Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 142

Old Lu urged on the phone, “Go to the island quickly and see how happy your brother is.”

“Like my brother? What does he have? I can be happy without a wife.”

Lu Xuan said from the side, “Your sister-in-law cooks delicious food.”

Lu Xiao: “…”

That sounded a little good.

But——

“I’m never greedy for such things.”

Lu Xuan: “I hope you stick to your words.”

Lu Xiao and his sister Lu Xuan arrived on Qiongzhou Island, and as soon as he came to the island, it was like a mouse put into a rice jar. He was very curious about everything around him. After all, he had never been to such a small island in the extreme south before.

It was completely different from the beach in their hometown. He was very curious about the enchanting coconut trees on the roadside. Those were too strange, they were crooked, and sometimes there were small squirrels jumping up and down. 

“These trees are too strange, aren’t they? They look like they’re going to fall, and they’re not dead yet.” 

“Who planted the trees like this?”

He was very interested in that strange kind of tree.

He didn’t know that those trees were often damaged by typhoons, so their posture was so weird.

Lu Xuan: “…”

“Why are you like my son?”

His sister felt that it was not so tiring to take her son, one more stinky brother was unbearable.

“Hey, Third Sister, you don’t need to say. I know that I am more troublesome than your son, so I never want to get married and have a son. How troublesome it is to raise a son.”

Lu Xuan: “You haven’t raised a son, so you don’t know anything.”

Third Sister felt that her son was quite cute, although he was so loud.

“Lu Yan troubled me a lot when he was a child, so I don’t want to raise children,” as an elder brother, he had already suffered enough to raise a child.

When Lu Xiao was studying coconut trees there, he happened to meet a group of people who came to pick coconuts. He also participated in it and said enthusiastically, “Man, I am a good tree climber, so I won’t charge you for my help.”

Lu Xuan: “… …It’s more troublesome to raise you than to raise my son, do you think you didn’t trouble me when you were young?”

Lu Xiao had a heated talk with a few locals. No matter what he was doing on that island, Lu Xuan just sat and waited for him. He also climbed a tree and picked a coconut leaf for shade.

Lu Xiao was very good among the locals. When he finally left, he was given three coconuts and a lot of fresh live shrimp. He even got a little squirrel.

He caught it from the tree.

This little squirrel was very clever. Those local people said that those little squirrels were very agile and not easy to catch. He didn’t believe it, so he caught one to show his new buddies, and when they saw it, they praised him-

“You’re fast.”

“Wow!”

 …

Proudly, Lu Xiao carried that little squirrel and came to play as he was really idle and bored. As the squirrel didn’t run away, Lu Xiao cut a coconut for it to eat.

 After the little squirrel had eaten several bites, it jumped on him when he was full. That little squirrel was quite friendly to him.

After playing, Lu Xiao remembered that he was going to his younger brother’s house and couldn’t continue playing with the squirrel outside.

He put the little squirrel on the ground and left a coconut for it, intending to say goodbye to it, but just as he turned to leave, the little squirrel climbed on his shoulder.

Its climbing movements were exceptionally flexible, as its jet-black eyes were piercing, and although its ears were small, they stood straight and looked cute.

Lu Xiao pinched its soft body and placed it on the ground, but the little squirrel climbed up again. It didn’t climb up on Lu Xiao’s shoulder, but pulled on his back.

Lu Xiao grabbed it back and forth several times, and each time it crawled back onto his body.

Lu Xiao: “God, this squirrel is relying on me.” He couldn’t shake it off.

Lu Xuan, who had a panoramic view of the previous scene, felt that her brother was playing with the squirrel’s feelings.

Lu Xuan folded her arms and looked at him, “When you’re out on a mission, do you just pass the time like this?” 

Lu Xiao: “…This is the first time…”

The squirrel got entangled.

There was no other way, Lu Xiao couldn’t get rid of the squirrel. He could only take it to his brother’s house as a guest.

This little squirrel jumped up and down on his chest and behind, and sometimes even went to his head. As a result, he received strange looks from many people along the way.

 Lu Xiao: “…” No he didn’t come from the circus.

That was the fault of his cheap hands that played with the squirrel.

That squirrel didn’t know how to be a squirrel at all. It always wanted to run before, but then depended on him and didn’t run. It was dragging its big tail and sweeping in front of him.

 Lu Xuan looked at it and smiled, “Bring the squirrel to Xiao Mingxi.”

 Lu Xiao picked the little squirrel on his head, placed it on his shoulder, and then closed his eyes: “…” How desperate!

The two came to the colony home and saw a lot of strangers. The little squirrel was indeed a little scared. It couldn’t help shrinking into Lu Xiao’s arms and huddled itself into a ball.

After finding that nothing happened, its ears moved, and a small head popped out of his arms.

Lu Xiao patted his head and found that it was quite comfortable.
