Lin Shen felt movement behind him and glanced sideways.

finally come.

He knew that Lin Jiaojiao would come to fetch water after she returned, and the men in her family could fetch several buckets of water.

So when he returned, he suppressed his emotions when he saw his mother's husband and brothers waiting for him to come back to work.

Bear with me any longer.

By the time he finished his work, it was almost time for dinner. He quickly took his bucket and went to the well to fetch water, but unfortunately he didn't find any.

He thought that Lin Jiaojiao had come to fetch water after she returned, after all, she was such a hardworking and capable person.

Because the little bit of water he fetched before mealtime was not enough, after finishing his meal and cleaning up the stove, he would try his luck again with a bucket.

This was the fifth bucket of water he had fetched and also the last bucket of water for the day. He thought he would never meet again.

Fortunately, she came.

Lin Jiaojiao stood behind Lin Shen with an embarrassed look on her face. What was going on? They could even meet like this.

What a poor man, he has to fetch water for his home so late.

After Lin Shen drew water, he stepped aside with the bucket in his hand. Lin Jiaojiao stepped forward, picked up the wooden bucket tied to the side of the well, threw it into the well, and began to pull it up.

She knew Lin Shen hadn't left yet, but she didn't dare look back to see what was going on.

She can only be an emotionless water pump now.

"Lin Jiaojiao."

Lin Jiaojiao was caught off guard by the shout from the person behind her and was so frightened that she loosened her grip and the bucket she had just pulled up fell back into the water with a splashing sound.

She froze, straightened up and turned around.

Looking at Lin Shen, who was half a head taller than her, she felt extremely pressured. She didn't dare to look him in the eye and quickly lowered her head and pretended to tidy up her clothes.

"What's up?"

Lin Shen's eyes dimmed, and he began to think that she was interested in him. But, how could she be attracted to him when he was so ugly?

He took out two cents from his pocket and paused as he handed it over.

In the dim vision, he saw that the person in front of him had his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin.

My heart skipped a beat.

Lin Jiaojiao blinked as she looked at the two cents handed to her. Why should she give her money?

"This is?"

Lin Shen came back to his senses, listened to the puzzled voice of the woman in front of him, and explained: "The taxi fare."

Car money?

Lin Jiaojiao suddenly felt embarrassed, looked up at him and said, "No, I already told you it's your treat, you really don't need it."

It made her feel like she was being forced to buy something.

However, Lin Shen just stared at her without saying a word or reaching his hand back.

Lin Jiaojiao's scalp tingled from being stared at, so she had no choice but to reach out and take the two cents.

When she was about to touch the two cents, the other party stretched his hand back. She was immediately puzzled?

Just teasing her.

Lin Shen put the money back into his pocket and said in a deep voice, "Okay, then call me next time you go to the city. I'll treat you."

Without waiting for Lin Jiaojiao's answer, he picked up the bucket and turned away.

Lin Jiaojiao was left standing in the darkness, bewildered.

What does he mean?

Seeing that it was getting darker, Lin Jiaojiao put the matter behind her without giving it any further thought.

She quickly fetched the water first.

After two trips back and forth to fetch four buckets of water, it was already completely dark and without a light, she didn't dare to go out.

After all, she is just a little girl and is also afraid of the dark.

On the third day of her arrival, she had exchanged ten points for a small bedside lamp. It was only the size of a palm and the light was very dim, but it was just right for her. She placed the lamp at the innermost part, and the window outside could not tell that there was any light inside.

And it's solar-powered, which made her feel very relieved. If nothing unexpected happens, these ten points can be used until old age.

There was an oil lamp left on the table in the main room, which was also her mandatory requirement.

It gets dark later in summer, around the time of Xu.

People here go to bed almost as soon as it gets dark, but she is a modern person and can't fall asleep so early.

So she made six oil lamps, one for each room, one in the main room, and one in the kitchen.

She glanced at Lin Yiyan's room which was still lit, picked up the oil lamp on the table and went to the toilet.

She also exchanged toilet paper, but she was the only one using it. It’s not that she didn’t want to share it, but she was too embarrassed to ask for it. Should she say to them, “Use this to wipe your butts?”

It’s hard to say, this good thing is only for her.

After finishing the big thing, he washed his hands with the clean water in the wooden barrel next to the door, picked up the oil lamp on the ground and walked towards the kitchen.

A pot full of hot water, Yizhi is really a caring little cotton jacket.

He filled two buckets of warm water, picked up the handkerchief and walked towards Lin Yizhi's room.

"knocking"

She put down the barrel, knocked on the door gently, and then asked softly.

"Yizhi, are you asleep?"

After a while, there was a sound in the room, the door was slowly opened, and a soft voice sounded softly.

"My dear wife, you are here. Come in quickly."

After saying that, he picked up the oil lamp in the room, borrowed light from the oil lamp in the main room, led Lin Jiaojiao to the back of the screen partition, and put down the oil lamp.

"My dear wife, take your time to wash. I will go to my brother's room for a while."

"Thank you, Yizhi."

Lin Yizhi went out and closed the door, then walked to Lin Yiyan's room next door, knocked on the door, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, can I come in?"

A light flashed through the gap under the door, the door was opened, and Lin Yizhi walked in sideways.

Lin Yiyan was sitting on a bench in front of the window, sewing a piece of navy blue linen in her hands.

"Brother, I'm making clothes for my wife."

Lin Yizhi walked to the other side of the table and sat down, supporting his face with his hands.

"I'm going to make a blue one for my wife. I wonder if she likes it."

Seeing that his brother ignored him, he felt very bored and walked to the dressing table next to him and looked at the closed jewelry box on it.

"Brother, can I open it and take a look?"

He remembered that his brother had a lot of jewelry, but none of them were as beautiful as the one his wife gave him today.

It was a while before I heard a response.

"Ah."

Lin Yizhi carefully opened the box and saw the items inside through the dim light.

There is only the jewelry that Lin Jiaojiao gave me today.

Maybe he remembered it wrongly. The jewelry his wife gave him was so beautiful. He picked up the most beautiful hairpin and couldn't let it go.

Lin Yiyan looked at the box in front of Lin Yizhizi, slightly distracted.

"Look at how poor he looks. I thought he was so handsome under his veil. I don't know why my cousin likes him so much."

Lin Yiyan had just finished learning embroidery and put on a veil to go home. As soon as she came out of the school, she was pulled into a corner by two men.

The leading man wore a pink brocade robe with a golden and red feather cloak over it, and a plain gauze veil on his head, his face was vaguely visible.

Following behind him was a man wearing a blue satin dress, with his hair combed short, and no veil on his head. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he came up and lifted his veil, looking very aggressive.

Listening to the sarcastic voice of the nobleman in front of him, he frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him and looked pitiful, the young man got so angry that he reached out and pulled off the hairpin on the head of the person in front of him and threw it to the ground. Not satisfied yet, he stepped on it.

"Brother? What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yizhi called a few times but no one responded, so he turned around and found that the person was in a daze.

Lin Yiyan came back to his senses and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"

When Lin Yizhi saw his brother asking this, he felt even more embarrassed, and the dim light made his cheeks slightly red.

"That's it, brother, do you think my wife likes me?"

Lin Yiyan looked at his younger brother with a blushing face and stammering voice, and smiled dotingly.

"Then do you like her?"
