Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dangerous Pond

She carried the dustpan containing soybeans and put it on the concrete floor, and then went to look for the red turner. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The two children, looking at the soybeans in the dustpan, drooled greedily.

The greedy Taotao grabbed a soybean first, threw it into his mouth, and when he chewed it, he found that he couldn't bite it, so he spit it out. It turned out that the soybeans that Dongmei brought over to teach them to count were raw. Nana saw her brother throw a soybean into her mouth, and she also threw a soybean into her mouth like her brother, and when she bit it, she couldn't bite it, and she almost broke her teeth, Nana spit a few mouthfuls on the ground and ran away.

And Tao Tao turned around twice in place, and found that it was not fun at all, so he also ran away.

When Dongmei came over, she found that the two children had escaped, so she went to the sand pile to catch Taotao and the mud ditch to catch Nana.

Nana just caught it for a while, and ran away again, Dongmei thought that Nana was too young anyway and might not be able to learn, so she decided to teach Taotao alone. But Tao Tao is too playful, he is worried about playing with sand, and he has no intention of studying, and Dong Meihua has an afternoon of time, and he has not taught Tao Tao to count from one to five.

In the summer, the sun is scorching and the heat wave is rolling.

At the west end of Cuijia Village, there is a small stream not far away, and the stream surrounds a pond.

Every two o'clock in the afternoon, the women of the village would bring their children to the side of the stream.

At that time, in the rural areas of the northwest, there was no bathhouse at all, and the adults would boil some water in their own yards to wash them, and the children would take a bath by the adults to the stream, take off their essence, and wash from top to bottom in the stream.

At noon, the sun-basking water of the stream is very warm.

Dongmei packed up soap and towels, shaved the heads of the two children with a razor, and then took the two children to the stream.

Taotao touched Nana's bald head, Nana touched Taotao's bald head, and the two children looked at each other and smiled.

The reason why Dongmei wants to shave the heads of the two children is because I have heard that if the children's hair is thin, they often shave their heads and bake them, and after a long time, the original thinning hair will slowly become thicker.

Dongmei's hair is much darker, but the two children don't have much hair, especially Taotao, his hair is soft and thin, Dongmei shaved his head shortly after Taotao was born, but he didn't see much good effect.

When the two children saw the stream, they were happy to jump into the stream, but Dongmei hurriedly grabbed the children and stripped the two of them naked before letting them play in the stream.

The water is clear and clear, very clean, and there is no pollution at all.

As he walked, he crossed the stream and walked to the edge of the pond surrounded by the stream.

Although the water in the pond is not as clean and clear as the stream, there are fish swimming in it, and occasionally a red carp, swimming to the feet of the waves, and then snorting and slipping away.

Tao Tao stood by the pond, eager to try, trying to step in with one foot.

Dongmei, who was bathing Nana, inadvertently looked up and found that Taotao had actually put one of her little feet deep into the pond, Dongmei was shocked, hurriedly threw down the towel in her hand, and shouted at Taotao: "Taotao, what are you doing, come back to me quickly." With that, she stood up and prepared to go and get Tao Tao back.

Tao Tao heard his mother calling him, turned his head back and said, "I'm catching red fish." ā€

He saw his mother coming in his direction, but he still put his other foot into the pond.

Dongmei strode over, grabbed Taotao's arm, and lifted him out of the pond with a light lift.

Dongmei slapped him twice in the ass, and then reprimanded him: "You just go into the pond well, do you know how many big brothers and sisters drowned in it?"

Tao Tao is already skinny, as long as his mother said him loudly, he would cry, but now his mother beats him, as long as it is not very heavy, he usually does not cry.

Tao Tao was picked up by his mother and slipped into the stream, but he still looked into the pond and said that he wanted red fish.

While bathing Nana, Dongmei replied to him: "This pond is contracted by Wukui in the west of the village, and if you want red fish, you have to pay for it." ā€

Tao Tao heard that the red fish wanted to buy it with money, so he didn't want it, although he was young, but he knew in his heart that his mother had no money, only his grandmother had money.

Dongmei finished bathing Nana, then washed Taotao, and washed the two children before taking out the soap horns picked from the tree and preparing to wash her own hair.

Before washing her hair, she looked at Tao Tao wanting to fish, so she pulled Tao Tao to a bend in the stream, although it is shallow, but it is a sharp mouth, the water flow is narrow, and occasionally a small fish pass by here, it is easy to catch, so she told Tao Tao: "Adults catch big fish, you are a child, you catch small fish." ā€

After speaking, Dongmei turned around and left, and after walking two steps, he stopped and said to Taotao: "My sister will chase after me in a while, you will take her to catch fish here, don't run around, be obedient." ā€

Tao Tao nodded happily.

Before leaving, Dongmei saw that Taotao used all her strength and caught a fish for most of the day, so she used the basin to catch a few small fish for the children, which satisfied the children's wishes.

In the past few days, whenever she takes a nap, Dongmei will sleep on the edge of the kang, deliberately blocking the two children in the kang, afraid that they will sneak out.

Nana is generally more obedient and sleeps obediently when she sleeps, but Taotao is disobedient, does not take a nap, and often secretly runs out to play when her mother is asleep.

Now, Dongmei has a heart, she deliberately sleeps on the edge of the kang, blocking Taotao, as long as Taotao wants to get off the kang, she has to pass her body, Dongmei sleeps very lightly, even if Taotao touches herself slightly, she will wake up immediately.

At noon that day, Dongmei beckoned the children who had eaten lunch to take a nap, and it was not until she saw that the two children were asleep that she closed her eyes and fell asleep with peace of mind.

I never thought that Dongmei was sleeping in Zhengxiang, and suddenly heard an old woman in the yard shouting: "Orchid, orchid, you look at your Taotaowa and play "step on the pedal" in the pond." ā€

Although Dongmei was sleeping in a daze, the voice could still be distinguished, wasn't this the voice of the fifth woman next door? She was calling her mother-in-law's name.

However, how can she call Tao Taowa, isn't Tao Taowa asleep next to her, so she rubbed her eyes, turned over and looked, inside the kang, only Nana was sleeping obediently, Tao Tao had long since disappeared, and then thought of the pond in the village, Dongmei sat up in shock.

Dongmei put on a shirt and didn't bother to put on her shoes, so she rushed out barefoot.

As soon as Dongmei's front foot went out, the mother-in-law, who was wrapped in her little feet, followed out with her hind foot.

The road in the village was a dirt road, full of potholes, and many small stones, and Dongmei was so worried about whether Taotao would drown in the pond, and she didn't feel the pain of tiptoeing on the ground barefoot.

When Dongmei arrived at the pond, she clearly saw Taotao holding a fallen tree with both hands, and his whole body was submerged in the pond except for his head.

Dongmei saw this scene, and rushed into the pond without thinking about it, although she ran fast in the stream, but seeing the child in danger, she was very unlucky to be able to step on a pair of hot wheels on her feet and fly to the child.

But when Dongmei rushed to the child, Taotao saw her mother coming, but she smiled at her, and after laughing, she opened her mouth and said, "Mom, I'm catching fish." ā€

Dongmei held on to the fallen tree, one foot deep and one foot shallow towards the waves, she felt that the water here was very deep, if she hadn't grabbed the tree, her head might have been flooded.

She held the waves in one hand and the tree in the other, and struggled to move towards the shore.

On the shore, Dongmei's clothes were all wet, she looked at Taotao who was standing in front of her with her bare buttocks and two hands protecting ****, her heart was very uncomfortable, and she said with a smile while crying: "Don't listen to your mother, your father is not here, I can't control you, isn't it, if you drown in this pond today, your father came back from Xinjiang, how can I explain to him, you let me live or not." ā€

After speaking, Dongmei wiped the tears on her face, grabbed Taotao's arm angrily, and slapped him on the ass a few times.

At this time, the mother-in-law who came from behind saw Dongmei beating her grandson, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Dongmei, not letting her beat and said, "What about the doll, what are you fighting?"

Dongmei shook the water on her body, thinking that the reason why Taotao was so disobedient was like a wild child, all of which were used to by her mother-in-law, so she asked her mother-in-law and said: "The child is educated, not habitual, you protect him like this, not for him, but for him." ā€

After Dongmei finished speaking, tears were about to flow out, he didn't know how a woman could educate her children well without her father's education.

The mother-in-law continued to protect Taotao and said: "Who said that I hurt him, my children are all managed by me like this, none of them are excellent, and I don't see who I have harmed." ā€

Dongmei saw that her mother-in-law was even more powerful than herself, and her nose was sour in an instant, thinking that she couldn't beat her mother-in-law in terms of educating children, so she pointed at Taotao and said, "You are like this, when you grow up, you will know who hurt you." After speaking, Dongmei wiped her tears and walked away wet.

On this day, it was time to hand over the pigs.

At this time, as long as there are merchants from other places, the villagers will drive the big fat pigs that have been raised for a year out of their pigsty and sell them to the merchants.

Dongmei's pigs are very big and fat, and they are sold for hundreds of yuan.

After Dongmei and her mother-in-law sold the pig, they held the hundreds of dollars in their hands, and their hearts were full of joy.

But the problem came one after another, every year during the pig season, because everyone has cash, there will be burglary or robbery in the middle of the night.

The mother-in-law and Dongmei put the money in the cabinet first, and felt that the cabinet was too conspicuous and unsafe, so they took it out again, searched and searched, found a crockpot, stuffed the money into the crockpot, and then closed the lid, thinking that the thief would not find it.

But just after turning around, the mother-in-law said that the thief's favorite thing to do is to turn over the cabinet, and this crockpot can't escape the fate of being found, so she felt unsafe, and turned around and took out the money again.

In the end, after thinking about it, I thought of a foolproof plan, the mother-in-law first put the wallet in the cloth, three layers inside, three layers outside, wrapped it tightly, and then put the money in a small cage, covered it with a layer of cloth, and finally put the cage on the rafters of the ceiling, which is the safest here, if it is not a person who walks on the wall, it is generally impossible to find it.

At night, in her own house, the lights were turned off, and after Dongmei coaxed the two children to sleep, she breathed a sigh of relief, saying that she was tired of a day, and now she could finally sleep comfortably.

However, as soon as his eyes were closed, and he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a "creak" sound from the back door, and Dongmei suddenly woke up, and he wondered if someone was opening the back door?
