Chapter 961: Such a Poor Child (23)

When Zhang Tan came out of the room, he saw Xi'er sitting alone in the yard, with her back to the door and her head hunched. Her back looked depressed. She was obviously not expecting and extremely embarrassed about her bedwetting.

"What's wrong with Xi'er? Why does she look unhappy?" Zhang Tan asked.

Xi'er looked at him shyly, feeling embarrassed to speak. She lowered her head and watched the ants on the ground eating bread crumbs.

"It's okay. What are you afraid of if you wet the bed? Children can wet the bed. Xiaobai wet the bed before." Zhang Tan comforted.

"Happy baby~~~~"

Outside the yard, a child called her name. He was a child who went to herd cows in the early morning. He was a small person, but he was holding a big cow.

"Little friend, what are you going to do??" Xi'er asked curiously. She didn't dare to lead such a big cow, but she liked it very much.

"Xiwa, I'm going to herd the cows, will you go?"

Zhang Tan looked at it, "Good guy, it's a little boy."

After watching the little boy go, three more came after a while, all leading a cow. When they passed by the yard, they called Xi'er to go herd the cow.

Xiaobai simply stood on the big stone pier and dismissed them condescendingly, saying that they would not herd cattle.

Dunzi was running over the field ridge, and his mother shouted behind him to run slowly and not fall into the field.

Dunzi brought a bamboo cage, and there were babbling sounds from inside. Xiaobai was studying around the cage.

"Huh? What is it?" Xi'er leaned over curiously, and the embarrassment of bedwetting was temporarily forgotten by her.

"It's a lazy guy." Dunzi said.

"What is a sluggard?" Xi'er asked, finally seeing clearly what was in the cage. They were two cicadas. "These are cicadas, hiahia. I've caught them too. They like to bark. Can you give them to me?" Take a look?"

Dunzi handed her the bamboo cage. She was surprised and marveled at it.

Teacher Jiang came out holding the bed sheets and was about to wash them. Xi'er glanced at it and quickly turned away, pretending not to see it, hahaha~

Breakfast was porridge, noodles, and boiled eggs. After breakfast, Zhang Tan went to the town to hire a mason. One of the things he wanted to do when he came back this time was to decorate the house. The red bricks were exposed and it looked like So desolate.

"Wait a minute and ask Bai Li to go with you. He is familiar with the town." Teacher Jiang said.

Not long after, a dark-skinned, short but strong young man came on foot and greeted Zhang Tan a little shyly. He would follow Zhang Tan to the town today to invite people.

"Godfather, godfather, will you take me to play?" Xi'er followed behind and wanted to go, but Zhang Tan asked her to play at home with Xiaobai and Dunzi.

"Oh, then come back early, and be careful when driving." Xi'er warned naggingly, while Xiaobai stared at him.

Zhang Tan drove away, and the children in the village came in groups to call Xiaobai to play. The three little ones followed the large group, and Xi'er also mixed in, acting as a little tail.

Xi'er proudly said that she knew all these children. This one is called Xiaobai, that one is called Xiaobai, that one is also called Xiaobai, and the one over there is also called Xiaobai. Ha, she has not forgotten any of them!

The town to which Baijia Village belongs is very small, with only two streets. It takes only a short drive to cover it. Under Bai Li's guidance, Zhang Tan successfully found a mason. After thinking about it, he ran to the county seat and ordered a batch of furniture. When he returned home, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

The house was very lively, and many people came to help with the move.

If the home needs to be renovated, things must be moved out and vacated. These are all people from Baijia Village. Teacher Jiang asked the village party secretary to find them. Zhang Tan just bought a box of cigarettes in the town and quickly distributed them to everyone.

"Hey, there are high-end cigarettes! I've never smoked them before."

Someone took it in their hand and could tell at a glance that it was a high-end cigarette. The packaging and feel were completely different from what they usually smoked.

Zhang Tan stuffed each person with a red envelope, and after finishing his work in the afternoon, he stuffed each person with a red envelope.

Everyone was embarrassed to accept it. Whenever something happened in the village, everyone would help each other. At most, they would give each other a pack of cigarettes or a meal. There had never been a person like Zhang Tan who gave out such good cigarettes and stuffed them with red envelopes afterward.

"Take it, I need to trouble you all in the future. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to ask you for it next time. It's just a small favor but not a lot of money." Zhang Tan said.

Everyone looked at the village party secretary, who said: "Keep it, keep it. Anyone who is not busy these days can come and help."

Everyone agreed, received the red envelope and went home.

The rooms had all been vacated. At night, Teacher Jiang took Xiaobai and Xi'er to Dunzi's house to sleep. Only Zhang Tan stayed and made a bed on the floor in the living room.

"What's wrong with Xi'er? Why are you crying?"

There were so many things going on just now that Zhang Tan didn't pay attention to the children. Now that everyone had gone back, he noticed that Xi'er's eyes were red and she seemed to have cried, and Xiaobai was comforting her.

"Xiwawa was bitten by a leech~~It's so miserable~~" Xiaobai said.

Zhang Tan: "...Where is it? Let me take a look."

Xi'er held out her little jiojio, pointed to the right foot and said, "Bite here, it's so big~"

I saw a small red dot on Xi'er's ankle, which was where the leech bit her.

Teacher Jiang said: "I have washed it many times with soapy water and it has been disinfected. It will be fine."

Hearing this, Xi'er said aggrievedly that she was so scared.

She described the scene of being bitten by a leech in a long and verbose way, which was so scary that it made her cry on the spot.

"Did you run into the fields?" Zhang Tan asked.

Xier nodded. She had been running around with the kids in the village today and had a lot of fun. But when she was about to go home, she was bitten by a leech.

"Don't be afraid. The bite will heal soon." Zhang Tan comforted her.

Xiaobai also encouraged Xier to be brave.

There was a buffalo grazing on the ridge not far away. Xier said, "I want to be brave. I am a brave cow."

"Who can help me? Let's take the vegetables to Dunzi's house." Zhang Tan said.

The three children raised their hands and took the vegetables they bought with Zhang Tan. They cooked at Dunzi's house these days. They were going to decorate this place.

They bought a lot of chickens, ducks, fish and meat. Dunzi's mother said, "Although the weather in the mountains is not hot, they are also put in the refrigerator."

The sky gradually darkened, and the moon rose from the mountains. Zhang Tan felt the mountain breeze and felt extremely cool.

Xiaobai ran over with the little yellow duck and said he was going to take a bath. In fact, he just wanted to play in the water.

Xier hurried over when she heard it, but was told that she couldn't touch water because her feet were bitten by leeches, at least until tomorrow.

"Huh?" Xier was confused. She specially called sister Xiaobai today to take her to the deep water area, but the result was...

The result was that Xier sat by the river, hugged her legs and held her chin to watch Xiaobai and Dunzi playing in the water.

"Xier, come here~" Zhang Tan called her.

Xier was happy, thinking that her godfather wanted her to play in the water.

"Let me wipe you." Zhang Tan said, wiping Xier with a towel.

Xier: "..."
