When Su Yin woke up in the morning, she heard the conversation between her mother and her aunt.
“There’s not much water left.”
"The mules must have plenty of water, so we should drink less during the day."
"Don't let Yinyin know about this, so he doesn't have to worry about it."
Su Yin stood up, and the two were startled.
"Yes."
"Didn't you just buy a bucket of water?" Su Yin felt strange.
Su Baozhu's face fell, "Don't mention it, the mule accidentally kicked it over."
As he said this, he glared at the mule that was eating grass not far away.
Su's mother said, "Don't blame it, it's all my fault. When I took it down, I put it too close to it."
Su Baozhu saw Su Yin take a water scoop from the car and walk out, "Yinyin, where are you going?"
"Get some water."
"Where?" Su Baozhu's eyes lit up and she immediately took her tools. Even her mother followed.
He knew they had misunderstood, but he did not explain. Instead, he pointed to the bushes all over the mountain and said with a smile, "They are everywhere here."
"where?"
Su's mother and Su Baozhu looked around but couldn't see any water.
"You girl, tell me quickly where the water is." Su's mother patted her shoulder in dissatisfaction, as if to say that if she didn't tell me, she would punish her.
"Come with me."
Su Yin took a watering can and walked to a dense bush. The leaves in the morning were tender green, with crystal water droplets dotted on their pointed tips.
Place the watering can under the treetop and flick your finger gently. Crystal clear water drops fall into the watering can, leaving only a long water mark and no trace left.
"Here it is."
Mother Su: “…”
Su Baozhu: “…”
The two didn't know what words to use to describe how fucked up they felt at the moment.
Su Munu moved her lips a few times and finally closed her mouth.
Su Yin smiled and said, "It's nothing to do. While it's still early and there's a lot of dew, get some more. A little bit adds up to a lot. It's good to have one more drink."
These words touched the hearts of both of them.
"You're right, little by little it adds up to a lot. One more sip of water is good."
Collecting dew does not require any technical skills, just enough patience.
Cousin Taohua saw Cousin Yinyin squatting in front of the bushes. She came forward and saw that her cousin was collecting dew. She asked curiously, "Cousin Yinyin, why are you collecting dew?"
“Drink!”
Cousin Taohua was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses and immediately ran back, rummaging through the luggage.
Aunt Li saw it and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Mom, have you seen my water hyacinth?"
"What do you want that for?" Li asked curiously.
"Get some water."
"Get some water?" Li's eyes widened with surprise. "Girl, where is the water?"
Yang Taohua pointed in the direction of Su Yin, "Over there! There are dew on the leaves. If I collect the dew, there will be water."
Li was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "What's the use of the dew? It's troublesome to collect it."
Little Taohua shook her head and said in disagreement, "Mom, you are wrong. We are short of water now, so any extra water is a good thing. Even if I can't collect a whole gourd in the morning, I can at least get half a gourd. Half a gourd of water can last me a whole day."
Li was stunned by what he said, "You are right, mother was wrong."
Li quickly put the hands of the old and young in the family into the container and gave a direct order, asking everyone to collect dew.
The couple Yang Dachuan and Yang Dashan who lived next door noticed the commotion over there and sent someone over to inquire.
When he heard that they were collecting dew, he was very surprised. Knowing that it was Yinyin who started it, he immediately asked all the children in the family to collect dew.
Aunt Wang called her son and said, "Arong, tell your sister and brother-in-law about this and ask them to collect dew quickly. No matter how much you can collect, as long as you can, you can collect as much as you can."
"Oh." Yang Rong responded and immediately walked towards the camping site of his two sisters and brother-in-law.
There are many people collecting dew here, which naturally attracts other people's attention.
"Taohua, what are you doing?" Butcher Yang's wife came forward curiously, "Hey, why are you collecting all this dew?"
"My sister Yinyin said that dew is also water."
Butcher Yang's wife's eyes lit up, and she slapped her forehead and muttered, "Yes! Why didn't I think of that? Dew is also water."
She hurried to her own camp, secretly asked her family to take pots and pans to collect dew, no matter how much they could collect, just collect it.
Seeing this, other women also joined the team and sent their children to collect dew.
"Da Zhuang Niang, why don't you go?"
Aunt Wang, who lived next door to Da Zhuang's mother, asked casually.
Da Zhuang Niang sneered, "Just listen to her! There is only so much dew. No matter how much you collect, it will only be a little. Why waste your time?"
Aunt Wang hesitated, but seeing that everyone around her, young and old, was working on it, she decided to join the group. It was always a good idea to follow the group.
Daya glanced at her mother, secretly picked up her broken bowl, and joined the team collecting dew.
She hadn't had water for a long time, her lips were chapped and she was very thirsty.
Her mother refused to let her drink too much water, so she had to endure it along the way.
Now that she can collect dew herself, she doesn't have to ask her mother for water, which makes her very happy.
The dew in summer is not as good as that in spring because the temperature is high and it evaporates easily. Therefore, if you want to collect dew, you must do it before the sun rises.
This is a job that is a race against time.
As the sun rises, the temperature in the air gradually increases, and the dew attached to the branches and leaves slowly evaporates.
Su Yin glanced at the dew in her water scoop, which was about half a bowl.
Not bad, not bad. If you drink it sparingly, you can drink four or five sips and it will last you half a day.
Little Yang Gui handed the dew he had collected to Su Yin as if he was presenting a treasure.
"Sister, look, I have collected so much dew."
Su Yin took a look and found that it was one third of her amount. It was rare for a child of his age to collect so much.
"Our little treasure is really amazing."
Little Yang Gui's face turned red due to the praise, and the next second, he poured the dew he had collected into her water scoop.
"To my sister."
Su Yin felt warm in her heart and gently touched the little guy's head, "Thank you, Xiaobao."
Little Yang Gui turned around and ran away with a red face.
What a good child! But when Su Yin thought of those two little bastards, she got angry.
Those two little guys, Su Xinyang and Su Xinguang, are about the same age as young Yang Gui, but they were taught by their grandma to be like that. It makes me angry just looking at them.
If these two guys fall into her hands, they will have a hard time.
"Mom, that loser stole the water, you should beat her to death."
Suddenly, a disgusting voice came into my ears.
Su Yin looked in the direction of the voice.
Da Zhuang was grabbing his sister Daya's hair and pulling it hard, not caring at all about her life or death.
