"OK," Sun yuan promised without hesitation, "my father asked someone to send the portrait to my son."

The goal of this trip was successfully achieved. Sun Jiao was relieved, and there was a bit more truth in her happy look: "thank you, Dad!"

————

When sun Jiao saw sun yuan, Liu Jin was holding the bedding she had replaced yesterday and was going to the river for cleaning.

In the clothes on his chest, the girl was humming happily.

He didn't want to bring the girl here. After all, the river is full of water. If he accidentally touches the water, it will cause irreparable damage to her body.

But the girl said she was afraid of being taken away by the woman again and refused to stay at home.

Although he knew she was making excuses, no matter how brave he was, he couldn't come back in such a short time. But he couldn't stand the girl's plea. In addition, he couldn't bear to bring her because he thought she had been dusty in the dark box for so long.

Forget it, the boy thought helplessly, it's a big deal to put her away from the water. He would be careful not to let her touch the water.

"Lala ~ Lala ~"

The girl's voice became louder and louder. The beautiful melody sounded in her ear with her voice. It was a melody that Liu Jin had never heard.

Even this long and difficult road seems to become easier.

"What is this song?" after listening to it for a while, Liu Jin couldn't help asking.

Although he was not as proficient in rhythm as those aristocrats, Fang also taught him some music theory when he was a child.

The melody of this song is quite different from those deep and heavy tunes prevailing in the girder. It sounds lighter and more beautiful.

"Does it sound good?" the girl said immediately, "I forgot where I heard it. If you want to hear it, I'll teach you!"

"OK."

In this way, Tang Xiaotang taught Liu Jin to hum songs and followed him to the river.

This is the only river that passes through the village. There is plenty of grass and trees on the riverside. Liu Jin took her through the path stepped out by the villagers to a shallow river full of random stones.

This is the place where the villagers wash their clothes, because they came early. At this time, there was no one by the river.

The boy found a place with a boulder, first threw the bedding into the water, then wiped the flat position on the boulder with his sleeves, and then carefully took Tang Xiaotang out of his arms and put it on the boulder.

But the wind by the river was not small. As soon as it was put down, the wind blew her pages up.

Seeing this, the boy took off his outer shirt and gently covered her.

"You wait for me here." the boy touched her "head" and whispered.

"OK." Tang Xiaotang agreed.

So she was bored lying on the boulder, wrapped in the boy's clothes and blowing the cool breeze. She watched him roll up his sleeves and scrub the bedding with the natural washboard formed by the stones along the river.

The world's science and technology is still at a very backward level. There is only such a way to wash clothes. Fortunately, teenagers' bedding is thin and easy to wash.

"Hua la..."

The water was gurgling. Tang Xiaotang listened to the sound and looked at the map in front of him.

Up there, three white dots are getting closer.

Someone is coming, but it doesn't seem to be an important role. Moreover, looking at this route, they should come from the village to wash clothes by the river.

Sure enough, when the boy picked up the dripping bedding and was ready to take her back, the three points appeared in front of them - three women who came together and dressed up as village women with wooden pots.

Looking at the young man's look, Tang Xiaotang knew that his previous speculation was right.

This river is the only place for girls and daughters-in-law to wash clothes in the village. Usually there are not many people, so Liu Jin doesn't feel strange when she meets them.

These three people all knew him. Liu Jin greeted them one by one. One of them was an older woman who usually had a good relationship with his three aunts. When she saw him holding a wet quilt, she asked him, "little Liu Tongsheng, why do you wash the quilt when you are not young?"

For the backward and poor Liujia village, cloth and cotton are very rare things. Therefore, in order to prolong their service life, they hardly wash bedding or clothes.

Coincidentally, she saw this woman today. She is a famous big mouth in the village. Once she knows anything, the whole village will know the next day.

If at ordinary times, in the face of such a problem, Liu Jin would not say more to them with a faint "thank you for your concern".

The women are used to his indifferent attitude. He is one of the few children in the village. Even if his age and generation are much younger than these women, they can only mutter a few words behind his back that he is lofty and despises others. They dare not say anything in front of him.

But to the woman's surprise, the young man who always looked light in the past showed a slightly helpless look today and slowly explained to her: "I went out to work yesterday. Maybe the doors and windows at home were not closed, but I went into the thief."

"Ah! It's really scary! Are you all right with little Liu Tongsheng?" the woman covered her mouth and looked frightened. Several daughters-in-law next to her also looked shocked: "did you tell the chief?"

Although the expression was so, in fact, there were no surprises in the hearts of these women. Just as his third sister-in-law thought, Liu Jin's old house itself is at the end of the village. There are often thieves from other villages, especially he is the only one in other families. He doesn't even have a dog. It's strange not to enter the thief.

"It's all right," Liu Jin sighed and said in a helpless tone, "I'm not at home and I don't see who did it..."

"It's needless to say! Those rascals in the nearby Lijia village must have done it!" the woman immediately answered with indignation and said, "little Liu Tongsheng! You still have to tell the chief of the village about it and find justice in their village!"

"I didn't have any loss, so I didn't bother the manager," Liu Jin shook her head and looked a little helpless. "Fortunately, there was no property at home, but the bedding was dirty. I want to wash it while it's fine today."

When the woman saw that he didn't go, she didn't persuade him any more. She didn't care whether the boy had lost. She just wanted to know about it and have to say it later.

"Well, little Liu Tongsheng, hurry back, and we won't delay you." she smiled, but her eyes could not wait. Tang Xiaotang could smell the gossip even in Liu Jin's clothes.

The other two women naturally thought the same thing - after all, they were not related to Liu Jin. Even his uncles and aunts didn't care about him. Where could they care?

"Three aunts, walk slowly. I'll go first."
