Zhang Laohan frowned, the wrinkles on his forehead were compacted together, gritting his teeth and picking up the sand ash with difficulty, Xiao Mu looked very distressed.

Seeing it in his eyes, it hurts in his heart, and he really wants to help Zhang Laohan share some of the burden, but looking at himself who is powerless, everything can only be prohibited.

Xiao Mu sat in front of the sandbag, looking at Yu Yang in the distance, thinking about when he would be able to end everything, free himself from the shackles of money, when he would be able to be heartless, regardless of the words around him, everything was far away.

About an hour later, Zhang Laohan returned to Xiao Mu's side, because Xiao Mu was still guarding here, so he returned immediately after returning home, and did not dare to rest much.

He sat down on the ground, took out his cigarette stick, sighed, and said, "Oh, let's take a break, let's eat a cigarette first and go back." ”

It can be seen that Zhang Laohan is already very tired, with deep eyes, gray hair, and thin body, and Xiao Mu didn't notice all this until then.

"Grandpa, when I grow up, I will work hard to earn money to support you, so that you don't have to work and enjoy life. Xiao Mu said very naïve and serious.

Zhang Laohan had smoke in his nostrils, turned his head to stare at Xiao Mu and said, "I'm afraid you're not that capable, of course it's better to have that ability." ”

Xiao Mu patted his chest, puffed up his fists and said, "I can do it, don't worry." ”

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Xiao Mu naturally doesn't know how difficult it is during this period, and there is no enthusiasm.

Zhang Laohan naturally didn't take what the child said to heart, just let him be happy, but Xiao Mu has a filial piety is true, which makes Zhang Laohan feel extremely gratified.

Then Xiao Mu asked curiously: "Grandpa, how much does it cost to buy a car, I want to buy a car in the future." ”

The car seems to be something that every boy yearns for, although Xiao Mu has never even seen a car, but he has only heard of it.

And this is something that Zhang Laohan can't even imagine, let alone know the price, so Zhang Laohan made up a price and fooled Xiao Mu and said: "No matter how you say it, it will cost 100,000 yuan, don't even think about it." ”

Xiao Mu responded with a innocent smile: "Oh! Then it's not difficult, I'll have it when I grow up and struggle for a few years." ”

Then he looked into the distance, thinking that his heart was too big, he couldn't even eat, and he still felt that he could have everything, it was just a fool's dream, and he couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Laohan looked at Xiao Mu and couldn't help but tell Xiao Mu the true story.

"Xiao Mu, don't think about those things first, think about something practical, go to school hard, and it's good to go back to the village to teach after graduation. ”

At that time, the requirements for teachers were very low, and several teachers in the village were teaching after graduating from primary and junior high schools, and the highest education belonged to Principal Guo, who graduated from a secondary school normal school.

Zhang Laohan told the story of Principal Guo to Xiao Mu.

"Look at Principal Guo, he has no father since he was a child, he lives with his mother, and when he goes to school, he carries his books, whether he works in the field or herds cattle, he never leaves his books all day long, and he will take them out to read whenever he has time. ”

At that time, Xiao Mu was indeed very inspirational when he heard it, after all, he had never done it before.

"You see, isn't Principal Guo's life very good now? With a career, a family, and no worries about food and clothing, where is it like we worry about this and that all day long. ”

Although Xiao Mu was deeply touched when he heard it, he never thought about teaching and educating people and becoming a people's teacher, because he wanted too much at present, and he only wanted to make a lot of money.

Maybe it's because I'm still a child, and I'm not deeply involved in the world, so I can't understand the so-called society at all.

Zhang Laohan took the last puff of his cigarette, slammed the pipe on the hoe handle, knocked out the unburned tobacco leaves, blew the ash and put it back into the cigarette pouch.

"Let's go, let's go home, it's going to be dark if you don't go back. ”

Zhang Laohan once again struggled to pick up the heavy sandbag, while Xiao Muye followed behind Zhang Laohan with a hoe.

Stopping and stopping along the way, he rested more than three times, it seems that Zhang Laohan is really old, and his physical strength is very unable to keep up.

Xiao Mu, who returned home, put down the hoe, poured a glass of water for Zhang Laohan very sensibly, handed it to Zhang Laohan and said, "Grandpa, you should drink saliva, you should be thirsty." ”

Zhang Laohan gently took the water cup, looked at Xiao Mu in surprise, and felt that Xiao Mu was a little abnormal today, isn't there something wrong?

Xiao Mu didn't stop to rest, and walked directly to the firewood room after handing water to Zhang Laohan.

Making a fire to cook was already practice makes perfect for him at that time, and it was a piece of cake, so he picked up some firewood from the firewood room and went to make a fire to cook.

When Zhang Laohan saw it, he said, "Yo, the sun is coming out in the west, and he will take the initiative to make a fire to cook." ”

Xiao Mu didn't smile, but said seriously like an adult: "Cough, it doesn't depend on how tired you are, it's good to help you cook and share something." ”

It seems that Xiao Mu has really grown up, and he has learned to take the initiative to share something for the sake of others.

Zhang Laohan smiled from his heart, looked at Xiao Mu who was washing rice and said, "Yes, yes, this is what a good child should look like." ”

After scooping up the rice, Xiao Mu squatted on the edge of the fire, supporting his chin with both hands.

The fiery red light reflected on the translucent face, and the warmth came.

Xiao Mu felt a little tired and drowsy.

When the rice was dry, Xiao Mu got up and walked to Zhang Laohan's side, "Grandpa, I'm a little sleepy and want to go to sleep." ”

Zhang Laohan looked up at Xiao Mu, his eyelids seemed to be very heavy and lifeless.

"Go ahead, let's go, I see that you are also tired, and I will call you when the dishes are ready." ”

Xiao Mu returned to the room, fell asleep, and woke up in the evening.

Why didn't Zhang Laohan call himself? Xiao Mu felt that this was unreasonable, and got up and ran to the kitchen.

But I didn't see anyone, I ran to Zhang Laohan's room to look for it, and I searched all over the neighborhood, but I still didn't find it.

This made Xiao Mu feel complicated, I don't know what to do, Wan Rong hasn't come back yet, what can be done.

Just when I was anxious, there was a burst of scolding from the back mountain, and I didn't hear whose voice it was, and I didn't hear what I was scolding specifically.

This made Xiao Mu feel even more frightened.

"Whoosh~"

A gust of wind blew, and the fallen leaves fluttered in the wind.

Xiao Mu immediately turned around and ran back to the house, closed the door, leaned against the door and gasped.

Thinking that this could not be a monster, Zhang Laohan disappeared inexplicably, Wan Rong and Lao Fu did not come back, and the voice of the back mountain ......

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and the more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and my whole body broke out in a cold sweat, and my legs were weak.

Plugging in the door pin, he ran back to the room and got into the quilt, covering himself tightly with the quilt, and didn't even dare to turn on the light.

I complained in my heart, damn it, why didn't I hold on for a while just now, why did I just sleep, now it's okay, Zhang Laohan doesn't know where to go.
