Hard work

Chapter 22 Sending firewood 【One more】

Aru doesn't know what Lan Hua'er is thinking.

Hearing Lan Huaer sigh suddenly, he turned his head to look at Lan Huaer again:

"what's wrong?"

Lan Hua'er was taken aback, only to realize that she had actually sighed, she quickly shook her head, wanting to smile back and say "nothing".

But before she raised her smiling face, Aru suddenly said:
"Could it be——Lanhuaer, do you like Tiesheng?"

Lan Hua'er was frightened by her and choked on her own saliva, almost coughing up on the spot.

Where is this going? !
As soon as she looked up, she saw Aru's excited expression, and she couldn't help lowering her head again.

If this woman starts to gossip, it really doesn't matter her age.

After thinking about it, Lan Hua'er raised her head and smiled.

"Yes! I like it. Brother Tiesheng helped the house all the way. I also like Aunt Lin, Aunt Liu, and I also like Aru."

She has eaten a lot of meat recently, and there is more oily water in her stomach, and even her face has become plump, and her complexion is no longer the sallow color she just traveled through before.The chin is still sharp, but the cheeks are a little more fleshy, and the worry on the brows has unfolded a little. It's really cute to smile with such a smiling face.

Aru was taken aback.After thinking about it, I was a little discouraged.

Orchid is only a little older, and there is no grandmother at home to teach her what girls should do and play in their homes.Say what you like, isn't it a joke?

Thinking of this, Aru felt a little embarrassed.

He patted the fence around the yard and said:
"I'm out. Come and play with me if you're free."

Lan Hua'er nodded and said yes, and finally dealt with the little girl.Looking back, I find it funny again.It's just a little girl, so it's exhausting for her to deal with it.

Goudan was still a little timid. In front of outsiders, she didn't dare to speak unless she gave orders.

She thought of ways to make Goudan talk all the way, and now it's much smoother.

Gradually she began to encourage Goudan to play outside.

Whenever she was bullied, she would teach Goudan to fight back.If you can't fight, tell her back, and she will take it to fight.

Children don't have any grudges, and they didn't have much grudges in the first place.Lan Huaer fried pine nuts in a pan, and let Goudan grab a handful outside occasionally, and soon made some friends.

There are few people in the village who can't get enough to eat, and there are few people who can give their children some snacks on weekdays.

Goudan got mixed up outside, and Lan Hua'er went to the back mountain with more confidence.

It's just that it's the time when the back hills are green and yellow.The snow is about to melt, and the wild vegetables have just begun to emerge, and it is not yet time to harvest.Even if she managed to dig it out, it was only a little longer than her fingertips, and it was too small to sprinkle in the porridge.And they were all sprouts, she couldn't tell which ones were edible.

Mushrooms and fungus grew near the roots of the tree, but they were just beginning to grow, small and not suitable for eating.

The squirrels are awake and very alert.

It's still okay to squat and catch pheasants.It's just that I'm shivering from the cold every time, and I may not be able to catch up or catch it every time.

In February, she caught a total of five pheasants, and sent half of them to the village chief and half to Langzhong Yang.

She found that the most important thing in this village is human affection.There are no elders in her family, and no one taught her how to deal with things in this ancient times, so she could only observe everything carefully and learn from others.

Thinking about it better, this is also beneficial.

No matter how insane things she did when she traveled here, everyone would just think that "she is not educated by her grandparents", and it is absolutely impossible to change the stuffing in the ladle.

Lan Hua'er still doesn't go out much by herself.

She knew from the scattered words beside her that Lan Hua'er didn't go out much before, she was a quiet and timid girl.Perhaps the grandfather and mother left early and developed a sensitive and slender temperament.Not likable, but pitiful.

Just right, take your time.

It's common for her to stay at home for a while longer, and then say that no one recognizes her later.

Children, where does such a good memory come from?It's time to recognize everyone again.

Changes have to be made slowly. If you are too anxious, it will appear strange.

Lan Hua'er's house was originally at the end of the village, and few people passed by, so no one came to her door again.

At the end of February, a strong man knocked on the gate of her house with a hoe on his shoulder.

Lan Hua'er complained in her stomach: This way of knocking on the door is really special.

But still greeted him.

The burly man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she saw it or what his name was.She thought, maybe they met each other in the village when fetching water.

Because the man's face is very distinctive, the outline of the facial features is deeper than that of the people in the village, and his walking posture is not the same.

Does it look strange?

The man didn't talk much, he pressed the hoe on his shoulder with one hand, and carried a small bundle of firewood tied with vines in one hand, and handed it in over the fence.

Lan Huaer quickly reached out to pick it up.

The man frowned slightly, moved the firewood in his hand aside, and said:
"Shen."

When he spoke, his accent was very strange, with a strong nasal voice in it, not like the dialect of the village, but it made Lan Hua'er feel a bit like a foreigner - thinking about it, even she laughed.In this small village deep in the mountains, where do foreigners come from?

Lan Hua'er couldn't help it, after hearing what he said, she also dodged to the side.

I saw the man throwing the firewood to the ground with his hands, and there was a loud noise, raising a thick layer of dust.

Looking at him, it seems that this is not the first time.

Lan Hua'er pondered for a while, and felt that she should show a normal expression.So he nodded calmly and thanked him again.

She sneaked a look at the man's expression, but saw that the man looked at her with a little surprise.She felt bad in her heart.Could it be that they are not familiar with Lanhuaer, and they are here to sell firewood?
But the man didn't say anything, and he didn't ask for money.Just glanced into the yard.

When he saw the vegetable ridge in the yard, he showed a slightly surprised expression.

Lan Hua'er thought he wanted to talk about something.

In the end he just tapped the fence again with the hoe and said in a thick accent:

"It's time to plant."

"Is it time to start broadcasting Lai Fu?"

The man nodded.He glanced at Lan Hua'er again, then turned around and left like this.Lan Hua'er didn't even have time to say thank you, she had already left without a trace.

His walking posture made Lan Hua'er always feel uncoordinated.

When everyone was gone, Lan Hua'er suddenly remembered - isn't this person just a rider.

People who are used to riding horses have such weird postures when they walk on the ground, as if they are a bit bow-legged.

There was still a bit of sternness on the man unconsciously.

Either ran a dart or served as a soldier, well, in Dayin's words, he was born in the army.Orchid thought so.

But he is a good man.
