"Wait."

Yang Liu took off his gloves and entered the stove room, stepped on a small bench and took out a small piece of oiled paper from the top of the cupboard, picked out two large rock candy cubes from it, and told Tie Zhu to wash his hands before handing it to him.

Tie Zhu saw it clearly and said, "Fifth aunt, you didn't wash your hands either." ”

"I forgot." Yang Liu was a little embarrassed, just seeing that others had forgotten to restrain herself, she put the sugar cube in the corner of the oiled paper, took a basin and scooped water to wash her hands: "I was wrong, now I wash it." Yang Liu spread out his two hands for the iron pillar to inspect.

"Well, it's clean." Tie Zhu nodded matter-of-fact to signal Tong Guò, and then squatted down to wash his hands, perhaps because of the comparison, Tie Zhu washed very carefully.

Waiting for the iron pillar to wash his hands, Yang Liu gave him a piece of candy, and threw a piece into his mouth himself, before he was busy with a smile.

The morning rain only wet the ground in a thin layer, and it didn't take long for the sun to come out. Because the yard dam is a muddy ground and the wheat cannot be dried directly, Yang Liu flew two brooms of the chicken feathers that had just been pecked off by the earthworms, and then spread out the broken bamboo mats, and poured the wheat grains knocked out with a washing stick a few days ago on top of it. Seeing that the willow was drying the wheat, Tie Zhu stuffed the sugar into his mouth, took off his shoes, stepped on the straw mat with his bare feet, and rolled the wheat out of strange patterns. Yang Liu only told him to be careful not to wade the wheat out of the straw mat, and let him play freely.

For rural children, wading wheat is a fun thing to do. The knocked out wheat is dusted again, flying away the wheat mangs that prick people, and it is comfortable to step on and massage the soles of the feet, and it can often be worn on it for a long time.

The others were in a hurry today, and they didn't bring the crockpots for water, and Yang Liu estimated that they would send someone back to get boiling water later, so they went to the stove room to boil some water and wait for it to cool naturally. Inevitably, Li Cong took a bath with cold water again, and Yang Liu thought of a lazy way, took out a wooden bucket and filled it with water and put it in the sun to dry. She couldn't make such a thin skin, so she took out all the wooden barrels that she didn't need for the time being, filled them with water and dried them in the sun. As soon as he finished doing this, he saw a small figure approaching from the corner of his eye, Yang Liu straightened up to see the person clearly, and said with a smile: "Qiaoqiao is back." ”

"Well, I'll come back and boil some boiling water. Aunt Five, why are you up? Qiaoqiao trotted a few steps to Yang Liu and asked with concern, "Fifth aunt, are you okay?" Does it still hurt? ”

Yang Liu looked in the mirror, and naturally knew that the pain in Qiaoqiao's mouth referred to the pinch mark in his middle place, which was still swollen until now, and how hard he had to work at the beginning. No wonder Li Cong didn't show her in the mirror, it was so ugly, he could still see it. She originally wanted to cover it, but when she thought that she didn't go out at home, it was uncomfortable to hang a veil on her face, so it looked strange to wear a scarf at home.

"It's just heat stroke, it's not a big deal, I'm fine. You came back just in time for the water to cool down. Yang Liu said lightly, scooped the water into the crockpot, thought about it, and put all the fine rock sugar in the oil paper bag into it. This rock candy was originally secretly concealed to satisfy Tiezhu's cravings, and now it comes in handy. She also did this to prevent someone from suffering from heat stroke, anyway, she remembered that during the 800-meter race in the high school entrance examination, the head teacher asked everyone to drink a glucose syrup before the game, this rock sugar water is not more delicate than glucose, but it should have some effect.

Qiaoqiao took out the basket, shook the ash on it, and then put the crockpot in it and prepared to go to the field.

"You wait." Seeing that Qiaoqiao was about to leave, Yang Liu stopped her, went to the field to pick a few cucumbers, washed them and put them in, and found a few dry handkerchiefs from her house for them to wipe their sweat. After loading these things, Yang Liu reached out and carried the basket, and said, "Hey, it's a little heavy, you can't lift it, wait for me to lock the door and go with you." "It looks like it's full of baskets, but in fact there aren't many things, and the crockpots take up a lot of space. In addition, the clay pot itself is sinking, and it is even heavier when water is filled into it, and the small body can not be moved.

Yang Liu turned around and was about to lock the door, but Qiaoqiao picked up the basket and said, "Fifth aunt, I can move, I'm leaving." Without even waiting for Yang Liu's reply, Qiaoqiao walked away quickly, and it was not until she walked far away in one breath that she slowed down and held the basket in her arms. It's not that she doesn't know Yang Liu's kindness, but she always feels a little guilty when she sees the injuries her mother left on Yang Liu.

"This kid" Yang Liu sighed, he always felt that something was missing in his heart, and his eyes turned around and fell on the iron pillar, only to understand what was missing. She asked, "Tiezhu, why didn't you call someone when your sister came back just now?" The fifth aunt remembered that Tie Zhu was not such an impolite person. ”

Tie Zhu lowered his head and played with his fingers, raised one foot and gently played with the grains of wheat, but did not answer.

"What's wrong, shy?" Yang Liu quipped.

"It's not." Tie Zhu faced Yang Liu and pouted, "I'm afraid that my sister will hate me." ”

"Huh?" Yang Liu was a little confused, which play was this staged?

Tie Zhu's index fingers of both hands were pointed, and he said sullenly: "It was I who caused my sister to be beaten, and Aunt Five, you are not allowed to tell my sister, otherwise I won't go to the slope with you." Iron Pillar's eyes rolled around a few times before he came up with such a threatening solution.

Yang Liu had a really frightened expression, and nodded hurriedly: "Well, I must not say it." After a pause, Yang Liu said again: "But Tiezhu, you think that you hurt your sister and was beaten, why don't you tell her that I'm sorry?" ”

Tie Zhu's small body twisted like a twist, and he softly expressed his dissatisfaction, and said, "Do you need to talk about this?" My sister wasn't like this before, but now she doesn't talk to me, be careful. ”

If you don't take the initiative to apologize for doing something wrong, you also complain that others don't know and forgive you. Yang Liu didn't know who to blame for the last incident, but if there was a gap between sisters and brothers. She can see that Qiaoqiao is a delicate mind, she doesn't like to talk but she sees everything in her eyes, and people with this kind of character are very vigilant, and it usually takes a long time to observe before she can determine whether a person is good or bad in her heart. Yang Liu approached, looked into Tie Zhu's eyes and said, "How do you know if you don't say it?" Don't dare to say sorry to your sister if you do something wrong? ”

Perhaps stimulated by Yang Liu's words, Tie Zhu replied loudly with his small chest: "I dare! ”

Thinking that she encountered an earthquake in Chengdu in 08 and wanted to report safety, but the phone couldn't get out, she was so anxious that she dialed over and over again. Finally resuming communication, Yang Liu received a call from her mother as soon as possible, and when she called her mother, her mother was dialing her phone over and over again. Until now, Yang Liu remembers the anxious crying of her mother at the moment when the phone was connected, and she cried at that time and said, "Mom, I love you." Mother and daughter for more than ten years, only when she was facing life and death, she said to her mother that she loved her, Yang Liu sighed in her heart, brushed off the leaves on the iron pillar, touched his soft hair and said: "The fifth aunt hopes that you will apologize to your sister seriously, while it is still too late." ”

Tie Zhu didn't seem to understand, but when he saw Yang Liu's expression, he still nodded.

Yang Liu smiled, and then rubbed Tiezhu's hair.
