"I'm sorry, I can't help." Without waiting for the sparrow to say what the reward was, Tang Tang categorically refused.

The sparrow's eyes widened with a small round chirping, and his face was full of disbelief, never expecting the boat of friendship to capsize. "How can you be so ruthless and vexatious?"

"They're still alive?" Tang Tang asked. According to her thoughts, the hunter only came down once a month, how could he catch a bag of live sparrows to sell, most of them were already dead.

Sure enough, I saw the sparrows looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and their whole bodies were filled with a melancholy atmosphere, and they replied: "Their souls have returned to the blue sky, but I must take back their **!" ”

Tang Tang: "......"

"I support you, come on!" She was holding a hoe, the sweat on her forehead, but there was a smile in her eyes, so that when the sparrow saw it, she immediately "chirped" sadly and angrily, flapped her wings and flew away.

Tang Tang shouted behind it: "Help bring a message to Mao Mao and Lao Sha, I have something to do with them." ”

"Can't hear it, can't hear it—" The sparrow flew forward with his head down, deliberately trying to her off.

Tang Tang was not annoyed, he rested for a while with a smile, drank some water, and continued to swing his hoe to turn over the ground. Although this field has been roughly turned over by Wang Min and Sun Shuping, but digging east and west, the whole land is full of holes, and it has not been turned to the end at all.

Although she had no experience in plowing the fields of an old farmer, when she was in the city in her previous life, she had also planted a small vegetable field in the vacant land downstairs of her house, and she knew that such a perfunctory ploughing of the fields would not help at all. So, I tried to turn it over again. It's a lot of trouble like this, but thinking that the harvest will not be wasted, Tang Tang calmed down.

By the time she walked to the canteen with a hoe at noon, the shade of the trees on the edge of the ridge was already full of resting villagers. They sat together in twos and threes, and the family brought the food in baskets early, and although it was only black flour cakes and fried pickles, they still ate with relish.

Tang Tang greeted a few familiar people with a smile and walked towards the cafeteria.

Unlike these local villagers, who share their rations to earn their labor, young people like Tang Tang who went to the countryside from the city have their rations directly allocated to the forest farm by their superiors. Since the girls had never lived in the countryside before and could not even make a fire to cook, they handed over their rations to the canteen of the forest farm to provide them with three meals a day. Although you can't see oil, water and fine grains, you can at least eat a mouthful of hot rice at a regular time.

When she walked into the cafeteria, there were only a few young men sitting in a group. Most of them were not very old, and they all ran out of their hometowns for a bite to eat, climbed into the car recruited by the forest farm, and did hard work in the forest team at the other end of the forest farm.

Tang Tang sat down after finishing the meal, and as soon as he broke open the hard sweet potato noodle cake and took a bite, he saw a tall figure striding in.

She was stunned, her mouth suddenly choked, and she subconsciously lowered her head, turned her body slightly sideways, and sat facing the wall, blocking her face.

"Uncle Jianguo, I'm here, I don't know if I can beg for hot soup?" A calm and magnetic voice passed behind Tang Tang, making her can't help but quietly hold her breath.

"Hey, what's polite, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The chef of the cafeteria scolded with a smile, took out a small pot of hot soup from the cauldron, and put it in front of him. The surface of the soup is sprinkled with green onions, and a unique aroma instantly spreads in the air, arousing people's appetite.

There is the one with a sensitive nose, and immediately smells the source of the fragrance.

"Ha, it's lard!"

"I also put a small cap of soy sauce!"

Everyone immediately cast their eyes enviously, and some even said sourly: "Uncle Jianguo, you are not kind, blatantly opening a small stove for your own family." ”

"Hey, you bunnies, which meal did you eat less or drink less?" Niu Jianguo was stunned, and said angrily at the crooked people, "Changlin has never come empty-handed to eat and drink for nothing, when did he not come here with pheasants and hares?" If you also have this ability, I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food every day! ”

Niu Jianguo's phone call made the faces of those people a little unbearable, and they immediately got up and left.

"Humph!" Niu Jianguo snorted and snorted coldly at their backs.

Xu Changlin couldn't help but smile and comforted: "Uncle Jianguo, don't be angry, I brought a lot of good things today, go out and have a look?" ”

"Good!" Niu Jianguo ran out of the door in a hurry, and his eyes lit up at the basket full of wild things in the yard. "Good fellows! Did you really gain a lot this time, or the old price? ”

Hearing Niu Jianguo's enthusiastic inquiry, Xu Changlin walked out with a smile, seeing his figure passing by the table and about to leave, Tang Tang's high heart was finally able to relax.

Unexpectedly, suddenly, "Smack! ”

A small bag of animal skin was thrown in front of her, and her heart couldn't help but stop beating for a second, and then suddenly beat rapidly. She hurriedly turned around to look at the man, only to see that Xu Changlin had a bright pace and had already walked out of the door.

Tang Tang opened the animal skin bag with his heart, and found that it was a handful of yellow corn kernels, shriveled and hard, and the soil on the surface was carefully sieved away. Apparently, this is the bag of grain she dropped in the woods last night.

For a while, Tang Tang's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

What did the man mean by not publicly revealing what happened last night, and choosing to return the bag of corn kernels to her in a secluded place? Does that mean he doesn't care?

Several thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and she clenched her fists slightly, deciding that she would go first. The bright animal skin bag and coarse dough cake in front of her were all in her pocket, and a bowl of steaming soup was not willing to be wasted, so she poured it directly on her head, burning her breath again and again.

But now it is clear that this is not taken into account. After Tang Tang finished the hot soup in a few seconds, he lowered his head and carried a hoe along the wall and ran out of the cafeteria. walked in a big circle from afar to the outside of the courtyard to avoid any further contact with Xu Changlin.

This flaming fart. The scene of the escape made Niu Jianguo a little puzzled. "Hey, what's this girl in a hurry? It's like who's behind her. ”

Xu Changlin raised his eyebrows and sideburns, stared at her back with deep eyes, and replied calmly: "Maybe there is something at home." ”

Niu Jianguo shook his head disagreeably.

Different from the comfort of the two, Tang Tang, who fled the scene quickly, was up and down in her heart, carrying a bag of corn kernels as if she was a thief, and hurriedly pulled her feet and walked towards the big locust tree outside the village, for fear that someone would find out that she was hiding food.

If someone really finds out, it will be impossible to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River! At that time, no one will believe that she got it by digging out the vole's nest, and will only think that she stole the food from the government.

In these days, the crime of stealing public things is very big, no less than digging the corners of the country! At worst, she will be arrested and publicly criticized, and at worst, her family will be affected, no matter which consequences she can't afford.

Therefore, Tang Tang carefully avoided the villagers on the road all the way and hurried to the big locust tree.

There, the little milk cat was lying in the grass, sleeping on all fours. The old dog lay on the ground beside him, squinting and lazily basking in the sun, and when he saw her coming, he asked in a long voice, "What did you take?" ”

Tang Tang looked at her in surprise, only to see the old dog's nose raised slightly, sniffed in mid-air, and continued: "In your pocket, I smell the fragrance. ”

At this moment, Tang Tang really admired. She laughed, "A piece of cake." ”

"Cake?!" As soon as she heard this, the little milk cat, who was sleeping well, jumped up suddenly, and circled around her body several times in surprise, almost wrapping her tail around Tang Tang.

"I want to eat, I want to eat!" The little milk cat meowed at her coquettishly, "I was busy all night last night, and I went into the woods early this morning to look for corn kernels, but I was hungry!" Tang Tang, can you give me some cakes? ”

Tang Tang was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Have you gone back to find corn kernels?" ”

"That's right!" The little milk cat nodded affirmatively, "All the food I robbed yesterday is gone, it's too heart-wrenching, of course I have to go back to find it." ”

But after saying this, its face immediately showed a look of gloom and indignation, and its thin beard trembled with anger, "But that hunter is so hateful, there is not a single corn kernel left for us, and the one who cleans it is called a clean one!" Not a single inch of grass is left! ”

It hung its head in frustration, and as soon as it turned around, it lay on Tang Tang's vamp, plucked up the courage to speak: "Tang Tang, if you don't give me the cake, you won't be allowed to leave today!" ”

As she spoke, the two front paws of the little milk cat surrounded her ankles, and the thigh-hugging action made people laugh.

Tang Tang took out a bag of animal skin with a smile and said, "What do you think this is?" ”

Suddenly, the eyes of the little milk cat and the old dog converged on the animal skin bag.

They stared at it for a long time, and the little milk cat suddenly shouted, "Da Bai, this is Da Bai's skin!" What did you do with it? ”

Tang Tang: "......"
