Lan Lan and Xiaotian couldn't think of a reason for Huzi to come to Bamboo Village, so they asked him why in confusion.

Seeing that the two of them were serious, Huzi made fun of them, and said seriously: "I'm here to give you some guidance." ”

Lan Lan and Xiaotian were amused by Huzi and laughed, thinking that it was some kind of shocking reason, but it turned out to be a foolish rhetoric.

It was getting late, the three of them returned to Xiaotian's house, Lan Lan wanted to say goodbye and go home, Pingping said, "Lan Lan, stay and have dinner before leaving." It just so happens that my family can't sleep, so Xiaotian and Huzi will go to your house to sleep for one night tonight. ”

Lan Lan had no choice but to accept it, but she was very embarrassed in her heart. Not to mention the simplicity of his house, the bedding is also tattered; Xiaotian said, but how to entertain Huzi?

Xiaotian saw that Lan Lan was thinking solemnly, and knew that she was worried about the hospitality, so he whispered to Lan Lan: "Huzi is not picky, don't worry." ”

Lan Lan was relieved. After the three of them finished dinner, they went to Lan Lan's house with torches.

Zhou Jueming and Liu Rong saw Lan Lan bring back the guests, and hurriedly got up and let the two little guests go to the fire pond to roast the fire. Zhou Jueming added firewood to the fire pond again, took out the ashes, and the firewood burned more vigorously.

Lan Lan went to the house with her mother to clean up. Liu Rong took out the sheets and quilt covers that had been washed in Layue, and put the quilt sent by Murakami on it, and after a while, the mother and son cleaned up a tidy guest room.

Huzi looked around Lan Lan's home, simple and dilapidated, but neat and clean, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Lan Lan. Lying in bed with Xiaotian at night, Huzi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Xiaotian said: "There are many poor families like the Lan Lan family, and there are many bamboo villages. ”

Huzi pondered for a while and said, "So, we have to help Lan Lan get out of the mountain." ”

The two talked about some other topics and went to sleep.

Pingping made up her mind to go to the city, so she packed up her house in advance, and found her own change of clothes, bedding and other things, and packed them into bundles.

Xiaotian was about to start school, so he also packed up his clothes and books, and went to the city with his mother to go back to school.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Pingping got up early in the morning to make breakfast, and the family plus Huzi hurriedly ate breakfast and went to the city with a large bag of things.

Wu Sifu was about to send them to the village office, so he helped Pingping carry her things and walked out of the door.

The sky was bright, and the group walked among the mountains and forests. A thin mist lingers in the mountains, and the crisp birdsong is pleasant.

Xiaotian and Huzi talked and laughed, like chirping birds, making the mountains and forests jubilant and lively.

The group came to the village office and saw a white Chang'an volt car parked in the dam outside the village office, with large bags and small bags piled up next to it.

It seems that someone is going out of the village.

After a while, the old village chief came out of the village office.

"Old village chief, are you going to work so early?" Wu Sifu took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Before the year (the fifteenth day of the first month), what class did you go to?" The old village chief smiled, "You go."

Where? Pingping still goes out to work? ”

"Howling back to school. Pingping went to help Xiaotian's father's restaurant with chores and came back in a few days. Wu Sifu explained briefly.

"Whose family is going to leave the village?" Wu Sifu asked the old village chief again.

"My daughter and son-in-law are back today. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something. My daughter told us two old guys to go to the provincial capital to bring them dolls.

I thought about it and thought about it, now that young people are busy with work and life is under pressure, we old people can help out.

Therefore, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, your aunt and I will go to the provincial capital as soon as possible. At that time, I proposed to Secretary Tang that you should be the village head. The old village chief said solemnly.

"Old village chief, you're kidding. I'm the material to be the village chief. Wouldn't it be better to let your aunt go alone, and you continue to be the village chief at home? Wu Sifu said solemnly.

"They said it was not safe to leave me alone at home. Alas, when they want me to go, I will go, so that they may not be troubled. The old village chief continued.

Wu Sifu didn't dwell on this topic anymore, turned around and handed over the things to Pingping and prepared to go home.

The old village chief hurriedly said, "Sifu, you wait, I'll call my son-in-law to take you to the side of the national highway to take a car." You have so many things, it's hard to carry. ”

After the old village chief finished speaking, he took out the phone and called his son-in-law.

After a while, the old village chief's son-in-law walked out. Wu Sifu and Pingping are very grateful,

Put the things in the trunk of the car, and a few people got in the car and left.

Wu Sifu went home with his back on his back, thinking back to what the old village chief had just said, and thought silently all the way.

When he returned home, Wu Sifu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that the lively home had become deserted again. This time he shook his head, no longer shaking his head lonely and sadly, but shaking his head helplessly at the busy and busy family of the family.

After tidying up the house, he took out the scorns he had prepared a year ago and prepared to weave a mat.

After a while, Zhou Jueming came to his house with a sluggish pace. When Zhou Jueming saw that the door of Wu Sifu's house was open and no one was visible, he shouted loudly: "Sifu, Sifu." ”

Wu Sifu walked out with a limp and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'll see if you're making up a feast." Zhou Jueming said.

"I'm taking a scorn strip. You're just in time, come and help me. Wu Sifu hurriedly said.

"Sifu, I'll help you carry the strip to our yard to weave, first, the field is wide, and second, you can also teach me." Zhou Jueming said earnestly.

"Sorry for the trouble? After a while I ran back to lunch. Wu Sifu obviously disagreed with Zhou Jueming's plan.

"Lunch is easy to solve, why don't you make do with it at my house?" Go, I'll help you carry the scorn. If the scorn strip isn't enough, use mine as well. Zhou Jueming said and helped Wu Sifu take the scorn.

Wu Sifu saw that Zhou Jueming insisted, so he had to take a contempt and go with Zhou Jueming.

Coming to the big courtyard where Zhou Jueming's house was, Wu Sifu saw that the third uncle's house was busy. Siguo, Sijia, and Sikai packed their things and prepared to go back to the city.

Seeing this situation, Wu Sifu couldn't help but sigh: When his parents are there, his home is there. As soon as the year passes, everyone flies to various places like migratory birds to forage for food. The mountain that had been bustling for a while will fall silent again.

Wu Sifu and Zhou Jueming cleaned the dam, spread out the green and yellow scorn, and began to weave the mat.

Uncle Wu saw the two of them weaving the mat, and after asking the reason, he pointed out the key points such as uniform thickness, thickness, and tight weaving of the strips.

Uncle Wu's grandson and granddaughter saw their uncle weaving bamboo sticks, picked up the sticks as ropes to jump, and jumped and played in the circles.

Uncle Wu shouted loudly to stop the child, saying that he cut his hand and was careful that the little fat hand was bleeding from his mouth.

As soon as the words fell, Sijia's little daughter's white fat little hand was scorned, and she cried loudly. A crisp and loud cry echoed in the huge courtyard.

Aunt Wu and Sijia ran out of the house in a hurry. Aunt Wu grabbed her little granddaughter's hand and rubbed it with her mouth while blowing.

I kept scolding, you damn scorn, why did you cut off my little grandson's hand? Sijia scolded and hurried back to the house to find a band-aid.

Sijia rummaged through her handbag in a panic, but she couldn't find a band-aid after rummaging through it, so she was in a hurry.

I shouted that this poor mountain and bad water land, and if I wanted to buy a band-aid, I got the village office 3 kilometers away.

Uncle Wu was silent, found something like a cotton sticker woven by a spider from the corner of the wall, and took his granddaughter's hand and prepared to paste it.

Sijia saw that the things in her father's hand were black and shady, and she was not allowed to shout.

Third Uncle Wu said without anger or anger, when you were young, your hands bleed, and we all stopped the bleeding like this. Now it's more preoccupied.

In the midst of the noise, the family went out with bags on their backs. Aunt Wu took off her apron, patted the ashes on her body, and followed her children and grandchildren to send them one ride after another, and unknowingly sent them to the village office.

Si Kai hurriedly said, "Mom, don't send it, you have to walk back later." ”

Aunt Wu said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go, it's okay to come out for a walk when you're idle." Aunt Wu kept watching her sons, daughters and grandchildren, and asked again, have you picked up your yellow baa, bacon, and sausages?

Everyone said that it was good to mention it. Aunt Wu watched her children get into the car, and when the car was far away, she reluctantly walked home.

When Pingping, Huzi, and Xiaotian arrived at Wu Ming's farmhouse restaurant, it was almost noon.

The restaurant has a lot of diners and people come and go. Wu Ming didn't care about greeting, and was so busy that he beckoned the waiter to serve food and add tea as if he didn't have his heels.

Huzi carried Xiaotian's mother's salute into the storage room, beckoning Xiaotian and Pingping to rest.

Pingping said to the two children, "The restaurant business is so good, let's help get started." ”

Huzi glanced at Pingping a little embarrassed and said, "Auntie, have you worked in a restaurant before?" ”

"Nope. It's not that hard, though. Serve tea and pour water, take bowls and chopsticks, do you still need to learn? Pingping looked at Huzi suspiciously.

"That, that, Auntie, you first coil up your hair; Let's go to the bathroom and wash our hands again, and then come out to help, okay? Huzi said.

Pingping listened to Huzi's words, and hurriedly looked at the other waiters, who were all dressed in uniform and hung uniform aprons on their chests.

waitress haircuts with hair tied up and her hair in a bun; The waiters all wear white hats and look neat and clean.

It turned out that Huzi was afraid that he would not pay attention to hygiene, so he asked Panfa to wash his hands.

After the three of them cleaned up, Huzi went to find a few aprons to hang on for each person, and then helped the waiters deliver tea, distribute chopsticks, serve dishes, collect dishes and other work, which were done by special waiters.

Everyone was busy until they had sent all the diners out of the restaurant, and the hour hand was pointing to 2 p.m.

The chef in the kitchen stir-fried the food out, the waiter, the cook, plus Huzi and Pingping

waited for others, and sat at two tables in a crowded manner.

Pingping thumped her sore waist, and sighed in her heart that the years were unforgiving. After such a while, I was too tired to work.

After lunch, Wu Ming asked the staff to move the rice, noodles, oil and other things in the storage room, and found the wire bed for Pingping to set up, apologetically saying that it was too simple, would he have wronged his sister-in-law.

Pingping thought, just help for a few days, it doesn't matter if she is wronged or not, so she politely agrees.

In the afternoon, Huzi and Xiaotian went to school for self-study after eating, and Pingping followed an old waiter to learn the essentials of serving food and closing the table.

The evening was busy again, and it wasn't until after nine o'clock that the restaurant closed for a wash.
