"Da Shan is in good spirits today. He's still awake at this hour." During normal times, Zhang Dashan's snoring was loud enough.
Yan Xiao'an smiled and said, "I didn't call him Toy Greedy. I happened to be a favor and asked him to write his name and memorize the poem and give it to him."
"Are you asking him to carry it out tomorrow?"
When Yan Qiuyu said this, he was obviously very confused, mainly because he knew Zhang Dashan too well.
When Zhang Dashan's father secretly told him that he must teach his son, he was embarrassed to shirk it. After all, other people's children had indeed suffered a lot from him.
But it was only when Yan Qiuyu wanted to teach him that he realized that for this person, it was good to have the will to fight against fate, but he still had to act according to his ability, so later he just arranged some homework intentionally.
It's totally okay to not care about anything.
"No."
"Then why doesn't he sleep?"
"Oh, maybe he forgot to ask, and I forgot to say it too." Yan Xiao'an looked innocent, and Yan Qiuyu couldn't say a harsh word, "You, you, he has been tired for the whole day, you say Why are you trying to trick him? He's so crazy."
"hey-hey."
Yan Qiuyu just waved his hand, and the candles in Zhang Dashan's house were extinguished by themselves, and he got into bed by himself and began to purr.
"Ah..." A sharp voice came from Zhang Dashan's room early in the morning.
When Yan Xiaoan left the room, Zhang Dashan also came out of his room in annoyance, muttering all the time: "When did I fall asleep? It's over."
"What's over?" Yan Xiaoan looked at him worriedly.
"I haven't memorized the poem yet."
"Huh..." Yan Xiaoan breathed a sigh of relief and sat over, "I was shocked. I thought it was over. Isn't it just that I didn't memorize the poem? What a big deal."
"Yes, but didn't we agree that if I memorize the poem, you would give me the toy from yesterday?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. I'll give it to you as soon as you finish carrying it, but I didn't say you have to carry it today."
Zhang Dashan: "Really?"
"You two hurry up and wash your faces so that you can eat. There is still a lot of work in the fields, so there is no time to talk nonsense." Yan Qiuyu roared softly, and the two of them ran out in a hurry.
After breakfast, Zhang Dashan went out first with the basket on his back, while Yan Xiaoan and Yan Qiuyu packed it away at home.
"I may have to go on a long trip in a few days." Yan Qiuyu put away the dishes and chopsticks, and Yan Xiaoan took the unfinished items to the kitchen.
"Are you going by yourself?" Yan Xiaoan felt a little strange when he asked. After all, according to his master's temperament, he probably wouldn't leave him here alone.
Yan Qiuyu nodded and explained, "It's not appropriate for you to follow me on this matter."
Yan Qiuyu didn't tell Yan Xiaoan because he didn't feel at ease at all, and he was even more afraid that taking Yan Xiaoan with him would make her see things she shouldn't see, so he thought it would be better to go alone as an expedient. .
"Okay, master says it's not appropriate, then I'll just stay at home. Will I be gone for a long time?"
"It only takes three to five days at most."
A round trip doesn't take much time for Yan Qiuyu, and there are still almost five months before the incident happened.
But Yan Qiuyu had calculated that the time of the disaster was long before that, and at this time, he just wanted to confirm it.
"I put your favorite books on the bookshelf and marked them for you. I heard they said that there will be some vaudeville and other opera singers in the next few days. If you are bored, let Zhang Dashan take you there."
"Just leave me alone and just keep busy with your business. Is it related to those souls?" Yan Xiaoan's voice was a little soft at the end.
Yan Qiuyu glanced at her meaningfully and nodded.
By the time the master and apprentice finished their work and went up the mountain, the entire paddy field was already full of people. Yan Xiaoan counted, and including Zhang Dashan, there were eight people.
Then I thought about how I had nodded and hunched over tiredly with Zhang Dashan two days ago, and I felt very stupid. On the other hand, I felt that my master would just brainwash me.
When Zhang Dashan saw someone coming, he walked over and gave her a handful of seedlings in his hand, "Xiao An, just patch up the seedlings on the edge of the field."
"That's easy."
The master and the apprentice were walking back and forth on the field ridge. Zhang Dashan occasionally raised his head and could still see him whispering to each other, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Dashan, do you like Renwazi?" The person next to him asked Zhang Dashan jokingly.
When Zhang Dashan heard this, his face turned red to the back of his ears.
"Aunt Cuixiu, please stop laughing at me. How could I like Xiao An?"
"Hahaha, you are so shy. I think you are good. That baby is very fair. He is a good baby."
How could this countryman see such a fair-skinned child? Naturally, he would like to see others everywhere.
"Uncle Ergen!" Zhang Dashan shouted in slight annoyance.
"You're not too young this year, right?"
"Seventeen."
"Then it's time to find a partner. When I was seventeen, your uncle and I already had our eldest child."
"Why, Dashan is seventeen this year?"
The people in the circle chatted about commonplace gossip, and if they continued talking, the incident just now was brought to an end.
When Zhang Dashan looked up again, he saw that the master and apprentice were walking a little far away, and for some reason, he felt a little disappointed.
Just now when someone asked Zhang Dashan if he liked Yan Xiaoan, Yan Qiuyu had already consciously led Yan Xiaoan away.
Yan Xiaoan didn't hear what others said, but Yan Qiuyu had good hearing, so no matter what Zhang Dashan's answer was, he had no need to know.
The breeze that blows from time to time carries the fragrance of green grass. Where the two of them are standing now, they can see the entire Zhangjiagou and several nearby small villages.
"Wow, it's really a beautiful scenery when you look at it like this." Yan Xiaoan took another deep breath, filled with fresh mountain air.
In recent years, crop harvests have been poor, and fields in many places have turned into wasteland. Although those who remain in the village are still farming day and night, they still cannot change their lives of just enough food and clothing.
"Alas." Yan Xiaoan, who was in a good mood just now, sighed again.
"What's wrong."
"This scenery is so good, this air is so good, but there is no TV to watch, and I feel uncomfortable without my beloved Plants vs. Zombies." Yan Xiaoan turned around and blinked at his master.
Yan Qiuyu knew that she was holding it back. Life in the countryside was like this. Yan Xiaoan was usually able to make as much noise as he wanted in Duhun Division, but when he suddenly came here, it was already very good that he could hold on for so long.
"If you bear with it a little longer, it will be soon."
The peanuts have sprouted and the rice has been planted, so of course it will be soon.
