Xia Lei stayed happily in Shi Jiaojiao's house for a week, if it wasn't for taking her around, Shi Jiaojiao probably would never have known that the village that gave birth to her life, but she was determined to escape, was actually so big. Xia Lei said, "Have you traveled all over here? Shi Jiaojiao sat on the bamboo bed, looked at the bright sky outside, and shook her head: "No, it's not necessary." This is not my hometown, nor is it my future. Xia Lei stood up and took Shi Jiaojiao's hand, "Let's go and walk once, and we'll know if we go through it." ”

To the north, the border of other villages, which was originally a wasteland and pond, turned into a large square, shallow crab pond surrounded by white film fences; At the end of the south was a large rushing river, and at the end of the great river on this side of the village was the lake that used to be outing, "Is there a moat connected to the town?" Xia Lei asked, Shi Jiaojiao looked at Ling Ling Boguang and said to herself, "Is the lake the source or the end?" Xia Lei grabbed her shoulder and said, "What flows in is the end, and what flows out is the source." "She laughed at her for being a thinker; To the west is the concrete road, and at the end of the road is the ramp into the town; In the eyes of the old people in the village, the end of the land is the easternmost lake.

Shi Jiaojiao found that the village was a bubble blown by the outside world, and the cement road was the straw for ventilation. She told Xia Lei about this idea, and Xia Lei stared at the fat caterpillar on the chicken feather dish and replied: "In this way, it is like a fairy tale." Look, this bug's expression is actually a little cute. ”

The construction of the resort is over, and my father's temporary worker has also done it, just taking the two girls to fish and catch shrimp every day. "How nice is that!" Xia Lei pillowed her arms and lay down on the grass. Shi Jiaojiao grabbed the fresh grass on the ground, squinted at his father, who was motionless in the distance, and he sat on the reef of the shallows, sheltered by the shade of a large willow tree, and concentrated on the fishing rod. Unknown tall trees grew on the embankment, and the fine oval leaves shredded the sunlight and sprinkled it on the two maidens.

"Where do you say?" Shi Jiaojiao asked, Xia Lei sat up, also looked at Father Shi and said, "It's all good, your family is good, it's good here." Shi Jiaojiao lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "It's not good." Do you think there are fish to catch in such a big sun? No. Dad doesn't have a job anymore and is hiding from Mom. Xia Lei smacked her lips and sighed, "Life is really not easy." ”

Shi Jiaojiao tilted her head and said with a smile: "Yes, in fact, I only knew that it was not easy for the poor to be poor. Only after knowing you will know that there is probably no easy life in this world. Xia Lei rubbed her hot face, and lay down with a "hmm", "It just depends on which one is not easy for me to accept." On the lake, there was a boat as small as a black spot in the distance, Shi Jiaojiao looked at the boat and said lightly: "I have to accept it." ”

When the red plastic bucket was placed on the ground, it vibrated with a splash of water, causing fish of different sizes to spin in panic. "It's another good meal in the evening!" Daddy Shi twisted the towel and said happily to the girls. Xia Lei had hardly seen a live fish, and she was still freshly caught, which was really joyful. After being happy for a while, he suddenly stared at Shi Jiaojiao and asked, "Didn't you say that you can't catch fish this day?" Shi Jiaojiao was speechless for a while, and muttered: "It's normal that you can't catch it, my dad is amazing!" ”

Father Shi picked up the bucket and walked back, and immediately dismantled his daughter's platform, "It's not that I'm good, I just found your Uncle Niu's cage, he estimated that he didn't come to pour it yesterday, just cheap us, haha!" Xia Lei became even more excited when she heard this, took the bottle of bait in Father Shi's hand, and said, "Is there anything else nearby, we can pour it for him!" Father Shi expressed his appreciation and said regretfully: "I know this point about the cage in your Uncle Niu's lake!" "Let's go find out!" "Yes, along the water's edge, there must be places with a lot of water and grass!" Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more excited the more they chatted, Shi Jiaojiao hurriedly poured cold water, "You call it stealing, Uncle Niu is not angry to death!" The three argued, but went home.

After the fish and shrimp were cleaned up, there was also a small half pot, and Mother Shi picked some old coriander roots in the field, cut a handful of wild perilla at the back of the house, and stewed a meal with a very delicious taste, and people who were busy all day were satisfied.

After dinner, Father Shi went to a friend's house, and Xia Lei urged Shi Jiaojiao to take a bath first. After handing Shi Jiaojiao the shampoo, she hurried to Shi's mother's room and saw that she was peeling broad beans while watching TV, "Lei Lei come and sit and watch TV for a while." Mother Shi patted the small stool beside her.

Xia Lei walked over and didn't sit down, but obediently squatted beside Shi's mother, picked up a broad bean pod, and said while peeling it: "Godmother, I have something for you." When Mother Shi heard this, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What novelty do you want to give me again?" Shi Jiaojiao smiled at Shi's mother, took her hand, carefully put a small paper roll into the woman's palm, and then tilted her head to look at the other party and smiled obediently. Mother Shi took a closer look, and there were actually three or four hundred banknotes, the woman's face sank, her expression was shocked and angry, and she opened her mouth to count the girl.

"Listen to me first!" Xia Lei grabbed Shi's mother's hand, pressed it on her knee, and said emotionally: "Godmother, this godmother is my own, and at that time, I was ignorant and forced to squeeze between you and Jiaojiao." The first time I saw you, I was so envious of staying with you, and I wanted to be a part of this family. Mother Shi pulled out her hand and put it on Xia Lei's hand, but her fingers were tightly grasped by the girl, "Every holiday, every time I am unhappy, I can come and leave as soon as I want!" You, including my uncle who came back later, all accepted me so naturally, as if I really were the girl of the family. ”

Xia Lei put her forehead against Shi's mother's arm and whispered, "Then I will really regard this place as my second home." Why can't I do something for my family? She put her palm against Shi's mother, so that the touch of that roll of RMB was more delicate in the palm of her hand. Don't reject me, Mom, don't reject me. All I have now is this ......," Xia Lei muttered.

Mother Shi exhaled, patted Xia Lei's back, and helped her up. "Lei Lei, I didn't dare to recognize you when you called me godmother in the past, children are not sensible, and adults have no reason to hold it. But now, you call me, and I can answer you steadily. Xia Lei blinked her eyes and looked happy, and Mother Shi patted her hand again and said, "But this money godmother can't accept it." Xia Lei hurriedly said: "Don't, just think of it as my living expenses for nothing!" Mother Shi smiled and shook her head, touching the girl's soft hair, "I can't accept it even if I kiss you, when will I collect living expenses from Shi Jiaojiao?" ”

Xia Lei was about to refute with a stalk on her neck, but was stopped by Shi's mother, "Lei Lei, do you think that you eat poorly and live poorly here with your godmother, and you want to spend money for a better life?" Xia Lei was taken aback, "I definitely don't have this idea, I don't know how comfortable it is!" I'm ......" Shi's mother pursed her lips and smiled, "Then stay steadfast, what we eat with Jiaojiao, how do we live with Jiaojiao!" That's what saves me money. Xia Lei stopped talking, and unconsciously took the money that Shi's mother put in her palm.

"You're going to break me up for this?" Shi Jiaojiao stood at the door coldly and said, startling the two people in the room. Xia Lei turned her head to look at Shi Jiaojiao with difficulty, seeing that she was still wearing daytime clothes, and asked embarrassedly, "Did you hear everything?" Shi Jiaojiao knocked on the door frame, pointed at Xia Lei and said, "You wait." After speaking, he turned around and went to his room, and soon walked in front of them, stretched out his right hand and said to Xia Lei, "Come out." Xia Lei trembled and stretched out her free hand, and a small roll of banknotes fell into her palm.

"This ......" Xia Lei unfolded the paper scroll, which was three hundred-yuan bills. Shi's mother also looked at her daughter in surprise, "Where did you get so much money?" Shi Jiaojiao frowned, her tone was angry and pitiful, stared at Xia Lei and smiled: "This is your good goddaughter, before leaving for the New Year, stuff the New Year's money you gave her in the pillow, and she is not afraid of being washed by soap and water." Mother Shi gasped, "Lei Lei, you ......" Xia Lei shrunk her neck slightly, and snorted: "I didn't come to press the New Year's money......" Shi Jiaojiao poked Xia Lei's head angrily, and said: "If it weren't for my mother's laziness, she didn't dismantle and wash the pillow you pillowed once, and it wouldn't be my turn to clean up the room on vacation!" ”

Xia Lei covered her forehead and smiled obediently while hiding. Shi's mother came back to her senses and said suspiciously: "When did you find out, and when are you going to tell me?" "Ahh Shi Jiaojiao took her shorts and replied: "Mom, you suspect that I want to swallow it privately!" Mother Shi nodded with a smile, Shi Jiaojiao's eyes widened, "I even honestly reported the twenty yuan given by Grandma Lili, I dare to swallow such a huge amount of money?" Mother Shi bent her eyes, stood up and said, "Okay, okay, the money is here, it's time to take a bath!" ”

"The real huge amount of money is not in my hands?" Xia Lei unfolded seven neat sheets of one hundred yuan and said dejectedly.

Shi's mother took the rubber shoes that were drying on the balcony during the day, put them on the wooden shelf made by Shi's father himself, and said to Xia Lei: "Collect the money." I have to tell you to do it! Tomorrow and Jiaojiao will dry the blessings, it is best to do a good job of cleaning the house, I have not had time to get it at work. Xia Lei immediately cheered up, Shi Jiaojiao heard this, crossed her waist and said, "Wow, Mom, you only go to Banye for half a day every day!" Mother Shi spread her hands, "But I don't have a holiday!" "And when are you going to take the holidays?" "The day after tomorrow." "Wait until the day after tomorrow, you will command at home." "Shi Jiaojiao, you have to be beaten by someone!" ……

Before going to bed, Shi Jiaojiao confirmed with her mother again, "The factory is really on holiday after tomorrow." Shi Jiaojiao climbed into bed, put down the mosquito net, turned the small fan into shaking mode, sat down at Xia Lei's feet and said, "I'll do it tomorrow, and go to the town with Lili the day after tomorrow!" Xia Lei leaned against the lamp with a copy of "The Little Prince", rolled her eyes, and said, "Have you ever been to the city?" Shi Jiaojiao shook her head, "When I was a child, I passed by my hometown and never stopped. Xia Lei closed the book, "Then let's go to the city to play the day after tomorrow!" Shi Jiaojiao asked stupidly: "Really?" Do you know? "It was clearly written in his eyes: If you say yes, you will take me there, and you can't go back. Xia Lei pursed her lips and smiled, and opened the book again, "I know you all the way, I'm Alalei." ”
