Luo Qiao didn't stop until she saw that she had almost filled up the backpack.
He took out a fish weighing about two kilograms from his backpack and put it into Grandma Lin's backpack.
He said softly, "Grandma Lin, I caught this fish in the pond. You can take it back to nourish Grandpa Lin and yourself."
Mrs. Lin was startled and quickly stopped him, saying, "My girl, this won't do. We already feel guilty about the food, how can we eat your fish? There are fish in the pond, but they are hard to catch.
My daughter, you should go to that pond less often in the future. It is very deep. I remember my father-in-law once said that a rope of fifty or sixty meters could not reach the bottom. Be obedient, my daughter, and go to that place less often. "
Luo Qiao said, "Grandma Lin, I didn't go into the water. I used a net to fish it out. Don't worry."
Without stopping the movement of her hands, she put the fish under the basket and put firewood on it. Mrs. Lin was so anxious that she clapped her hands.
Luo Qiao said, "Grandma Lin, I have another one in my backpack. Please don't be polite. It's getting late. Let's go home quickly."
Mrs. Lin nodded with mixed feelings and prepared to go home. Luo Qiao looked at the basket of firewood and felt sorry for her, so she said, "Mrs. Lin, please wait here for me. Don't leave."
So he quickly picked up his backpack and hurried home. The educated youth point was not far from the downhill, so it was very close.
He hurriedly put the basket back in the yard and locked the door. Then he ran back quickly, picked up Mrs. Lin's basket of firewood, and said, "Let's go. I'll help you take it back."
Mrs. Lin said anxiously, "Oh, really, there's no need. I thought you had something to do. I can carry you."
Luo Qiao said, "It's okay, Grandma Lin, let's go. If we're any later, we'll miss the dinner."
The old man and the young had a good chat along the way, and they met many villagers on the way. Some praised Luo Qiao for being great, while others said that he was really short-sighted. What good could he get from currying favor with Mrs. Lin? He was just putting on an act for the villagers to see.
These words could not hurt Luo Qiao at all, if she hadn't seen that Grandma Lin was so thin that she could be blown down by a gust of wind, she would have felt a little bit sorry for it. She would have just been a matter of lending a hand.
After all, this is not the end of the world, and we have to integrate into the society. Besides, if I hadn't had the help of the team leader and his wife when I first arrived at the educated youth point, I would not have been able to settle down so quickly.
People always have to look forward, look at the good, and look at the kind. Besides, when I was working in the fields, I heard a lot of aunts talking about the Lin family. Now that I have encountered it, I really can't just ignore it.
After delivering the things to their home, they left without staying for long. Luo Qiao did not mention that she would help them go up the mountain to chop firewood another day, so as not to make the old couple feel uneasy.
The old couple of the Lin family are only in their sixties, but judging from their appearance, they look to be in their seventies. I'll help them if I can. It's not a big deal for me anyway.
As for what others say, they have their own mouths, so they can say whatever they want. Anyway, you don't lose any more meat.
She went back home and processed two fish, mainly because she was afraid that if she didn't cook enough, Lu Yichen wouldn't have enough to eat. After all, people had sent her so much firewood. In fact, she wanted to say that it was not necessary, as she could really handle it.
But after saying it several times, Lu Yichen thought that he didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so he just let him go. As a courtesy, he could only make some food and send it over to repay the favor.
