In a blink of an eye, it was already the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, and An Ping fell from the sky to the world again and continued to do hard labor.

The excellent results allowed her to go straight to the provincial middle and high school, and An Ping even had some differences in her excellent strength. But the An couple didn't take their daughter's grades seriously, they still spoiled An Kang who was in elementary school as before, and forced An Ping to do chores.

"You are a sister, you really deserve to do something for the family!" The whole family said this to her.

Get up early to do laundry, dry quilts, practice calligraphy in the morning and in the afternoon, her arms and wrists are stiff and sore, and she has to clean every room at night, which is the main content of An Ping's summer vacation life.

There are many trivial matters, An Ping is circling between cups, plates, dishes, brooms, mops, clothes, and basins, biting her lower lip, silent. There is always a strand of unsuitable hair hanging in front of her eyes, An Ping raised her hand and stroked it, and a pile of foam or dust was stained.

Ankang always laughed at her: "It's dirty!" ”

An Ping looked at the string of small fish and shrimp in An Kang's hand and the beads of sweat on his face, and said, "You are dirty enough, remember to throw the changed clothes in the basin at night!" ”

The nanny-like An Ping also has the task of helping her younger siblings with their homework. An Ping's cousin came to her house to play, and she had to be ordered by her parents to take good care of him.

"Sister, you're coming!" The cousin stood on the edge of the creek behind the house, beckoning An Ping to come over.

"No, be careful!"

"Sister, we caught a big turtle!"

"Huh?!"

An Ping is still a child at heart, and she still maintains a curiosity about these new things. She walked towards the river, slippery mud under her feet.

The cousin held the soft-shelled turtle high above his head, as if to show off a trophy. The soft-shelled turtle waved its short and fat hands and feet, and its pointed head stretched out and stretched, which was very funny, and An Ping was shocked by this funny scene for a while—she had not felt such joy for a long time.

Suddenly, she felt someone hit her from behind, and her feet were unstable, and she fell into the river.

Seeing this, the children on the shore shouted, "Oh no! Sister Ping has fallen into the water! "Everybody panicked.

An Ping couldn't swim, so she had to use the dog planing action to flutter hard, she struggled, and after a while, she lost her strength, letting herself float and be slapped by the current.

Fortunately, after a while, a sturdy young man rushed to hear the sound, and a fierce man plunged into the river and dragged An Ping ashore. He shook the water on his body and said to this group of frightened little beast-like children: "It just rained heavily two days ago, and the river is rising badly, don't play by the river these days, beware of accidents!" Squatted down again and said to the half-awake An Ping, "Fortunately, the river is not deep, otherwise your life will be lost!" It's fun! ”

An Ping listened to this young man's words, and her heart was full of resentment and grievance. Why is she playful? Isn't it because of her responsibility to look after her younger siblings that she is like this? Why is it that other children can play to their heart's content during the summer vacation, while she still has to face endless chores?

Afterwards, An Ping's parents heard about it, and they did not find out who knocked An Ping into the river, but asked An Ping, who had not fully recovered her body, to personally take the soft-shelled turtle touched by her cousin to the young man's house to express her gratitude.

It turned out that this young man was a college student from the Nian family in the village, named Nian Dalu, who was in the second year of college and returned to the village to help his grandfather work during the summer vacation.

When An Ping arrived at Nian's house, Nian's grandfather entertained An Ping very warmly, giving up his seat and serving tea, which made An Ping very embarrassed. Nian Dalu looked at An Ping on the side, smiling evilly.

Grandpa Nian scolded: "Why are you still here? Finished with weeds? ”。

Nian Dalu stuck out his tongue mischievously, turned his head and walked out of the house.
