Stumbling, Shen Zhiyao made half of Zhang Cuihua's shoes, and after a closer look, she actually didn't do it well enough, and there were raw edges in some places, which was really not good.

But Zhang Cuihua still praised very face-savingly: "Yaoyao, it's good, I did it the first time, and if I practice a few more times, I will definitely do better than me." ”

"Mom, I'm not doing a good job."

Shen Tongyao couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhang Cuihua waved her hand, shook her head and said: "It's okay, anyway, Chunsheng's shoes can't help but be worn, and he always runs around the mountains and fields, it's nothing if it's not good-looking, you can make a few more pairs of looks good." ”

"Well, I'll make a few more pairs then."

Shen Zhiyao followed Zhang Cuihua to make shoes for a while, Wang Xiaguo took the homework book and came to Shen Zhiyao's side, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I can't do two questions, you can tell me about it." ”

"Okay, show it to me."

Shen Zhiyao put down the shoes in her hand, took the book handed to her by Wang Xiaguo, and after looking at it twice, she took the pen and scratch paper in Wang Xiaguo's hand, her voice was gentle, and she logically analyzed the knowledge points and test points of these two questions for Wang Xiaguo.

After speaking, she turned her eyes and asked Wang Xiaguo: "Do you understand?" ”

"Uh-huh, I understand."

Wang Xiaguo nodded with a smile and complimented: "Sister-in-law, your lecture is even better than our teacher's." ”

"Just listen to it, and go do your homework! Ask me again if you can't. ”

"Okay sister-in-law."

Wang Xiaguo smiled and you ran away, Zhang Cuihua raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Zhiyao, and asked with a curious smile: "Yaoyao, you can even do the homework that Xia Guo asked, you have gone to junior high school, right?" ”

"Well, yes."

Why not just go to junior high school?

She's already graduated from college, okay?

Because her father is a university mathematics professor, her mother is a high school Chinese teacher, and she herself is also a student who graduated from a key normal university.

So now to give Wang Xiaguo and Wang Qiushu a lecture, Shen Zhiyao has no pressure at all.

"It's really promising."

Zhang Cuihua smiled and sighed: "Our village has never been to junior high school before, and you are still the first one." ”

Not many of the children in their village have ever read books, and some of them are sent to Zhangjiazhai to study until the third grade, and when they come back, they can't even write their own names.

Like their family, Wang Chunsheng dropped out of school until the fifth grade, Wang Xiaguo dropped out of the sixth grade, and Wang Qiushu reached the fourth grade is also the first family in the village.

Shen Tongyao also went to junior high school, which is already very amazing.

Shen Zhiyao smiled silently.

In the rain, a person suddenly knocked on the bamboo door and ran in, shouting in a panic: "Brother Chunsheng, it's terrible, my second uncle fell down from the attic, people are dying, you run fast with all your strength, help send people to the town to have a look!" ”

Wang Chunsheng was sorting out the sprouted sweet potatoes and potatoes in the attic of his house, picking out the bad ones and preparing them to throw away.

Hearing this shout, he quickly ran down from the attic and asked, "Where is the man now?" ”

"Come with me! It's almost too late. ”

The person who came was Sun Changmeng, the younger brother of Sun Changbao, whose daughter-in-law ran away with someone.

His second uncle Sun Guimao had a good relationship with Wang Chunsheng and his father, and he helped Wang Chunsheng a lot after Wang Chunsheng's father died, and he also helped Wang Chunsheng's family when it was most difficult.

Yes.

Wang Chunsheng did not hesitate, and ran out with Sun Changmeng, not bothering to take an umbrella.

When Zhang Cuihua heard Sun Changmeng say this, her face was anxious, she put the shoes in her hand into Shen Zhiyao's arms, frowned tightly and said, "Yaoyao, you are at home with Xia Guo and Qiu Harvest, I'll go over and take a look, don't really have an accident." ”

Sun Guimao is a good person, and so is his daughter-in-law, a few years ago, when he saw that their orphans and widows were pitiful, he would send some food to their family if he collected something from the field.

Zhang Cuihua and Wang Chunsheng both left, and Shen Zhiyao was not ambiguous at lunchtime, listened to Wang Xiaguo's suggestion to cook sweet potato porridge, and listened to Wang Qiushou's suggestion to fry a chili pepper section pickled vegetables, and finally fried a plate of Yinbud Valley, chewing crunchy and fragrant.

It wasn't until the evening that Zhang Cuihua came back, her eyes were red, and she said: "The person still hasn't been saved, why did this good person fall down?" Usually the body is very tough, why did you slip today? ”

"Mom, don't be too upset."

Shen Zhiyao persuaded in a low voice: "You have also been busy for a day, have you eaten?" There's food on the stove! Are you going to have a bite to eat? ”

"If you don't eat it, Mom has no appetite, so I'm just coming back to tell you not to worry. I still have to go over to keep vigil for Second Brother Sun, there are few people in this village, so I have to follow and keep watch. ”

When an old man dies, the people of the village will keep vigil with the family until he is buried.

Sun Guimao died without warning, his daughter-in-law and children cried together, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, and he could only rely on the village people to help him more.

"Mom, I'll go with you."

Shen Zhiyao said: "Brother Chunsheng shouldn't have eaten yet, there are still a few sweet potatoes that I cooked earlier, and I took them to pad his stomach." Mom, why don't you go hungry after you eat a little. ”

Zhang Cuihua knew that Shen Zhiyao cared about her, so she patiently ate a bowl of rice, and refused to eat it again.

The roads in the backward countryside are all dirt roads, and they are very slippery when it rains, but fortunately, Zhang Cuihua is holding a flashlight, so that she will not be blind.

Shen Zhiyao walked very cautiously with every step, eager to clasp her toes on the ground, and firmly fixed herself on the slippery ground.

The distance between the two houses is not too far, only more than 300 meters, but it took almost ten minutes to walk there.

The rain stopped.

But the yard of Uncle Sun's house was still full of water, and the villagers helped to pick up coal ash from each household or small stones from the mountains to pave the yard.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was a large iron bucket, and in the iron bucket was a roaring firewood, and on the side of the firewood was a circle of people, all of whom had come to keep vigil.

Because the incident happened suddenly and there was no coffin, the villagers helped to build a simple bed with two large benches and door panels, and put Second Uncle Sun on it, covered with a quilt and covered with yellow paper on his face.

Shen Zhiyao didn't dare to look more, and after glancing at Wang Chunsheng, she turned around and walked back to the courtyard.

Zhang Cuihua and Second Uncle Sun's daughter-in-law were talking, the two were crying while talking, Shen Zhiyao didn't know how to comfort people, just hesitated to walk over, Wang Chunsheng's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Why did you come with you?" ”

Shen Zhiyao turned her head in surprise, and saw that Wang Chunsheng was dirty, his clothes were full of muddy water, his hair was also wet, and he was holding a flat pole in his hand.

He had just gone with him to pick up rocks in the mountains.

Shen Zhiyao took out two sweet potatoes from the cloth bag she was carrying, handed them to Wang Chunsheng, and said, "I think you haven't eaten anything after a busy day here, right?" I'm afraid you'll be hungry, so I'll take a few sweet potatoes to give you a cushion. ”

"Hmm."

Wang Chunsheng's Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, and by the faint light of the fire, he looked at the girl in front of him who was holding two sweet potatoes and looked at him with shining eyes, and whispered, "Wait for me." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Shen Zhiyao nodded hurriedly, Wang Chunsheng turned around and walked to the side to scoop water and wash his hands, and then raised his feet and walked towards Shen Zhiyao, took the sweet potato from her hand, and bit half of it in one bite.

I guess I'm really hungry.

But even if he bites half like this, his action of chewing the sweet potato is slow and methodical, and the Adam's apple rolls with the swallowing action, and there is no eagerness at all, but an indescribable ...... Sexy?

Shen Zhiyao was startled by these two words that appeared in her mind, and quickly shook her head, feeling that she was either blind or had a funny head.
