When he returned to Wang Xiaoming's house, the roof of the mud-brick house had been removed, and the mud bricks had also been removed, but the former one-meter-high foundation wall remained.

Because it is a one-story building, the foundation wall made of hydrated lime, loess and sand and gravel used to become stronger and stronger over time, so it was not dismantled and replaced with a cement reinforced foundation.

Twelve workers are working, some are re-laying bricks, some are re-finishing the beams and re-insecting the beams that were good before.

In front of the house, in addition to the things of Wang Xiaoming's house, there are also piles of cement, sand, bricks, new tiles, and beams......

...... Zhou Xiaobai piled up the things he bought outside the house, and after protecting them, he drove the pickup truck to return the car.

...... Four days later, the new tiled house was rebuilt under the help of twelve all-round bricklayers of the older generation.

In one day, the bricklayer finished the wall.

The next day the bricklayer cleaned the walls and the roof, and dug and built the septic tank. At night, the electrician added to help, and the electricity was done well, because there was not much potential and water outlet, and the open pipe was walked, and 4 electricians helped to get it in half the night.

The third day is to get the floor done and the interior walls scraped white.

The fourth day is to smooth and roll the big white wall and get the kitchen stove ready.

The structure of the house has basically not changed, except that the kitchen has been made smaller and a bathroom has been added to the kitchen.

The kitchen is still a wood-burning stove, because there are only children and the elderly in this family, and Zhou Xiaobai didn't get them gas, so it will be safer for them to burn the fire.

The bathroom is also very simple, with a faucet outlet, a water heater, and a squatting toilet.

On the fifth day, Zhou Xiaobai picked up their family of four, and when they got off the car, they were excited and happy, the village chief's family was present, and the village chief also brought someone over.

When they got off the bus, the village chief lit them a roll of firecrackers, and there was a festive sound of "crackling".

The two old men smiled when they saw people, and thanked them when they saw people, especially Zhou Xiaobai, I don't know how many times they said the words of thanks, and when they entered the home with the couplets of their new homes, their joy and gratitude were even more difficult to express.

The two children were jumping and running around the house, and the two old men were patting their own big tui, and their emotions were inexpressible, and they even shed tears, crying profusely.

Under the command of the two children, the porter got the things outside in and put them away.

The two old men used the new stove and the vegetables Zhou Xiaobai bought for them, and made a thankful lunch for Zhou Xiaobai and the village chief. Zhou Xiaobai originally wanted to help, but they didn't let him, and none of them let him help.

Zhou Xiaobai and the village chief's family chatted at the table, and after a while, the two children, who were as happy as flowers, brought plates of food to the table one after another.

There are nine dishes made of fish, chicken, duck, goose, and vegetables, as well as a soup.

After the family said thank you to Zhou Xiaobai, they ate happily.

Although those things are not full of color and flavor, they are not comparable to the things made by the chefs of big restaurants.

Because those dishes not only have the intention of the vegetable maker to the ingredients, but also the emotion "the emotion of the vegetable maker and the emotion of the vegetable eater". It can be said that in terms of consciousness, the food in the big restaurant is a big step behind.

After the meal, Zhou Xiaobai was arrested by Wang Yuanyuan to be a strong man.

Zhou Xiaobai didn't want to go, but the village chief and his wife both asked Zhou Xiaobai. Zhou Xiaobai also realized that it was dangerous for her to go into the mountains as a girl, so she agreed, but the next day.

Zhou Xiaobai did not go to the village chief's house this time, but slept on a folding bed at Wang Xiaoming's house, but Wang Xiaoming and his family were unwilling, so they had to let him sleep on the bed, and finally he slept in Wang Xiaoming's bed, and Wang Xiaoming slept on a folding bed.

The next day, Wang Yuanyuan was waiting for Zhou Xiaobai in front of the door early.

Wang Yuanyuan carried a backpack, a pair of sneakers, trousers, a hat, a pair of arm sleeves, a ponytail, and a wooden stick in her hand to make a walking stick for boarding.

Zhou Xiaobai, who was carrying a bag and holding a must-have hook knife in his hand, looked at her with a beautiful face, and said with a smile: "You're really afraid that I will eat you!"

Wang Yuanyuan threw a hat and a pair of arm sleeves to him, and sneered: "Joke, if you were afraid, I wouldn't ask you to accompany me up the mountain." I'm afraid you'll be eaten by mosquitoes, so it's for you, wear it!"

"I didn't expect that you big beauty knows a lot?" Zhou Xiaobai put those things on and said with a smile.

"I'm a native of the countryside and this knowledge is a must-have. ”

Looking at their grandmother, the grandmother grabbed Zhou Xiaobai's hand and said worriedly: "Child, be careful, there may be wild boars in the mountains." ”

...... After Zhou Xiaobai and the two of them said goodbye to their grandmother, they arrived at the foot of a big mountain.

Zhou Xiaobai looked at the steep mountains and forests in front of him, and didn't know what Wang Yuanyuan was going to do in the mountains, so he asked her curiously: "This mountain is not easy to walk, you are a girl entering the mountain, what are you going to do?"

"I studied at the Agricultural University and was in my senior year after the summer vacation. I'm going to write a graduation thesis on how our hometown will develop, and I probably have it all figured out. Wang Yuanyuan hit the grass with the stick in her hand, and then walked in and said.

"I've heard that farming is tiring. Although you are not very good, you have a good figure and a star face! There should be a lot of rich second generations chasing after you, why don't you choose a suitable one to marry, why do you have to work so hard. ”

Wang Yuanyuan sneered: "What you said is light, I am the one who wants to repay my hometown." If I marry him, will his family give me the money? Presumably, as soon as she opens her mouth, they will be labeled as a money worshipper.

What's more, my best friend was tired of being played by a rich second generation, so she was thrown aside, so when I looked at the rich second generation, I felt that they were disgusting, so how could I look for them!"

She stopped, and Zhou Xiaobai, who was following closely behind, bumped into her backpack, she was startled, pulled the distance away, pointed at Zhou Xiaobai with a bastard, and said worriedly:

"Tell you! Don't mess around. I've practiced martial arts. Be careful that I leave you without offspring!"

Zhou Xiaobai smiled, didn't talk to her, picked up the wooden stick on the ground, knocked on the grass in front of him, walked in front, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, what are you afraid of, are you going this way?"

Wang Yuanyuan didn't reply to him, he continued to ask as he walked: "What does entering the mountain have to do with you writing a thesis?" ”

"Of course, I heard my dead grandfather say that there are a few hundred-year-old tea trees on the mountain, and I think after I graduate, I will use them to make a good fortune and make our village famous. ”

"Doesn't your parents object?"

"My dad was for it, my mom was against it, but I had already gone to college in this industry, and my mom compromised. Now is the era of the new farmer, all the machines are used, and the work is not as hard as you think. ”

...... They chatted as they walked, and after walking for a while, they crossed the two mountains, and Wang Yuanyuan was already panting.

Zhou Xiaobai used a hook knife to cut off the excess branches of the dead wood that fell to the ground, pointed to the dead wood and said, "You sit down and rest!"

They sat down, took a sip of water, rested for a while, and went on walking.

At noon, they sit on your muddy floor covered with dead branches and leaves, eating the food they each carry.

Zhou Xiaobai's food was prepared for him by his grandmother, seven native eggs, more than a dozen flatbreads and some fire tui intestines. Zhou Xiaobai ate 4 eggs and 4 flatbreads.

Wang Yuanyuan's food is the same as Zhou Xiaobai's, but hers is prepared by her mother, and she only eats 2 local eggs and 3 flatbreads.

After eating, they each drank their own water, Wang Yuanyuan took half a sip and found that her water bottle was empty.

She took out another bottle, and found that it was gone, and she shook it with its mouth downward, and looked at it with her eyes open, but not a drop of water dropped.

With a dry mouth, she swallowed her saliva and looked at Zhou Xiaobai who was drinking water.

Zhou Xiaobai screwed the cap of his water bottle with half a bottle of water and put it back on the left side of her backpack, she looked a little lost and greedy.

Zhou Xiaobai then took out a bottle of water from the right and handed it to her: "Here, I haven't drunk this." ”

Her lost face immediately laughed, and she took it: "Thank you!"

After that, they continued walking, and they picked up the cool mountains and rivers as a water source on the way.

Facing a big mountain, Wang Yuanyuan pointed and said happily: "It should be this mountain." ”

"You've been here. Are you so sure?" asked Zhou Xiaobai, who was walking in front, to her.

"Grandpa said that there is a cat's head mountain in Wang Wenshan, and the ancient tea tree is on the top of the mountain. Wang Yuanyuan said confidently.

"Then let's hurry up, wait until it gets dark, it's not easy to move around. ”

"Hmm!"

Zhou Xiaobai waved a hook knife and chopped down the shrubs and vines that were blocking the way......

A steep slope, after Zhou Xiaobai climbed up, he looked condescendingly at Wang Yuanyuan, who was jumping up and about to climb up.

Zhou Xiaobai smiled, grabbed the tree with one hand and reached out to pull her with the other, she hesitated, and finally handed the jade hand to Zhou Xiaobai, and Zhou Xiaobai pulled her up with force.

They continued on their way, when suddenly there was movement in front of them.

The bushes in front of them shook and rustled.

Zhou Xiaobai, who also heard footsteps, stretched out his hand to stop Wang Yuanyuan, and Zhou Xiaobai, who had a sense of danger, said: "It may be a large animal, climb the tree quickly." ”

Saying that, Zhou Xiaobai jumped onto a big tree, holding the big tree with his feet and hands, and quickly climbed to the height of the tree, but his hook knife fell to the ground.

Wang Yuanyuan listened to Zhou Xiaobai's words, she didn't dare to hesitate, she threw the stick in her hand on the ground and hugged a tree that was half smaller than Zhou Xiaobai's hold, she climbed up quickly, but because the tree was small, it naturally did not grow tall.

When she climbed two meters, the tree began to sway, and she did not dare to climb it again, and if she climbed again, the tree was in danger of breaking at any time.

No sooner had they climbed the tree than a large boar with a pair of large tusks came out of the bush with a smell.

Zhou Xiaobai was very calm, because the tree he climbed on was big enough, while Wang Yuanyuan was different, plus the wild boar was sniffing back and forth under her tree.

Wang Yuanyuan looked at the wild boar under the tree, her eyes were closed, her body trembled, and the tree she was holding also trembled.

The shaking branches collided with the surrounding branches, rubbing and rubbing, making a rustling sound.

Zhou Xiaobai watched, he threw a bottle of water to the ground in the distance, and the wild boar listened to the movement and ran over.

After seeing the wild boar walk away, Zhou Xiaobai whispered to her: "Yuanyuan, don't be afraid, if you are afraid, the smell on your body will be greater, and there will be movement." ”

But how could she still hear such a whispered voice, she was still trembling.

The wild boar, which ran over, sniffed with its big nose, and found that it was not as big as the smell just now, so it turned back again.
