184 Is the world outside beautiful?

Fu Yuanhang looked at Xiao Meizi and said, "We just passed by and caught it. I didn't know you found it first."

It was a coincidence. If Fu Yuanhang hadn't picked up the big snail, he wouldn't have found it.

Xiao Meizi had a small face, which made her eyes look particularly big. They were embedded in her wheat-colored skin, and she looked energetic: "Fu Yuanhang, is that you? You've become much whiter, I can't recognize you."

Fu Yuanhang nodded: "It's me."

Xiao Meizi's big eyes suddenly dimmed, and she forced a smile: "If you caught it, it's okay. It wasn't mine originally. I just found it."

Fu Yuanhang thought for a while and said: "In There are frogs in my cage, it's hard to take them out now, I'll give you the catfish after I get the frogs out."

Xiao Meizi's eyes lit up at first, then dimmed quickly, she waved her hands and said, "No, no, the things in the fields belong to everyone, not to me personally, whoever picks them up first gets them."

Fu Yuanhang took out two meat tickets and a little more than a dollar from his pocket and stuffed them into Xiao Meizi's hands:

"This fish is too fishy, ​​not suitable for your grandmother to eat. My sister-in-law likes to eat catfish. I will exchange this with you. You can take it to the commune to buy some food that grandma can eat."

Su Taotao is used to leaving some money and tickets for Fu Yuanhang to use, and she also cultivates his habit of making his own decisions. He is in charge of how to use it, and she never asks. Over time, the current Fu Yuanhang is completely different from the cowardly Fu Yuanhang before.

Even Zhou Linglan was shocked by the changes in her youngest son. Su Taotao is much better at teaching children than she is.

Fu Yuanhang, who would help Su Taotao when cooking, also knew that catfish, a scaleless fish that grows in mud, is the fishiest. It requires great skills or a lot of oil to make it delicious. Xiao Meizi's family does not have these conditions.

Xiao Meizi shook her head again and again: "I don't want it, how can I do this? You caught the fish, even if I brought a dustpan, I might not be able to catch it without a net bag, I don't want it!"

Grandma taught her since she was a child that even if you are poor, you can still be ambitious, and don't be greedy for cheap things.

Zhou Linglan took the money and food coupons and stuffed them directly into Xiao Meizi's pocket: "This is for grandma, not for you. It's not safe for you to be here alone at this late hour. Come back with us, and don't come here alone at night in the future."

Xiao Meizi wiped her tears again. She didn't want to come here either, but there were too many people on the main road, and she didn't have a flashlight, so she couldn't beat them at all.

She nodded: "Okay, thank you."

Poor child, Zhou Linglan smiled and shook her head, and said nothing more.

Xiao Meizi lowered her head and followed them to the main road: "I'm going to wash in the river, you guys go back first."

Zhou Linglan knew that it was not easy for her family to fetch water, and she was worried about her going to the river alone so late, so she said: "Let's go wash too, let's go together."

The group went to the river to wash their faces, hands and feet, and returned to the road to prepare to go their separate ways.

Fu Yuanhang suddenly asked her, "Are you still studying now?"

Xiao Meizi nodded and smiled shyly, "Yes, my grandma said that she would support me until I graduated from high school even if she had to eat rice bran and vegetable leaves. After you left, I always got the first place in the exam."

Fu Yuanhang nodded, "That's good. You should keep studying and you will have a chance to see the outside world in the future."

Xiao Meizi tilted her head to look at Fu Yuanhang, "Is the outside world beautiful?"

Fu Yuanhang nodded, "It's beautiful."

There are many things in the outside world that are not found in the mountains. Of course, there are also many things in the mountains that are not found in the outside world.

For example, the vast rice fields, the fragrance of rice flowers, the flowing water in the mountain streams, the frogs and catfishes…

Xiao Meizi’s bright eyes were full of longing: “It would be great if I could go and have a look too.”

Fu Yuanhang took out a small notebook filled with drawings of the outside world that he always carried with him from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Meizi: “I just drew it casually, you can take a look at it when you have time.”

Xiao Meizi took it carefully: “Here, is this for me?”

Fu Yuanhang nodded: “Please keep it for me, and return it to me when you have seen the real thing in the future.”

Xiao Meizi smiled with her big eyes, as beautiful as the crescent moon in the sky: “Okay.”

…

Mumu rarely saw Fu Yuanhang being so nice to a classmate, and was extremely curious.

"Ah Hang, why are you so nice to her? You're not so nice to me! I asked you for a painting and you hesitated for a long time, but you just gave her the whole album!"

Fu Yuanhang: "..." speechless.

"You asked me to draw you shooting, so I naturally had to wait until you shoot before drawing."

Mumu was still not convinced: "Then you gave her the whole album!"

Fu Yuanhang was even more speechless: "Mumu, what have you not seen that I have seen?

Do you know how difficult it is for people like us to go out of the mountains and see the outside world?

Before I followed my sister-in-law to join my brother, I had not even been to the commune many times."

Mumu was silent.

Not only was Mumu silent, but even Zhou Linglan was silent when listening to the conversation between the two children.

"Ahhang, it's mom's fault."

Fu Yuanhang was stunned and shook his head: "Mom, that's not what I meant."

Zhou Linglan touched his head: "I know you are not, but mom did not do well and almost delayed you."

Fu Yuanhang has only been away for two months, and he has changed drastically. If he had stayed here, he would really have delayed such a good child.

Fu Yuanhang still shook his head: "Mom, don't think so. My sister-in-law said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is not to leave my hometown, but to come back here one day. I have already mastered all the skills and have the ability to make my hometown better.

I don't have the ability to make my hometown better now, but I see my former classmates, such hard-working classmates, and I hope she can become better."

Su Taotao is the beacon of his life. She has always led him and guided him to walk a better and broader road, so that he can become a better person.

He knows how important it is to have a guide.

He naturally can't do to Xiaomeizi what his sister-in-law does to him, but he also hopes to guide her for a short distance, even if it is just a small step.

God will definitely give such a hard-working girl good luck.

Zhou Linglan looked at him with satisfaction: "Ahang has really grown up."

Mumu grabbed Fu Yuanhang's neck and jumped up and down as usual: "Okay, okay, I know I blamed you wrongly. I am your best friend, right?"

"Yes." Fu Yuanhang said helplessly.

I don't know why, but Mumu is very persistent about his ranking as a good friend in Fu Yuanhang's mind. He must be the first.

Mumu: "No one can shake it, right?"

Fu Yuanhang: "Yes."

Mumu: "That's about right."

Zhou Linglan looked at the backs of the two children and felt that even if she closed her eyes tomorrow, she would be able to die with a smile on her face.
