Eagle Catches Chicken is a time-honored children's game.
After Gu An finished repairing the roof, he stood on it and looked down to enjoy the rare laughter and joy.
After a short rest, he returned the same way, put the tiles in order and climbed down the wooden ladder.
"Brother Lao Si, do you want to play with us?" Ah Cheng was pretending to be an eagle.
"You guys play first, I'll clean up and then you can go back to the classroom for class."
Some dust had just fallen, so he cleaned it up while playing games.
Children's class time is very precious. The production crew will only stay for about a week at most, and by then the place will still be empty with only desks and chairs left.
"Okay, pretty sisters, you can go to class now."
Si Hong walked up to him and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Are you tired?"
"That's okay. I have to return the ladder first." Gu An turned around, picked up the wooden ladder and walked towards the house of the village chief Tian Bo.
[No, does his family know he's so stupid? If I take a break before returning the ladder, won't it take root and sprout?]
[Even the farmhands in the landlord's household were not so hardworking.]
[The Lin siblings next door have already gone to bed hungry, and the big buffalo should be back soon after eating (crying and laughing).]
"Uncle Tian, I'll return the ladder to you after I'm done using it."
"I didn't expect you to actually fix it. This way, I don't have to worry about the classroom leaking when it rains in a couple of days. Thank you on behalf of the children!"
"No, no, I should do it. Even if I don't do it, someone else will do it when the children's parents come back for the New Year."
Tian Bo frowned. During the Chinese New Year, every family that went out to work would come back, but everyone would take care of their own family, so it was not certain that there would be no teachers in the classroom.
He turned over and went back to the house and took out a piece of unpeeled sugarcane and handed it to Gu An. "I grew it myself. It's not as big as the ones grown outside, but it's still sweet and edible. You can have it."
In mountain villages where supplies are scarce, sugarcane is considered a pretty good fruit.
Sugarcane is popular in the south, but Gu An, who grew up in Jiangcheng, has only eaten it a few times in the past 18 years. His eyes curved as he took it, but he couldn't bear to eat it.
"Thank you, Uncle Tian."
It's time for him to go back to school and teach with his sister.
"Hey, classmate Gu An, why are you alone?"
Wu Fan squatted under the eaves with a bowl of rice in his hand and ate alone. If he changed into simple clothes, you wouldn't be able to tell that he was a big star.
More like a bored street urchin.
"Wu Fan, my sister is teaching the kids at school. I'll be right there. You've already had breakfast, not bad."
"Hey, I don't have your ability, so I'll just try my best." Wu Fan and Gu An had been together for a while during filming, and they had a good impression of each other.
"That's a nice stick you have in your hand."
"Yeah, I feel the same way. See you later." Gu An raised the sugarcane in his hand.
If you don’t look closely at the brown skin, no one would know that this stick is edible.
[This is hilarious! Northerners, take note! This is a Southern stick. It hurts when you hit it, but tastes sweet. At its cheapest, it was only 20 cents.]
[Hey, let me, Old Sun, take a beating! ]
[Shh, don't let the female anchor see.]
[Tsk, we never use this kind of fruit, okay?]
[Nani, I seem to have accidentally heard something extraordinary.]
[Open the door upstairs and check the water meter! ]
In my hometown, no one buys this sugarcane unless it's peeled. It has to be peeled and then cut into small pieces before being bagged. So it's understandable that Fanfan couldn't recognize it.
[People in the north say Sister Li doesn't care! We buy onions by the bunch, they buy them by the individual...]
[Tofu pudding should be sweet, no objections accepted!]
I don't know whose fans they are, but the thread got derailed as everyone started arguing.
As Gu An was walking back, he ran into Ling Dong and Ji Meir who were carrying firewood back to the village.
"Gu An, do you want to collect firewood too?"
"There are some on the mountain. I can tell you where to chop wood. Just turn left at the entrance of the village. Walk three or four miles along the foot of the mountain on both sides of the stream. There are many dead trees there." Ji Meir smiled in a friendly manner.
"Yes, it's very convenient. I just picked up some firewood randomly in the woods." Ling Dong carried a hundred kilograms of firewood on his shoulders, and the firewood looked good.
"Thank you, I don't need it today. Let's go together another day!"
"no problem."
"Moo~!"
The large water buffalo trotted past them. The village road was only about a meter wide, so Gu An and Ling Dong had no choice but to retreat to the base of the wall to avoid it.
Behind the cow's butt are the Lin siblings.
There were some dry straws stuck on Lin Jingjing's head, and she and Lin Zizhen looked anxious.
Finally I can come back to eat!
"Your cows are walking too fast. What if they hit people?" Ji Meir turned sideways and reminded with a frown.
"Who is there in this village? You walk slowly and don't allow others to walk?" Lin Jingjing didn't care.
She was very aggressive and said that as long as you are not blind, it is okay if you just give way when you see a cow coming.
"The village is full of old people and children. Are you sure there's no danger?"
"Gu An, what does this have to do with you? You're full and you're talking nonsense here, but my brother Zizhen and I are still hungry. If you had shared some vegetables with the cows in the morning, we wouldn't have to starve."
"Brother Gu An, is that sugarcane in your hand? Can you give it to us?"
"Oh, you're seeing things. This is a stick, not sugarcane." Gu An said calmly.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a little girl of two or three years old suddenly walk out of the house a few meters in front of the big buffalo. She stood in the middle of the road in a daze, biting an ear of corn.
"Little sister is in danger!"
He didn't bother to chat with Lin Zizhen and rushed towards the little girl quickly.
Seeing this, Ling Dong immediately put down his burden and ran forward to chase the big buffalo, trying to pull the rope to make it stop.
Lin Zizhen stood there with a pale face and quickly dropped the branch in his hand.
