulled Qin Xiaoxiao away with a smile, and said to Zhao Caoer: "My younger brothers and sisters want to know how much money your eldest brother and I have saved, just ask me directly, how could Xiaoxiao know this.

"

Zhao Cao'er retracted her hand nonchalantly: "I was joking, but my sister-in-law misunderstood."

Lin Qiuniang smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Cao'er was even more embarrassed. He wanted to add a few words, but he was afraid of being kicked back and even more embarrassed, so he didn't speak.

Qin Chuan was too embarrassed to raise his head and scolded his stupid wife in his heart.

When the couple returned to the room, Zhao Cao'er collapsed on the bed weakly. The next moment, he suddenly sat up and said to Qin Chuan, who was fanning his eyes with bright eyes: "Listen to the meaning of the joke, the big room is here."

I must have saved a lot of money over the years.”

Qin Chuan was still annoyed that she had embarrassed him, and said angrily: "No matter how much you save, it doesn't matter to you. In the future, don't inquire about Dafang's private affairs."

Zhao Caoer was so angry that he jumped out of bed, rushed over and punched him a few times: "You think I'm embarrassed, don't you? Then when I asked, you farted. Why did you listen with your ears up?"

Qin Chuan's innermost thoughts were exposed, and he pushed her away in shame: "You can ask, but I can't listen."

Zhao Cao'er rolled his eyes, having seen through his behavior a long time ago.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qin Chuan came up to her and said, "How much do you think Da Fang has saved? I just laughed at a girl, why are you working so hard to make money?"

It's okay not to say this. When Zhao Cao'er said it, he got angry again and pinched Qin Chuan's ears: "My eldest brother only has a daughter who knows how to make money desperately. Your three damn sons go to the entrance of the village to attract cats when they have no time."

Dog, how could I be blind and fall in love with you!"

Qin Chuan pulled off Zhao Cao'er's hand and slapped him back angrily: "You think I'm not hardworking enough, so why don't you say you're lazy? We're just a rotten pot and a broken lid, so we're a perfect match!"

When Zhao Cao'er heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to pounce on him and bite him twice. But when he thought about it, he felt tired as soon as he fell to the ground. It took him half a month to make a pair of shoes for the baby. He was really lazy.
