Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: I held you when you were a child

 It was said that Wei Shuang and Wei Jingshu were going to fetch water, but in the end it was Wei Jingshu and Wei Yu who went.

 Le'er woke up crying several times last night and was not feeling better until the morning. Wei Shuang did not sleep well at night, so she was calmer in the morning and fell into a deep sleep.

 Wei Jingshu followed Wei Yu silently, carrying two empty buckets.

 The water in the village had to be fetched from the spring halfway up the mountain. The mountain road was rugged, and the soles of the shoes on her feet were so thin after six months of wear and tear that it was painful to step on the stones.

 Wei Yu looked back from time to time: "Second sister, why don't you go back? I'll carry half a bucket at a time, and a few trips will be enough."

 Wei Jingshu nodded, but did not stop. Along the way, many families came to fetch water to drink, and they were all men from their families.

 Wei Yu couldn't persuade Wei Jingshu, so he simply relaxed his mind and shared with everyone he met: "Uncle, my second sister is not stupid."

 "Aunt, my second sister is very strong. She can knock down a wall with one punch."

 From being shy and tactful at the beginning to holding her head high and chest out later, she looked like a proud and arrogant person. If someone questioned her, she would not get angry, but just retorted: "My second sister, of course I know best, and I don't need you to believe it."

 In Wei Yu's praise, Wei Jingshu unconsciously raised the corners of her lips, took out a nutrient solution from the mecha and threw it to Wei Yu: "Reward for you."

 Wei Yu couldn't wait to pull the stopper and pour it into his mouth, and asked vaguely: "Second sister, where did you get the water? It tastes good."

 The nutrient solution tastes good? Not as good as yesterday's vegetable soup!

 She smiled at Wei Yu: "If you like it, I will give it to you every day."

 The two went out a little late, and there were already several people queuing at the place where they were getting water.

 Wei Jingshu handed the bucket to Wei Yu and asked Wei Yu to line up. She turned around and climbed up the slope. After walking a flat road, she saw large tracts of forest.

 The trees were straight up to the sky, with distinct tree patterns. Although they were not as beautiful as the artificial wood in the StarCraft, they had a unique fragrance of grass and wood, which was unique to natural wood.

 She squatted beside the tree, gesturing with her hands, and finally fixed on one of the positions, took out a knife and cut a hole there.

 "Second sister, come and get water." Wei Yu called by the spring. After Wei Jingshu noted the location, she went to the spring.

 The spring here was dug by the villagers together. It was semicircular, with the straight side slightly lower than the curved side. A row of flush stones were laid for standing and getting water. A

 row of grass and trees grew on the curved side, blocking the impurities falling from the mountain, but the withered grass and trees fell into the spring water when the wind blew.

 No one cared about this. They scooped water from the scoop hanging beside the spring, filled two buckets with water, and carried it on a shoulder pole, staggering down the mountain.

 Wei Jingshu also filled two buckets with water, carrying one bucket in each hand, but her steps were steady and she was not panicked at all.

 "Second sister, what did you do just now?" Wei Yu said angrily, "The uncle and aunt who fetched water just now asked you and praised you." "

 I went to find a tree. Come to me with a knife in the evening. We will cut down the tree and take it home together to make a new table."

 Wei Yu said with a bitter face: "Second sister, no one in our family knows how to do carpentry work. Even if we cut down the tree and take it back, it will be useless."

 Wei Jingshu raised her head with a little pride: "I can do it!"

 Wei Yu said "Tsk", "Second sister, don't lie to me."

 "I really can do it." Wei Jingshu argued.

 She was born to fight against the Zerg. She has dedicated people to take care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, due to her own needs, she will learn a special manual technique to relieve the fatigue and psychological problems of fighting against the Zerg all year round.

 Wei Jingshu was chosen to work as a carpenter. She had systematically learned every step, from material selection to raw material processing, and then to some post-production processing.

 Wei Yu still didn't believe it, but she was afraid of discouraging her sister, so she promised to bring her a knife.

 After returning home, Li Rou had already prepared breakfast, but there was a big black spot under her eyes, and she looked listless. After

 eating, Wei Jingshu took Le'er from Li Rou. Strangely, the little guy started laughing happily again when he was in her hands.

 Wei Jingshu also smiled at the little guy and rubbed the soft flesh on the little guy's face in surprise. Li Rou said on the side: "A Shu, Le'er is still young, don't poke his face yet, wait until he grows up, then you can pinch him."

 Wei Jingshu immediately held Le'er and smiled at the happy little guy.

 But her sight quickly shifted to the place where Li Rou took the little guy to rest.

 The simple place made of two benches was even more embarrassing than Wei Jingshu's rest cabin alone. In addition, two people slept together, so it was no wonder that the little guy cried frequently.

 Wei Jingshu carried Le'er around the house. It was only about three or four meters wide and four or five meters long. The four people's food, clothing and shelter were all squeezed in here. If it weren't for the small room that was set aside as a kitchen, the life of the four people would be even more unimaginable.

 After careful consideration, Li Rou had already finished her meal. Wei Jingshu returned Le'er to Li Rou and instructed Wei Yu: "Go to Brother Tiezhu's house to change two pairs of shoes, and you and Xiaoshuang will each wear a pair. Don't go up the mountain today. Look after sister-in-law and Le'er at home. Watch the time and come to me with a knife."

 "Second sister, my sister and I are fine. Save the fish for sister-in-law to make soup." Wei Yu said hurriedly, and jumped in front of Wei Jingshu, indicating that the shoes could really be worn again.

 Li Rou also wanted to save the fish for the three of them, but the big and the small faced Wei Jingshu alone. Wei Jingshu clearly didn't say anything, but just gave a nonchalant look, but the big and the small felt an incomparable pressure.

 Wei Yu hurried to the kitchen to get the fish, but Wei Jingshu intercepted two of them on the way. She took a sickle and some ropes and set off.

 She first folded the rope in half and laid it horizontally on the ground, then put the rice that had been cut and piled up on the rope. Soon, she had a nice pile. She walked to the other side, picked up the rope and threw it on the rice, then walked over, holding one side in each hand, and tied the rice tightly.

 After work yesterday, Wei Jingshu saw someone tying up rice and taking it home, so she followed suit and brought the rope today.

 She tied the rest into a bundle, and when she turned around, she found that Aunt Wang was already busy.

 She immediately picked up the fish, stepped over a few ridges, and called out sweetly, "Auntie Wang."

 "Huh?" Auntie Wang stood up after a moment, looking at Wei Jingshu in surprise, "Shujie, you can talk now?"

 Liu Dazhu over there heard Auntie Wang's words, raised his head and said, "Auntie Wang, Shujie can talk, and she's smart. She caught a lot of fish at the entrance of the village yesterday, and the uncle praised her." Auntie Wang

 only then noticed the fish in Wei Jingshu's hand.

 The people around stopped working and gathered around.

 "Shujie, do you recognize me? I held you in my arms when you were a child."

 "Shujie, everything is fine at home. We can't do anything about your grandma, but if you have any difficulties, tell your uncle, and I will definitely help you if I can."
