Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 402

Cheng He said: "How can anyone go swimming at noon? Wait a little longer."

Cheng Xinxin lay on his lap, and said childishly, "No, I'm going, I'm going to swim."

As the little girl spoke, the toe of her right foot touched the ground again and again.Suddenly seeing a pattern on Dad's belt buckle, she stretched out her hand and said while picking, "Dad, this one looks like a little rabbit."

Cheng He sat up, hugged her and said, "Baby, it's noon now, we just had dinner, we can't swim! Be careful of getting sick."

"Why are you sick?" Cheng Xinxin asked.

"Because the temperature difference is too large, it's too hot at noon and the water is very cold, so it's easy to get sick." Cheng He explained to her seriously.

Cheng Xinxin didn't quite understand, and said, "Ximei's older brothers have gone swimming."

"He's not swimming, he's playing by the water. If you want to go, let's go swimming this afternoon, shall we?"

"Okay." Cheng Xinxin was always easy to talk to.

Cheng He put her down and said, "The weather is hot, let me go get some tea to cool off."

Earlier Wen Qingsong brought over some fresh sour plums, just in time to make some sour plum tea, drink it to cool off the heat, and whet your appetite.

"Honey, I'll help you." Bai Qian said after her.

Cheng Xinxin followed suit, "Honey, I'll help you."

Bai Qian turned her head and said, "Xinxin, I told you that you can't call me husband."

Cheng Xinxin said again, "Father, I'll help you."

Cheng He grabbed a handful of mung beans, chopped green plums a few times, and boiled them together in water. When it was almost the same, he added a handful of rock sugar into it.

This is a very common sour plum soup, sweet and sour, appetizing and quenching thirst, adding mung beans also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.

While busy with his work, Cheng He said, "Our sour plums are still very famous. Cao Cao used to say 'look at the plums to quench thirst', and he was talking about this kind of plums. Later, green plums are cooked in wine. How about it? Great, isn't it? .”

Bai Qian watched him busy, making these things that she had never seen before, and she was very impressed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and said in her mouth: "I love to give money to you here!"

Cheng He saw that the contents of the pot were almost boiled, and he wanted to take out the pot and soak it in cold water, and when he came back in a while, it would be cool enough to drink.

He said, "What about 'you, us'? You're from here yourself, you know?"

"Yes, yes, master, official, I know." Bai Qian pursed her lips into a smile, gently wrapped her arms around his arm, and leaned on his shoulder.

Cheng He said: "Hey, go away a little bit, you won't be afraid of being burned!"

"Hmph! I know, you just don't like me approaching!" Bai Qian pouts, twists her waist, backs away, leads Cheng Xinxin and says, "Come on, baby, let's go swimming, don't want your father to go. "

Cheng Xinxin broke free from her hand, ran towards Cheng He, hugged his leg and said, "I want Dad to go, I want Dad to go."

Bai Qian only felt quite hurt in her heart, the child was not in the same camp as her.

Cheng He had no choice but to say again: "Xinxin darling, go away a little bit, and be careful not to burn you."

But Cheng Xinxin seemed to grow on his lap, when he took a step forward, she followed suit.

Cheng He filtered the freshly cooked soup to remove residue, then soaked it in well water, picked up the small pendant on his lap, and said, "Okay, let's go."

Cheng Xinxin laughed happily and said, "Okay, let's go."

Cheng He held her with one hand, and picked up a bucket by the way, and said, "We didn't go in vain, we brought something back."

"What are you bringing?" Bai Qian and Cheng Xinxin asked together.

"You'll know when you go."

There are a lot of delicious food in the river, so you can't come back empty-handed after going there.

So Bai Qian held up an umbrella to support Cheng He and his daughter, and the whole family went out again.

Cheng He said: "Go out at noon, you are really not afraid of the heat."

Cheng Xinxin pouted and said, "Dad, you just said it's noon, but it's been so long, it's not noon now."

Cheng He said with a smile: "Hahaha, Dad was wrong. It's not noon, it's noon. But it's still very hot."

As soon as he went out, he ran into Cheng Shi head-on.

Cheng Shi said: "Hey, it's just right, I'm going to find you. My parents told you to come to our place for dinner in the afternoon."

"What's for dinner?" Cheng He asked.

He has already planned to make sour plum duck for dinner.

Cheng Shi said: "They said, isn't it good to see Xinxin's mother? Pick up our house for a meal, and let's have a lively time together."

There is such a particularity in this area. For example, if someone in the family recovers from a serious illness, the close relatives will invite the person to have a meal at home. It means "congratulations on recovery from a serious illness" and "to get rid of bad luck". mean.

This kind of particularity is not a rule, and the relatives who have a good relationship will abide by it; and if they usually quarrel non-stop, they naturally don't want to be so particular about it.

But Cheng He and Cheng Shi didn't talk about each other. Although they have been out of the fifth server and are relatively distant, they played together and went to school since they were young, and their friendship has always been good.

So, this time they also paid attention to it.Bai Qian suffered from a serious illness, and now that she is recovering, they will come to invite her.

Cheng He said politely: "Oh, don't be so particular, she doesn't have much to do."

If it was just Cheng Shi's family, Cheng He didn't have to meet outside, and it was fine to have a meal.Usually, the two families often eat at my house and I eat at your house.

What Cheng He was worried about was, what if, starting from Cheng Shi's family, other people would have to invite them one by one?
This is certainly possible.The villagers are now very enthusiastic and grateful to Cheng He.If they saw Cheng He went to Cheng Shi's house, the rest of the family would definitely not be left behind.

However, Cheng Shi only threw one sentence at him: "Then if you don't come, our chickens and ducks are all killed, what do you think?"

Bai Qian didn't understand these customs at all, so she could only listen to them in a daze, unable to interject.

But when she thought about it, she had to eat it once in every family in the whole village, that would be really... what.Her "new daughter-in-law" has never been so publicized in the village, so she is a little nervous.

However, as long as Cheng He is here, she doesn't have to be afraid.

Cheng He declined twice, but it was really difficult to evade, so he had to agree.

Cheng Shi looked at him carrying the bucket and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go and get some snails, clam shells and so on. These two always want to go swimming. It's very sunny in the pond now. In fact, the sun is not so strong in the afternoon." Cheng He said.

They all grew up by the pond, and Cheng Shi also said: "It's better not to go now, the water is scalding hot now, so if you go in, you will boil it in lukewarm water."

Cheng He gently scratched the tip of Cheng Xin's nose, and said, "Did you hear that? What did Uncle Cheng Shi say?"

Cheng Xinxin immediately turned her face away, not looking at Cheng Shi, nor paying attention to him.In her heart, what this uncle said must be lies, he always likes to be funny.

However, Cheng He didn't go back immediately, and said: "You are not afraid of the heat, let's take a stroll nearby."

In fact, as long as you walk along the side of the pond in a shaded place and slow down, it won't be really that hot.

The ponds are not all hot, those shaded places are very cool, like indoor swimming pools.

But Cheng He wanted to go further with them.There are a lot of tourists now, so they have to go to the farther pond so that no one will disturb them.
