When Hu Jiaojiao returned home, all five cubs had returned.

The wood in the yard is piled up and neatly stacked, as if they are the fruits of today's work.

When she returned, the five cubs were tiptoeing into the house. In the middle of the yard, there was a stone basin as big as a washbasin, filled with water, and there were three small palm-sized fish swimming around in it.

"The cubs are back? They actually caught a fish today, so awesome!"

Seeing Zaizai, Hu Jiaojiao gathered her mood, changed from the melancholy and loss just now, and tried her best to present her best side to Zaizai.

She didn't want her negative emotions to affect them.

In the past, her parents, who often quarreled at home, never cared about her. They made loud noises in front of her and smashed pots and dishes, which made her subconsciously afraid of people with loud voices when she grew up.

When she first traveled through time, she saw Tiger Crystal for the first time, and it was for this reason that she was conditioned to be afraid.

Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's voice, the five cubs froze.

Hu Jiaojiao also noticed something was wrong.

Why are Xiao Wu and Ling'er so quiet today? Xiao Wu was always the first one to rush into her arms.

Hu Jiaojiao approached suspiciously and saw that the five cubs, except Long Xiu, were all wet and hiding behind the door. There were water drops on their hair and bodies, and there was a pool of water stains on the ground.

She was suddenly startled and hurriedly stepped forward.

"What's going on? How did you end up like this?"

Hu Jiaojiao felt distressed for a while, and quickly took out a towel, handed one to each of the big boys, and then wiped Long Ling'er's face and hair.

The little girl is weak. The weather has begun to get colder now, so she can't catch a cold.

Long Yu and Long Zhong took the towels, lowered their heads, and said nothing, a rare silence.

Long Yao was covered in yellow mud and looked like a loach, with only two round red eyes exposed.

It was always naughty and mischievous. At this time, it also shrank its head, like a puppy that had made a mistake and accepted a coward, carefully observing Hu Jiaojiao's face.

She has a tendency to run away immediately when she gets angry.

"Mom, we know we were wrong. We will never go to the river to catch fish again. We won't get our clothes wet. Don't be angry..." Long Ling'er clasped his hands together tightly, his voice soft and waxy.

apology.

These are clothes made by my mother herself. She must be very angry if they stain them like this.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Long Zhong also took a step forward, cocking his neck and said:

"It's my fault. My clothes got wet too. If you want to get angry, just hit me. Don't blame Ling'er and Xiao Wu!"

Long Yu also walked forward silently, stretched out his dark palms, "Hit me, don't hit them."

It was their fault that the clothes got dirty, and he will bear his own fault.

Hu Jiaojiao glanced at them and raised her hand.

Long Yu closed his eyes, but the imagined pain did not come. When he opened his eyes, he found that Hu Jiaojiao was just wiping his hands, her movements gentle.

He watched Hu Jiao Jiao Zai carefully wipe his hands clean. There was no expression of anger on his face. Instead, there was deep concern and he kept muttering in his mouth:

"Silly bastards, it's just that your clothes are wet. Wouldn't it be nice if my mother could help you wash them after you change them? But you, how did it get like this? Did some cub bully you?"

The timid and timid appearance of the cubs made Hu Jiaojiao feel distressed.

What she is most worried about is that her cubs will be bullied.

"No, no one bullied us, we just accidentally fell in the river." Long Ling'er shook his head quickly, but his eyes were wandering.

Children always feel that they cover up their lies very well, but in fact, in the eyes of adults, they are full of loopholes.

Hu Jiaojiao could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Long Ling'er, and gently pinched her soft, waxy, gray cheeks. Compared with the thin appearance before, she had now gained some flesh.

She squatted down and said to Long Ling'er seriously:

"Ling'er, my mother won't be angry if your clothes are dirty, but if you lie, my mother will be angry."

"I..." Long Linger lowered his head in embarrassment.

Hu Jiaojiao looked at the other Zaizai next to her, "The same goes for you. In my mother's eyes, you are much more important than your clothes. My mother will not beat you for such a trivial matter, but..."

"If you get hurt or bullied outside, my mother will be very worried, so tell me the truth, is someone bullying you?"

Hearing this, Long Ling'er raised his head and glanced at the Zaizai, seemingly asking.

Long Yu and Long Zhong turned away, not intending to tell the truth.

Hu Jiaojiao had a headache looking at the stubborn expressions of the few Zazai. She really didn't know who she was following.

"It's not a good idea to lie. Have you thought clearly?" She lowered her voice and looked at the Zaizai with a serious face.

Long Ling'er's little face suddenly wrinkled and squeezed together, looking embarrassed, like a sad little bun.

"Mother, Ling'er knows that she was wrong. Ling'er will never lie again." After thinking for a moment, Long Ling'er honestly lowered his head and seriously admitted his mistake.

A happy smile appeared on Hu Jiaojiao's face.

This is a good boy!

She can accept white lies that don't endanger Zaizai's safety and don't let Zaizai be wronged. She can also allow Zaizai to have their own little secrets, but she can let them be bullied, but no!

"Ling'er is good. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. You are still a good boy. Tell mother what happened today?"

Hu Jiaojiao gently rubbed Long Ling'er's head and asked warmly.

"Yes..." Long Ling'er hesitated for a long time, but didn't explain why.

"It's Luli. When we were catching fish in the river, he brought a group of cubs over and pushed us into the river." At this moment, Long Xiu's clear voice blurted out.

Although he did not go into the river and remained on the bank, he heard clearly what happened today.

Long Xiu hated that she was blind and could only stand aside when her brothers and sisters were bullied, unable to help at all.

Fortunately, the river was not deep and the brothers and sisters were all good at swimming, so nothing happened. Otherwise, he would have blamed himself for the rest of his life.

"I'm sorry, it was me who failed to protect them, and I was the one who suggested lying to you." Long Yu also lowered his head, honestly admitting his mistake.

Long Zhong gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his scarred face was full of anger, "Damn Lu Li, isn't it just because of their overwhelming numbers? When I grow up, I will beat them all over the ground.

Looking for teeth!”

Hu Jiaojiao glanced at Long Zhong's angry expression and felt that when he grew up, he might not just have his teeth knocked out.

After thinking for a while, she had a flash of inspiration, turned around and asked softly with a smile:

"You guys want revenge? Mother will give you a good thing!"
