Guoguo didn't expect Shi Lei to be there, and he wouldn't be there for a while, and he didn't know what to say. Follow? Dream? She stood outside the courtyard gate, clutching the basket and hesitating.

"Guoguo, huh? Come in and sit down. Old Shi saw her hesitation and turned sideways, "Lei'er will be back in a while." ”

"Hey." Guoguo responded crisply, and went in with the basket. "This is a freshly picked cucumber in my yard, Uncle Shi, you can taste it, but the water is smart!"

The old stone was not polite, took the basket and shouted into the house: "Old woman, take the handle and pour a glass of water, the child will enter the door." ”

A wrinkled old lady answered in the room, her voice was gentle and gentle, not at all as old as she looked.

Guoguo knew in his heart that this was Shi Lei's mother, the mother who cried blind and worked hard. She was now walking to the table with familiarity, reaching out to touch the quilt on the table, and skillfully pouring the water.

Guoguo looked very embarrassed, she walked in quickly: "Auntie, don't be busy, I'll come by myself." ”

"It's okay, my aunt can fall." Shi Leiniang was kind, "Your girl's voice is so good, and she looks good, right?" ”

"Mother is so powerful, you can see it this way." At this time, a young woman's voice came out of the next room, with a youthful flamboyance and a woman's characteristic sharpness, and Guoguo always had a strange feeling in her heart when she heard it.

"Chunxiang, this is the fruit of the High Court, you can say hello." The old stone said to the woman, and then took the basket and went up to the well.

"Guoguo, don't treat yourself as a guest, feel free." The person who came was Shi Jian's daughter-in-law Fang Chunxiang, she knew Guoguo, and she said a few words on the edge of the pond.

"Eh, sister-in-law Haruka." Guoguo always has a strange feeling about Fang Chunxiang, this woman is very neat and capable, but she is also too powerful, and there have been many rumors about her in the village.

Guoguo just entered the house, and Chunxiang's hind feet also arrived. She still had a needlework basket in her hand, and as she spoke, her fingers fluttered over the soles of her shoes.

"Mother, pour one more glass, I happen to be thirsty too." She sat down on her own, and then smiled at the old stone in the yard and said, "Dad, this will be asleep silently, this melon will be frozen in the well for a while, and he will wake up just cool enough."

Guoguo didn't seem to know how to deal with such a scene, because before she could react at all, the two old men had already done what Fang Chunxiang said.

However, when the old stone brought the basket over, there was still a freshly washed cucumber in it: "Guoguo, you can also taste this melon, although it is your family, you can wash it with cold water, this taste is good." You don't have a well in your yard, do you? ”

"I just dug a hole in the past two days, and I didn't have it before." Guoguo replied with a smile, "Everyone helped dig it!" ”

When Aoki went to help with the grain, he accidentally said that it would be nice if there was a well in the yard. More than a dozen laborers poured over, taking turns to go into battle, and in one day they dug up water, and they even refused to eat at Guoguo's house.

This year's harvest has made everyone more generous to the Guoguo family.

So when it comes to this well, Guoguo also feels a lot of emotion at the moment. But before she could say a few more words, Fang Chunxiang took over the conversation: "Dad, now the Guoguo family lacks nothing, everything is the best in the village!" Give me a taste of this cucumber! Eh, I made the soles of this day, but I was tired. As soon as she stretched out her arm, the cucumber was scooped into her hand and handed it directly to her mouth.

Guoguo was really stunned this time. But she tried her best to restrain the surprise on her face, and when she saw the frowning brows of the old stone, she smiled a little unnaturally: "Uncle Shi, I want to ask Brother Shi to help me hunt something." He's empty for a while, right? ”

"Eh, Guoguo, you also know what the situation is in our family now." Fang Chunxiang was eating fragrantly, chattering at the same time, and her mouth was full of the tender melon juice of cucumbers.

Guoguo shuddered unconsciously.

"Our family depends on this silent father and eldest brother, this eldest brother went hunting, and the burden of the family is on us." Fang Chunxiang paused, "The size of this family, not to mention that you also know, where is there no need to spend energy?" ”

"Sister-in-law Haruka?" Guoguo was a little unsure of what she meant.

"Guoguo, your family is now famous in the village. But no matter how famous you are, there are some things that still need to be distinguished. It doesn't matter if you want your eldest brother to help you hunt, but the money ・・・・・・" she said while paying attention to Guoguo's expression, so serious that Guoguo had a kind of illusion, as if as long as she dared to say half a word, she would be a heinous criminal.

"It's nature. But it depends on what Brother Shi means. No matter how stupid Guoguo is, she knows what the other party has in mind, but she just has a faint expression.

"Eh, big brother is a rotten kind. He doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Fang Chunxiang's big eyes turned around, and the thoughts in his heart were thicker, "Even if he speaks, he is a void and can't be counted." Now I'll tell you directly, big brother will help you hunt, yes, but no matter what you hunt, you need to spend money to buy it. ”

"It's nature." Guoguo felt a little funny in her heart.

"Of course, we want as much as we want for this price, and you can pay as much as the restaurant in this town gives, how about it?" Fang Chunxiang's shrewdness was revealed.

"My sister-in-law laughed." Guoguo took a sip of water, "Auntie, this is a light bamboo leaf, right?" "The coarse black ceramic cup, I can't see the color of the water, but the faint fragrance, the fruit will not be mistaken.

"It's a light bamboo leaf." Shi Leiniang, who had been silent for a long time, said with a smile, "This was dug up by Erlei'er yesterday, and I soaked it early this morning!" ”

"It's delicious." Guoguo also likes the taste of light bamboo leaves.

"Eh, you baby, the elders talk to you well, look at you, where are you going?" Fang Chunxiang was a little unhappy that the topic was transferred, he glanced at the old stone who had been sitting quietly on the side, and his courage became fat again: "What the hell are you, do you give money?" ”

"Sister-in-law knows, do I want to ask Brother Shi to hunt something?" Guoguo put down the cup and felt that this person was really thick-skinned.

"I don't care, I'm going to give money anyway. And, if it only takes one day, you can do it without adding money, and if it takes three or four days to hunt something for you, what will happen to the family? This loss has to be compensated, right? Therefore, the number of days is also counted as money. Fang Chunxiang said, and Old Man Shi coughed lightly.

Guoguo smiled and shook his head: "Let's wait for Brother Shi to come back!" ”

"Okay." Fang Chunxiang said confidently, completely unscrupulous.

Her hands and feet are indeed flexible, and during the time she was talking to Guoguo, she had already taken a sole.

However, Guoguo waited for a while, and went home without waiting for Shi Lei, and never said what he was looking for Shi Lei to hunt.
