Wu Huihong looked at Shu Nuan standing at the door of the kitchen, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"Didn't you say you should go to the house and rest? Why did you run to the kitchen? ”

"I don't think it's early, so I'm going to cook first." After Shu Nuan said this, she couldn't help but sigh. "It's just that this tank is out of water."

I was in a hurry this morning, and I was busy until the afternoon, so I didn't notice this little problem.

Recently, even if Shu Nuan wants to do heavy work at home, her own body does not allow it, and there are two relatives who take turns to stay by her side, just to keep an eye on her and let her rest more.

"Out of water?" Wu Huihong walked over and opened the water tank to take a look. "It's really gone. In this way, you wait at home, and I go fetch water. ”

"I'll go with you."

Shu Nuan looked at her grandmother, who had already picked up the bucket and was about to leave, and hurriedly chased after her.

The two of them walked one after the other towards the well in the middle of the village, and naturally met many villagers along the way.

After arriving at the destination, Wu Huihong pointed to the stone bench and instructed Shu Nuan: "You sit here and wait for a while, I'll go fetch water." ”

Shu Nuan knew that even if he passed now, he couldn't help.

So, she nodded slightly: "Okay." ”

The well in the village has been around for a few years, but the water quality is still very good.

A derrick is erected on the well, on which is mounted a shaft that can be turned with a handle, and a rope is wound around the shaft, and a bucket is tied to one end of the rope. Swing the handle so that the bucket falls together, and the well water can be easily lifted.

The villagers usually come in the morning to fetch water, but now it is afternoon, so they are the only ones who fetch water.

Just as Shu Nuan was watching her grandmother fetch water, a person slowly came behind her.

"Nuan Nuan, what are you doing here?"

Shu Nuan heard this familiar voice and hurriedly turned his head to look behind him.

I saw Shu Hao holding a bicycle and looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

"Brother Mouse." Shu Nuan shouted softly, and then continued to answer: "There is no water at home, come and fetch some water and go back." ”

Shu Hao heard her say this, and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the well.

At this moment, Wu Huihong was about to shake the handle to lift the wooden barrel filled with water from the well.

"I'm going to help."

Shu Hao said, put the bicycle to the side, rolled up his sleeves and walked over.

"Second grandma, I'll come."

Wu Huihong turned her head to look at Shu Hao and greeted with a smile: "Haozi, you're back." ”

"Well, I haven't had any business lately, so I came back early."

Shu Hao has been setting up a stall in the town outside the mountain for the past two years, mainly selling small things such as lighters and keychains.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it stands to reason that business should be very good, but the town outside the mountain has few locals, and outsiders will begin to go home one after another as soon as the Chinese New Year arrives.

As soon as there are few people, business will naturally be difficult.

"It's good to come back, it's going to be the New Year here. Spend more time with your parents, they often talk to me about you. ”

Wu Huihong sighed and said these words, but there was a thick smile in her eyes.

Shu Hao quickly lifted the two buckets of water from the well, and at the same time did not forget to answer the words of the people around him.

"Second grandmother, I know all this. But I came back today unfortunately, and my parents didn't seem to be at home. ”

When Wu Huihong heard this, she thought for a moment before continuing to answer: "Your parents seem to have gone to see your grandmother today, and you are alone at home with a cold pot and a cold stove, why don't you have dinner at your second grandmother's house tonight?" ”

"That's a good feeling."

Shu Haole said he, and then picked up two buckets of water.

Wu Huihong smiled kindly: "That's okay, we'll go back now." ”

Shu Nuan watched the two people over there slowly walk towards him, and stood up with a cane.

"Let's go, go home."

In Wu Huihong's greeting, the group walked back slowly.

At night.

Shu Nuan stewed a big pot of bones and home-grown white radishes, and the family gathered around to eat a simple pig-killing dish.

"Grandma, we will also have a pig at home next year, right?"

"Okay."

Wu Huihong replied.

And Shu Hao and Shu Zheming on the table were full of oil.

After a long time of stewing, the bone broth in the pot turns a rich milky white, and the pieces of soft and juicy fresh radish with a hint of sweetness, sprinkled with green green onions, the taste is very delicious.

However, the direct stew is somewhat tasteless, and at this time it will be accompanied by the chili sauce made by Shu Nuan himself.

The homemade chili sauce is simply stir-fried and seasoned according to your taste, and it becomes a very flavorful dipping dish.

Whether it's pork ribs or white radish, as long as you gently roll it in the dipping plate, no matter how bland the taste will become, it will become delicious.

The family was obviously very satisfied with tonight's dinner.

Meal.

Shu Hao was about to get up and leave.

"Second grandma, I'll go home first, and I'll come back tomorrow to disturb you."

"It's getting late, stay safe on the road."

After Wu Huihong gave an order, she was about to turn around and go into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Shu Nuan looked at Shu Hao, who had already gotten up, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Mouse, can you take me to the town tomorrow?" I have something to do. ”

When Shu Hao heard her inquiry, he had already stepped out of the threshold for a moment, and then looked back.

"Your leg hurts?"

Shu Hao looked at her injured left leg with obvious hesitation in his eyes.

"I'm almost as good as I am, out of the way."

When Shu Nuan said this, he deliberately shook his feet to signal the other party to rest assured.

It is said that it will take a hundred days to hurt her muscles and bones, but she feels that her injury is obviously getting better too quickly.

At first, it was just that the pain was unbearable in the first few days, and then I gradually didn't feel anything.

In the past few days, she can clearly feel the itching inside the bones, and she knows that the bones inside are already beginning to heal.

"That'...... That's fine. Shu Hao nodded and continued to ask: "When are you going to leave, I will come and pick you up when the time comes." ”

"Go early and come back early, we'll leave tomorrow morning at seven o'clock." After Shu Nuan confirmed the departure time, he confirmed to the other party again: "Is it okay?" ”

Shu Hao patted her on the shoulder: "Of course you can." ”

Shu Nuan smiled slightly: "Thank you." ”

"What are you and me polite about?" Shu Hao waved his hand. "Then I'll go first, you rest early."

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow."

After sending Shu Hao away, Shu Nuan slowly turned around and went back to the house.

In fact, it was not her temporary idea to ask Brother Mouse for help.

She wanted to go to the town a few days ago, but Brother Niu has been busy with people recently, and she can't find anyone to send her for a while.

When I came back last month, I planned to put my money in the credit union, but I didn't have the right time.

Now that Brother Mouse is back, he just took advantage of this time to go to the town to do all the things that should be done.
