Hearing Tao Xueming pay the money, the stepmother's cold face softened a little.

She glanced at Cai'e and said lightly: "I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth, and girls will get married sooner or later." ”

"Forget it this year, after the Chinese New Year, Mom is looking for a good family for you. ”

Tao Xueming exhaled lightly, after the New Year, let's talk about the New Year, let's get through this year first.

"Go out and peel the corn. ”

Tao Xueming walked out with Cai'e, sat down, and peeled corn husks together.

"Brother, thank you......"

Cai'e said in a very low voice.

Tao Xueming snorted.

Cai'e glanced at him secretly, and then quickly lowered her head again.

After two days at home, Tao Xueming peeled all the corn, and then his hands were swollen.

After that, he went to the field again to sow seeds, and it was time to plant wheat.

Then it is necessary to water the ground again.

After a while, it is necessary to fertilize.

In the village, this kind of work is a lot, and it is impossible to do it at all.

After a few days, Tao Xueming was still tanned, and in the mirror, he looked like he had come out of a coal mine.

……

After a week passed, Tao Xueming left and went to the county seat.

Since Bao Zhipeng left, several stores in the county town have been handed over to Chunchun, and the three brothers Ren Qiang have watched.

It's all right.

"Brother Tao Zi, when will Brother Zhipeng come back, the big guys miss him very much. ”

Chunchun asked.

Tao Xueming shrugged, how did he know when that kid would come back, and there was no news after walking for so long.

But the calculation time is also fast, and the money is spent, and the people will definitely come back.

"Brother Tao Zi, you're here. ”

Ren Qiang walked in happily and threw him a bottle of soda.

Tao Xueming took two sips of soda and asked, "How is the store, is there anyone making trouble?" ”

"No, yes. ”

Ren Qiang grinned and said: "Uncle Tie Jun takes care of us here very much, come and ask the brothers to drink some wine if you have nothing to do, who dares to make trouble." ”

"The supermarket also sells well, it is full every day, and the goods are sold out every day. ”

Tao Xueming nodded, that's good, it seems that Wang Tiejun, who worships him, is still righteous and knows how to take care of here.

"Brother Tao Zi, are you planning to expand recently? Ren Qiang asked: "The game hall business is very hot, and there are often queues, so I think it's better to open one." ”

Tao Xueming groaned, with the increase in the foreign population, it seems that there is no big problem in getting a game hall.

If you're doing it, it's going to be a little smaller than that.

"Ren Qiang, I'll leave the matter of the new store to you, how much money is needed, report it from Chunchun. ”

"No problem. Ren Qiang said excitedly: "Thank you boss for trusting me so much, I will definitely get it right." ”

Tao Xueming breathed a sigh in his heart, he didn't believe you, there was really no one to use it, so he could only find you to make up for it first.

However, Ren Qiang also has experience, and it shouldn't be difficult to open a game hall.

"Ahem, boss, there's someone out there looking for you. ”

Ren Qiang smiled and walked away.

Tao Xueming turned his head and saw his classmate, Tong Tong wandering outside, he immediately walked over and waved hello.

"You're really back. Tong Tong said with a smile on his face.

"Not long after you came back, you didn't have class today?"

"It's a holiday today. ”

Tao Xueming sweated, yes, today is a holiday, how long has he not been to school, he has forgotten about it.

"Are you busy, do you want to go up the mountain together?"

Tong Tong smiled and said, "A lot of classmates are here, the big guy is discussing, camp in the mountains tonight, catch some game to eat." ”

Tao Xueming hesitated, if he went today, it would be fine.

"Okay, I'll go back and clean up, you wait for me. ”

He turned and went back to the house, and got some tools, and matches, which he would surely be able to use when he went up the mountain.

After that, he followed Tong Tong to the mountain.

When he came to the bottom of the mountain, he saw many people who were about his age, all standing here waiting.

Tao Xueming didn't know these people, and these people naturally didn't know him, Tong Tong became the middleman and took the lead.

They are all a group of children, energetic, jumping up and down, and having fun.

After climbing to a height of 100 meters, many children went around looking for wild fruits to eat.

Tao Xueming took a shovel, found a vacant place to dig a pit, threw a few matches into it, and someone began to roast corn kernels.

After the corn kernels are baked, stuff a handful into your mouth and crunchy.

"I've caught a big snake, and I'm ready to eat meat. ”

Two or three children ran back with shouts of joy, beat the snake to death with sticks, skinned it, washed it, and roasted it on a fire rack.

After a while, some more caught a hare, and another caught a pheasant.

These children are very hands-on, they can do anything, and when they are killed, they will be handed over to Tao Xueming for roasting.

"Bunny is so cute, how can you eat it. ”

Tao Xueming muttered in his mouth, then put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and took a bite.

Hey, it's so fragrant, it tastes very good.

"I found wild fruit, and it was sweet. ”

A few children came back with a bag of wild fruits, and everyone shared them.

"Brother Tao Zi, I brought milk, do you want to drink some. ”

Tong Tong sat down in front of him and handed over a white bag with a grin.

Tao Xueming hadn't drunk this thing for a long time, so he picked it up and drank it.

"Huh. ”

The children around looked at them and sighed, Tong Tong instantly blushed, got up and went to play.

"Come on, I've found a pig, a big pig!"

In the distance, a child exclaimed, and the people here immediately ran over.

Tao Xueming also ran over and saw a thin child, holding a wooden stick, driving away a wild boar.

This wild boar weighs at least 300 catties and is very large.

When the wild boar was enraged, its huge size began to scurry around in the woods, constantly colliding.

"Flash away. ”

Tao Xueming immediately pulled the child to reach out to hide, and the angry wild boar hit him directly.

The children screamed in fright and scattered and ran away.

When several girls fled, they accidentally tripped under their feet, and four or five people fell to the ground at the same time.

Tong Tong was among them, still dressed in red, and the wild boar snorted and rushed towards it.

Several girls, frightened and white, froze in place and didn't know what to do.

Tao Xueming scolded secretly, he immediately picked up the wooden stick on the ground and shouted: "Here, look here." ”

He shouted as he poked the boar with his stick, frantically probing.

The boar was attracted to him and quickly shifted his target, and the boar ran towards him with a snort.

A body of several hundred catties, running, the ground shook the mountains.

Tao Xueming was also frightened enough, and hurriedly dodged.

However, he still underestimated the reaction power of the wild boar, and the wild boar's nose hit his father and son's mountain, his head raised, and Tao Xueming flew seven or eight meters away.

In the end, Tao Xueming rolled down the hillside, slammed his head on the stone, and fell unconscious on the spot.

After the boar hit him, he turned around and ran away.

The children were panicked and didn't know what to do.

If Tao Xueming was awake, he would definitely shout: "Hurry up and save people, Lao Tzu can still save it!"

……

Inside the hospital.

Tao Xueming woke up after being in a coma for two days.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiang Yuhang, his classmates, Teacher Zhou Xiaoqiang, and a large number of other friends all here.

"You're finally awake, and it doesn't hurt. ”

Li Cuicui hurriedly asked.

"I, I...... In the hospital?"

Tao Xueming scratched his head.

"Of course you're in the hospital, you're scared to death. ”

Li Cuicui said with palpitations: "The doctor said that you were hit by a wild boar and broke five ribs, and you had several fractures all over your body, and you almost lost your life on the mountain." ”

Tao Xueming hissed a breath of cold air, is it that serious.

He lifted up his clothes and saw that his hands were in a plaster cast, his legs were still bandaged, and he had a scarf on his head.

"Taozi, you are really stupid, how can you use your body to block a wild boar, that thing can kill a cow. ”

Zhou Xiaoqiang said reproachfully.

Tao Xueming smiled bitterly, do you think I want to, it's not for the hero to save the beauty, who would have thought that he was unlucky and was injured.

"Is anyone else okay?"

"It's all right, now go home, just lie here. ”

Xiang Yuhang looked at him with red eyes and said, "Brother Tao Zi, I almost thought you were gone, and I started to contact the crematorium." ”
