"We always look at others, focus on the good in others, and desire what others have. and often neglect their most precious things!"

"Jiaming~Jiaming~Jiaming~"

"Listen, Mrs. Yang is calling her little grandson again!" Tang Shanzi said to his wife Qiu Ju.

"That kid in their family is naughty and loves to cause trouble! Dog, you must not get too close to him!" Qiu Ju was drying potato chips, and when she heard Tang Shanzi say this, she kicked her son who was playing next to her.

"But, Mom, Jiaming is very powerful! He went down to the river that day and caught a lot of fish! He can also swim!" The dog was kicked to the ground by Qiu Ju's kick, got up and patted the soil on his body, and there was a line of green snot hanging from his nose.

"If you dare to follow him down the river to fish and take a bath, Lao Tzu will break your dog's legs!" Tang Shanzi reprimanded the dog. The dog was inexplicably scolded, and his heart was not happy, so he ran out to play with Ma Liang.

"Horse, horse, I'm a dog!" Before he reached Ma Liang's house, the dog's voice had already entered the earthen house that was whirring with light smoke before him.

"Come on, come on, I'm burning potatoes!" Ma Liang replied in the room.

As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, the dog quickened his pace.

As soon as he entered the house, the dog saw Ma Liang squatting alone in front of the fire pit, digging out the artichoke from the fire pit with fire tongs, turning it over and burying it again!

"Come on, I'll burn six artichokes, and I'll call Jiaming later, let's go to the back mountain to collect dry firewood!

Ma Liang's words went to the heart of the dog, he had not had this kind of activity for a long time under the control of Tang Shanzi and Qiu Ju! Besides, he lost picking up dry firewood today, as long as he came back and brought a bundle of dry firewood, his parents would not be able to say anything! After all, he had labored!

"However, my parents won't let me play with Jiaming!" Gouzi finally remembered Tang Shanzi and Qiu Ju's words.

"Why?" said Maleon, who took out the first potato from the fire pit and handed it to the dog, who put the potato in his pocket.

"I don't know, anyway, he just won't let me play with him! Maybe it's because he's a foreigner!" The dog can't figure out why his parents don't let him play with Jiaming, after all, Jiaming is a powerful person in his eyes. He has a good academic performance, can catch a lot of fish, and can make his own toy car out of mud!

"Regardless of them, I'll call them later, and when you go back, you will say that when you go to collect dry firewood, you will encounter them, and they will be speechless!"

"I'll see it!"

"Okay! That's it! You three, give one to Jiaming, and I'll give another to Jiaming!" The dry wood gradually burned out, and the fire became much smaller. Maleonn scooped out the remaining potatoes from the fire pit and put them in his pocket.

"Don't worry, by the way, you bring the firewood knife, I don't dare to go back and get it!"

"This is easy to do, I have a lot of firewood knives at home, you can just bring them!"

The two set off and ran to the back of Granny Yang's house.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo~" The dog first learned that the cuckoo called a few times, it was the code they agreed upon! No one answered.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo~" Ma Liang also learned that the cuckoo called a few times, but no one answered.

"Isn't he not at home?" asked Maleonn.

"I just heard Granny Yang calling him, he shouldn't be at home!"

"What then?

Ma Liang thought about it, and suddenly thought of a place!

"I know where he is, come with me!" Before he finished speaking, Ma Liang pulled the dog and ran towards the back mountain.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo~" As soon as he arrived at the back mountain, Ma Liang first called out two "secret signals".

"Cuckoo~" A voice came out of the radish field!

"Haha, I knew you were here!" Ma Liang pulled the dog and ran to the middle of the turnip field.

"How did you know I was here?" asked Lin Jiaming.

"Where else can you go besides here? You can't catch fish now!" Ma Liang handed Lin Jiaming an artichoke and looked at the dog again.

The dog also took a potato out of his pocket and handed it to him.

Lin Jiaming took the artichoke, it was still hot!

"We're going to pick up dry firewood, do you want to go together?" Ma Liang picked a green-skinned radish from the radish field, pulled it out, peeled it with a firewood knife, and took a bite!

It's so sweet!

"Let's go!"

Lin Jiaming has already eaten several radishes, and these two potatoes came in time, after all, most of the radishes are water, and they need "dry goods" like potatoes to fill their stomachs. The dog plucked one too, but he chose a red-skinned turnip.

"If you choose that radish, it must be spicy!" Ma Liang glanced at the radish in the dog's hand and gave him a blank look. After being with them for so long, he still hadn't learned to pick sweet turnips.

"It's so red!"

"Let him be! If he likes it, let him take that!" Lin Jiaming peeled off the artichoke skin, and scraped the clean artichoke on the skin into his mouth with his front teeth, and suddenly felt a little stronger, he couldn't starve after all!

"Let's go, it won't be nice to see the road when it's dark!" Ma Liang looked at the sky, and it was gray.

Autumn is sometimes like this, it is neither cloudy nor sunny, and it is impossible to estimate the time based on the sun.

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, talking about the embarrassment of their classmates last week, while cutting dry values from trees.

Perhaps they were too involved in picking it up, and none of them noticed that it was getting late.

When the dog finished bundling the dry wood with the faint light, the road under his feet was no longer visible. The woods were littered with dead leaves, and in the darkness of the night. I don't know where there was an unknown bird call, and then the silence made everyone a little scared!

"Jiaming, Ma Liang, I'm afraid!" the dog carried the bundle of dry firewood to his shoulders, his legs shaking uncontrollably.

"What are you afraid of, let's carry the firewood and keep going down the mountain, it must be right!" Lin Jiaming carried the dry firewood, walked in front, heard the dog say this, turned around, and said behind him. He couldn't see where the dog man was.

"In this way, the three of us, every few steps, shout, to avoid separation, we can't find anyone!" Ma Liang carried firewood and walked at the back.

"I agree, just do it!" Lin Jiaming said earlier.

"Dog!" Lin Jiaming shouted after walking for a while.

"Huh, I'm here!"

"Ma Liang!" no one answered.

"Ma Liang?" Lin Jiaming shouted again.

Still no one agreed.

"Dog, is Ma Liang behind you?" Lin Jiaming asked Gouzi.

"I ...... I don't know!" The dog was a little panicked, this dark wood, the autumn night wind blew people's faces and hands hurt. Where can he still pay attention to what is happening behind him!

"Suffered!"
