She knew that Luo Jingyan had saved her and was very grateful, because Luo Jingyan was the only tractor driver in the village and also the person in charge of the distillery. Most people in the village knew Luo Jingyan.

"Thank you, Luo Zhiqing, thank you for saving me."

The girl who fell into the water is sixteen years old and is the daughter of Yao Dafu from this village. Her name is Yao Jinrong.

Her younger brother, Yao Jinhu, who was standing next to her, had been frightened and cried earlier. He was still wiping away tears when he saw his sister wake up.

"Sister, you're awake. It's all my fault. I caused you to fall, and I couldn't even save you."

Luo Jingyan asked Yao Jinrong, "How did you fall into the water?"

Before Yao Jinrong could answer, Yao Jinhu said, "It's all my fault. I wanted to go down into the river to catch shrimp, but I couldn't catch any in the shallow water, so I wanted to go to the deeper parts. My sister wouldn't let me go, but I wouldn't listen and insisted on going in. My sister was afraid something would happen to me, so she forced her to come ashore, but she slipped and fell in. Waaah, I almost killed my sister."

Luo Jingyan said, "Since you know you were wrong, you must never make the same mistake again. Deep water is very dangerous; you can easily drown. You only have one life, so never gamble with it."

Yao Jinhu listened to Luo Jingyan's warning and nodded repeatedly.

"I understand, Sister Educated Youth. I promise I won't be so willful again. I will cherish life and stay away from dangerous waters. I will try my best not to come here again."

"Yes, very good."

Yao Jinrong regained some strength and sat up.

At this moment, Yao's parents also arrived, followed by two little ones who had gone to deliver the message.

Before Yao's mother arrived, her voice preceded her.

"Jin Rong, Jin Hu, how are you? Please don't let anything happen to you."

But when she got closer, she saw that Yao Jinhu was fine, and Yao Jinrong was soaking wet, but she was sitting safely on the shore and was not in any danger.

Only then did her anxious heart gradually settle down.

She sat down and reached out to hug Yao Jinrong: "Oh dear, Jinrong, I just heard that you fell into the water, it scared me to death! Luckily, you and Jinhu are both alright."

Jin Hu was afraid that Yao's mother would blame Yao Jinrong.

"Mother, my sister fell into the river because she was pulling me ashore, please don't scold her."

"So it was you!" Yao's mother immediately glared at Yao Jinhu: "Why are you so naughty? You almost got your sister into trouble."

Yao Jinrong looked at Luo Jingyan and said, "Mother, I just fell into the middle of the river and almost couldn't get out. Sister Luo jumped in and saved me."

Yao's mother had just seen that Luo Jingyan was also soaking wet, but she was too anxious about her daughter to ask.

"Luo Zhiqing, thank you so much. Thank you for saving my daughter. You are a great benefactor to our family."

“Auntie, the river is dangerous. I’ve already told Jin Hu to be careful in the future. He should try to avoid coming here to play if possible.”

“I will speak for her.”

Luo Jingyan was soaked to the bone and wanted to go back to change her clothes. Yao Jinrong was also soaking wet, so it wasn't convenient for them to talk there.

"Auntie, please take this little girl home quickly. Her clothes are wet, and she might catch a cold."

"Mmm-hmm."

Before they left, they bowed and scraped to Luo Jingyan, expressing their deepest gratitude.

Luo Changtian arrived carrying a bucket of water and accompanied by Black Tiger. Luo Jingyan went home with them.

Luo Jingyan caught three large carp, while Luo Changtian caught five. Excluding the two he fed to the cat, there were three left: one large and two small.

"Sister, I want to raise these two little ones, and feed them to Black Tiger whenever he wants to eat."

"Okay, these two fish may not be big, but they'll need a lot of water if you keep them. If the water is low, you'll have to change it frequently, otherwise the oxygen in the water will decrease and the fish will suffocate."

"I estimate that Black Tiger can eat two a day and finish them in one day. He won't be afraid of suffocating."

"Then you do it. What kind of fish do you want to eat today? Or, how about we take two to the cowshed and eat with Mom, Dad, and Grandma?"

"Great idea, sister! Let's go now!"

Luo Jingyan picked out the two largest ones from the bucket, intending to take them to the cowshed.

"We'll deal with the rest when we get back."

"Um."

They brought the fish to the cowshed. Luo's father felt sorry for his daughter, Luo Jingyan, who had worked hard fishing, so he told her to rest. This time, he took charge of cooking, making one sweet and sour fish and one braised fish.

After lunch, Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian returned.

Luo Jingyan had just finished her afternoon nap when Yao's mother came over with her two children. Yao's mother stuffed ten yuan into Luo Jingyan's hand.

“Luo, thanks to you, my Jinrong was saved. We don’t have anything good in our countryside. Take this money and buy whatever you want.”

Luo Jingyan didn't need the ten yuan and returned it to Yao's mother.

"Auntie, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't take the money."

"Young Master Luo, please don't be so polite with your aunt. We really didn't know what to give you. We were afraid you wouldn't like it if we bought something ourselves."

"Even if you buy me something, I won't take it."

Yao's mother thought that Luo Jingyan kept refusing because she thought it wasn't enough.

He ran home with that big ten-yuan note, and when he came back, he had some more loose bills in his hand, some one-yuan notes and some a few cents.

“Luo, I’ve managed to scrape together some more money from home. You must take it.”

Luo Jingyan was both amused and exasperated. It turned out that Yao's mother thought she was complaining about the amount of money, so she went home to get more.

“Auntie, it’s not that I think the money is too little. Even if you gave me more, I wouldn’t take it. Listen to me, take it back and buy some good food and new clothes for the children.”
