fisherwoman

Chapter 9

Three days passed quickly!

On the morning of the fourth day, Lin Xueman got up early, ready to light a fire and cook.

The first night, Yang asked her to bring back some brown rice and half a small bag of cornmeal, which together weighed about ten catties, and specially gave her two pumpkins to cook at home.

Even if you drink porridge every day, these can last for about ten days. Is it possible to go to the old house to get them after eating?Or is this the ration of the family?

Lin Xueman was naturally not ashamed to ask.

In the past few days, the cold-blooded man has not come back. If there is a man in the family to help, it will not be interrupted, but in their situation, it is better not to see him.

Solve food and clothing first!

The earth turns without anyone, and the family lives without a man!

She picked up the pole, picked up the bucket, and went out of the house.

Longtan Village is a fishing village not far from the sea. It is reasonable to say that the ground water will not be very sweet, but Longtan Village is just the opposite. The well water here is not only clear, but also has a sweet smell. The spring water brought down from the mountain is collected, so the water quality is very good.

This well is in an open space not far behind her house, a distance of more than ten meters.

When Lin Xueman walked to the well, no one had come to fetch water. The edge of the well was built with four square stones, and there was a thin layer of ice on it. It seemed that fetching water was also a dangerous job.

She used the iron hook on the shoulder pole to hook the handle on the bucket, and cautiously and slowly stretched it into the well. Her nervous face was reflected on the clear water, and she tilted the bucket, and the bucket gradually filled in. There was a small half bucket of water, she gritted her teeth and pulled the small half bucket of water up.

Sweat broke out on his forehead, probably from nervousness.

When she slowly lowered the other bucket, she unexpectedly found the shadow of a strange man swaying on the surface of the water, and then two powerful hands grabbed the pole in her hand.

She was startled.

"Let me come!" An unusually warm voice sounded beside my ear.

Turning to look, it turned out to be a young man in a blue gown, with crooked eyes and a smile, clearly a handsome young man.

"Thank you!" Lin Xueman let go of her hand subconsciously, allowing him to bring up the bucket of water, a bucket full of water.

He looked at the bucket she had dragged up, smiled, and sent that bucket of water to the well again, and brought up another bucket of water, "I'll send it to Miss Xiao's home."

"How can this be done? No need, I'll do it myself." Lin Xueman hurriedly stopped him. There were so many people in the village, and if others saw him, he might not be able to explain clearly again.

Just now he called her Mrs. Xiao, did he know her?

Lin Xueman was at a loss.

"Miss Xiao, you are welcome. Xu Yuanqi is Mrs. Xiao's colleague. When I got up to study in the morning, there was something I didn't understand, so I came here to ask Mrs. Xiao for advice. I happened to meet Mrs. Xiao fetching water, so I just dropped by to help Mrs. Xiao take it home. .” Xu Yuanqi sighed and hurriedly explained.

That day at Li Chang's house, he met Lin Xueman face to face, and knew that she was the newly married daughter-in-law of Mrs. Xiao's family, but he didn't go up to meet Lin Xueman at that time.

"So it's Mrs. Xu, thank you very much." Lin Xueman felt relieved, it turned out to be the father-in-law's colleague, no wonder he was so gentle and refined!

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Xu Yuanqi smiled slightly, and lifted the bucket effortlessly.

Lin Xueman picked up the pole and followed behind him.

Fortunately, it was close to home, and Xu Yuanqi knew it, so he put the bucket at the gate.

"Thank you Mrs. Xu." Lin Xueman felt a little sorry to see him panting.

Xu Yuanqi didn't speak, just smiled, and went to the old house unhurriedly.

Lin Xueman wobbled the bucket into the house, poured it into the water tank, and started to make breakfast for herself.

She added two ladles of water to the pot and prepared to cook some brown rice porridge. When she was holding firewood in the yard, she heard her father-in-law laughing loudly from the next door. It seemed that Xu Yuanqi was her father-in-law's year-end friend.

Unexpectedly, my father-in-law is a scholar, and there are two sons in the family who are true fishermen. The other one seems to be doing nothing. He has a job as a maritime patrol and doesn’t know what to do outside. Anyway, none of them inherit the mantle. It’s incredible. .

She tapped the pitted ground with a fire stick, looked at the dancing flames in the stove, and thought wildly.
