Zhao Changfu scratched his head and said, "We still have to collect water from the mountain spring. Why didn't I know?"
Mr. Zhao laughed and said, "You weren't born yet at that time."
"When your third uncle was four years old, the well was built in the village. From now on, every family that needs water will go to the well to get water."
"Later, when I got lucky, I could dig a well in my own yard, so no one would have to climb a mountain and wait for a long time for spring water."
There is a well in the Zhao family's yard, so there is no need to line up with the villagers to get water from the well.
The water used for domestic use is water from wells. If it is necessary to do laundry, the wives and girls go to the river to wash. There is more water and the washing is cleaner.
This is the first time the children have heard about this, and they are all thinking about finding a time to go to the mountain spring to see it.
While they were chatting, Zhao Laosan and Xu San came back.
Xu San was carrying a basket on his back, and Zhao Laosan was holding a fish basket in one hand, filled with fish.
Xu Si was not afraid of life. He mingled among the children of the Zhao family and listened to Zhao Lao San and Zhao Lao San talking about the mountain spring water. Now everyone was getting ready to go down the mountain, but they still had some unfinished ideas.
He is different from Xu San and Xu Sanniang. He has been in Lihua Village since he can remember. He has a greater sense of belonging to Lihua Village and is more interested in hearing the past events of Lihua Village.
"Let's go down the mountain first."
The way down the mountain went smoothly. Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao stood at the foot of the mountain and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the children had come down safely.
"Where did you hurt?"
Zhao Changfu took the initiative to stretch his arm in front of Mrs. Zhao, "I made a cut before, but it's healed now."
"Okay, okay, it'll be fine."
Mrs. Zhao said a few words of good news in succession. Zhao Changan ran down and only said that his brother had fallen down the slope and that he should go and save people.
Hurrying takes a long time with people
up the mountain.
Mrs. Zhao was very worried. She was also afraid that other children would also fall, and she was also worried that the children who fell would be injured. She was so anxious that she could not help but feel anxious.
Mrs. Zhao went to check on the other children, especially the three girls, looking around.
Zhao Laoer patted Xu San on the shoulder, "Let's go, I'll take you and Qian Erniu back."
Seeing that Zhao Laoer was about to pick up the two fish baskets again, Xu San quickly said, "The fish are for you to catch."
There were fish and shrimps in the two fish baskets, but not many this time, only half of the baskets.
"What did you do to us? You were injured. Go back and recuperate."
Xu San said: "I'm already healed, no need to make up for it."
Zhao Laoer poured the fish and shrimps in the two fish baskets together and said, "I'll catch them next time. You can take them back today and have a good meal."
Xu San wanted to refuse, but Qian Erniu pulled his sleeve.
This idiot, just let him take it.
The Zhao family is not short of this kind of food. The Xu family is so poor, but they are short of meat to eat, so why should they refuse.
After being interrupted, Xu San did not refuse.
Zhao Laoer took Xu Si and said, "Let's go."
I happened to pass by Qian Erniu's house when I was going to Xu's house.
Send Qian Erniu back first. When Qian Erniu arrived at the door, she didn't go in directly. She quietly stuck her head out and looked into the yard.
There was no one in the yard, so he waved goodbye to Zhao Laoer and Xu San, and quickly rushed back to his house.
The skirt was dirty and wet, and if a family member saw it, they would be scolded.
Xu San watched Qian Erniu jump into the yard. After waiting for a while to make sure she didn't hear any scolding, she left with peace of mind.
Zhao Laoer smiled, Xu San, this kid, is really attentive.
Xu Si muttered something, and Zhao Lao Er bent down slightly to hear it clearly.
"
Make fish soup, fish and shrimp porridge, sweet and sour fish, and pick some green onions. "
"Drink a handful of fish soup in the evening, and have fish and shrimp porridge tomorrow morning and noon."
The boy was already thinking about how to eat.
Zhao Laoer joked: "Xu Si knows how to cook?"
Xu Si puffed up his chest proudly, "I can already make fish soup."
Children of poor people have long been in charge of the family. Xu San has to work on the family land, and Xu Sanniang also has to work in the fields. She usually makes some embroidery at home and sells it for money.
There are only three people in the family. During the busy farming season, it is difficult to eat even if it is time to fool around. Xu Si started to cook like his mother and brother early.
"It's awesome, it's amazing!"
After being praised by Zhao Laoer, Xu Si became even more proud. He raised his chin and walked with high spirits.
Xu Sanniang was showing off her veil at home. When she heard the noise at the door, she saw Zhao Laoer coming back with his two children and hurriedly stepped forward to entertain the guests.
"Brother Zhao, come in and sit down quickly."
Zhao Laoer waved his hand, "Brother and sister, I won't sit down anymore. I have something to do at home."
After saying that, he put down the fish basket and said, "Xu San was injured a little today. Let's make these fish and shrimps to replenish his health."
"Xu San?!"
Xu Sanniang quickly went to see Xu San, "Where are you injured?"
Xu San smiled and said, "Mom, I'm fine. I'm already fine."
"I'll tell you later."
Xu Sanniang suppressed her anxiety, the guests were still there.
Zhao Laoer didn't stay long, put down the fish basket, touched Xu Si's head and left.
Xu San walked Zhao Laoer to the door of the courtyard, but as soon as he regained consciousness, his mother grabbed his arm.
"Let me see, mom, where are you injured?"
Xu San gave Xu Si a look. Xu Si understood and ran to close the yard.
I looked around to make sure no one was there.
Xu San took her mother and brother into the back room, and then told her what happened on the way up the mountain.
"Is it really a magical life-saving water?"
Xu Sanniang said in surprise.
Xu San nodded, "My leg hurt so much that my eyes went black, so I drank three or four sips and the pain stopped immediately."
"I already had a broken bone. Look at me now. I can jump and jump. It's not like a life-saving water from a fairy."
"You haven't seen Brother Changfu. The scratch took up half of his arm. Blood flowed all over the floor. After drinking a few water, the wound can't be seen now."
Xu Sikuang nodded and testified to his brother that he was also present.
Xu Sanniang believed it and sighed, "How should I repay this?"
"How much silver do we have?"
Xu San smiled and said: "Mom, if you really ask us to pay it back, we're afraid we won't be able to pay it back in our lifetime."
Xu Sanniang frowned and said, "Then I have to give it to someone else for such precious life-saving water."
Xu Si used a stool to look through the cabinet and took out a bag of tea.
"Brother Yang likes our tea, let's get it all for him."
"It tastes great when made into tea eggs and milk tea."
Xu Sanniang responded, "This is all old tea, and there are also newly picked teas that haven't been roasted yet, so I'll send them over too."
"I also have some eggs saved at home. I will use some of them to make tea eggs, and send the remaining fresh eggs together. Xiu Xiu cooks delicious food, and it will definitely taste better if she makes tea eggs."
Xu Sanniang rummaged through every cabinet, looking for anything she could give as a gift.
"When this batch of handkerchiefs is finished, I will make a screen and send it over."
Xu Sanniang's handkerchiefs can be sold for forty taels each, which is still a very low price. Double-sided embroidered handkerchiefs are extremely rare in Jiangcheng County, but they sell for seventy or eighty taels.
Twelve taels were also bought by a rich lady.
It takes four to five months to make just one handkerchief. It hurts the eyes at night and can only be made for a hundred days, but there is still farm work during the day.
Xu Sanniang had a cough and poor health, so she spent most of her money on medicine.
The medicine was expensive. Xu Sanniang felt sorry for the money and refused to buy the medicine. She coughed so much that she couldn't sleep at night. Later, Xu San found out and insisted on buying the medicine no matter what, or she would go on a hunger strike. Xu Sanniang had no choice but to take the medicine three times a day. .
