Inside Shuiqiao Village.

Su Cai'er looked at the little firewood left at home and frowned with some sadness.

If this continues, there will be no firewood tonight...

She wanted to go up the mountain to chop wood.

The hatchets are all sharpened...

I am also afraid that everyone will see my eyes when I go out.

I used to live in the village just to survive.

She didn't care too much.

The people in the village scolded her and said unpleasant things, and they wanted to drive her away.

She felt she could accept it.

But now.

But she was afraid that her eyes would affect her husband.

People are always like this.

When you are alone, you have no worries and are not afraid of anything.

I just want to move forward bravely.

But once you have someone to protect, you will start to become timid.

Many considerations.

Su Cai'er is in such a mood right now.

"I told my husband tomorrow that we can go to the mountains to chop wood again."

"Today I'd better go to the river first and continue to pick up some firewood before coming back..."

make up one's mind.

Su Cai'er took the clothes to be washed and started looking for some untravelled roads to the river.

Generally, during Chen hour, the riverside is the most crowded.

After Chen hour, many people have to go back and cook their first meal.

There will be relatively fewer people.

Su Cai'er carried the wooden basin and arrived at the river.

First, let’s wash all the dirty clothes we changed last night.

After washing, put the clothes in the tub.

I picked up a small stick of firewood nearby.

Near the river, there are some small twigs or dried grass.

These firewood are not burned.

Burn it twice in the stove and it's gone.

Su Cai'er thought, then she should pick up more.

Wait until you come to your senses.

I have already collected a lot of firewood.

I guess it's enough to cook two meals.

She was ready to tie up all the firewood and take it back.

I chose a few similar straw poles and stepped on firewood branches with my little feet.

Tie them tightly.

After tying them up, the little girl wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"My husband is almost back, so we have to go back and cook."

He turned around and looked at the place where he put his clothes, only to see that he had been so absorbed in collecting firewood just now.

An old lady came by the river.

She was twisting the sheets at home.

The aunt twisted the sheets by herself until they were not dry enough.

Seeing Su Cai'er, she shouted happily.

"Hey, which family are you from?"

"Come and help auntie twist the sheets, okay?"

Su Caier looked around.

There is no one else by the river...

She had no choice but to lower her head and walk slowly over.

Not daring to look at the aunt in front of me, she helped pick up the other side of the sheet.

The aunt quickly started twisting it.

Looking at Su Cai'er opposite, her eyebrows were lowered.

The long eyelashes look like they are curved and raised.

I thought to myself that this little girl is really pretty.

So while she was twisting, she chatted enthusiastically with Su Cai'er.

"Are you that, the new daughter-in-law of Zhao Ce's family?"

"Last night your family gave my little grandson a piece of lard residue. He was very happy for a long time."

"Hey, what's your name? Which village are you from?"

"how old are you?"

Su Cai'er listened to her rapid-fire chatter.

I didn't dare to answer too much.

He just whispered: "Auntie, the sheets are twisted."

"I have to go."

The voice was small and sweet.

Look at Su Caier holding a wooden basin and carrying a large bundle of firewood.

That small body looks thin and small.

The aunt hugged her wooden basin and walked over quickly.

He couldn't help but said enthusiastically: "Come, aunt will help you take it back."

"Otherwise you wouldn't be able to hold so many."

The wooden basin in his hand was taken away at once.

Su Cai'er subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at the person in front of her.

Just a glance.

She quickly lowered her eyes.

He said quietly: "Thank you so much, auntie."

"I can do it myself."

After finishing speaking, no reply was heard.

Su Cai'er didn't dare to raise her eyes again.

He grabbed his own wooden basin.

I didn't even care about the firewood on the ground.

Flustered, he quickened his pace and limped away.

The aunt came back to her senses.

His face was full of shock.

"Oh my god, what did I see?"

"Could it be that I'm dazzled?"

She hugged her wooden basin and followed Su Cai'er from a distance.

Saw her walking with a limp.
