Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 206

Before they set off, the three of them didn't forget to go to Xiaoxue to make sure that Xiaoxue didn't need help, so they went up the mountain.

Xiao Hei was also brought out of the house, but he didn't let him follow up the mountain, but let him stay beside Xiao Xue.

With the incident of Ren Yazi stealing children before, everyone has a relatively high sense of crisis, and their home is a bit far from the village. Under normal circumstances, they would not leave a child alone at home.

It can be said that Xiao Hei is the bodyguard of the family, and it is really not an exaggeration.

The three walked up the mountain with great interest, and soon came to the side of the familiar water pool.

It is still the same as before, leaving aside the lotus leaves, the water in the pool is crystal clear, and the lotus seeds are still thrown by Xiaomi.

But this water pool is obviously not like what I saw. On one side of the water pool, it is only half a person's height, and there are many finger-sized fish swimming around.

On the other side, it was deep and dark, with occasional sunlight shining into the water through the gaps, and a deep pit could be vaguely seen under the water surface.

The pit gets smaller and smaller as you go down, and you can even see the bottom of the pool.

It was mud and fallen branches, but it was known that beneath the mud there was another real source of water.

It was that area, which had saved countless nearby villagers before, but now it was blocked by silt and fallen leaves and branches again, but no one dared to carelessly touch it.

The three millets are not that curious, and even when there are no adults around, they will not go into the water at all.

"There are a lot of lotus pods, you should be able to eat them. Brother Ziang, give me the scissors. I'll try it."

Jiang Wei was a little eager to try, took the large scissors with long handles that Wei Ziang handed over, and pointed at a lotus pod a little further away, with a 'click' sound, the lotus pod snapped off.

Then he pulled the lotus pod over with large scissors so that Xiaomi and Wei Ziang who were waiting on the bank could pick it up.

"It's tender, take it home and eat slowly!"

Jiang Wei became excited when he heard it, and with a clicking sound, all the mature lotus pods were cut off.

The water pool is not big, and there are not many lotus pods, only a dozen or so, some of which are already getting old and cannot be eaten raw.

But it doesn't matter, you can dry the stew, the dried lotus seeds in the town are very valuable.

A few people hurriedly cut off some old yellow leaves by the way, picked them up and threw them aside, and the pool looked much better in an instant.

While playing in the water, Xiaomi put some spiritual springs into the pool.

After so many years, the spirit spring in her space has not changed at all.

It's not just that Lingquan has not changed, except for the increase in various agricultural and sideline products, everything else is exactly the same as a few years ago.

In particular, the awareness of the space where Xiaomi could communicate with her that he had been thinking about before, has never felt it for the second time until now.

Even Xiaomi once wondered if he had heard hallucinations before.

However, whether it is an auditory hallucination or not, it does not affect Xiaomi's use of space and Lingquan water.

After picking the lotus pods and cleaning up the withered lotus leaves, the three of them headed back home. Although they had traveled so far, there were at least a dozen lotus pods, worth it!
When they got home, Xiaoxue had already fed the pigs and was about to go to the river to wash clothes.

The three quickly followed up to help. There are too many people in the family, and they usually wash their own clothes. When they are too busy, they have to wash their parents' clothes together.

It's getting hot now, but fortunately there are a few big trees by the river, hiding in the shade to wash clothes, it's still very cool.

Probably because they inherited their parents' personalities, the Jiang family's children don't go to the village every day, and when they have time, they help the family with some housework, or read and learn.

It can be said that so far, except for the good relationship with the two brothers of Liu Yang's family, with other children in the village, they have stopped at the stage of acquaintance.

Especially Xiaoxue, other people would occasionally go around the fields, catch fish and eels, and meet other children.

As for Xiaoxue, in addition to doing housework and learning to read, she embroiders and makes clothes.

It's really true that the gate is not out, and the second gate is not open, so that even now, even the few children of the same age in the village can't recognize them all.

As a result, when a seven or eight-year-old girl appeared by the river, the sisters all looked at a loss.

When the girl appeared by the river, they all saw it, but because they were either unfamiliar or didn't know each other, they ignored it.

Unexpectedly, the girl came directly towards them, and the sisters stopped what they were doing at the same time, and looked at her puzzled.

The girl thought she was also frightened by the eyes of several people, she shrank nervously, and then she pretended to be strong and tried to show a smile.

"Excuse me, are you sister Xiaoxue?"

Xiaoxue looked back at her blankly: "I'm Xiaoxue, are you looking for me? I don't know you."

The girl blushed, and Xiaomi hurriedly said: "Second sister, she is also from the village. I have met her a few times before. She lives at the head of the village, quite far from our home."

The head of a village is the end of a village, isn't it very far away?

As for the name, Xiaomi couldn't say it for a while, so he could only look at the girl with his second sister.

The girl looked like an introverted child, and she became more nervous when she was seen, but she still gritted her teeth and tried to be strong.

"My name is Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua. I live by the river at the head of the village. My father's name is Zhang Li. He worked for your family during busy farming seasons."

Xiaomi's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "It's you. I heard Uncle Zhang talk about you. Uncle Zhang said that you are amazing. You raised more than [-] chickens and two pigs by yourself!"

This is not just talk, but a real kind of raising. She has been taking care of it alone since she bought it, looking for pigweed, cleaning the pig pen and chicken pen, cooking and feeding, etc.

Anyway, it's the kind that doesn't have any help from adults at all!
The relationship between Uncle Zhang and her father is pretty good. Every time the family is overwhelmed by the busy farming season, Uncle Zhang is basically among the people who come to work.

In addition to the eldest daughter, Uncle Zhang’s family also has two sons, a younger sister, and a pair of parents. The couple must work hard to support the family.

Being praised by Xiaomi, Zhang Xiaohua blushed even more, but she waved her hands again and again: "No, no, you are amazing, taking care of so many chickens, ducks and geese at home."

Xiaomi smiled and said, "There are many of us. You are alone. By the way, sister Xiaohua, why are you looking for my second sister?"

When Zhang Xiaohua was talking to her, she kept peeking at her second sister, and when she came to find them just now, she just called her by her name.

From a glance, it was obvious that he was looking for the second sister.

Xiaoxue also looked at her puzzled, which made Zhang Xiaohua even more nervous.

But the nervousness is the nervousness, and the business is still not forgotten.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Xiaoxue expectantly: "Sister Xiaoxue, can I learn embroidery from you?"

Probably because she was afraid of Xiaoxue's refusal, she hurriedly explained after speaking: "Don't worry, I will pay the tuition fee, but, I just have to wait, and when I earn money, I will definitely pay you back in the future."

Zhang Xiaohua spoke anxiously and nervously, afraid that Xiaoxue might not hear clearly, even more afraid that she would refuse.

Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment: "Embroidery? Learn from me? But I can't embroider very well either."

Zhang Xiaohua's face was immediately disappointed, and her mood was instantly depressed, but she still forced a smile: "This, this, that, that's annoying, I'll go back first."

With that said, he turned around and prepared to go back.

"Wait a minute, sister Xiaohua." Xiaomi quickly stopped her.

Xiaomi's eyes rolled: "Sister Xiaohua, we will finish our work soon, or you can wait for us and go back with us. By the way, can you tell me why you learn embroidery?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Xiaoxue, then nodded: "Okay, you still have some clothes, I'll help you wash them together."

After speaking, he strode over, squatted directly next to them, and then picked up a piece of dirty laundry to wash, without being nervous at all.

Xiaomi probably saw something.

Although I don't know why, but Zhang Xiaohua is really here for the second sister, and wants to learn embroidery from the second sister.

Just now the second sister said that she was not good at embroidering, but she was telling the truth. The second sister really felt that she was not very good at embroidery.

But when Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she thought that the second sister was rejecting her, so she was very disappointed.

But Xiaomi can also see that although Zhang Xiaohua is very disappointed, she has no resentment or anything like that.

But thinking about it, eight or nine-year-old children don't have so many vicious emotions.

That's why Xiaomi stopped Zhang Xiaohua and asked her second sister to chat with her a few more words, and asked her why she found her second sister.

After all, after so many years, this is the first time someone has taken the initiative to find the second sister.

Of course, Xiaomi also has another selfish intention. It has been six and a half to seven years since she was born, and the second sister has always been around her younger siblings and all kinds of housework.

A nine-year-old girl, she doesn't even have a friend of her own, how lonely she is.

It doesn't matter whether Xiaoxue is really lonely or not, anyway, Xiaomi thinks that the second sister is so lonely.

Since there are peers who are sent to the door, they seem to have a good personality, and the parents have a good relationship with their own parents. It would be great if they could become good friends with the second sister.

At least, when she wants to go to the mountains to play in the future, she doesn't have to worry that the second sister will be bored at home alone.

With this in mind, Xiaomi chatted with Zhang Xiaohua with a smile.

Soon Xiaomi understood that this little flower was not an introvert, and she spoke smoothly when talking to her and asking her anything.

I was so nervous just now, probably because I wanted to find Xiaoxue to learn embroidery, and there was no tuition fee, so I was too embarrassed.

"By the way, sister Xiaohua, why do you want to learn embroidery? I don't like to learn it. I'm so tired. My back hurts after sitting for a while, and my eyes are blurry."

Xiaomi pursed her mouth, with a look of lingering fear on her face.

Xiaoxue couldn't help laughing: "Your restless temperament, of course you feel tired, but I don't feel tired, I feel fine all day long."

After finishing speaking, she also looked at Xiaohua curiously: "But Xiaohua, what Xiaomi said is right, it takes a lot of time to embroider, why do you want to learn, are you busy?"

Probably after talking for a while, the girls became familiar with each other, and Zhang Xiaohua was not so nervous when she talked about her desire to embroider.

But when Xiaoxue asked, she still looked at the two boys next to her and saw that they were a little further away, so she lowered her voice, as if whispering.

"I've heard people say that if a girl can have a skill that can earn her own money, she can find a better family in the future, and after she gets married, she can also subsidize the family. Her parents-in-law and husband-in-law will treat her better and her life will be easier. a little."

Xiaoxue blushed, getting married or something, she was a girl, so she was a little shy when she heard such a topic.

Xiaomi didn't care about being careless, but seeing that the two sisters were so cautious, they also lowered their voices.

"Sister Xiaohua, you seem to be only eight or nine years old. Why did you worry about getting married so early?"

Besides, with the current popularity of Fu'an Village, the girls in the village can basically marry a good family, and it is easier for young men to marry a wife than in other villages.

So when Zhang Xiaohua mentioned this reason, Xiaomi was really surprised.

However, Xiaohua was only embarrassed for a moment, and then continued.

"When I was 13, I was about to start kissing. I am also nine years old, only four years old. I heard that embroidery is difficult to learn, so I wanted to learn it early."

However, since Xiaoxue doesn't teach her how to embroider, then she has to rethink and learn something else.

And Xiaomi was already stunned, and forgot to lower his voice, and exclaimed directly: "13 years old? So young?"

In my previous life, I was 13 years old and only in the sixth grade!
However, this sentence directly attracted everyone's attention, Xiaoxue Xiaohua blushed, and Qi Qi reached out to cover her mouth.

"Be quiet!"

Then Xiaoxue looked to the side in embarrassment, Jiang Wei and Wei Ziang looked at them in confusion.

"Xiao Wei, Zi Ang, you guys go back first, take the clean clothes back to dry, and we will do the rest by ourselves."

"for……"

Jiang Wei still wanted to ask something, but was held back by Wei Ziang, who already understood a little: "Okay, second sister, then let's go back first."

As he spoke, he forcibly pulled Jiang Wei back.

Of course, I didn't forget to take the washed clothes back.

When the two boys left, Xiaoxue and Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief, making Xiaomi want to laugh but didn't dare to.

When they walked away, both of them became more courageous, and their voices also increased.

Xiaoxue didn't feel embarrassed anymore, she said to Zhang Xiaohua while doing laundry.

"You said it was because of this. Although I am not good at embroidery, I can barely take over the work of the embroidery factory in the past two years. If you want to learn, come to me when you have time. I will teach you."

Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed: "Really? That's great, thank you sister Xiaoxue, don't worry, when I earn money, I will definitely pay the teaching fee!"

Xiaoxue shook her head: "There is no tuition fee, but embroidery requires a lot of embroidery thread and cloth. You have to tell your parents first, and let them buy more of these things for you."

Zhang Xiaohua's face suddenly showed hesitation and embarrassment. This is indeed a more troublesome and embarrassing place. After all, she is not sure whether her parents are willing to buy these things for her.

"I, I'll go back and ask them first."

Xiaomi was surprised: "Sister Xiaohua, you want to learn embroidery, haven't you told your parents yet?"

Xiaoxue was also very surprised, she said that she would use a lot of embroidery thread to embroider cloth, just to remind Zhang Xiaohua and her parents, didn't expect that the adults of Xiaohua's family didn't know about this?
Zhang Xiaohua sighed: "Not yet, I originally wanted to tell them after asking sister Xiaoxue."

Now it seems that it is a bit difficult.

After all, not every parent is willing to spend too much money on their daughter.

Xiaomi saw Zhang Xiaohua's predicament, and rolled her eyes: "Sister Xiaohua, I have a way..."
