Cao Ang ignored Zhang Qiang's expectant and angry gaze, leaned over and picked up Xiao Qin'er to look for some wild flowers and wild fruits in the field. When he was young, every April and May, he would always go to the fields with Cao Anmin and other brothers in the sect to look for food, and the tender grains were soft and sweet and chewy; The sap of the roots is sweet and has an endless aftertaste; The ripe mountain is red and sour and sweet, and the friends at that time couldn't put it down; The red raspberries crunch and are extremely tasty.

Looking at the similar land, a sadness rose in Cao Ang's heart, the best playmate of his youth could no longer be seen, the improper, unobtrusive younger brother made Cao Ang feel more cordial than the younger brother in the family, but it was a pity that such a young life was easily swallowed up by the flames of war.

Sighing slightly, Cao Ang's eyes shifted to Xiao Qin'er, this little thing slept beautifully before, and now he is very energetic, and he is not afraid of the blazing sun, pointing east and west in Cao Ang's arms, looking around, full of interest.

Cao Ang hugged Xiao Qin'er for a turn, and then returned to the ridge to watch Wei and Zhang Qiang work. When facing Cai Liang's revenge last time, Wei said in a panic that Zhang Qiang was her man, and later the crisis was lifted by Huang Chengyan, and the relationship between the two returned to the past.

Cao Ang watched silently for a while, and suddenly had a teasing heart, muttered a few words in Xiao Qin'er's ear, and then put him next to the ditch in the field, and watched him walk towards Zhang Qiang with his little short legs.

"Father-in-law, do you like my mother?" The milky voice of the child echoed across the heat-soaked fields, and Cao Ang snickered at the stunned Zhang Qiang and the embarrassed Webster.

After Zhang Qiang was stunned, he looked at Wei Shi with a flattering smile, picked up Xiao Qin'er, and said, "I like it, I like it." ”

Wei became more and more ashamed, his face covered with sweat was covered with red glow, the shyness in his eyes was so thick that he couldn't dissolve, and he glared at Zhang Qiang with hatred.

"Then does the father-in-law prefer Mother, or does he prefer Xiao Qin'er?" The little thing pulled Zhang Qiang's ears with both hands, and asked questions exactly according to Cao Angjiao's words.

Zhang Qiang doted on Xiao Qin'er's little head with his braincase, and laughed: "I like everything, I like everything." ”

Wei Shi was ashamed that there was a crack that could let her get in, so he hurriedly ran over, tore Xiao Qin'er away, slapped him lightly on his ass twice, and said shyly and angrily: "Let you talk nonsense." ”

Zhang Qiang still grinned heartlessly, and even had a little smugness and obscenity in his eyes. Cao Ang snickered in his heart, but he pretended to be serious on his face, swept the two people with different expressions, and said softly: "Since Brother Zhang is interested in the beauty, why is he delaying his actions?" ”

Wei Shi was even more embarrassed, stomped his big foot, glanced at Cao Ang with a red face, and said, "Sir, you are also ......."

Cao Ang looked directly at Zhang Qiang, this guy smiled, a helplessness welled up on his face, scratched his head, and said sadly: "Mr. thinks I don't want to?" I don't know how many times I mentioned Lao Zhang to her, but she always insisted on disagreeing, saying that she wanted to raise Xiao Qin'er to grow up, and she couldn't be sorry for the dead Du family brothers. ”

Cao Ang glanced at Wei Shi deeply, and Zhang Qiang said again: "Do you want to say that I will treat Xiao Qin'er lightly?" Even now, I don't see him as my own. Besides, if the Du brothers really have spirits in heaven, they definitely don't want to see their orphans and widows living a difficult life, hoping that they can find someone to rely on. With me, how can there be anything that can't stand the Du family brothers? It's just that this woman is very stubborn, and I can't help it. ”

Wei Shi seemed to be touched by Zhang Qiang's words, sighed deeply, the shame in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced with a touch of softness and apology, reached out and stroked Xiao Qin'er's little head, and said slowly: "This world is not easy, how can I not know your intentions, but I drag my family with my mouth, how can I drag you down again?" You are young, strong, and diligent, just find a good woman to start a family, why do you have to ask me, a widow who has lost her husband. I...... It's not worth your treatment. ”

Cao Ang fell silent when he heard this, he was forced by the world, if he was born in a peaceful time, Wei would not have resisted so much. If he takes Xiao Qin'er into Zhang Qiang's house now, Zhang Qiang's burden will be more than doubled, and Webster really doesn't want to affect Zhang Qiang.

"What's holding me down? Am I afraid that you will drag you down? Zhang Qiang looked very excited, Webster's refusal again and again always hurt his heart, although he never gave up, but his heart was inevitably unwilling, after listening to Webster's words, he roared excitedly: "If I am afraid that you will drag me down, I will run to your house twice in three days, and I will still regard Xiao Qin'er as my own?" This world is not good, but it is not the worst, other places are worse than ours, and the people there are not alive? I'm not afraid of hardship, tiredness, or erosion of the world, but I'm afraid that you will keep rejecting me. ”

Wei's teary eyes were hazy, her eyes were fixed on Zhang Qiang, and the tears in her eyes flashed with intoxicating tenderness, but she bit her lip stubbornly, as if she didn't dare to open her mouth at all, afraid that if she opened her mouth, her previous persistence would collapse immediately.

Cao Ang patted Zhang Qiang's shoulder hard, and for the first time he felt some sympathy for this man in his heart, although he was cautious, although he had a broken mouth, although he had all the shortcomings of the people in the market, but this man was also a person with a temperament, and a person with a sad temperament.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I believe that Mrs. Du will want to open it after all." Cao Ang comforted Zhang Qiang, and then looked at Wei Shi again, and said: "Actually, Madame doesn't have to carry too much alone, although this world is erosive, it is not so bad that people cannot survive, and in the land of Shenzhou, there is always a land that can accommodate kind people like you." What's more, in the troubled times, we should cherish the people we care about, don't regret it when we lose it, Mrs. may wish to think about whether what I said below makes sense. ”

Cao Ang can only stop at the point, Webster has Webster's insistence and concerns, whether it is unwilling to drag Zhang Qiang down, or the last dignity in her heart makes her unwilling to take Xiao Qin'er to send someone to the fence, this is her choice. But Cao Ang believes that if the two of them are really concubines, they will come together one day.

It is not as good as a peaceful dog from the chaotic people, so the chaotic people will cherish all the good things more, and know more about contentment and gratitude.

"Okay, let's water it quickly, we'll have to cut down the bamboo later, it's also a tiring job." Wei and Zhang Qiang kept looking at each other, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Cao Ang had to adjust it, and then walked to Wei to take Xiao Qin'er.

Xiao Qin'er obediently stretched out her little hand to wipe it on Webster's face, and said while wiping: "Grandma doesn't cry, Grandma doesn't cry." ”

Wei Shi hurriedly wiped his tears with his clothes, squeezed out a smile, and said to Xiao Qin'er very softly: "Mother don't cry, Xiao Qin'er is good, go to Mr." ”

The little guy wiped Wei's face twice more, and then turned to look at Cao Ang, stretched out his hands to Cao Ang, and said crisply: "Sir, I still want to eat red fruits." ”

Cao Ang hurriedly hugged Xiao Qin'er and said again and again: "Okay, Mr. took Xiao Qin'er to find red fruit to eat." ”

Wei smiled lightly, glanced at Zhang Qiang slightly, and saw that he was still staring at himself, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, his eyes widened, and he said fiercely: "What do you see, don't you water it quickly, Mr. is still waiting." ”

Zhang Qiang smacked his lips, shook his head with a wry smile, and obediently watered.

Cao Ang doesn't care about these two people anymore, they are adults who have lived for half their lives, and they will think about everything.

The three of them were busy with their own work, and it was not until the early afternoon that Zhang Qiang and Webster stopped watering. Cao Ang hugged Xiao Qin'er and Zhang Qiang and walked towards the bamboo forest, and said to Wei: "Madame went home and took the firewood knife and sent it to the bamboo forest, and Brother Zhang and I went to choose the bamboo first." ”

On the way, Cao Ang confidently explained to Zhang Qiang how to carry water, but remembering Zhang Qiang's hesitation before, a trace of gloom rose in Cao Ang's heart. Zhang Qiang was very familiar with him, and he was hesitant to accept it immediately, would those farmers who had never known Cao Ang choose to believe Cao Ang?

Cao Ang expressed the worries in his heart, Zhang Qiang was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head, and said: "I don't think they will believe it, if it weren't for Lao Zhang who saw the magic of Mr. and knew that Mr. would never deceive us, I would never believe it, let alone take the risk of believing it." ”

Cao Ang nodded understandingly, but his heart became heavy, he turned around and looked at the endless fields, and muttered: "If you can't transport water for irrigation in time, the crops in these fields can only have a harvest of two or three percent at most, and how many people will not be hungry or even die." ”

Zhang Qiang sighed, thought for a while and said, "I'll try my best to convince them, they are all neighbors, and no one wants to see anyone's family suffer." ”

Both of them were in a low mood and didn't say anything more. When they came to the bamboo forest, Cao Ang explained the analogy, selected the thickness of the bamboo, and then the two began to look for suitable bamboo in the bamboo forest.

Considering that the fields are relatively scattered and there is a need for some spare bamboo, Cao Ang calculated the distance of ten miles, and finally decided to cut down 500 bamboos.

The huge workload made Zhang Qiang smack his tongue, and while looking for a suitable bamboo, he shouted to Cao Ang: "It's troublesome now, if we only cut a few bamboos, maybe someone will join us." But to cut so much bamboo, not to mention those who don't believe in Mr. with an iron heart, even those who hesitate will be scared away. ”

Cao Ang nodded slightly, sighed, and said, "Let's cut it first, and then we'll talk about it later." ”
