Hard work after winning the lottery

On the other hand, Hua Mutou wasn't doing much better.

Little Potato is a doer.

He felt the chessboard was in his way, blocking his path as he crawled.

So, the kid grabbed the edge of the chessboard with both hands and forcefully lifted it up—

"Splash!"

The Chu River and Han Border collapsed in an instant.

Chariots, horses, and cannons rolled all over the ground.

Hua Mutou looked at the mess on the ground, his beard trembling.

I was just about to explode.

The little potato had climbed onto his lap, smeared his face with drool, and was calling out in a babyish voice, "Grandpa! Hug me!"

have to.

This game is unplayable.

The two old men, who were usually so decisive, could only look at each other helplessly at this moment.

Then, with a smile, he bent down and picked up the chess pieces one by one.

"It's not raining anymore! Let's take the kids!"

"Come on! Grandpa will pick some cucumbers for you to eat!"

That evening, as the sun set, a cool breeze blew along the shores of Baixi Lake.

As the eldest brother, Si'an brought his younger siblings to the lake to catch shrimp.

The water in Baixi Lake is crystal clear, and the lakeside is covered with reeds, making it a great place to play.

Si'an repeatedly warned, "You can only stay on the shore! No going into the water! If anyone gets their shoes wet, I'll tell Mom when we get home!"

This is the trump card.

Everyone nodded obediently.

Si Tao is a very handy kid. He broke off a few reeds from somewhere, found a piece of wood, and quickly made a simple little sailboat.

"Behold my 'Invincible'!"

He put the small boat into the water and gave it a gentle push.

The small boat swayed gently and drifted away with the current.

Nuannuan stared, her eyes wide with amazement.

"The boat! It's drifted away!"

The child's attention was completely focused on the boat, and he completely forgot his older brother's instructions.

She chased after the small boat, running along the shore.

With my eyes fixed on the water, I couldn't see the path beneath my feet.

The grass by the lake was covered with moss and was a bit slippery.

Seeing the small boat drifting further and further away, Nuannuan became anxious and took a big step forward, trying to grab the reed.

result.

My foot slipped.

"Slurp—"

Its little body instantly lost its balance and plunged into the water!

"Warm and cozy!"

That instant.

Si'an felt as if her heart was about to stop beating.

My mind went blank, but my body reacted faster than my brain.

He practically pounced on him.

Just a second before Nuannuan was about to have a close encounter with the lake water.

A hand gripped the strap of her overalls tightly.

"Splash!"

Although she managed to grab the person, the momentum still caused Si'an to step into the water with one foot.

I was splashed with mud and water.

But he couldn't care less about any of that.

With a strong pull, like lifting a chick, he lifted the still-shaken Nuannuan back and placed her on the safe grass.

"Wow--!"

Nuannuan was also terrified. She sat on the grass and belatedly started crying.

Si'an at this moment.

I'm so angry!

I was both scared and angry!

He looked at his sister, who was still howling, and was about to give her a stern scolding to teach her a lesson.

"Zhou Nianyun! Are you an idiot?! Didn't I say..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Nuannuan cried as she stretched out her two dirty little hands and hugged Si'an's muddy trouser legs.

Looking up at her tear-streaked face, she sobbed and cried out:

"Brother...brother...I'm scared...hug me..."

That instant.

All the anger, all the blame.

In that soft, sweet "brother," everything turned into a helpless sigh.

He took a deep breath and squatted down.

He didn't mind the dirt and hugged the little mud monkey into his arms.

His hand gently patted her back, his voice still trembling, but it was incredibly tender:

"Don't cry."

"Brother is here."

"From now on... you're not allowed to run around anymore, understand?"

Nuannuan wiped her tears and snot all over her older brother's expensive T-shirt and nodded vigorously:

"I...I heard it..."

Not far away, Si Tao and Sile, who witnessed this scene, were also quite frightened, and only then did they dare to come closer.

"That scared me to death..." Si Tao patted her chest. "If my sister had fallen, Dad would have skinned me alive."

Sile was still shaken: "Luckily, my brother reacted quickly."

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the four children, casting long shadows on them.

Nuannuan gradually stopped crying in her brother's arms.

She looked at the beads of sweat on her brother's face from nervousness and suddenly burst into laughter through her tears.

She stretched out her dirty little hand and wiped her brother's sweat.

"Brother, you're dirty."

Si'an looked at her sister's carefree smiling face.

He shook his head helplessly.

This lifetime.

I've been defeated by this little devil.

As the sun began to set, the aroma of firewood wafted from the stoves in Baixi Village.

Li Guifen, wearing a floral apron and holding a spatula, leaned half her body out of the kitchen window and shouted towards the rocking chair in the yard:

"Yunyun! What do you want to eat tonight? Mom will make it for you!"

Hua Yun was slumped in the rocking chair, looking like she had no bones. That's the advantage of going back to your parents' home. Even if you're a mother of four, as long as your own mother is there, you're still a baby. She was holding a palm-leaf fan and idly fanning herself. She was thinking of just making some noodles, but then she caught a whiff of cumin wafting from next door.

That's Uncle Er from next door stir-frying meat.

Hua Yun's appetite was instantly whetted; her eyes lit up like two light bulbs, and she sat bolt upright.

"Mom! I want to eat roast whole lamb!"

"Roasted Lamb?"

Li Guifen paused for a moment, then beamed, her wrinkles around her eyes radiating affection. "Sure! What's so difficult about that? You look so greedy, just like you did when you were little. Wait here, let your dad and brother get to work. Our sheep farm has everything, but we don't lack sheep!"

Hua Shu was feeding hay to several newly weaned lambs in the sheep farm when he heard his wife's instructions on the phone. Without saying a word, he put down the hay fork in his hand and patted the hay off his rump.

"Alright! If my daughter wants to eat it, I'll get her dragon meat from the heavens, let alone this sheep from the ground."

The old man had a sharp eye; he strolled around the sheepfold with his hands behind his back.

Finally, they settled on a well-proportioned black goat lamb with glossy fur in the corner.

This sheep was really unlucky; it was chewing grass when it was called out by this "King of Hell".

"You're the one! The fat content is just right, you'll definitely sizzle and drip oil when you bake them."

Not long after, Hua An also brought Little Potato home.

Little Potato still had half a bear-shaped cookie that Nuannuan had given him earlier stuffed in his mouth, his cheeks bulging out like a squirrel.

As soon as we entered the yard, Little Potato struggled to get down onto the ground.

Because he saw Nuannuan.

"Sister! Sister!"

The little guy, with his two short legs, stumbled and ran towards Nuannuan.

Nuannuan was squatting on the ground watching ants move their nest when she heard a noise. She turned around, immediately opened her arms:

"Little Potato!"

The two little brats were huddled together, chattering away about who knows what.

"Sister, sheep..." Little Potato pointed to the sheep that his grandfather had led in.

"Shh!" Nuan Nuan put a finger to her lips. "Don't be loud, or the sheep will be scared away and we won't have any meat to eat."

Little Potato nodded as if he understood, then quickly covered his mouth, leaving only his big, round eyes showing.
