Walking along the dirt road step by step, carrying a backpack full of fat and tender weeds, unaware of the hardships of labor, a happy smile rippled on Wang Xiaocong's face.

"Yo, little worm, went out to work with your own parents? Still full of energy, haha, not bad, good guy! ”

A rough voice came down from the ridge on the side of the mud and stone path, and Uncle Wang Ye, who was strong and had a good strength, showed his figure.

The little insect is Wang Xiaocong's nickname, which was originally supposed to be called Xiao Congzi, but when he screamed, the little insect was more pleasant, so it was handed down.

Wang Xiaocong showed a simple and pure smile towards Wang Ye, "I have to follow along, otherwise what if my mother doesn't give me food?" ”

Wang's mother glared at her silly son, and said angrily: "The old lady has raised you so much, and for so many years, is it really less than how many mouthfuls of food you have?" If you don't say I'll give you food, then you won't eat at noon today! ”

Wang Xiaocong hurriedly said to forgive, and said bitterly: "My mother-in-law, isn't this just a joke, no, not ......"

Dad was gloating on the side, tsk, this stupid son, dare to tease your mother, I really don't know how to write the word dead or alive.

Wang Ye on the ridge laughed, "Okay, okay, what do you do in front of me, is it possible that I still don't know the status of your family?" ”

Wang Xiaocong and Wang's father showed honest and polite smiles, thank you so much for your understanding.

Uncle Wang Ye smiled again, bowed down and went on with his business.

"Ah, the little insect is good, this shoulder has strength, after a few years of exercise, our village will have a strong young man."

"Wang's father and Wang's mother, does the little insect have a daughter-in-law? Let me tell you, my daughter has a lot of strength, and she has a big butt and is good to give birth to, and she can definitely give birth to a big fat boy, do you want to consider it? ”

"In the blink of an eye, the little insects are so big, hahaha, when I saw it before, it was still a little doll of more than one meter."

"If you have time to be a guest at home, remember to bring the little bugs, tsk, I haven't thought of this before, this looks like it at first glance, it's quite tough."

Along the way, the villagers who met Wangjiaao were all good-natured braggarts, greeting and greeting, just like a family.

Wang Xiaocong and Wang's father and mother also responded kindly, especially when it came to some matters related to their daughter-in-law, the couple looked at Wang Xiaocong tacitly.

Wang Xiaocong looked embarrassed, I'm still young, isn't it a bit early to discuss lifelong events for me so early?

Fortunately, the seven aunts, eight aunts, and nine aunts are also joking, otherwise it will really be implemented, Wang Xiaocong feels like a pill.

Approaching the small mud and wood house, I saw Uncle Wang who was about to go to the small pond to wash his handles.

Wang Erbo's home is the closest to Wang Xiaocong's house, which is door-to-door, the same mud and wood hut, almost facing each other.

At the corner of the two houses, there is a small pond with a width of about two meters and a length of more than ten meters, the water depth is only half a meter, and there may be many small fish fry in it.

Above the small pond, a huge peach tree is lush with leaves, covering the small pond with greenery.

Beneath the peach trees on the shore are two whetstones, still smooth and translucent, apparently from a recent use.

Wang Erbo looked at Wang Xiaocong's family, especially when he saw Wang Xiaocong's miserable appearance, and said happily: "How is the little bug?" Bashithia? ”

Wang Xiaocong smiled bitterly and snorted: "The second uncle is not making fun of me, it's not that you can't see me like this." ”

Wang Erbo walked to the edge of the small pool, washed his hands, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just get used to it if you do more, when you have calluses on your hands, your skin hardens, and your waist becomes thicker, it won't be so painful." ”

Wang Xiaocong smiled innocently, "I'll be the second uncle encouraging me." ”

After Wang Erbo washed his hands, he wiped two handfuls on his body, walked to Wang Xiaocong's side, and patted two handfuls on his shoulder, but his body, which didn't look very strong, rushed out with a strong force.

Wang Xiaocong's legs were weak, and he almost didn't fall and sat down, looking at Wang Erbo pitifully.

Wang Erbo laughed, "Young man, teach you to be a good man, don't be careful in front of the elders, especially when your kid's strength has not yet been born." ”

Wang's mother glanced at Wang Erbo, "His second uncle, is it interesting to bully children like this?" ”

Wang Erbo smiled and said in an urn voice: "What are you talking about my brother and sister, didn't I teach this child how to behave in the world?" Third brother, don't you say? ”

Dad Wang said weakly: "Don't ask me, I don't know anything, what my daughter-in-law says is what it is." ”

This time it was Wang Erbo's turn to roll his eyes, glared at Wang's father angrily, and muttered: "No ambition!" And let the woman take care of it. ”

"Hehe, I will pass this sentence to the second sister-in-law as it is, I hope that the second brother will be so tough when the time comes." Wang Ma Yin and Yang strange aura.

Uncle Wang hissed and gasped, showed a powerful expression to Wang Ma, and said haha: "Joke, what are you really doing, little worm, work hard, I believe you will definitely become a cadre of Wang Jiaao!" ”

Wang Erbo cheered up and ran away.

Wang Xiaocong looked up to the sky and sighed, when will the man in Wangjiaao stand up!

Or I'm wise, I didn't think about marrying a daughter-in-law, Wang Xiaocong smiled silently.

Wang's father and Wang's mother glanced at Wang Xiaocong in surprise, could this child be stupid by his second uncle?

Fortunately, Wang Xiaocong recovered quickly, which made the couple breathe a sigh of relief, and they almost went to find his second uncle to pay for the medical expenses.

Back at home, the lunch was extraordinarily rich, which seemed to be a reward for Wang Xiaocong's hard work.

A bowl of brown rice mixed with rice bran dregs, a plate of green and faint wild vegetables fried bacon, the oily gloss of the bacon makes the dish shine, making people feel like they have a great appetite at first glance.

The two of them glanced at each other, with tears in their eyes, it was not easy, this is simply the treatment of the New Year's holidays!

Wang Ma snorted coldly and said: "I finally cleaned up the weeds in advance, and brought back a batch of fresh and tender feed, this meal will be regarded as a reward, only this once, otherwise our family will drink porridge every day." ”

The two of them nodded again and again, yes, what you said is right, you can start eating, right?

Looking at the affectionate eyes of the two of them, Wang Ma smiled angrily, "Let's eat." ”

Suddenly, the three of them stretched out two crude wooden sticks like lightning at the same time, grabbed a piece of glittering salted meat, and put it in their mouths, full of emotion.

Two small and one large and three pieces of bacon were harmoniously divided by a family of three, and then happily finished lunch and went to take a nap.

At one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the hot sun was in the sky, and the fiery sunlight shot down like lasers, and the ethereal steaming wisps overflowed.

The air was hot and humid, and after just a few moments of lying down, fatigue crept in.

I slept in a daze, and my coarse linen clothes were stained with water traces.

In hot weather, it is a very happy thing to be able to fall asleep, and waking up with sweat-soaked clothes is just a trivial matter.

Rising from the wooden bed, he opened the door, and there was another creaking and screeching sound.

At this time, in the hall, Wang's father and mother had already gotten up at an unknown time, and were sorting out a batch of prepared bamboo strips to weave some bamboo utensils.

Whether it is for personal use or to exchange with relatives and friends in the col, it is a good choice to take out and sell the bamboo utensils.

Wang Xiaocong yawned slightly and muttered, "Mom, Dad, why don't you call me?" ”

Wang's father and Wang's mother were doing their own things, and Wang's father smiled and said, "Doesn't this see that you sleep very soundly?" You don't know much about this weaving technique, and it's just a mess for you to help. ”

Wang Ma squinted and glanced at Wang Xiaocong, and said lightly: "Have a good rest in the afternoon, look at the scars on your body, if you make a bloody mouth or something when weaving, you have to wait for you to recover slowly, what about the rest of the work?" ”

"Uh......" A few black lines appeared on Wang Xiaocong's forehead, he was really a father and mother, one disliked himself for helping, and the other felt that the benefits were not proportional......

However, Wang Xiaocong still heard a sense of concern from the mouths of the two, but it was just an excuse for him to rest more.

But Wang Xiaocong skillfully pulled a bamboo stick and said with a smile: "Really, why don't you believe me?" I promise to make it up quickly and well, and it won't hurt me. ”

Wang's father and mother glanced at each other, both showing helplessness, this kid is stubborn, let him rest, and he wants to find guilt.

Since this kid wants to interfere, let him be.

A family of three began to concentrate on weaving, which was a batch of small bamboo baskets predetermined in the col, and assigned to several families to do together.

There is plenty of time, and there are only a hundred or so of each family, but they are given a month to complete it.

And the remuneration is also generous, more than a hundred dollars, an average of more than a penny, for the people in Wangjiaao, it is a big lucrative job.

That is, Wang Ma worked hard to grab it, and for this reason, she also promised to give benefits to many relatives and friends in the col.

Speaking of this weaving craft alone, Wang Xiaocong is too young after all, he has not gone through much experience, the speed is much slower than Wang's father and mother, and the quality is also worse.

The woven bamboo baskets, and many branches stretched out with teeth and claws, looked extremely ugly.

On the other hand, Wang Xiaocong's father and mother, Wang Xiaocong has knitted nearly two of them when they knit one, and they are tightly knit and much more beautiful.

Wang Xiaocong smiled, Wang's father and mother didn't bother to pay attention to him, so they took bamboo sticks to increase his experience, which was also a good craft.

In Wangjiaao, if you don't know how to weave bamboo, then you are not an orthodox Wangjiaao person.

The pure ecological Wangjiaao is full of mountains, trees, bamboos and water, and everyone is a good hand of strength and a variety of exquisite craftsmanship.

Maybe not as good as the pure masters of the craft, but definitely better than many hawkers.

Just as Wang Xiaocong cheered himself up and was about to start weaving the second bamboo basket, there was a dinging sound in his head, and the inexplicable voice sounded again.

"Task one, weaving bamboo, three people, four percent of the task completion, including four high-quality products, one inferior product, and ten rewards for weaving experience."

Wang Xiaocong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt as if his body had a wonderful feeling, as if he had woven more than ten more bamboo baskets.

Wang Xiaocong's eyes showed a hint of surprise, a little inexplicable, trying to weave the second bamboo basket, and found that it was indeed much faster, and the quality was slightly improved.

It may still be much worse than Wang's parents, Wang's mother, and even many hawkers, but the progress has been very obvious.

After all, Wang's father and mother have been weaving bamboo for more than ten or twenty years, which is of course much better than Wang Xiaocong's new contact.

As Wang Xiaocong and Wang's father and mother weaved bamboo baskets one by one, the inexplicable voice also kept sounding in Wang Xiaocong's head.

"Eight percent completion, eight high-quality products, two inferior products, and ten percent of weaving experience will be rewarded."

"Thirteen percent completion, twelve high-quality products, two inferior products, one ordinary one, and fifteen experience awards."

"Twenty-five percent completion, twenty high-quality products, five ordinary products, three inferior products, and thirty years of weaving experience are rewarded."

……

One afternoon, Wang Xiaocong magically found that his progress speed was so amazing that he had reached the level of a hawker outside.

Compared with Wang's father and Wang's mother, it is still far behind, but it is also half of the level, which makes Wang's father and mother very surprised.

glanced at each other, all of them showed inexplicable colors, could it be that their own kid actually has a lot of talent in weaving bamboo?

I didn't find it before, but the key is that I didn't let Wang Xiaocong weave bamboo before.

During the most difficult period of the afternoon, a family of three completed a third of the bamboo task, and Wang Xiaocong himself could be regarded as an ordinary craftsman for some reason.
