Shanshui County because of the emperor's assassination, even the joy of the completion of the mountain waterway is a little less, and now many people are secretly looking forward to the emperor leaving quickly, don't stay here and affect their lives.

Even after the withdrawal of troops, the atmosphere in the county town was not good, and Father Du simply took a large family to live in Dujia Village and did not go back.

Since Du Xiaoxi woke up that day, he has resumed his ordinary rural life, occasionally cutting grass and catching a fish.

On a July day, Shanshui County is already very hot, and you can sweat when you lie on the kang and sleep for a while. The family couldn't stay at home, so the villagers ran to the river in groups to soak in water.

Daddy Du is fat and loves oil, and summer is the most difficult, and he has to go to the river to soak almost every day.

Looking at the hot girl who couldn't sleep on the bed, Daddy Du picked up Du Xiaoxi and walked out, shouting as he walked, "Qilang, Hachilang, Jiulang, Xiaohuzi, let's soak in the water!" ”

Du Qi Du Xiaohu heard Qi Qi cheering, and even Du Jiu, who usually doesn't like to babble, dragged his shoes and ran out with a smile, as for Du Ba, hehe, I don't need my father to ask him to sneak out to play a long time ago.

Daddy Du held his daughter with one hand and glanced at a few boys, "Call Xiaoyun together, let's teach Xiaoxi and Xiaoyun to swim in the water today." Du Qi rushed to Du Zhilian's door and shouted: "Xiaoyun, get up quickly!" Go swimming! ”

Daddy Du can be heard talking in the yard and the house can be heard, Zhao E heard her father-in-law say that she would take the child to swim, so she put down the straw sandals she was weaving in her hand, and went to find shorts for Du Xiaoyun with her stomach up, thinking that her child would not be able to swim a little worried, so she pushed Du Zhilian, who was sleeping on the boat, and said: "San Lang, Dad takes Xiaoqi and them to swim, you follow and watch the point." ”

Du Zhilian responded, dragged his shoes, picked up Du Xiaoyun and his sweatshirt and went out, looking at the silly son in his arms, his heart was sad, his son had been with his eighth uncle for a long time from time to time, how could he be stupid and not as smart as his father.

Unlike Du Xiaoxi's hometown in his previous life, which was close to the northwest and had spring and autumn droughts at every turn, the water supply at home only came once every other day, and Dashang was flooded at every turn due to continuous rainfall throughout the year.

Even Shanshui County has a lot of precipitation in the mountains. There is a lot of precipitation, and there are naturally many rivers, and many places in the South Mountains and the North are densely covered with rivers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a country of Ze. There are more rivers. Naturally, there is less arable land, but large businesses and households are full of faith, which also creates a situation where there is less land and more people.

There is a big river and seven or eight small rivers near Dujia Village, except for the Dragon Boat Festival when children can go to avoid the obscurity, other times children can only go to the small river and a few nearby ponds. Daddy Du took a few people directly to the largest pond in the village.

When Daddy Du arrived with a group of soldiers, there were already a lot of people in the pond. It was the old men of the family who came to play with their children, and the women never soaked here.

When they saw that another man was coming, the people on the shore gave way to make room for them.

Du Xiaoxi's eyes widened and he looked at the few tables in the water, and could only sigh at the strength of the quintessence of the country!

A few forty or fifty-year-old uncles were sitting on a big rock, their feet were holding water and playing mahjong happily around the table.

Playing mahjong in the water, Du Xiaoxi is also served!

It's really wisdom in the folk, only if you can't think of it, you can't do it.

Speaking of mahjong and poker, we also have to talk about the joy master, before Du Xiaoxi came through, the joy master tossed out mahjong and poker on the grounds of enriching the people's material and cultural life, of course, poker changed to cards.

Du Xiaoxi really didn't understand. Didn't the master say that he wasn't a monk in his last life? When did the monk become so versatile and gamble?

Several people beckoned Daddy Du to play together, and Daddy Du raised Du Xiaoxi in his arms, "I'm not free today, I want to teach my daughter to swim!" ”

Seeing that Daddy Du said this, several people greeted him and continued to play.

A few years ago, I felt that the child was still young and was not in a hurry to learn, but in a blink of an eye, Du Xiaoxi was seven years old, and Du Dad began to be anxious, and after the New Year, he shouted that this year let his daughter learn to swim. Today, in addition to Du Xiaoxi, Du Xiaoyun of the third brother's family also has to learn together.

Daddy Du commanded Du Badao, who had secretly come out to play early: "Balang, show your sister how to swim." ”

Du Ba was caught in his heart, he stepped forward, and with a flutter of his arms and legs, he showed a freestyle as he wanted. Commonly known as dog planing!

Du Ba swam back and forth a few times, sticking out his tongue and panting, and Daddy Du shouted to stop, "Okay, let's play with your brother and them, don't go inside." ”

I saw that my daughter was staring at her brother's movements just now, and she was watching seriously. Father Du felt that his daughter must have learned to be so smart, so he picked up Du Xiaoxi's trouser belt and put her horizontally on the water, and said proudly: "Okay, girl, you can swim." ”

Du Xiaoxi wanted to cry without tears.

In the past, Brother Du, were they all so devastated by Daddy Du that they learned to swim? Then they're geniuses!

Du Xiaoxi thinks that she is a genius in thought, she is short in action, and her hands-on ability is scum, and her daughter can swim if she can't watch it once!

Du Xiaoxi couldn't swim in his previous life. When I was in college, there was a swimming pool in the school, but it was shared by men and women. Du Xiaoxi because she watched a news, saying that a woman went to a public bath and later became pregnant, Du Xiaoxi is not an idiot, she naturally knows that someone used five girls in the water, and let her children and grandchildren float everywhere. Because of this news, Du Xiaoxi's heart has a large shadow area, and he has never been there once. There is a swimming pool in the hilltop villa of her second sister's family, but Du Xiaoxi only dares to go bubbles occasionally, and has never had swimming skills.

"Ahh Du Xiaoxi cried out with his hands and feet and splashing water.

Du Xiaoxi is not a pig, of course he won't learn to swim because he picks a pool, the real reason is another thing with a larger psychological shadow area.

Due to the lack of water in the hometown, every time there is a lot of rain in summer, the big pit dug out of the houses built in the yellow beach at the east end of the village will be filled with water, and the leather boys in the village always have to go to play inside. When Du Xiaoxi was in the fifth grade, his classmate and neighbor went in and didn't come up, and when he waited to catch it, the handsome little boy had already swollen into a fat man. Because the two families are diagonally opposite each other, Du Xiaoxi also glanced at it in a panic. Since then, I have had an indescribable fear of water.

"Ahh Yes! Help me! Help me! ”

Du Xiaoxi was kissed so much that she was carrying her back and fluttering, crying and making trouble, and when she saw that the adults and children were all looking at it, her old face was embarrassed. I'm your father, and I'm shouting for help! Daddy Du has the mind to beat people.

Daddy Du hurriedly picked up his daughter, wiped his nose with water, and coaxed: "What's wrong with the old girl?" "That's how he taught his son, how to get to his daughter won't work.

Du Xiaoxi snorted and looked at Daddy Du with wet eyes, "Dad, will you save me if I fall into the water?" ”

"Nonsense!"

"Then I don't have to learn, I just have a father."

Although Daddy Du was proud, he could still tell that the previous sentence was the point, he was just piggybacking, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Don't even think about it!" As he spoke, he picked up Du Xiaoxi's waist again and put her across the water.

"Third brother! Save me! ”

Du Sange didn't raise his head to conduct devil training on the beginner's son, but he was relieved in his heart, it was better to be a leather boy, and he could toss as much as he wanted.

"Seventh brother, eighth brother, ninth brother! Little Tiger! ”

Du Xiaoxi called his friends again and again, but unfortunately they all came over like this and didn't think there was anything wrong.

Waiting for Du Xiaoxi to shout that he was tired and fluttered, he couldn't move, and the first time he learned to swim was over.

The results are gratifying.

Xiao Yun of Du Sange's family has already mastered the skill of dog crawling, as for what Du Xiaoxi looked like when he went, nothing changed when he came back except for wet clothes.

In this regard, Daddy Du was not discouraged, but thought that the girl would learn slowly, and planned to take her daughter out tomorrow until she knew it completely.

On the second day, Daddy Du still led the large team to the pond with Du Xiaoxi, who was full of displeasure, but was interrupted by Liu Yao's arrival.

Liu Yao didn't come alone, to be precise, the county lord of Minglan and the little prince An found Liu Yao and asked him to bring them over.

In the past three years, Liu Yao has spent almost half of his time in Dujia Village, so he is more familiar with this place than the Liu family. Waiting for the two people behind him to get out of the car and ran to the yard, they happened to meet Daddy Du taking Du Xiaoxi out to learn to swim.

"Why did Xiaotu come to this point? It's not light, is it? Hachiro pulls up the watermelon hanging from the well and cuts it. ”

Liu Yao thanked him, glanced at Du Xiaoxi, who was full of joy, and continued: "Sister Xiaoxi's junior sister and King An are outside. ”

Lord Minglan and King An?

Du Xiaoxi tugged at the corners of her mouth to signal Daddy Du to put her down, and her heart was more bitter than swallowing a bitter gourd.

Compared with these two little ancestors, she would rather learn to swim.

Du Xiaoxi is a very superficial person, to be precise, he is a face control. This 'Yan' is not the 'Yan' of the beautiful face of the prosperous age, but pleasing to the eye. If Du Xiaoxi looks at a person, he will subconsciously get a little closer, for example, when he saw the county lord of Minglan for the first time, Du Xiaoxi's mood was happy. But after a long time of contact, Du Xiaoxi always felt that there was a sense of estrangement between the two, and he couldn't say why.

Father Du knew that his daughter's brothers and sisters were all from the emperor's family, so he took Du Xiaoxi and walked out of the door, and when he saw the girl in the wheelchair and the boy staring at him closely, he was about to kneel down with a smile.

The little guy next to Shang Mingrui hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and the county lord of Minglan also said hurriedly: "Uncle don't be polite, let's just come to see Senior Sister." ”

Daddy Du seems to be more patient with girls, and said happily: "Okay, the happy girl has been fine for a long time, it's hot outside, come in and sit at home." As he spoke, he led a few people home. (To be continued.) )
