Chapter 61: Like a Fish in Water

"This is my eldest sister's son, come to help me, you can call him Brother Xiao." The donkey's father smiled at Sister Qiu and said, while wrapping the straw rope around his waist, he asked, "How is your mother?" Is it better? ”

Sister Qiu nodded, "It's much better, I didn't cough much last night." ”

"That'll be fine." The donkey father smiled and nodded, "Good people have good rewards, your mother is definitely tired from doing work, just rest for two more days." ”

The walls of the wells here in Xiaohe Town are all made of bricks, the width of the well is only enough for an adult to turn his head, and the people who dig the well should tie their waists, roll the cracks of the bricks and slowly go down to the well, and when they are about to reach the surface of the deep well, they will rely on their feet and stand in the middle of the walls of the wells on both sides, and pick up the dirty things in the well.

According to Sister Qiu, this is a tiring and tiring job, and it is also a little dangerous.

However, it was the donkey's father who obviously had many experiences in digging wells, he tied the rope, and Brother Xiao immediately tied the other end of the rope to himself, and the donkey's father first ran over the edge of the well, holding the edge of the well and slowly going down.

At this time, the donkey and the two children also ran over to see the excitement, Lin did and Aunt Chunhua also came over, and they also carried a few handfuls of melons and vegetables in their hands, and put them in the shade.

Seeing that Aunt Chunhua was coming, Sister Qiu went out with Lin Zhun, picked up a handful of dry firewood, and went to the riverside to fetch a bucket of water and came back, preparing to boil water for the donkey's father and Brother Xiao to eat.

When the two of them came back with dry firewood and buckets, they saw that there were a lot of people around the door, Sister Qiu's nerves tensed again in an instant, and she almost felt that something was going on at home again, they had just separated, could it be that the Mei family regretted it again?

When the two got closer, they all came to see the donkey's father Taojing, and there was little excitement in the village, although Taojing was not a rare thing, but it was more difficult than it.

The donkey's father had already gone down to the well, and Brother Xiao slowly put down the bucket of water, and in less than a moment, he brought out the bucket full of Ye Zi's dead branches, and Lin did help pile these things into the corner of the courtyard. Dealers don't seem to have the habit of taking out garbage, and they all pile up garbage with grass, pig, manure, and chicken manure, which are all good things for manure.

When the sun had risen, the donkey's father came up from the well, his face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and he wiped his face and said with a smile: "The water in this deep well is good, I just felt thirsty at the bottom, so I ate it, and the old wells in our village are not as good as this water!" ”

"Here you go again, Ya Cha Su, you are the princess selling melons!" Someone who was familiar with the Fang family by the door quipped, "Where have you scooped the water from a well that isn't sweet?" ”

When he lifted the old bottom like this, the donkey's father's face turned a little red, and he laughed loudly and said, "You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, come and taste it, it's really sweet! ”

"Ya Cha Su, you are uneasy!" The man smiled and said, "I don't eat it, the water is mixed now!" ”

"Uncle Fang, is this well ready?" Sister Qiu asked.

The donkey's father nodded, "It's almost the same, and you can use it for another day, I still have a wooden cover at home, the size is the same, and I will ask the donkey to send it to you later, and you can use it as a manhole cover." ”

After the well was finished, the lively people gradually dispersed, Lin did finish drinking water with the donkey father, and took advantage of the time to pull out all the weeds in the yard, and Lin really pulled out a small piece of land from the ground, and planted the melons and vegetables brought by Aunt Chunhua.

"Your family is late, if it is a month early, you can also sprinkle the vegetable seeds." Lin Zhun was a little regretful, Sister Qiu's yard was so big, if she planted all the vegetables, it would not only be enough for the Jia family and her mother to eat, but also sell a lot. It's a pity that it's already the end of April, and I can't plant much, so I can only wait for the next year.

"It doesn't matter if it's not enough." Lin Zhun smiled and said, "My family has a lot of vegetables, enough for the two of us to eat." ”

Sister Qiu was a little reluctant not to go, the vegetable seedlings brought by Aunt Chunhua had pumpkin seedlings, eggplant seedlings and some vegetable seedlings that she didn't know, all of which were growing just right, and then planting a good seedling that could bloom and bear fruit in a month, by no means what Aunt Chunhua said when she first came, "There are too many vegetable seedlings in the field, and you don't want to take them out".

"Brother Zhun, don't leave at noon, eat at my house, I'll cook for you." Sister Qiu said with a smile.

The atmosphere of Sister Qiu's new home is harmonious, but the atmosphere of the Mei family is not so harmonious, and the second Aunt Mei nests in the west room with her belly up, and does not come out to do housework. Mao's mood was very bad early in the morning, and she wanted to get angry when she thought that the family had lost 100 catties of millet noodles and two pieces of money.

"I did evil in my previous life, and I owe you this top rabbit grandson! I still want to serve you when you are old, all of them have no conscience, and their conscience is all called dogs to eat! I don't know, I still feel that there is a golden egg in my belly! Mao called Mei Yindi to light the fire, and while cooking, he scolded loudly, and all the foaming stars sprayed into the pot.

The Mei family has become accustomed to her way of being angry, no one went up to pick up the stubble, the Jia family and Sister Qiu left, and the Mao family reluctantly scolded his own son, so he could only insinuate and scold the second Aunt Mei.

After eating, Second Uncle Mei took advantage of Mao's and Mei Laosuo to run out inattention, these days at home to play cauliflower, he is too lazy to get out of this physical strength, he can hide.

Most of the idlers in the village gathered at the entrance of the village to chat, and Second Uncle Mei walked over in his clothes, and before he came to him, someone said to him: "Second Mei, your sister-in-law's house is digging a well this morning!" ”

Second Uncle Mei laughed and said, "What are you doing in vain! "Jia is the one who will die sooner or later.

"All the people who went to see the excitement told me that the water in the well was sweet and delicious." The man went on to preach.

"Phew!" Second Uncle Mei leaned lazily against the tree with his hands in his hands, pouting and laughing, "Our family doesn't want to break the well, no matter how sweet it is, can it be used as food to feed people?" ”

The donkey's father came to the house to dig a well, and Lin Qu's family also helped a lot in the process of separating the family. It can be said that if there is no Lin Cheng family, Sister Qiu only relies on her and the Jia family, and it is basically impossible to break away from the Mei family.

Sister Qiu is a person who respects her, and she respects people in return, and she feels uneasy when she owes others favors. For the Jiang family and the Fang family who spared no effort to help her, Sister Qiu wanted to thank them very much, but she was also clear about her current situation, the money was like that, it was not enough for three hangings, and the food was only 100 catties of millet noodles. How to use these things to make a meal in a cost-effective way becomes a problem.

"Brother Zhun, let's go get the river fish." Sister Qiu proposed that there are a lot of river fish in the river in the middle of the village, and every summer rainstorm season, after the rain stops, the river water rises, and a lot of river fish are all washed into the farmland on the road, and many people have picked four or five pounds of big river fish.

Lin Zhun actually didn't plan to eat at Sister Qiu's house, on the contrary, he also wanted to drag Sister Qiu to his house to eat, and then bring the food back to Jia's family, so that they could save a little food.

However, he saw Sister Qiu pulling the corners of his clothes, looking up at him with her head up and looking at him expectantly, a pair of black eyes were round, like the eyes of the cat he raised when he was a child, bright and pure, and he couldn't say anything he refused.

"Okay, let's go get the river fish." Lin Zhun didn't hold back again, stretched out his palm and touched the top of Sister Qiu's soft hair, and caught river fish that could also be used as food for Sister Qiu and Jia's family.

When Dayin and the donkey heard that they were going to get river fish in the river at the entrance of the village, the two children were naturally happy to bloom, but they were afraid that Lin Zhun and Sister Qiu would not take them to play together, so they each ran home and got the basket.

Aunt Chunhua heard about it, and she only told Lin Zhun to be optimistic about his younger brother and sister, and not to fall into the river.

Just a few days of rain, the water in the river at the entrance of the village has risen a lot, Lin Zhun found a place where the water is shallow and slow, placed a basket, and took off his shoes and rolled up his trousers, flowed into the shallow water, bent down to touch the water, and threw a palm-sized small river fish or a small green shrimp on the shore in less than a moment.

When the 10-year-old boy was naughty and active, Lin Zhun took off his shoes and went to Lin Zhun's side, and followed the fish and shrimp in the river, Lin Zhun smiled helplessly, and told them not to go into the deep water again, and acquiesced to the two little boys playing in the water.

Lin Zhun is already a strong little boy, sinking his heart, and there is strength in his palm, just need to realize that the small river fish swim by the hand, most of the time they can touch the river fish in their hands, and the big seal and the donkey are not so powerful, learn Lin Zhun's appearance to take the river fish, usually just look at the river fish swimming over, either can't hold their breath and scream to scare the river fish away, or the small hand can't hold the slippery river fish, and the river fish runs away.

After an hour, the harvest of several people was quite abundant, the small river fish and small green shrimp were loaded with half a basket, and the donkey and the big seal were also playing happily, and they were still unsatisfied, desperately muttering that Lin Zhun would take them to touch the river fish next time, and gave Lin Zhun a reward.

In the basket in the river, two river fish weighing a pound were entered, and as soon as they left the water, they could not stop rolling and jumping in the basket. Sister Qiu took it out in surprise and took a look, one was a carp river fish, and the other was an echinoderm, all of which were common river fish in the river. Now is not the best season to take river fish, you can catch such a big river fish, Sister Qiu was pleasantly surprised, and it was thanks to the good location of Lin Zhun to get off the basket.

When a group of people arrived home, they were just in time for Aunt Chunhua to send an old man out, "Sister Qiu is back, this is Lang Zhong invited by your eldest aunt." ”

Sister Qiu and Lin Zhun hurriedly paused their steps, and asked respectfully towards Langzhong: "Langzhong, how is my mother kissing her?" ”
