Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 36 The river dries up
  "That's right, if you want to eat ice cream, go queue up. Why are you here to join the queue? How old are you and do you have any qualities?"

Those at the front of the line also echoed, looking disdainfully at Li Xiufen up and down.

Li Xiufen had never been wronged like this at home, and her eyes immediately turned red.

After all, she was thin-skinned and not as tough as her mother. She almost couldn't help but leave after being pointed at and said a few words.

But looking at the white, crystal clear ice cream, she was so greedy that she couldn't bear to leave.

In the end, I reluctantly went to line up.

But in the end, Li Xiufen failed to buy ice cream.

The long queue was only halfway through, and the ice cream was sold out.

Jiang Wei packed up the freezer, pulled Jiang Xiaoxiao and turned around to leave, ignoring the three of them.

Li Xiufen was angry and angry. Not only did she not eat the ice cream she longed for, but she also made such a big fool of herself in front of everyone. She immediately pulled Old Lady Li and cried: "Mom, look at her, she doesn't even give me one!"

This time, even Mrs. Zhu was dissatisfied: "That's right! Mom, even if we separate our families, we still know each other. She would rather sell this ice cream to others than leave any of it to us!"

Old Mrs. Li's old face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She looked at the mother and daughter's walking away, and gritted her teeth bitterly: "Bah! You rotten loser! What a bastard! What a piece of ice cream!"

She cursed a few times, degrading Jiang and her daughter to the point of being worthless, and then went to coax Li Xiufen: "Xiufen, be good, we won't eat her ice cream! We won't eat the food made by the money-loser! "

After some hard talk, Li Xiufen was coaxed.

……

The mother and daughter did not deliberately conceal the matter of selling ice cream, and word soon spread to the village.

"What? You said the five-penny ice cream in town was sold by Jiang's!?"

"No! I saw it with my own eyes today. The little girl of the Li family was clamoring for food and almost started a fight with someone on the street!"

The woman had an exaggerated expression and recounted what she saw on the street today with added detail.

Several women shook their heads when they heard this: "Hey, this old Li family is so outrageous. My daughter is about to get married, and they still make such a big joke on the street!"

"Even so, I don't know what the young master of the Huang family has to say about how he could fall in love with a girl like Li Xiufen who is not stingy!"

Several people shook their heads and sighed, but some people still clung to Jiang Wei selling ice cream: "According to what you said, Jiang Wei must have made a lot of money selling ice cream, right? Five cents each, nothing compared to that. Mung bean porridge and sour plum soup are both expensive!”

"They must have made a lot of money! Didn't you see how many people lined up in front of their stall? When they left after selling out, most of the people still hadn't bought anything!" The woman then described what she saw today. Scenes.

"Hey, how delicious is this ice cream? How come so many people are willing to spend five cents to buy it?" Someone said jealously, "Five cents can buy five eggs!"

"That's right!" Someone nodded in agreement, "Aunt Wang also told people everywhere that she was kept by a wild man outside. Look, she is making money based on her skills!"

The topic circled around and returned to the matter a few days ago when Aunt Wang falsely accused Mrs. Jiang of hooking up with a wild man.

The women who listened to Aunt Wang's words and started mocking Jiang Wei looked a little embarrassed at this time and did not dare to speak any more.

Several women were carrying buckets and talking as they walked towards the river.

However, when they arrived at the river and saw the dry river bed, the voices of several people suddenly fell silent.

……

Jiang Xiaoxiao heard the sound of gongs and drums in the village after she went home with her mother to have dinner. She looked out the window and saw that Li was leading a group of people to gather at the village ancestral hall.

"What big thing happened?" Jiang Wei also looked out.

Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned and said nothing, but looked up at the clear, cloudless sky.

According to the plot development in the novel, the drought should start now...

The mother and daughter didn't waste any time. They gathered the dishes and gathered in front of the ancestral hall.

Li Zheng stood in front of the ancestral hall and said with a serious face: "...I believe everyone already knows that the river in our village has dried up."

"What can we do?!"

When everyone heard this, they became anxious.

"There's no water in the river, what will happen to the crops in our fields? It's almost August now, and the rice is about to ear. If the water goes out, the rice in the fields will not survive!"

"Hey, let alone the crops in the fields, if this continues, the water we drink will become a problem in the future!"

"Oh my God! Please let it rain quickly!"

When everyone was complaining, Li Zheng spoke again: "Everyone, be quiet! There is no water in the river now. Only two wells in the village still have some water. Let's save some water. Maybe we can survive this dry season with the water in the wells."

There are two wells in the village, one is in the ancestral hall and the other is in Li Zheng's home.

The well in the ancestral hall is public, and everyone can come to fetch water, but if there are too many people, it is inevitable to queue up, and the queue will last all day.

Everyone was a little unhappy.

Li Zheng could only say: "The well in my house is also provided to everyone for free. If there is no water to drink at home, you can come to my house to fetch water."

"By the way, didn't I remember that Jiang's house also had a well?" Someone saw Jiang's mother and daughter standing outside and immediately made up their mind.

Following the man's words, everyone looked at the mother and daughter.

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned to look at the speaker, who was Zhao Lai Lai, a well-known ruffian in the village.

He looked at Jiang Wei with narrowed eyes, and asked frivolously: "Hey, let me tell you, Mrs. Jiang, can I go to your house to fetch water from now on?"

Jiang Wei glanced at him and said nothing.

However, Zhao Lailai became even more enthusiastic: "Hey, they are all from the countryside, don't you disagree?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Wei finally spoke, staring at Rascal Zhao with a pair of sharp eyes, "My daughter and I are the only two people at home. What's the purpose of you, a grown man, coming to my widow's house to fetch water? Are you afraid? My reputation isn’t bad enough, right?”

"me……"

Being poked into his mind, Rascal Zhao immediately wanted to defend himself, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Zheng interrupted him: "Okay, stop talking! It's not easy for Mrs. Jiang to raise a child alone. The two wells in the village are enough for everyone." Use it, don’t bother others all the time.”

When Li Zheng spoke, Zhao Lailai shut up angrily, and everyone also looked away.

In fact, Zhao Baitai didn't mention it, and no one thought about going to Jiang's house to fetch water.

After all, Jiang and his daughter lived at the end of the village, far away from the villagers. Since there was already an ancestral hall and Li Zheng's well available, they didn't have to go all the way to fetch water from Jiang's house.
