Chapter 80 Fell into the water
The contract has been signed, and we'll start measuring the land this afternoon. After that, we'll have to demarcate the contracted land.
Zhou Mingshi was originally going to go with them, but just before leaving, he received a call from the old man who had business to discuss with him, so he could only handle the business at home. As for Assistant Chen, he had been in the county town for the past few days.
Zhou Mingshi patted Lin Yi'an's hair: "You guys go first, I'll be there in a bit."
“With two dads and Zhizhi helping you, you can focus on your work,” Lin Yi’an said.
Zhou Mingshi: "Hmm."
They started by measuring the nearby land. When Lin Yi'an and her group arrived, Zuo Mingyang and the villagers were already waiting there.
Zuo Mingyang said with a smile, "Let's finish measuring these two hills first today."
Lin Yi'an: "Let's measure first, wherever we end up. Do you know any land reclamation teams nearby?"
Zuo Mingyang: "My junior high school classmate is working in land reclamation. I can help you contact them."
Lin Yi'an: "Okay."
A group of people measured the land and recorded the data.
Zhou Kanghui had never done anything like this before. Today was the weekend, and he was watching the commotion with a group of kids.
After measuring one hilltop, they moved on to the next. Zhou Kanghui surveyed the surrounding scenery: "This pond is quite large. Are there many fish in it?"
Uncle Hu chuckled and said, "This is my family's fishpond."
Zhou Kanghui asked, "What kinds of fish are there?"
Uncle Hu: "Grass carp, crucian carp, and silver carp are all common fish, which you may not like."
Zhou Kanghui said with a smile, "I just love to eat. I like any kind of fish as long as it's cooked well."
Uncle Hu said to him, "I don't feed my fish. I raise them for my own consumption. If we can't finish them, we sell them. If you like, I can haul in a net for you."
Zhou Kanghui waved his hand and said, "After you finish measuring the land, bring me a net full of fish, and I'll buy them."
Hearing his words, Lin Yi'an walked to the fishpond and asked, "Dad, do you want to buy fish?"
Zhou Kanghui said excitedly, "I've never fished like this before, having this guy help me pull in the net."
Seeing his enthusiasm, Lin Yi'an said, "Alright, if we can't finish all the fish we catch, we'll give one to each of the elderly people in the village who have leased land to us. Fourth Uncle, do you have enough fish here?"
Uncle Hu: "Enough is enough. Although my fishpond isn't very big, I still have several thousand kilograms of fish."
Lin Yi'an looked at the fishpond and was about to speak when several children playing wildly by the roadside bumped into her without noticing.
Before Lin Yi'an could react, they bumped her into the fishpond.
Zhou Kanghui was startled and shouted, "Quickly, go save my An'an..."
As he spoke, he ran towards the fishpond. Zuo Mingyang was standing nearby. Hearing the commotion, he jumped into the fishpond in a few steps.
Uncle Hu didn't go down after they went down, and said with a dark face, "These children are too naughty."
A group of children were frightened and hid to the side, too scared to come closer.
Zhou Mingshi drove over, and as soon as he got out of the car, he heard his father's words. He saw the person struggling to pull his hand out of the fishpond, his pupils contracted, and he ran over in a few steps.
Zuo Mingyang dragged Lin Yi'an towards the shore from the fishpond, and seeing him rushing back into the pond, said, "You don't need to get down..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Mingshi had already gone down into the pond, taken Lin Yi'an from his arms, and carried her ashore.
Although Lin Yi-an can swim, she was still startled when someone knocked her into the water and swallowed some water. She started coughing as soon as she got to the shore.
Zhou Mingshi kept patting her back.
Ye Lingzhi and Lin Shuhe were marking out land over there when they heard the commotion and rushed over. Zhou Mingshi looked at her and said, "Go get the car."
Ye Lingzhi quickly put down her things and ran to get the car.
Zhou Mingshi picked up Lin Yi'an and walked into the car.
After the car drove away, Zhou Kanghui climbed out of the pond, dumbfounded, and shouted, "Why didn't you wait for me? My clothes are all wet!"
Zuo Mingyang looked at his soaking wet clothes; he was wet too...
Lin Shuhe quickly said, "Brother Zhou and Mingyang, you two go back and change your clothes. We won't measure the land today; we'll talk about it tomorrow. I'll pack my things here."
Inside the car, Zhou Mingshi held Lin Yi'an in his arms: "Take off your wet clothes?"
Lin Yi'an then had the energy to speak: "It's okay, we'll be home soon."
Zhou Mingshi disagreed: "There's no one else here, I'll take your clothes off."
Ye Lingzhi, who was driving: "..." When necessary, she could pretend she didn't exist.
After Zhou Mingshi finished speaking, he took off her long-sleeved hooded T-shirt and underwear, picked up the blanket next to him and wrapped it around her, then bent down to take off her sneakers and socks.
Lin Yi'an looked outside and said, "No need to take off your pants. We're home. Let's go downstairs first."
Zhou Mingshi was also soaked. He wrapped her in a blanket and bent down to hug her.
Lin Yi-an said, "There are slippers in the car, I can walk by myself..."
Zhou Mingshi didn't say anything. He carried her upstairs, went straight into the bathroom, put her down, and started taking off their clothes.
“…” Lin Yi’an watched his movements and reminded him, “There’s a bathroom over there.”
Zhou Mingshi put the clothes in the laundry basket, turned on the shower, and went up to hug her: "Lin Bao'er, you scared me to death."
Lin Yi'an let him hold her: "I can swim. I wasn't paying attention and a child bumped into me and I fell into the fishpond..."
Zhou Mingshi: "A child who deserves a beating."
Lin Yi'an pushed him: "Let go of me first."
The bathroom was filled with steam. Zhou Mingshi released her, squeezed out some shower gel, and picked up a bath sponge to rub it on her body.
Lin Yi'an wasn't used to others bathing her, so she reached out to take the bath sponge from his hand: "I'll bathe myself."
Zhou Mingshi didn't give it to her: "The pond water isn't clean, there are some places you can't wash in."
After saying that, he added, "Don't worry, I won't do anything if you're frightened."
Lin Yi'an chuckled: "I don't suspect what you're up to."
Zhou Mingshi: "Yes, in Yi'an's heart, I am a gentleman."
Lin Yi'an: "......"
Zhou Mingshi had never bathed anyone before; this was his first time. Although his movements were a bit clumsy, he was thoughtful and meticulous, and in the end, he completed the task very well.
He took a bath towel and wrapped it around her, then took a towel to dry her hair.
His face was expressionless, but his actions left no room for doubt, so Lin Yi'an had no choice but to let him dry her hair.
After drying her hair, she said, "I'm going out to get dressed. You should take a shower too. I'll ask Aunt Wang to make some ginger soup so we can both have some."
Zhou Mingshi grunted and instructed, "Your hair isn't dry yet. Dry it, change your clothes, and go lie down on the bed."
Lin Yi'an: "Okay."
Lin Yi'an dried her hair. Zhou Mingshi hadn't come out yet. Feeling sleepy, she lay down and slowly fell asleep.
When Zhou Mingshi came out of the shower, he saw her sleeping soundly with her head buried in the pillow. He went over, bent down and touched her forehead. She didn't have a fever, and he relaxed slightly. He changed his clothes, went downstairs, and said to Wang Ma, "Wang Ma, make some ginger soup."
Grandma Lin came out of the treatment room: "Is Yi'an alright?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Asleep."
Grandma Lin: "I'll go upstairs and check her pulse later."
Zhou Mingshi: "Hmm."
Zhou Kanghui quickly took a shower and came out, seeing him, he said angrily, "An'an fell into the water, and I immediately jumped in to save her. And you, you just drove off without waiting for me. I walked back in my wet clothes, shivering several times..."
The more he talked about it, the angrier he got.
Zhou Mingshi then looked at him and asked, "You went into the water too?"
Zhou Kanghui was furious: "So you didn't even see me?"
Zhou Mingshi didn't say anything; he genuinely hadn't noticed whether his father had gone into the water.
Zhou Kanghui sneered repeatedly.
