184 Is the world outside beautiful?

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

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

Xiao Meizi has a small face, which makes her eyes look particularly large. They are set against her wheat-colored skin, and she looks 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 took it away, then it's fine. It wasn't mine in the first place, I just found it."

Fu Yuanhang thought for a moment and said, "There are frogs in my cage. It's hard to take them out now. I'll take the frogs out when I get back and then give you the catfish."

Xiao Meizi's big 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. Whoever picks it up first gets it."

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

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

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

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

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

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

Her grandmother taught her since she was young that even if you are poor, you should still have high aspirations, and you should not be greedy when you get something cheap.

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 so late. 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 catch up with them at all.

She nodded. "Okay, thank you."

Poor child, Zhou Linglan smiled and shook her head without saying anything else.

Xiao Meizi lowered her head and followed them to the road: "I'm going to the river to wash, you 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 at night, so she said, "Let's go wash 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 have a chance to see the outside world in the future."

Xiao Meizi tilted her head and looked at Fu Yuanhang: "Is the world outside beautiful?"

Fu Yuanhang nodded: "It looks good."

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 mountains, the frogs and catfish...

Xiao Meizi's bright eyes were full of longing: "I wish I could go and see it too."

Fu Yuanhang took out a small notebook filled with drawings of the outside world from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Meizi: "I just drew this casually. You can take a look at it when you have time."

Xiao Meizi took it carefully and said, "Here, is this for me?"

Fu Yuanhang nodded: "Please keep it for me. When you see the real thing in the future, return it to me."

Xiao Meizi curled her big eyes and smiled, 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 that nice to me! You hesitated for a long time when I asked you for a painting, and you just gave her the whole album!"

Fu Yuanhang: “…” He was speechless.

"If you want me to draw you shooting, I will wait until you shoot before I draw you."

Mumu still refused to accept: "Then you just give her the whole picture book!"

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 get out of the mountains and see the outside world?

Before I followed my sister-in-law to live with my brother, I had only been to the commune a few times. "

Mumu was silent.

Not only Mumu was silent, but even Zhou Linglan was silent as she listened to the conversation between the two children.

"Ah Hang, it's Mom's fault."

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

Zhou Linglan touched his head and said, "I know you are not, but mother did not do a good job and almost delayed you."

Fu Yuanhang has only been out for two months, and he has changed drastically. If he stays here, it will really delay the development of 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 trained a lot of skills and have the ability to make my hometown better.

I don’t have the ability to make my hometown better yet, but seeing my former classmates working so hard, I hope they can become better.”

Su Taotao is the beacon of his life. She has always led him and guided him to take a better and broader path, allowing him to become a better person.

He knows how important it is to have a guide.

Of course, he couldn't do for Xiaomei what his sister-in-law did for him, but he also hoped to guide her a little, even if it was just a small step.

God will definitely bring good luck to a girl who works so hard.

Zhou Linglan looked at him with satisfaction: "Ah Hang 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 undisputed number one.

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

Fu Yuanhang: "Yes."

Mumu: “That’s pretty good.”

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.
