Chapter 9 Water Delivery
Chapter 9 Water Delivery
On a scorching summer day, in the midst of the sun, many people on the road were carrying farm tools and walking towards their homes. People they knew well walked together, discussing the farm work in the field, but their pace did not slow down.
"Brother Xi, bring water for your father?"
"Yes, Aunt Huang."
Lu Zhuxi wiped his sweaty forehead and answered the villagers' questions. He held a vegetable basket made of bamboo in his hand, which contained a large clay pot and several bowls, and walked towards his house. walking.
"What a sensible kid."
Aunt Huang passed by him, patted him on the head, praised him, smiled and left with her family.
"..."
Lu Zhuxi's face was wooden, and he was no stranger to being patted on the head, who would make others look down upon.
In the blink of an eye, he has been in this place for almost a month. During this month, he has slowly accepted the life here, and changed the modern habit of going to bed late and getting up early into a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Even doing those housework and so on, he is now quite proficient. You have to know where he has touched these things before. At most, after cleaning his room, there is nothing for him to do.
When he got here, he needed to do everything by himself, such as washing clothes, feeding chickens, feeding ducks, etc. He was a little shy and refused at first, but after a long time, he felt that it was nothing after getting used to it.
As for cooking, he doesn't know how to do it, so the work in the field and the cooking are handed over to the two fathers and two brothers, and he only needs to do some light work.
Like today, Lu Zhuxi saw that the weather was really hot, thinking that his father and two elder brothers in the field were working under the sun, and they would definitely be thirsty, so he just said "father" and walked to the field with water .
When Lu Zhuxi walked to his own field, he saw that his father and elder brother were doing things with a hoe. From time to time, they used the cloth towel around their necks to wipe off the hot sweat on their faces, and then continued to wave the hoe.
Lu Zhuxi felt hot even looking at it, so he said loudly, "Father, elder brother and second brother, stop and drink some water first."
As he spoke, he carried the basket and walked on the ridge near them, put down the basket, took out three bowls from it, poured water into the bowls, and waited for them to come and drink.
The three of them looked at Lu Zhuxi in unison, put down the hoes in their hands, wiped the hot sweat off their faces, and walked towards him. "Hey, here we come."
Lu Zhulin was the closest, walked over with a few strides, picked up a bowl of water and drank it, his face was flushed by the sun, even if the hot sweat was wiped off, it didn't take long for it to come out again.
"It's so comfortable." After drinking the water in one gulp, he handed the bowl to Lu Zhuxi, "Pour another bowl for elder brother."
"Okay." Lu Zhuxi took the bowl and poured it for him.
After Lu Zhulin finished drinking the water, Lu's father and second brother Lu Zhuyi also went forward to pick up bowls to drink water. Both of them were sweating on their faces. As soon as they got close, Lu Zhuxi could easily feel the heat on their bodies. .
Lu Zhuxi got up very considerately, picked up the cloth towel on his body, and wiped the sweat from his face by taking advantage of the height of the field ridge, pursed his lips, "Father, it's too hot today, let's go back first , it's almost time for lunch,"
Lu Zhuxi thinks this is ancient times, he can accept everything, but the most uncomfortable thing is that there is no air conditioner, which can kill people in summer.
This man, who has been under the sun all the time, may suffer from heat stroke at some point.
Father Lu looked at his youngest son's face flushed from the sun, then looked at the sun, and nodded, "Okay, let's go back, the work in the field is not in a hurry." Pour a little water into the bowl and put it near Lu Zhuxi's mouth.
"Drink some, it's hot on the way here, quench your thirst."
"Okay." Lu Zhuxi didn't dislike the bowl used by Lu's father, so he took his hand and drank all the water in the bowl.
Then a group of people took the farm tools and walked home. The bamboo basket that Lu Zhuxi came over was taken away by the elder brother, so he had to walk behind them empty-handed.
