Chapter 5 Friendly Neighbors
Among the people exiled here, when they first came, which one was not skinny, dirty, embarrassing, or even dying?The Zhao family is not.
Zhao Liya observed the words and expressions, and knew that her words had worked, and her tone became more confident: "We have no grievances or enmities, why do you bother to cause trouble, right? Now that we are here, we just want to stay in peace , Waiting for the news, if someone causes trouble, hum, we are not easy to pinch! At that time, we would rather fight to the death than give in, if anyone wants to try, then try!"

Hu Ling waved his fist like a demonstration: "Yes! Don't think we are easy to bully! We are not afraid of you."

The little bastards are so angry and aggrieved, they just want to take advantage of it and get some benefits, as for it?As for it!

"Three please, we won't give it away!"

Where do the punks dare to ask them to give it?He ran away in a desperate manner.

Zhao Liya and Hu Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Liya said: "I don't know if we can frighten them, soldiers come and cover them with water and soil. No matter what, we have to stand firm here and live well."

"Well, let's be more careful in the future."

"Yes! Let's go, let's clean the house quickly."

"it is good!"

Take one step at a time, if you can't avoid it, you can only go head-on.There is always a way.

Of course everyone in the house heard the commotion outside. Seeing him coming in, Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin hurried up: "Brother and sister beat the bad guys away? Brother and sister are so powerful!"

If it wasn't for their parents pulling and covering their ears, they would have already ran out to watch the excitement.

Several adults laughed, "Well, brothers and sisters will protect you, we are not afraid of bad guys."

Zhao Xiang and Deng Shi glanced at the daughter and adopted son in a somewhat complicated manner, with a slightly complicated mood.

This girl didn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, but preferred to practice martial arts. She thought she was just playing around, and if she thought about exercising, she let her go.did not expect
I don't know whether to sigh or rejoice.

The house still needs to be tidied up, Zhao Liya said: "Brother and I go to the nearby people to borrow some cleaning tools, hands alone can't do it."

Zhao Xiang and Deng Shi nodded and agreed, and the two of them went out.

200 meters to the right of their home, there is a house surrounded by a yellow mud wall yard, separated by a vegetable garden surrounded by a fence.

Knocking on the courtyard door, a woman who was nearly forty years old with a round waist and thick shoulders held the door with both hands and looked them up and down vigilantly: "Who are you?"

"Hello, aunt," Zhao Liya said with a smile, "We are new here, and we plan to temporarily settle down in the house on the left side of your house, can aunt lend us brooms, shovels, hatchets, and dustpans for cleaning? "

The woman became a little interested with a "huh", her shrewd eyes were shining, she looked at them a few more times, and gossiped: "Newcomers, hey, there are newcomers in our village! Are you from Where did it come from? What did you do wrong?"

Zhao Liya and Hu Ling: "."

Although Zhao Liya didn't feel that these things could not be said, she was still a little caught off guard by being asked so bluntly.

Seeing this, the woman sneered, disapprovingly: "When we get to this place, what else is there to worry about? It's not ashamed to say it! It's all like this, so there's nothing to lose. I think you're a pretty good girl, so let me borrow you. We will still be neighbors in the future!"

Zhao Liya was overjoyed, and laughed quickly: "Thank you, Auntie!"

The woman sized up the two without any trace, "Wait!"

She said and closed the door, and went back to get her things.

Widow Qu quickly brought the things over and said with a smile, "You can just call me Aunt Qu, I don't lend it to you for nothing, so you two will have to work for our family for a few days."

Zhao Liya and Hu Ling looked at each other, nodded and agreed: "It should be, I'm busy these days, can I wait a few days?"

"Row!"

With the tools at hand, the whole family went to battle and began to clean the inside and outside of the house. Even the two little guys, Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin, helped pull weeds.

Zhao Liya and Hu Ling used shovels and hoes to eradicate the lush and wild weeds in the yard.The yard was not small, and it was sweating under the fiery red sun, and it was exhausting.

The blades of grass had sharp edges, and they scratched the back of the hand carelessly. After cleaning up, there were countless red marks on the back of the hand and wrists. When the sun was shining, the sweat dripped down, and it was hot and stinging.

After clearing the weeds, the yard looks much neater and more pleasing to the eye, which is worth it.

There is a lychee tree growing in this yard, with a lot of green fruits hanging on it. There is also a plum tree, which is full of branches and leaves, but there are no fruits, but a pumpkin vine climbed up, and it also bore two. A pumpkin weighing about five or six catties was hanging in the air. It was so green and cute, which made Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin stare at it for a while.

When Zhao Liya cleaned up the weeds, she kept the pumpkin vine, and it could still grow, and maybe produce a few more melons.

There were also a few bean plants that were climbing and tangling on the weeds. Zhao Liya also carefully untied their vines and kept them, and later gave them a stick to climb. The bean plants can be cooked as a vegetable.

The four adults worked hard together to lift the fallen fence, drove down the piles again, and twisted the long dogtail grass into ropes to fix it.

This fence is just like that. Many of the branches used as fences are full of worms, or are withered and brittle, and they will break if they are broken.It is an expedient measure right now, and it must be replaced.

Zhao Liya wiped the sweat that flowed down her cheeks, and exhaled, there is still a lot to do.

When I was working, the time passed very quickly, and the inside and outside just looked a little bit better. When I looked up, the western sky was already full of gorgeous sunset clouds, and the golden crow was gradually sinking.

Zhao Lixiang ran over and gently tugged on Zhao Liya's skirt, the little girl said softly, "Sister, I'm thirsty, I want to drink water."

"Drink water." Zhao Liya licked her parched lips. She didn't feel it before, but when the little girl said it, she immediately felt smoke coming from her throat.

Looking at the same parched lips of the little girl, I couldn't help feeling pity, the little girl must have been too thirsty to tell her.She gently stroked her slender and immature shoulders: "Wait obediently, sister will find water for you."

Zhao Lixiang smiled sweetly, and nodded vigorously with his eyebrows curved: "Yeah!"

Not bothering the two masters, Zhao Liya had no choice but to go to Widow Qu's house again.

She felt that Widow Qu was very straightforward, and she was the nearest neighbor, so it was necessary to establish a good relationship. She wanted to ask her about the situation in the village later.
