Chapter 3145 The Mischief
"Mom, I'm done cleaning, I'm leaving now."
"Where are you going? Come and help your old man and me!"
"I promised to help Xi'er, you guys go ahead with your business."
Dunzi ran away, but before leaving, he didn't forget to open the chicken coop, release the rooster and a bunch of hens, and scatter a handful of rice on the ground.
When Dunzi's mother came outside, she saw Dunzi already running quickly along the ridge of the field. She had never seen him so eager to get home before.
"Xi'er, Xi'er, I'm here to help! What do you need me to do?"
In the living room, Xi'er was helping her sister pick up the paper-cut window decorations that had been torn from the walls and windows and throwing them into the trash can.
"Look, Dunzi, this is a paper-cut by my sister. Isn't it beautiful?"
"nice."
"Xi'er, go and put the clothes from the washing machine into the bucket. I'll hang them out to dry in the yard later," Tan Jin'er instructed.
"Good~"
Tan Xier, who had just received the task, took it very seriously. She immediately grabbed a small bucket and ran to the washing machine. Then she realized that the bucket was too small and probably wouldn't be able to hold all the clothes, so she quickly went back to change into a larger one and carried it with both hands.
Dunzi followed behind, and after Xier filled the bucket with clothes, the two of them helped each other carry the bucket of clothes to the yard.
The courtyard was bathed in sunshine. The rooster had somehow appeared and was now standing on a large rock, gazing around with an air of great pride.
Xi'er took her job to the end. Although her sister hadn't told her to hang up the clothes, she did it herself.
But the clothesline was hung too high. She jumped up, but couldn't reach it, so she looked at the stool.
Dunzi jumped up and down, then gave an awkward laugh.
He was about the same height as Xi'er, and if Xi'er couldn't reach him, then he certainly couldn't either.
"We can throw the clothes up there," Dunzi suggested.
Xi'er readily agreed, immediately found a pair of her own pants, stood under the clothesline, got ready, and gave a strong flick, managing to throw them off without getting them stuck in the dust.
Xi'er quickly picked it up. "It's dirty. Luckily it's my own pants. I'll go wash them."
She ran to the tap in the yard, turned on the water, and touched it; the water was naturally warm.
"Xi'er, Xi'er~~~~"
Little White arrived on her balance bike, struggling up the hill.
Upon seeing this, Dunzi immediately ran over to help her push the cart.
Finally reaching the courtyard, Little White, panting, turned back to Dunzi and smiled, saying, "Thanks to you, Brother Dunzi, I could have done it myself, hehe~~"
Having learned how to be stubborn like Liuliu, if it weren't for Dunzi's help, this child and his balance bike would have slid down the slope and possibly fallen into the ditch.
Little White had a small bag hanging on her bicycle handlebars. She excitedly took the bag down, took out a sesame ball, and handed it to Dunzi to eat.
"This was just made by my grandma. Try one, it's delicious."
"Thank you."
Dunzi was very obliging and accepted Xiaoxiaobai's sesame balls. Actually, his family also had some; his mother made them yesterday.
Little Bai stared intently at the other person eating, then eagerly asked, "Is it delicious?"
"Delicious, smells so good."
"Hiahia~~ I made this!"
She also helped with making the sesame balls.
She immediately sent one to Xi'er as well, but Xi'er was washing clothes, so she just put it directly into her mouth.
"Is it tasty?"
As soon as the sesame balls touched his lips, Xiao Xiaobai couldn't wait to ask a question.
"It's delicious. Why are you wearing a straw hat today?"
Xi'er saw that Xiao Xiaobai was wearing a straw hat, arm sleeves, and yellow boots.
"Hiahia, I was helping with the cleaning. I just finished. I'm so tired. It's really not easy for me to do this for my family."
She deliberately appeared breathless, as if she were exhausted. But in reality, the house wasn't finished cleaning. She had been kicked out because not only could she not help, but she was also making things worse. She kept knocking over things or making a mess, and she even spilled a bucket of glutinous rice water in her grandparents' room, making the floor wet and slippery. Her grandfather wasn't paying attention and slipped and fell.
Fortunately, there was nothing seriously wrong; apart from a sore buttock, there was no other damage.
"Hurry up, hurry up, or your grandma will beat you!"
Grandpa really loves his granddaughter and told her to run away quickly. Luckily, Robin ran fast; if she had been a little later, her grandma would have caught her and given her a beating. After all, it's not the Lunar New Year, so hitting a child isn't illegal, it's not against her, and it's a fun occasion.
Before leaving, Robin made sure to take a bag of sesame balls with her; it was her lunch. She didn't plan to go home today, as it was just too dangerous!
"You idiot!!! You dare steal my sesame balls!!! Don't you dare run away!!!"
Grandma chased after Robin out of the house with a kitchen knife, scaring him so much that his little legs kicked so hard they were practically smoking. He kept looking back to see if Grandma was still chasing him, and almost got knocked over by a rock in the process.
"Don't chase me, don't chase me~"
Robin, amidst a flurry of activity, finally escaped Baijia Village and headed towards Xi'er's house.
"Are you doing laundry? Sister Xi'er, let me help you."
"No need, no need, I've already finished washing."
"Then I'll help you hang the clothes out to dry."
"No, no... Oh dear~~~"
A small piece of clothing was thrown to the ground by Little White.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry, Sister Xi'er, let me help you wash."
She quickly picked up her dirty clothes from the ground and ran to the tap to wash them.
The three of them stood helplessly under the clothesline. What was a simple task was incredibly difficult for them, children. Xi'er ran to move a stool, but her older sister noticed and told them not to hang the clothes out to dry, and that she would do it herself later.
But the children couldn't stay still. Since they weren't allowed to hang clothes out to dry, they decided to do something else. So they all ran to the kitchen to help Grandma Jiang clean it.
"Look, the Kitchen God didn't eat any of those things."
Robin pointed to the offerings on the stove, thinking that the Kitchen God would eat them, but none of them were touched.
Last night, she wanted to ask her mother for a persimmon from the stove, but her mother chased her away, saying it was for the Kitchen God. But the Kitchen God didn't eat it, so he must have been reluctant to eat it and saved it for her.
"We can't touch it yet. This is an offering to the Kitchen God. Even if the Kitchen God doesn't eat it, we still can't touch it. It's our way of showing our appreciation," Teacher Jiang said.
"Oh~"
Robin reluctantly accepted this explanation. She wandered over to the image of the Kitchen God, looking at it from left to right, but it didn't seem to be the same person as her own Kitchen God.
There must be many Kitchen Gods in the world, and each one looks different. Some have long beards, some have short beards, some look fierce, and some have kind smiles...
Robin took a picture of the offerings and sent it to Liuliu with one click.
Liuliu usually doesn't reply to her messages unless it's unusual.
Dudu replied instantly.
"What's that red thing? A persimmon?"
It was a voice message.
Liuliu took a liking to the persimmons.
"Are you talking to Liuliu?" Xi'er asked Robin.
Robin looked up at her and grinned, "Hehe, I'm just teasing Liuliu."
Xi'er + Dunzi: "..."
Let's have a moment of silence for Liu Liu. She's already being teased by three-year-olds. It's so pitiful.
Teacher Jiang picked up the pot from the stove and put it aside.
Why are you taking apart our pots and pans?
Xi'er was shocked. She went over to take a look and found that the pot in the house was gone, and she could see that the stove was full of wood ash.
"Aren't we living together anymore?" Robin asked, making a startling statement.
This is to clean out the wood ash inside. Over the course of a year, even though I don't live in my hometown most of the time, a thick layer of ash has accumulated.
Xi'er helped remove the ashes, while Robin stood aside watching the show. He felt an itch on his face, so he wiped it off, and his face immediately turned black.
"Hiahia, Robin, you've turned into a cat with a smeared face~~~"
"Hiahiahiahia~~~~ I'm so funny~"
After laughing, Robin ran to look in the mirror and burst into laughter again at his reflection.
"I became a cat with a painted face, hiahia, so funny."
Her smartwatch rang; it was Liu Liu calling. Robin had sent her a bunch of pictures of offerings and then stopped talking, making Liu Liu restless.
