Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

Chang'an General's Mansion.

A while ago, the mistress asked someone to dig a square pond in the large open space in the backyard. The pond is divided into a deep pool and a shallow pool. There are several steps extending to the shore around it. They are all neatly filled with gravel and paved with bricks. A water channel with a guide tube is dug on one end, and a pipe for draining water is dug underground at the other end. The stone slabs around it are higher than the surrounding area. There are square stone paths, bamboo rafts as walls, screens as doors, and a few rocking chairs are moved in, with a pyramid-shaped grass shed set up on top of the rocking chairs.

Open-air swimming pool, sun umbrellas and beach chairs.

At noon, the water temperature of the pool, which had been warm after being filled that morning, had been rising for most of the day. Qin Yunxiao, wearing shorts, bent down to test the water temperature, and before anyone else could react, he dove in. Unused to the water, he shivered slightly, swallowing a few gulps of water before finally moving his hands and feet around in the pool, shaking his head and legs and making faces at the shore.

On the shore, Wangshu, wearing wooden clogs and sandals, breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief. He couldn't tell whether it was hot sweat or cold sweat.

"Dabao, do you want to add hot water?"

Qin Yunxiao rolled around in the pool, his head flipping out, "No need! It's cool and comfortable!"

In this way, the fat man swam in the pool, and when he was tired, he went ashore to drink water and eat cakes. Wangshu read the account book in a rocking chair on the shore. Under the roof, there were umbrellas and ice basins, and someone was fanning him. It was far less cool and comfortable than indoors.

But the mistress had to take care of the floating young master, so Xiaoqing added two more ice basins around and fanned herself quickly.

Qin Yunxiao swam until he was exhausted. He came ashore, hugged his mother's legs, rested his head on her thighs, and grunted to calm his breathing. "Mom, this is fun!"

The pool was filled with half water and then hot water was added. Wangshu dragged his son to squat on the shore to test the water temperature. The two maids who were good at swimming went into the water from the short pool first. Qin San and Qin Si each held one of their children and slowly entered the water by stepping on the steps.

The mistress who doesn't like water started crying first.

Wangshu had no choice but to go into the water and sit on the steps, holding him and starting to play with the water. Xiaosi was also scared at first, but when her brother came over and followed his example, holding her and splashing water with his hands, she slowly started to play.

Wangshu held the water-fearing mistress in his arms for five days.

Qin Yunxiao enjoyed swimming every afternoon, and from time to time he would take Xiaosi for a few laps. As soon as Xiaosan got into the water, he hugged his mother tightly... and from time to time he would push his way into his mother's bra, and the toothy baby would take a bite as soon as he opened his mouth!

Wangshu was bitten several times so hard that he trembled. He slapped Xiaosan several times with little strength. Later, he simply did not let Xiaosan go into the water and let him watch from the shore.

The maid and Yun Xiao took Xiao Si out to play. Sometimes the little girl would choke on the water and hug her brother, and she would giggle and not be afraid at all. Wang Shu watched over the baby the whole time. He was short of energy and swam back and forth twice, taking a break, but it was very slow.

Since they were swimming, they naturally wore less. At first, Qin Yunxiao couldn't stop staring at his mother's shorts and T-shirt. He was straightforward and said whatever he wanted to say. He had been beaten and starved before, so he didn't dare to touch anything. But his mother was wearing cool clothes, and she looked good in the water. He leaned close to Wangshu's ear and expressed his feelings, "Mom, you are so beautiful all over!"

At the beginning, he would lean over to Wangshu's ear eight or ten times a day. Wangshu took it easy and said that Dabao was handsome and a great swimmer...

Obviously, the maidservants who went into the water were not wearing much, but Qin Yunxiao thought his mother was the most beautiful. After entering the water, her curves were exposed, and he loved to stare at her. He even asked about the scar on her shoulder clearly. The impression he had from his childhood was deepened, and he understood more clearly why his sister was deaf and would not be able to speak in the future.

I also wanted to know why there was a pimple on my belly, and after I found out, I hugged it and started crying.

That day, Wangshu was bedridden with abdominal pain. This kid didn't even go swimming. Instead, he stayed by his mother's bedside, gently rubbing her belly, full of worry, "Mom, did you catch a cold?"

My ten-year-old son looked distressed.

Wangshu sighed and gave him some basic knowledge about girls' menstrual period. The younger the child, the easier it is for him to accept new knowledge. Although he was surprised, he was not disgusted or afraid. He knew that his mother would be uncomfortable for three days, so he came to accompany him after class.

Later, when Qin Yunxiao was watching people swimming on the shore, he would not go to his mother as soon as he got ashore. He would wipe himself dry before approaching people.

He showed his rare patience in teaching his younger sister, breathing in air, exhaling air, and making a puffy mouth. He even carried his eager younger brother into the water, and could clumsily guide him to play in the water again and again, "Xiao San, the water is fun, play with it!"

I floated around in the afternoon and went to practice martial arts with Tang Bo in the evening.

"In the past, it was the general who got up early and practiced by lighting the lamp. Now, it is the young master who is diligent and practices by lighting the lamp at night."

Tang Bo returned to the room, lifted up the Tang Yuan that rushed towards him, and said to Chun Yang with emotion, "The young master has grown up!"

"You don't know, Yun Xiao is very good at floating now. None of the two maids in the afternoon could catch up with him. After half an hour, his face was not red and he was not out of breath. He stayed in there for another half an hour."

After the pond was built, no outside men were allowed to enter the backyard, so Uncle Tang transferred eighty female soldiers to guard the innermost layer.

Hearing that Yun Xiao had made great progress in his studies, he was very pleased, "All the hard work he put in over the years was worth it."

This year I had originally planned to continue learning planktonic swimming in the pond in the other courtyard. Thinking that my children would be too busy to let go, I decided to dig my own pond. This time, it turned out to be the right decision.

"Really? But Xiao San and Xiao Si are too young. They need to play in the water for a few more years!"

Chun Yang tore off two pieces of chicken legs to feed Tang Yuan, but Tang Yuan just jumped around and refused to eat. So Chun Yang simply ate them all in a few gulps.

"Tangyuan, you won't be chased by your family to be fed."

Tang Bo looked at his daughter's slight grievance and smiled. "Tangyuan, admit it. None of the young masters and young ladies in the mansion have ever enjoyed being chased and fed! From now on, eat your food properly and stay put!"

When Old Tang mentioned this, Chun Yang was filled with admiration. "Xiao San and Xiao Si are almost able to eat by themselves with a spoon. Next time, don't feed her all the time. If she makes a mess, just let her be!"

Old Tang nodded, "I have to endure it."

Today, he saw the young master and young lady eating, with rice and meat crumbs all over their faces. They wiped the rice and meat crumbs with their hands and ate them cleanly. After finishing the two spoonfuls of beef fried rice in the bowl, the lady gave them two more spoonfuls. The brother and sister ate with great enthusiasm...

The two faces were as big as rice and meat grains, and the table was covered with stars. The wife, who was usually very particular about everything, just stared at them. She gave them two spoonfuls from time to time, and almost ten times a meal.

Before each distribution, the brother and sister had to pick and pick, cleaning up the leftover rice grains everywhere. After the meal, they almost lay down on the table to lick the rice grains.

Tang Bo and Chun Yang talked about this scene, and Chun Yang laughed, "So we should just follow their example! Xiao San and Xiao Si are so healthy, they were soaking in the water and going back and forth. Madam sneezed a few times, but the kids were completely fine."

Speaking of this, Tang Bo looked at the child's mother and said, "I think Tangyuan is wearing too much, but you think the child is cold."

Chun Yang is silent.

After all, there are too many to learn.
