What a shame.

The image of her in Su Ling'er's father's mind has always been gentle and pleasant, dignified and pure.

Alas, this time it was a mess.

The good image she had painstakingly maintained in her husband's heart disappeared.

Alas, does she count as capsizing the boat in the gutter and destroying her own image?

Lin Cuiping was secretly annoyed, she didn't know that she filled two extra bowls of soup.

Leading to the later result is.

Su Ling'er and her father, Su Dazhuang, drank the soup that night and their bellies were plump, and they had to show that the soup was delicious and that they couldn't get enough of it.

As the night rose brightly, the crow squatted on an unknown treetop and sang its sorrow, and the whole small mountain village was surrounded by night.

Su Ling'er, who was chubby from drinking, tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

Her fingers inadvertently touched the obsidian on her chest, the cold and warm touch lingered between her slender fingers, and she gently squeezed the obsidian in her hand.

Su Linger's expression was in a trance for a moment, and a man's resolute and handsome face appeared in front of her eyes.

It makes people feel emotional.

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

But thinking about Leng Yi's leaving without saying goodbye, Su Ling'er felt extremely irritated.

They've been together for so long, so they're still friends, right?

Shouldn't you say hello when you leave?
Although I told her father.

But shouldn't there be even a word of farewell between them?

I have to say that people in this dynasty are really rude.

Su Linger thought bitterly.

Will she meet Brother Yi again next time?

Also pretend to be a stranger.

Or pretend to be just acquainted.

It's downright boring.

"Oh, I don't want to, go to bed quickly, tomorrow will be another beautiful day."

Su Ling'er pulled up the quilt, covered her head tightly, and decided not to think about it so much.

Anyway, wake up tomorrow is a good day.

The sun rose as usual, and her day went on as usual.

It just... seems a little boring.

But that's okay.

Brother Yi didn't appear before.

She hasn't lived a carefree life.

The next day, when Su Linger woke up, the sky was already bright.

After a quick wash, and eating the porridge left for her by her mother Lin Cuiping, she decided to visit the waterwheel she had built for her mother on her birthday.

How's it going these days?
The air in the mountains is fresh, and Su Linger breathed the fresh air with the smell of earth, and walked to the stream at the entrance of the village in a few steps.

Is it crowded there so lively? Most of the women in the village gather at the waterwheel and chatter about what?
"Did something happen?"

Su Ling'er was puzzled in her heart, and walked towards the waterwheel in three steps and two steps in parallel.

"Ling'er, are you here?"

The aunt of the Li family was the first to see Su Ling'er, put down the millet she was holding, and greeted her affectionately.

"Well, auntie, I just came here, what are you doing around here?"

Aunt Li's arm tightly held her little hand, Su Ling'er was not used to this kind of enthusiasm.

Obviously saying hello is fine.

Why do you need to make it so hot?

"We are here to pound rice, because there are many people who come here in the morning, and there is a queue here."

"Pound rice?"

Su Ling'er looked up, and there were bustling women standing in the village. Seeing Su Ling'er's gaze on them, they all turned their heads and nodded to Su Ling'er as a greeting.

And she, Lin Cuiping, was standing beside the waterwheel with a smile, sweating profusely when she was the most tired, helping the women in the village pour millet into the stone mill to pound rice, and soybeans into the stone mill to grind them into oars, with a tireless expression. look.

What surprised Su Linger the most was that her father, Su Dazhuang, was also standing there, watching Lin Cuiping hold the things that Lin Cuiping couldn't lift, and then brought the polished things to the women in the village.

The attitude of a little servant.

"Oh, Ling'er! Why do you think your cousin is so talented? I installed such a water wheel for your family. It can not only pound rice, but also grind flour and soybeans. It saves time and effort. The key is, Don’t need donkeys anymore? No, every household in our village comes here to pound rice and grind noodles.”

The aunt of the Li family continued to chatter in front of Su Ling'er, and she did not hide her envy in her words.

Why doesn't their family have such relatives?
Otherwise, you will make a lot of money.

They went to Su Linger's house to pound rice and grind noodles, and they pounded rice three times for a pound of rice, or they ground soybeans three times for a pound of rice.

Basically, I used other people's tools for nothing to pound rice for myself.

In the eyes of the villagers, this price couldn't be more reasonable.It's almost like giving it away for nothing.

If it is sent to those millers who pound rice, it will cost two catties of rice for one pound, and the price is ridiculously expensive.

That's why the women in the village put their own stones under the eaves and pounded rice with dry thick sticks.

This kind of smashing method not only wastes time and energy, but the dust splashed around the smashed millet will stick to the sweaty skin, making it very itchy.

Every time rice is pounded, the body must be carefully washed with saponins to wash off the dust.

I have to say that pounding rice is really hard work.

Now that there is a convenient and simple rice pounder, the women in the village seem to be liberated.

Get up early every day and line up to bring the rice to be pounded.

If the time is not busy, just wait here, and it will be done in a short time.

Time is in a hurry, and those who are in a hurry to work in the field put their things here, and Lin Cuiping will fix them for them, and just come and pick them up when work is over.

It can be said that I can't rest assured anymore.

If only her house had such a waterwheel.

Why do people from the village go to her house to pound rice and grind noodles?She wouldn't be as benevolent as Su Ling'er's family, and she would have to lose a catty of rice for wages at least once.

Otherwise, it will be a big loss.

"Well, this waterwheel is really convenient."

Su Ling'er suddenly heard Li's aunt mention her cousin.

She was stunned for a moment.

It just occurred to me that Aunt Li's was talking about Brother Yi, and she thought back then that she had painstakingly planned a birthday party.

The purpose is to allow Brother Yi to walk into the sight of the villagers normally.

It turned out to be a good thing, people were in the sight of the walking villagers.

In just a short time, Brother Yi disappeared from people's sight alone.

Not even a farewell word.

She didn't know how her father explained to the villagers that Brother Yi had disappeared.

But since the villagers didn't ask.

That means her father has settled the matter of brother Yi's sudden disappearance.

"Aunt Li's family has come to your house to pound rice!"

Just when Aunt Li was about to say something, Lin Cuiping's voice sounded, and Su Dazhuang, who was standing beside Lin Cuiping, looked at her at the same time.

The eyes of the two naturally saw their precious daughter.
