Xu Yan picked up the empty frame and walked home. When she got to the intersection, she didn't see Xu Tao. It was a little strange. Xiaotao had been waiting for her at the intersection for more than a week, and she didn't see him suddenly. Xu Yan really felt a little strange, thinking After a while, he quickened his pace and rushed home. He just walked to the gate and looked into the yard along the path. Xu Yan was slightly relieved by the scene he saw.

Pushing open the half-closed door, Xu Yan walked directly into the courtyard, "Xiaotao, sister is back." Xu Yan yelled as she walked.

"Ouch." "What's the matter with you?" Xu Yan's cry startled Zhang Liang, who nailed the plank, and the falling hammer hit his finger directly. Zhang Liang's ouch and the falling hammer made Xu Tao Quickly squatted down and grabbed Zhang Liang's finger, it was okay, it was just red, "Why did the hammer fall off? Are you tired?" Xu Tao pulled Zhang Liang to sit by the side of the well, somewhat embarrassed, although He repeatedly asked himself to be capable, but Zhang Liang glanced left and right and said that he was working too slowly, so he never failed.

"It's not that I'm tired, I just scared your sister." Zhang Liang grinned and rubbed his fingers while saying.

"I'm a tigress, and it scared me." Xu Yan walked into the yard just in time to hear Zhang Liang's words, and slapped Zhang Liang on the head with a smile.

Zhang Liang stuck out his tongue and muttered softly, "You are stronger than a tigress."

"Er Gouzi, what are you mumbling about?" Xu Yan asked Zhang Liang, who was mumbling beside him, while washing his hands, Zhang Liang stood up abruptly, and shook his head with a smile, "Didn't say anything, big sister, have you finished selling the vegetables? "

Xu Yan nodded with a smile, "The business is good today, and it was sold out before we went to the market. Everyone in the village sold out the eggs except for Xiaopang's family. Xiaopang's mother brought back the rest of the eggs. Sell."

Xu Tao looked at Xu Yan who was chatting with Zhang Liang and smiled. He squatted on the ground and looked at the nailed wooden boxes. The four should be about the same. The last one was nailing a few nails. Xu Tao picked up the hammer that fell to the side Dangdang started hammering, and it was only a matter of a few nails. Xu Yan cleaned up quickly, and Xu Tao finished nailing here. Xu Yan went to Xu Tao and squatted down, froze a few times, "What are you two doing?" Where is the demon?"

Zhang Liang rubbed over, "Eldest sister, it's not that we two are acting like monsters, but the second idiot, he, ouch, elder sister, why did you hit me?" Zhang Liang rubbed his forehead and looked to his side with some doubts Xu Yan stared.

"You are the stupid Zhang Er. My Xiaotao is so stupid. He is just looking at me and I won't cut you." Xu Yan scolded Zhang Liang with wide eyes. Zhang Liang smiled and rubbed his forehead, "Elder sister You're really jerky, look, you still call me Ergouzi, I didn't say anything, okay, okay, don't hit me, I won't bark anymore, I'm buddies with Ersha now, not Xiaotao, Don't worry about such useless things, you girls just worry about it." The last sentence was muttered in her mouth, although Xu Yan heard it, but saw Zhang Liang seriously saying that he and Xiaotao were buddies, and looked at it again. Seeing Xiaotao's smiling eyes, Xu Yan pretended not to hear and continued to look at the wooden box on the ground.

After watching for a while, Xu Yan frowned slightly, "Tao, what are you doing nailing the box? Feed the chicken?"

Xu Tao smiled and shook his head, "Sister, I want to grow vegetables." "Puff." Xu Tao's words made Zhang Liang burst into laughter, and sat on the ground while patting the ground with a hahaha smile and said, "Xu Er is stupid!" Ah, Xu Er is stupid, you are really stupid, look at someone who grows vegetables in a wooden box, and it’s not like your family has no land, what kind of demon are you.”

Xu Yan couldn't help but want to laugh, but after all, it was her own brother who was in pain all the time, Xu Yan suppressed the smile that was on her lips, stretched out her hand and rubbed the top of Xu Tao's head, "Xiao Tao, don't think about it, the box You can’t grow vegetables here, you can rest assured that your school tuition and books fees have really been saved, and you won’t be in arrears with the school, if you want to go out with Er Gouzi, if you don’t, you can stay at home with sister.”

Xu Tao didn't speak but just smiled, glanced at Zhang Liang, thought about it carefully, and looked at Xu Yan, "Sister, why do you think vegetables can ripen in summer? But nothing can grow in winter?"

"You don't need to ask. Of course it's hot, and it's freezing cold in winter. Let alone vegetables, people are freezing, let alone vegetables." Zhang Liang said quickly while laughing.

And Xu Yan knew Xu Tao well, knew that although Xu Tao was a little stupid, but he was a kid who liked to think, put away the smile in his eyes, and looked at Xu Tao with a slight frown, "Xiao Tao, what do you think?"

Xu Tao lowered his eyes and flicked the wooden box on the ground, "Sister, in winter, the kang is burned in the house. Put the box filled with soil on the kang. When the temperature rises, the vegetables will naturally grow."

Xu Yan was stunned by Xu Tao's calm words, and Zhang Liang was not an idiot. He put away his smile and lowered his head to think carefully. The more Xu Yan thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, and he slapped Zhang Liang. Call them and tell them that Eldest Sister has something to ask them."

Zhang Liang yelled, jumped up and ran out of the gate, Xu Yan looked at Xu Tao who was bowing his head again, with a trace of relief in his eyes, "Xiao Tao, did you mean to say that in front of Zhang Liang on purpose?"

Xu Tao nodded slightly, then raised his head to look at Xu Yan, "Sister, we are the only ones in our family. If we really make it, people all over the village will come to learn it. It is not a technical job in itself. The old dealer can understand the style at a glance. , and Zhang Liang’s family is different, Fat Aunt and some relatives in our family don’t talk about it, Fat Aunt is still powerful, you see who dares to provoke others in our village, with Zhang Liang’s family standing in front of us, we can save a little trouble.”

Xu Yan lowered her head and thought for a while, her eyes flashed a little complicated. Xiao Tao has grown up and knows that she is thinking about her family. Xu Yan raised her head and looked at Xu Tao, "Why are you looking for Zhang Liang's family?"

"Auntie Fat is the only one who didn't make irresponsible remarks in the back. Sister, I know, I know that my parents don't want us anymore, and we will depend on us no matter what. Since we are looking for someone, why don't we find someone who is always good to us?" A better person? I also know that Aunt Fat and Uncle Daming help to cultivate our land in the spring. They don’t want anything, they just see that our family can’t do it. There are a lot of people in our village , but look, who gave us a hand."

Xu Tao's calm narration made Xu Yan almost cry. It turned out that Xiao Tao already knew about it. No wonder he felt that Xiao Tao suddenly became sensible. Just didn't expect it to be so fast.

Xu Yan's eyes were red, and she lowered her head to think, why everyone dares to bully her, why some people always make irresponsible remarks, isn't it because her parents don't want them, now everyone knows that her parents found them for herself outside My partner, in Uncle Dasheng's words, is rich, but Xu Yan can't understand, isn't it good for a family to make money together?Why did they leave their siblings? It's not that Xu Yan never thought of taking Xu Tao to find her parents, but the 50 yuan and a letter brought back by Uncle Dasheng made it very clear that she and Xiaotao should be their parents. Both died.

When she saw that sentence, Xu Yan's heart turned cold. There was no address, only 50 yuan and a sentence. Xu Yan didn't remember what mood she was in at that time, but she remembered that when she recovered, the letter and money were stuffed into the stove by herself. After Xu Yan hid in the vegetable field and cried a lot, she really loved Xu Tao as if she had no parents. From now on, Xiao Tao is her only relative. Yan bottom of heart.

"Sister, don't cry, don't do it if you don't want us, they have already made up their minds not to want us, even if we cry to death, they won't see it, sister, don't worry, I can do anything, I will definitely save you a big money Your family background allows you to get married in the same style as girls from other families."

Xu Yan looked at Xu Tao with tears in her eyes, "Xiao Tao, when did you know?"

Xu Tao smiled and didn't speak. Xu Yan knew at a glance that it must have been a while, and the tears she had endured for a long time still fell, and she held Xu Tao's hand, "Tao, don't worry, sister won't let you go hungry, My sister is able to work, and our family has a lot of land. After the autumn harvest, my sister will go to the tobacco factory to smoke tobacco. They will give me three yuan a day. If I work more than ten hours a day, I will pay five yuan. My sister is healthy and capable. , our family’s life will not be worse than other people’s, even the school’s tuition fees will not be a penny worse.”

Xu Tao gently wiped the hot tears on Xu Yan's cheeks, smiled and shook his head, "Sister, I don't need you to go to the cigarette factory, the work is too tiring and will wear you down, sister, do you believe me?"

Xu Yan raised her arm and wiped her tears, then nodded vigorously, "Sister Xin."

The smile on Xu Tao's face became softer, "Sister, you believe me, I can grow vegetables in winter, and then I will buy meat for you every day."

Xu Yan smiled and nodded, "Hey, sister is waiting."

"Swallow, why did you ask Er Gouzi to find aunt?" Fat aunt's loud voice came from outside the gate.

Xu Yan quickly wiped the tears off her face, pulled Xu Tao to stand up and walked out of the gate. Just halfway there, Xu Tao saw the chubby and smiling fat aunt and the tall and strong Uncle Daming following Zhang Liang into the courtyard.

Yu Guihua walked into the yard and saw Xu Yan who was coming towards her. She saw Xu Yan's reddish eyes at a glance, the smile on her face disappeared, and she stared slightly at Xu Yan, "What's wrong, Yanzi, is it Widow Zhao again?" Bullied you?"

Xu Yan shook her head, "No." "Aunt Fat." Xu Tao stood beside Xu Yan and greeted Yu Guihua, "Hey, Xiao Tao, what's wrong with your sister? Is it really not Widow Zhao who bullied your sister? It's you Just say, watch me tear up that big broken shoe.”

Yu Guihua stared at Xu Tao and said fiercely, Xu Tao smiled and shook his head, "Auntie, really not, my sister has something to do with you and my uncle."

Xu Yan let go of Xu Tao who was holding her, walked to Yu Guihua, and held Yu Guihua's arm, "Fat aunt, let's go into the room and tell me, tell me if it works." Yu Guihua nodded in doubt, followed Xu Yan walked into the house.
