Li Mu and Wu Min forced themselves to stay awake and finished the breakfast brought by Uncle Wang, only then did they feel a little more energetic.
Wu Min suggested going to the fishing farm to take a look.
Li Mu, who was originally planning to catch up on his sleep, looked at Wu Min in surprise and said, "Are you kidding me? I was planning to catch up on my sleep."
After hearing what Li Mu said, Wu Min realized that it was only just getting light now and he wouldn't be able to see anything even if he went there now.
So he turned around and walked into the room.
Li Mu looked at Wu Min who left without mercy, shook his head helplessly, and went back to his room alone.
————————————————-
While Li Mu was still drowsy, Wu Min had already gotten up.
Wu Min walked along the village road, wanting to take a good look at Qingshui Village and visit the fish pond that Li Mu and the others had mentioned.
Looking at the stream, groups of women were chatting about village gossip while washing clothes.
...
...
Feeling the cool breeze blowing from Qingshui Village, Wu Min felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility.
Uncle Wang, who had just finished his farm work, saw Wu Min playing by the river on the side of the road.
Smiling, he walked forward and said, "Xiao Min, why are you here alone? Where is Xiao Mu?"
Wu Min, who was distracted at first, heard Uncle Wang's words and said stiffly, "Hello, Uncle Wang, is Brother Li Mu still sleeping?"
Uncle Wang smiled when he heard Wu Min's words and warmly invited Wu Min to visit him at his home.
Wu Min felt a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but she could not resist Uncle Wang's enthusiasm, so she had to follow Uncle Wang back home.
Aunt Liu was sitting in the yard spinning wool for winter, looking at Uncle Wang and Wu Min who had returned a year ago.
Confused, he asked, "Why is Xiao Min here? Where's Xiao Mu? Isn't he with you?"
"Hello, Auntie. Brother Li Mu is still at home. I woke up and felt bored, so I came out for a walk."
After hearing Wu Min's explanation, Aunt Liu stood up, pulled Wu Min to sit down, and chatted with Wu Min about family matters with a smile.
Uncle Wang smiled and shook his head, then took out some specialty snacks from Qingshui Village and placed them in front of the two of them.
Then he went into the house tactfully, not intending to listen to the two people's conversation about some family matters.
"Xiao Min, have you and Xiao Mu known each other for a long time?"
Aunt Liu was a little curious about how Wu Min, a college student, knew Zhou Qiang and Li Mu.
"Aunt, I was bullied before, and Brother Qiangzi saved me. To thank him, I went to Brother Li Mu's house and found that we got along well. Brother Li Mu asked me to come over to help."
Wu Min explained patiently to Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu smiled happily when she heard Wu Min's words, thinking to herself: "This little girl is not bad, I wonder if she is interested in Qiangzi."
Then he asked tentatively: "Xiao Min, do you have a date in town?"
Hearing what Aunt Liu said, Wu Min blushed a little and shook her head embarrassedly.
Seeing Wu Min like this, Aunt Liu immediately said, "There are many good young men in our village. If you see a suitable one, just tell me."
"Auntie will be your matchmaker."
Before Wu Min could answer, she heard Li Mu's voice coming from outside the door.
"Aunt, please don't be a matchmaker. If Xiaomin's parents come to my house later, I'm afraid they will be criticized!"
Li Mu walked in from outside with a smile, picked up the dried sweet potatoes on the table and put them into his mouth.
Hearing Li Mu say this, Wu Min was afraid that Aunt Liu would misunderstand, so she hurriedly said, "Aunt, don't listen to what Brother Li Mu said! That wouldn't happen in my family."
When Aunt Liu heard what Li Mu said, she was a little worried that she had said something wrong, but when she saw Wu Min's reaction, she felt that Wu Min had someone in her heart.
So she asked, "Xiao Min, who do you like? Tell me and Aunt Liu will give you some advice."
Wu Minmin felt a little embarrassed by Aunt Liu's slightly teasing tone, and lowered her head without saying anything.
Li Mu and Aunt Liu smiled at each other and stopped asking questions.
The three of them chatted about family matters for a while. Wu Min remembered that he didn't buy anything when he came, so he made an excuse and said he was going out to buy something.
He asked Li Mu to point out the location of the village supply and marketing cooperative, and then went out alone.
Wu Min originally planned to keep walking along the road, but after walking for a long time he didn't see anything, so he stood there in circles, a little at a loss.
There was an old lady working in the field. She saw Wu Min standing by the road for a long time and walked up to her and asked:
"Little sister, are you waiting for someone here?"
In this unfamiliar place, when Wu Min heard some middle-aged women asking questions, he did not say anything but walked aside.
The aunt did not get angry, but continued to ask: "Little sister, are you lost?"
Wu Min nodded hesitantly and whispered, "I want to go buy something, but I don't know where it is."
The aunt smiled and said, "Come with me."
Wu Min was a little hesitant, afraid of meeting bad people, but there was nothing he could do now, so he could only follow the aunt's footsteps and walk slowly.
After turning a corner, Wu Min saw the supply and marketing cooperative. A smile appeared on his face. After thanking the old lady, he went in and bought a bunch of things.
When she came out after buying the item, she saw the aunt still waiting for her there.
Wu Min walked up and asked, "Aunt, you haven't left yet."
The aunt smiled and said, "Since you are a new girl, I am afraid you can't find the place, so I am waiting for you. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the village chief's house." Wu Min said immediately.
"Oh~ Are you the girl Xiaomu brought back? She's so pretty. Come on, I'll take you back."
When the aunt heard that they were going to the village chief's house, she knew that it was Li Mu who brought them back. As early as the next day when the two of them appeared at the entrance of the village yesterday, everyone in the village knew about it.
So the aunt sent Wu Min back and prepared to leave.
Wu Min took out a few cans of food from the bag, forced them into the mouths of the aunt, and then turned around and went back to the village chief's house.
It was originally just a small episode, but after a while, the aunt came over again.
I gave Wu Min some dried bamboo shoots that I had dried at home.
Wu Min, who had originally only had contact with the village chief, felt warm in his heart when he felt the kindness from other strangers.
He became even more determined to build up the fishery and lead the people in this village to a gradually prosperous life.
Li Mu watched Wu Min receive the gifts from the villagers, and hid aside, smiling without saying anything.
Li Mu walked over only after Wu Min accepted the things.
"Why, are you touched already?" Li Mu said jokingly.
Wu Min nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
"If you stay in the village for a long time, you can feel the simplicity of the villagers. They are different from the people in your town."
"Let's go. I'll take you to the fishery and ask you to give me some advice." After Li Mu finished speaking, he prepared to leave.
Wu Min hurriedly gave the things she bought to Aunt Liu, but Aunt Liu kept refusing to accept them.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, but Li Mu couldn't stand it anymore and forced it on Aunt Liu, and the two of them were able to escape.
