After late June, the days are as hot as the day.

The weather this year is really weird. It is extremely cold in winter and there is another flood after the Dragon Boat Festival. By this summer, it will be much hotter than in previous years.

The world seems to have become a melting pot, putting everything inside and stewing.

When every household is worried that the water in the fields will be dried up, they will send people to the fields to guard the gap to release water. If the families located on the tail want to fill the fields, they must fill the fields of other families passing by on the way to drain the fields, at least half of them before it is their turn.

Gu Qiao suddenly felt fortunate that his family did not have the fields downstream, otherwise he would have been guarding the fields on the ridges of the fields all day long, which would have been a deadly task.

But in the same way, she and Shen Wan had to go to the fields from time to time, and also prevent others from helping her house to drain the traffic when they were released. Instead, they opened a hole to put her house in their own fields.

After a few days of this, the two girls tanned.

"Sister Qiao'er, it's a blessing that many of the fields have planted sweet potatoes, otherwise the fields will be even more difficult to keep." Chen Wan said with gratitude.

"That's right!"

The two sisters looked at each other and then quickly fetched water by the well, preparing to carry the water into the house to take a shower.

My clothes were soaked in sweat during the day and my body was sticky. At night, I had to take a shower before I could sleep.

"I envy boys so much. They can go down the river to swim. The river water has been sunburned in the daytime. The temperature is just right. It is not as cold as well as well. It also takes some firewood to burn hot water to mix it."

Gu Qiao had to boil water and take a bath every day, and the four women in the family had to take turns to wash one by one. Every night she waited so hard that she yawned and felt very troublesome.

"That's right, brother and others can still do some water in the river. The river is spacious and much more comfortable than when we wash at home." Chen Wan also looked envious.

"Why don't we go to the river to wash?" Mrs. Gu suggested.

"Is that OK?" Gu Qiao was moved.

"Yes, but I can only get it at night. The women in the village who don't have a well at home made an appointment to go to the river to take a bath together at night. However, the river water was cold at night, and everyone had no choice but to go there. I was afraid that you would be afraid of the cold, so I didn't mention it. But this year, it was so hot that people couldn't breathe. The river water was warmer than the well water. Maybe we can try it." Mrs. Gu preached.

"Then let's go tonight!" Gu Qiao immediately put down the bucket.

"The water has been prepared." Mrs. Gu smiled.

"Isn't this burning yet? Grandma, let's try it? Also, will you please teach me if you can do it!"

"Okay, okay, Mei Gu, pack your clothes, let's make an appointment with your aunt and go to the river together." Mrs. Gu ordered.

"Okay." Mei Gu was a little reluctant, but after seeing the longing expression on the faces of the two children, she couldn't bear to refuse.

After a cup of tea, the five people came to the river.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and only a crescent moon was left hanging in the air.

The silver light of the moon pours into the river, reflecting the shimmering waves of the river, which is very beautiful.

"Mom, no one else can see this, right?" Mei immediately turned around and looked around.

Before Mrs. Gu answered, Liu hurriedly said, "No, look, there are other families in the river. You should know that all the families have women and children, so men have agreed that they will not go down the river at night."

"Oh." Mei then felt relieved.

"Not afraid." Mrs. Gu grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

It seems that Gu Quan left a deep psychological shadow on Mei's family, so Mei's family is still extremely cautious in this regard.

The two children were very happy and had already gone into the water, took off their shoes and socks and stepped on the water.

"Come here, there is a deep pool over there, and the water here is relatively shallow. Let's be in the shallow water, don't go to that deep place." Mrs. Gu hurriedly shouted.

"Yes." Chen Wan immediately responded obediently.

"Oh, aunt, are you here to take a shower too?" The woman who came early in the village immediately asked.

"Yes!" Mrs. Gu smiled and answered, put the wooden basin on the river beach, and then asked Gu Qiao and the others to take off their clothes.

The two little girls took off their clothes and left their inner clothes, like two birds that took off, and immediately got into the water.

They had tried the temperature just now, so they became unscrupulous at this time. Gu Qiao even mischievously poured water on Chen Wan's body.

The little girl's crisp laughter as bright as a silver bell immediately spread across the river.

...

On the way home, Gu Qiao rubbed her wet hair with a veil while happily booking tomorrow's itinerary, "Grandma, can we come tomorrow night?"

"Oh, Qiao'er is addicted to Fushuifu?" Liu said with a smile.

"Since I decided to learn, I only learned a little today, so I naturally can't give up halfway." Gu Qiao replied.

Several people went home with a chat and laugh.

Chen Zhao was in the kitchen to recite the book. He heard the sound and quickly walked to the door of the kitchen. He saw a few people entering the door talking and laughing. He felt relieved and smiled slightly.

"Brother, I'm going to be in the water today!" Chen Wan happily shared with Shen Zhao.

The night gradually became deeper and the moon rose to mid-air, shining on this small courtyard.

The days passed by little by little as the stream flowed.

*

On this day, Chen Zhao was on vacation, and Gu Qiao and the others went to the field early in the morning to pluck edamame and cook it into the pot.

Chen Zhao took the hatchet and was about to go out, Gu Qiao hurriedly called him: "You can go chop wood after the edamame is cooked, so that you can still eat edamame on the way."

"No, I'll go early and go back early." Chen Zhao said and left the door.

Since he had become a man at home, he has given him firewood, so whenever he is on vacation, he will go up the mountain to chop firewood.

Gu Qiao knew that he would go to the Taoyuan Secret Realm to look for medicine again, and it took time to go back and forth, so he suggested that he bring edamame with him.

It was not until the afternoon that Chen Zhao came back.

Gu Qiao hurried to the yard to help remove the pile of firewood on him, and then looked at the medicinal materials he hung on the firewood, a little confused.

"Is there something wrong with that place?" Gu Qiao used "that place" to refer to the "Taoyuan Secret Realm" they both mentioned.

"Hmm?" Chen Zhao was puzzled.

"It's nothing. I just think that the medicine you have picked these few times seems to be less than usual, and the medicinal materials are also very sparse and ordinary."

Chen Zhao's body stiffened and his lips tightened a little.

Gu Qiao waved his hand quickly and explained: "Don't get me wrong. I don't want your money. I'm just curious, purely curious."

Chen Zhao said that there are many rare medicinal materials in the Taoyuan Secret Realm, but she has not seen rare varieties at all these times, so she has this question, worried that the last mountain torrent would have an impact on the secret realm.

"I know." Chen Zhao nodded and said again, "I'm covered in sweat, so I'll go to the river first."

"Oh, then you go."
