Tang Lin applied cold water to his face, and he seemed to be in better spirits.Hearing the sound of rain outside, Tang Lin unconsciously walked into the room where Su Zhi lived, looked around, and his sight fell on the single bed with the quilts neatly piled up in one corner, and in his mind I couldn't help but think of the person who was pressed on the bed last night, and the fingertips seemed to still carry the warm touch of the other person.

When Tang Lin came back to his senses, he had dialed Su Zhi's phone with his fingers, and within a minute of dialing the phone, the other party had connected it. Su Zhi's deep and magnetic voice came from Tang Lin's ear.

"Tang Lin, what's the matter?" Su Zhi, who happened to turn on his phone after getting off the plane, took his luggage and sat in the car driven by Secretary Qiao, asked softly.

Hearing his boyfriend's voice, Tang Lin, who unconsciously softened his brows, suddenly felt his empty heart was filled, and said with a smile, "Su Zhi, are you here yet?"

"Well, I just got in the car and am going to go to the company." Su Zhi twitched his lips and replied with a smile.

Holding the mobile phone, Tang Lin went to the bed and sat down. Looking at the rain still falling outside the window, he felt that he was still sober: "Boyfriend, I miss you."

Hearing Tang Lin's love words for the first time, Su Zhi's face suddenly became as hot as a fire.He glanced at Secretary Qiao who was driving in the driver's seat, seeing that the other party was not paying attention to him, he breathed a little inwardly, and reached out to touch his face.

"Tang Lin, have you been drinking?" Usually Tang Lin's voice was very clear, but now it was sexy and hoarse, making Su Zhi's mouth dry.

Tang Lin waited for a long time before Su Zhi spoke. Hearing the other party's question, Tang Lin couldn't help but burst into laughter, which was hearty and crisp.Su Zhi listened on the other side with his ears trembling and his heart pounding. He felt that Tang Lin's laughter...was very attractive.

Tang Lin laughed for a while, and lay on his back on the bed: "Well, I drank some wine at Brother Hao's house today."

Su Zhi frowned, and said nervously, "Is it uncomfortable? Do you have a headache?"

Tang Lin shook his head. After shaking his head, he realized that the other party couldn't see him, so he said, "No, don't worry, I'm not drunk, I'm just a little happy today."

Happy?Su Zhi was stunned and asked, "What happened?"

"Brother Hao said thank you, the 1000 yuan." After Tang Lin finished speaking, his voice paused, and he continued seriously, "Su Zhi, thank you, I am very happy." Glad that you treat my friends and brothers as your own, Glad you care about yourself.

There was no echo from Su Zhi's end for a long time, Tang Lin was not in a hurry, and waited quietly, as if he could still hear Su Zhi's slow breathing in his ears.

As for Su Zhi——

Su Zhi couldn't restrain the smile on his face, his expression was very excited.Secretary Qiao looked at her boss' expression through the rearview mirror, and guessed that the person on the phone must be Tang Lin—only Tang Lin could make her boss smile like this.

Tang Lin and Su Zhi talked for a long time, until Tang Lin's mobile phone was completely out of battery.

In the afternoon, the rain had stopped.Tang Lin, who woke up after taking a nap, went to the other side of the village to find Brother Dahu.Tang Dahu happened to be at home, and as soon as Tang Lin passed by, he saw him sitting in the yard peeling a piece of wood.

"Tang Lin, what wind brought you here." Tang Dahu looked up and saw Tang Lin standing outside the courtyard gate, put down the woodwork in his hands, stood up and greeted him, and opened the courtyard door for him.

Tang Lin walked into the yard, looked at the sawdust all over the ground, and asked, "Brother Big Tiger, what are you carving?"

Tang Dahu scratched the back of his head, and said foolishly: "I don't want to carve a piglet for my little girl to play with."

Tang Dahu was five years older than Tang Lin. He just got married the year before, and this year his wife gave him a daughter.And when it comes to wood carving, Tang Dahu's carpentry is really good. I heard from Mr. Tang that when Tang Dahao was seven or eight years old, his parents sent him to a carpenter in the next village to learn some wood carving skills. , this craft can't earn money for food, so Tang Dahu develops it as a hobby, carving small trinkets for the children in the village from time to time.

Tang Lin took the little pig that he had carved more than half of it and was just about to finish it, and gave Tang Dahu a thumbs up: "Brother Big Hu, your craftsmanship is amazing." Although the little pig hadn't been painted yet, it was already It was very lifelike, and when touched by fingers, it was extremely smooth, and he didn't feel any wood thorns. Although Tang Dahu looked like a 1.8-meter-tall man, his thoughts were really delicate.

"It's okay, it's okay." Tang Dahu said embarrassedly, scratching the back of his head.

Tang Lin put the little pig back in its place, thought for a while, and asked, "Brother Big Tiger, can you carve a tiger?"

"Tiger is not difficult, Tang Lin, are you going to give it away?" Tang Dahu asked.In the hearts of Chinese people, the tiger is a symbol of exorcising evil and avoiding disasters, peace and auspiciousness, and can also protect wealth. The tiger is the king of beasts, it is mighty, strong and brave.So many people, if they want to send wood carvings, they will think of tigers at the first time.

Tang Lin nodded a little embarrassedly: "Is it going to send someone away, is it troublesome?"

Tang Dahu waved his hand: "It's okay, this thing is easy to make, and it will be done soon."

"Success, then thank you Brother Dahu." Tang Lin thanked him, and then said, "By the way, Brother Dahu, we are also planning to lay a foundation for the land in front of our house. , the price is the same as others in the village."

Tang Dahu didn't expect that there would be a business delivered to his door today, so his smile became even wider. He rubbed his hands and said, "Success, I just laid the foundation for a villager yesterday, and the rest of the time is free. I'll call the brothers tomorrow , to measure the size for you, and see how it is done."

Tang Lin nodded: "We don't understand this matter, I'll listen to you. Then it's all right, I'll go back first."

Tang Dahu sent him to the door, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are all veterans. I will send your tiger over tomorrow by the way."

……

On the second day, after Tang Lin and his family had breakfast, Tang Dahu brought a few brothers to the door.The mother-in-law hurriedly called them into the house and poured everyone a glass of warm water.After Tang Dahu thanked Mrs. Tang, he went to measure the foundation with Mr. Tang.

Tang Lin and the others were also blindsided by these things about the foundation. Tang Dahu and others said what to do, and they listened.Anyway, they are all from the same village, and Mr. Tang has watched Tang Dahu and others grow up, so he trusts them very much.

The sun was not so strong this morning, and there was a slight breeze from time to time, so it was easier to work.Tang Dahu and the others moved very quickly and did not take much rest. They finished a corner in one morning.Lunch was eaten at Tang Lin's house, Tang Lin was in charge of the spoon, Tang Dahu and others ate their mouths full of oil, and kept praising Tang Lin's cooking for its delicious taste.

After eating, we rested for a while.Tang Dahu and the others started to work again.The temperature was relatively high in the afternoon, everyone's faces were flushed from the sun, and their naked upper bodies were dripping with sweat, which could still reflect light.Afraid of heatstroke, Granny went into the kitchen and made a big pot of mung bean syrup.

Put the mung bean syrup in the refrigerator for an hour, drink a big sip and feel happy like a fairy.Tang Dahu and the others were not polite either. After thanking Granny, each of them filled a bowl and finished it in two or three sips.The mother-in-law filled another big bowl for everyone, and the big pot of mung bean syrup soon bottomed out.

The foundation couldn't be finished in a day and a half. Tang Dahu and the others stopped working at five o'clock and planned to continue early tomorrow morning.Grandma Xi wanted to keep them for dinner, but they all refused.In Tang Dahu's team, most of the people are from the surrounding villages, and they are not far from home, so they usually don't stay to eat while helping others to finish the work.

When Tang Dahu left, he handed Tang Lin the carved and painted wooden tiger.Tang Lin looked at the little tiger whose palm was only half the size of a thumb, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.He also twisted a red string bracelet on purpose, and passed it through the tiger that Tang Dahu deliberately left a gap in.

I hope Su Zhi will like it.Tang Lin thought silently while playing with the little tiger.

After seeing off Tang Dahu, Tang Lin walked back to the small villa, and saw Kang Ye who was holding Ah Huang.Kang Ye pointed at Ah Huang and didn't know what to say to Mr. Tang, but Mr. Tang kept nodding.

Tang Lin walked to them quickly, and heard Master Kang say: "Then I'll leave Ah Huang to you, just watch it in two days, and I'll be back in two days."

Mr. Tang took the rope that bound Ah Huang, patted the old scalper, and said, "Don't worry, you might as well take this opportunity to stay in the city for two more days."

Master Kang smiled wryly: "I can't live for that long. If my daughter-in-law didn't call me every day to let me go, I would rather stay in the village and take Ah Huang for a stroll every day."

"You, you were born in the midst of blessings and don't know your blessings. That's all right, don't worry, I will feed you two catties for sure." Mr. Tang said with a smile, and the old scalper snorted, as if he was very satisfied.

With eyes full of reluctance, Kang Ye stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the old scalper: "Ah Huang, you must be obedient. I will come back to pick you up in two days."

Tang Lin looked at Master Kang's reluctance, as if saying goodbye to his own daughter, smiled, and asked, "What's the matter, Master Kang, are you going to play in the city?"

Mr. Tang smiled and said for him: "His grandson seems to have won some kind of award in the university. This award is quite big. The family is happy. They want to take this old man to the city to celebrate together."

Tang Lin gave Kang Ye a thumbs up after hearing this, and Kang Ye was so beautiful that he said proudly: "That kid has some skills."

Both Tang Lin and Mr. Tang were amused by his shameless self-promotion.Tang Lin helped Mr. Tang pick up Ahuang, and imitated Master Kang to give the old ox gently. Ahuang was very obedient and enjoyed it quietly, only humming twice from time to time.

Kang Ye explained a few more words to Mr. Tang, then waved his hands and went home to pack his luggage. His son was already driving on the road and would arrive at Tangjia Village in a while. Tonight, Kang Ye would go to Linshui City with him.

Tang Lin tied Ahuang to the backyard. There was a small room in the backyard. It used to be used to store firewood, but now it was used to store some things. Ahuang was just right to be placed in it, and he was not afraid of wind and rain at night.

Kang Ye left behind a bag of vegetable leaves and a large bag of carrots.Tang Lin poured some vegetable leaves into a basin, and put them in Ah Huang's temporary "home", so that he could eat some if he was hungry at night.

Ah Huang lay on the ground, poked his mouth into the basin, chewed a mouthful of vegetable leaves, and began to eat happily.Tang Lin stood and watched for a while, seeing that it didn't lose its temper because it left Kang Ye, he was a little relieved.
