"What's wrong? Why do you need to boil water? Didn't you say it would be ready tomorrow afternoon?"
Wang Po stood up quickly. They had just agreed to call people to prepare the banquet for the day after tomorrow afternoon.
"Wash Xiao Chengzi's hair. She has lice all over her head."
Meng Qidi pulled the little girl to sit by the well, "I have some medicated soap in my room. I'll ask Brother Xiao to watch the fire. I'll boil some water and come back to wash her later."
Lice are only feared by people who love cleanliness. If you wash your hair for half a month, they will be gone...
"Okay, okay, you're thoughtful."
Tears welled up in Wang Po's cloudy eyes. It was indeed good to have a woman at home.
The lice on Xiaochengzi's head are nothing in the countryside. They are usually caused by her mother. Her uncle is not at home and her eyesight is not good, so she doesn't take care of the girl. As long as she is not hungry, it's fine.
Taking the fish basket and net from Ling Xiao and telling him to watch the fire, Meng Qidi threw a piece of meat into the fish basket and carried it out.
I walked to the place Ling Xiao mentioned and took a look. Sure enough, the water was bottomless. There were many fish the size of an adult's palm swimming in the water, and occasionally one or two grass carps weighing several kilograms could be seen.
After finding a low-lying area, Meng Qidi threw the net in her hand down and hung it up carefully.
He glanced at the fish basket in his hand, tied it with a rope, gently lowered it into the water, and tied the other end to the tree next to him.
The entrance of this kind of fish basket is very small, but the inside is very large. Once a big fish goes in, it is usually difficult to get out.
After putting the fish basket away, Meng Qidi stopped caring about it and came back to help Xiaochengzi wash his hair.
"Aunt, doesn't it feel itchy after washing your hair?" The little girl lay on her uncle and closed her eyes comfortably.
"Well, just wash it more often and don't touch your head with other children, then you won't get lice."
Meng Qidi's hands were full of bubbles as she gently rubbed her head.
Ling Xiao glanced at him and asked, "Will you help me wash it?"
Meng Qidi glanced at her hands and said, "Tomorrow, I have to go to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots. I have to cook and soak them tonight."
Although there will be people to help with the banquet the day after tomorrow, she still has a lot of work to do in advance, including washing the vegetables and stewing the meat.
"Jin Ming will come over later, and ask him to dig bamboo shoots."
Meng Qidi...
A few minutes later, Ling Xiao was the one squatting and washing his hair...
Little Orange had a towel wrapped around his head, with a look of disgust on his face, "Uncle is so childish, he's so old, but he still needs aunt to help wash his hair."
Grandma Wang, who was sitting nearby, smiled happily, "Yes, it's as big as a small orange."
"There is still hot water in the pot, Mom. I'll help you wash it later." Ling Xiao said with a smile, ignoring the little girl's dissatisfied voice.
"Can you wash your hair?"
"I'll let Xiaoqi wash me once, and then I can learn how to honor you." Someone said without blushing.
"I almost believed you."
Wang Po was amused. It was the first time she heard her son joking.
Little Orange made a face and ran to the old lady, "I almost believed you!"
Ling Jinming came over to help dig bamboo shoots, so Meng Qidi didn't go over. After Ling Xiao helped the old lady wash her hair, she handed her a dry towel and walked towards the place where the fish basket was.
"Wait for me, I'm going too." Ling Jinyue hurriedly followed Meng Qidi.
"Why are you following me? Aren't you here to see your brother Xiao?"
Meng Qidi was speechless about the follower behind her. Why did she start to pester her?
"Nonsense, I'm just looking for you. You're more interesting than Brother Xiao. I don't understand, how could you, who is so capable, fall for my Brother Xiao?"
Meng Qidi twitched her lips and squatted down by the water, "Maybe he's blind?"
Why is this sister not firm? Didn't she say before that she was not worthy of Ling Xiao? How come in the blink of an eye, it became that Ling Xiao was not worthy of her...
"Ahem, let me tell you something." Ling Jinyue squatted down next to Meng Qidi.
Meng Qidi raised her eyebrows, untied the rope and pulled up the fish basket, "What's the matter?"
The fish basket is much heavier than when it was put in, probably because a lot of fish have entered.
She pulled the fish basket aside, then quickly turned around to pick up the fishing net, untied a rope and stuffed it into Ling Jinyue's hand.
Ling Jinyue stopped staring at her and forgot what she was going to say for a moment.
Meng Qidi untied the rope and pulled it hard. The fishing net was pulled up, and the water in the net splashed and boiled instantly.
"There really is a fish!" Ling Jinyue grabbed it tightly in shock, almost losing her balance.
And there are quite a few fish, and they look pretty big...
"Okay, hold on tight, I'll pull hard, don't fall." Meng Qidi nodded slightly.
Ling Jinyue quickly stood firm and held on tightly, fearing that Meng Qidi's strength would be too great and throw her off.
Seeing that she was ready, Meng Qidi dragged it towards the shore with force. After two consecutive efforts, the fishing net was pulled up.
Glancing at the fish jumping around in the fishing net, Meng Qidi picked up the fish basket and dragged the fishing net, "Let's go, let's go back and see what we can find."
Ling Jinyue looked at her in shock. These fish looked heavy. She must be very strong...
After taking two steps, Meng Qidi paused, turned her head and asked, "What did you just say?"
Ling Jinyue came back to her senses and quickly followed, "Ah, what I mean is, don't bring me up with Brother Xiao in the future. He's married, and it won't have a good influence. Besides, I came here to find you, and I want you to take me with you if you have any good things in the future."
Meng Qidi turned around and walked towards home, "Why should I take you with me? You're holding me back."
Ling Jinyue trotted to catch up with her, "Sister-in-law, you can't look down on me. I don't have any other advantages, but I have patience. If you agree to take me with you and ask me to do something, I promise to complete the task."
"What if I don't agree?"
"I'll follow you every day until you agree."
Meng Qidi...
"I have discovered an advantage of your surname Ling."
