Aini warmly welcomed Concubine Tao and Zhou Cangnan into the house.

Concubine Tao entered the house and sat down by the kang, looked around and didn't see Ai Senjiang, and whispered to Zhou Cangnan for help: "You ask uncle, where is Ai Senjiang?" ”

Zhou Cangnan translated to Aini.

Ani paused, sighed and said: "Aisenjiang can't go to school anymore, his grandmother broke her leg some time ago and can't work in the field, and his mother still has to take care of the elderly and children." I am too busy to farm so much land by myself, and I have to herd sheep...... If his dad had been there, we'd have let him go to school. But his father is gone, and he can only rely on him to support the family. ”

After listening to Zhou Cangnan's translation, Concubine Tao was speechless for a long time.

Even if she wants Ai Senjiang to return to school, but this family really needs labor, Ai Senjiang, who grew up in the countryside, can already support half of the labor, she can't say that she must let her children go to school to have a way out, and no one dares to guarantee what the future will be.

It took a long time for Concubine Tao to make a request, can I see Aisenjiang?

Aini told Zhou Cangnan that Aisenjiang was herding sheep in the woods on the edge of the desert.

Concubine Tao and Zhou Cangnan said goodbye to the old man, followed the direction pointed by the old man, and walked to the woods at the edge of the village.

Ai Senjiang saw Concubine Tao and Zhou Cangnan from a distance, hurriedly drove the sheep into the depths of the forest, and then hid behind a big tree, poked his head secretly, and looked at Concubine Tao.

The inferiority complex in his heart made him dare not face Concubine Tao.

Concubine Tao stepped on the wet canal stalk and looked at Ai Senjiang with a smile: "Ai Senjiang, are you embarrassed to see the teacher?" ”

Eisenjiang looked down at his mud-covered shoes.

Concubine Tao looked sad, and still walked over with a smile: "Ai Senjiang, are you planning to ignore the teacher again?" Even if you don't go to school, you will be a student of the teacher in the future, and you can also see the teacher when you go back to the town and pass by the school. ”

Ai Senjiang twisted for a long time before he came out from behind the big tree, holding a whip for herding sheep in his hand, and a lot of small blood holes were frozen on the back of his hand, Concubine Tao always looked at Ai Senjiang with a smile.

When Ai Senjiang arrived, Concubine Tao reached out to pluck the leaves on his head, and said gently: "Ai Senjiang, although you don't go to study, you must remember to be an upright person!" No matter what time it is, the money earned by working with both hands is spent most steadily. And you must remember that money is in your pocket, no one can give anything to the other person, don't learn to smoke, and don't make friends with bad boys. ”

Ai Senjiang nodded vigorously, looking down at his toes, tears rolling in his eyes.

Concubine Tao patted Ai Senjiang on the shoulder: "You are a man in the family, in the future, your grandparents, mother and sister will depend on you to take care of you, you must be as brave as a man, and you can't be afraid in the face of any difficulties." If you encounter something that you can't solve, you can go to the school to find a teacher, and the teacher will work with you to find a way. ”

Ai Senjiang lowered his head and snorted, and tears couldn't help but fall and smash on the dirty vamp.

Concubine Tao had red eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, the teacher went back first, I'm glad that you have become a real man." As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Zhou Cangnan.

Zhou Cangnan thought that Concubine Tao would leave some money for Ai Senjiang in the end, and when he saw that she turned around directly, he didn't ask much, reached out to take her hand, and walked towards the field path.

Concubine Tao didn't dare to look back, for fear of seeing the little child standing in the forest, which made her cry.

Look ahead and walk away.

Ai Senjiang kept staring at the teacher's back, tears rolled down, he wanted to study but unfortunately couldn't read anymore, he would definitely listen to the teacher's words in the future and be an upright person.

It wasn't until she walked to the side of the car that Concubine Tao stopped.

Zhou Cangnan motioned to Concubine Tao to wait, found a small stick from the side of the road, squatted down and gently scraped off the mud on the side of Concubine Tao's shoes with a small stick, and took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe the upper of his shoes again.

"Lift your feet." Zhou Cangnan said softly.

Concubine Tao obediently raised her feet, and Zhou Cangnan scraped off the mud on the soles of her shoes.

Concubine Tao, who was originally very uncomfortable, now saw Zhou Cangnan's movements, and her heart warmed up.

Sitting in the car, Concubine Tao whispered: "Do you know why I didn't give Ai Senjiang money?" ”

Zhou Cangnan shook his head.

"One is that money can't solve his current problems, and the other is that I don't want him to feel that money is easy to come by. The most important thing is that I don't have any money! There are too many poor children for me to help. Concubine Tao lowered her head after speaking: "Am I very selfish like this?" ”

Zhou Cangnan smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Concubine Tao's head: "You are doing the right thing, their family lacks a laborer, you can help him for a while, but you can't help him for a lifetime." And this kind of thing is a common phenomenon here, and you can't help it. ”

Concubine Tao is still uncomfortable in her heart, and the reality always makes her feel very small!

Zhou Cangnan buckled Concubine Tao's head and kissed her eyebrows hard: "The little fox with a sad face is ugly." ”

Concubine Tao fluttered: "Hmph, the fox spirit is beautiful at all times." ”

"Good, beautiful! What do you want to buy? I still have time, take you to the county seat? Grab a bite to eat? ”

Concubine Tao shook her head: "Let's go to the town, I want to buy some apples and bananas, let's go home for dinner at noon to save money!" I'm a little good at living. "Don't forget to praise yourself.

Zhou Cangnan smiled, leaned over and kissed Concubine Tao: "Well, it's very virtuous!" ”

Concubine Tao raised her head and deliberately bit Zhou Cangnan's chin: "Hurry up and drive, someone will see it in a while." ”

Zhou Cangnan was a little helpless, pinched Concubine Tao's nose, and started the car to leave.

When I went out of the village, I met Gao Yanmei again, this time Gao Yanmei simply turned her back, and waited for Zhou Cangnan and them to drive over, and then walked slowly towards the village.

In town, Concubine Tao bought four bananas, a few apples, and loose milk in bottles of distilled water.

This milk is freshly squeezed out of the morning by home, but it filters out the impurities floating on it. If you want to drink it at home, bring it to a boil and simmer for a few minutes.

Concubine Tao plans to use this milk to make a mask, which is cheaper than the bagged one, and pour out some of the rest to drink.

Zhou Cangnan bought four bananas when he saw Concubine Tao picking at the door, and suggested: "If you like to eat, you can buy more." ”

"No, no, besides, the skin is a little dark and I can't let it go." Concubine Tao bought it and hurriedly pushed Zhou Cangnan into the car.

After arriving home, Zhou Cangnan was busy making lunch, and Concubine Tao was busy tinkering with her mask.

A banana is mashed into a puree, then a little boiled milk and a few drops of honey can whiten and moisturize.

Concubine Tao made the mashed banana and milk thicker a little, but after the banana was oxidized, the color was so ugly that it was a little disgusting.

Zhou Cangnan looked at the bowl of poop-like things, and said hesitantly: "This...... Can you eat it? ”
