Xu Yanni seemed very excited the whole time, after all, working was just for fun.
When he came down the mountain in the evening and washed his hands in the river, he happily splashed water, scooped water to wash his face, and laughed like a silver bell.
"Aren't you tired?" Wang Zhaozhao couldn't help but ask her.
"I'm tired, but very happy." Xu Yanni answered with a smile, gently paddling her hands in the river water.
Wang Zhaozhao looked at the scene in front of him with amusement. The image of the heroine in the late 1970s?
When he returned home, Wang Zhaozhao found that a chicken had been killed at home.
This... doesn't have to be like this, right?
It’s not that she is stingy, okay, she is stingy. Hens can lay eggs. She has been used to being poor since she was a child. Being able to eat an egg when she was a child was a great happiness.
Moreover, it is something that poor families can afford.
All in all, a hen is very precious.
"Why do you look like your mother has died?" Wang Zhaozhao's resentment was so strong that Xie Ailian, who was upset, glared at her unhappily.
Wang Zhaozhao pursed her lips. She didn't know what to say. If her mother was dead, she wouldn't have that expression.
Before she was five years old, even if Chen Meiru treated her badly, she would never care about her life or death. After she was five years old, she ignored her with a dead face... Ignoring her is better than abusing her.
With her grandparents around, she wouldn't dare abuse her.
cough!
Thinking too far ahead.
Wang Zhaozhao collected his thoughts and asked Xie Ailian, "Grandma, which chicken did you kill?"
"Damn it, the one with the white spots has been clucking every day for the past two or three months, like it wants to hatch eggs, but it won't. It's so noisy every day, and it won't lay eggs. I might as well kill it and eat it."
How could Xie Ailian not know what Wang Zhaozhao was thinking?
"Oh, then it's better to kill it and eat it." Wang Zhaozhao no longer felt sorry for it, nor did he feel like an eyesore here.
Xie Ailian snorted and laughed.
If you say he is generous, look at how stingy he was just now. If you say he is stingy, he spends money lavishly.
Xie Ailian was really generous this time. She stewed the whole chicken in one pot instead of eating it in two or three meals as usual.
The old hen that I have raised for more than two years is so delicious when stewed. The chicken soup is yellow and very tempting.
Considering that Wang Baojia was becoming more sensible as he grew older, he would not fight for food and knew to pay attention to his image, so Xie Ailian directly called several grandchildren over and gave each of them a few pieces of chicken and a bowl of soup.
As for the daughter-in-law, there was no chicken left but two mouthfuls of soup.
After all, no matter how big a chicken is, there are only so many of them.
In fact, it was quite good, but as for those three, Chen Meiru pretended to be dead and didn't say a word, while Zhang Xiu'e and Shi Haiyan must have felt that it was not enough and wished that the whole chicken could go into their stomachs.
Xu Yanni is not naive. She knows that the conditions in the countryside are difficult. She felt embarrassed when she saw Xie Ailian and the others specially killed a chicken.
After dinner, while there was still some light, Wang Zhaozhao quickly took a bath for himself and Xu Yanni.
Their village doesn't have electricity yet, so they usually light torches. His family plays in the yard for a while and then goes to bed early.
Sharing her small bed with Wang Zhaozhao, Xu Yanni was so excited that she couldn't sleep and kept talking to Wang Zhaozhao.
Wang Zhaozhao had already decided not to go into the system space to study tonight, but to chat with Xu Yanni.
At about ten o'clock, Xu Yanni fell asleep. She got up and went to the bathroom as usual.
The next day, Wang Xingwen and his friends did not participate in the collective labor to earn work points. They planned to go to the mountains to play together. As a result, it suddenly started to rain.
Not to mention that Wang Zhaozhao and the others went out to play, even the adults who had just taken the work up the mountain ran back.
The rain was falling heavily. Wang Zhaozhao and the others were sitting under the eaves outside the main hall, staring at the heavy downpour in a daze.
Oh, Wang Zhaozhao is not in a daze.
"Wow, system, you upgraded once, but the weather forecast is still inaccurate." She was complaining to the system.
"Wow, host, you are so stupid. You didn't even ask me about the weather." The system imitated Wang Zhaozhao's tone.
Another upgrade, it has several modes and sounds to choose from.
"You're still my dog. You didn't need me to ask before. You would remind me."
"Host, I'll respond with a phrase you often say: Reminding is a favor, not reminding is a duty."
"...Ok! Got it."
After hearing what the system said, Wang Zhaozhao decisively shut up.
Wang Zhaozhao's consciousness exited the system, he looked at the rain curtain, and then looked at the group of people.
"Why don't we play a game!" she suggested.
"Okay, okay, Sister Zhao, what game shall we play?" Wang Baojia was the first to jump up and respond.
Wang Zhaozhao grinned, and Wang Baojia subconsciously took two steps back. "Second brother is the best at this kind of thing. Let's ask him."
Looking at Wang Zhaozhao's smile, he had a bad feeling.
He quickly suggested, "Why don't we play hide-and-seek? We can play this at home too."
Wang Xingwu shook his head. "How old are you? Still playing hide-and-seek?"
"Then... then... second brother, what do you want to play?"
Wang Xingwu was so quick-witted. When had Wang Zhaozhao ever mentioned playing games? Wasn't it because her classmates were here today? So, how could they just play whatever they wanted?
"Zhao Zhao, what do you want to play?" he also asked Wang Zhaozhao.
Wang Zhaozhao turned around and asked Xu Yanni, "Yanni, is there anything you want to play?"
Xu Yanni thought about it and shook her head.
She is here as a guest, so she should just follow the host's wishes.
After all, she didn't know whether what she proposed would be inappropriate.
Because all she could think of to play at home was chess and the like.
Wang Zhaozhao actually had no idea. Although she wasn't tired before, she often had to collect grass for pigs and didn't play much with the children in the village. Later, she had to study even less.
She only knew that the boys in the village often played hide-and-seek and war games.
"How about we play Four Corners?"
Four corners, they usually call it a monument.
Use a piece of paper, fold it horizontally into a long strip, fold it at an angle, find an angle on the object, overlap the two, turn the paper over horizontally, fold it at an angle again, tear off the excess paper, insert the last angle into the second angle and press it down, and you're done.
In the third grade, she saw Liu Gaoshu and Zhang Nan team up to play with other students in the class.
It can be played by two people or in a team of multiple people.
Scissors, rock, paper, the loser takes out a square and lets the winner play first.
By fanning or hitting the four corners, you win as long as the four corners turn over.
The two sides took turns to attack, one by one, and whoever made the four corners turn over would get the four corners.
Liu Gaoshu, that kid, lost so much that he tore up the corners of his textbook and was caught by the teacher. His class teacher at that time, Fu Weiyi, grabbed his ears and criticized him severely. He then stopped playing.
"Okay, okay, but you have to fold the paper into four corners..." Wang Baojia excitedly pulled up his pants.
Seeing him like that, Wang Zhaozhao suddenly regretted suggesting this game.
