When Zhang Tan came out of the room, he saw Xi'er sitting alone in the yard, with her back to the door and her head hunched. Her back looked very depressed. It was obvious that she had never expected and was extremely embarrassed about her bedwetting.
"What's wrong with Xi'er? Why does she look unhappy?" Zhang Tan asked.
Xi'er looked at him shyly, feeling embarrassed to speak. She lowered her head and watched the ants on the ground eating bread crumbs.
"It's okay. What are you afraid of about bed-wetting? Children can wet the bed. Xiaobai wet the bed before." Zhang Tan comforted.
"Happy baby~~~~"
Outside the yard, a child called her name. He was a child who went to herd cows in the early morning. He was a small person, but he was leading a big cow.
"Little friend, what are you doing?" Xi'er asked curiously. She didn't dare to hold such a big cow, but she liked it very much.
"Xiwa, I'm going to herd the cows, will you go?"
Zhang Tan looked at it and saw, "Good guy, it's a little boy."
After watching the little boy go, three more came after a while, all leading a cow. When they passed by the yard, they called Xi'er to go herd the cow.
Xiaobai simply stood on the big stone pier and dismissed them condescendingly, saying that they would not go herding cattle.
On the field ridge, Dunzi came running at full speed, and his mother shouted behind him to run slowly and not to fall into the field.
Dunzi brought a bamboo cage, and there were babbling sounds from inside. Xiaobai surrounded the cage and studied it.
"Huh? What is it?" Xi'er leaned over curiously, and the embarrassment of bedwetting was temporarily forgotten by her.
"He's a lazy boy," Dunzi said.
"What is a cicada?" Xi'er asked, finally seeing clearly what was in the cage, which was two cicadas. "These are cicadas, hiahia. I have caught them too. They like to bark. Can you give them to me?"
Take a look?"
Dunzi handed her the bamboo cage. She was surprised and marveled at it.
Teacher Jiang came out holding the sheets and was about to wash the sheets. Xi'er glanced at it and quickly turned away, pretending not to see it, hahaha~
Breakfast was porridge, noodles, and boiled eggs. After breakfast, Zhang Tan went to the town to hire a mason. One of the things he wanted to do when he came back this time was to decorate the house. The red bricks were exposed and it looked like
So desolate.
"Wait a minute and ask Bai Li to go with you. He is familiar with the town." Teacher Jiang said.
Not long after, a dark-skinned, short but strong young man came on foot and greeted Zhang Tan a little shyly. He would follow Zhang Tan to the town today to invite people.
"Godfather, godfather, will you take me to play?" Xi'er followed behind and wanted to go, but Zhang Tan asked her to play with Xiaobai and Dunzi at home.
"Oh, then come back early, and be careful when driving." Xi'er warned naggingly, while Xiaobai stared at him.
Zhang Tan drove away, and the children in the village came in groups to ask Xiaobai to play. The three little ones followed the large group, and Xi'er also mixed in, acting as a tail.
Xi'er said proudly that she knew all these children. This one is called Xiaobai, that one is called Xiaobai, that one is also called Xiaobai, and the one over there is also called Xiaobai. Ha, she has not forgotten any of them!
The township to which Baijia Village belongs is very small, with only two streets. It took only a short drive to cover it. Under Bai Li's guidance, Zhang Tan successfully found a mason. After thinking about it, he ran to the county seat and placed an order.
After a batch of furniture came home, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
The house was very lively, and many people came to help with the move.
When the home needs to be renovated, things must be moved out and vacated. These are people from Baijia Village. Teacher Jiang asked the village party secretary to find them. Zhang Tan just bought a box of cigarettes in the town and hurriedly scattered the cigarettes for everyone.
"Hey, there are high-end cigarettes! I've never smoked them before."
Someone picked it up and could tell at a glance that it was a high-end cigarette. The packaging and feel were completely different from what they usually smoked.
Zhang Tan stuffed each person with a red envelope, and after finishing his work in the afternoon, he stuffed each person with a red envelope.
Everyone was embarrassed to accept it. Whenever something happened in the village, everyone would help each other. At most, they would give each other a pack of cigarettes or a meal. It had never happened before that Zhang Tan gave out such good cigarettes and stuffed them with red envelopes afterward.
"Take it, I need to trouble you all in the future. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to ask you for it next time. It's just a little kindness but not a lot of money." Zhang Tan said.
Everyone looked at the village party secretary, who said: "Keep it, keep it. Anyone who is not busy these days can come and help."
Everyone agreed and took the red envelopes and went home.
The rooms had all been emptied. At night, Teacher Jiang took Xiaobai and Xi'er to Dunzi's house to sleep. Only Zhang Tan stayed and made a bed on the floor in the living room.
"What's wrong with Xi'er? Why are you crying?"
There were so many things going on just now that Zhang Tan didn't pay attention to the children. Now that everyone had gone back, he noticed that Xi'er's eyes were red and she seemed to have cried, and Xiaobai was comforting her.
"Xiwawa was bitten by a leech~~It's so miserable~~" Xiaobai said.
Zhang Tan: "...Where is it? Let me take a look."
Xi'er held out her little jiojio, pointed to the right foot and said: "Bite here, it's so big~"
I saw a small red spot on Xi'er's ankle, where she was bitten by a leech.
Teacher Jiang said: "I have washed it many times with soapy water and it has been disinfected. It will be fine."
When Xi'er heard this, she said aggrievedly that she was so scared.
She described the scene of being bitten by a leech in a long and verbose way, which was so scary that it made her cry on the spot.
"Did you run into the fields?" Zhang Tan asked.
Xi'er nodded. She was running around with the children in the village today and had so much fun that she was bitten by a leech when she was going home.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, the bite will heal soon." Zhang Tan comforted him.
Xiaobai also encouraged Xier to be brave.
Not far away, there was a buffalo grazing on the field ridge. Xi'er said, "I want to be brave. I am a brave cow."
"Who can help me? Let's take the dishes to Dunzi's house." Zhang Tan said.
The three children all raised their hands, and they and Zhang Tan took away the groceries they had bought. They had been having a blast at Dunzi's house these past few days, and the place was being renovated.
I bought a lot of chicken, duck, fish and so on. Dunzi's mother said: "Although the weather is not hot in the mountains, I still keep them in the refrigerator."
The sky gradually darkened, the moon rose from the mountains, and Zhang Tan was blown by the mountain breeze, which was extremely cool.
Xiaobai ran over with the little yellow duck in his arms and said he wanted to take a bath, but actually he just wanted to play in the water.
When Xi'er heard this, she quickly followed her, but was told that her jiojio was bitten by a leech and could not touch the water, at least until tomorrow.
"Huh?" Xi'er was confused. She specifically called Sister Xiaobai today and asked her to take her to play in the deep water area, but...
As a result, Xi'er was sitting by the river, hugging her legs and chin, watching Xiaobai and Dunzi play in the water.
"Xi'er, come here~" Zhang Tan called her.
Xi'er was overjoyed, thinking that her godfather wanted her to play in the water.
"Let me wipe it for you." Zhang Tan said and wiped Xi'er with a towel.
