Chapter 134 Who does Jin Bao sleep with at night?
Mom and Dad are going too far! Jin Bao is still so young, and they actually found her a husband?
Su Xiaowu clenched his fists tightly, knowing that his parents were not good people.
Jinbao is so pitiful, she was married off when she was so young and didn't understand anything.
Thinking like this, he felt infinite sympathy for his sister, and all the previous complaints and jealousies about her were forgotten.
"The taro is already cold. Stop nagging and come over quickly to eat the taro." Su Changzhu said.
Su Xiaowu picked up the largest piece of taro in the bowl and handed it to his sister without thinking, "Here!"
Jin Bao was a little flattered, as the fifth brother didn't seem to hate him as much as he thought.
"Thank you, Pigeon..."
Su Xiaowu thought her voice was so cute, especially her "brother" voice, which she never tired of hearing.
When he was eating taro, he would turn his head and glance at his sister from time to time, thinking that the way she was eating was cute, like a little rabbit.
"Can Jin Bao bite it?" Su Changzhu couldn't help asking his granddaughter because he was worried that the steamed taro would not be soft enough.
Little Jinbao nodded obediently.
She didn't want to be picky about food, but there was no seasoning on the taro and it was very dry.
It was so dry that it was almost unpalatable.
Jinbao tried hard to finish one, but he couldn't help coughing after only two mouthfuls, "Ahem..."
"Oh, my baby, are you not used to eating?" Li Xiu'e hurriedly patted her granddaughter on the back.
Yao Hua guessed that the taro was too dry and Jin Bao had a small throat and could not eat it.
He hurriedly asked Grandma Jinbao: "Is there any water at home? Jinbao wants to drink water."
"Water? Yes, yes, I'm going to find water..."
Li Xiu'e handed the little girl in her arms to her grandfather, and hurried to the kitchen to find water, only to find that all the tanks of water were bottomed out.
There is no well in Qishui Village, so draft and water have to be carried down the mountain.
There is a river at the foot of the mountain. It is quite clear on sunny days, but becomes extremely turbid when it rains.
Most people have several large tanks at home, which are used not only for cooking and drinking water, but also for washing dishes and pots and bathing...
There were many Su family members, so they prepared four tanks. In the past, when Li Xiu'e was at home, at least one of the tanks must have been full of water, and it was impossible for all of it to bottom out.
"These guys are so lazy! They don't even carry water." Li Xiu'e was almost furious with her son and daughter-in-law.
The mountain road is rugged, and going down the mountain to fetch water in the middle of the night is a very dangerous thing even for villagers who live in the village all year round.
"Oh, what can we do now? Jinbao can't survive without water."
Li Xiu'e gritted her teeth and thought that her granddaughter should not be thirsty, so she decided to go down the mountain and bring up half a bucket of water.
She picked up a wooden bucket and just walked out of the kitchen when she heard a strange "gulu" sound not far away.
Feeling weird, Li Xiu'e went back to the kitchen to light the candle on the stove, and then slowly approached the direction of the sound by the candlelight.
"What... what is this?" Her eyes widened in shock, "Water?"
About one meter away from the kitchen, water kept rising from the ground, like a small fountain.
Li Xiu'e carefully put down the candle, half-crouched by the spring, held the water in both hands and lowered her head to take a sip, "It's so sweet."
Without thinking much, she hurried back to the kitchen to get a big bowl, filled it with water, and ran back to the south room immediately.
"Jin Bao drinks water," Li Xiu'e handed the water to her granddaughter to drink, "drink slowly, don't choke..."
Jinbao drank another sip after he was thirsty. He felt that the water was particularly delicious.
"Tiantian, the water... tastes good," the little girl said.
Su Xiaowu wondered: "Where is the sweetness in the water? It obviously has an earthy smell."
"It's really sweet. This is not river water." Li Xiu'e thought that her granddaughter must be a lucky star.
She wanted to drink water, and water came out of the ground for her to drink. It was so sweet and delicious.
"Old woman, what are you talking about?" Su Changzhu was also puzzled, "Our village can only drink water from the river at the foot of the mountain. What is in your bowl if it's not river water?"
"It's water coming out of the ground. Oh, you'll know if you go and take a look. Water keeps coming out."
Li Xiu'e fed Xiao Jinbao some water and led everyone towards the kitchen.
"That's it!" she said, pointing to the wet mud.
"There's nothing." Su Changzhu held up the kerosene lamp and illuminated it for a while.
"Huh? It's strange. It was still watery just now, why is it not watering now?"
Su Changzhu thought it was incredible that there was water on the ground, so he asked: "Old lady, are you dazzled?"
Su Xiaowu stepped on the ground a few times and deliberately jumped on it a few times, but nothing happened.
He questioned his grandma: "Grandma, could it be that you accidentally poured the water on the ground and lied to us about water coming from the ground?"
"Why did I lie to you?"
"The water is sweet, Jin Baoxin, grandma..."
Li Xiu'e hugged her little granddaughter and kissed her cheek, saying with emotion: "Jinbao is still the best and most considerate."
Yao Hua picked up a piece of wet soil with his fingers and rubbed it gently with his fingertips. "If Grandma Su is not dazzled, this is probably a spring. If you dig down, you might be able to dig a well."
"What? Well?"
After asking, Su Changzhu waved his hand first, "No way, our village has dug wells dozens of times, but no matter how hard we dig, there is not a drop of water. How is it possible that our family is so lucky that there is a spring in our house?"
Li Xiu'e remembered that the village chief hired professionals to dig a well the year before last. They dug dozens of meters deep but no water came out.
"Let's give it a try. If we can really dig a well, wouldn't it be a lot more convenient to fetch water in the future?"
After Yao Hua finished speaking, Su Xiaowu sneered: "To put it simply, who will dig it?"
"Jinbao's uncles and uncles..."
"The eldest uncle is too lazy to count on it, the second uncle is too busy and has no time, the fourth uncle has cut off contact with our family, and the younger uncle has no time to work in the breeding yard every day," Su Xiaowu shrugged, "So this matter is out of the question."
Yao Hua's eyes flashed with confidence, "I can make Uncle Su dig a well."
"Who? Uncle?" Su Xiaowu seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, "Let him dig a well, unless you are his wife... No, even the aunt cannot make the uncle dig a well."
The night in the mountains is cool.
Li Xiu'e was afraid that the children would catch cold, so she told them to talk about digging the well later, and asked them to go back to the house quickly to have dinner and then go to bed early.
There are two wooden beds in the house. The beds are very narrow, less than 1.3 meters, and can sleep up to two people on one end.
Su Changzhu asked Jinbao to sleep with her grandmother, and he would find some wheat straw to spread on the ground while he slept on the floor.
Jinbao shook his head, "Grandpa sleeps on the bed."
How could it be possible for grandpa to sleep on the floor? The dirty yellow mud floor is so uneven that it would be extremely uncomfortable for a young man to sleep for one night, not to mention that grandpa is so old. When he wakes up tomorrow morning, he will definitely have pain in his back, legs, and body.
"Oh, if I sleep on the bed, how will these two boys sleep? There aren't enough beds."
"Grandpa and grandma...sleep, Jinbao, and...Pigeon sleep."
It would be okay if Jin Bao and Xiao Wu sleep on one end and Hua Hua sleeps on the other end, but...
Li Xiu'e shook her head worriedly, "No, how can Xiaowu take care of you? Jinbao, you still have to sleep with grandma."
"Jinbao can..."
Yao Hua's ears were red, and she pursed her cherry-pink lips, "You can sleep with me."
