Chapter 115: Professional Digger Yan Xiaolang
Yan Shenjue watched silently.
Just look at her two chubby little hands, digging and digging hard, and after digging for a long time, she finally dug out a small shallow pit.
Yan Shenjue reached to his waist, took out the Kongwang Sword, and swung it casually, causing mud to splash.
The young boy waited for a while before turning back, and then he was stunned.
Xinbao didn't see the cool look of him with one arm raised. She was splashed in the face by the flying mud and was shaking her head back and forth in confusion. She looked as cute as ever.
He originally just wanted to help her dig a hole, but he forgot that she was squatting very low, so the water splashed all over her face.
Seeing that her long eyelashes were covered with dirt, he felt a little embarrassed and a little amused, and coughed.
Xinbao didn't care and wiped the dirt off his face, but he forgot that there was also dirt on his hands, and three black lines appeared on them in an instant.
Yan Shenjue twitched his lips, and could only put away his costume and the sword of death, took out his handkerchief, blocked her hand with one hand, lifted her fat chin with the other, and said, "Close your eyes."
The little girl closed her eyes obediently.
Yan Shenjue carefully glanced from under her eyes, wiped off the dirt on her face, and said lightly: "That's enough."
Xinbao opened his eyes, and his big eyes rolled around.
Then she saw seven or eight neatly arranged small pits on the ground, all the same size. Even the splashed soil was concentrated in piles on the upper right, which simply satisfied her obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Xinbao was shocked and said, "Wow!!"
She looked at him with bright eyes: "Wife, you are so awesome!"
The young boy casually brushed the tail of the scarf behind him, and said calmly: "It's nothing."
The next moment, she grabbed his hand with her dirty little hand and pulled him back a few steps: "Then you can dig a few holes here too."
Yan Shenjue: “…”
He silently drew his sword, swung it, and put it away. In an instant, there was another row of small pits.
Xinbao went over and dragged the peony branch over, then held both ends in his hands and held it up to him: "Cut it here."
Yan Shenjue: “……?”
Xinbao looked up at him strangely, "You don't know how to do that?"
Who said I can't?! The tool Yan Shenjue could only draw his sword again, swing it, and put it away... He always felt like something was wrong?
there.
Yuan Yaochu hummed a little tune while unloading the truck. When he had almost finished unloading, his second brother came back and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
Yuan Yaochu said excitedly: "I bought a copper pot, let's eat the pot!"
The second elder brother was stunned: "I have used it. Second elder brother Yuan, there is a funeral in my family, and it is not convenient to eat meat before the 49th day of mourning."
"Oh, right!" Yuan Yaochu tapped his head: "Sorry, I forgot."
He carried the mutton and other things back to the car: "I also want to pick some vegetables from your house."
The second brother said, "Please feel free to pick the vegetables. Don't be polite."
"Okay," Yuan Yaochu said, "Then I'll leave a pot for you so you can cook some vegetables for yourself."
As he spoke, he picked up a pot and some ingredients and placed them on the table, then he said, "I'll pick them myself!"
The second brother nodded, and he leisurely picked some cabbage, spinach and mushrooms. There was also a basket of half-dried egg noodles that Mrs. Lin had rolled in the kitchen. The second brother gave half of it and put it in the cart.
Then Yuan Yaochu called out, "Xiao Jue, let's go!"
Yan Shenjue responded, and seeing that Naituanzi had finished planting the flowers, he lifted her sleeve with two fingers and came over to wash her muddy hands, then stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
Xinbao said "oh", straightened his clothes and left.
After seeing him off, the second brother felt a little tired and went into the house to get a cup of tea. However, he saw the money box on the window at a glance. His eyes narrowed and his face darkened.
Outside, Fourth Brother Tang simply picked some vegetable leaves and cooked vegetable noodles. Yuan Yaochu left many kinds of hot pot ingredients, and the brothers and sisters each put some in their bowls. The taste was quite good.
While eating, Xinbao's eyelids kept drooping. Only after Fourth Brother Tang shouted and threatened him did he reluctantly finish half a bowl of noodles. He then leaned into his brother's arms and fell asleep.
The second brother had a lot to say but didn't have time to say it. He helplessly wet his handkerchief and wiped the sesame paste off her mouth.
Xinbao slept for more than an hour.
When she woke up, she was in a daze. Seeing her second brother sitting by the window, reading a book, she called out, "De De."
The second brother didn't respond.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Xinbao turned over in bed in a daze, not knowing how long he had slept. He opened his eyes and called out again: "De De."
He still didn't respond.
Xinbao always felt that something was not quite right.
She tossed and turned several times before finally waking up. She crawled up on the bed and called out for the third time, "De De De."
He looked up at her.
After a while, he sighed, put down the book, came over, put on her shoes, and carried her down to the ground.
Xinbao went to get the water herself and came back. Her second brother held her on his lap and fed her half a cup of hot water.
As Xinbao drank, she turned her big eyes to look at him, but her second brother kept his eyes downcast, expressionless, and didn't look at her either.
After finishing the water, he put down the teacup and let go of her hand, but Xinbao refused to get down and grabbed his arm with one hand: "Oh, you are unhappy?"
The second brother didn't say anything.
Xinbao had slid halfway down, and turned over with great difficulty, crawling back to his lap, holding his face with both hands: "Damn?"
He sighed and looked at her.
Xinbao's big eyes were clear as a mirror, reflecting his appearance.
The second brother sighed again silently.
Then he straightened his expression and said to her, "Xinbao."
Xinbao sensed the unusual atmosphere and nodded obediently: "Hey!"
The second elder brother said sternly, "Xinbao, I don't know if you can understand, but I really want you to understand. Xinbao, people's kindness is priceless, but 'favors' are actually priced. The so-called reciprocity is to exchange favors for favors, but...but Xinbao, not every favor can be repaid by us."
He paused, "Xinbao, you want to see daddy, that's not wrong, you want to eat candy, that's not wrong either, but... Second Brother Yuan and Little Brother Jue sent you to the county town, that's a favor; buying you candy is also a favor. Let's not talk about anything else, just this box of candy..."
He held her little face and asked her to turn back. He looked at the box and said, "Xinbao, you know that the people in our village may work hard for three years and still cannot afford half a box of candy. They may not care about such a gift, but we cannot. We cannot accept such things casually. Do you understand?"
Xinbao felt wronged and murmured, "But, but Xinbao didn't ask him for it..."
"I know, Xinbao," the second brother nodded. He held her face with both hands, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "Xinbao, mom and dad often say that Xinbao is the most beautiful baby in the world. I think so too. Xinbao is beautiful and cute. Many people like Xinbao and are willing to spend time and money on her to make her happy. But Xinbao, asking for something is not just about 'making a request'. 'Accepting gifts' is sometimes a disguised form of asking for something. None of this is allowed. In my opinion, we should firmly refuse something that we don't deserve, even if someone else gives it to you by force."
"Xinbao, in this world, some roads seem to be shortcuts, easy and fast, but in fact, there is an abyss at the end; while some roads are very hard to walk, but everything you get on the road is yours, this is the right way..."
