The next day, after breakfast, Zhou Bin packed up his things and prepared to go to Qingshuigou on the west side of the village to catch crabs.
When Xiaohua saw this, she strongly requested to go along. Seeing Xiaohua's eagerness, Zhou Bin agreed this time.
When Xiaohua heard this, she almost burst into joy. She had never been to Qingshuigou before.
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Xiaohua, you can go, but you must pay attention to safety and don't run around."
Xiaohua nodded happily: "Dad, don't worry, I won't run around."
Li Nan said at the side: "Then I will go with you."
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Xiao Nan, you don't have to go. The road in the ditch is not easy to walk on, and Dad needs someone to cook for him. I'll call Ah Niu over later, and the two of us will be almost there."
Li Nan smiled and said, "Why don't you let me do anything? I'm almost bored."
Zhou Bin said softly, "I don't need you to do anything. You suffered in the past because I was sick. Now that I'm well, how can I let you suffer again? Just rest at home."
Li Nan said with a look of reproach on her face: "You keep pampering me all day long. If I become a lazy woman, you will be in trouble."
But she felt a warm feeling in her heart. It seemed that she had made the right decision to marry Zhou Bin despite her family's opposition.
Zhou Bin laughed: "I will turn you into a lazy woman. You didn't follow me to work."
As he said that, he picked up the bag and led Xiaohua out the door.
After a while, they arrived at Aniu's house.
I saw Ah Niu sitting at the door with his head down, looking at the mountains in the distance with boredom.
"Aniu, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Bin said with a smile.
When Ah Niu saw that it was Zhou Bin, he quickly stood up and said, "Brother, I'm just bored and have nowhere to go."
He was supposed to help Zhou Bin sell steamed buns, but after just one day, Zhou Bin stopped going. Later, he could go to the woods to pick mushrooms, but they were all gone.
His father was busy weeding and spraying pesticides in the fields all day, and he had no chance to help. Besides, he had no interest in these things and felt tired after working for a while.
Zhou Bin laughed and said, "Boring? Then why don't you go weed the fields?"
Ah Niu looked unhappy: "What can you do in the fields? You can't earn any money except for having enough food."
Zhou Bin immediately said, "It's easy to make money. Come with me to the ditch to catch crabs."
Ah Niu suddenly became interested: "Brother, what did you just say? Can you make money by catching crabs?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Of course you can make money. Come with me first, and you will know when the time comes."
Ah Niu suddenly became excited: "Okay, brother, let's go."
Xiao Hua asked happily, "Uncle Niu, are you going to catch crabs too?"
Ah Niu smiled and said, "Yeah, I like catching crabs too."
A few people were walking towards the ditch, talking and laughing, when suddenly they heard the sound of running behind them.
Zhou Bin looked back and found that it was Dahuang who ran towards him.
When Xiao Hua saw it, she immediately shouted, "Da Huang, do you want to go with us?"
Dahuang shook his head and wagged his tail, looking very excited.
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Since you are here, let's go together."
When Dahuang heard this, he immediately became happy and ran towards the ditch.
A Niu was full of envy: "Brother, why is your dog so big? It's as big as a wolf!"
Zhou Bin laughed and said, "Of course not. Da Huang is now a bully in the village. When the dogs see him, they are so scared that they dare not bark."
Several people soon arrived at the edge of the ditch. The road down the ditch was a narrow path with wormwood and thorns growing on both sides, making it very difficult to walk on.
Da Huang ran away as if it were flat ground, disappearing in no time.
When Ah Niu saw it, he also became excited and ran downstairs.
Zhou Bin held Xiaohua's hand and walked slowly down behind them.
It was early summer at this time. Wild flowers were blooming on the hillsides on both sides. Yellow, red, and purple flowers covered the entire hillside, looking extremely beautiful.
The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, mixed with the summer breeze, which makes people deeply intoxicated.
Xiaohua picked flowers as she walked. She also made a straw hat for herself with wild grass and flowers and put it on her head.
"Dad, do you think my straw hat looks good?" Xiaohua asked happily.
Zhou Bin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said sincerely: "It looks good, Xiaohua made this hat really well!"
Xiaohua giggled happily after hearing this and seemed so carefree.
Zhou Bin was filled with emotion. In her last life, poor Xiaohua must have been so scared when she was alone in a strange place. He really didn't dare to think about what kind of mood she was in when she left.
He thought he would never be able to repay what he owed Xiaohua, and the guilt in his heart would never be relieved until his death.
But God gave him such an opportunity. He never wanted Xiaohua to suffer any grievances again. He wanted to make her the happiest girl in the world!
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiaohua had already run to the front, and Zhou Bin hurriedly followed.
Xiaohua was holding a bunch of light yellow flowers in her hand and handed them to him with a smile: "Dad, these flowers are for you, do you like them?"
Zhou Bin put his nose close to it and sniffed it. A refreshing floral fragrance instantly rushed into his nose, making him feel relaxed and happy.
He smiled and said, "I like it. Dad likes everything Xiaohua gives him."
Xiaohua laughed happily.
The two of them had unknowingly reached the bottom of the ditch, and Ah Niu was already busy in the stream.
The reason why this Qingshui ditch is called this name is because there is a clear stream at the bottom of the ditch.
The source of the stream is a large stone spring. The water in it is clear and sweet, and especially thirst-quenching.
