Mengzi and the others were naturally very happy when they heard Zhang Tao's father's words, and asked Zhang Tao one by one what he planned to arrange in the afternoon.

Zhang Tao felt a little embarrassed, everyone was busy in the double robbery season, but he led this big group of people to make trouble, is this like a word? Aren't the folks pointing fingers behind their backs? Besides, on such a hot day, the heat is so hot, where do you go to play, what do you play? The place where the downward rush is the size of a palm, and it only takes two hours to complete the rotation in a circle.

Zhang Tao thought hard for a while, but still made a decision. "I'll take you to do one thing in the afternoon, keep it so that you can have fun and eat satisfied, and you can come back with a bag of gifts for each of you!" Zhang Tao said in a tricky way.

"What's the matter? Brother Tao, can you reveal it first? Everyone asked excitedly.

"Didn't you know if you went in the afternoon?" Zhang Tao smiled and didn't say anything further. It's always more appealing to have a little suspense about something.

After eating lunch, everyone put down the bowl and enthusiastically urged Zhang Tao to start acting quickly.

Zhang Tao took them to the barnhouse, pointed to the pile of things that had been prepared by the arranger for dinner, and said to them: "Everyone take off their shoes and choose a pair of liberation shoes that suit them from here to wear." Each of these baskets is one for each of them, and it and the plastic bags inside are for you to hold gifts. There was a long-sleeved shirt in the back basket, which I would wear when I went up the mountain. ”

After a pause, he said to Xue'er again: "Xue'er, you can carry that little fish basket." ”

Everyone was suspicious, but they also knew that Zhang Tao was deliberately hanging their taste, and it was in vain to ask him now.

After everyone packed up, they set off under Zhang Tao's order.

At noon in the scorching summer, the sky was clear blue, the sun hung like a fireball, and the clouds seemed to be burned by the sun, and disappeared without a trace. It was so hot that even dragonflies dared to fly close to the shade of the trees, as if they were afraid that the sun would hurt their wings. The bird didn't know where to hide. The plants and trees were all depressed, as if they were dying. Only that knows, and keeps screaming on the branches, it is really a broken gong and a broken drum to cheer for the scorching sun!

Although the weather is so hot, in order to survive, in order to get ashore as soon as possible, there are still many villagers in the field who are busy, and from time to time there will be some villagers who are in a hurry, or call it a day and go home to eat, or rush to work in the field.

Zhang Tao is often still far away, so he warmly and actively greets the villagers. There are also various titles, uncle, uncle, uncle, aunt, aunt, brother, sister, etc.

"Brother Tao, why do you have so many relatives?" Xue'er, who had never been far from Zhang Tao, asked curiously.

Zhang Tao smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "How can I have so many relatives? Am I not respecting people? ”

"Wow! Then you're too good at acting! Whoever hears you shouting so affectionately will think it's your relative. The fat man said jokingly.

Mengzi also said suspiciously: "Respecting people is nothing more than a few titles such as uncle, uncle, aunt, etc., how can you shout so many titles?" ”

Seeing that such a trivial matter was also worthy of their curiosity, Zhang Tao was a little amused in his heart. However, when I thought that I was in such a hurry anyway, it was better to talk and relieve my boredom. So he patiently explained to them, "I am very particular about my title, and I can't shout it indiscriminately." It's good to say the same surname, just shout it directly according to the generation. The other surnames are a bit more complicated, and they have to be shouted according to the relationship between my parents' relatives or relatives' relatives. It can be said that the name of everyone in the village is calculated in this way, and if this title is shouted, it will not only attract laughter, but also make the elders angry. ”

"It's so complicated!" Everyone sighed in unison.

"That's right! When I was a child, my parents pointed at this and shouted something, and their heads were big. Sometimes when I meet an elder on the road, it takes a long time to remember what to shout, but when I open my mouth to shout, the elder leaves early. However, after shouting and shouting, I became familiar with it and got used to it. Zhang Tao's words made everyone laugh.

"No wonder your mouth is so sweet, that's how you shouted." The fat man quipped.

"It seems that the countrymen are more polite." The stick old man exclaimed.

Zhang Tao laughed twice and said proudly: "That's indeed the case." Although the city is prosperous, rich and civilized, the Chinese civilization left by many ancestors is often gradually abandoned and forgotten in the city, but it takes root and prospers in the countryside. From this point alone, country people are much more civilized than city people. ”

"It's too sideways!" Mengzi shouted unconvinced.

"It's just so paranoid!" The fat man also followed to defend the dignity of the city people.

Zhang Tao felt the need to teach these self-righteous city people a good lesson, and he continued to talk eloquently, "What is the biggest difference between the countryside and the city? I thought it wasn't the glamorous lights, not the high-rise buildings, but the hearts of the people. The hearts of the people in the city are cold, while the hearts of the people in the countryside are warm. This sounds very uncomfortable to you. What do you live in the city? That's a coffin box made of reinforced concrete. Although a family is close at hand, it is far away from the end of the world, and old and dead do not get along. What is separated by steel and concrete is not only people, but also hearts, feelings, and even family and friendship. What is written on everyone's face is indifference, and what is pretended to be indifferent in their hearts is the same. The most precious emotion that distinguishes those people from animals is just the false smile that hangs on the corners of everyone's mouth. Do you think it's fun to live like this? ”

Zhang Tao glanced at these people with disdain, and then said, "Don't you feel a special atmosphere here with me? That is warmth, harmony, and harmony. The hearts of the villagers are not separated by barriers, their hearts are open, their feelings are flowing, and a village is a big family. When everyone meets each other, no matter how tired and distressed they are, they will show a warm smile. ”

In the past two days, they have seen and heard what they have seen and heard in Xiachong, and they really feel that what Zhang Tao said has a certain truth, so they did not speak out against it, and they all fell into contemplation, as if they were thinking about why this situation occurred.
