Chapter Forty-Eight: Summer Job

Huzi asked Xiaotian: "Is Lan Lan at home?" Tell Lan Lan to come over and let's play together. ”

"She finished her exam yesterday and was at home. When you've washed your face, we'll go find her. Xiaotian said.

Huzi scooped a basin of cold water, wiped it on his face casually, wiped it with a tissue, felt a lot cooler, and pulled Xiaotian to find Lan Lan.

Xiaotian knew that Huzi was worried about Lan Lan, so he took him to Lan Lan's house without saying a word.

Xiaojuan saw that the two male classmates left themselves and ran away, and shouted, "Where are you going?" Don't you take me with you? Aren't you afraid that I'll be taken away by the big bad wolf? ”

"The big bad wolf is afraid when he sees you, and he still slaps you." Huzi teased.

"Hurry up, we'll wait for you." Xiaotian stood and waited for Wang Xiaojuan.

Xiao Juan sprayed toner on her face, took out her sun hat and put it on her head, and after cleaning it up, she happily ran towards Xiaotian and Huzi.

"You said that you are not a lady at all, why do you still like to rub grease and powder, makeup and dress up?" Huzi sarcastically said to Xiaojuan again.

"The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself, understand?" Xiaojuan replied.

"Ouch, who pleases you?" Huzi struck with a grin.

"You have to take care of it." Xiaojuan pouted and said angrily, "Huzi, you said that your mouth is so poisonous, you don't speak, see if anyone treats you as a mute?" If you look at Xiaotian, people are much more calm and introverted. Xiaojuan said disdainfully.

"You two, a pair of living treasures." Xiao Tian said with a smile.

The three of them talked and laughed, and after a while, they came to Lanlan's courtyard.

"Lan Lan, Lan Lan." Xiaotian shouted.

Lan Lan came out in response.

Xiaojuan thought that Lan Lan was a fairy beauty, otherwise why would two handsome guys come to her under the scorching sun and the scorching heat?

can take a closer look, Lan Lan is a village girl, wearing a white-washed floral cotton dress, and a hanging apron on her chest, like a sister-in-law in the kitchen.

Lan Lan helped her mother feed the chickens and pigs at home, and deliberately wore an old dress from a few years ago. Aprons and clothes were covered with dust and feed powder.

She didn't expect Xiaotian and Huzi to come to her today and bring a beautiful big sister; I suddenly felt at a loss.

Seeing Xiaotian and Huzi walking towards her house, Lan Lan was full of joy and welcomed them into the house while wiping her hands on her apron.

Lan Lan walked up to Xiao Tian and asked Xiao Tian with her eyes, who is this fair-skinned and beautiful girl in the city?

Seeing Lan Lan's doubts, Xiaotian immediately introduced to Lan Lan: "This is our classmate Wang Xiaojuan, who came with Huzi. ”

Lan Lan saw Xiaojuan and Huzi, one is beautiful and the other is handsome, they are really talented and beautiful, made in heaven. Hurriedly took off his apron, patted the dust off his body, and warmly beckoned three friends to sit at home.

Lan Lan shouted at the back of the house: "Mom, Xiaotian and Huzi are here." I'll play with them for a while, and I'll stop feeding the chickens. ”

Liu Rong heard her daughter's voice and hurriedly came out of the back of the house. I saw a few white and innocent young dolls sitting in the hall, and hurriedly asked my daughter to change her clothes and play with them.

Lan Lan scooped up water to wash her face, and then went to the bedroom to change her clothes. There were only a few pieces of clothing, picking and choosing, picking out a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans.

Lan Lan came out of the bedroom and combed her messy hair with her hands. Huzi rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe his eyes, he looked like a village girl just now, and after a moment of effort, he turned back to the image of an innocent student, pure and sweet, even more moving.

"Huzi, can't you take your eyes off the beauty when you see it?" Xiaojuan teased.

Xiaotian immediately stabbed Xiaojuan with his hand and said softly: "Lan Lan is underage, and she is still a little girl." ”

"A little girl? What a little girl? Xiaojuan didn't understand why Xiaotian was so protective of her.

"They just finished taking the high school entrance examination." Xiaotian replied softly.

Xiaojuan stopped talking and stopped making fun of Huzi.

Huzi hurriedly asked Lan Lan with concern: "Lan Lan, how is the exam?" Is there a problem that you can't do? ”

"It's ok. I answered all the questions, and as for right and wrong, leave it to God. Lan Lan replied heartily.

Liu Rong cleaned up the chicken pen, patted the dust on her body and walked out of the back room, and said to Lan Lan: "Lan Lan, boil water for everyone to drink." ”

Xiaotian hurriedly said, "Auntie, no need, we are not hungry." Lan Lan came with us to my house for lunch. ”

"How's that going to work? Those two children were distinguished guests from the city. Liu Rong said and took out 4 eggs, shabu-shabu and prepared to boil water.

Lan Lan hurriedly went to the wood stove to help her mother make a fire, and Huzi also followed her to the stove pond. Lan Lan hurriedly said:

"It's not as hot as winter, it's not a good errand, it's very hot."

"It's okay, it's okay. You're not afraid of the heat, am I still afraid of the heat? Huzi said mischievously.

Xiao Tian sat outside and talked to Xiao Juan, and from time to time used the fan in his hand to fan Xiao Juan.

With curiosity, Xiaojuan looked around Lan Lan's home from time to time: an old wood-paneled house with production tools stacked in the corner of the house; An old desktop fan was placed on a stool, but no one turned it on; The tables, stools, and floors are cleaned up, which makes people feel good.

After a while, Liu Rong boiled boiling water. In the boiled water, there are white and tender poached eggs, and the crystal mash grains float leisurely, and the white vapor exudes an intoxicating sweet fragrance.

Lan Lan handed Xiao Juan a bowl and said affectionately, "Sister Juan, eat boiling water." ”

Xiaojuan hurriedly took it and replied enthusiastically: "Thank you, sister." ”

Huzi saw that Lan Lan was busy, so he took a bowl and scooped it in the pot. Xiaotian said to Huzi: "Huzi, you are not polite at all. ”

"You're welcome. Just a sip of boiling water, and it's not a high-end thing. Liu Rong hurriedly interjected.

Xiaojuan blew the boiling water, took a sip carefully, and a sweet smell immediately soaked into the internal organs: "Auntie, this is obviously a mash egg, why is it called boiling water?" ”

"That's what we all say in the countryside." Liu Rong said sincerely.

"Miss, this is the most rustic food culture, how do you understand?" Huzi teased.

Xiaotian, Huzi, and Xiaojuan each brought a bowl of boiling water to eat, and there was still one left in the pot. Lan Lan picked it up and brought it to her mother. Liu Rong hurriedly pushed: "I usually eat it at home. You eat, you eat with them. ”

Lan Lan knew that her mother was lying, and her parents were usually reluctant to eat the eggs at home, and they would take them to the market for money when they got together. In order to provide for their own schooling, they can save money, and they are willing to eat eggs.

Lan Lan hurriedly said, "Mom, you eat, you work hardest." I eat sweets and get fat easily, you eat. Liu Rong knew that her daughter was filial and couldn't shirk it, so she had to take the bowl.

Huzi sat next to him, and when he saw the mother and daughter pushing back and forth, he was very moved. Lan Lan is really a good girl with a kind heart, well-behaved and sensible.

Several student dolls were eating boiling water while discussing going to work in the city, and Liu Rong heard it on the side, so it was difficult to interject and ask them. I thought to myself, Lan Lan is a girl who has never lived in the city.

Where does she go to work? Do what? People say that the city is very exciting, but there are also many temptations, what if you go out to study badly?

After the three children finished eating the boiling water, they thanked Liu Rong, laughed and went to Xiaotian's house. Xiaotian was afraid that Xiaojuan would not be able to walk on the mountain road, so he walked at the back to take care of her.

Xiao Juan, who has always been smug on weekdays, walked in front of Xiao Tian, as if she had suddenly become a gentle lady, walking slowly, and asking softly about the life between Xiao Tian and Lan Lan from time to time.

Xiaotian has an introverted personality, and he didn't delve into the meaning of Xiaojuan's words, and said honestly: "I have played with Lan Lan since I was a child, and we are very good friends. When I was a child, she was like my follower, and I couldn't get rid of it.

Lan Lan is now grown up, sensible, well-behaved, and has good grades, Huzi and I both hope that she will be admitted to Zhucheng No. 1 Middle School and a good university in the future. ”

Xiao Juan saw that Xiaotian was talking about Lan Lan, and it was full of praise, and she couldn't help but burst out: "You can be described as a pair of childhood sweethearts." ”

"Say something. We're still students. Xiao Tian was slightly stunned.

The atmosphere was a little stiff, and the two stopped talking and walked forward in silence.

Huzi and Lan Lan were at the forefront. Huzi asked Lan Lan: "If you go to work in my restaurant, the life will be hard and tiring, can you afford it?" ”

Lan Lan replied: "As long as you can make money, there is no unbearable work." It is better to wash dishes at the end than to carry manure at home, and you don't need to bask in the sun, no problem, no problem. ”

Huzi had never worked in a restaurant, so he didn't know that the work of running around serving dishes and washing dishes in a restaurant was quite tiring.

The four of them came to Xiao Tian's house, Xiao Tian hurriedly turned on the ceiling fan in the hall, and gave each person a fan to fan the wind or shoot mosquitoes, and he went into the stove house to help his parents cook.

Lan Lan saw Xiao Tian go to the stove house to help, and hurriedly said to Xiao Tian: "You go to accompany Xiao Tian to play, and I will help." Pingping politely shirked, "You all go play." Now in this season, the vegetables in the field have not yet grown, so they have to eat them. ”

Soon, Pingping brought sausages, bacon, cabbage, lettuce, green beans and other dishes to the table, and asked a few children to eat them casually.

At the dinner table, Xiao Tian said to his parents, "I'm going to go to the city tomorrow to do a summer job." Lan Lan also went. ”

Wu Sifu glanced at Pingping and said, "Lan Lan is still young, do you also go to the city to work for the summer vacation?" ”

Lan Lan immediately responded: "Uncle, I've grown so big, not small." For such a long time during the summer vacation, staying at home and doing nothing is better to go to the city to earn some tuition fees. ”

Wu Sifu asked again: "Do your parents know?" ”

Lan Lan responded: "I haven't told them yet." ”

While he was talking, the rhubarb under the eaves was shouting, only to hear Zhou Jueming and Liu Rong scolding and drinking the rhubarb

Walked in.

Pingping immediately beckoned Zhou Jueming and Liu Rong to the table to eat, and Liu Rong hurriedly responded: "Say that you have eaten and eaten, you eat slowly." ”

Pingping said to Zhou Jueming and Liu Rong: "Just now a few children were discussing going to the city to work for the summer vacation, and Lan Lan said that she hadn't told you yet, right?" ”

Liu Rong hurriedly responded: "Yes." A few children were discussing at my house just now, and I didn't have time to ask Lan Lan yet, so I came over to ask. ”

"Lan Lan, are you going to go to the city with Xiaotian and them for a summer job?" Liu Rong asked Lan Landao.

"Yes, Mom." Lan Lan replied.

"You say, you two children go to the city to work for the summer vacation, and you don't know the place well, where can you find a job? Where to eat? Where to stay? The female doll is in the city, isn't it safe? Liu Rong asked repeatedly.

"Auntie, Xiaojuan and I are in the city, Lan Lan and Xiaotian go to the city, we are acquaintances? Food and accommodation are easy to solve, my family, Xiaojuan's family, can live. Huzi immediately answered.

Xiaojuan listened to Huzi's words and thought to herself, you have to promise you, I didn't promise Xiaojuan to live in my house. But he didn't say it.

Wu Sifu listened to everyone's discussion and remained silent. At this time, listening to Liu Rong's repeated questions, she said slowly: "Children always have to go to society." It's a good thing to be able to earn money, and it's also a good thing to not be able to earn money to exercise courage. ”

Pingping took Wu Sifu's words: "I am still going to work in the city for two months, and the house we rented has not been refunded yet." Lan Lan live in my rental house. ”

As soon as Liu Rong heard that Zhang Pingping was going to work in the city, a stone in her heart immediately fell to the ground. as long as

With adults in the city covering them, they don't have to worry about it.

The children discussed what kind of jobs they could find in the city. Huzi said: "Lan Lan is a girl, she must be tired of washing dishes and serving dishes, so she simply went to find a job distributing flyers and settled the bill by day." ”

Xiaojuan said, "Let's wait until we get to the city." Do whatever is suitable for the job, and always change. No matter how good the discussion is now, I don't know what the situation is when I get to the city. ”

Xiaotian said: "Xiaojuan is right, let's talk about it when we get to the city." ”

In this way, everyone reached an agreement on the matter of the child going to the city to work for the summer vacation. Pingping seemed to think of something, and said to Zhou Jueming: "Jueming, after I enter the city, Sifu is at home alone, you can help more." ”

Zhou Jueming hurriedly responded: "Do you need to say this?" ”
