Su Yan and Lu Ting slept well in the space all night, but Lu Jin was miserable. He had never slept on a door panel before, and ended up rolling off the door panel in the middle of the night. Fortunately, he was fine in the end.
Lu Yu and Lu Chen were also very unlucky. Although they did not roll off the bamboo bed, their bodies were covered with mosquito bites.
If it weren't for Grandpa's birthday tomorrow, they would have packed up and left today.
Tian Xiuhe got up early in the morning and cooked a big pot of sweet potato porridge, then hurried to the market with the money and tickets Hua Zhang gave her last night.
Hua Zhang was called by the village chief to release water into the pond at around five o'clock. After washing up, Lu Ting and the others did not rush to eat breakfast. They took advantage of the good morning air and went for a walk in the village together.
When he reached the village entrance, a pretty woman in her twenties wearing a green floral dress stared at Lu Ting.
Su Yan found it very strange. Why did this person look at Lu Ting as if he was looking at a heartless man? She pushed Lu Ting and asked, "Do you know that person?"
Lu Ting casually said, "The village chief's daughter, Hua Baozhu."
She could afford a flowery dress, so she must be the village chief's daughter. Who else in the countryside would dress like that? Hua Baozhu? Just the name suggests she's the village chief's pampered daughter.
Su Yan chuckled, "Lu Ting, didn't you play in the mud together when you were kids?"
"I wasn't that bored when I was a kid. I never played with her."
Hua Xiangnan, who was following behind them, echoed, "Cousin, when my cousin was little, he only played with chickens and ducks. He would run away when he saw a girl."
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. "You're only a teenager. How do you know about your cousin's childhood?"
"Haha, grandpa and grandma always talk about my cousin in front of us. Many girls in our village want to play with him because he is dressed neatly. But when he sees those girls, he just turns his face away."
Lu Ting looked at Hua Xiangnan who was nagging all the way with a dark face. This guy was trying to sabotage him. Did Yanyan think that he had a bad character since childhood?
"Yan Yan, don't listen to Xiang Nan's nonsense. The reason I don't play with them is, firstly, because they are girls, and secondly, because they don't care about hygiene. Their faces are covered in snot and dirt, and their heads are covered in lice."
Su Yan remembered that when the original owner was in elementary school, she was infected by a classmate and her head was covered with lice. Her mother used a comb to catch them one by one. When she couldn't catch them all, she used mothballs soaked in water to wash her hair.
After soaking your hair in mothball water, don’t wash it directly. Instead, wrap the wet hair with a towel and wait an hour before removing the towel. The pungent smell will reach your head directly, and it’s so sour and refreshing.
What’s even more infuriating is that when Jiang Lingling removed the lice from her head, she saw a lot of empty, flat, white lice eggs hanging on her head, so she took a pair of scissors and cut off all her long hair.
The original owner cried for several days because of this incident. She would stay away from anyone in her class who had lice, and it took her several years to grow her hair back.
"Luckily you didn't know me when I was little. I also had lice on my head and had a tendency to have snot in the winter. If you saw me, you would definitely be disgusted, right?"
Lu Ting was stunned. He really couldn't imagine what Su Yan looked like with a snotty nose when she was a child. Judging from her facial features, she must have been very cute when she was a child.
"I know Yanyan's head lice must have been transmitted to you by someone else. Yanyan must have been very cute when she was little, and she could even blow snot bubbles.
Speaking of lice, I remember that Lu Shu and Gu Li had them a few times when they were in elementary school. My mother even boiled tea leaves in water to wash their hair. And when I was in school, I heard that some of my male classmates also had head lice.
Lu Yu pouted and snorted. His elder brother was really hypocritical. In order to comfort his elder sister-in-law, he actually brought up his younger sister's embarrassing stories. He would talk to his second sister in a good way next time he saw her.
Lu Jin just smiled. If you truly love someone, you will see her shortcomings as advantages, right?
Lu Chen was no longer surprised by his elder brother's behavior of licking his elder sister-in-law. Even his elder sister-in-law's farts were considered fragrant in his eyes.
"Cousin, the water in our village pond will probably be drained by ten o'clock. After they catch the big fish, shall we go to the pond with buckets and pick up the small fish?"
Lu Jin asked, "Can we, from outside the village, go pick it up? We won't get criticized, right?"
"No, those small fish belong to whoever picks them up. Besides, my dad will buy a hundred kilograms of big fish from the village chief today, so they are too embarrassed to tell anyone."
Su Yan was a little tempted. She also wanted to go down to the pond to pick up the little fish. She scratched Lu Ting's palm and said, "Lu Ting, can I go down to the pond today?"
"No, the pond is very muddy and it's easy to sink in. You're pregnant and can't go in. If you're bored, I can stand by the pond with you and watch them pick up the trash."
Pregnancy, pregnancy, I can’t do this or that when I’m pregnant.
Last night, her aunt reminded her not to go to the back mountain to pick pears, saying that if a pregnant woman picked pears, the pear tree would not bear pears next year.
Pregnant women's hands can be so poisonous? Isn't this superstition?
Since she used her mind to collect fruits in space before, does that mean that all the fruit trees will not bear fruit next year?
Su Yan returned to the Hua family in a lack of interest and drank a bowl of sweet potato porridge and stopped drinking.
Seeing that Su Yan seemed really unhappy, Lu Ting took her to the creek at the end of the village to play for a while after breakfast.
Hearing a child shouting, "The pond is dry, pick up the fish!" Su Yan hurriedly pulled Lu Ting to the pond.
The water in the fish pond seemed not to have completely dried up. A group of men were standing in the pond, pulling the fishing net towards the shore. The people on the shore were eager to catch the big fish. Once they put the big fish into the basket, they could pick up the remaining small fish in the pond at will.
Today, the pond in Lihua Village is dry, and every household can get one or two big fish. The remaining big fish will all be sold to the seafood market.
Su Yan stood by and watched them carry away the big fish one by one. She estimated that at least more than 10,000 kilograms of fish were caught from this pond today. The largest bighead carp weighed 25 or 26 kilograms. It seemed that this pond had not been dried for several years.
