Before going to bed, Zhang Zhimu fed the cow again.

Although he slept in the same room with a few piglets and dozens of chickens, Zhang Zhimu's sleep was basically unaffected, perhaps because he was too tired, Zhang Zhimu was on the pillow as soon as his head was touched.

As soon as the sky was bright, Huang Yukun finished the meal, obviously getting up before dawn.

It didn't take much to wake up Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqing's feet were fine. After eating, put the car in place. Huang Yukun carried a bundle of grain grass and spread it on the car, and then spread an old sheepskin on the grass and a quilt. Give each person a straw hat. asked Zhang Zhimu to put on a leather shoulder, and Xiaoqing directly lay down in the quilt. Zhang Zhimu pinned a short knife to his waist, and a single willow leaf knife, stuffed it into the grain grass under the sheepskin. took two catties of meat buns, and left the other two catties for the mother. Poured a gourd of water. Huang Yukun handed over a small gold bar of one tael, ten taels of silver, and four hundred copper coins, and said, "The poor family is rich, go early and return early." Don't spare too much money, eat something good on the way. When you meet Uncle Chen, you must persuade him to come back. Tell him we have something to eat. ”

"Remember, always keep the door closed at night, don't open anything outside, and don't take anything away. Hear no, the most important thing is that people are okay, as long as people are well, we can earn other things. Zhang Zhimu's words made Huang Yukun's heart stir.

"Don't worry, brother, we'll wait for you to come back. Xiaoqing, listen to your uncle. ”

"Jacaranda, let's make a dress for the child and you."

"Got it!"

Leading the oxen down the slope, Zhang Zhimu got into the car and walked southwest along the dirt road by the river with a whip.

After walking for a while, it was dawn. Xiaoqing was like a bird out of a cage, excited. One moment stands up, the next lies down. I have regained the nature of a child, and I am no longer a little adult. chattered non-stop, and Zhang Zhimu was amused.

In Xiaoqing's eyes, his uncle can not only give himself delicious food and be amiable, but also protect himself everywhere, revealing that his feelings for his father have been transferred to Zhang Zhimu, constantly spoiling and making trouble.

"Hey, be careful not to fall." Zhang Zhimu instructed, thinking that he couldn't be bored now.

In March, the fields began to be green everywhere, the fields had not yet been cultivated, they seemed very empty, and there were no people on the road, the sun was shining, and Zhang Zhimu put on his straw hat. Xiaoqing was also tired and lay in the car. Zhang Zhimu drove the car leisurely, thinking that this cow was really good, and the speed had not changed.

"Ah, there are wolves." Xiaoqing shouted. Zhang Zhimu was startled and looked in the direction of Xiaoqing's eyes. I saw that it was a half-sized skinny yellow dog, and he followed the car weakly.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's a yellow dog." Zhang Zhimu said and jumped out of the car, waved his whip to scare and scare the dog: "Go!"

The dog stopped and didn't go any further. As soon as Zhang Zhimu got into the car, the dog followed. Zhang Zhimu saw that there was no breath of creatures in the wilderness, this dog must be hungry. I took out a bun and threw it over. This makes Xiaoqing feel distressed, it's a meat bun.

The dog picked up the bun, snorted and ran to the side of the road to eat. The dog who had finished eating after a while followed. Zhang Zhimu thought that this must be a wild dog, no one wanted it, no, he would take it back to watch the house. I parked the car. Beckoning to the dog: "Bobo, come here." ”

Not to mention, the dog really walked over and stopped a few steps away to look at Zhang Zhimu. "Come here." Zhang Zhimu beckoned. The dog raised his legs and shook his body, not daring to go forward. Zhang Zhimu took out a bun again, this is the dog slowly walking hungry, Zhang Zhimu reached out and touched the dog's head, the dog's ears drooped, looking up and down, Zhang Zhimu patted the neck under the dog's chin again. Say eat here: "Eat here." ”

The dog really ate the bun next to the car, and when he finished eating, he stuck out his tongue as if he wanted to eat it. Xiaoqing quit. are a little crying, shouting: "It's gone"

Zhang Zhimu didn't want to give it to him anymore. Seeing that the dog had some dirt on his body, he took the brush of the cow and brushed him, and the dog was also very useful and kept waging his tail. After brushing it, the yellow dog was quite beautiful, and Xiaoqing also felt that she liked this dog, and asked, "Do you want to take him with you?" ”

"What do you say?" Zhang Zhimu asked deliberately.

"I want to take it with me."

"Okay, then I'll find a buddy."

"Get in the car" waved at the dog, and the dog really understood, so he got into the car and lay down next to Xiaoqing.

Continue on the road, and after a while, Xiaoqing will play with the yellow dog. Zhang Zhimu asked, "What is the name of this dog?" ”

"I don't know if you can take it."

"Then, let's call it Saihu."

"Tiger Race Tiger Race" Xiaoqing shouted, and the yellow dog seemed to understand, arguing with Xiaoqing.

Zhang Zhimu was very happy in his heart. I really want to sing two lines out loud.

Asked Xiaoqing: "Can you sing?" ”

"No, it won't. Can you sing? ”

"Yes, I'll teach you!"

"Hehe, you sing one first" Xiaoqing didn't believe that Zhang Zhimu could sing.

Zhang Zhimu thought to himself, in his previous life, there were a few people who were not masters of the song hall. Just sing a suitable one for children, clear your throat and sing:

"The moon travels through the white lotus-like clouds

The evening breeze blew a burst of happy singing

We sat next to a high pile of grain

Listen to Mom talk about the past

We sat next to a high pile of grain

Listen to Mom talk about the past

At that time, my mother had no land

All life is on two hands

Sweat flowed in the fiery fields of the landlords

But my mother ate wild vegetables and chaff

The wind and snow howl like a wolf in winter

But my mother was dressed in tattered clothes

She went to sew a fox fur robe for the landlord

Fell cold and hungry to the snow

How many years of suffering have passed

Mom is looking forward to today's good time

The moon travels through the white lotus-like clouds

The evening breeze blew a burst of happy singing

We sat next to a high pile of grain

Listen to Mom talk about the past

We sat next to a high pile of grain

Listen to Mom talk about the past

Listen to my mother tell me about the past."

Xiaoqing has heard such a song, and after singing it, Xiaoqing's tears flowed out.

"This song is called 'Listen to Mom Tell Me About the Past', is it good?" Zhang Zhimu finished singing and asked.

"It's so good, can I learn it?"

"Yes, we Xiaoqing, people are smart, their voices are good, they learn it, they must be better than their uncle singing," Zhang Zhimu encouraged.

"Really? Teach me quickly. Xiaoqing said anxiously.

In this way, Zhang Zhimu taught sentence by sentence, Xiaoqing learned sentence by sentence, and after several times, although sometimes the lyrics were incomplete, the tune could basically be sung. It's a pity that the child can't read, otherwise he can write it down and let it practice slowly. Thinking of this, he suddenly asked Xiaoqing: "Is there a private school in the city, it is a place to learn to read and write." ”

"Yes! In the city, Mr. Huang's private school teaches reading and writing. Mr. Huang has been a jinshi, but he is knowledgeable, and if he is disobedient, he will play a hand. ”

"Do you want to go to school?"

"Can I read? I think so. I've got to dig up wild vegetables. Xiaoqing's eyes flashed with longing, and she felt that reading was too far away from her.

"When you go back, my uncle will send you to study, and I believe my uncle. You have to read the book well, and then you will be able to sing a lot of good songs. ”

"Can I really read? Uncle. Can mom say yes? "I'm going to cry when I love it.

"Uncle said yes, he can. Mom, my uncle went and said. ”

Xiaoqing came over and leaned his head on Zhang Zhimu's back and said, "Uncle, I want to study." "Crying.

"Don't cry, just go back."

When I came to a town in front of me, I saw a snack bar, so I stopped the car and asked for two bowls of noodles.

The noodles were served, and Xiaoqing wanted to eat the buns. I took out two buns. After eating the two buns, Xiaoqing's bowl of noodles couldn't be eaten. Zhang Zhimu came over and ate a little, and there was still more than half a bowl left, so he shouted: "Saihu." Saihu, who was lying next to him, ran over at once. Zhang Zhimu poured the noodles on the bluestone on the side of the road, and Saihu came over and not only ate the noodles, but even licked the stones. It's not good to make the restaurant owner angry. In these years, people can't eat enough, and they still feed dogs.

After eating, he fed the cattle and drank. Let the cow rest for a while.

Take the cow and walk slowly around the town. The town is not small, there are windmills that sell, Xiaoqing likes it, so he bought one; There was a candy seller, and they bought a big stove candy ball. In short, if you are full of food, you can buy what you like, Xiaoqing is a princess this time. It is estimated that this is the happiest time for Xiaoqing to grow up so big.

Saihu is also very energetic, because he has two meat buns in his stomach and eats half a bowl of noodles. This time, I didn't get in the car. Running in front of the road, running forward for a while and waiting for the car, when the car arrives, it runs forward again. Looking at the running posture of the tiger, Zhang Zhimu knew that he had picked it up, this is a rare good dog. What Zhang Zhimu didn't expect now was that this dog really helped Zhang Zhimu through the difficulties later.

Huang Yukun is really a scheming person, this time she guessed it very hard, Uncle Chen is in trouble.
