Lu Xiaoshu was afraid that he might miss something with his mother in the future, so he said quickly: "Mother, let me take them up the mountain! I know where the trees can be cut down, and it won't hurt others."
Said and looked at Miao Cuilan eagerly.
Miao Cuilan nodded after thinking about it and said, "Well, then you go! Be careful, don't be naughty!"
"Got it, mother!" Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly agreed, and smiled politely and reservedly at Zhou Si, "Xiao Zhou, let's go!"
Xiao Zhou…
The corner of Zhou Si's mouth twitched subconsciously, uh, why did she sound so awkward when she called herself that!
"Okay! Aunt Lu, I'll go first!" Zhou Si said without saying anything, nodding to Miao Cuilan and smiling politely.
"Go! Be careful!" Miao Cuilan smiled.
"How could it be you? You actually came to live in our village!" Lu Xiaoshu said with a smile as soon as he went out.
Zhou Si smiled slightly and said, "But why do I listen, you don't seem to welcome it?"
Lu Xiaoshu was startled, and thought to himself that you have heard all this! Nonsense, of course not welcome! You are my benefactor, living next door to my benefactor, this feeling - really bad!
Repaying is one thing, she never thought of denying it, but—
She just had a thought in her mind when she heard Zhou Si beside her saying, "I'm your savior! I didn't expect to be so unpopular!"
Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted!
Lu Xiaoshu kicked a pebble under his feet and almost tripped, but he blushed and coughed a few times when he was choked, and he stuttered and said: "I, where do I have it! I, I That is, I just feel, I don’t know how to repay you, so, so I feel sorry for you!”
Zhou Si couldn't help laughing, looked at her and said amusedly: "Well, you can rest assured! We will live here for a long time, maybe a year and a half, three to five years, so ah, you will live here in the future There are plenty of opportunities to repay, don’t worry, don’t worry!”
Lu Xiaoshu looked at his smiling face, with a sly gleam in his long and narrow eyes, and suddenly looked at him and said: "You still look better like yesterday..."
Zhou Si was taken aback, and couldn't help laughing out loud, his eyes narrowed into crescents.
Lu Xiaoshu made him laugh a little annoyed, and stared at him with a stern face and remained silent.
Zhou Si laughed enough, seeing her little resentment, almost laughed again, coughed and managed to hold back, and said solemnly: "Actually, I am still me, the same as me yesterday. Don't worry, I, Zhou, will not blackmail you with this threat! I just think that we are neighbors, we will come and go frequently in the future, and neighbors will help each other, what do you think?"
Lu Xiaoshu tilted his head and thought for a while, feeling that what he said sounded right or wrong, he hesitated for a moment. Nodding his head, "Well..."
"Then I need your help with something now, can you help me?" Lu Xiaoshu changed the subject, and said with big watery eyes.
Zhou Si said without hesitation: "As long as I can do it, of course it will help!"
Lu Xiaoshu smiled sarcastically, and said, "That's right, it happened yesterday, can you—"
"No problem!" Zhou Si smiled without waiting for her to finish, "You must be afraid of being scolded by your parents, right? I won't tell them! It's just that the place is dangerous, so don't go there in the future! By the way, that Who is the little fat man..."
Thinking of where she appeared alone with that little fat man, Zhou Si couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, so he said with a straight face: "You are a little girl, although you have a little kung fu, how can you be so casual?" Go out to play with people? How bad it is to let people see! Don't go out in disorder in the future!"
You're not my parents, you're too lenient. It's just that there is something for him at this time, Lu Xiaoshu said "Oh" in a good manner, and said with a smile: "The little fat man is from your family. place!"
usually? us? Zhou Si glanced at Lu Xiaoshu, who was smiling and not paying attention, and felt a little more blocked in his heart.
For some reason, he just didn't like this pretty little girl staying with that little fat man, and he thought it was funny to think about it.
Lu Xiaoshu secretly observed Zhou Si's face, seeing that he was sometimes a little bit annoyed, sometimes sighed, and sometimes amused, how could he know where his heart was going? And I don't even care about it. Busy and laughed again: "Yesterday's incident is over, so of course I can't tell my parents, er, and, and that, my parents—actually didn't know that I can do a little boxing, don't you?" Can you not say anything?"
Zhou Siming was stunned by her words, and asked in surprise, "They don't know?"
Lu Xiaoshu nodded and said: "Yes, I pestered my brother to learn something casually. If my parents found out, they would definitely teach me that I don't look like a girl! Anyway, I am a girl. Well, child, it doesn't matter if it looks like..."
Lu Xiaoshu muttered while talking.
Zhou Si laughed after hearing this, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't tell them! In fact, it's good for a girl to be able to protect herself with a little fist. Your parents must be afraid of you—cough, where are we going? Do you think it would be better for me to cut down that tree?"
Zhou Si originally wanted to say, "Your parents must be afraid that you won't be able to get married!" Halfway through the conversation, he felt that saying such words to the same little girl was suspected of being frivolous and flirty, so he changed the subject all of a sudden.
The two of them walked all the way and talked all the way, and before they knew it, they had already climbed the mountain and entered the forest. Lu Xiaoshu looked around, then pointed to the west and said, "Let's go over there! I remember that there are several suitable cedar trees over there, which are just right for beams and pillars, and it's not a serious water source over there. , my parents won’t have any objections! If anyone dares to cut down the trees in the water source, my mother will not obey! By the way, can you do it alone? Why don’t you go and call your two uncles?”
Zhou Si smiled and said, "Uncle went to the town to buy some living utensils, and Uncle Second is cutting thatch for the roof. I can do it myself!"
Lu Xiaoshu nodded "Oh" and led the way. He couldn't help but imagine Zhou Si, a handsome and tall boy, chopping down trees with a heavy ax in his hand, and giggled.
Zhou Si couldn't understand the laughter, and couldn't help but look around, curiously asking: "What did you see? Is it funny?"
"No, I just want to laugh!" Lu Xiaoshu laughed louder.
When the two came to the west side, there were indeed several straight cedar trees that were as thick as bowls. It's a tree!" As he said that, he found a comfortable place not too far away and sat down straight away, watching the excitement there.
Zhou Si naturally wouldn't ask her to come forward to help, so he chatted and laughed with her while cutting down the tree. Lu Xiaoshu could talk to everyone he saw, so he became familiar with him soon, and the two talked and laughed. , rather like friends who have been with each other for many years.
I don't know whether it was because the ax was sharp enough or Zhou Si's skill was powerful, but in a short while, the two trees fell down one after the other with a "crash".
Lu Xiaoshu didn't pay attention, he was startled by the sound of the big tree collapsing and jumped up with a "Yah", and couldn't help running over to praise Zhou Si greatly.
The branches and vines that fell on the ground were criss-crossing, and Lu Xiaoshu almost fell down when he was not paying attention. Zhou Si was startled, and quickly threw down the ax to support her and smiled: "Be careful! It's like a needle point, if you fall it, be careful to be stuck into a hedgehog, and your mother will definitely say you again if it tore your clothes!"
Lu Xiaoshu was startled, clapped his hands and laughed, "You're so smart! I'm not afraid of becoming a hedgehog, but I'm afraid of being nagged by my mother! My mother is much better than a hedgehog!"
Speaking of which, both of them laughed.
"Ace, why are you here?"
A thick man's voice came, and the two turned their heads to see a young man dressed in old-fashioned indigo short brown, with thick eyebrows, slightly thick lips, and bronze skin.
"Second Uncle!" Zhou Si smiled and let go of Lu Xiaoshu's arm, and said to the young man with a smile: "I saw that the beams and pillars of our thatched hut seemed to be unbearable, so I asked Mrs. Lu to come and cut down two trees and go back to repair them. "Second Uncle, why are you here?"
Lu Xiaoshu felt that since Zhou Si was good at it, this second uncle might be even better, and these people might be some kind of masters! There's no harm in fawning on him, so he gave him a sweet smile and called out, "Uncle Tuesday!"
But this Uncle Zhou just glanced at her indifferently, hummed in response, and said to Zhou Si: "Since the tree is cut down, you can go back first! Leave the rest to me! This little Girl, it's cold outside in winter, you should go back to your house too!"
Lu Xiaoshu seldom tries hard to curry favor with others, but he didn't expect to succeed in his mission, so he secretly thought that he was bored! Look at Uncle Zhou's eyes and nose this week, his face is elongated, as if someone owes him a hundred and eighty dollars.
She felt bored all of a sudden, so she also dropped her face and let out a disgruntled "Oh", and simply turned around and left without even bothering to look at Zhou Si.
Seeing that she was angry, Zhou Sixian quickly shouted: "Xiaoshu! Xiaoshu! Wait for me, I'll give you a ride!"
Before Lu Xiaoshu could speak, Uncle Zhou Zhou said very angrily: "A Si, I still have something to tell you!"
Lu Xiaoshu curled his lips, simply pretended not to hear, and left without looking back.
"Xiaoshu!"
"A Si!" Uncle Zhou suddenly became strict and pulled Zhou Si back.
Zhou Si had no choice but to stop, and said respectfully: "Second Uncle, actually—"
"Actually, I really want to ask you, where did this girl come from? We just moved here yesterday afternoon, how do you know her so well?" Uncle Zhou said very unhappy. Laughter was heard from afar, which made him really unhappy.
Zhou Si hurriedly said: "Her name is Lu Xiaoshu, she is Aunt Lu's youngest daughter! Second Uncle, we are also neighbors in the future, why make our relationship so stiff?"
Uncle Zhou Zhou said sternly: "But you can't get too close, do you still need me to tell you this truth? Besides, she is a little girl, and you can't provoke this kind of suspicion of plums in the melon field. If there is any trouble, how will you end up!"
