Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 44
Zheng Jian got out of the taxi, put his backpack on his left shoulder, and stood at the head of Zhoujiazhuang, sighing that he finally arrived.He came to Quancheng by long-distance bus this morning, and his father asked him to call his sister when he entered the station and asked her to pick him up.But he felt that this was not the first time he came to Quancheng. He used to bring things to his sister by car, and he was familiar with Quancheng. Besides, isn't the mouth under the nose? If you don't know the way, you can ask.

As a result, I didn't expect that there was only one bus going to this place, and it only went to the junction of the western part of the city and the urban area. If I went from the bus station, I would have to back up twice.Zheng Jian thought for a while, and decided to take a taxi, so he hailed a taxi on the side of the road and told the driver the address given by his sister.The taxi drove for more than 40 minutes, and he felt that he had encountered a black driver who was swindling customers, and finally arrived at his destination.

Alas, my sister is so amazing, I dare to live in such a remote place.Zheng Jian tightened his backpack and walked into the village.After asking the villagers on the road, they found Meng Zhen's house.

"Is it Xiong Xiong?" Zheng Jian pushed open the half-closed door and was looking around when a half-sized wolfhound came out from the east bedroom and blocked in front of him.

"Woof~" Xiong Xiong stared at him warily, and called out a warning.

"I'm Meng Zhen's younger brother. I've seen your photos. It's in my sister's phone. By the way, what about Lei Ao, I haven't seen a living Tibetan mastiff yet?"

Zheng Jian bent over and greeted Xiong Xiong.When Meng Zhen came home, he told his family about his two dogs.He was very curious when he heard it, the Tibetan mastiff was too shocking, so he asked his sister if there were any pictures of dogs, and he was overwhelmed by his eye addiction.Coincidentally, Meng Zhen had just changed to a new mobile phone. When she bought the mobile phone, the promoter said that the camera of the mobile phone was 500 megapixels, so she tried it when she got home.Xiong Xiong and Lei Ao are the best models. Seeing that Zheng Jian is interested in his dog, Meng Zhen shows him the photos stored in his mobile phone.The picture is very clear, and it is not blurred when I put it on the computer. In the photo, Xiong Xiong is sitting under the pomegranate tree, looking far away, as if in meditation; while Lei Ao is hot, listless, lying on the ground with his tongue sticking out, like a dead dog .

"Woof~ woof~" Sister?The owner is working in the manor, so tell it to keep an eye on the door before going in, and call if anyone is there, and don't bite first.

"Hey, I didn't lie to you, I'm really Meng Zhen's younger brother!"

Seeing the raging bear approaching him, Zheng Jian thought it was about to bite, so he hurriedly backed away: "Sister, I'm Zheng Jian, are you home? Sister——"

Meng Zhen was picking up vegetable seedlings in the manor. His own wheat fields had already been harvested, the walls of the vegetable garden had been built, and the hut would be finished in a few days, so he freed up his hands to clean up the vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Village head Meng urged her several times overtly and secretly. Now that she had finished grinding the flour and had nothing else to do at home, she simply moved the vegetable seedlings from the red soil to the prepared wooden boxes.

While she was busy, she hurried out of the manor when she heard the blazing noise.In the past, she couldn't hear the movement outside the manor. Since she and the two dogs ate the "ginseng fruit", she found that she could hear their voices outside the manor, even at a long distance.Of course, other people's voices are still inaudible. This is probably the induction between them.

"Xiong Xiong, sit down!" Seeing Zheng Jian carrying a big bag, Meng Zhen took a few steps back as if he was about to run, and Xiong Xiong also made a gesture of biting.

"Oh, my god! Sister, you are here, why is this dog so scary?"

Zheng Jian originally wanted to establish a relationship with the dog in advance, but he was almost chased away.

"Look at you in such a mess, why don't you call when you come, so I can pick you up!" Meng Zhen patted the dirt on his hand and walked over.

"Hey, didn't I want to surprise you, sister, you're the only one at home, isn't this dog too fierce?"

When Zheng Jian saw his sister coming out, Xiong Xiong sat obediently and rushed over.

"Surprise me, I was scared by the dog!" Meng Zhen reached out to take his bag, but Zheng Jian didn't give it to him, patted the bag, indicating that it was heavy and carried it on his back.

"A little bit, this dog is not big, but quite imposing. Where's the Tibetan Mastiff, isn't he at home?"

Zheng Jian followed her sister and watched her wash her hands in the basin next to the machine well in the yard. He looked around: my sister's yard is very large, covering more than 100 square meters, half of which is planted with vegetables, and the other side is planted There are many flowers; the other half is planted with more than a dozen trees, such as persimmons and Chinese toon trees.

"Lei Ao, it's in the lotus pond. There are fish in it. Recently, the farm has started to prepare for the wheat harvest. There are many people coming and going, so let him watch it there! Come on, let's go into the house!"

Meng Zhen washed his hands well, and led his younger brother into the living room: "Sit by yourself, drink tea or drink?"

It was almost time to plant awns, and the temperature in Quancheng was getting higher and higher. Seeing that he was sweating profusely all the way, he probably couldn't drink the tea.

"Do you have iced drinks, sister? I'm almost dying of heat, why is it so hot today?"

Zheng Jian put his backpack on the coffee table, touched the remote control on the sofa, and turned on the air conditioner.

"Yes, wait, I'll get it!"

Meng Zhen went to the door and called Xiong Xiong in, closed the glass door on the porch, took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator in the kitchen, and went back to the living room: "Here, drink slowly!"

Zheng Jian took it, unscrewed the bottle cap hastily, and gulped it—it was so cool, uh~~
The cold wind from the air conditioner was blowing, he took a few sips of ice-cold drinks, and burped comfortably. Zheng Jian felt that he had returned to the world. Alas, it’s no wonder that Quancheng is known as one of the “Four Great Stoves”. It’s only been a few months Yeah, it's so hot, how can we survive the dog days?

"Do you feel better now? In fact, it's not so hot. It's mainly because you're looking for your way in the middle of the day, and you get angry. Dad and auntie are okay."

"Okay, when I left, they were discussing about going on a trip, and they seemed to want to visit the south!"

"Well, that's good. Xiaojian, tell me, what is your plan? If you want to stay with me for a long time, I welcome it; if you just play for a short time, I have no objection!"

"Sister, that's what I think. If you can work in the fields, so can I. It's too difficult to find a job now. You don't need to have no work experience, don't need a low education, what do you need to find a job in sales? It's best to have social resources. Tsk, if there were social resources, I would still find a fart job, and I would have done it myself. After staying in these companies, I figured it out. Clerical work is comfortable, but the salary is too low, and the sales salary is high, but it is too tiring. .So, I will follow your example and come back to basics. Isn't it popular to 'steal vegetables' now, and I also want to try the feeling of farming. I plan to stay in Zhoujiazhuang, and I will hang out with you in the future!"

"That's fine, let's do it, try it for two months first. But we have to explain some things clearly. Although you are my younger brother, I will tell you the ugly things first..."

"Enen, sister, you say, I will listen to you!"

"Okay, the vegetable garden I opened in cooperation with the son of the village chief's family has a division of labor in the field, and he does all the heavy and tiring work. Don't be idle when you come, just learn to do it with him. There is not much work, just fertilizing, watering and weeding. In addition to the work in the vegetable garden, we also need to take care of the garden. Every five and ten days of the lunar calendar, we will go to Liujiaji to go to the market, that is, to sell vegetables and fruits. If I can't go, you can go for me..."

Meng Zhen told his brother about the general job, and he listened very seriously: "Of course, my sister won't let you do it for nothing, and I will pay you every month!"

"Sister, let's forget about the salary!" I must come here to eat and live in her, so how can I ask for money? !

"Listen to me, when you come to my place, I will cover the food and lodging, but you still have to go out to play, so you still have to pay. Well, let me give you [-] a month first, and when you really persevere, I'm counting for you. Have you eaten your lunch? If you haven't eaten, there is still lunch in the kitchen!"

"Eat, where do I live? See, you don't have any space here?"

"I've packed up the place where I live, let's go, if you're not tired, come with me to have a look 1"

"Don't be tired, you take me there now, I'll pack up my things too, and I'll start going to the fields tomorrow!"

"Row!"

Meng Zhen had already thought about where Zheng Jian lived when he received the call.There are only two bedrooms in the house, one for myself and Liu Jiajia, and it is too late to build a house now. Fortunately, there is a wooden house in the lotus pond. Although it is not big, it is still possible to live alone.And now she is not sure how long her brother can last, let's see, if she can last until autumn, she will add a floor to the house at home, so that when her father or other friends come, she will have a place to live.

After finishing the work in the field, when she was delivering flour to Chen Xue, she stopped by the supermarket to buy some bedding and toiletries for Zheng Jian
Zheng Jian took his backpack and came to the lotus pond with Meng Zhen.

"Wow, sister, this place is amazing, it's really 'Yingri lotus is so red', that wooden house is also yours?"

"Yes, you will live here first in the future. It's hot now, so it's cooler here. When autumn comes, if you can persist, we'll rebuild the house and build a two-story villa. How about it?"

Before Meng Zhen finished speaking, Zheng Jian heard that this was his room, so he ran over quickly, but within 2 minutes, "Sister, help me!"

"Look, you're in a hurry!" You must have met Lei Ao, now that it's hot, Lei Ao's anger is not small, isn't it frightening? !
The next day, Meng Zhen called Meng Xianglei, introduced his younger brother to him, and announced that the vegetable garden would officially start growing vegetables today.She dug up the roots of the vegetables in her yard, put them in a tricycle, and asked Meng Xianglei and Zheng Jian to plant them in the vegetable garden together.After Meng Xianglei's beach was finished, Meng Zhen added some loess from the manor, which was called "fertilization".

Perhaps, this can neutralize the pesticide residues in the beach, and the taste of the vegetables grown should be similar, Meng Zhen comforted himself in this way.

There are not many vegetables in the yard, and it took three trips to transport them all. She moved out the wooden box that she had prepared in advance. The vegetable seedlings inside were already more than a foot high. If they were planted now, the roots would be covered with red soil. It will bloom in ten days.It will be able to pick up the stubble, and people from the restaurant will be able to explain the past.

"Meng Zhen, when did you prepare it? This seedling grows really well, and it will bloom in a few days after planting!"

After Meng Zhen protested several times, Meng Xianglei finally stopped calling her "Meng Zhengu". When there were outsiders, she would call her "Ai" and "Ai", and if there were no outsiders, she would call her by her name directly.

"After signing the contract with the hotel. I wanted to expand the scale at the time, but I went home in time for May Day. After I came back, there were so many things at home, and it took me several days to settle the land issue. Okay, let's go quickly. There's a box, eh, watch out—"

Zheng Jian was carrying the wooden box full of vegetable seedlings, without paying attention to his feet, he kicked over the well in the yard!

"Ouch, my feet!"

Zheng Jian almost threw the wooden box out, put it down quickly, and took off his sneakers, his toes were red.

"Xiao Jian, how are you? Are you okay?" Meng Zhen hurriedly dropped the leather tube in his hand and ran over to see him.

"It's okay, it's just a little swollen. Sister, don't worry, it's okay!"

Zheng Jian rubbed it, put on the shoes, and then got ready to work.

"Is it okay, why don't you rest first, I'll call someone to help, anyway, there's not much left?!"

Seeing him in pain, Meng Xianglei frowned and asked.

"It's okay, I just touched it, let's go, let's do it while it's cool in the morning!" Zheng Jian stomped his feet twice, indicating that he was fine.

The two of them picked up the wooden box and walked out again. Meng Zhen was a little worried. Xiaojian's toes were swollen. He thought that there were a few more fruits on the tree in the village. How about picking one for him at noon and applying it on the wound?

When I returned to the vegetable field, I found that water was leaking out of the overturned well.Just now, he was patronizing to see Zheng Jian, and threw the leather tube on the ground.If it was just a leather tube, it would be fine, but this leather tube was picked up by Meng Zhen from the village, ready to wait for them to leave the flower garden.As a result, all the spring water in the manor flowed out, and some flowed into the well along the small mouth of the well...
