Mingzhu's heart was pounding. It seemed unreasonable to live in this era but not know how to draw water from a well.

But she doesn’t know how to do anything else, but she knows how to make nonsense!

Mingzhu explained without blushing: "When I was born, some people said that I had a strong affinity with water and would be easily troubled by water. Therefore, my grandparents never let me fetch water when they were alive. Grandpa always did this at home." I made it with my aunt.”

Sure enough, Jiang Duo withdrew his scrutinizing gaze after hearing this explanation.

He stepped forward and took the rope from Mingzhu's hand. His tall body stood there, making Mingzhu next to him look smaller and slimmer, and invisibly blocked her from the scorching dusk light.

I saw Jiang Duo holding the rope and swinging it toward the well, and the bucket sank to the bottom.

Pearl: "..."

Eyes: Got it.

Hand: Get out!

With a tug of his strong arm, Jiang Duo easily lifted up a bucket of water, and then replaced it with another bucket.

After finishing the two buckets of water, Mingzhu took the initiative to carry the pole forward, hooked the two buckets, squatted down and put the pole on her shoulders, but——

Abandoned!

Are these two buckets of water so heavy? Her thin shoulders couldn't be lifted at all!

Seeing the little woman's delicate and sweet face turn red instantly, Jiang Duo frowned. His little wife who was about to get married was really too weak to take care of herself.

Jiang Duo bent down silently, holding a bucket in one hand, turned around and walked towards Mingzhu's house with long strides——

Mingzhu was stunned, and when she came to her senses, she hurriedly picked up the pole and trotted after him. However, she saw Jiang Duo carrying two buckets and walking like flying, and she couldn't catch up with him!

Tsk, this big guy didn’t grow in vain, a young and strong rough man looks really good!

Jiang Duo went straight into the courtyard. The small courtyard that was still messy at noon had been cleaned up. The messy firewood was tied into bundles and neatly placed in the corner. The originally dusty windows were wiped clean. …

It seems that she has been busy this afternoon.

He entered the house. Although the kitchen was simple, it had been tidied up. After seeing the location of the water tank, Jiang Duo walked over and poured the water in.

The water tank is not small and can hold at least four buckets of water.

He looked back at Mingzhu, "You stay at home, I'll go get water two more times."

Mingzhu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Duo had just taken two steps out. When he heard those words of thanks, he unconsciously turned back and glanced at Mingzhu...

They say she is unreasonable, but isn't she... quite well-behaved and sensible?

I don't know if it was just a pretense or true nature, Jiang Duo darkened his eyes, and then left with the bucket.

Mingzhu noticed the look in his eyes just now and frowned in confusion. Why was this man acting so strange?

After looking at the sunset, I had to prepare dinner, but there was no flour or rice at home. The staple food was either sweet potatoes or corn tortillas.

Thinking of the little skills her grandmother had taught her in making cornmeal pancakes, Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and grabbed two handfuls of soybeans from the small jar and soaked them in water.

Afterwards, she carried a small white porcelain basin to the cellar...

Thinking of what happened here in the morning, her cheeks were burning. She had been busy all afternoon and was embarrassed to say that her legs were still sore!

Unable to think any more, Mingzhu quickly took a few potatoes and came out.

A few minutes later, the potatoes were washed, peeled and shredded, put in a basin, soaked in water, and then processed the fish caught in the afternoon.

When Jiang Duo came back with water for the second time, he saw Mingzhu squatting in the corner of the courtyard, holding a knife in her hand and staring at the fish in the basin. He hesitated to start. He thought she couldn't carry it with her shoulders, so she should I don’t dare to kill fish.

He put down the water and walked over. Just when he was about to help her, he saw the little woman quickly and neatly remove the scales from the fish, raised the knife in her hand and slashed open the fish's belly——

Jiang Duo's steps suddenly stopped.

Unknown to someone behind her, Mingzhu is still carefully handling the fish's internal organs. She is a very good emergency doctor. She is not good at anything else, but things related to anatomy are not difficult for her. She is very good at handling chickens, ducks and fish!

Realizing that there was a shadow behind her, Mingzhu looked back and saw that Jiang Duo was back. A sweet smile appeared on her face: "Is the water tank full? You are really awesome. If I had to fetch water by myself, at least It’ll take an hour!”

Jiang Duo: "..."

With such a smile, she looks more like a fifteen or sixteen year old girl.

He suddenly had the illusion that...if he married her, he would be a beast!

Jiang Duo was not good at communicating with others, but he still had to ask questions clearly. He walked over, half-crouched on one knee by the basin, and stretched out his hand to help.

Mingzhu took the opportunity to pull the basin to her hand and said: "Don't get involved, I will do this. You go and sit in the house for a while. There is water in the kettle. If you want to drink, you can pour it yourself. I won't go out with you." ”

Jiang Duo didn't move. He raised his eyes and looked at her. After a moment of silence, he said, "I ask you a question. I don't mean to pick on you. I just want to get married. There are certain procedures that must be completed."

Mingzhu didn't think much about it, she just thought she understood the situation before marriage, nodded and said cheerfully: "You ask."

"I heard... your grandma is a capitalist lady?"

Hearing this, Mingzhu frowned. This was indeed the case in the original owner's memory, but not many people knew about it.

"Who told you that?"

"Village chief, he just talked to me and mentioned this matter."

Mingzhu thought it might be more than just a conversation. After all, at noon today, Ming Xiaojie's performance was very obvious - she liked Jiang Duo.

The village chief is clearly sowing discord!

Mingzhu's originally delicate little face showed a bit of sullenness, "Yes, my grandma used to be like this, but my great-grandfather was the first to devote himself to the country. In order to support the country, he donated all his family property. I Grandma became a field nurse at the age of 17 and saved countless people! As for my grandfather and father... they both sacrificed their lives, but they were both heroes until the last moment!"

Having said that, Mingzhu is not an unreasonable person. She looked at Jiang Duo and said, "If you think my background is not worthy of you, then let's call it quits on our marriage."

Her sonorous and powerful words fell on Jiang Duo's heart word by word.

How could her family not be worthy of him?

It was because he never knew the situation of Mingzhu's family, which made her worry too much.

When Mingzhu saw that the man in front of her was silent, she washed the fish blood on her hands carelessly, stood up and said, "I'll get the bride price for you."

Seeing this, Jiang Duo suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Mingzhu's wrist. Even without using any force, he could easily hold Mingzhu in place, unable to move.

With a sullen face, he looked at the impatient little girl in front of him, frowned and said in a dull tone: "My marriage to you has nothing to do with your background!"

Mingzhu raised her eyebrows. Did he want to say that he didn't look down on her background? Or... don't care about this?

But if you don't care, why do you ask?

...Although, this sentence is inexplicably like a coaxing love talk.

Hmm, not so sure.

Mingzhu looked at Jiang Duo, who was serious, and suddenly thought of teasing him. A smile appeared on her lips, and she asked with a delicate smile: "So? Captain Jiang, don't you mention the key points? Do you want me or not?"
