A few minutes before Qu Ning and his party came back, Fu Xuan and the others had already left.
Qu Ning directed Zhou Xie, who was carrying the 'results': "Take these to the kitchen and sort them and put them away. In addition, I just received a notice from the village chief that the water will be cut off today and the water will not come until eight o'clock in the evening."
Zhou Xie subconsciously replied: "What should I do if the water is stopped? I can't stop drinking water."
Qu Ning turned to look at Zhou Xie, suppressing a smile and asked, "Can you do it without drinking water for a day?"
"That's definitely not possible." Zhou Xiema Liu took the supplies into the kitchen and put them away. He stood on the steps and said, "How can a person do it without drinking water? He can't bear it."
Qu Ningren stood in the courtyard, looking up at Zhou Xie: "You know you can't bear it."
Zhou Xie:?
Qu Ning turned around and went to another room.
Zhou glanced sideways and said, if he remembered correctly, that house was originally a cattle pen and was later converted into a firewood shed. However, there was not much dry firewood in it, but a pile of miscellaneous firewood.
A few minutes later, Qu Ning came out.
She was carrying two plastic buckets of different sizes but stacked together, a shoulder pole, and a bunch of ropes.
At first glance, he looks like he is going to do something big.
Zhou Xie was not stupid and saw it clearly: "You are going to fetch water."
Qu Ning: "You have seen all this."
"..." Zhou Xie touched his forehead and ignored Qu Ning's teasing, but asked: "Where can I get water? Do you know of a place where I can get water?"
"I don't know. I have to ask the village chief first. There must be a reservoir and a well in this village. Otherwise, if the running water stops, what will everyone drink?"
With that said, Qu Ning threw the bucket in his hand to Zhou Xie: "Go on."
Zhou Xie caught it steadily: "Should I go too?"
Qu Ning couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "You are the only grown man in this family. Do you still need a weak little girl like me to do things like fetching water?"
Zhou Xie's mouth twitched.
He glanced at Qu Ning up and down: "Are you a weak woman?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Ning waved his hand and threw the pile of ropes at Zhou Xie, but Zhou Xie reacted quickly enough and dodged it.
Qu Ning stretched the pole in her hand again.
This action frightened Zhou Xie, and he quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, sister, I was wrong. If I fainted with your carrying pole, there would be no one to carry water for you, you know?"
Qu Ning stretched his outstretched hand back and smiled: "Check whether those two buckets are leaking. The light in the firewood house was too dark just now, so I couldn't see clearly. There are also ropes, please take a look.
If the knot is not strong, the rope will break during operation and the bucket will be lost."
Qu Ning explained it very carefully.
Although Zhou Xie likes to talk, he will still do it seriously as long as it is something Qu Ning tells him.
He carried the bucket to check, and as he walked he noticed a small tail following behind him.
Zhou turned around and found Suisui following him at some point.
"Why are you following me?" Zhou Xie put the bucket on the ground and turned around to get the rag.
He never said a word year after year, walking back and forth and following closely.
Zhou Xie squatted down and wiped the bucket clean with a rag. The old bucket had not been used for too long and was covered with dust. It was impossible to see any cracks with the naked eye.
After wiping it with a frown, he saw that both barrels were not broken. Zhou Xie grinned and was in a good mood.
"Uncle Zhou."
A shout came to my ears.
Zhou Xian frowned and turned to look at Suisui: "What are you doing?"
Suisui came over with a flattering look on his face and asked, "Uncle Zhou, are you and Qu Ning going out to fetch water later?"
In fact, Sui Sui heard the conversation between Qu Ning and Zhou Xie just now.
Zhou Xie replied: "Yes, the water supply has been cut off today, and there is no water in the water tank at home. If we don't go out to look for water, there will be no water to drink today."
The words fell.
Suisui lay on Zhou's back like an octopus: "Hehe~Uncle Zhou~"
Zhou Xie almost fell forward, but fortunately he held on to the bucket in his hand to steady himself. He turned around and cursed: "You brat, can you speak properly and stand still?"
Standing still every year, her little mouth is very sweet: "Uncle Zhou, thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Xie was still cursing a second ago.
The next second, Suisui's words coaxed his mouth into a frown.
He snorted softly: "Fortunately, it's not very hard. Who asked your mother to snatch me away? Since you have become a member of this family, you should do these trivial things."
[It’s so funny that Zhou Xie doesn’t seem to realize that Sui Sui has something to ask him for.]
[Sui Sui is like this, just like my son. Whenever I come to you for something, he will always try to please you, which makes you angry and funny. 】
[I guess Sui Sui wanted to go too, but he was too embarrassed to pester Qu Ning.]
Old fans of the show will understand Suisui's thoughts thoroughly.
I guessed it right.
Sui Sui came over and took the initiative to put his head against Zhou Xie's. He was so cute and obedient that even Zhou Xie couldn't fix it.
"What do you want to do, brat?" Zhou Xie then realized that the reason why this boy was close to him was not that simple.
Suisui said with a smile: "You and Qu Ning are going to fetch water, can you take me with you to Nirvana?"
Zhou Xie's mouth twitched: "That's it?"
Suisui muttered: "Qu Ning won't let me go."
Zhou Xie chuckled: "If you use this trick against me to pester Qu Ning, can she be soft-hearted? Can she not let you go?"
The old god Zai Sui sighed: "She doesn't want to do this."
Zhou Xie said: "You haven't even tried."
Suisui stamped his feet: "Oh, I know Qu Ning."
Zhou Xie laughed loudly, and Sui Sui quickly covered Zhou Xie's mouth, but his hands were too small to cover it, and he almost stuffed his whole hand into Zhou Xie's mouth.
Zhou Xie took away Suisui's hand and his expression became serious: "Okay, I'll take you with me."
Suisui danced for joy, her little mouth was so sweet: "Thank you, Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou is the best adult."
Zhou Xie's expression that had just turned serious was revealed in a second: "You brat, you are just like your mother."
As soon as these words came out.
Not only Sui Sui was stunned for a moment, Zhou Xie himself was also stunned for a moment.
"Fu Suiyan!"
Qu Ning's shout came from the door of the hall.
Suisui looked at Zhou Xie, then at Qu Ning, and then said to Zhou Xie: "Uncle Zhou, Qu Ning is looking for me, you must remember to call me when you leave."
Zhou Xie waved his hand: "Go ahead, go ahead."
After Sui Sui left, Zhou Xie raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Sui Sui walked up to Qu Ning with cheerful steps: "Here I come, Qu Ning~"
Qu Ning leaned against the door with her hands folded across her chest, looking at Fu Suiyan who was jumping up and down and said, "Just stay at home."
Suisui's cheerful pace suddenly turned a corner: "I'm leaving again, Qu Ning~"
Qu Ning cleared her throat: "Stop!"
Sui Sui stood in the same place, but the bright smile on his face had disappeared, and was replaced by a sad look.
He glanced at Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xie looked at Shang Suisui's gaze, shrugged his shoulders, looked helpless, and mouthed: There is nothing I can do.
