In early August, the morning sun was bright and bright.
At the entrance of Taoxi Village, the soft and sweet voice of the little girl kept ringing, and the air seemed to be infected by her vitality.
"This is the jujube tea I made with my mother-in-law in the morning. It's sweet and delicious. It can soothe your throat and quench your thirst."
"And this one, it's the sweetest loquat from my loquat tree. I'll bring it with you too. Share it with others to make good friends."
"Grandpa, village chief, second uncle, you should behave well when you go to the county! I will pick you up when you come back!"
At the entrance of Taoxi Village, Qiqi was seeing him off.
Reluctant to leave, with thousands of instructions, like sending off a warrior from home.
Worried that her words would put pressure on the two elders, she thought for a while and said, "No matter whether you can win first place or not, in Qiqi's heart you are the best."
She used to pick up garbage, and she saw a strange aunt at the school gate encouraging her baby. It didn't matter whether she could get first place in the exam, just try her best. In the mother's heart, the baby is the best.
At that time Qiqi was enviable.
But that was all a long time ago and is not important.
Now in her eyes, the village chief's grandfather and second uncle are elders who are going to take the exam, and it is right to speak like a strange aunt.
Later, other adults who came to see him off were already laughing their heads off.
Qiqiyi stood up and finished all the words they wanted to tell them. Even Grandma Huazi and Taohua Niang didn't get a chance to express themselves.
The old village chief smiled with wrinkles on his face, and Chen Jianhe also grinned.
The two put the water bottles and loquats Qiqi gave them into the front basket of their bicycles and put them away carefully, "Okay, no matter whether we can win first place or not, we just have to try our best!"
"Don't send me off. We'll be back in the afternoon at most. Let's go for a walk! The bus to the county is probably already waiting in town, so we can't be late."
After watching the two bicycles disappear on the road, Qi Qi returned home with Zhang Xifeng.
It's still early, the piglets have been fed, the yard has been cleaned, the things in the field have just been sold, and the Zhang family hasn't planted any rice...
Sitting under the loquat tree in the yard, Qiqi counted on her fingers, but for a while she couldn't find anything to do.
People feel a little panicked when they are idle.
The little hand subconsciously touched the pocket, where the little black egg was still lying quietly. Many days passed, and no matter what Qi Qi said, there was no response.
Qiqi pursed her lips and slowly became dazed, feeling a little sad.
She didn't know what happened to Dandan, and she didn't know what she could do for Dandan.
She actually doesn't know what a system is until now.
For her, Dandan's arrival is more like giving her an additional friend, a friend whom she can trust and trust.
"Qiqi, while the sun is not shining, my mother-in-law will take you to tidy up our vegetable garden." At the door of the hall, Zhang Xifeng locked the door, picked up the dung basket, picked up the sickle, and came over to greet Qiqi to follow.
Zhangjia Vegetable Garden is right behind the grain drying farm, and it only takes a few minutes to get there.
The vegetables we usually eat at home are all picked from the vegetable garden. They are fresh, juicy and delicious.
Qiqi trotted forward and picked up a straw hat for herself and her mother-in-law.
The old man and the young man walked slowly and slowly along the path in the yard towards the vegetable garden. From time to time, there were shadows from behind other people's houses, where they could hide from the cold.
Qiqi touched the little black egg in her pocket with her little hand, still feeling depressed.
"Mother-in-law, will the eggs die?" she asked softly.
Zhang Xifeng was taken aback by this question and thought it was the little kid's wild idea. She smiled and said, "If the egg can hatch a chick, it is alive. If it cannot hatch, it is a dead egg."
Qi Qi's eyes widened at once, "Hatch a chick? Can the roasted black egg hatch a chick?"
Zhang Xifeng snorted, "Of course you can't. Those are already cooked eggs."
Qiqi's eyes were red, but there were adults around so she didn't dare to let her tears fall.
Her balls are dead, ugh.
The vegetable garden has arrived.
Zhang Xifeng opened the wooden fence of the vegetable garden and led Qiqi inside.
Zhang Xifeng organizes her own vegetable plot very well.
The vegetable fields are lined up ridge after ridge, growing autumn radishes, cucumbers, water spinach, etc. The greenery is really beautiful at first glance.
I also planted a small patch of onions, garlic and peppers on the edge of the ridge.
Putting down the dung basket, Zhang Xifeng took a sickle and cut off some radish leaves, which could be used to feed the pigs. As for the small weeds growing among the vegetables, they were pulled out in a few strokes.
The old man and the young man worked together, chatting from time to time about interesting things in the village.
Qiqi was a little distracted today. Looking at the gap where her mother-in-law was not paying attention, she quietly dug a hole in the ground, took out the little black egg and hesitated to put it in.
After hesitating for a long time, I still couldn't bear to part with it, so I held the little black egg in my hand and shed tears behind my mother-in-law's back.
Ta, tap... the tears fell on the eggshell and disappeared quietly as they flowed through the cracked gap.
…
Different time and space.
A sunny day in May.
In the most luxurious Chinese restaurant in Kyoto, Xiao Li asked for a private room on the top floor and ordered a table of dishes by himself.
Roast duck, braised prawns, flavored blood sausage, red grilled shark's fin... He hasn't dreamed for several days. He is very satisfied with this. He has lived a very rich life these days.
Mainly manifested in food.
During those days when he turned into an egg, he could only hide and watch others eat.
Of course, he is not greedy either.
There is almost no meat in the food, so what’s there to be greedy about?
So now he goes out to find various Chinese restaurants every day. Every time he orders meat, he feels satisfied even if he doesn't eat them all.
If that silly boy were here, he could give her a body of meat and a thousand-layer tower chin in two days.
A baby should look like that to be cute.
He snorted, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a shrimp at random, and brought it to his mouth. Xiao Li was not as appetizing as he expected.
Forget it, just eat the crystal elbow.
Boom——
a bolt from the blue.
Xiao Li paused and slowly turned his head to look out the window, feeling a bad premonition arise in his heart.
Boom!
Another muffled thunder, accompanied by a streak of purple lightning.
Seeing Zidian rushing towards him, Xiao Li's eyesight went dark.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a small face with tears streaming down his face. He was thin and had no chin.
Their eyes met, Xiao Li was very calm, "Oh, what did you do?"
The little kid blinked, as if he couldn't see clearly, and immediately raised his little hand to rub his eyes several times.
When he saw the little egg man in his hand open his eyes, the little kid's face suddenly lit up, and his smile was so bright that it was dazzling.
"Egg, egg! Egg!" Considering that her mother-in-law was not far behind her, the little kid didn't dare to shout, but she kept banging her balls nonstop, and her hands were shaking with excitement.
The little Eggman was shaken to the ground and rolled into a pit.
Looking around, the little eggman closed his eyes and smiled, "What, what, is this again?"
Wa'er's smile paused and her eyes began to wander, "This, this is the grave I dug for you..."
