053 Fetching water (asking for a monthly pass)

Xu Dalang finished eating the fried dumplings in two bites, and poured the millet porridge into his mouth, wiping his mouth with satisfaction, "It's delicious!" ”

Xu Yue stretched out her hand to wipe off the yellow rice grains on the corner of her brother's mouth, and saw that her family was happy to eat, and she was full of a sense of achievement.

After eating and drinking, the family of five squeezed into a small room and fell asleep sweetly.

This is the most restful sleep Xu Yue has slept since she crossed, there is no hunger, thirst, no flight in her dreams, and there are no strange and numb faces of the victims.

She slept all night until dawn, huddled in the quilt, and lazily looked through the broken window at the family members who had already gotten up and were busy, but deliberately lowered their voices.

My brother and my father were building the roof, my mother was holding a bunch of boards and playing the line with an ink fountain, and my sister was cooking breakfast on a small stove in the corner of the courtyard.

The bright sun was shining down, and it was a little unreal.

Xu Yue stretched her waist and took a deep breath of the cold air mixed with the aroma of rice porridge, and a carp jumped up from the bed that had little residual warmth.

"You can really sleep." Xu Erniang, who heard the movement outside the house, teased.

But seeing Xu Yue's hair, her eyes lit up, and she immediately rushed in, holding Xu Yue and combing her hair.

Xu Yue struggled to no avail, so she had to remind her sister not to make too strange hairstyles for herself.

Xu Erniang hurriedly said no, no, she took a look at the little girls' hair buns outside and combed them almost.

However, there is still her own design in it, and the hairband is woven into the shape of petals, which looks more delicate than those ordinary ones.

Without a mirror, Xu Yue couldn't see what she looked like, and could only guess from the appreciative gaze of her father and brother that her hairstyle was beautiful today.

Who would have thought that she would travel through once and prostitute a free stylist for nothing~

"Da Lang, don't be busy, go to the front water shop to get some water and come back." Wang commanded.

Xu Dalang sighed, immediately left Xu Da, picked up the two brand-new wooden barrels in the corner of the yard, and prepared to go out.

Xu Yue immediately chased after her, "I'm going too." ”

Xu Dalang nodded with a smile and motioned for his sister to go forward.

Xu Yue took out the blue bucket in the research room and asked Wang, "Ah Niang, can I take out this bucket and use it?" ”

Afraid that A-Niang would think that she was just playful, Xu Yue explained, "There is no water tank at home, let my sister add a hydrocoagulation technique, and the water in it can last for a long time." ”

Wang didn't respond, only looked at Xu Erniang, and asked if he could use a plastic bucket to add condensation.

Xu Erniang nodded, this is feasible, and, "I can make another hidden magic array, so that people can't help but ignore the existence of this bucket." ”

Xu Da suddenly laughed, and the money for a water tank was saved.

When Xu Dalang heard Xu Erniang's words, he handed the two buckets in his hand to her, "Enchant." ”

"Wood doesn't work." Xu Erniang ruthlessly refused.

Xu Dalang let out a disappointed sigh, took the half-human-high plastic bucket in Xu Yue's hand, and the brother and sister went out to fetch water together.

Xu Da was going to find someone to build the roof, so he took a flat pole and followed him.

As soon as the father and son went out, they met Wang Dayou's family.

Wang Dayou also wanted to find someone to repair the house, Xu Dayou handed the flat burden to Xu Yue to carry, and the two men left first.

Tong was carrying an empty bucket on his shoulder, and he was about to fetch water, so Xu Yue and the others slowly walked towards the water mill together.

The eldest lady of the Wang family led her younger brother behind her mother, with a smile on her face, her eyes looking here and there, full of curiosity about this new environment.

There is a big well in the north city, and a pavilion has been built on it, and the people who live here will come here every morning to fetch water.

There are a lot of people coming and going, and there are a lot of children who are as big as Xu Dalang, and such a big child is already used as an adult in a poor family.

Just like Xu Yue's age, one person carried a heavy wooden barrel that was almost as tall as his own, and moved it to his home little by little.

I met familiar adults on the way, and occasionally helped children carry a ride, and the neighborhood relationship was harmonious.

The Xu Yue siblings deliberately waited for most of the people to finish fetching water and left, and then put their plastic buckets into the well to fill the water.

It took about a minute, and it was all up to Xu Yue to play in the water while playing with the water, so it didn't arouse suspicion.

When the plastic bucket was filled and Xu Dalang lifted the bucket, the surface of the well sank down by almost ten centimeters.

Fortunately, there were few people, and no one paid attention to the problem of the water level.

Tong had already filled the water, but seeing that Xu Yue had been playing by the water, and Xu Dalang didn't care about her, he was afraid that she would fall into the water, so he had been waiting by the side.

It wasn't until Xu Yue seemed to have had enough of playing that the two families took the water back together.

The wooden bucket itself has a certain weight, and it is a little difficult for an adult of the Tong family to carry two buckets of water.

Compared with her, Xu Dalang carried three buckets of water alone, his pace was vigorous, and he could still hold his sister with one free hand, which was particularly prominent.

The people who walked past the brother and sister couldn't help but look back and look at each other in amazement.

"This new kid has good strength!" Someone admired.

The thick-skinned one followed directly, and asked after the brother and sister:

"There are people in the west of the city to do the porters, and one person can take care of one meal for five dollars a day, boy, do you want to try it with your uncle?"

But he didn't want to, the young man ignored his inquiry and walked on his own.

The man took two steps closer suspiciously, and he was about to rub in front of Xu Yue, this was Xu Dalang's taboo, so he immediately turned around and replied indifferently: "Don't go!" ”

At the same time, he raised his hand and made a warning gesture, signaling the man not to follow.

The man was stunned by this move, but the people had already rejected him, and he had no choice but to give up.

But thinking that he was frightened by a kid, he became angry, and sighed at the backs of the brother and sister in the back, and then left.

Tong Shi watched the man leave angrily, and then looked at the Xu family brothers and sisters who were walking in front, and shook his head with a helpless smile.

It was still a little cold in the morning, and she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and couldn't help coughing lightly.

I was afraid that the cold would reach the children, so I called the two children and sped up to go home.

Xu Dalang carried water into the house, Xu Yue stood at the door and looked at Tong's back, and stepped into the courtyard with a slight frown.

"The aunt of the Wang family seems to be sick." Xu Yue whispered to her sister.

Xu Erniang: "Huh? "Excuse me, she is sick with her, and she has a husband and a child, what does it matter to you?

Xu Yue looked at her sister's eyes, and also felt that she was worrying too much, shrugged her shoulders, and didn't want to think about it.

In the middle of the morning, Xu Da and Wang Dayou came back, and the two went to the government to receive relief grain, 20 catties of soybeans, 30 catties of millet, and 10 catties of wheat, a total of 60 catties of grain.

Xu Da walked into the house carrying a burlap bag full of grain, and beckoned outside, "Come in." ”

Who's calling it?

Several members of the family looked out the door, and it turned out to be workers who had been called to repair the house.
