The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 159, Master Zhou's Character

"When your brother is not at home, you have to take good care of your elder sister and younger siblings." Qiao Minglang has always taught the boys in their family to protect the girls in the family and take care of younger siblings. Boys must take responsibility so that they can become a real man.

"Well, brother, I will." Qiao Mingcheng nodded solemnly and promised his brother.

Seeing that he was ignored, Qiao Xiaobao crawled into his brother's arms, took an important position, and shouted: "Brother, there is Bao."

"Yes, there is also Xiaobao. Our Xiaobao will also be a man when he grows up." Qiao Minglang couldn't help laughing. The little guy has been raised well during this time, and has lost his thin and dark appearance. A little bit of meat, not exposed to the sun much in winter, has grown white and tender, and the longer it looks, the better it looks.

The children in their family are not ugly, but they were too thin from hunger and sunburned all day long, so they don't think they look good.Now that the children have been raised for half a year, each of them has grown a little bit of flesh, and their appearance has changed a lot.

"Oh, what else do you have? Why do you have everything?" Zhou Xing stretched out his hand, and easily kidnapped the little guy into his arms, preventing the little guy from crawling into his wife's arms .

Except for him, no one else can hold his wife's arms!

"Brother, brother..." Qiao Xiaobao was struggling desperately to go to his brother.

"What are you calling your brother for? Don't you want to be a man? Don't call your brother if you have the ability." Zhou Xing held onto the little guy tightly with both hands, and he wouldn't let you call him.

"Brother, brother..."

One was shouting desperately, while the other was holding on to the person and refused to let go.

Qiao Minglang was disturbed by these two people, and finally rescued the child from Zhou Xing's arms, and gave someone a warning look.After successfully returning to his brother's arms, Qiao Xiaobao said to the person who grabbed him just now, "Bad!"

"Who do you think is broken?" Zhou Xing made a gesture to catch the provocative brat.

"Wow... Brother..." The child screamed in fright, fearing that he would be captured by the bad guys, and retreated back into his brother's arms. He is a typical timid person who provokes others because of his backing The little man has already thrown aside the manly man.

You are so embarrassed, you are a teenager bullying a two-year-old!

Qiao Minglang glared at Zhou Xing, holding the child in his arms, not allowing the child to make trouble anymore, and not letting Zhou Xing fight with the child, "Everyone is going to sleep, stop making trouble. Those who don't sleep, go outside. "

All of them, big and small, look the same, so don't let him worry.

"Baby, don't make trouble." Qiao Xiaobao said cautiously while curling up in his brother's arms.

"Well, baby." Qiao Minglang couldn't bear to scold the child again, and reached out to touch the child in his arms. Every time he came back from outside, he found that the children at home had grown up and talked more. Yes, I didn't know many things before, but now I know how to say them all.

It's a pity that he can't stay with the child all the time, watching him grow up little by little.

"I'm so good too, why don't you praise me." Zhou Xing leaned on the young man's back, a little jealous of the little kid he held in his arms, and wanted to be hugged by his wife, and said with a bit of resentment.

"..." Qiao Minglang, you're so embarrassed!

When the child in his arms fell asleep, Qiao Minglang moved the child back to his own bed to sleep.

"elder brother."

Qiao Mingcheng opened his eyes and glanced at his brother. Qiao Minglang patted his brother's head and said, "Sleep."

"Yeah." Qiao Mingcheng put his arms around his sleeping brother, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

When the two children fell asleep, Zhou Xing grabbed his boy back into his arms and kissed him hard before giving up.Seeing that this person would continue to make trouble with him, Qiao Minglang covered his mouth with his hand, and said, "Stop making trouble, go to bed, aren't you going fishing tomorrow?"

If this quarrel continued, he felt that neither of them needed to sleep.

"Okay, let's sleep." Feeling the exhaustion in the boy's voice, Zhou Xing was reluctant to make trouble with him, and placed a kiss on the boy's forehead. He hugged his boy and closed his eyes contentedly.

In the silent night, the whole small village fell asleep.

***

The next morning, they took the fishing nets, fishing rods and kegs to the river to fish early in the morning.Yesterday I promised Zhou Xing to take him fishing, and after breakfast, they came to the river.

They didn't dare to bring the two twins here. The two children are still young and like to run around. It is very troublesome to accidentally fall into the water in this cold day.But the two older siblings followed them.

As the second sister, Qiao Xiaohui took her younger siblings at home and sewed their torn clothes with a needle and thread.

"Brother, let's go fishing here." Qiao Mingcheng put down the small bucket he was carrying in the water. In fact, he prefers to fish in the water.

But the weather was cold this time, and his brother would not allow him to go into the water, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Brother, there are a lot of fish here." Third Sister Qiao also came along, and the two siblings usually come to the river to catch fish and shrimp.It's just that after studying now, they have to help Auntie with work and homework when they come back, so they don't have much time to come here to play.

Today, when I heard my brother said that he would come to fish, both siblings were very happy to come along.

"Okay, it's right here." Qiao Minglang glanced into the water, but he didn't see that there were too many fish. The only thing that could explain it was that these two children often came here to fish.

He seldom comes here himself, and he doesn't know anything about fishing, let alone his two younger brothers and sisters.

Everyone put their things down and fished here.

Not long after the hook was put down, the pole moved. Qiao Mingcheng was overjoyed, and called his brother in a low voice, "Brother, fish, fish." The fish weighed at least several kilograms, and he couldn't pull it alone. He called his brother to come and help.

Qiao Minglang stepped forward to help, lifted the fishing rod up, and saw that the fish he caught weighed at least three or four catties.They put the fish they caught into the bucket, and as soon as the fish was put into the bucket, they sank to the bottom of the bucket and did not move.

"..." Standing not far away, Master Zhou just threw the hook into the water.

Turning his head, he continued to look at his fishing rod, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

And within 2 minutes, I heard the little girl shouting excitedly, "Brother, there are fish, there are fish..."

The siblings over there caught several fish in succession. Zhou Xing didn't take the bait for a single fish. He felt a movement in the water. He picked up the fishing rod and saw that the bait on it was gone, "..."

"How about it, haven't you caught any fish yet?" Qiao Minglang helped his two younger brothers and sisters pick up the fish several times, but he didn't see any movement from Zhou Xing's place, so he walked towards him.

"……almost!"

Zhou Xing turned his head and glanced at the young man, feeling very unconvinced, why didn't he catch one here when the two siblings had caught all the fish.

But today, the fish in the water seemed to be against him. Others caught fish one after another, but he didn't see a single fish after fishing for a long time.Later, he suspected that there were no fish in the river here, but fish could be caught in other people's places, so what happened!

By the riverside in Dongyue, the vegetation was withered, and the wind was so strong that it hurt people's faces.It rarely snows in their place, but this season is also very cold.

The clothes they wore were not thick, and they felt cold after blowing for a while.Qiao Mingcheng sucked the frozen snot and shivered from the cold. Seeing that they had already caught so many fish, he walked over to his brother and said, "Brother, shall we go back?"

Qiao Minglang saw that they caught a lot of fish, and sent a few to the two uncles' homes, and they still had a lot left.

It's just that Zhou Xing stood here for a long time without catching a single fish. He looked at the man and asked hesitantly, "How about we go fishing for a while and go back?"

"Then stop fishing, go back..." Without saying the last word "", Zhou Xing felt his fishing rod move, and quickly flicked the fishing rod upwards, bringing out a big carp in the water fish.

"Wow, what a big fish." Qiao Mingcheng helped him carry the bucket, took the fish off the hook, and put it into the bucket.

"Let's go back." This time Zhou Xing had a smile on his face, satisfied.

"Let's go, get the good things, let's go back." Qiao Minglang went to pick up the bucket containing the fish, Zhou Xing reached out to take it, and said, "I'll do it."

Several people went back home with buckets and fishing rods.

They caught more than a dozen catties of fish and sent a few to the two uncles' homes, and they still had a few fish left.

The fish they just caught were still lively and jumping. Qiao Minglang killed all the fish they caught and made a big pot of braised fish.Before sitting down, he served a bowl and asked his younger brother to send a bowl to his grandparents.

When my brother came back, they sat around the table and had lunch.

"Brother, the fish you cook is really delicious." In the past, there was nothing to eat at home, so Qiao Xiaofen followed her older children to fish in the river when she was very young.But she felt that the fish she ate before was not as good as the fish cooked by her brother.

"Eat more if it tastes good. I won't be able to make it for you when my brother is not at home." Qiao Minglang put a piece of fish in the bowls of his brothers and sisters and asked them to eat more.

"Yeah." Knowing that after eating this meal, my brother will go out, and it will be several months before my brother returns next time.The chopsticks in Qiao Xiaohui's hand paused, she picked up a piece of fish for her brother, and said, "Brother, you can eat too."

"it is good."

Qiao Minglang smiled and nodded, looking at the brothers and sisters in front of him, he felt that no matter how hard he worked, he felt it was worth it.

In his previous life, he was alone and didn't know where his home was.

And in this life, no matter how far he goes, he always knows that home is here, and there are family members waiting for him to come back.
