Chapter 605 You weren't that big to begin with.
Well, the two brothers, Da Bao Tuan Tuan and Er Bao Yuan Yuan, are in charge of shooting down the big wild duck with their bows, while San Bao Man Man and Xiao Si Bao Dang Dang are leading the egg babies to pick up the prey that has been shot down.
Springtime is beautiful, and the little eggs, like stars and flowers with feet, are scattered freely on the green carpet, vying with each other, chasing and playing, creating a lively scene.
The gently flowing Niudai River, along its winding banks, is filled with the laughter of adults working and the boisterous sounds of children playing and chasing each other, all blending together to create a symphony of spring.
As the saying goes, "The year's plan starts in spring." The soldiers' wives are working hard with their hoes, bringing hope for tomorrow; and the children are reaping a bountiful harvest of wild ducks.
The setting sun kissed the mountain peaks, and its afterglow fell into the Niuda River. The military wives and children finished their four-day labor.
For the past four days, the military wives who participated in the spring planting along the Niuda River have been so happy that they can see their front teeth every day.
Indeed, after a long day's work, you can always bring home wild duck eggs to your family's yard one day, and a big, fat wild duck the next. Isn't that wonderful?
"Sister Su, it's settled—"
"Don't move...don't move, don't move, I'll do it—"
"We've already agreed that you're only responsible for giving verbal instructions; you're not allowed to do anything."
"Your hands are very precious—"
Under the golden sunset, just as Su Nianxi was about to pick up the hoe and swing it over her shoulder, Xiang Mei, the sharp-eyed wife of the Second Regiment Commander Tang, cried out in a flustered voice.
"Ouch--"
"You silly Su girl, why are you so disobedient?"
"We're coming, we're coming—"
"It's a deal. Once we're here at the riverbank, you're only allowed to talk, not fight—"
"Otherwise...otherwise, be careful your sisters-in-law tie you up and leave you on the edge of the field."
Bi Lin, the wife of Regiment Commander Lian of the Fourth Regiment, was close to Su Nianxi Baozi. She rushed over in three steps, snatched the hoe from Su Nianxi Baozi's hand, and scolded her.
"!!!"
"Who said anything to you? It was you sisters-in-law who made the decision unilaterally—"
Su Nianxi, whose dimples were faintly visible, twitched her lips and silently wailed in her heart.
For four days now, whenever she arrives at the banks of this river, she has lost the right to touch a hoe and do farm work.
"Hahaha……"
"That's right, Miss Su, you'll just give in to us—"
“Sister-in-law Bilin is right. You have to listen to us in this matter. Your hands are for healing and saving lives... So let's listen to you and not move them—”
Lin, the wife of Qi, the deputy commander of the Third Regiment, was leaning on a hoe on the ridge of the field three meters away, laughing heartily.
"That's right, obedient Su girl—"
"You can just stand there."
"..."
Yes, yesterday, the day before yesterday... it happened again. The sisters-in-law started again, offering their advice one after another.
"Hehehe——"
"Sisters-in-law—"
"Have I been listening to you every single day?"
“Every day I go to the fields, but I don’t do any work at all—”
"You guys are all scrambling to do the work."
"..."
"I just need to carry a hoe right now. You can rest assured, it won't hurt my hands or delay the treatment and saving lives."
Su Nianxi, feeling both amused and exasperated, sighed and then, in a sweet, childish voice, pointed at the hoe that her sister-in-law, Bi Lin, had snatched away and began to argue.
For the past four days, as soon as they arrived at the banks of the Niudai River, this large group of military wives treated her like a national treasure, almost like an ancestor. They wouldn't even let her touch a hoe, let alone do any farm work.
As a result, she became a military wife who only talked the talk but didn't walk the walk; by the Niuda River, she was an idle second-in-command, spending her days...four days wandering aimlessly between the fields.
Hmm, touching the handle of the hoe makes me feel like a thief.
On the fields of hope, the joy of farm work was cruelly taken away by the women in their wives' arms.
A perfectly healthy person has been turned into a "treasure" in the hands of the women in the family compound.
"Forehead--"
"Has Xiao Xixi been persuaded by the group again?"
Sanbao, who had just returned from picking wild ducks, spoke in a childish voice.
"Isn't it perfectly clear?"
"Oh! Poor little Xixi—"
"Now when she sees a hoe, she's like a poor dog that's been starving for four days, seeing a hot bun, she's incredibly hungry."
Little Sibao Dangdang threw the wild duck he had picked up on the ground and interrupted.
"..."
"???"
"Doggy—"
"Dangdang, what analogy are you using?"
The analogy of Xiao Sibao being called "Dangdang" is quite apt, but Da Bao Tuantuan finds it awkward; the usually serious Da Bao Tuantuan's little face shrugs, and she secretly feels disgusted.
"Look at that—"
"When we get back, Xiao Xixi will definitely be the first thing she does to drag our hoe out to the yard to vent her frustration."
"These aunts and uncles are really making our little Xixi so restless—"
Erbao and Yuanyuan put down their homemade crossbows and joined the group.
"Then let's go back to the family compound later and let Xiao Xixi carry a hoe and vent her anger in the yard—"
Sanbao Manman shrugged her little shoulders, her chubby face full of sympathy, and added in a cute little voice.
"Manman——"
"You little rascal, you don't understand—"
"It's the same thing to swing a hoe and work, but it feels different working in the fields by the river and working in the fields in the yard."
"When you grow up a bit more, you'll understand—"
Little Sibao Dangdang, acting like a little adult, is both mature and adorably agreeing.
"Dangdang, you're doing this again—"
“I’m your older brother, I was born before you.”
"..."
Sanbao Manman couldn't stand Dangdang, who came out a few minutes later than her, always acting like a little adult and grumbling at her.
"What did I do to you again—"
Caught off guard by the sudden shout, Dangdang snapped back immediately.
"You're acting like a little adult again, saying I'm too young—"
Sanbao Manman, with a fierce expression and sullen cheeks, was puffed up with anger.
"You weren't that old to begin with—"
……
"Uh--"
"Aren't you talking about Xiao Xixi???"
Erbao Yuanyuan suddenly felt her brain capacity was insufficient, unable to keep up with the jumping frequency of Sanbao Manman and Xiaosibao Dangdang.
The three treasures and the four little treasures won't stop until they're full.
Da Bao Tuan Tuan, looking disgusted, took Er Bao Yuan Yuan and led a group of little children to share the spoils equally among the military wives from the family compound who had come to participate in the work.
Well, the four little brothers have hunted down most of the wild ducks along the riverbank. Today is the last day for them to hunt wild ducks; they have to stop hunting now.
Since Su Nianxi and Baozi couldn't come to a conclusion, Sanbao Manman and Xiao Sibao Dangdang also ended up arguing in vain.
In spring, the banks of the Niudai River, bathed in the setting sun, are brimming with vitality and life.
