It is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and now is the best time, so Zhang Laohan didn't think too much about it and decided to leave immediately.

Wan Rong wanted to go to the water pipe with the village, but naturally he didn't have time, so he had to dig it with Zhang Laohan.

Zhang Laohan asked Wan Rong to take him to a specific location, and was about to set off when he happened to be met by Xiao Mu.

"Grandpa, where are you going?"

"I'm going to dig in the sand, what's wrong?"

Xiao Mu thought to himself that he was idle at home, so it was better to go with Zhang Laohan, maybe he could encounter some interesting things, so he said, "I'm going too." ”

turned his head and immediately went to get a special small hoe, and followed the two to the intersection of Zhaibei Road.

It's a slope, full of rocks, surrounded by a few hundred-year-old banyan trees, with a little bit of household garbage at the roots, and staring at the trunk of the tree can't help but make people feel frightened.

But although this banyan tree is tall, because there are no branches and leaves at the bottom of the trunk, the hot sun can still be unscrupulously sprinkled on the earth.

Zhang Laohan leaned down and picked up a piece of yellow sand and stone, and pinched it hard.

"Bang"

The yellow sand stone bursts instantly, and the sand particles drift away with the harmony, which looks particularly golden in the sun's rays.

Zhang Lao looked at it and pursed his lips, nodded and said, "Well, this sand doesn't look bad, it shouldn't be much of a problem." ”

Wan Rong didn't say a word, and went to do his own thing.

Zhang Laohan also took off his coat, picked up the hoe and began to clean up the rubble on the surface.

Xiao Mu sat on the side and looked at Zhang Laohan quietly, reluctant to do it for a long time.

Stretched out his hand to look at the palm full of scars, and then looked at the hoe beside him, thinking of the hard work of digging a ditch, his heart trembled, work is not so simple.

But since they are all here, how can they be happy if they don't help Zhang Laohan work?

After a struggle, he finally picked up the hoe.

He walked up to Zhang Laohan and said, "Come, grandpa, let me dig this piece you dug." ”

Zhang Laohan stopped what he was doing, stared at Xiao Mu with both hands on the hoe, "I said you kid, you are quite good at picking up cheap ones, do some labor-saving things." ”

Xiao Mu glanced at Zhang Laohan with a weak heart, lowered his head and said while digging the sand: "It's not that I don't know that you want to dig the sand in that location." ”

Now Xiao Mu is not only obedient and well-behaved, but also learned the skill of quibbling.

Zhang Laohan was speechless about it, and found a piece of land to continue digging sand.

Xiao Mu raised the hoe high, used all his strength, and dug down heavily.

"Whoosh~"

The sand was very soft, and most of the hoes had sunk down, and I thought it was over, and I couldn't pull it out, but with a lot of force, I easily pulled it out.

Xiao Mu, who was still worried about being scolded by Zhang Laohan, was overjoyed in an instant, and Zhang Laohan saw that Xiao Mu was smiling happily and asked, "What are you doing, are you still so happy at work?"

Xiao Mu naturally didn't dare to say why, but simply coped with it and said: "No, the main thing is to save a lot of money, so I'm happy." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Laohan took out his pipe and smoked it, and sighed for a long time, "Hey, this is all a helpless move, if it weren't for the lack of funds, who would want to dig this yellow sand." ”

Xiao Mu also sat on the ground, staring intently into the distance, repeating what Zhang Laohan said in his mind.

Yes, who wants to dig yellow sand, if the conditions are not allowed, and although the quality is good, it is not as good as river sand.

At this time, the people in the village happened to pass by, looked at the old man Zhang and said, "Hey, old Zhang, what are you two masters doing here?"

In broad daylight, it is impossible to hide the sand dredging under Lang Lang, sooner or later it will be known, it is better to tell the man honestly what he is doing.

So Zhang Laohan smiled and said: "Hehe, this tap water is also under construction, and we are planning to rebuild a pool, so come here to dig some sand." ”

The man was surprised: "This thing can be used as sand, I'm afraid it's impossible, don't tease me." ”

This made the man think it was incredible, isn't this just ordinary sand? How can it be used as sand?

As everyone knows, Zhang Laohan also thought so at the beginning, and he didn't believe it until Wan Rong saw someone using it.

"Yes, some people in the village have already used it, and I heard that the effect is not bad. ”

The man still didn't believe it, so he said, "It's a good idea, it's better to buy a car and river sand." ”

Zhang Laohan squinted his eyes, spit out and said, "Of course, but I don't have any money, I have no choice but to take it back and try it." ”

The man heard Zhang Laohan say that he had no money to buy sand, so he said mockingly: "Oh, this pig is reluctant to spend money after selling so much money, don't be so stingy, you still have to use it when you should use it." ”

Xiao Mu felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, and scolded that person in his heart, which can be regarded as secretly venting.

On the contrary, Zhang Laohan did not mean to be angry at all, and said calmly: "Oh, this is your fault, no matter how many pigs I sell, it will not be useful, it's not that your family is rich, how can you be like you, what do you want to do if you have money in your family, my family can't compare with you." ”

The man was obviously angry, his face was a little ugly, and he waved his hand, "Come on, you two are busy, I still have to go to the field." ”

After the man left, Xiao Mu didn't talk to Zhang Laohan, and Zhang Laohan was the same, maybe he felt a little uncomfortable.

Later, Xiao Mu was exhausted, and the hoe was getting heavier and heavier, so he said, "Grandpa, why don't you go home, I can't dig anymore." ”

Zhang Laohan looked at the sun, and it was still hanging high in the sky, "I'm waiting, it's still early." ”

Xiao Mu looked at the dug yellow sand, and thought to himself, isn't this thing going to be taken back after digging it? Now that I've dug so much, I can't take it back, if I put it here, will someone take it?

A serious walked up to Zhang Laohan and said: "Grandpa, look, we can't put it here after digging so much, what should we do if someone takes it, we have to hurry up and get it home." ”

Zhang Laohan thought about it carefully, don't say it, what this stupid boy said is really reasonable, and this place is still on the side of the road, so it will inevitably be remembered.

He immediately put down the hoe in his hand, took his pocket, and said, "Come on, come on, you can almost bag it and take it home, otherwise it will be taken away like you said." ”

Xiao Mu was triumphant, feeling that he was not useless, and that he still had the meaning of existence.

I filled two bags of sand, but I didn't fill them, they were only half a bag, and I found that I couldn't take them away at one time, almost half of them.

So Zhang Laohan said: "Hey, Xiao Mu, you are guarding here, I will send it back first, and then come back to pick it later." ”

No means of transportation is inconvenient, no matter what can only rely on manpower, time-consuming, inefficient, and tiring.

Xiao Mu was a little reluctant, and it was inevitable that he would be a little scared to guard alone, but there was no better way than this, and he couldn't refuse if he was unwilling.
