Li Tannian and the four little ones looked outside, and the first thing they saw was the iron ball rushing towards them.
"Dabao, come on, show me your cat, where is your cat!" Tie Qiu's face flashed with excitement, and Lu Dabao couldn't care less about eating the cherries in his hand, he was so busy.
Lead him to the stove.
The little lynx has obviously become more mellow in the past two days. When he heard the noise, he first bared his teeth at the iron ball with a guarded look on his face. After Dabao scolded him twice, he closed his eyes arrogantly and continued.
He curled up and fell asleep.
Tie Qiu had heard that Dabao's family had picked up a little wild cat a few days ago, so he thought about it and came over to see it.
The little wild cat was as beautiful as he imagined. Tie Qiu liked it very much and wanted to reach out and touch it. However, he was attacked by the little wild cat.
Tie Qiu retracted his hand in embarrassment and said dryly: "Dabao, your cat is so vicious."
"It's only mean to others. In the future, when you get familiar with it, it won't be mean to you." Dabao said this with some pride.
After all, it is a good advantage that your own cat is aggressive towards outsiders but not towards your own family.
"Really?" Tie Qiu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have discovered something else, and said in surprise, "Dabao, why are your cats' ears so pointed?"
"Is there any?" Dabao was suspicious and stepped forward to pull the little lynx's ears from side to side. "Does it look like they're not so sharp now? Maybe it's because I was hungry before and didn't have much meat on my body."
Li Tannian: "..." Isn't this so sharp?
Lynx himself: "Don't I want to lose face?"
Zhao Susu gasped and watched for a while, and couldn't help but laugh: "Tieqiu likes these cats and dogs, but I can't keep them at home. I get a rash whenever I touch cat hair."
Cat hair allergy is indeed a serious matter, and Li Tannian can understand it.
Zhao Susu suddenly remembered that she hadn't said anything serious yet, and hurriedly pulled Li Tannian out: "By the way, come with me quickly, we are hunting spring oxen in our village today."
The Spring Ox Hunting is a sacrificial activity held by Lujia Village people at the beginning of spring every year.
The "Spring Ox" has a skeleton made of mulberry wood, filled with grains, and the whole body is made of earth. It is four feet high and eight feet long. There are also patterns of the four seasons and eight festivals painted on the whole body.
Spring oxen are usually sacrificed in the Lu family ancestral hall for a while in advance. On the first day of spring, they are driven out with people leading the oxen and helping the plow. Everyone sings happily and prays for a good harvest.
Finally, the patriarch Lu will preside over the ceremony and use a colorful whip to beat out the grains from the cow's belly.
Usually at this time, people in the village will swarm to grab it for good luck.
Because Patriarch Lu fell ill at the beginning of spring this year, this matter has been delayed until now.
Li Tannian was not interested in these things, so when she heard what Zhao Susu said, she didn't want to go.
However, the four little ones were particularly excited.
"Mom, take us to join in the fun!"
Li Tannian faced the four bright eyes, but could not say no in the end. He just nodded to them, then went to the door of the east room and said to Lu Zhi: "I took them to watch the spring ox hunting.
.”
"Yes." Lu Zhi nodded, and at the end, he did not forget to say a word of concern, "Be careful on the road."
With Lu Zhi's approval, Li Tannian happily went out with his children.
Zhao Susu secretly looked at Li Tannian for a while, and couldn't help teasing: "Sister Nian, you and Lu Sanlang are really inseparable. Unlike me, he doesn't care where I go, let alone someone like Lu Sanlang."
, I also want to tell you to be careful."
Li Tannian's expression froze.
Was that a warning to her? It was clearly a warning to her to take care of the children.
Lu Zhi in the original book is not a loving person. He always only looks at the benefits when doing things. Just like now, he also sees her value, so he is willing to greet her in a polite way.
"Yes, my father is the best to my mother!"
"My mother is also good to my father!"
Erbao and Sanya said in turn, Tieqiu seemed to be secretly competing with someone, and said anxiously: "My father is also very good to my mother!"
Zhao Susu was stunned, raised her hand and slapped Tie Qiu on the back of the head.
"What kind of kindness did your father do to me? How could anyone see that he was kind to me!"
Tie Qiu was a little afraid of Zhao Susu. After being scolded by Zhao Susu, he dared not speak out in anger. He could only purse his lips and said in a low voice: "Mom, can you give me some face!"
"Face! Where did the little brat get the face? You can't spread rumors outside!"
Zhao Susu's merciless words made the iron ball hang on her head.
After the four little ones were stunned for a short time, they couldn't help but let out a burst of "haha" laughter.
Li Tannian watched this scene silently and couldn't help but curl his lips.
As we approached the village entrance, there were more and more people on land.
Zhao Susu was a talkative person and could strike up a conversation with everyone she met. But after those people met Li Tannian, they only smiled and nodded at her, and no one talked to her.
His temperament had not been liked by the villagers long ago, so Li Tannian had already expected this scene.
When a group of people arrived at the cattle hunting ground, people were already surrounding Chunniu.
This so-called cattle hunting ground is nothing more than an open space. Behind the open space is a rice field. Looking from a distance, it is full of greenery.
"Sister Nian, as soon as my father-in-law finishes hunting the spring cattle and starts shouting for grabs, follow me and crawl inside." Zhao Susu explained to Li Tannian very experiencedly.
Standing on the edge.
Li Tannian looked at the people on the third and third floors here and really didn't want to rob them.
The most important thing was that she was afraid that the four little ones would get caught in the crowd and be trampled by people.
Lu Dabao seemed to have seen through what she was thinking. When she turned to look at him, Lu Dabao hurriedly said: "I will keep an eye on my brothers and sisters. You and Aunt Susu go grab food."
Erbao and Sanya also nodded repeatedly and said in unison: "Mom, we will keep an eye on Little Sibao."
Li Tannian was stunned. Zhao Susu had already pulled her into the crowd.
From a distance, Li Tannian could only feel that Patriarch Lu was reciting some words like praying for good weather. Not long after, he had already begun to beat the cow with his colorful whip.
"After a while, you can put as much money into your pocket as you can. The one with the most money will still have the winnings."
Zhao Susu was very strong, and Li Tannian was led into the crowd by her in a daze.
Seeing the four little ones obediently retreating to the edge, she finally felt relieved and asked again: "Is there any lottery left?"
"No, have you seen Zhou Yulian next to you? The lottery prize every year belongs to her. This year you have to be brave. I will give you everything I grabbed. If you grab more, you may be able to get the lottery prize.
