Seeing that he was about to dig home, just a hundred meters, Xiao Mu put down the hoe in his hand, and he really couldn't hold on, although it was only a few tens of meters.

Not to mention that Xiao Mu couldn't hold on, even the adult men were not as energetic as they were at the beginning, and the slightly cunning ones had already hid under the big trees to enjoy the shade, and there were only so many honest people who were still sweating.

At this time, the house was already full of smoke, and the old man had already started to work on everyone's meal tonight.

Xiao Mu lifted the hoe and said to Uncle Tao: "Uncle Tao, you are digging, I am going home, I can't do it." ”

Uncle Tao wanted to tease Xiao Mu, but at this time, he was also very tired and tired that he didn't want to speak, so he dispelled the idea, and as a result, he waved goodbye to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu, who returned home, threw away the hoe and couldn't wait to run to the kitchen to see what the old man was cooking.

But I didn't see a few dishes, that is, there were simple cabbage, bacon, and chicken, but there were a lot of them.

Xiao Mu was puzzled, shouldn't it be a big fish and a big meat in this case?

So he asked, "Grandma, why are there only so many dishes?" ”

The old man straightened his waist and said earnestly: "Oh, I spent a lot of money when I got sick half a month ago, and then I said that I would sell pigs, but people didn't come to buy them, so I didn't have money to buy vegetables, so I could only let them eat at will." ”

Xiao Mu didn't want to go out of the kitchen silently, and after washing his hands, he took a big bowl and walked into the hall.

Under the cupboard in the hall was a neat row of pickle jars, about six or seven, Xiao Mu carefully fished out a large bowl, walked to the kitchen and handed it to the old man.

"Here, you mix it with chili noodles and other condiments, this is another bowl of rice. ”

The old man raised his eyebrows and touched Xiao Mu's forehead, "Ouch, you kid is still smart, I didn't even think of this thing." ”

Xiao Mu had an idea, didn't there still pickled vegetables with pig's head meat and shredded radish at home?

So he said to the old man: "Grandma, isn't our shredded radish pickles also edible? Why don't you take them out and eat them?" ”

The old man was surprised, pinched Xiao Mu's chapped little face and said, "You're still a little smart, so we have a few dishes, I'll get it." ”

Xiao Mu felt a full sense of accomplishment, feeling that he was also a little adult, at least he could contribute to the family.

Just when Xiao Mu was triumphant, Zhao Laohan walked back with a hoe and his trouser legs.

Put down the hoe and said to Xiao Mu: "Xiao Mu, I'll help me go to Guo Yang's house to buy something later." ”

What do you buy, doesn't it mean that there is no money at home?

Xiao Mu's mind was full of question marks.

Zhang Laohan patted the dust on his body, took out the only fifty yuan left from his arms, handed it to Xiao Mu and said, "Come, go to Guo Yang's house to buy two cigarettes, and then get two catties of liquor." ”

I had already done a day's work, although I couldn't do much, but I was still tired, Xiao Mu was a little reluctant, and he didn't take the money from Zhang Laohan for a long time.

"Hurry up, what do you want!"

Seeing that Zhang Laohan was about to get angry, Xiao Mu took it and went to Guo Yang's house to buy something with a stomach twisted.

Xiao Mu, who used to buy things, would politely knock on the wooden door of Guo Yang's shop, but now he is familiar with Guo Yang and Guo Yang's whole family, and when he arrives at the door, he shouts, "Guo Yang, Guo Yang, come and sell me something." ”

Guo Yang didn't summon it, but he summoned Principal Guo.

Xiao Mu felt a little embarrassed.

Principal Guo opened the wooden door, "Naughty ghost, what do you want to buy?"

Xiao Mu said respectfully: "Principal Guo, I want two cigarettes and two catties of self-roasted wine." ”

Principal Guo didn't ask what cigarettes he wanted, and the people in the village bought more and naturally gave Xiao Mu the cigarettes that bought the most people, which was the most inferior.

He took the wine leak in his hand, and said to Xiao Mu while smashing wine into the bottle: "Can you eat so much tobacco and alcohol, or is there something going on at home?"

"Hmmm......"

"Isn't it my family's turn to dig a ditch today, and I have to entertain someone who helps. ”

Principal Guo suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, your family seems to be the last." ”

After a pause, he said: "Your family is too much of a loss, other people's families don't have to entertain people, and they don't have to pay for their own money, they are all poverty alleviation by the state, although your home is far away, but it's not so much, I really don't understand what people think." ”

And Xiao Mu was confused, to be honest, he couldn't understand what Principal Guo wanted to say.

So Xiao Mu diverted the topic, "What about Guo Yang, where did Guo Yang go." ”

"Ahem, what else can Guo Yang do in my house besides watching TV, I'm also watching TV inside at this time, do you want to come in and sit down?"

Xiao Mu still has the heart to stay and watch TV, he is almost hungry, besides, there are still so many people in the family waiting to take his things back.

"No, I have to go back, do you want to go to my house to play?"

Principal Guo naturally didn't agree, firstly, because he didn't help much, so it would damage his image like this, and secondly, he didn't want to deal with so many people.

After filling Xiao Mu with wine, he tied the two bottles together with a rope, handed them to Xiao Mu and said, "If you don't go, you can't drink them." ”

Xiao Mu said goodbye to Principal Guo very politely, and since it was still early, he walked in the direction of home while playing.

Birds on both sides of the road chirp and look for a place to rest at night.

And everyone has not yet completed the task, and is still working hard for the last ten meters, shouting loud slogans together and cheering each other on.

Xiao Mu walked past everyone, and the dust in the sky came to his face, so that Xiao Mu could only turn his head to avoid the ashes.

Zhang Laohan shouted at Xiao Mu: "I know that there is dust here, you won't come back from the road, it's okay now, it's all dust." ”

Xiao Mu, who was said by Zhang Laohan in front of everyone, did not show any unhappiness, but smirked at Zhang Laohan and said, "Hey, hey, the small road is close, and the big road is far away." ”

Zhang Laohan gritted his teeth, hating iron and not steel, but fortunately, Xiao Mu was still obedient, which could be regarded as a hint of comfort for Zhang Laohan.

Aromas wafted from the kitchen.

"Gollum"

Suddenly, the little belly that was not angry screamed.

Xiao Mu couldn't help but walk to the kitchen, stared at the boiling chicken soup in the pot and said, "Grandma, can I eat some first, I'm too hungry." ”

The old man looked at Xiao Mu with pity, and walked out of the kitchen to look at how many of them still hadn't finished digging.

"Okay, let's fill your stomach first, otherwise you'll be hungry, and you won't eat at noon. ”

Xiao Mu was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to pick up the dishes and chopsticks and hand them to the old man, asking the old man to help him scoop the rice and vegetables.

Scoop some golden chicken broth into the rice, not to mention how delicious it tastes.

Xiao Mu lifted the bowl and was about to walk out of the kitchen, when the old man shouted: "Come back, where are you going, just eat here, it's not good to be seen by others." ”

Then he said: "Eat more, it will be difficult to eat chicken in the future, our family is already exhausted." ”

Suddenly, the chicken in the bowl was not so fragrant.
