Hard work

Chapter 60
Lan Hua'er took deep breaths several times before suppressing the annoyance and fear in her heart.

She knew it wasn't Honghuabai and Maiqing's fault.Even without the presence of these two people, she originally planned to work hard to earn money to buy the land.It was only because of their appearance that she got the money in advance, which made her look a little dazzling in the village.

After the mood stabilized, Lan Huaer asked Goudan again carefully.

This happened at noon.

Goudan has been enlightened by Lang Zhong during the day recently. Many people in the village know about it, and even talk about it behind their backs.It's just that I didn't put it in front of Lan Hua'er.Even Aru, who has been locked up at home all the time, knows that he once dragged Lan Huaer in private and said:
"Where can I stand such waste at home?"

Lan Hua'er naturally knew that this was a good intention, and she was afraid that she would force herself.The situation of the Zhao family is well known to everyone. If there is any money left to enlighten Goudan, he should put Goudan at home and help out more.

The understanding of reading and literacy among the people in this village is still at a very backward stage.Lan Hua'er even suspected that if Gaihua hadn't worked in the town and happened to have a good employer who taught him a lot, he probably wouldn't have agreed to share things from the house and let Goudan go to Yang Langzhong. There enlightenment goes.

At that time, she just smiled and didn't argue with Ajudo.From Aru's point of view, the most real happiness is to grow some food for the family.Whether it's eating at home or taking it for money.

For farmers, the most important thing is the land, and the most reliable thing is the harvest.

The happiest thing for a rural girl like Aru is to marry a farmer with a lot of land and kind parents.

Lan Hua'er does not object to such a comfortable and somewhat negative thought, on the contrary, she actually yearns for such a life.Safe and comfortable, who doesn't like it.

So even though she knew that many people in the village didn't understand what she was doing, she just persisted silently and didn't intend to explain anything to everyone.

At that time, everyone knew that the Zhao family was so poor that they could hardly afford a single grain of rice, so naturally no one would think much about it.

But ever since Honghuabai appeared—or since Mai Qing left the village with Honghuabai, the way people in the village looked at Lan Huaer changed.

Lan Hua'er has always been worried about the safety of her home.

After all, there were only her and Goudan, two little kids who weren't even half-grown, at home. Even if something happened, they were completely powerless to resist.That's why she was cautious again and again, and she even thought about completely rejecting the money Mai Qing offered her.

It's just that the people in the village were very simple before.Even if they don't understand, it's just gossip behind their backs, and it doesn't make things difficult for them.Lan Hua'er gradually relaxed her thoughts.

She was still wondering if she was too careful yesterday, but today she wished that she never got Mai Qing's money.

Goudan didn't see clearly who that person was.

He was said a few words by Yang Langzhong today, so he didn't insist on continuing to practice calligraphy after school, but went home a little earlier, just in time to meet the thief who was wandering around the house, and put everything in the house Turned over, looking for something.

Goudan was a kid after all, he was taken aback at the time, and then jumped in screaming.

The man in the room was obviously taken aback by Goudan's yelling, and instinctively reached out to cover his face, grabbed the chair next to him, swung it up and hit Goudan in the direction.Goudan was short in stature, only reaching the height of the opponent's waist, and was hit on the head by the chair that hit him in an instant, and the whole person flew out.

If Tie Sheng hadn't heard the voice and went over to have a look, maybe that person had--

Lan Hua'er was listening to the frightened, and couldn't help regretting that she was too careless.If she hadn't taken the money from Mai Qing, this might not have happened; or, if she hadn't freed up the money saved by the family to buy food immediately after receiving the money, maybe the thief would have done nothing. Will come.

Goudan finished talking with his mouth pouting next to him, and seeing Lan Hua'er burst into tears as if he was about to cry again, he couldn't help but panic, tugged at Lan Hua'er's sleeve, and said in a low voice:
"Sister, don't cry. I, I will earn the money back in the future!"

Lan Hua'er was taken aback for a moment, but was dumbfounded by what he said.He reached out to pat Goudan's head, but suddenly remembered that Goudan's head was wrapped like a rice dumpling, so he couldn't pat it, so he smiled wryly and bit his lower lip:
"I don't feel sorry for Yinzi. My sister loves your injury."

On the contrary, Goudan himself didn't care much, and wanted to scratch the back of his head with his hand, but Lan Hua'er grabbed it.

"It's not a serious injury. Donkeys and the others also broke their heads when they were playing. I'm fine. Sister doesn't cry."

Lan Hua'er thought to herself, if you were such a man, why would you keep screaming in pain when Mr. Cai bandaged you up just now.

But she really felt speechless.

Her younger brother is so sensible, even though he was injured, he actually turned around to comfort her as a sister.She can't make Goudan worry.

After both of them finished talking, Lan Huaer remembered to thank Yang Langzhong and Tiesheng.

Yang Langzhong waved his hand beside him and said:

"Jing is my disciple. Besides, if I didn't have to go to the doctor today and let him go home early, this would not have happened. You don't have to thank me, just send the fish twice more."

He knew that Lan Hua'er was not a person who liked to take advantage, and he didn't say that he would not charge a consultation fee.

Tie Sheng also followed and waved his hands in a panic:

"I can't thank Sister Lanhua, but I just took a look at home all day. Unfortunately, I didn't see who it was. I don't know who it is in the village. If I catch it, I should send it to the village chief."

Looking at Lan Hua'er's face, Tie Sheng said again:

"You are at home now...do you want someone to tell you to change flowers back to the village?"

Lan Hua'er listened beside her, shaking her head slightly.

Goudan immediately showed a longing look.Even if he pretended not to care in front of Lan Hua'er, he was still just a five or six year old kid.When encountering such a thing, how could he not be afraid, it was only after Lan Hua'er sobbed in front of him that he felt that he could not cry in front of sister, which made sister worry.In fact, before Lan Hua'er returned to the village, he had cried once in front of Yang Langzhong and Tie Sheng, so he wouldn't want Elder Brother to go home.

Tiesheng said this for the sake of Lanhuaer and Goudan.

Lan Hua'er looked down at Goudan again, and finally nodded:

"Then...then I will trouble Brother Tiesheng..."

[I am not feeling well today, and I have been paying attention to the news of the Ya’an earthquake, helping friends who are able to donate supplies to make a list of supplies.I hope the disaster-stricken area will be fine, and I also hope that the army doctors and volunteers who went in to provide disaster relief will be fine.】
