Chapter 44: Catching Fish and Washing Clothes
Following.
Lin Xiangrong got up early in the morning and pestered Lin Yuannan to go to the town with him.
In recent years, the town has developed rapidly, and the town that has opened a few small factories has gradually become rich, and the common people have more and more ways to support their families, so Lin Xiangrong is ready to go to the town to see if there is any unique way to make money.
You can't stay in the village all the time, and now it's a problem to even have enough to eat.
Lin Yuannan flicked her head with her fingers, and looked doting: "I didn't see that the weather was gloomy, it looked like it was going to rain, what are you going to do?" Go play with your brother, he's on vacation today. β
This year is also very dry, there are not a few rains in the summer, the ground is cracked, the crops are about to fail again, and the black clouds in the distance seem to be about to rain, and the villagers gather together early in the morning to chat, all looking forward to the rain.
Besides, it's not easy to walk in the rain, and it takes a lot of time to come back to the town for a toss, in case the baby girl is really cold in the rain and has a fever again, Lin Yuannan feels that it is not worth it.
"Wait for Dad to come back and bring you candy to eat." Lin Yuannan squatted down as he spoke, grinned and showed a mouthful of slightly yellowed teeth, and pinched the little face of the baby girl with his hand: "Don't go with you, be good, listen to Dad." β
In the past few years, if it weren't for Lin Xiangrong looking for something to subsidize the family under the guidance of Guanyin from time to time, their family would have been hungry and not presentable.
The family values Lin Xiangrong more and more, and they will be so nervous that they can't do it if they get sick at all, for fear that the Fu Doll will not be able to afford to get sick and even consume the blessings.
"Okay." Lin Xiangrong lowered his head with a look of pity: "That dad has to come back early." β
[Pay attention to safety, if you encounter a mudslide like before, you must run quickly.] γ
Anyway, it looks like there's going to be a flood, right?
Lin Xiangrong thought carefully, his little brows furrowed, and he squatted at the door in a ball.
"What are you doing?"
Sanfu was carrying a wooden bucket to catch a few fish, and when he saw his sister counting ants, he leaned over and took a look: "Go catch fish with my brother?" β
"Good!"
Can't go to town and catch fish is good.
The two came all the way to the river, put the wooden barrel aside, Sanfu rolled up his trouser legs, and slowly went down the river to the place near the center of the river to touch the fish.
The river is not very deep, the fish are swinging their tails everywhere, and there are many people in this river who are going to buy fish or eat them for themselves, and a few little children are standing by the river and peeing in it.
Lin Xiangrong sat on the shore guarding the bucket, braided a grasshopper in his hand, and looked up at Sanfu from time to time.
"Sanfu!" Not far away, a boy who was also touching a fish shouted, "How many fish have you touched?" β
"I just came, and I didn't touch one." Sanfu didn't raise his head and replied loudly, he turned his head to look at his sister who was so bored that he threw stones into the river behind him, and reminded: "Xiangrong, don't go into the water, this water is too strong, be careful to wash it away for you." β
"Got it." Lin Xiangrong puffed out his cheeks, put his hands on his waist, and shouted with full anger: "Don't always remind me!" β
She's not stupid, so she won't go into the water.
After a while, Sanfu touched a big fish, he walked out of the water, threw the fish into the bucket, and poured a little water into it by the way, so that the fish would not die before returning home.
One fish is probably not enough to eat at home, so I have to touch one more fish to come back.
But it was too boring.
Sanfu frowned, panting heavily, and asked Lin Xiangrong to sit under the tree on the side and cool off.
"I'm fine, brother."
Although it wasn't very comfortable on this day, it was okay and didn't get in the way.
It's just that Lin Xiangrong always feels that he has forgotten something.

Untilβ
"Brother Xiao, you wait for dreams." A milky sound sounded.
This voice attracted Lin Xiangrong's attention, and she looked over.
Is it Liu Meng and a strange boy?
Liu Meng, who was dressed in gray and half-worn clothes, shouted to the boy in front of him: "I can help you catch fish!" β
"No, thank you for your kindness." Lu Xiao refused coldly, he just wanted to wash his clothes, catch a fish and go back to eat by the way, but he was inexplicably entangled by Liu Meng, not only asked a lot of questions, but even went to his house to help with housework.
There is a problem.
Inexplicably dedicated, as if it was profitable on his own.
The gaze that fell on his body was full of greed and aggression, which made Lu Xiao feel uncomfortable, and he just wanted to leave Liu Meng quickly, he said coldly: "You are too young to go into the water to catch fish, go home early." β
"You..."
What's the matter with this man?
Turning a blind eye to her overtures, does he know who he is?
She's a lucky star!
If it weren't for her, the old Liu family would have starved to death in the past few years.
Her name as a lucky star is known to the whole village, and a lot of people want to approach her to get a little blessing.
If it weren't for the fact that this person was her sweetheart's sworn enemy, if she could leave a good impression in advance and pave the way for the future, she wouldn't have tried to please Lu Xiao!
What to pretend, I can't afford to eat, and I still pretend.
Liu dreamed that he couldn't please him, so he turned his head and went home, looking displeased.
What a disappointment.
Lu Xiao walked to the river, put down the wooden basin, filled the basin with water, wet his clothes and put them on the washboard.
Lu Xiao washed clothes for the first time, and he didn't know where to rub them first, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
"Wash the sleeves first, then slowly rub the middle of the clothes, and finally the laundry pendulum is fine." Lin Xiangrong, who was sitting not far away, pursed her lips and smiled, revealing a pair of dimples, her voice was lively and cute: "Brother, you want to rub one place at a time, if you wash it together, you can't wash it clean." β
Lu Xiao turned his clothes over, rubbed his sleeves clumsily, didn't know where to rub them in a hurry, and splashed all over the water, which directly amused Lin Xiangrong.
"My brother is so stupid."
Lin Xiangrong got up, walked over and pushed Lu Xiao away, squatted down and helped him rub his clothes with his chubby little hands, and said while rubbing: "If you want to do this, don't turn it over and wash it, it'll be washed little by little." β
"Thank you." Lu Xiao pursed his lips, feeling that he was not as good as a child.
The child helped, always thank you, Lu Xiao habitually took it into his pocket, touched the emptiness, his expression instantly became cold, and his expression stiffened.
Once upon a time, he could feel candy in his pocket at any time.
When they were kicked out, the man robbed him and his mother of all their money, salutes, and belongings, and he did not allow them to take anything with them.
Not even the money for their lives.
If Lu Xiao hadn't wisely left a little money outside in advance, he and Ruan Qing would have starved to death.
"That..."Lu Xiao had never been so embarrassed.
He was very restrained for a moment.
"Huh?" Lin Xiangrong looked at him innocently: "What's wrong?"
"It's fine." Lu Xiao said.
I'll catch two more fish and send them to her.
Liu Meng didn't take a few steps before he heard Lin Xiangrong's voice, turned back and hid to the side to watch, hearing the conversation between the two, his hands gradually clenched, and his eyes stared at the two people who were washing clothes together.
Is it that as long as Lin Xiangrong dies, those fortunes and opportunities are all his own?
Is this the only way that she can become a lucky star in the eyes of everyone?
With a gentle push, a four-year-old child will be swept away when he goes down the river.
Just a gentle push.
"I want to be there."
As soon as Liu Meng took a step, a voice sounded, interrupting Liu Meng's train of thought.
"I'm ready to go home." Sanfu came up from the river, carrying a big fat fish in his hand, he shouted, but saw his sister squatting with a boy to wash clothes, and a few steps away stood the legendary lucky star of Liu Laoer's house.
However, what is this lucky star reaching out for?
It can't be trying to push his sister into the water, right?
