The rain outside the window was pouring down, and it didn't get any light, and the rain came down the next morning, because there were no stone slabs, and the village road was full of puddles, chaotic, invisible, and muddy, only the footprints were printed on it, and I don't know who started working so early; the dry paddy fields were also filled with water after a day and a night of rain, and occasionally a few wild ducks swam on them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoOur three little ones also got up very early today, especially Zhang Xiaochuan, who went to the small courtyard of the Xing family after breakfast and waited.

"Hurry up if you have food. Zhang Xiaochuan stood in the courtyard and urged.

Xing Youqian quickly pulled the sorghum and corn into his mouth, and he didn't even care about eating the pickles in front of him.

"Where are you going, wait for dinner and wash your clothes. Xiong Defen pointed to the large wooden basin with a diameter of about one meter outside, and said to Xing Youliang.

Xing Youliang raised his head and looked, my God, this clothes are going to be pushed to the sky, can it be washed in one day?

"There are too many clothes, and when I'm done eating, I'll take them to the river and wash them." ”

"I washed my clothes in the morning, and went to the back mountain in the afternoon to pick up some firewood, it rained for two days, and the firewood at home was burned, Xiaolan and Xiaomin, a few of you should go together, pick up more." Xiong Defen put a large chopsticks of green vegetables into Xing Guihua's bowl, and glanced at the children on the table below.

Xing Junmin almost squirted out the rice that he had just picked up in his mouth, how could there be anything about her, no, the road outside was so muddy that she didn't want to go, so she swallowed a large mouthful of rice in her mouth, walked to her grandmother's side, covered her mouth and whispered to Xiong Defen's ear:

"Grandma, yesterday I saw that they went to the fish basket with grain, and they will definitely go to get it later, why don't I go and get it in the afternoon, and they will go to collect firewood, right?"

Xiong Defen was happy after hearing this, and confirmed loudly to Xing Youliang:

"Grain, you went to the fish basket yesterday?"

"Well, yesterday we put the fish basket at home in Huaxi, and there were a lot of people who went, and I don't know how many we could catch?"

"Well, yes, it's quite sensible, I know that I haven't eaten meat at home for a long time, and I know how to go fishing in the river, and when you're done eating, you'll go and have a look, and by the way, I washed my clothes by the river, and Xiaolan and they went to collect firewood. ”

Xing Junmin almost didn't spit out a mouthful of black blood in his throat, at this moment he only felt that it was all the fault of the two brothers, his eyes widened, and he looked at the two brothers with hatred.

Xing Youliang looked at Xing Junmin's eyes a little inexplicably, he was going to tell his grandmother, why was it his fault, but Xing Youqian, as if he didn't feel it at all, only cared about eating, and almost buried his little face in the bowl.

After eating, Xing Youliang put Xing Youyou on his back and went out together, firstly, he was afraid that his little sister would not go out for many days, and secondly, he was worried that Xing Junmin would take revenge on his little sister. Carrying the three basins with dirty clothes, he walked to Huaxi, and before he heard the sound of the river, he first heard the sound of quarrels and crying, Zhang Xiaochuan thought that something was wrong and walked quickly to the river, but what he saw was Chen Tianba, a scoundrel, turned his head and said to the two behind:

"Chen Tianba came out to rob other people's things again, it's really annoying. ”

"We can't manage it if we want to, but fortunately, the place that Xiao Wu found for us is far away from here, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be there now. ”

"Hey, you are right, we are powerless, it would be good to take care of ourselves, let's go and see ours. ”

The three of them walked all the way up the river, came to the big stone of yesterday, took out the fish basket, the three fish baskets have been harvested, although there are no big fish, they are all small fish and shrimp, but it is good to be able to fish out of this almost captured flower stream, the small things in these three fish baskets add up to one or two catties.

"Hee-hee-hee, sister, we have fish to eat in the evening. Xing Youqian was so happy that he was about to jump up, holding his little sister and sitting on a stone on the shore, splashing with his bare feet.

"There is food, Xiao Wu has found us a good place, we have to send him some. Zhang Xiaochuan picked up a fish basket with a smile on his face.

"Well, you're right, we should bring him some, and we'll have to do the laundry here later, so you can bring him a basket. ”

"But I don't know where he lives?"

"No, he lived in that thatched hut on the mountainside. Xing Youliang put his arm on Zhang Xiaochuan's shoulder and pointed to the mountainside of the mountain behind Zhang Xiaochuan.

"Okay, wait until you hide these two fish baskets, otherwise you will be in trouble when you run into Chen Tianba, and I will come to help you wash your clothes after I finish sending them." ”

Xing Youliang opened his mouth and smiled, the bright sunlight refracted from the water surface of Huaxi to the two smiling faces, sparkling, time seemed to have slowed down, only bursts of laughter and the sound of lapping the stream.

Zhang Xiaochuan's body was weak, and when he climbed to the thatched hut that was not very far away, he was already out of breath, knocked on the door, but no one answered, but found that the door was not locked, and when he entered the house, he found that there was nothing in this palm-sized house, not even a bed, only a winter ragged clothes hanging on the wall.

"Aren't you at home? No, the sheep is still in the sheepfold?"

Seeing no one in sight, Zhang Xiaochuan walked to the door of the sheepfold again, but saw a man in tattered clothes lying in the corner of the sheepfold.

"Little Fifth Brother?"

Xiao Wu heard someone call him, opened his eyes, and saw that it was the child from yesterday, who walked out of the sheepfold and stood in front of Zhang Xiaochuan.

"We went to fetch the fish basket today, and we caught quite a few, and this basket is for you. As he spoke, Zhang Xiaochuan handed out the fish basket in his hand. But the other party didn't answer, Zhang Xiaochuan's hand just kept stretching out, and he didn't move, as if a century had passed, Zhang Xiaochuan entered his house embarrassedly, put the fish basket on the ground, turned around and walked away quickly.

By the river, when Xing Youyou was trying to put her little short paws into the fish basket to steal fish, Zhang Xiaochuan came back, his face was unnatural.

"What's the matter, why do you look weird?" Xing Youliang turned his head to look at him, rubbing the dirty clothes in his hands, and asked curiously.

"I'm weird? That 'dumb' is weird, and it's embarrassing for me. ”

"He's a little weird, but I think he's pretty good, he's not going to talk about him, come and help me do the laundry, I'll wash it alone until dark." ”
