"Good luck." Lu Yan walked in, put down the things in his hand, touched Jixiang's head, and said, "I forgot to buy something for you when I came back, Daddy specially went to buy some snacks and came back, hurry up and ask my mother to come out." ”

"Oh, got it!" After speaking, Jixiang hurriedly ran into the house: "Mother, Grandma Zhao, come out to eat!" ”

Everyone sat down to eat together.

Although the village chief doesn't cook often, but the craftsmanship is still okay, the rice is quite rich, stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried meat and stewed soup, Lu Yan gave Jixiang a chopstick dish, and instructed: "Eat more vegetables, don't be picky." ”

Then he gave Si Si a large piece of meat, and said gently: "Si Si eat more." ”

"Lu Yan, have you encountered anything in the town? If someone dares to bully you, tell me that although we can't help much, we can also bring some people over to support you. ”

"You two elders can rest assured!" Lu Yan glanced at Si Si, and saw that she also had a helpless look on her face, so he said: "We are doing a serious small business, where will we encounter something, you!" Just rest assured! ”

Seeing that Lu Yan looked calm, the two village chiefs were not sure whether he was telling the truth or comforting the two old men, so they gave a few more instructions, and then they relaxed a little.

Lu Yan saw that Jixiang was in a hurry to eat, and knew that he was in a hurry to go to the school, so he took a bun to him: "Jixiang is not in a hurry to eat slowly, you can only go to school when you are full, if you are worried that it is too late, you can take it to eat on the road, or your father will ask your Uncle Da Niu to drive you over in an ox cart." ”

Jixiang has always listened to Lu Yan's words very much, as soon as Lu Yan said it, he hesitated slightly, nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll take it and eat it on the road, but I don't have to trouble Uncle Da Niu, I'm embarrassed to take the ox cart to the school alone!" I'll just go with the two dogs."

Jixiang put the bun in his arms, and after saying goodbye to his father and mother, he hurriedly went to school with the little friends who came to call him.

"Go to school...... Si Si suddenly seemed to think of something, and said to Lu Yan: "Aren't we still short of manpower in the store?" I remember that Jixiang had a classmate named Zhou Bowen, and the family didn't seem to be very good. ”

"Otherwise, let's take this opportunity today to go to his house to have a look, and if there is really something difficult, we will call someone to come to our store to help do something, and then give some wages, how about you?"

Si Si looked at Lu Yan expectantly, knowing that Lu Yan would definitely follow his wishes, but he still wanted to hear what Lu Yan had to say.

"That's fine." Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "I also promised Jixiang to help him last time, but this favor was delayed for several days, but fortunately, it's not too late now, just follow what you said!" ”

Lu Yan stood up, "I'm going to borrow an ox cart from Da Niu's family now, and we'll go over to find someone from the Zhou family." ”

Things went very smoothly, as soon as he heard that Lu Yan wanted to borrow a car, Da Niu immediately responded, very generous.

After Si Si and Lu Yan thanked Da Niu, they didn't waste time, and immediately set off to Zhou Bowen's house.

Zhou Bowen's house is not far from the neighboring village, and Si Si and they arrived in about two quarters of an hour, and after asking for directions, the two of them finally found Zhou Bowen's home.

This is the home......

"It's the first time I've seen such a ...... The house! ”

Si Si knew that there might be some difficulties in Zhou Bowen's family, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

This house looks very dilapidated from the outside, and the thatch on the roof is sparse, if it rains, I am afraid that it will rain heavily outside, and it will rain lightly inside the house.

"That's a lot worse than the house we lived in when we lived in Changshui Village! I don't know how the family came over on weekdays. "Bayi Chinese Network

As he spoke, Si Si walked over and knocked lightly on the door, not daring to use too much force, for fear that the door would suddenly fall.

"Anyone? Is anyone there? ”

After a long while, just when Si Si thought that there was no one in this room, a small voice came from inside.

"Who is it?" The man's voice was slightly wary.

"My son and Zhou Bowen are classmates, and I have some things to discuss with you today."

"Berwen's business?"

As soon as the man heard that it was related to Zhou Bowen, he immediately opened the door, and asked with a very nervous expression: "Is it our family Bowen who has done something bad?" Or is something wrong with Berwen? ”

"No, no." Si Si hurriedly said, "He's fine!" I have something I want to tell you. ”

"That's it!" The man breathed a sigh of relief and leaned sideways, "Please come in." ”

Si Si found that this girl was a little thin, although the coarse cloth clothes on her body were old, but they were also very clean and tidy, and then secretly looked at the yard, although there was no furniture, but it was also neat.

"You've been waiting for a long time."

The woman's cheeks were slightly red and she was a little embarrassed and said, "My family is simple, so I can only ask the two of you to drink some white water, and please don't dislike it." ”

"Where will it be, we suddenly came to the door to disturb us."

Si Si saw that these two teacups were quite new, and at a glance, he knew that they were the kind that he was reluctant to use all the time on weekdays, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"By the way, dare I ask what is the matter with the two of you?"

Zhou Bowen's sister, Zhou Cailian looked at Si Si and the others with some confusion and said.

"That's right, my son Jixiang and Bowen are good friends, we just opened a store, the store is short of manpower, and I want to ask someone I know to come and help, so my son told me about your house."

"That's what it looks like!"

Zhou Cailian suddenly realized, a little moved, but a little embarrassed.

"This ......" she bit her lip and looked at Si Si, "You two don't know the situation in my house yet!" ”

"Well, I don't know." But it doesn't look good.

Si Si said silently in his heart.

I heard Zhou Cailian say: "I am the eldest daughter in the family, named Cailian, not long after Bowen was born, my mother went, leaving my father and me and Bowen, the situation at home is not good, and there is an extra mouth to eat, my father can only get up early every day and work in the dark, in order to barely support our children." ”

"My dad is old now, he can't compare to before, he often has some illnesses, and I know the kindness of the two, but if I go out to do things, no one will do the work at home, and my dad and Bowen will not be able to take care of it, this ......"
