"Are you looking at Grandpa?"
Xiaoyu nodded.
Tian Xiaolan said: "Wait a minute, let's go call your grandfather for dinner, okay?"
Xiaoyu still nodded. Tian Xiaolan knew that she was a little shy so she didn't say much to avoid causing her psychological pressure.
Go back to the kitchen, scoop out the porridge from the pot first, find a basin with water in it, then put the small basin of porridge in the basin of water and cover the pot.
Walk up to Xiaoyu and say to her: "Let's go find your grandfather!"
Xiaoyu agreed happily. She couldn't wait to leave and took Tian Xiaolan's hand.
Tian Xiaolan was happy to have her hand held, and she held her hand back, "Do you know where your grandfather and the others are?"
Xiaoyu nodded and pulled her in one direction.
Tian Xiaolan followed her instructions. There were not many people on the road. When she arrived at the edge of the field, she saw Uncle Li and Master Zhu tucked their pants up and bent over to cut rice.
There were still some villagers in the fields, all trying to save the rice.
Tian Xiaolan shouted: "Master Zhu, Uncle Li, it's time to eat!"
"Hey, Old Li, why is there someone cooking for you at home?"
When Lao Li heard the sound, he looked over there and said, "Yes, you guys don't have any. My granddaughter is here too. I'll go back first."
One person looked at his back and could not help but complain: "Go ahead, our house is still cold! You are smart enough to ask someone else to make you a meal."
The two walked to the shore, washed their hands in the clear water, and when they came out, Tian Xiaolan walked over and said, "Master Zhu, do you think these millets can still be harvested?"
Although she also studied agronomy, her field of expertise was different, so she needed to consult professionals.
Zhu Zhi looked in the direction of Tian: "It's okay, the foam is not too strong, it can be beaten."
''That's good.''
Old Li sighed: "It's a good thing you guys came, otherwise they wouldn't be able to move, and whoever did more would be at a disadvantage."
Tian Xiaolan: "This is what we should do. Fortunately, everyone is not confused and has thought clearly."
Old Li found that Xiaoyu did not hug his legs immediately after getting ashore, and now she is still clinging to Tian Xiaolan and does not let go of her clothes. It has not been long before she lets Xiaoyu get close to her. She is so fierce that he admires her even more in his heart.
"Let's go! I'm starving." After breakfast, the bumpy ride on the rig, and the long hours of scooping up the grain, he was already starving.
Lao Li said: "You can have a rest after eating, and we will do the rest."
They can't let the people sent by the town do the work. How can these city people operate the machines when they are tired?
''good.''
When they got to the house, Lao Li said to Xiaoyu: "Go get a basin of water for uncle to wash his hands."
Xiaoyu obediently went to the kitchen, scooped out some water with a ladle, and handed it to Zhu Zhi.
When Lao Li saw her, he brought it out directly without pouring it out. He sighed and said, "Didn't I ask you to get a basin? How can he wash it like this?"
Xiaoyu was stunned when she was told that. Tian Xiaolan saw that she looked helpless and said, "I used the basin at home to hold porridge. Uncle, please don't scold her. She is very good and even helped me watch the fire."
"How could I have scolded her? I rarely say anything about her." Old Li looked at the motionless Xiaoyu, feeling a little sad. He and Xiaoyu depended on each other for survival, so how could he possibly scold her? "Aren't there two basins at home? Did you use both?"
Tian Xiaolan said: "I used them all. One is for porridge and the other is for cooling it down."
Zhu Zhi felt his head was buzzing from what they were saying, so he interrupted: "Okay, let's eat first. Little girl, just help me rinse it."
Xiaoyu looked at Tian Xiaolan, wanting to listen to her.
Tian Xiaolan noticed her gaze, smiled and winked at her: “Listen to this uncle, your grandpa won’t scold you.”
Xiaoyu nodded, took the melon scoop outside and waited for him to come.
Zhu Zhi walked over, washed his hands, and went into the house.
Tian Xiaolan brought out the porridge and started eating.
"Brother, do you know where we're staying tonight?"
"This? I'm not sure."
Seeing Uncle Li hesitating and unable to say anything, Zhu Zhi's heart was as clear as a mirror.
"It seems we should leave now. They don't welcome us." Zhu Zhi didn't even bother eating and got up to leave.
Old Li didn't dare let the man escape, or the village chief would say he hadn't treated him well enough. So he quickly said, "You can stay at my house. I have two beds. Xiaoyu and Sister Tian can sleep together, and I'll sleep with you. Is that okay with you?"
Zhu Zhi stopped and said, "That's fine."
Seeing that he finally stopped leaving, I didn't chase him.
Several people sat at the corner of the square table drinking porridge. The porridge in the bowl was white and sticky, and there were a few orange sweet potatoes in it, which looked appetizing.
Xiaoyu blew on it and drank it, then licked the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "It's delicious."
Seeing his granddaughter's happy face, he also took a sip with ease. The rice in his mouth was soft and a little sweet. If it weren't for the fact that Tian Xiaolan's family had no rice to eat, his decision to keep them would have been absolutely correct.
"You really can cook! I told you you're too modest!"
Tian Xiaolan smiled and said, "As long as you like it, I just cooked this, but your sweet potatoes are still better."
Old Li said somewhat embarrassedly, "You don't have much to eat when you stay at my house, and I can't afford to entertain you. I'm sorry to bother you." Not only could he not afford to entertain you, but you also had to eat the food that Tian Xiaolan brought.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter what you eat."
Zhu Zhi said, "Hurry up and eat. The temperature is just right now. It will get cold later."
Tian Xiaolan slowly drank the porridge in her mouth, feeling like she was about to faint. She couldn't go on like this, so she asked Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, do you have any lobsters, crabs, or anything like that in the ditch here?"
Old Li was a little surprised: "Yes, yes, you want to catch it?" How come she doesn't feel tired at all and wants to go out? Old Li feels that she is full of energy now. What if she takes Xiaoyu to the river and falls into it?
Zhu Zhi advised: "Don't go to the river. Your mother specifically told me about your situation. You almost died last time, and you're still going there!"
When Old Li heard that Tian Xiaolan couldn't swim, he was even more afraid to let her go to the river. If something happened, how would he tell his family?
"Last time was last time. I can actually swim, otherwise why would I be on the shore alone? Think about it, don't worry, I will be fine." She said this while looking at Uncle Li, because she wanted him to take her there, otherwise she would not be able to find it for a while.
"Don't worry, I won't take Xiaoyu with me!"
Seeing her resolute attitude, he had no choice but to change his mind: "You can go, but you must let me go with you, otherwise you can stay here."
Tian Xiaolan felt that he had backed down, so she nodded and agreed: "I will definitely listen to you."
