"Huh? A little...a little bit."
When she was little, she saw her grandpa planting. When she got older, she helped her grandpa do the planting, but she was always assisted and allowed to do it on her own. She didn't have the courage to say that she could do it.
"A little is enough." Zhang Xueqing beamed, "Have you seen the open space in the yard outside? What do you think is suitable for planting?"
Xu Aili looked out through the window. One side of the corridor was filled with all kinds of vegetables. Some of them were about to be planted, while the other side had been cleared out. At the moment, it was clean and empty. A little clutter.
"I heard from grandpa that we are going to grow radishes at home. How about, sister Xueqing, you also grow some radishes?"
The little girl tentatively gave some advice. This was what grandpa said last night. It was going to rain continuously, so we had to dig out the potatoes at home and plant radishes in the ground before it rained.
When she first came in, there were some potato seedlings on the roadside that had not been cleaned up yet. They must have been freshly turned potatoes.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. When the rain stops, I'll buy seeds."
Then he looked at the girl's obviously excited eyes and continued,
"As for this piece of land, you have to help me plant it in the future. You have also seen my sister's legs. You won't be cruel enough to let me get such a big piece of land by myself. I don't know how to do it at all, so I have to give it to you. Processing money.”
The little girl felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, her hands kept shaking in front of her chest, "No, no, that's not the case. My sister also gave me a bicycle. I'm not very good at farming either. It’s okay for us to discuss it together, but I absolutely cannot accept wages.”
Neither of them gave in, and finally bargained and reached an agreement, 100 yuan per month.
What Zhang Xueqing thinks is that since she doesn't charge money, she should get some delicious food for her children every time, and she must take more supplements to avoid malnutrition.
What Xu Aili thinks is, then I will come early every week to help my sister do more work, and I must not make my sister tired.
The two happily signed the agreement.
Zhang Xueqing was very lucky to have brought the printer back, thinking that it might be useful when drawing. Unexpectedly, the first thing that came out turned out to be a labor contract.
After sending Xu Aili away, Zhang Xueqing sat slumped in front of the bay window, thinking about what happened recently, and couldn't help but complain about herself.
They agreed to come back and live their own lives, and try not to come into contact with the villagers here. First, they attached themselves to Xinxin, who couldn't be chased away, and now they brought back Xiaoli. It was so lively that she was reluctant to leave.
It rained for three days at a time.
"Dad, dad, look, the big red flower."
Due to the force majeure of the weather, all the children were on vacation. Xinxin took out the big red flower in her schoolbag and excitedly gave it to Meng Fansen.
"Where did it come from?" This big red flower made of fabric is not something you can get easily, and your mind accidentally thought of the woman next door.
Xinxin held the flower in front of her chest with both hands, lowered her head and smelled it, "The teacher rewarded me for being the biggest in the class."
Meng Zihang, who was studying alone on the side, became interested and said, "Hey, what did our Xinxin do? The teacher rewarded us with such a big red flower."
He remembered that when he got the reward, Xinxin was very envious when he saw it, so he gave it to Xinxin. The little girl happily promised that if she got a reward when she went to school, she would be the first to give it to her brother.
"Painting, it's painting. Xinxin's painting is the best in the class this time." The little girl's face was so excited that she kept running around holding the flower.
Meng Fansen suddenly remembered the last time when this girl cried because of a painting. It didn't take long for her to win first place?
"Who are you going to give this big red flower from Xinxin to?"
Meng Zihang was full of expectations. This was the first time his sister had given him something, so he had to treasure it well.
Xinxin took the flowers and ran to Meng Fansen. She smiled, turned around and ran away, and came to Meng Zihang again.
A red flower the size of an adult's fist stood between the brother and sister. Sure enough, compared to her father, the sister still loved him as her brother more.
Meng Zihang raised his hand and was about to pick it up when the little girl turned around and ran back to her schoolbag. She stuffed the flowers into her schoolbag and said excitedly, "I want to give them to auntie."
The expressions of both father and son were startled.
Meng Fansen was okay, after all, he knew how much Xinxin liked the woman next door, and that woman had done a lot to get the flower. Xinxin knew how to be grateful and was very kind, so she nodded and agreed.
The smile suddenly disappeared from my brother's face. Why was it that woman again?
Her father loves to run to her, and he can't control it. Even his sister's heart has been seduced by that woman. If this continues, they will have a stepmother.
Uncle Gangzi said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, and he doesn't want that.
Putting down the book in his hand, he opened the door and left the room.
He had to think hard about how to drive that woman away.
Seeing his son leave the room with a displeased expression, he told Xinxin to do his homework well, and then chased him out.
The heavy rain outside showed no sign of stopping. The mountains in the distance seemed to be shrouded in mist, appearing and disappearing as the wind and rain increased.
The boy stood under the eaves, looking down the slope in trance.
"I don't care what you are thinking, put away your thoughts as soon as possible. She is different from those women. Don't think that I don't know what you have done before."
Meng Fansen lectured directly as soon as he arrived, with a terrifyingly tough attitude, and an aura of chilling pressure on Meng Zihang. The boy immediately shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head and did not dare to look in that direction.
He thought he was doing it very secretly, but he didn't expect that his father knew everything.
Hearing that someone wanted to introduce someone to his father, he was so angry that he took advantage of the darkness and smashed the glass of that family's house. Although he was hit by something and fell down on the way back, the family never came again. , it’s worth it.
There is also that shameless woman who even told her that her father was not at home. She still insisted on coming into the house to have a look. When she went to work, she wanted to clean his shoes. If he didn't bite her, it would be a long time for her. Be strong.
…
"I know." The boy responded and went back to his room to continue his homework.
Meng Fansen ignored the child. At 12 years old, it was time for him to become rebellious. When he was that old, he was even more naughty than that brat.
Braving the rain, we arrived at the corner at the top of the slope. From this angle, we could just see the house. People who usually like to sit in the yard didn't know what they were doing in the room at this time?
She hasn't seen anyone for three days. Did she eat well?
Is there a kang or not? Is the room cold?
…
The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became. I walked quickly to the warehouse, took out two red sausages and a few pieces of frozen meat from the rows of refrigerators, picked up the umbrella by the wall, and walked out the door.
