"I've been learning oil painting since I was a child, but now I haven't practiced it for a long time, and I've regressed a lot. If my teacher saw me drawing like this, he would have scolded me severely. Annan finished the last stroke, took two steps back with the chalk in his hand, looked up at the blackboard drawing he had just drawn, and said with his back to DingTalk.

DingTalk couldn't see his expression, walked a few steps towards him, looked at the illustration carefully, and said in a firm tone: "Anyway, in the eyes of a layman like me, you are already very good at drawing." Even if I were to give me an original picture of "The Little Prince" for me to copy, I don't think I would be able to draw it as well as you. ”

"You have a specialization in the art industry, and you must be better than me in some aspect. Annan said disapprerovingly.

Annan then made a shooting motion, and the chalk tip in his hand drew a perfect parabola in the air, and finally landed in the trash can in the corner with unmistakable accuracy.

"However, there are so many illustrations in "The Little Prince", I suggest that I change it, there should be no sadness in the world of children. Looking at the little prince who was leaving, DingTalk was a little emotional, and seriously suggested.

"Because their world is simple, it must be different from what you see. In their eyes, it's just a nice blackboard drawing. Annan turned his head to look at DingTalk, the expression on his face returned to his usual free and easy, and the sad silhouette just now seemed to be just an illusion of DingTalk.

I don't know if it's because they all learned to paint, when DingTalk looked at Annan, he felt a little bit like talking about Zige, but sometimes he felt that they were two completely different people.

"Hey, come back to your soul!" Seeing DingTalk staring at him stunned, Annan waved his hand in front of her and reminded her: "If you look at me like this again, I'm going to misunderstand." ”

It is extremely impolite to look at others like this, if someone said this before, DingTalk must have felt very embarrassed, but the object is Annan, and she is thick-skinned.

Although they have only been together for a few days, perhaps because they are all fallen from the end of the world, or perhaps because Annan knows nothing about her past, DingTalk actually has a feeling of sympathy.

"What is the misunderstanding?" DingTalk asked deliberately rhetorically.

Annan stiffened his face and said solemnly: "Of course I misunderstood that you like me, don't you know that Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang are secretly thinking about how to match us? ”

"You really bully me for not seeing a good-looking man?" DingTalk held back a smile, pointed to Annan's handsome face, and teased.

Whether it is Lin Zifeng or Tan Zige, they are much better looking than Annan.

"Good-looking men can't be trusted, and what I can rely on like this is the best in the world. Annan raised his eyebrows, looking quite narcissistic, and then changed his words and said to DingTalk: "Okay, no kidding." Just now, Xiaofan told me that the vegetables in her field are growing well, and her mother told us to pick them. It just so happened that the beans sent by Uncle Huang yesterday were also eaten, and I can exchange them for some fresh ones today. ”

Xiao Fan is the eldest girl among the twelve children, she is twelve years old this year, and she will go to the next county to attend junior high school in the next county when the new semester starts in a few days.

But because she likes Annan very much, she stays here for classes during the summer vacation, and helps with other children by the way.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, Xiaofan's father has been working in other places, and his mother stays at home to take care of her and her elderly grandmother, so Xiaofan has been very sensible since he was a child.

DingTalk's impression of her is that of a very thin child, with a little dark skin, but she can see that she is very precocious from her eyes. is usually very well-behaved and obedient, so DingTalk likes her very much.

As soon as he heard that he could stop eating beans, DingTalk nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Okay, I've already eaten several fried beans, and I'm a little tired." ”

Seeing DingTalk hear the way Qingcai's eyes lit up, Annan couldn't help laughing, he really couldn't connect her with the eldest lady who was dressed luxuriously a few days ago.

After the two locked the classroom, they went to Xiao Fan's house together, Xiao Fan's mother was washing clothes in the yard, and when she saw Annan and DingTalk coming, she hurriedly stood up and wiped her hands on her apron, and greeted warmly: "Teacher Xiao An, Teacher Xiao Lin, you are here." I thought that Xiaofan, this kid was forgetful, so he didn't call you to pick vegetables. ”

"She told me early in the morning, but she happened to have something to do, so she came late. Annan explained.

"Teacher Xiao An, Teacher Xiao Lin!" At this time, Xiao Fan in the house saw the two of them coming, and ran out of the house excitedly.

"I haven't finished washing my clothes yet, the vegetable garden is at the back of the house, let Xiaofan take you to pick them. Pick a little more, anyway, it's all home-eaten, and I'm not going to sell it, I'll let Xiaofan help you send it back later. "Xiaofan's mother has never been out of the mountains in her life, so she has special respect for scholars.

"Sister-in-law, you're too polite. DingTalk said embarrassedly.

"What kind of politeness is this, the vegetables are planted for people to eat. Xiaofan, hurry up and take your teacher there. Xiaofan's mother patted Xiaofan and asked her to take the two of them to pick vegetables.

Xiaofan's vegetable garden is behind her house, and she just turned a corner when she went out.

There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains, and the sun has just set halfway, and the weather is not so hot. Looking at the green patch, it makes people feel very comfortable.

It is said that only green vegetables are picked, but Xiaofan puts tomatoes, amaranth, and cowpeas...... I picked some of the ripe ones.

It was the first time I had seen vegetables growing in the soil, and I couldn't help but feel novel, and I wanted to pick some by myself.

As soon as she squatted down and picked it for a while, she felt sweat on her face and itched, and subconsciously reached out to wipe it, but she heard Annan, who was squatting opposite her, laughing out loud.

I don't know what happened, which made Annan feel so funny, DingTalk held the vegetables in both hands, raised his head and looked at him in confusion.

Annan smiled and pointed to her face, puzzled, put down the green vegetables in his hand and wiped them with his hand.

Still Xiaofan couldn't stand it anymore, so he reminded DingTalk: "Teacher Xiaolin, your face is stained with dirt." ”

Finally knew why Annan was laughing, it turned out that he was laughing at himself, DingTalk couldn't help but glare at him, and said unhappily: "You are still laughing!"

"Who called you so stupid. Although Annan was still laughing at DingTalk in his mouth, the person had already stood up, took some water to wet the corners of his clothes, and squatted in front of DingTalk to wipe her face: "There is no tissue now, you better take it for a while, Miss." ”

Except for Lin Zifeng and Tan Zige, DingTalk is a little repulsive to other men's contact. So when Annan pulled the corner of his clothes and wanted to wipe her face, Dingding's head subconsciously fell back.

Feeling the dodge of the nails, Annan pressed her head without pity, wiped her face dry with her clothes, and joked in his mouth: "Don't be stunned by the smell of my sweat......"

It was so far away that DingTalk couldn't smell him at all.

Knowing that he didn't want to make himself look embarrassed, DingTalk was grateful, so he was not so hypocritical.

"It's stinky!" DingTalk joked.

After picking for half an hour, the three of them picked three baskets of vegetables.

Annan took two blues, and originally wanted to take the remaining basket of nails for himself, but Xiaofan must refuse, saying that he would help them send them back.

DingTalk couldn't help her, so he asked her to help take it home together.

When I got back to where I was staying, it was almost six o'clock.

DingTalk left Xiaofan to eat together, Xiaofan happened to like being with them very much, so he happily agreed.

After washing the dishes, Xiao Fan watched Annan walk to the stove, and couldn't help but wonder: "Teacher Xiaolin, don't you cook? In my house, women cook." ”

No matter how early he is, after all, he is still a child, and his living environment is simple, so he immediately asked what he thought of.

Speaking of cooking, DingTalk laughed dryly twice, touched Xiaofan's head and said, "Your teacher Xiao'an likes to cook, we can't deprive him of his hobby, right?"

"So that's the case!" Xiao Fan suddenly realized, turned his head and shouted to Annan: "Teacher Xiao An, it turns out that you like cooking so much. ”

Hearing that DingTalk was talking nonsense with Xiaofan, Annan in front of the stove glanced at DingTalk meaningfully, and said meaningfully: "Yes, I like to cook." ”

In fact, two days before I arrived here, DingTalk also wanted to help Annan cook, after all, she was also a woman in the kitchen in the past. But the cooking utensils here are so different from those in the city, DingTalk can't even make a fire, and it's easy to fry scorched vegetables, and after failing twice, Annan gave up the idea of letting her cook.

Of course, there is another important reason for this, that is, because Annan's cooking skills are too strong, DingTalk is compared to every minute.

Half an hour later, three dishes and one soup were out of the pot.

Because there is no restaurant, both DingTalk and Annan will move a small table to the open space in front of the house to eat.

DingTalk gave Xiao Fan a bowl of rice and handed it to her: "Now is the time for you to grow your body, you must eat more, and when your body is better, you can continue to study hard." ”

"You're talking more and more like a teacher now. It's just that the hair is too short, and I look angry without a book. Seeing that Dingding looked like a teacher, Annan took a bite of food and said.

"I'm a teacher, and my hair is short. "DingTalk is right.

The two were fighting happily, but Xiao Fan on the side put down the rice bowl in his hand, lowered his head and said unhappily: "But I will go to school somewhere else in a few days, and it will take seven or eight hours to walk from us, and I shouldn't be back for a long time, but I don't want to leave you." ”

It can be seen that Xiaofan is an emotional child, and it is really not easy for a girl to leave home to study alone.

The two looked at each other tacitly, DingTalk gave Xiao Fan a chopstick dish, and comforted her: "It's only seven or eight hours, and it's not like I'll never come back." When you're on vacation, you can still come back and see us. Besides, when you're older, it's time to go out into the world and see it. ”

"Teacher Xiaolin, is the outside world very good? I have only read it in books, but I never know what it looks like outside? Are the people there as good as you and Teacher Xiao An?"
