Chapter 14
Now the season is almost April, and the grass in the yard was grown last year and withered early, the cut grass Xiao Xiao used all the waste and carried it into the kitchen to prepare firewood, and the newly grown grass on the ground was also discarded Xiao shoveled it with a shovel. When tidying up the yard, Xiao Xiao accidentally found a grape vine. To be precise, it was a bud of a wild grape, which came out from a withered grape branch. Yes, Xiao Xiao carefully moved it to a different position, cut a few branches around the small grape bud and stuck it on the ground, making it a small fence.

After finishing the yard, I looked back and saw that the fire in the kitchen fire hole was about to go out, but the water boiled, so I added some firewood to the fire hole, scooped out a few scoops of hot water from the pot, put them into a wooden bucket, and poured them into the pot. After adding some water, he took half a bucket of hot water to the yard. Because the water in the wooden bucket was boiling, Xiao Xiao added some cold water to keep it warm, and moved all the furniture out of the house with great effort. Grab a rag and start scrubbing.

When there was still half of the sun left in the west, Xiao Xiao finally finished everything that should be done. The three houses were cleaned three times inside and outside, and the yard was cleared of weeds, leaving behind a few fruit trees and a jujube tree. , an apricot tree, and a plum tree, uh, and a small grape bud.

"There is still a lack of a toilet." Standing on the steps, Xiao Xiao looked down at her own territory and observed for a while, rubbing her chin and expressing her only regret.

"Should I find someone, or dig it myself?" I want to find someone to dig the toilet, but I am not familiar with the people here, Xiao Xiao doesn't know how to ask someone, but dig it myself, the digging is fine, otherwise Xiao Xiao doesn't know what to do Done.

"Hey, Xiao Xiao..." Xiao Xiao, who was deep in thought, heard someone calling her, first raised her head and looked around blankly, and after a while, she saw the carpenter Wang Xiaohu holding a bag of things outside the courtyard gate.

Wang Xiaohu's parents, Wang Carpenter and his wife, died young, leaving him and his elder brother Wang Dahu to depend on each other. A few years ago, his elder brother found a son and daughter of a carpenter in the town to be his wife and moved into the town. Wang Xiaohu was the only one left in the family. He is black and strong, and people who don’t know him think that he is a blacksmith. His carpentry skills are completely inherited from his father, but he doesn’t like making wooden cabinets. He only likes to use wood to carve. Carving can’t make much money. I haven't found a wife yet!
"Brother Xiaohu, why are you here?" Xiao Xiao retracted her memories of Wang Xiaohu, quickly stepped down the steps, opened the courtyard door to let Wang Xiaohu in, there was no cup or water, so she had to bring out a stool for Wang Xiaohu to sit on.

"No, you're welcome. I've come to hear that you bought this house. It's great. It's the best house in our village. I'm here to give you a few gadgets for your baby." As for Xiao Xiao To be polite, Wang Xiaohu waved his hands in embarrassment, smiled silly twice, and handed the bag of things in his arms to Xiao Xiao.

"Give it to me?" Eyes wide open, she asked again in disbelief, Xiao Xiao pointed to her own nose to make sure again.

"Yes, yes!" Wang Xiaohu stared at Xiao Xiao's pale face with a dark face, and said dryly in embarrassment.

"These are?" Under Wang Xiaohu's expectant eyes, Xiao Xiao swallowed her saliva, opened the package, and the contents inside were also displayed in front of her eyes. There were three small wooden bowls, one larger, two smaller, and a small bowl. Needless to say, steamed stuffed buns are very suitable for use. This big one is Xiao Xiao’s own. The small wooden bowl looks very chic, and there are cute patterns of dogs and cats engraved on the surface. Xiao Xiao laughed. Picking it up and watching it is so cute, it's so cute.

"Haha, brother Xiaohu is such a cute little bowl, thank you, I like it very much, I think the babies will like it too." The excited voice couldn't hide it, if it wasn't for Wang Xiaohu watching here, Xiao Xiao would definitely Hold the bowl and kiss it a few mouthfuls.

"Hey, as long as you like it, come here, here are a few more gadgets." Scratching his head, Wang Xiaohu smirked, and took out the other things in the package. Xiao Xiao took a closer look, two rattles, two wooden I made a small carriage and two wooden rabbits, both pairs were given to the twin little buns.

"Ah, Brother Xiaohu, your gift is too expensive, so you can make a price, and I'll buy it!" He has no relatives or relationship with Wang Xiaohu, and only met a few times to say a few words, but who would have thought that he would give so many gifts, Xiao Xiao's heart was full of anxiety, and she was a little afraid to answer it.

"Ah... I, I'm not..." Wang Xiaohu was dumbfounded by Xiao Xiao's sudden words. He just wanted to send something to his new neighbor, and he didn't want to ask for money. Could it be that he did something wrong? A little overwhelmed!
"Xiaohu gave it to you, Xiaoxiao, you want it, they are all from the same village, and you need money for a few things!" Uncle Qi's voice rang between the two at the right time: "Xiaoxiao take it, bring it back Let the children play at home, Xiaohu is just showing kindness."

Xiao Xiao was stunned, and suddenly realized that in the next century, it is rare to simply give gifts. Everyone wears a mask when going to the society and the crowd. Who knows what is under the mask, and the people in this village, such as Wang Xiaohu, are just It's really insulting to be friendly to newcomers and measure this innocence with money.

"I'm sorry Brother Xiaohu, I want something. I will come to my house often to see my baby in the future. They must like these toys very much." When she regained her senses, Xiao Xiao hugged a bunch of toys and smiled, breaking the embarrassment.

"Hey, it's okay. I like your baby very much. I will definitely come to see you often. Well, you just moved to a new house. If you need anything, just call me." I don't know if I forgot about the country of Java, I patted my firm chest and said boldly.

His eyes lit up, and since the life of the people here is such a standard, Xiao Xiao decided to follow the good example: "Really? Then I really have to trouble Brother Xiaohu, well, I want to dig a hut, but I definitely can't do it alone. "The embarrassed Xiao Xiao said dryly.

"What's the problem? I'll dig out your hut tomorrow, and I'll do it by myself." Wang Xiaohu didn't show any embarrassment, nodded fiercely, and promised.

Uncle Qi watched the interaction between the two of them and nodded while supporting his beard. Xiao Xiao still doesn't have much sense of belonging here, just get in touch with more people.
