Xiao family.

"Let me just say that Meng Xiaoman is a disaster star. Look, it has only been a while since something happened again. Fortunately, we are separated." Mother Xiao said while twisting the hemp rope.

Father Xiao smoked a dry pipe, blew out the smoke, and said: "Fortunately, he is fine, otherwise the marriage of the third daughter-in-law would have been in vain. Not to mention that she has not given birth to a child, and she will be called a widower."

"No," Zhou Xinghua said from the side, "but I heard that not only did she survive the disaster this time, but she also had a good future. When the third brother was looking for her, he shot two wild boars, two or three A hundred kilograms of big wild boar, still two!”. Zhou Xinghua stretched out her two fingers, feeling envious.

After hearing this, Xiao's mother's eyes lit up, "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true." Xiao Xiangbei continued, "In the afternoon, the third child went next door to invite Zhang Pingan to kill the pig. I heard it through the wall."

"Then tell me, with so much meat, how much can we share?" Zhou Xinghua asked. She hadn't eaten meat in a long time and she was greedy.

"I don't know about this. I heard that it is divided equally among the villagers who help find people."

"So, you won't give it to us?" Zhou Xinghua's voice suddenly became louder.

There was a severe drought. In order to save food, the family ate black buns these days. She ate until her face turned black. Now there is so much meat in front of us, but none of them!

Mother Xiao looked at her useless greedy look and rolled her eyes, "Those people just helped them. We are his relatives, so they will definitely give us, not only give them, but also give them the biggest piece." ."

After Xiao's father finished smoking, he knocked on his pipe, "There is no overnight feud between father and son. Besides, our family didn't treat him badly. His wife married him and the house was given to him. He made so much meat, if he can show some filial piety, Mom and Dad, it’s definitely not justified.”

Xiao's mother nodded and agreed with him, "Just wait for the third child to bring the meat, and I'll let you satisfy your cravings tonight.".

In the room, only Xiao's father, Xiao's mother and Xiao Xiangbei were immersed in the joy of having meat to eat. No one else spoke.

Xiao Xiangnan and his wife have always been taciturn. Even if they have some thoughts in their hearts, unlike Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, they dare not speak out. As for Xiao Xiangxi and Xiao Xixi, although they are young, they can see the truth better than their parents: Xiao Xiangdong and Meng Xiaoman do not want to have anything to do with these people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have passed by Zhang Ping'an's house without even saying a word when he was looking for him to kill a pig.

Zheng Lingling glanced at the strange atmosphere in the room and had some questions in her mind, but she didn't have the time to ask them.

The expectations and longings before marriage have been smoothed away by her husband's indifference and heavy housework, and her round face has become thinner.

It was getting late, and the smell of meat came to Zhang Ping'an's house next door. The Xiao family didn't wait for Xiao Xiangdong to deliver pork.

Seeing several children at home standing in the yard, greedily smelling the aroma of meat, Xiao's mother's face became darker and darker.

Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and found the old house.

As soon as Xiao Xiangdong opened the door, Xiao's mother started scolding him, accusing him of being unfilial and disobedient. He made so much pork and didn't know how to give some to his family. He didn't even have parents, brothers and sisters in his heart.

Xiao Xiangdong listened to her calmly and said that those were gifts to the villagers who helped find Meng Xiaoman. They didn't find anyone, so of course they didn't.

After saying that, he ignored Mother Xiao's scolding and closed the courtyard door directly.

Xiao's mother scolded her at the door until her mouth was dry and she didn't see anyone coming out of the courtyard, so she had to go home.

In the evening, Sister Fang, Xiao Xiangshang, Zhang Quanliang and Mr. Chen all came to visit Meng Xiaoman.

Compared with his parents who only care about the benefits but don't care, Xiao Xiangdong's attitude towards those who really care about Meng Xiaoman is completely different.

Shen Jiaojiao's case only gave everyone more talk, but it did not affect the Qinghe Brigade's continued search for water sources. Seeing that the water in the village well was running out of food, Meng Xiaoman thought over and over again and decided to use the lucky charm in the space.

The last time Shen Jiaojiao hurt her, the villagers searched for her in the mountains and found her in the middle of the night. To be honest, she was a little moved. Although there are some bad people like Xiao Daqing, most of the people in the village are relatively simple.

In addition, she had seen the horrors of fighting each other for water and food in the last days, and she didn't want the place where she lived to become like that.

On this day, it was time to go into the mountains to find water sources again. Meng Xiaoman took out the lucky charm as soon as he left the courtyard. When he walked upstream of the creek on the back hillside, he was suddenly tripped by a stone. This stone appeared. It was strange. Meng Xiaoman often passed by here and had never seen this stone before. She immediately thought that this was probably a place with a water source.

"This stone is blocking the road here, Xiao Xiangdong, let's move it to prevent people from tripping."

When people from one team saw this, they smiled and praised: "Xiangdong, you two are really kind-hearted."

Another sister-in-law replied: "No, I think it was because of this that Xiaoman was okay when she rolled down the mountain. God bless good people."

Moving the stone away, Meng Xiaoman saw that the soil below was slightly wet. He said to Xiao Xiangdong, "Look, the soil here is actually wet. Tell me, is there a source of water down there?".

Xiao Xiangdong grabbed a handful of soil, rubbed it between his fingers, asked Meng Xiaoman to step aside, and started digging with a hoe.

"Hey, what is this boy Xiangdong doing?"

"Why did you dig up the ground so easily?"

More and more people came over, and Meng Xiaoman told everyone what he had just discovered, guessing that there might be water underneath.

Hearing that there might be water, several men also joined the digging team.

The more we dug, the wetter the soil became. When we dug to a depth of more than one meter, a column of water suddenly rushed up.

"Ah, it's out of the water, it's out of the water!"

"Spring, there is a spring here."

The whole team cheered.

Zhang Dachuan bent down, took a sip of water with his hand, and tasted, "Well, it's fresh water, you can drink it."

Looking at the rising spring water, Zhang Dachuan smiled broadly. This was what his team found. Thinking of this, he looked at Meng Xiaoman and Xiao Xiangdong with admiration in his eyes, "These are Xiao Xiangdong and Xiao Xiangdong." Thanks to the hole, if they hadn't moved the stone away, this spring wouldn't have been found. They are the benefactors of our entire brigade."

Hearing Zhang Dachuan's words, everyone couldn't help but applaud.

Xiao Xiangdong waved his hand, "Xiaoman discovered this spring. This is her credit. I just put in some effort."
