Especially the blue brick and tile house and the big waterwheel where the mill was located, she looked at them again and again with curiosity. Although she couldn't figure out what they were, it was good to broaden her horizons.
So, Shu Miao decisively stopped on the bridge and looked at the slowly turning waterwheel not far away with eyes full of surprise.
Carefully feeling the moisture blowing towards her face, she squinted her eyes comfortably.
Shu Zili didn't have such a good attitude as her. He finished the sweet potato in a few bites, clapped his hands, and went down the stone steps by the river.
He washed his hands first, then took off his shoes and socks, sat down, and soaked his feet in the river water.
The coolness instantly brightened his mood, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Comfortable!"
Shu Zili, who was playing in the river, called out to his cousin, "Aren't you getting sunburned standing there? Come down and cool down together."
"I'm not hot." Shu Miao shook her head and declined his kindness.
The water looked very deep, and with the push of the waterwheel, the surface of the water was not calm at all. As a landlubber who couldn't swim, she had better be cautious.
Thinking of this, Shu Miao couldn't help but express his concerns, "The water is quite deep, take it easy and don't slip."
Shu Zili shook his head disapprovingly, "It's okay, I can swim, I can just get up again if I fall."
Since he said so, Shu Miao didn't say anything more and turned to ask about another thing that had been on his mind for a long time.
"Where does the Lin Zhiqing you mentioned live? I want to see what the people in the city look like."
Of course, she wasn't really curious about this, but she just had to find a suitable excuse.
She couldn't just say blatantly that she wanted to exchange things with the educated youth, right?
"What's so good about city people? Aren't they the same as us, with a nose and a mouth, just whiter."
He said words of disdain, but never mentioned that in the first year of his sent-down youth going to the countryside, he had to pester his brother for a long time before he was able to see this intellectual from the city.
Even so, Shu Zili still put on his shoes and socks, walked back to the bridge and told her,
"The educated youth site is a bit far away, so we just take a look and leave." The main reason is that we are afraid that we will be late and cannot make it back for class.
Since the other party was willing to lead the way, Shu Miao was naturally happy to see it happen.
The two of them turned around again and walked towards the brigade headquarters. When they passed by Aunt Qin's yard, they both ignored it.
It was not until Shu Miao saw the words "Serve the People" written in large letters on a small room next to the brigade headquarters that he unconsciously slowed down his pace.
