He Tiantian has never carried water. Even when she needs to work in the mission world, she still has internal strength to protect her body.
But this time, she had nothing.
What he was wearing was too cruel.
In modern times, even if she is not a pampered child of her parents, she has never really suffered.
She suffered more from cold violence.
After she was bound to the system, she made contributions to the country. Under the protection of the country's father, her life became more comfortable and comfortable.
To put it bluntly, for He Tiantian in reality, cooking is a kind of pastime and a kind of enjoyment.
However, this time’s remedial mission deserves to be a “challenge”.
Just doing this kind of work is enough to make He Tiantian suffer a lot.
The hard pole rested on the soft shoulders, and the two wooden barrels were already heavy.
When it was filled with water again, He Tiantian almost didn't pick it up.
Her back molar was pinched, so she tried her best to suck the milk and managed to stand up.
Take two steps, swaying and stumbling.
The big well in the middle of the village is more than a thousand meters away from Mrs. Qiu's home.
He Tiantian felt that it was difficult for her to walk even one meter.
However, the experience of many missions has made He Tiantian tenacious and she is particularly unwilling to admit defeat.
【Everyone else can do it, so can I!】
He Tiantian gritted her teeth, thinking about the essentials of picking things in her mind, and tried to control her body.
Slowly, she really found the trick.
Her shoulders still hurt, and her whole body was still as tired as if she had walked a huge mountain, but at least she no longer staggered or stumbled.
The body may still be a little shaky, but it is much better than at the beginning.
The water in the two wooden barrels was not sprinkled, and only half of it was left.
He Tiantian:......
A small amount is not bad, at least she has learned how to carry water.
Enduring the pain in her shoulder, He Tiantian insisted on walking to Mrs. Qiu's house.
It seemed like I had traveled eighteen thousand miles and finally saw the small courtyard where I stayed for one night.
Hold on! Hold on!
It’s just over a hundred meters away. He Tiantian, hold on!
He Tiantian tried her best to encourage herself.
She didn't forget to pay attention to her steps. She didn't want another failure at the last minute!
He Tiantian thought she had done a good job.
But in the eyes of those who have been doing farm work for a long time, it is so awkward that it is almost funny.
"Huh? Is this the girl who came to find her bride?"
"I'm so skinny, I look like a little chicken, and I don't look good at work!"
"...It's a good thing I didn't take him home. Otherwise, who would be willing to accept someone like this who can't even carry water?"
"That's right, this girl is pretty, but she's useless. She's worse than those female educated youths!"
Although it was early at this time, the brisk peasant women had already gotten up.
Those who carry water carry water, those who cut pig grass cut pig grass, and cook and feed chickens...
The small mountain village seemed to be awakened instantly.
Smoke is already rising from some people's chimneys.
He Tiantian was often secretly observed along the way.
Pointing and pointing, there was a lot of discussion.
There are not many recreational activities in rural areas these days.
Even something as big as a fart can keep the villagers talking about it for days.
Suddenly, an eldest daughter of seventeen or eighteen years old comes to recognize her, which is much more exciting than the trivial matter where the host family lost a green onion and had three rounds of quarrels with the west family.
It was too late last night, and everyone was in awe of Mrs. Qiu, so they didn't dare to go and visit easily.
Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the day while I was working to take a good look at the little girl.
Unexpectedly, when I woke up in the morning, I saw such a "Western scene".
"Oh, I'm too thin and have no luck!"
"... She's so fair and good-looking, even prettier than any female educated youth!"
"What's the use of being beautiful? Can it be used as food or as drink? I tell you, brat, you should marry a wife who is lucky and can work!"
"Mom, but I just want to marry a good-looking one..."
Some villagers came to watch the fun.
The content of their discussions also began to become richer.
Without the blessing of internal strength, He Tiantian's six senses are naturally not so defiant.
He Tiantian could only hear the buzzing of those whispers hiding in the dark, but could not hear the specific content.
However, He Tiantian didn't care.
She never wants to live in other people's mouths.
Furthermore, even if someone makes a joke, it is normal.
She really didn't do a good job.
So, after finally getting to Mrs. Qiu's house, when He Tiantian saw Mrs. Qiu sitting in the yard cooking chicken food, her delicate but embarrassed little face was full of embarrassment.
Mrs. Qiu felt He Tiantian's embarrassment, dropped her rice bowl, stood up, and came closer.
She looked down at less than half of the water left in the barrel, curled her lips, and said in disgust, "It's not bad, at least not all the water was spilled!"
"Hey, old lady, this is my first time carrying water, so I have no experience. But don't worry, I will work hard in the future!"
Mrs. Qiu still had a look of disgust on her face, "Forget it, never again. With your thin arms and legs, don't break my bucket!"
"Forget it, I'd better call Shuanzi next door."
The old lady is a standard person with a hard mouth and a soft heart.
He obviously felt sorry for He Tiantian and was worried that she would fall on him, but he still said something cold about it for his own bucket.
He Tiantian knows this kind of "duplicity" old man very well.
Not to mention her own experience in the mission world, in the first world, she and her liar parents dealt with all kinds of old people every day.
It can be said that He Tiantian is not too familiar with the thoughts of these old men and old ladies.
"Old lady, wouldn't it be nice to ask someone to help?"
He Tiantian didn't say anything more, but asked curiously.
The bolt from next door?
Who is it, a warm-hearted neighbor, a relative of the old lady, or someone who has been arranged by the village to take care of a martyr like Mrs. Qiu?!
When He Tiantian left Mrs. Qiu's house yesterday, she took a look at the neighbors around her.
The old lady lives at the end of the village, and her nearest neighbors are two households:
One is a house on the east side. It has a large yard with thatched yellow mud walls, and there seems to be a lot of people inside.
One is the house in front. You can only see the back wall. If you want to see the front entrance of the house, you need to go around to the street in front.
The back wall of this house is somewhat worn, and one section even collapsed in half.
The back wall was covered with weeds, as if no one lived there.
But, at night, light shines through the windows on the back wall.
"What's wrong? According to the seniority in the clan, Shuanzi is my great-nephew, and I don't let him work for free. Every month I 'exchange' him some cloth tickets, industrial tickets!"
Mrs. Qiu said angrily.
"Okay, don't waste time. Go call someone quickly. Just go to the house on the east side. Don't go wrong!"
He Tiantian pointed a finger at herself, "Shall I go?"
"If you don't go, are you going to let me go as an old woman?"
"Okay! Okay! I'll go!" Seeing the old lady's "arrogant" look, He Tiantian knew that the old lady really accepted her and regarded her as one of her own.
After pouring the water in the bucket into the water tank, He Tiantian put down the bucket and turned around and walked out of the yard.
After walking twenty or thirty meters, we reached the nearest house.
"Brother Shuanzi, is brother Shuanzi here?"
He Tiantian thought that Mrs. Qiu said that Shuanzi was her grandnephew, and he could also help the elderly with work, so he should be a young man.
She couldn't bear to call people by their first names, so she added "eldest brother".
"Who! Who is outside?"
A male voice shouted as he came out.
"My name is Banxia. I live at Grandma Qiu's house now. There is no water at home. Grandma Qiu asked me to ask you for a favor!"
In front of outsiders, He Tiantian didn't call her "old lady", but called Grandma Qiu.
This makes it more cordial.
"Oh, it turns out it's you!"
Contrary to what He Tiantian guessed, Shuanzi was not an honest and loyal young man.
He is in his thirties, carefree, and looks like a second-rate kid from the countryside...
