"How is it?" Tang Aiguo wiped the sweat from his face and looked at Qin Zijin with a smile on his face.
"Dad, you are so amazing! You dug it out in just one afternoon? I thought it would take two or three days." Qin Zijin's face was full of joy.
In this way, we can put the fish in here and raise them tonight.
If you keep the fish in a wooden basin or barrel overnight and none of them die, anyone can tell that there is a problem.
But if it is kept in a pond, it is acceptable.
"What's the big deal? My old bones can still do the work. You, don't be too anxious in the future. You don't have to work so hard. Take more rest. Asan said that you were injured when giving birth. You must take good care of yourself and not overwork yourself." Tang Aiguo waved his hand, saw that the water was released too slowly, and picked up a bucket to fetch water from the well.
Qin Zijin was not idle either. It was getting late and she had to get up in the evening.
Cangjiang Tang strung two pearl necklaces and put them away first. Seeing that Tang Aiguo was still busy at his age, he pushed his wheelchair and took a basin to help add water.
In the backyard, two adults and two children were busy as hell. From time to time, the laughter of Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng could be heard coming from afar.
Qin Zijin was in the kitchen, cooking with the lights on. Unlike when she lived in the old house over there, she was reluctant to light extra candles and kerosene lamps. She had to finish cooking before dark. After eating and washing up quickly, she went to bed early.
By the time Qin Zijin finished cooking, it was already six o'clock and it was completely dark.
A crescent moon hangs in the sky, and a few scattered stars are faintly visible. The weather is very good this night.
Qin Zijin went to the backyard and called the busy grandfather and grandchildren to come for dinner.
One third of the pond is already filled with water, enough to barely hold the fish.
"Okay, don't turn off the water, leave it there for now. Let's go eat first."
Tang Aiguo hadn't been this happy for a long time, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng also couldn't stop smiling.
They have never experienced such a happy game at their age.
Qin Zijin washed their hands, wiped their faces, and touched their backs. She found that their backs were sweating a lot because they were too excited to play. She quickly took a dry towel and stuffed it on their backs to wipe the sweat. Then she took the two little ones back to eat.
The family sat together, with four dishes and a soup on the table, the soup still steaming.
The rice exudes a light rice aroma.
Tang Aiguo looked at the rice in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Life is indeed much better now than it was back then. Back then, we couldn't bear to eat such fine grains. The rice was all stale. If we didn't wash it carefully, we would often eat sand. And the rice we cooked wasn't that white."
Qin Zijin's heart skipped a beat. He smiled and silently finished eating the bowl.
Isn’t it white?
This is the best rice produced by the system shopping mall. It is naturally different from the rice grown and harvested by the villagers.
After he was full, Tang Aiguo ran to the back to see how much water was added.
Qin Zijin gave the two little ones a bath and urged them to go to bed.
"Tang Shen, come here, I'll change the dressing on your wound." Qin Zijin saw Tang Shen still sitting there in a daze and waved at him.
Tang Shen suddenly felt a little uneasy, "Well, how about I change it myself?"
"You change it yourself?" Qin Zijin looked at Tang Shen with a strange expression, then her eyes fell on his red earlobe and she couldn't help laughing, "Are you shy?"
Tang Shen coughed and avoided Qin Zijin's gaze.
Qin Zijin went over and pushed his wheelchair. "You can't change the medicine yourself, so let me do it. I can wipe your body at the same time."
As he said that, he pushed the person into the room.
After helping Tang Shen sit on the bed, Qin Zijin went to fetch a bucket of water and wiped Tang Shen's body.
"Wipe the body, I'll do it myself." Tang Shen's face was frighteningly red, and he spoke haltingly.
Qin Zijin just smiled at him, seeing that he was indeed extremely shy. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then you go wash yourself first. I'll go get some more firewood."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Tang Shen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really not used to Qin Zijin serving him like this.
Especially such an intimate act.
It took Qin Zijin more than ten minutes before he came to Tang Shen's room again.
He took out the prepared ointment and applied it to Tang Shen.
Tang Shen looked at the black ointment and smelled the faint medicinal fragrance in the air. He couldn't help but wonder: "When was this ointment made?"
"When you're not at home." Qin Zijin replied casually.
Tang Shen made an "oh" sound and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know what to say, so he could only listen to Qin Zijin applying medicine to him.
Qin Zijin's fingers were white, slender, and a little cool. She applied the ointment on his legs. Tang Shen couldn't help but let his imagination run wild as he watched.
After Qin Zijin had applied the medicine, she looked up and saw him looking at her with a red face. She couldn't help but laugh again, "Why are you blushing all the time? Are you sick? Let me take a look."
As he said this, he reached out and covered Tang Shen's forehead.
The temperature of his forehead was indeed a little hot. Qin Zijin raised an eyebrow and grabbed his hand to feel his pulse. He found that the pulse was a little disordered, but it was not because of any physical problems. It was purely due to nervousness and irregular heartbeat.
It was probably because Tang Shen was shy that he was making a fuss. Qin Zijin was a little amused and helpless for a moment.
I stopped teasing him and told him to go to bed early before going to the backyard.
The water was still being released. Tang Aiguo went to the well and drew several more buckets of water. It looked like it was only about one-third full at this moment. If he wanted to fill it up, it would probably take a whole night, and a lot of water would be wasted.
Water is very precious right now, and no one wants to waste it like this.
"Dad, don't be busy for now. Let's just leave it like this for now. Drinking water is not cheap. We will draw well water tomorrow. This is enough for now." Qin Zijin quickly stopped Tang Aiguo.
Tang Aiguo looked at the water level, thought for a moment, nodded, and went to turn off the water.
Qin Zijin checked the water meter and found that several cubic meters of water had been used in the past few hours. It was such a waste.
"Shall we put the fish in now?" Tang Aiguo put away the bucket and asked Qin Zijin again.
Qin Zijin nodded, and together with Tang Aiguo, they put all the fish they caught today into the pond in the backyard.
The pond is spacious and the fish start splashing as soon as they enter the water.
While Tang Aiguo was not paying attention, Qin Zijin secretly took water from the space and mixed it into the water for raising fish. After the fish were put in, the original water for raising fish was also poured in.
"I hope he's not dead. I'll get up early tomorrow to check on him." Tang Aiguo took a look and muttered.
"Dad, the water is ready. You go take a hot bath first. I'll go and rest with Xuanxuan and the others." Qin Zijin clapped his hands, said hello to Tang Aiguo, and went to rest.
