Chapter 18: The Rain Is Cold and the Heart Is Warm

It was only later that Zhong Xiaohua knew that a child of this age was terrible, Zhong Xiaosan was like a hundred thousand whys, chasing after his ass every day and asking, making her head two bigger, and Xiaodi also tilted his head to look at her, and he didn't stop it with a smile.

"Second sister, what does it mean to get rid of poverty?"

And just when she was foaming at the mouth of the story, Xiao San held his head with two hands, listening carefully, what did he hear about this poverty alleviation?

"Stupid, you don't know this? Poverty alleviation means getting rid of poverty, you know? Ay...... What the hell do you write? Or let me tell you a story? Write quickly! If you talk so much, let Xiao Wu write it. ”

Zhong Xiaohua rolled her eyes, crossed her waist with one hand, and gave Xiao San a big burst with the other, if he wanted to ask like this again, he couldn't make it up anymore, so he quickly asked them to write before diverting the topic.

Xiao San hurriedly grasped the pen, straightened his back, and sat up straight, but his mind was still stuck on what the second sister had just said.

These two people didn't know how to hold a pen at first, Zhong Xiaohua taught them hand in hand, and the other two little radish heads watched from the side, looking unhappy.

"The second sister is eccentric, why don't you let us learn? Why only teach them? ”

"Okay, good, second sister let you all learn, all learn well, right? Come, I'll teach you too, the second sister still expects you to soar and become a big official! ”

Zhong Xiaohua reached out and touched the heads of the two younger brothers, helped them tidy up their clothes, and stuffed a few brushes into the two of them according to the way she had just taught Xiao San and Xiao Saucer, and said with a smile.

The wind in the yard was blowing, and the rice paper was uneven, and several people were in a hurry, pressing the paper for a while, holding the ink for a while, and Xiao San also made the ink on his face, like a little flower cat.

Zhong Xiaohua came in from outside the courtyard and saw such a scene, she was about to laugh out of tears, isn't it just to write a word! If you can't write it, you can't write it well, so why bother a few people to go crazy about two pieces of paper!

"If you can't write, don't write well, wait for the wind to stop and then write, pack up your things in the house first, and write tomorrow, anyway, we have time."

Laughing enough, Zhong Xiaohua instructed them to pack up their things, and it was not too late to write Ming'er.

A few little radish heads straightened up, patted the soil on their bodies, and carefully packed up all the pen, ink and paper into the house, and put them on the only shabby table in the room, and laid out the rolled edges, from their serious appearance, you can see their thirst for knowledge.

Xiaohua couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It really should be brought to the modern children who are mischievous in class all day long to come and see and feel it.

There are unpredictable storms in the sky, and this is true.

The sky was full of stars at night, but it rained in the middle of the night, Zhong Xiaohua was sleeping in a daze at night, and she felt that there was water dripping on her face......

Well! Isn't that right? Where does this water come from? After all, it hasn't rained since she came here! How did she know that the house was going to leak rain! She scrambled to her feet, and when she looked up, she realized that the water was dripping from the roof of the house, and then listened to the rustle outside...... Oh! It turned out to be raining.

"Sister, get up quickly, it's raining, it's raining...... The roof of our house is leaking, get up! ”

Zhong Xiaohua stretched out her hand and pushed the eldest sister next to her, then got dressed and got out of bed, and ran outside the door, trying to find a way to go to the roof to repair the house!

How else would you sleep tonight?

"Why are you so shocked, our house is leaking. It doesn't matter, just wait until tomorrow to dry the futon or something. And now we can't go to the roof to repair the house! ”

There is no man in the family, and they can't do such a thing as going to the roof to repair the house.

"Didn't you wake up? Are you still planning to go to the roof? Why don't we move the shelf bed in the room to this side and make up for the night? ”

Zhong Xiaocao thought that Xiaohua hadn't woken up yet!

Stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Xiaohua's eyes, but it didn't look like she hadn't woken up, she looked at the other party with a look of not giving up if she didn't reach her goal, and said helplessly.

"Well, it seems like that's all there is to it."

Zhong Xiaohua didn't dare to go up, it was all thatch stained with water, it was slippery, what if it fell down?

She knew which was more important.

She stood up, looked up at the roof that continued to drip water, and reluctantly agreed.

The two men entered the house, lit candles, and did not wake up their younger siblings, and the two of them laboriously moved the bed to the other side.

"Why don't you go find a basin to get water, why are you still stunned! Wait a minute, the bed is dripping, see how you sleep? Go ahead, it's dripping over here! Go get the bucket for water. ”

As she spoke, the eldest sister quickly rolled the futon on the bed aside, and then brought basins, buckets, and everything that could be used to catch water, and then looked at the ground, there were pots and pots everywhere.

At this moment, those few people were also woken up.

The eldest sister asked them to help Eminem to a place where the rain did not leak, and then concentrate the things in the house in a place where the rain could not be wet, and a few little radish heads snuggled up to Eminem's side sleepily, looking at the "rain" in the house pitifully, listening to the symphony in the rain from pots and pots.

But Zhong Xiaohua was still standing outside, looking at the house in a daze, not knowing what she was doing.

"Second sister, come here! I see you're all wet, come over here, second sister, what's wrong with you? ”

Zhong Xiaosan looked at the second sister whose clothes were almost wet, and shouted anxiously, but what's wrong with the second sister, hasn't she heard such a loud voice?

Zhong Xiaosan looked at the stunned second sister, who was still drenched there, so he jumped up and grabbed her hand, because of the fierce pulling, Zhong Xiaohua stumbled and hit the eldest sister's body, and the eldest sister hurriedly supported her.

"Xiaohua, what's wrong with you tonight, what's wrong with you? Let my sister see if you have a fever. ”

As she spoke, the eldest sister stretched out her hand and touched Xiaohua's forehead.

"Eldest sister, I'm fine, I'm really fine, I was thinking about something just now, I'm thinking about waiting for the rain to stop, find some people to build a house, you see that our house is always leaking when it rains, it's not a way, go back, there are more rainy days, and it won't work out like this!"

Zhong Xiaohua was moved to take away the hand that the eldest sister put on her forehead, and said very seriously.

"No, it takes a lot of money to build a house! You have a little money in your hand now, but the house is built, what will such a big family eat in the future, have you thought about this? ”

In the darkness, Eminem's earnest voice could be heard.

After all, there are too many places to use money in this big family, and Xiaohua wants children to learn to write, which is ......

"Eminem, you see that the house we live in now is leaking like this, if we wait until it snows in winter, and we don't collapse the roof, what will we do at that time? Eminem, just listen to me! You don't have to worry about the money, I'll figure it out, Eminem......"

Zhong Xiaohua walked to Eminem's side in the dark, grabbed her arm, shook it, coquettishly leaned her head back to Eminem's body, and then put her arms around Eminem's shoulders and affectionately put her face on Eminem's back.

"Xiaohua, it's not that Eminem doesn't believe you, I'm sorry for you as a girl, and I go out all day to show up, I don't worry! Eminem watched you suffer and suffer, I feel uncomfortable, Eminem is a waste person now, he can't do anything, and he has to drag you down, alas......"

Zhong reached out and patted the arm around her neck, tears streaming down his empty eyes.

"Xiaohua, you just listen to Eminem, let's not build a house first, now the family's food and clothing is a big deal."

Zhong Xiaocao echoed Eminem's words, she is now in this family, like a housekeeper, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice! There is no rice and noodles at home, and the first thing to worry about is herself, so she is more afraid of not eating than anyone else.

"Eminem, eldest sister, if you don't let you build a house, then wait for the weather to clear and repair the roof of our house, so it's okay, and it won't cost a lot of money."

Zhong Xiaohua could only nod helplessly.

But this is not always the way to go, this is the first time it has rained, but how many more times will it happen in the future? What will they do then?

Moreover, it is already late autumn, and if it gets a little colder in the future, it will freeze to death.

Zhong and the eldest sister didn't support Xiaohua's decision too much, but they didn't oppose it either, after all, Xiaohua was also thinking about it for the sake of a big family, what else could they say!

As soon as the sky was bright and the rain was light, Zhong Xiaohua began to look around the yard, studying how to build the roof.

Zhong Xiaowu and Zhong Xiaoliu also watched with snot on the side, as if they also understood this.

Zhong Xiaohua looked at the wall around her, but she just got rid of the thatch on the roof and replaced it with a tile cover, which required a lot of rafters, and she thought that it was better to ask the village chief to come forward and find him a few masons.

Once again, he went to the door of the village chief's house, and the village chief was obviously more polite than before.

"Xiaohua, what's the matter with coming to me this time? Say, if I can do it, I'll do it for you. ”

"Grandpa the village chief, our house always leaks when it rains, I want to ask the village chief grandpa to come forward and invite me a few masons to give me the roof of my house to cover the roof of the welcome tile, so that I don't have to worry about snow in winter, the roof is crushed, do you see if you can help invite a few people?"

Zhong Xiaohua finished her words politely, neither humble nor arrogant, and the village chief stretched out a thumbs up to Xiaohua and looked at Xiaohua with a smile on his face.

"Wow! Every time I see your house, I feel dangerous. It's just that you Eminem is strong, and I said before that I wanted to help but she refused. I won't say more. But since you said it, I won't go outside of you. If you pay a little money for the mud tiles, you don't have to give the manpower in the village. ”

The village chief waved his hand heartily and looked at Xiaohua with appreciative eyes.

In this way, with the help of the village chief, the roof of the Zhong family was quickly renovated, and with the appearance of the village chief, everyone who came came to help, and did not want to spend the family's wages.

However, Xiaohua also knew that it was not easy for everyone, so in order to repay the friendship of the villagers, she decided to buy a pig to kill and invite everyone.

"Village chief, don't be polite to me. It's not easy for everyone. A total of two days of work. Ten cents a day for one person, and meals are provided by us. ”
