"Ouch, Xiuxiu, you can go back first, you still don't worry about doing things, uncle?" A middle-aged man's voice came from under the ramp.

Zhong Xiu smiled and said: "Uncle is sure that I can rest assured, it's not okay for me?" Just take a look here, uncle, if you are thirsty, tell me, I will pour water for you." ”

"You big girl, basking in this sun, be careful that the tanning you get, you won't be able to get married when the time comes. It was still the middle-aged man's voice.

"I'm already dark, and if I can't get married, I can't get married. Zhong Xiu didn't mind the man's joke, he was used to saying this, his slender fingers swiped down the slope, and said, "Uncle, there is a ramp to be built in the middle, don't forget." ”

"Ouch, I can't forget, my bell clerk. The middle-aged man replied helplessly, "Clerk, you hurry up and go in and do your business, don't watch here." ”

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it, I'll wait a while. Zhong Xiu hurriedly said good things, leaning against the tree and smiling.

Geng Hao happened to walk in front of Principal Huang, and Principal Huang told Geng Hao that he was building a road today, and he was finally going to start repairing this harmful road. Geng Hao walked to the entrance of the ramp, and sure enough, he saw two men below, one young man was mixing cement, and the other middle-aged man was cleaning the ramp. Principal Huang saw that this road was going to be repaired, and his face was full of smiles: "Xiuxiu, when will the road over there be repaired?"

"I'll fix that side when I'm done here. Xiuxiu replied with a smile on her face, "When school starts in two days, the baby in the village will be able to walk on the cement slope." ”

"Hey, yes, that's good. Principal Huang said, waved his hand to Geng Hao, and happily went down the slope from the side, trying not to affect the construction of the people below. ”

The middle-aged man grinned and replied to Principal Huang: "No hard work, no hard work." ”

Geng Hao looked at Principal Huang with his hands behind his back, walking a lot briskly, and secretly said that this is really called nothing and light, and it seems that everything to be solved has been solved. Seeing Principal Huang go away, Geng Hao didn't rush back, and first said a few words to Zhong Xiu, who he hadn't seen for a few days. Her appearance is indeed a lot darker, not to mention, she must have been tossing up and down the mountain and river all day long, and she still has a big scar on her knee, which was caused by the last fall.

"The village committee's actions were really fast, and the road was repaired. ”

Zhong Xiu pulled out a smile inexplicably: "It's quite fast, and I can finally fix it." ”

In order to build the steps here, she saw the village party secretary and the village director every day, and asked every day what was going on with the road ahead, and the two of them kept saying that they were doing it.

At first, there was an idea to pay attention to this matter, saying that it was to move some big stones from the river and the mountains to pave them. Zhong Xiu felt that it was inappropriate after hearing this, saying that the soil slope was relatively loose, and the stones were easy to loosen, and when the heavy rain rushed over, the stones rolled to the side of the road and might be able to hit people.

The village party secretary and director retorted, saying that laying cement costs money to buy materials, which is another expense, and now the village can save some money, and said that Zhong Xiu herself is the clerk, and she is in charge of the village's finances, and she couldn't be clearer about these things. Zhong Xiu couldn't, so he could only follow their wishes and agree to press out a step with a stone first, at least it was a stable one, much better than an earth step, wasn't it?

But later, when the branch secretary and director were busy, they forgot about it again. It happened that they were worried about raising pigs, and Zhong Xiu urged them again, but they were annoyed, and directly told Zhong Xiu to ask her to find someone to arrange, and the matter would be handed over to her. Zhong Xiu listened to the two of them, and took over the task without saying a word. Later, she thought that she was in charge of this matter, so she had to do her best, or try to lay cement. She couldn't spend money, so she went to play the favor card, first asking whose family was building a house. Coincidentally, she asked for one, and it was about to be completed.

The family's surname is Li, and she is also familiar with it, because the Li family's son Li Jinde is her junior high school classmate and is still at the same table. Li Jinde didn't study very well, and his family didn't have much money, after graduating from junior high school, he went to work in other places, and he went home once a year or two, Zhong Xiu hadn't seen him for a long time, and I heard that he was doing well. This time, the Li family built a house to build a new house for Li Jinde, in order to let him say that his daughter-in-law would use it. When Zhong Xiu went, Li Jinde happened to return to the village from other places, so Zhong Xiu went directly to Li Jinde, because he was an old classmate and spoke directly. After Li Jinde listened, without hesitation, he directly told Zhong Xiu to pull as much as he wanted.

No, Zhong Xiu pulled it back, and invited Zhong Yunguo, a father and son who have been working on the construction site all year round, to repair it.

Geng Hao admired Zhong Xiu's efficiency. It happened that Director Mo came back and saw that the road was really being repaired, or a cement road, and laughed and praised Zhongxiu: "I heard that the village committee is building a road and still don't believe it, hurry up and take a look." Are you really arranged?"

Zhong Xiu raised his head proudly and said with a smile: "That's not it, I almost fell again when it rained last time, this leg is just right, so I don't want the other leg to fall too." ”

"Okay, get things done. Director Mo pretended not to understand the complaints in Zhong Xiu's words, and swiped his fingers at Zhong Xiu and Geng Hao, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut, "Young people are enthusiastic, they can do everything quickly, they are much better than us, we are really old." ”

"How old are you to call old?" Zhong Xiu didn't bother to answer him.

"It's not okay to be old. Director Mo walked to the hall of the village committee as he spoke, Zhong Xiu waved his hand to Geng Hao, and followed. Geng Hao heard Director Mo ask Zhong Xiu meaningfully, "I heard that these cement materials were given to you by the son of the Li family?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Zhong Xiu replied frankly.

"Didn't that kid treat you well before? this time he promised to send you so easily......" Director Mo quietly lowered his voice, his eyes full of gossip.

"This is not for me, this is for our village. This is a good deed for our village. Uncle, don't think about what you don't have all day long, if you have this time, you might as well go and see how the pigs raised by everyone are. Zhong Xiu's eyes didn't want to be on Director Mo, and he took a few steps faster into the village hall.

"Uncle, this is also for your good, if you don't tell your uncle, your eldest sister will have to ask you when you go back. Director Mo put his hands behind his back and entered the hall nonchalantly. Zhong Xiu didn't tell him about this, he would know from Zhong Ling tomorrow, and he had to hide it, it seemed that something was really wrong!

Sure enough, when Zhong Xiu went back in the evening, Zhong Ling began to be busy with this topic at the dinner table.

"Xiu, eldest sister heard that Li Jinde is back?"

Zhong Xiu's head hurt, and he snorted: "Well, I'm back." ”

"Which Li Jinde?" Huang Jiujiu took two mouthfuls of rice and looked up and asked.

Zhong Lingxi explained to her daughter: "It's your aunt's junior high school classmate, the son of the family who lives at the entrance of our village, and he came to see you when you were born." ”

This said that when it came to birth, Huang Jiujiu didn't know it anymore, and said that he knew, and then asked: "Does he like his aunt?" As soon as Huang Jiujiu saw Zhong Ling's expression, he knew that his mother was going to match his aunt and that man, because her current expression was exactly the same as the expression she had when she looked at Geng Hao, and it was also exactly the same as the expression she had when she told Zhong Xiu about those blind dates. Huang Jiujiu is still rejoicing, glad that her teacher Geng has a girlfriend and will not be with her aunt, and she doesn't have to live a miserable life where she can meet her teacher even when she goes home.

"I like it, I like it. I used to play with your aunt all the time. The more Zhong Ling spoke, the more excited he became, and he found that he had to tell the person concerned about this kind of thing, what was the use of telling Huang Jiujiu for a long time? ”

Zhong Xiu directly poured cold water: "People have girlfriends, and they are beautiful." The house built here is the house where the two of them got married. Li Jinde chatted with her at the time, and happily took out a photo of his girlfriend to show off to Zhong Xiu, and then said that he came back to see how the house was built, and when the decoration was finished, he would bring his girlfriend back.

"Again?" Zhong Ling frowned, when she inquired, she clearly said that she didn't have a girlfriend, but a golden bachelor, why did this change?"

Zhong Xiu stared at Zhong Ling's lost and disbelieving eyes, silently calculated his age again, and thought about how he had tormented his eldest sister for so many years. Why did she always think about throwing her into someone else's house? When she came back from graduation, she was looking at her to find a partner to marry. finally stopped a while ago, and after knowing that Geng Hao really had a partner, he began to find a partner for her in person. Zhong Xiu once thought that her eldest sister was still too idle!

"Eldest sister, don't ask all day long, I'm really not in a hurry now. If you think I'm an eyesore at home, I'll move out. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Xiu regretted it a little, knowing that he had gone too far with this joke. Sure enough, there was a heavy sound of putting chopsticks in his ears, and when he quietly looked up, he saw Zhong Ling's face serious, and his eyes were full of injuries. Zhong Xiu hurriedly apologized: "Eldest sister, I didn't mean that." ”

"Xiuxiu, the eldest sister raised you so much, when did you say anything about you? Or do you blame the eldest sister for taking too much care of you, and you want to move out a long time ago?"

"Eldest sister, I didn't mean that. ”

"If you want to move out, you can move if you can. The eldest sister will not be verbose in the future. Zhong Ling said, picked up the chopsticks again, and continued to eat sulkingly.

Zhong Xiu felt very guilty, and silently lowered his head to eat again.

After eating, Zhong Ling directly put away the table, and didn't let Zhong Xiu touch it, and the two of them didn't speak until they went to bed at night.

When it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, Huang Lin came back, Zhong Ling sat on the bed, wiped his tears and told Huang Lin about the dinner table, saying whether he was too annoying, and whether Xiuxiu was annoying to her when she grew up. chattered and was a little angry and chilling, saying that if Xiuxiu really had stiff wings and disliked her as the eldest sister, then she should have raised a white-eyed wolf, as if she had never raised such a sister.
