Zhou Shuoran asked, "What's the matter?" Second Brother Tian? ”

Tian Guoliang looked embarrassed, "That's the case, isn't my family digging a shallow pond behind the house?" Our family decided to dig up the pond and make it into a fish pond. ”

Zhou Shuoran nodded, "Well, I know about it, Uncle Tian told me." ”

Tian Guoliang said again, "But do you know the truth of this? ”

Zhou Shuoran raised his eyebrows, "What truth?" ”

Tian Guoliang sighed heavily, and said with a sad face, "My parents' eldest brother and sister's jobs have been lost, and the whole family is counting on that fish pond to live." If we don't make any money from our fish pond, our whole family will have to beg for a living elsewhere, so we don't have time to take care of you now, we have to get up early to dig up the mud in the pond, this is the truth. ”

Zhou Shuoran looked at Tian Guoliang, "Second Brother Tian said that you want me to join your family to dig pond mud together?" ”

Tian Guoliang said in his heart, you kid is so smart!

He loved it.

"Then why are you embarrassed to ask for your help? You haven't dug in the mud, have you? Tian Guoliang waved his hand.

Zhou Shuoran nodded, "That's right, I haven't dug pond mud." ”

Tian Guoliang, "......"

This kid, is this down his steps?

Don't want to help again?

"Second Brother Tian, I'll leave for a while." Zhou Shuoran waved his hand at Tian Guoliang and walked towards the path in the team.

Tian Guoliang called out to him, "Zhou Shuoran, where are you going?" ”

"I'll be right back." Zhou Shuoran walked without looking back.

Tian Guoliang snorted coldly, "I know that this kid is a rich young master who can't endure hardship, okay, I know that life in the countryside is not easy, so let's leave early!" ”

Tian Miaoxiu walked over and saw Zhou Shuoran leaving, she asked Tian Guoliang suspiciously, "Second brother, what did you tell him just now?" Where did he go? ”

"How do I know? I told him to help my house dig mud, and he ran away. Hehehe——, this is for fear of hardship and avoidance. It's okay, I know that I will endure hardships, and I will leave in a few days. Tian Guoliang smiled, "Don't pay attention to him, we're busy with our own going." ”

Tian Guoliang went to the back of the house and then dug the pond mud.

Tian Xiuying also helped.

Tian Miaoxiu thought about it and quietly went to chase Zhou Shuoran.

I want to see what he's going to do.

Zhou Shuoran walked quickly.

Tian Miaoxiu almost used the speed of running to keep up.

In the end, she found that Zhou Shuoran walked into the house of the team leader Tian Dewang.

Zhou Shuoran can endure the hardships of the environment, but let him dig the pond mud himself, he will definitely not be able to bear it.

Is this to ask Tian Dewang for help?

Forget it, he retreated, and it would be better to go back earlier.

Tian Miaoxiu glanced at the door of the squad leader's house, quietly left, and walked back.

When she was about to get home, she met Aunt Gui Fen and Tian Xiangqin, who had come back from cutting pigweed.

Aunt Gui Fen smiled more enthusiastically than ever, "Miao Xiu, you have a guest at home." ”

"Oh yes." Tian Miaoxiu responded casually.

"He's from the city, isn't he?" Aunt Gui Fen looked at the door of Tian Miaoxiu's house, and asked with a smile.

"Well, he's from the provincial city, and he came here to paint and sketch." Tian Miaoxiu replied.

"Ah, he can draw, and my parsley likes to draw too." Aunt Gui Fen pushed her daughter Tian Xiangqin, "Xiangqin, take the picture book in a while, come to Miao Xiu's house to play, and follow the guests of Miao Xiu's house to learn to draw." ”

Tian Xiangqin muttered, "Mom, I don't ......" and wanted to paint.

Aunt Gui Fen didn't wait for her to finish, she raised her hand and slapped her, "Why don't you kid like to study?" Go back and get your coloring book! ”

Tian Xiangqin endured her grievances, "Got it, Mom." ”

Tian Miaoxiu is indispensable, "Parsley can come if you want." ”

"Okay, okay, then let's say it." Aunt Gui Fen happily carried a basket of pigweed and pulled her daughter home.

As soon as Tian Xiangqin entered the house, she complained, "Mom, I don't want to paint, what are you doing beating me?" ”

She didn't look good, and the art teacher said that she didn't paint Niu Si like it.

She wasn't born with an art cell.

Aunt Gui Fen dropped the basket and pushed her daughter into the house, "Go wash your face, change into beautiful clothes and wear them, and go to Miao Xiu's house with a picture book." ”

Tian Xiangqin asked puzzledly, "Mom, why do I need to change my clothes when I go to Miao Xiu's house?" ”

The clothes she is wearing today are similar to Miao Xiu's, and they are not uglier than Miao Xiu, why do you want to change them?

Aunt Gui Fen sneered angrily, and reached out to poke her daughter's forehead, "You stupid girl, a guest of Miao Xiu's family, but you are from the provincial capital, and it will be beneficial to make friends with the people in the provincial capital in the future." ”

"What's in it for you? I don't go to the provincial capital to study. Tian Xiangqin pursed her lips.

Aunt Gui Fen was even more angry when she saw her daughter's naïve appearance.

She lowered her voice and said, "The guest of Miao Xiu's house is a boy!" ”

"yes, I know, so what?" Tian Xiangqin felt that her mother was very strange today, and what she said didn't match the preamble.

She didn't understand.

"Oops, you're going to me off!" Aunt Gui Fen twisted her daughter's ear, "In short, you must make friends with the guests of Miao Xiu's family, if you don't go to the provincial city to study now, what will happen in the future?" What about going to the provincial capital in the future? There are benefits to knowing people in provincial towns. ”

Tian Xiangqin was annoyed, "Got it, Mom." "Let's say yes.

Aunt Gui Fen urged her daughter to wash her face and hands, helped her find a pink dress and new shoes, and pushed her out of the house.

Tian Xiangqin sighed, held the unused picture book issued by the school, took a pencil, and went to Tian Miaoxiu's house.

Tian Miaoxiu was in the kitchen, watching Liu Lamei make fish balls.

Zhou Shuoran came back with a fish, and was just about to learn to make fish balls, but after listening to what Tian Guoliang said, he went out.

In the summer, there is no refrigerator at home, and the fish that are killed cannot be stored for a long time.

Liu Lamei had no choice but to make her own fish balls.

After removing the skin, she scraped the flesh little by little with a knife.

Tian Xiangqin walked into the kitchen, "Miao Xiu, where are your guests?" ”

Tian Miaoxiu turned around and found that Tian Xiangqin had changed her clothes, washed her face, and combed her hair again.

The little girl is dressed up beautifully.

"I'm not at home, I've gone out, and I haven't come back yet." Tian Miaoxiu said.

However, as soon as her words fell, she heard Zhou Shuoran's voice outside the kitchen, "Uncle Tian, Aunt Tian, Second Brother Tian!" ”

"What's wrong?" Liu Lamei looked out the window and sighed, "What is this kid doing with so many people?" ”

She cleaned up the fish from her hands and walked outside the kitchen.

Tian Miaoxiu and Tian Xiangqin followed and walked out.

Tian Guoliang, who was drinking water in the hall, heard the sound outside the house and also came to see.

"This is ......, Zhou Shuoran, what are you bringing these people for?" Tian Guoliang pointed to the one or twenty people following behind Zhou Shuoran and asked curiously.

These are all people on the team.

The big guy is either carrying a shovel or a dustpan for miscellaneous items.

Some also wore waist-length rain boots.

"Second Brother Tian just said that he wanted me to help dig the pond mud, but I won't dig it. I thought that the matter of the fish pond could not be delayed, so I found some people to come and help. Zhou Shuoran pointed to the person who came with him.

Liu Lamei's eyes widened in shock, "Ah, we can't afford labor costs." ”

"I'm out." Zhou Shuoran said.
