my daughter my hometown

Chapter 16 The Well
The well in the village is not in the center of the village, but in the north of the village, behind it is the village ancestral hall.Some distance from Su Wu's house.

In recent years, the population of Su Wu's family has been in disrepair for a long time, and they have long since lost their buckets.Su Xue's house does exist, but it was pecked into a big hole by the restless rice ball earlier, so it can no longer be used.

Fortunately, Aunt Ma was careful, and in the middle of the night last night, she dug out her bucket from the warehouse and washed it clean, waiting for Su Wu to use it.

Aunt Ma felt overwhelmed.

"The pair of water buckets made by the old man are really good. After being stored for so long, they are still smooth and shiny, without even a bug eye."

Aunt Ma is also Su Hai's mother, but her surname is not Ma.The reason why she is called Aunt Ma is because her husband Su Jianguo has three eyes.

Lord Ma has three eyes, everyone has heard of it.

Su Jianguo, also known as Su Hai's father, is a hand-carpenter with extraordinary craftsmanship.

Almost all the large and small furniture and craft decorations in the village are made by him.Beautiful form, strong and durable.

As for his third eye, of course it was not born, and it was also related to the wildfire more than ten years ago.

When fighting the fire, Su Jianguo got a deep scar on his forehead by something, and the scar couldn't go away after healed. At first glance, it looked like an eye.

Su Wu complimented, "Of course Uncle Ma's craftsmanship is worth mentioning."

Aunt Ma was dissatisfied, and complained: "Although the bucket is good, I just don't know when your brother will be able to use it."

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Su Wu said happily, "Wait for the road outside to be repaired. Once the road is easy to walk, the fate of Heizi will not be far away."

Aunt Ma's face softened slightly.

Before that, she arranged several blind dates for Su Hai. At first, Su Hai felt that he was still young and wanted to play for a few more years.Secondly, the girls feel that Yangxin Valley is too remote and the road is difficult to walk.

Blind dates end in failure every time.

Su Xue, who just woke up, made fun of her.

"Brother, can you do it, do you want me to help carry water?"

Su Wu glared at her feigning anger.

"I want your little girl to help me? Are you kidding me? Brother, when I carried water for the first time, you couldn't stand still."

Su Wu said so, but Su Xue is not young anymore.The sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl is slim and tall, nearly 1.8 meters long.

"That's fine." Su Xue nodded, and went back to her boudoir to take out the rice balls she was hiding inside. "With the rice balls, even if you wake up at night, it shouldn't be too noisy. Go early and come back early."

Su Wu nodded, looked towards the room he lived in, and went out with the bucket.

Farmers go to bed early and get up early.

Su Wu walked all the way and met many villagers who were already active.One by one haha ​​greeted him and said auspicious words in their mouths.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Su Wu happily responds.

"Old third uncle, you are really strong when you lift the stone lock. This is your little grandson? He looks really strong, how many catties can he lift?"

"His aunt, what is my sister's plan, get up or practice her voice? The child is still young, so it would be better if he was older."

……

Before long, he came to the only well in the village.

There is an ordinary well in front of me, neither golden light nor auspicious clouds surround it.Surrounded by a half-meter-high stone fence, the concrete floor is paved inside, and it has been polished smooth by people who have been coming and going all year round.

The well is not big, the diameter of the wellhead is about four or five meters wide.The depth is not too deep, about five meters, and the fine white sand at the bottom of the well can be seen at a glance.It is hard to believe that this is a well that can provide drinking water for a village of thousands of people.

It's actually quite normal.

Yangxin Valley is located in the south, surrounded by deep mountains and old forests, with extremely rich water resources.Even if you dig a hole half a meter deep in the ground, you can get clear and sweet groundwater within half an hour.

Su Wu glanced casually.

The well water is still as clear as in memory.Looking at it makes people feel that the heart is also clear.

Because of Aunt Ma's reminder last night, no one else picked or pumped water at this time.After the overflow of several springs at the bottom of the well overnight, the water was already full and flowed out from the small opening on the wall of the well.

However, this is not the middle or end of the year, and the village has not yet organized villagers to clean the walls of the well twice a year.A lot of moss has grown on the water pipes along the edge of the well and in the wells of various houses, and they look a little dirty.

It looks dirty, but the water is actually very clean.If it weren't for the wildfire more than ten years ago, Yangxin Valley would be known as the hometown of longevity.

Aunt Ma's bucket was washed clean, Su Wu bent down to fetch two buckets of water, and walked back dumbfoundedly.

The moment he walked out of the range of the well, there was a hum of a motor.That's the water pumps in the surrounding yards starting up.

Su Wu turned his head subconsciously, only to see that the water surface was rippling, but there was no sign of falling.

Shui picked it back home, so Su Wu didn't need to do it anymore, Su Xue and Aunt Ma helped to boil the fire.

Part of the boiled water was used for cooking and formulating milk powder. After Su Wan woke up and drank milk, even just one sip would be considered finished drinking well water.

Another part of the water will be used to bathe the little girl and burn incense.Of course, incense is not at home, but at the ancestral hall.

"It's crowded here, we're busy in the kitchen, Xiao Wu, go and see the kids."

Aunt Ma drove Su Wu, who was clumsy and unable to help, out of the kitchen.

There are many things in the kitchen.If you want to go to the ancestral ancestral hall to give your child a genealogy, of course you can't go empty-handed. You have to prepare paper treasure candles and three sacrifices.

These were also prepared by Aunt Ma.

Su Wu admired it from the bottom of his heart.

The paper treasure candle incense in front is okay to say, almost every family has it.He really didn't know how the pig-headed livestock in the back got here, whether they were bought out or killed overnight.

Su Wu shook his head, turned around and entered his room.

Looking up at the bed, I was a little dumbfounded.

Su Wan had already woken up once, but now she fell asleep again.I saw her eyes closed, sleeping soundly.The upper body was still lying on the edge of the bed, but the lower body was already standing on the ground.

Su Wu shook his head, so he could fall asleep, but he didn't know who this girl looked like.

Even in her dream, one of Su Wan's small hands was still tightly hugging Fantuan's neck, and the other hand was holding a toy bell, probably stuffed into her hand by her aunt.

Fan Tuan was hugged so much that he doubted Yan Sheng, wanted to struggle but didn't dare to break free, for fear of hurting Su Wan.One wing was quite responsible, it used it as a quilt and covered Su Wan tightly.

Seeing Su Wu coming in, Fantuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly retracted his wings.It barked a few times anxiously, then closed its eyes and pretended to sleep.

Shit shoveler, hurry up and get rid of your little beast, Ben Dayan is still sleeping.

The rice ball is a domesticated wild goose. When Su Xue is at home, it can sleep until it wakes up naturally. There is no need to worry about the late bird not getting worms.

Su Wu understood, and his teeth itch with anger.If it weren't for what it did just now, it must be thrown out of the house.
