Another strange thing happened in the village. The boy from Mrs. Liu's family went fishing again, but this time the fish he caught were not for eating, but for his own paddy fields.
After what happened to Zhuang Keqing last time, and the fact that the fishermen were from the family of Mrs. Liu, a notorious shrew, people in the village now only discuss it in private. Anyone who dares to say it in front of the old woman will be scolded. Already.
Zhang Er and Zhang San felt suffocated in their hearts. They felt that their parents were listening to Zhang Da's secret suggestions. These days, they both had no good face towards the boss, let alone supported his work of increasing the height of the fields.
The juniors didn't have much to think about. They went down to the river to catch fish and play in the water and take a bath. They were very happy.
"Gouzi, hurry up and get your bag, I found another one!"
Erfang's Tiedan popped up from the river and came out with his hands raised. There was a small fish struggling in the middle.
"Okay, wait!"
The dog pulled the net bag tied to the stone by the river and went into the water. He didn't swim back until he caught the fish and put it away.
Shen Ling held a wooden basin in his arms, and before he reached the river, he saw these boys having fun in the river.
The skin of rural children is tanned to a healthy wheat color. Although they are not as tall as adults, they have already shown some signs. At this time, they are laughing and swimming in the river, and they are very energetic.
He lowered his head and looked at the wooden basin in his hands. There were some coarse cloth clothes soaked in the sour smell of sweat.
Shen Ling twitched his lips in self-mockery.
Now he is not even qualified to wash Shen Huan's clothes, he can only wash the clothes of the rough servants.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you bringing clothes for washing at this time?"
Gouzi landed on the shore and immediately saw an unfamiliar young man standing not far in front of him. The man was thin, but he was holding a large basin filled with clothes.
When Shen Ling was asked something, he was stunned.
It's been a long time since anyone took the initiative to talk to him.
"Why don't you answer? It's strange." Seeing that he didn't speak, Gouzi thought that this person either had bad ears or a weak brain, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, got into the water and jumped away. He still had to find fish. .
"Hey, who is that person? Why does he look unfamiliar?" After all, the young man was still very curious. When Gouzi saw that Shen Ling's appearance was different from those children in the village who grew up in the mud, he caught Tiedan. He came over, pointed to the man who was washing clothes in the river in the distance, and asked: "I just talked to him, but he ignored me."
Tiedan usually likes to run around everywhere, hiding wherever there is excitement. At this time, he only raised his head and glanced, then lowered his head and bit the dog's ears mysteriously.
"That man, I heard he is the eldest son of the Shen family. You have never seen the grandeur of the Shen family when they come back."
"Young master, you still have to do your own laundry?" Gouzi was the first to listen and didn't believe it, "You're fooling me."
"Who fooled you! If you don't believe me, make a bet. If I win, you can get half of the drink next time!"
"Let's bet. Let's go up together and ask."
The two of them soaked in the river and swam directly in the direction of Shen Ling without even going ashore, leaving only the third-bedroom Fugui who didn't know anything about it and was fishing for fish in the distance and stuffing it into his pockets.
"Hey! Are you the eldest son of the Shen family?"
Shen Ling was washing his clothes with his head down when he was splashed in the face by the water splashed by the two people emerging from the water.
"Speak, are you mute?" Tiedan is smaller than a dog and has no worries about speaking.
It was rare for someone to talk to him in a normal manner without any thoughts or purposes, which made Shen Ling a little uncomfortable.
He stretched out his hand to wipe off the water on his face, then raised his head and answered them: "Yes."
Tiedan happily jumped into the water and walked away, but the dog still stayed where he was.
"Since you are the eldest son, why are you still doing laundry here? I just heard Tiedan say that your family doesn't have many servants?"
When I asked this question, I got no answer. When the dog saw that people were washing clothes again, it seemed that he just didn't want to pay attention to him, so he felt bored, so he splashed the water twice and swam away.
Back to the place where he caught the fish, Tiedan laughed and said that he would let Gouzi fulfill his promise next time. Gouzi was willing to admit defeat, and he would not feel bad if he agreed. Only Fugui listened inexplicably.
"What are you talking about? Tell me too."
So Tiedan told about the bet just now, and then pointed at Shen Ling not far away.
"The Shen family? Could it be that they saved grandma's life last time?"
As soon as Fugui opened his mouth, he shocked the other two.
"What are you talking about? He saved grandma's life?"
"I, I also heard what Maizi said from next door. He was out with his mother that day, and we happened to meet him. The Zhuang family's sister couldn't help Grandma, and no one around was willing to help. It was the boy from the Shen family who helped."
Although Fugui said this, he was not very sure. Later, grandma and grandpa also went to the Shen family, but the other party said that there was no such person. But when the Shen family returned to the village that day, someone passed away and saw the housekeeper calling him. The eldest son.
Fugui shook his head.
This was so messed up that he was confused.
"Then let's ask again. If this is really the case, we have to thank them!"
Gouzi made a decision, and the other two people felt it was reasonable, so they all went ashore and got dressed before walking to Shen Ling.
"Hey, did you save our grandma?" Tiedan was impatient and asked before he could stand still.
"Your grandma?"
Is this the grandson of the old woman whom I rescued that day?
Shen Ling turned to look at the boys who were a few steps away from him. Seeing that the three of them looked at him a little awkwardly, he lowered his head and stopped looking at them, so that they would not feel so uncomfortable.
"Your grandma was saved by a girl, I just helped."
After hearing his answer, Fugui turned around and gave his two brothers a look.
I said it’s him!
The few of them looked at each other, put aside their previous naughtiness, rushed forward quickly, snatched the clothes from Shen Ling's hands, and wanted to wash them for him.
"Since we saved grandma's life, there's nothing we can do to repay you, so let's wash your clothes first!"
Shen Ling had his clothes taken away, and he didn't react for a while. When Gouzi and the three of them divided their work and started rubbing the clothes, they calmed down.
"You don't have to be like this. I do my work myself, and the person who was going to save people that day was a girl. I just followed her instructions."
The three of them kept moving their hands and ignored his words to continue working. They only changed the subject and talked about Zhuang Keqing. "Isn't the girl you are talking about the banker's sister? We helped her catch fish before. Let's help you wash a few things. Clothes don’t matter.”
"The banker's sister?"
"yes!"
Gouzi talked about Zhuang Keqing with great enthusiasm. From what he saw when he went to town to sell tofu, to how to tinker with fish farming in rice fields, as well as delicious snacks and drinks, he mentioned everything, and said His eyes were dancing with joy and his mouth was flying, making Tiedan and Fugui envious.
It turns out that you got so many benefits behind our backs, and you have been hiding it until now!
And Shen Lingzai no longer insisted on getting his clothes back. He just listened quietly, fascinated.
