But after the topic ended, the atmosphere began to become subtle and even a little awkward.

Tan Zijin stood there stupidly.

Xu Anruo didn't know what to say.

Then he realized that he and Tan Zijin had only met and known each other twice!

The first time was when he was filling out the application form at No. 1 Middle School.

And the second time was today.

He rushed into someone's house and treated them kindly without reason.

And then he said a lot of nonsense.

This is definitely not okay.

He was afraid that Tan Zijin couldn't stand it.

Xu Anruo subconsciously glanced at Tan Zijin, thought about it, and said:

"It's hot outside, why don't you go inside? Take a rest first, I'll play with Da Huang here, I just like cats and dogs and so on."

"Yeah."

Tan Zijin responded in a low voice.

But she seemed to want to say something, and she paused, but in the end she didn't say it, and turned around and walked towards the house.

Faintly, Xu Anruo heard some relieved breathing sounds.

Sure enough, it still brought her pressure.

It was already very difficult for her with a silly and withdrawn avoidant personality to stand by Xu Anruo's side for so long in this hot summer.

After Tan Zijin entered the house, Xu Anruo actually felt a little relieved.

He turned around and was about to stroke the rhubarb.

Then he heard Tan Zipei's voice from behind:

"Brother, did you lie to your sister again?"

Xu Anruo turned her head.

Just saw Tan Zipei with her hands on her waist looking at her angrily.

"Nonsense, it's not true!"

Xu Anruo certainly didn't admit it.

Besides, he didn't lie.

But the little girl didn't believe it at all.

She wrinkled her nose and snorted:

"I don't believe it. My sister's eyes are red again. It must be that you, brother, said something to move her!"

Hmm? ?

No, is this really seven years old?

This question popped up in Xu Anruo's mind again.

But this topic could not be continued.

So Xu Anruo stroked Da Huang's dog head hard, smiled at the little girl and said:

"Come, come here, let your brother touch your head, and your brother will tell you."

"Huh!!"

Tan Zipei turned around and ran away in disgust.

The weather was still too hot.

If you want to work, you have to wait at least until three or four o'clock.

Xu Anruo, who was just about to stroke Da Huang's skin, finally felt his embarrassing situation.

But fortunately, grandma came out and asked Xu Anruo if she wanted to take a nap at noon.

Xu Anruo nodded and said yes.

Grandma meant that Xu Anruo should sleep directly in the inner room, because there was a bed inside, and she and Zipei usually lived there.

But this was definitely inappropriate.

Xu Anruo did not agree, so he asked Tan Zijin to find a cool mat and spread it on the floor of the main room. He fell asleep with his head resting on his arm.

He was woken up by noise.

Xu Anruo opened his eyes and found that the light in the main room was very dim and the door was closed.

And the sound of the thresher came from outside.

He looked at the time and it was already past three in the afternoon.

When he got up, he found that he was covered with a sheet, and the smell was exactly the same as the towel before.

Xu Anruo folded the sheet and put away the cool mat, rubbed his eyes, and then opened the door, and saw that Tan Zijin's family had already started threshing rice.

And it seemed that it had been a while.

They still had a clear division of labor.

Tan Zijin stood behind the thresher and was responsible for threshing.

Grandma was on the side, dividing the rice stalks into small bunches and handing them to Tan Zijin.

Tan Zijin, wearing a hat and a pair of small sunglasses that he got from nowhere, stood in front of the rice thresher, using the bamboo thresher in his hand to pick up the broken rice straw leaves on the rice.

Xu Anruo quickly grabbed the straw hat and put it on, carrying the sapling basket and going out to pick up the rice stalks.

At this time, grandma and Tan Zijin, who found Xu Anruo woke up, immediately stopped their work.

"Little classmate, you should rest for a while, the weather is still too hot now!" Grandma said hurriedly.

Tan Zijin stood there and nodded vigorously, a little anxious again.

Xu Anruo shook his head and smiled:

"You are all busy, I feel embarrassed to rest alone."

Then he pretended to feel the temperature and continued:

"Fortunately, it's much cooler. I'll finish picking earlier and rest earlier."

After that, he went to the field.

There was no reason for him to ask Tan Zijin not to work.

So he could only accompany her in this way.

The field was more than one mu and two mu.

Xu Anruo only found out after asking her grandmother.

In total, more than thirty bundles of rice were tied. Xu Anruo had already carried one-third of them in the morning. Now that he was resting, he was exhausted.With more energy, she didn't feel that much effort.

She carried about ten more loads.

During this time, Tan Zijin was threshing rice.

But every time Xu Anruo came over, she would take a look, and after meeting Xu Anruo's eyes, she would immediately turn away.

It was almost four o'clock.

Xu Anruo put down a load of rice stalks, and didn't see Tan Zipei.

Then Tan Zijin also took a break and walked towards Xu Anruo. As soon as she got to the side, she whispered:

"Ah!"

"What's wrong?"

Xu Anruo turned around and looked at her.

She found that Tan Zijin's eye sockets began to turn red again, and pointed at Xu Anruo's shoulder and said:

"You, your shoulder..."

"Shoulder?"

Xu Anruo turned his head to look.

Damn, why is it red?

He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt today, and at this time, the position of his shoulder was obviously red with blood, and there was a large area.

It was nothing, but Xu Anruo tugged at his clothes and felt a pain of skin and flesh being torn apart, which made him frown.

"You, wait a minute!"

Tan Zijin said tremblingly.

After that, he turned around and ran into the house.

Grandma also came over, with a look of heartache and regret on her face, and said repeatedly:

"What should I do? It's obvious that your family doesn't want you to work, but you scratched your shoulder here. If your parents knew, they would be heartbroken..."

"Grandma, don't say that. My mom knew that I was here to help my classmates. She wanted my dad to come with me, but I didn't!"

Xu Anruo said quickly.

When grandma heard it, she said repeatedly:

"Good people, my little classmate, your family are all good people."

Xu Anruo just smiled innocently.

At this time, Tan Zijin came out with a bottle of red potion.

Tan Zipei, who had disappeared, also walked towards home from the other end of the cement road, holding a can of pear juice in her hand. She must have bought it from the village store for Xu Anruo.

As expected, she trotted to Xu Anruo and said:

"Brother, this is for you."

She only bought one bottle.

The little girl didn't know how to hide her greed when she handed it to her.

Xu Anruo took it and said:

"Go get the chopsticks."
