Chapter 119 Going down the river to save people
Today's meal is quite rich, with eight dishes, stir-fried chicken offal with sour beans, braised pork offal, green vegetables and eggplant with peppers and celery, stir-fried pork belly with black fungus, stir-fried lean meat with mushrooms, stewed pig's trotters with soybeans, and stewed potato soup with large bones.
These dishes are considered to be the best of their farming family’s cuisine. You can’t get such good food at home.
Everyone had a great appetite and started eating with the steamed buns in their bowls.
These steamed buns are a mixture of white flour and buckwheat flour. Wang Ronghua made a lot, so we have enough for today.
After all, we only have one meal a day, so we must eat well and have enough at noon.
Everyone started eating and drinking immediately, and Zhao Shimin prepared some dishes and brought them to Zhao Shiying.
"Little sister, it's time to eat. Let's eat in the kitchen." Zhao Shimin carried Zhao Shiying onto a stool and handed her a steamed bun.
"Sister, you eat too." Zhao Shiying nodded. She liked pig's trotters.
Zhao Shimin touched her younger sister's head and sat down to eat.
Wang Ronghua also came in at this time.
"After dinner, Shimin, remember to take Nannan out to play for a while, but not too long. Cut the grass while you're at it, and then go when the sun isn't so strong." After saying this, Wang Ronghua washed her hands and went to eat.
"Yes, I understand, mother." Zhao Shimin nodded.
After eating, the men didn’t rest much, but went to build the workshop. After all, they had good food, so they couldn’t be lazy.
The villagers are relatively simple and honest, and never do things in a dishonest way.
After Zhao Shiying woke up from her nap, Zhao Shimin took her out to play, but she only carried a backpack on her back and held a sickle in her hand.
The other hand was holding the three-year-old cute baby Zhao Shiying.
As soon as the two of them walked into the village, they saw Zhao Daya coming out with a group of little kids. She also carried a basket on her back, but the basket contained a sickle and a bundle of ropes.
"Shimin, where are you going?" Zhao Daya was very happy to see Zhao Shimin.
"I'm going to cut some grass and take my little sister out to play for a while." Zhao Shimin responded with a smile. After all, she was very happy to see her friends playing well.
"Haha...that's a coincidence. I'm going to collect grass for the pigs. Let's go together." Zhao Daya said.
"Okay, those little rascals want to go too?" Zhao Shimin looked at the people behind Zhao Daya and asked.
"I didn't bring them here. We just happened to meet them. Let's leave them alone and go." Zhao Daya said happily, holding Zhao Shimin's hand and walking forward.
And those little rascals: “….” They felt abandoned, even though what others said made sense.
But how can they be willing to do this?
So Zhao Shimin, Zhao Daya and Zhao Shiying walked happily in front.
Following behind was a group of little rascals with serious yet innocent faces.
When they arrived at the river, the three of them discovered a group of tails behind them.
"Yeah~ Why are they following us?" Zhao Shimin looked behind her in surprise.
Zhao Daya frowned, she saw it too.
But Zhao Shiying was very happy, hehe~someone was playing with her.
"Hey, why are you following us? Go back quickly." Zhao Daya shouted loudly.
The group of little rascals were a little scared, after all, they seldom came to the river.
So he stopped and looked at Zhao Daya with a puzzled expression.
Among them, a brave little fat boy said unconvincedly, "Why can you leave but we can't? Can't we come here to play too?"
Zhao Daya: “….”
"Hey! I asked you to go back for your own good. The riverside is very dangerous and none of us can swim. What if we fall in?" Zhao Shimin said unhappily.
"It's none of your business. We're just here to have fun." The little fat boy was very unconvinced.
"Little Fatty, come here!" Zhao Shiying wrinkled her face and pointed at the little fat boy rudely.
The little fat boy was unconsciously frightened by Zhao Shiying's momentum and took a big step back.
He knocked down the person behind him, and the person behind him stepped back, leaving the little kid behind who had no idea what was happening no time to react and was directly crushed, creating a domino effect like dominoes.
Then, someone fell into the river with a "bang".
"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~~~" Someone cried instantly. The skinny little kid who fell into the river cried twice and then was choked, struggling in the water.
This scared everyone.
"Help come quickly, someone fell into the river." Zhao Shimin shouted instantly, and then ran over holding her little sister's hand.
"Zhao Daya also ran over and shouted, "Help! Someone fell into the river."
The other little kids were now scared and fell to the side crying. Their cries were deafening; they must have been very frightened.
Zhao Shiying was stunned. She just called the little fat boy over, why did a large group of people fall down and someone even fell into the river?
This is none of her business!
But human life is at stake, and she doesn't want any accidents to happen.
Suddenly I saw a bundle of ropes in Zhao Daya's backpack.
"Sister, take down Sister Daya's rope and tie it around my waist. Tie it tightly, and I will jump down to save him." Zhao Shiying showed her extremely smart side at this moment.
"No, you can't swim, so you can't go." Zhao Shimin refused. If anything happened to her younger sister, she would not be able to go home and explain to her mother.
"But we can't let him drown. Besides, tie me up with a rope. You and Sister Daya hold the rope together. I will definitely be fine." This was the only method Zhao Shiying could think of now. She had limited tools at hand, so this was the only way.
Zhao Daya and Zhao Shimin quickly helped Zhao Shiying tie her up. The knot was so tight that Zhao Shiying couldn't loosen it at all.
The shouting here did not attract everyone's attention because the river was a bit far from the road.
Seeing that the skinny boy's head was about to sink, Zhao Shiying dived into the water without saying a word.
As soon as she entered the water, she seemed to be born to swim. She stretched out her legs and hands naturally, then swam forward with all her strength while maintaining her body balance. She seemed to like the water very much.
It's just that she seemed to have forgotten the rhythm of breathing.
In a few seconds, she reached the skinny boy. Just as the skinny boy was about to sink, Zhao Shiying grabbed his hair and pulled him up, and with her other hand she grabbed one of his arms.
But the arm was a little big, and Zhao Shiying couldn’t grab it with her hands.
I accidentally choked on the water several times.
Zhao Shimin was terrified watching by the river.
Zhao Shiying simply changed her grip on the man's arms to hugging his body, and then desperately shouted, "Pull the rope."
Zhao Shimin had been paying attention to this side. When she saw Zhao Shiying approaching the thin boy, her whole body tensed up, ready to pull the rope at any time. After receiving Zhao Shiying's order, Zhao Shimin hurriedly exerted force.
'Daya, pull the rope quickly.'
The two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly pulled the rope in their hands.
Zhao Shiying had already drunk several mouthfuls of river water by now.
She was floating up and down, mainly because she was holding a person who was heavier than her. It was really painful!
