Liu Qiao'er was swinging her legs and eating the ice cream in the wooden bucket leisurely, her face was full of comfort, Chu Chu and Tie Zhu's half of their faces were covered with ice cream watermarks, only Liu Dahua stretched her neck and looked into the distance uneasily.

She was worried that Xu Xiaoxiao would be bullied by the villagers, she still knew the people in the village after living in the village for decades, most of them were honest and honest people, and only some of the peasant women who married her liked to bully people with foreign surnames.

"Xiaoxiao, where have you been, I'm worried about death." Liu Dahua complained unhappily when she saw Xu Xiaoxiao coming back with a relaxed pace.

"It's okay, so I went to do something." Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and jumped on the board car lightly, and winked at Liu Qiao'er.

Liu Qiaoer, who received the code, quickly finished the ice cream, found the needle and thread from the baggage, and handed it to Liu Dahua: "Auntie, take it, it will be of great use later." ”

Liu Dahua took the needle and thread puzzled, half puzzled, looked up and saw Liu Qiaoer's indecent smile, pretended to be angry and slapped her on the back.

"It's old, it's not serious." As he spoke, he laughed and carefully placed the needle and thread beside him.

Tie Zhu squinted at Liu Qiao'er and Xu Xiaoxiao with a spoon in his mouth, raised his little hand and opened the translator: "Hey, have you found anything?" ’

Xu Xiaoxiao looked back at Tiezhu's immature voice, hugged him in his arms with a smile, and buried his head in his arms: "Is it delicious?" Not enough, there is enough ice cream tube today. ”

Chu Chu, who was mouthing Bazz, saw that Xu Xiaoxiao was in a good mood, let out a simple smile, and her two baby teeth were exposed, cute and cute.

It's inexplicable. Tie Zhu disliked it in every way and pushed away Xu Xiaoxiao, who was squeezing him, with a straight face, sighing helplessly.

"Can't you just look like a child?" Xu Xiaoxiao raised his head and pinched Tie Zhu's face and complained.

Liu Qiao'er hugged Chu Chu and smiled and watched Xu Xiaoxiao and Tie Zhu playing, Liu Dahua shook his head while laughing, although he was helpless on his face, he was not to mention how happy he was.

Li Zheng Liu Huzi walked to the location of Xu Xiaoxiao's camp with the villagers holding the oilcloth, and it took him a lot of effort to persuade every household to take out the excess oilcloth, at first everyone was unhappy, but with Liu Mengzhou and Liu Minzhou joining, the villagers with worries and distress finally agreed to contribute.

After an hour of door-to-door lobbying, he finally collected a small part of the tarpaulin, looking at the few tarpaulins, Liu Huzi's heart was full of uneasiness, and he didn't know if these tarpaulins could be made into a tent, he didn't dare to ask for two, thinking that one would do, everyone took turns to rest in the tent, it was better than being exposed to the scorching sun.

"Uncle Lizheng." Liu Qiaoer saw Li Zheng and the others walking towards them first, jumped out of the car easily, and waved her hand happily.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Dahua looked at Liu Qiao'er's voice, and Liu Huzi was followed by dozens of people, each holding a roll of oilcloth in their hands, and rushed to them majestically.

"Xiaoxiao, it's all oilcloth gathered by everyone here, you can see how to get it." Li Zheng Liu Huzi leaned sideways to make a way, and Liu Mengzhou and the others put the oilcloth in front of Xu Xiaoxiao one by one.

Liu Qiao'er immediately squatted down and counted the oilcloth on the ground, Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at it and walked to Liu Huzi and said, "Li Zheng, can you summon a woman who knows how to sew here in half an hour." ”

Recruiting women has always been Aunt Li's specialty, and it is not difficult to ask for it, and of course she is happy and promised.

After explaining, Liu Huzi, Liu Mengzhou and others went back to inform their wives to join Xu Xiaoxiao.

"It's only 50 volumes here, and 50 volumes need to be added." Liu Qiao'er turned her head sideways and said to Xu Xiaoxiao quietly after watching the crowd disperse.

Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her thin lips and squatted down, flipped over the oilcloth, looked around to make sure that no one was looking in their direction, and took out the remaining 50 rolls from the space under the cover of the cart.

The location where they camped was far away from the villagers, and the oilcloth collected by the villagers was placed next to the cart, and the scattered part of the tarpaulin had rolled under the cart.

The oilcloth that was originally piled up on the hill turned into a mountain in an instant, and Sister-in-law Li came with the woman smiling, and they heard that there was work to do, so that everyone could have a place to shade the sun, so they all brought their own needles and threads to help.

"Tiny, here we are." Aunt Li smiled and brought many women to come.

"Sister-in-law, I worked hard to put 50 pieces of oilcloth together and sewed them together, and then I could put the rest of the oilcloth together." Xu Xiaoxiao greeted Aunt Li warmly, pointing to the oilcloth on the ground and explaining them one by one.

Without saying a word, the women who were accustomed to rough work lifted the oilcloth to find an open space and spread out the rolls of oilcloth, while the skillful women picked up the needle and thread and began to sew, and Liu Dahua also joined the sewing team.

Although the weather was hot, the woman was in a good mood at the thought that there would be shelter from the wind and rain on the road after that, and she was not ambiguous at all when she started her work, and she laughed and joked about gossip.

Every household has an oilcloth, but there is not much oilcloth, and everyone is reluctant to take it out as a tent, no matter day and night, they can only use the ground as a bed and the sky as a quilt, even if it rains, they only take a hat to cover it.

Adults endured it, but where can the children stand it, many children's physique is getting worse and worse in the long run, and this time everyone took out the oilcloth, which can be regarded as relieving the sorrow in their hearts.

The women worked and the men had to intervene, and they gathered together in the distance to discuss the matter of finding a water source, and Liu Huzi did not come to check on Xu Xiaoxiao was relieved.

She was also worried that Liu Huzi came to see that the number of oilcloth was twice as large as before and asked her to question, but fortunately, the woman's hands and feet were nimble, and in less than half an hour, most of the oilcloth had been spread out, and it was impossible to distinguish the quantity.

Xu Xiaoxiao took out the leaves she had collected before and folded them into water cups, poured the water from the kettle into the leaves, and distributed it to the sweating women with Liu Qiaoer.

"Ouch, little girl, you don't need to give us water if you don't have water in your house." Aunt Xu swallowed her saliva when she saw the water handed to her, and waved her hand to resist the urge to take it.

The other women also waved their hands and rejected Liu Qiaoer's kindness, everyone knows that water is the root of life now, lack of food can only lack of water, there are still hundreds of kilometers to reach Anle Town, Liu Dahua's family is old and young, if there is no water, I am afraid that they will not be able to get to the town.

"It's okay, I'll look for water in the mountains next to me later." Xu Xiaoxiao directly put the water in Aunt Xu's hand and left with a smile.

Seeing this, Liu Qiaoer also distributed what she had in her hand, and the women looked at each other and took it embarrassedly.

"Water is really key now." Liu Qiao'er came to Xu Xiaoxiao's side and said sadly.
