Joubert left with satisfaction. Before leaving, Tang Zhengqing ate the delicious food crazily. He lamented that he had only been in China for ten days, but he had gained ten pounds.

Lin Xuerou also went back. She still had her job and she was not a homeless person. In the end, Tang Zhengqing was left alone at home with the two little ones.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Just when Tang Zhengqing was transforming into a carpenter, Tang Duoduo and Tang Youyou ran over.

Tang Zhengqing put down the tools in his hands, picked up Youyou and Duoduo, walked to the middle of the big wooden basin, and put the two little guys in.

In summer, although it is cool in the mountains, hot weather is unavoidable. In order to bathe the two little ones, Tang Zhengqing specially made a large wooden basin for bathing.

It’s not that there is no shower, it’s just that the two little guys don’t like showers. They like to play with water, so Tang Zhengqing made such a large wooden basin.

The wooden basin is not very tall, only about one meter. If it is filled with water, it can submerge their heads, so I made a partition and placed it at the bottom of the wooden basin, so that the two little guys can stand in the wooden basin.

Even if you fill it with water, it will only cover their necks but not choke their noses.

When they grow up, take down the middle partition and they can stand in the middle. In this way, they can use it until they are five or six years old, or even seven or eight years old.

In order to build this large wooden tub for bathing his two children, Tang Zhengqing specially cut down a thousand-year-old passion tree and completely dug it out from its main trunk, which was two meters in diameter.

As the name suggests, the passion tree has a unique aroma, which smells very good and refreshing, and it does not suffer from mosquito bites.

Tang Zhengqing dug out several wooden basins from the remaining trunks. The largest was the wooden basin at the root of the tree, which was almost three meters in diameter. It was enough for two little guys to swim.

"Dad, I want to take a bath, take a bath." Youyou seemed to recognize what it was at a glance, and clapped her hands happily and shouted, as did Duoduo on the side.

"Yuyou, it's not night yet, let's take a shower in the evening, okay?" How could he take a shower in the morning? At least Tang Zhengqing didn't have this habit, unless he was sweating from playing ball when he was in school.

Looking at the big wooden basin, Tang Zhengqing moved them to an open space in the yard, where the sun could shine directly.

After cleaning the tub several times and pouring water into it, Tang Zhengqing found a piece of plastic film to cover it. All of this seemed to take Tang Zhengqing back to twenty years ago.

Twenty years ago, when I was seven or eight years old, my mother wouldn't let me go swimming in the river, so I had to take out the wooden bucket for bathing, pour a few buckets of well water in, cover it with plastic film, and put the bathtub in at night.

The water inside will become boiling hot, which is undoubtedly a very deep impression on Tang Zhengqing.

Although he thought about having solar energy, a water heater, and a bathtub, Tang Zhengqing still couldn't forget about the bathtub, otherwise he wouldn't have built a brand new bathtub for the two little guys.

After Tang Zhengqing finished, Li Chunying walked out of the house and took a look, "The bathtub at home can't be used, right? You just know how to mess around." Li Chunying seemed harsh, but in fact she was just opposed to Tang Zhengqing's unwarranted waste.

However, Tang Zhengqing's sweet dream seemed to have failed to come true. Just after lunch, the Qingyun Mountain, which was originally a clear sky, was suddenly covered by dark clouds, followed by lightning, thunder, and violent storms.

It seemed that this was the first time the two little guys had encountered such a thing. They were so scared that they hid in the house and did not dare to come out. However, they were also very curious and wanted to stretch their heads and take a look.

Whenever lightning flashes, Tang Zhengqing and his mother will immediately cover the ears of the two little ones to prevent the thunder from damaging the children's eardrums.

Tang Zhengqing's move was not without purpose. When he was a child, there was a thunderstorm in the mountains. The echoes of the valley shook back and forth, which shocked the eardrums of a man working outdoors. Since then, his two

My ears can't hear very clearly, just like an old man in his 70s or 80s, who is hard of hearing.

Whenever the rumbling thunder sounded, Youyou would get into Tang Zhengqing's arms, not daring to struggle. Only when the thunder disappeared, the two of them dared to come out of their arms and look at the distant sky, as if they were pursuing

What.

"Yuyou, are you scared?" Tang Zhengqing teased Yuyou, lowered his head and asked.

"Dad is bad, dad is bad!" Youyou ignored Tang Zhengqing, jumped out of her arms and ran to Li Chunying's arms, squeezing Tang Duoduo aside.

The summer rain comes and goes quickly. In the evening, I can see the setting sun emerging from behind the clouds, and the sound of frogs can be heard from the river.

"Quack!!!" Tang Zhengqing took Youyou and Duoduo to the cement road at the gate. Due to the heavy rain just now, the cement road was very clean with no mud at all.

Despite the heavy rain, there was no mud washed down from the mountain, only muddy rainwater poured into the river at the door.

"Don't learn indiscriminately." Tang Zhengqing slapped Tang Youyou. If you don't learn, you should learn how to cry like a frog? If you see how a frog walks, do you still have to learn how a frog walks on four legs?

"Dad is bad!" Youyou pouted, feeling aggrieved. Why did you hit yourself? Did you do something wrong?

"Yuyou, darling, this is a frog, a small animal, not a human being. Don't mess with it, you know?" Tang Zhengqing still remembers that when he was a child, he often caught frogs to eat in the summer, or peeled off the skin to catch crayfish after catching the frog.

Or crabs, you can always get a full harvest in half a day.

But as I grew up, frogs gradually became rarer. Now frogs are nationally protected animals and are not allowed to be eaten.

"Eat!" Youyou rolled her eyes, and after hearing Tang Zhengqing say it was a small animal, she said the word "eat".

"Good guy, you're welcome. Do you want your dad to stay there for two days? Will you bring me food?" It doesn't matter whether Yuyou and Duoduo understand it or not.

There were many people standing by the river, and even Tang Zhengqing saw some elders fishing with nets. This time was very good. The muddy muddy water washed down from the mountains rushed into the river, and the originally clear river water suddenly became clearer.

It also became turbid, and the fish were choked by the muddy water and bubbling, and they happened to be caught by the villagers' nets.

Tang Zhengqing waited until the sun went down before taking the two little guys back. However, the two little guys were very dissatisfied. Seeing other children playing unscrupulously by the river, the two little guys also insisted on playing.

After playing for a while, Tang Zhengqing tried to coax him back.
