Chapter 282 This kid has thin skin

r for a day. Now that every household has access to clean water, his family is still parched.After the village had clean water, although the Zong family hadn't gotten to drink it yet, they no longer d...Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Liu trembled all over, but they were ultimately no match for their patriarch's authority. They slunk away, defeated.

Fang Jinshi thought about what had just happened and gave Wang Cunzhang a look.

"Uncle Wang, come to my place for a while and have some water. There's something I want to talk to you about."

Village Chief Wang thought she was here to discuss the grain seeds in Old Zong's hands, but actually, having him leave made him a little nervous. He didn't even know where to find grain seeds if he wanted to.

Even with the harvest season approaching, he still wants to get his hands on it.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have laughed. He knew Old Zong was hot-tempered and would lose face if he found out earlier.

Out of control!

Village Head Wang nodded to Fang Jinshi, then turned to his son Tie Zhu and instructed him.

You're here watching the pond, waiting for it to fill up with water then open the gate and divert the dirty water into the village fields.

"Today, let's not give them water. Let the pond settle overnight, and tomorrow morning, after cleaning it up, we can let everyone come to get water."

Iron Pillar nodded.

"I understand, Father. Please go and talk to Sister Jinxiu."

Behind the crowd, there was a sneaky figure lurking. The water canal dug up in the village was a big deal, and Chunlan had also come over.

But Fang Jinxiu and her whole family were there. Seeing Xiaoyue and Jinyu standing behind her, and that they had put on new clothes so quickly, from head to toe clean and tidy.

Then she looked at herself, having just left Fang Jinshu's house a few days ago, her whole body was covered in dirt, almost like a beggar, and her hair was tangled.

She didn't go directly, waiting until she was gone before quietly approaching Wang Tiezhu.

Chunlan felt she had been right all along. This pond was incredibly important to the whole village now, and she was in charge of it!

As long as she gets closer to Iron Pillar, she won't have to worry about running out of water in the future.

Chunlan quickly tidied herself up, trying to wipe her face clean and make herself look paler.

Just as he was about to go forward and talk to Wang Tiezhu, the menacing Zong Yu walked over.

"Tiezhu, your sister-in-law said to have all of you come over for dinner at my place tonight, including your mother."

Tie Zhu heard this and was so excited that his mouth watered.

He was lucky enough to have a meal at Zong Yu's house once. Their food is really delicious, and even when there wasn't a drought, other people couldn't eat the same food as on Zong Yu's table.

It's not that the ingredients are particularly rare or precious; they are all common, everyday ingredients.

But it's really delicious, and the way it's prepared is very diverse, all of which he had never seen before.

Last time Zongyu gave him a roujiamo, that taste, Tiezhu still remembers it to this day.

He happily walked up, passing right by Chunlan without even seeing her standing there.

His eyes seemed like only filled with steamed buns.

"Hey hey, Zong Yu ge, will there be rou jia mo for dinner tonight"

Zongyu was taken aback. "Your sister-in-law said that was breakfast, not dinner."

Actually, he quite enjoys rou jia mo too. This type of noodle dish has a lot of fatty and lean pork belly that is stewed until very tender and flavorful, paired with chopped green peppers, cilantro, and scallions. The taste is truly exceptional.

It's very convenient to bring food when you go out.

Originally, Zong Yu wasn't picky at all about his food. Now, he won't even touch the vegetable patties made by Zong Bai.

Every time his wife said she wanted to try something new, he wouldn't say anything out loud, but in his heart, he was more excited than anyone else.

When Tiezhu heard there was no roujiamo, his face couldn't help but show some disappointment.

"No, that's true. It's just for survival after all."

He looked over at Chang He, “Chang He, you’re coming tonight too, right Is your mother doing better now”

"Last time I saw Mrs. Wang able to walk near her front door."

Speaking of this river, I feel happy. The medicine he got from Sister Jinxiu really worked. In just a few days, his mother's spirit and energy improved significantly compared to before.

But she's still far from being able to move around freely. Last time, it was probably because her mother lying down was unbearable, so she came out for some fresh air and happened to be seen by Brother Tiezhu.

"No, Tie Zhu ge, my sister-in-law just called me too, but my mother can't travel that far right now. I'll eat at home."

Zongyu looked over, "I'll bring some dishes back to your place later, your sister-in-law prepared them for you."

Long He blushed and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Tiezhu bumped him, "Your face is so thin! Why are you blushing when you take back some dishes"on of the main branch of the Zong family and wouldn't immediately turn his back on her.Now it seems, she really overestimated the humanity of those two old geezers."Sister Yan'er, please don't worry f...
