Chapter 137: Change money and buy candy! (4)
"Dad, it's time to eat."
"Jiaojiao, how did you get in? What if you fall?" Looking at the steel bars, stones and cement around him, Ruan Jianguo's face wrinkled and he quickly went up to hug her.
Ruan Jiaojiao skillfully put her arms around his neck, took out a small handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
It was almost May, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, especially at noon when the sun was shining brightly, making it hard to open your eyes. Ruan Jianguo felt the little girl's fragrant and soft hands busy on his forehead, squinting his eyes in enjoyment, and his heart was really happy.
Nowadays, people in the countryside like boys. He really doesn't know what's the use of those bad boys. They are nothing like his little lady. She is simply the embodiment of a caring little cotton-padded jacket.
While he invited the workers around him to have dinner with him, he teased Ruan Jiaojiao in his arms.
He asked her who she loved the most and who she liked the most. When he got the answer he was satisfied with, he laughed so hard.
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao, the villain in her heart was showing off. When she met such a Ruan family, she was helpless. She had to accompany them to play these little games of who she loved the most every day.
The Ruan family is a down-to-earth family. Although it is sweet potato rice, it is definitely enough to fill you up. Although the dishes are not big meats, they will have some bacon every now and then. The food is really the best. The workers hired are paid by the day. Generally, if they can slack off for other people, they will do so in order to get an extra day's salary. However, they are not like this for the Ruan family. They are all down-to-earth, working hard, and making fast progress.
When Ruan Jianguo entered the kitchen to get food, he saw a gray-white rabbit in the chicken coop at the back. The workers next to him were envious and thought that the Ruan family was really capable. It was said that they often went up the mountain to hunt. But Ruan Jianguo frowned when he looked at the rabbit, and felt a little solemn.
After dinner, Ruan Jianguo asked the workers to take a break for an hour. They were all honest and simple people, and they didn't show off. They found a place to lie down and enjoy the leisure time at noon.
Ruan Jianguo pulled Ruan Lin into the inner room and asked, "Mom, was that rabbit brought by Jiaojiao?"
"No, it was brought by Xiaoxu."
"Xiaoxu?" Ruan Jianguo's frown loosened, but immediately tightened again: "Where did he get it? The back mountain? You should go there less often in the future, especially for a child as young as him. What if he is taken away by a monkey again?" Ruan Jianguo is still frightened by the fact that Ruan Jiaojiao was taken away by a monkey, and he doesn't allow the boys in the family to run to the back mountain.
Hearing this, Ruan Lin also frowned and said, "I didn't ask. I will tell him when he comes later." Regarding the matter of monkeys taking people away, all the families with children in the team were reminded. Now no one dared to let their children go to the back mountain, for fear that the monkeys would take them away. That would be really helpless.
However, thinking of Xu Xu's plan to exchange the rabbit for money to buy candy for Ruan Jiaojiao, she told Ruan Jianguo about it as a joke.
Ruan Jianguo was also surprised after hearing it, and then shook his head helplessly: "This child is really thoughtful. He cares about our Jiaojiao more than their brothers."
"That's right." Ruan Lin agreed. She really had a good impression of Xu Xu.
Thinking that Xu Xu would also go to school with Ruan Jiaojiao in September, she asked Ruan Jianguo: "They will go to school in September. You need money to build a house, renovate it, and hire workers. If it's difficult, I'll do it for Xiao Xu..."
