Chapter 144: Draining Water
Chapter 144
Take a good day out of the wind and the sun. After packing up the 'food' that she had found with her little fox and her little fox, Xiaoru's family returned home in a hurry, not to mention, although she felt very reluctant when she left the old man's place, but as soon as she got home, Xiaoru still breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how good it was outside, it was still not as safe as living at home.
The maids and daughters-in-law left at home are very capable and very well-behaved, and the housework accounts are all in place, and there has never been any slack because the lady in charge is not there, so after Xiaoru came back, except for beating a bunch of wild and lawless little animals a few times, throwing them back into the nest, meeting the housekeeper, and scanning the accounts, there is not much work to do. On weekdays, it is still the same as when I was in the garden to escape the summer, and I took my baby son to nest on the balcony. Or play in the bamboo forest.
On this day, there are clouds in the sky, but it is not so cloudy, there are faint fragments of sunlight sprinkled on the earth, the breeze is blowing, the air in the bamboo forest is fragrant, Xiaoru sits on the recliner, while reading a book, while staring at his baby son in the bamboo forest and crawling to play, this kid can already walk, although he still stumbles, walk a few meters, and land on all fours, happily crawling, however, he is not yet one year old, so it is already fast, besides, Xiaoru is a doctor, knowing that children walk too early, It's not good for bone breeding, so when I let my baby walk, I went with the flow and didn't deliberately guide it.
This kid is a little slow to speak, and until now, only a few vague words have popped up occasionally. Most of the time squeak, no one understands what he's talking about, Xiaoru is not in a hurry, he has nothing to do, so he casually tells him some fairy tales, and by the way, teaches him to shout 'Dad' and 'Mother'.
There is not much progress in this regard, the little guy prefers some brightly colored patch albums that Xiao Ru gives him more than listening to fairy tales, often Xiao Ru tells stories on the side, and the little guy doesn't listen to it, and he is happy to play with the album, of course, most of the time, these patch albums will become tools for the little guy to grind his teeth, and they feel very distressed to see Fu'er, Meng Nier, and Xiaoyan, but they don't know if they are more distressed that Xiao Fan Ge'er has just grown eight snow-white teeth, or they feel sorry for the beautiful album that Xiaoru made.
"Brother Fanβ"
Startled by an exclamation from afar, Xiao Ru suddenly looked up and saw that her precious son had staggered and crawled near the pond, looking like he wanted to climb over and play in the water. Xiao Ru was not scared, when she came out with the child, she had already explained that she had obediently guarded her baby son, the tiger, who had never been meticulous in the execution of Xiao Ru's orders, and its intelligence could definitely be compared with people, Xiao Ru trusted it as if she trusted herself, and sure enough, the little guy had not yet climbed to the edge of the pond, and hit his head on the obedient soft body.
Xiaoru shrugged, and just wanted to walk over and pick up the child back, but she didn't expect that before she could get up, she heard a 'plop' sound, and a splash in the pond......
As soon as the ducks quacked and scattered, Xiao Ru was stunned to look at his father-in-law, who was still not far away just now, and now he had stumbled and fallen into the pond, and was stunned for a moment, before remembering that this person couldn't swim at all!
Seeing Lou Yi fluttering in the water, sinking into the water from time to time, he couldn't help but be startled again, hurriedly grabbed a bamboo pole for drying clothes, and called Meng Nier Xiaoyan, who was a female celebrity in the cool not far away, and the three of them acted together, and it took a lot of effort to pull Lou Yi, who was embarrassed and coughing, ashore.
"Ahem, ahem. I want to learn how to make water, and I want to learn it right away. Lou Yi shuddered, panted, and yelled viciously.
Xiao Ru looked at his shy and anxious face, smiled and nodded again and again, too, the former imperial guard, the beloved apprentice of the great master Sun Zhi, would fall into his own pond because he couldn't hold his feet, which is really a bit embarrassing.
"Xianggong, you hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes, it's not good to catch a cold."
Xiaoru stretched out her hand and wanted to help Lou Yi up, but Lou Yi was worried that the cold air on her body would hurt her daughter-in-law, so she avoided it, Meng Nier and Xiaoyan hurriedly went to the bathroom to prepare, and the other went to the kitchen to boil ginger soup and other cold-ward soup.
Lou Yi exhaled, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw bubbles spitting in his mouth, and a pair of small hands holding the tiger's hair. The giggling baby son couldn't help grinning: "This kid is really not small!" β
Even if he knew that he was a pet raised by his daughter-in-law, Xiaolou still didn't dare to get too close to this wild tiger, at this time, he saw his son wreaking havoc on the tiger, plucking his hair and pulling his beard from time to time, and obediently let him let him, full of love, and thought that this tiger would occasionally accompany his son to roll wooden balls and play for a while, so that no matter how many times he saw it. Every time I see it, I still feel quite speechless!
Lou Yi's fall into the lake did not cause much turmoil in Lou's house, that is, Lou Yi himself let the old lady catch and train, anyway, he has been trained quite solidly, and he doesn't care, and his body has no major problems, there were some signs of a cold, a hot bath, plus a big bowl of steaming ginger soup, and he completely recovered.
However, after the old man found out, he frowned for a long time, and on the same day, he brought a group of craftsmen to repair the guardrail of Xiaoru's pond.
Lou Yi just grinded a few words, saying that the scenery of the pond is very good, and if the guardrail is repaired, it is not good-looking, and it is also very uncoordinated, so the old man who rarely teaches him a lesson was cut - "How old are you, you are still so reckless, what about destroying a little scenery, no matter how good the scenery is, is it important to have your life, your daughter-in-law's life, your mother's life, and your son's life?" β
The old man reprimanded, and Lou Yi was dizzy, although he still didn't understand, how could a mere pond be in danger of the lives of his relatives, this time it was just an accident, and now in the homes of large families, there are not a few ponds and small lakes!
Xiao Ru agrees with the old man's decision, after all, now that he has a child, any accidents that may be dangerous must be absolutely avoided. It's a good idea to install a fence on the edge of a pond.
After this incident, Xiao Ru began to think in his heart, now the little guy is curious, and he especially likes to play in the water, every time he takes a bath, he is fluttering in the water for a long time, and when he sees the pond in the bamboo forest and the pool in the garden, he jumps to go down, Xiao Ru used to be just a block, now think about it, it is better to guide the homeopathy, since he is curious, then let him play unwilling to play anymore, of course, it would be better if he could learn to swim.
So, after pondering for a while, Xiaoru went to the old man to discuss, and the two discussed the work of tea, and decided to build a small pond next to the pond in the bamboo forest, according to the appearance of the swimming pool in Xiaoru's impression, which is not big, but more than a dozen square meters, made of bluestone, smooth, without spikes, the water in it is specially taken from the mountain spring water, the water is very shallow, the temperature is also appropriate, and let people make a big bath, and then entrust the baby son to Xiaoyan and Jiang Tian, who have excellent water nature, and let the two of them play with the child.
However, Lou Yi seems to really want to learn how to swim, the child is playing in the pool, and he is also splashing in it, but unfortunately, the deepest part of the pool is only up to his knees, so it is not so much to learn how to swim, but because the weather is too hot, this guy is looking for an excuse to grab the pool with his son in order to be cool.
Xiaoru didn't care about him, but every time Lou Yi played with the child, he had to change his clothes, and even changed to ** back just because he was playing in the water, which made the pressure on a daughter-in-law of the Lou family who was responsible for washing clothes a lot, and Xiaoru had to ask another daughter-in-law to help share it.
A few days later, the little guy can float up when he enters the water, and Lou Yi is still a landlubber.
After this method was known to Wang Meng in the palace, the craftsmen who repaired the pool for Xiaoru entered the palace on the same day.
Xiao Ru pondered, Wang Meng's girl likes sports the most, now in the palace, she is conspicuous enough, and then play other ball games, basketball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis and the like, not to mention doing these things, it is not troublesome, it is not troublesome to prepare the venue, she has no opponents, other ladies will not let themselves play aerobic exercise in a stinky sweat, the guards in the palace dare not approach the princess closely, the eunuchs and palace maids are all weak, and it is impossible to compete with her, she just wants to play, but she can't play, If you run, there is no open space, and there is no interest, and the original Concubine Jing is very good at riding and archery, but Wang Meng, who has changed the line, can't shoot arrows, and even Concubine Jing's only event that can be regarded as a sport, she can't do it.
Now, the poor girl can only practice yoga on her own turf, or she is guarding the vegetable field of one acre and three points, or waiting for the craftsmen to report to her the progress of burning glass, and now she is reminded by Xiaoru that she remembers the sport of swimming, which is very loving, of course, she is happy, she must not build any outdoor swimming pool, but, in her own bathroom, make a swimming pool-like bath, no one can care about it, even His Majesty the Emperor, and he can't help but let his concubine take a bath!
After repairing the swimming pool, Wang Meng was happy, and increased the entertainment time for swimming every day, and the palace concubines in the palace, after seeing that Concubine Jing invited someone to repair the bath, now they are not tossing in the ground, they are a little confused, I don't know what tricks this concubine Jing Niangniang has changed slightly and has a weird hobby!
Xiaoru's life is comfortable and comfortable, I haven't heard the news of Zhang's family for a long time, although I haven't heard of them leaving the capital, but, presumably, life is more difficult, they work hard for life, so they don't have time to think about how to make trouble for Xiaoru, so Xiaoru simply left the stepmother behind, and no longer bothered by this.
