Chapter 80: Sac Firefly Steals Light

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! An Tieshi stretched out his hand and said intimidatingly: "You should know, how strong I am, in less than half a year in this gladiatorial arena, I have already become famous, if you dare to bully my sister, just wait to eat my fist!" ”

Zhang Zhenan was still laughing, how could he be willing to bully her.

An Xiu'er leaned on Zhang Zhen'an's arms and secretly wiped away her tears, then raised her head and said, "Big brother, do you plan to continue to be a gladiator?" ”

"Of course, I'm fine here, you don't have to worry." An Tieshi took two steps back and said: "Okay, it's not early, you guys go back quickly, remember to keep this matter secret for me, maybe I will be a gladiator for a few years, and I will go out in the future and join the army, maybe I can be a general and not necessarily." ”

"Big brother, do you believe what others fool you? How easy is it to enlist in the army and become a general? An Xiu'er glared at him and said: "When you exercise on weekdays, you can work harder, and when it's time for a real fight, don't be like a fool and rush forward, otherwise you think your name is really an iron man?" ”

"Okay, big brother knows." An Tieshi knew that she cared about herself, and he understood these truths, but many things, how could she follow her own wishes, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and said: "You don't know, we gladiators will only have money when they play, and the victor will not only enjoy glory, but also wealth and money." ”

"And what about the losers? Isn't this one in vain? Hurt in vain? ”

Although An Xiu'er understood his helplessness in her heart, she still couldn't help but argue like this, in fact, no matter where it is, even a small village values interests, not to mention a place like the gladiatorial arena, the gladiatorial arena does not support idlers, you can't create benefits for them, you can only be abandoned.

"Only when you get stronger and stronger will you not be knocked down." Zhang Zhenan also said something on the side, but obviously, this An Tieshi is not so powerful.

"Okay, don't worry, big brother has this strength, the people who fight with me are just this average strength, the number of fights I fight is low-odds gladiatorial fights, which are not very dangerous, and everyone also cherishes their bodies and lives very much, do we have those strong men raised by big families, and they generally don't knock to death."

An Tieshi comforted An Xiu'er and said: "Anyway, I usually have more wins and fewer losses now, and I will not let the gladiatorial arena abandon me, and I can also make a little money." ”

As he spoke, he took out a small bag from his bosom and said, "These coins are all earned by the eldest brother recently, you can take them home and give them to your father." ”

"You keep it, now that all the vegetables in the field have grown, the family is not so short of money, besides, there is me." An Xiu'er didn't reach out to take it, she didn't say some things, in fact, she was afraid that she would take the money, and if An Tieshi was injured, she would have no money to buy medicine.

But how could An Tieshi bear to let a married sister bear everything from her mother's family, he insisted on giving her the money, An Xiu'er shook her head again when she saw this, and said: "Okay, big brother, if I take your money, when the time comes, when I go back to ask my father, I will have to lie, you know, I won't lie, when the time comes, my father and mother will definitely be exposed." ”

Seeing that An Tieshi was a little hesitant, she took two steps back and said: "Okay, it's not early, let's go back first, big brother, don't die alone outside, you must tell your family if you have something, come back if you can't hold on, it doesn't matter what others think, although your father and mother also want you to be promising, but no matter what, your health and happiness are what we value the most, you know?" ”

"I understand, don't worry." An Tieshi nodded, grinned, and showed a mouthful of big white teeth at An Xiu'er.

An Xiu'er also chuckled, a pair of pear vortices at the corners of her mouth gently rippling, in fact, she was worried about how could he know.

When she turned to leave, An Xiuer couldn't help but come back and hug An Tieshi, An Tieshi touched her head and quickly let go of her.

He knew that the little sister he had loved since he was a child was now married to a wife, and between him and her, now there was a Zhang Zhen'an, and there was also a man and a woman who could not kiss, he actually wanted to hug her for a while, but how could he.

"Alright, girl, it's getting late, go back quickly." The fund was reluctant, but An Tieshi still had to urge her to leave.

"Then we'll go first." Zhang Zhenan came over to pull An Xiu'er's hand.

An Tieshi said: "Boy, take good care of my sister, if you dare to treat her badly, my fist is not vegetarian." ”

This is the second time he has said this, the daughters who marry are all thrown out of the water, not to mention, the sisters who marry out? In fact, he had no way to take Zhang Zhen'an, he could only throw down two useless threats, for Zhang Zhen'an, this was not a little shocking, but Zhang Zhen'an still nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry!" ”

An Tieshi was afraid that he was standing here, An Xiu'er was reluctant to go, so he simply turned around and went in first, An Xiu'er watched his back disappear from his eyes, and then left the gladiatorial arena with Zhang Zhen'an.

Near evening, there were a lot of people coming and going on the dock, the boats in the river came and went, it was bustling, the two got on the boat, and found that the cloth they had bought in the cloth shop before, the shopkeeper had already helped send it over, An Xiuer nodded, and there was nothing wrong, Zhang Zhenan saw this, so he put down the things in his hand and left the boat.

All the way home, the sky is getting later and later, the sunset seems to give the river a layer of golden light, sparkling, very good-looking, the sun gradually sets, the sunset renders the river red, like fire and blood.

When I came, I didn't think it would take long to go to the county seat, but when I returned, the time was a little longer, and An Xiuer saw that the sunset on the horizon was replaced by a crescent moon, and in the night, there were slowly more stars as decorations.

The night sky is very beautiful, deep and mysterious, inverted in this river, and the river water reflects each other, the moonlight sprinkles down, there are some more small stars in the river, the river breeze blows leisurely, two insects by the river, in this quiet summer night, it is very beautiful.

The sound of the water flowing with the oars is in her ears, the person shaking the oars next to her is tall, and the shadow is faint, An Xiu'er was originally a little afraid of the night, but tonight, all this seems to have a special beauty, she is not afraid at all, and even has the mood to appreciate the fireflies flying in the grass by the river.

In the quiet of the night, the boat moved slowly, with a smile on her face, and the two did not speak, everything was beautiful.

Finally, the two saw the lights on the shore, and An Xiuer knew that the two had arrived in the town, and after rowing for a short time, they had reached the village.

Zhang Zhen'an's house lives at the end of the village, the boat docks, naturally no one notices, only a few dogs barking in the distance, unknown insect chirping in the ears, everything seems so quiet, most of the villagers have slept, the whole village is shrouded in a faint moonlight, it is so quiet.

Although I played outside for a day today, the two of them were still a little tired when they came home, especially Zhang Zhen'an, who had been rocking the oars all the time, without pausing in the middle, but it was hard.

An Xiu'er rested for a while, ordered noodles for him to make dinner, ate his fill, washed up, and went to sleep.

For a few days, An Xiuer kept her mouth shut, and did not tell anyone about An Tieshi, as if she didn't know, in addition to cooking for Zhang Zhen'an every day, she was only busy working as a female worker, making quilts, sheets, and pillows from the faded fabrics she bought.

Although this thing is not very good for city people, but for country people, this fabric is not rotten, it is a good thing.

Even when she brought a quilt to Liang, Liang said that she was wasteful, and said: "Such a good fabric, you can use it to make a quilt, this quilt can be put together with clothes that can't be worn, where do you need to use such a good fabric." ”

An Xiu'er smiled and said nothing, listening to her nagging a lot, before she said: "This fabric is not a good material, it is very cheap in the county, so I specially bought a little more, which is specially used to make quilt covers." ”

Liang heard An Xiu'er say this, so he didn't say much, but when he met people, he said how good his daughter and son-in-law were, and An Xiu'er was a little embarrassed to praise, in her opinion, this is nothing, it is not easy for her father and mother to raise her, these are what she should do.

It's just that there are no conditions in the family, and they can only do this for them at present.

However, because she knew An Tieshi's situation in the county, she is now more frugal, she wants to make more money, and if one day, her eldest brother is really in trouble, she can also help him.

Because of this, she rarely even lights the oil lamp at night, but uses the method of stealing the light.

This method was inadvertently told to her by Zhang Zhenan, saying that there was a university scholar named Che Yin in the past, his family was poor, but he loved to read, in order to save some money for oil lamps, he caught fireflies and used them as candles for reading, and finally it really became the story of a generation of great writers.

When Zhang Zhenan told this story, the two were enjoying the shade in the courtyard, and the fireflies were flying in the yard, he originally wanted to find a topic to chat with An Xiu'er, so he told her such a story, who knew that An Xiu'er took it seriously, and immediately pulled him to catch fireflies.

The loofahs in the vegetable fields in the backyard of the two of them have grown, and there are a lot of fireflies, most of them are lying on the leaves, and they can be caught with a light grasp of their hands, and those insects that fly into the air, An Xiuer found a net, and she can catch a lot of them every time.

Although the light of this firefly is not very bright, but dozens of them add up, it can also be worth a candle, An Xiuer feels that this firefly is very good, unlike the oil lamp, the oil lamp is heavy, and after looking at it for a long time, it will make people's eyes hurt.

And they won't shine all night, usually in an hour or two, they will automatically go out, and they don't even need to blow the lamp, and when the light gradually dims, An Xiuer puts down the work in her hand and prepares to rest.
