Lin Tang looked at the marbled pork in the System Space and wanted to eat it!
But... there was no reason to take it out!
It was fortunate that the System Space had a preservation function; otherwise, she would have even more to worry about.
After worrying for a while, she closed the System Panel.
The weather today was strangely hot; it wasn't even summer yet, but the sun was scorching.
Sweat was constantly dripping while wearing spring clothes.
Thinking of her Parents and family still working in the fields, Lin Tang's brow furrowed slightly.
Considering that her family hadn't brought much water today, she decided to take some water to the fields.
Just as she entered the Kitchen, Lin Tang suddenly remembered the lemons that Third Brother brought back yesterday for her to play with.
After a brief thought, Lin Tang decided to make some sweet and sour lemon water to take over.
The lemons in the mountains were extremely sour; the moment they were cut open, the tartness made one's teeth ache.
Not a single old or young person in the village liked them.
Lin Tang washed and sliced the lemons, peeled and seeded them, and placed them in a basin.
Then, she added some White Sugar that Li Mu had carefully saved into the basin, and a simplified version of lemon water was ready.
After sitting for a while, the water in the basin turned a light yellow.
Lin Tang took a sip; it was sweet with a hint of sourness, sour with a hint of sweetness—the taste was acceptable.
She poured the water into a small Wooden Bucket and covered it with a lid.
After thinking for a moment, she grabbed two bowls and headed to the fields.
After her body was transformed, Lin Tang's strength gradually increased.
Her current strength surpassed that of an adult man.
Early yesterday morning, she was half-asleep and accidentally dismantled the house door.
At that time, the family members were so shocked their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Thinking of her Parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, and young nephews staring in shock while she held the door with one hand, Lin Tang wished yesterday could be redone.
She even suspected her mother stopped letting Gou Dan follow her because she was frightened by her...
It was... quite awkward.
It seemed difficult to maintain that soft Little fairy persona from now on, sigh!
Many people were working in the fields.
Sweat dripped from the Commune members' faces onto the ground, and their clothes were so dirty their original appearance was unrecognizable.
Seeing Lin Tang, everyone in the village smiled.
"Tangtang came to bring water to your Parents and brothers/sisters-in-law. Is the injury on your head better? You are truly sensible!"
"Just deliver the water and go back. The sun is too strong; be careful not to get tanned. Don't young girls fear getting tanned? Hahaha..."
"Alas, the sun is too vicious. It's only a few months in, and Heaven isn't letting people live!"
...
Lin Tang smiled, greeting uncles and aunties along the way. After asking for directions, she walked toward where her Parents were.
Zhao Honghua had been pulling weeds for an entire afternoon; her back was sore and tired, feeling terrible.
Just as she was about to rest for a moment, she looked up and saw Lin Tang's familiar Figure.
She looked toward Li Xiuli, who was still working hard in front of her, and called out, "Xiuli, your Tangtang is here..."
Li Xiuli was startled.
She turned around and saw it was indeed her Daughter?
She quickly patted the dirt off her clothes.
She started walking back, intending to meet Lin Tang.
However—
Seeing her Daughter lightly carrying the bucket with one hand, walking briskly.
Li Xiuli couldn't help but recall Tangtang's feat of carrying the door with one hand yesterday.
That scene was unforgettable for a long time!!
"Mother..." Lin Tang didn't notice her mother's Complicated gaze and cheerfully waved at her.
Lin Lu and the others also heard the young girl's crisp voice and stopped what they were doing.
Lin Qingmu even hurried over to Lin Tang and took the Wooden Bucket from her hand.
"Tangtang, why did you come? The sun is fierce; don't let your face get sunburned again."
Saying this, he placed the hat on his head over Lin Tang's head.
The brim was large, completely covering the young girl's face.
Lin Tang reached up to adjust the hat, revealing her bright, clear eyes, "I brought water for you all."
A smile appeared on Lin Qingmu's face; he opened the bucket lid, scooped a bowl, and gulped it down.
Refreshing!
Both sour and sweet!
Delicious!
"Younger Sister, what is this? Why is it both sour and sweet, and quite tasty!"
Lin Tang said with a smile, "I just steeped the fruit that Third Brother brought back yesterday; I added a little White Sugar."
When mentioning White Sugar, she glanced guiltily at Li Xiuli.
That bit of White Sugar was Mother's last reserve; only she dared to touch it.
Lin Qingshan heard Lin Qingmu say it was delicious, stepped forward, and squeezed him aside.
He casually snatched the bowl from his hand, squatted down, and scooped a bowl for himself.
Just as he was about to taste it, he suddenly felt a chilling presence behind him.
He turned his head and saw—good heavens—it was his father!
But why was his father glaring at him like an enemy? It was terrifying.
Looking closely, he realized his father's eyes were fixed directly on... the bowl in his hand.
Lin Qingshan immediately understood.
He licked his lips and handed the bowl over.
Third Brother drank some, so why wasn't Father glaring at Qingmu?
Could it be that his thick-skinned nature wasn't as pronounced as Third Brother's?
Lin Qingshui, catching sight of Eldest Brother behaving, shrewdly scooped a bowl and handed it to Old Mother.
"Mother, you drink too!"
Li Xiuli glanced at him, thinking this boy was quite clever.
The husband and wife both took a drink and found it sweet and sour, very thirst-quenching.
Afterward, Ning Xinrou and Zhou Mei also drank some.
"Younger Sister, how did you make this? It's so delicious. It would be even better if you added more sugar."
Zhou Mei smacked her lips, and the one who couldn't keep her mouth shut started chattering again.
Li Xiuli's face stiffened, and she looked at Lin Qingshui.
"Second Uncle, control your Wife. If she can't control that mouth of hers again, I'll have your father beat you."
Whoever's Wife, whoever manages them; she didn't want to deal with it anymore.
It was too upsetting!
Lin Qingshui: "??" Standing in the field, the blame fell from the sky!
What did he do?
His only mistake was judging by looks and marrying a Wife who was tactless and couldn't speak properly.
Lin Qingshui sighed heavily inwardly, pulled Zhou Mei along, "You've had water, let's go, follow me to Work in the Fields."
If she caused so much trouble, she wasn't tired enough.
Zhou Mei wanted another bowl, moving toward the Wooden Bucket with a reluctant expression.
"Don't! I wanted another bowl."
Wasn't she just giving her Younger Sister a suggestion? What was wrong with that?
Li Xiuli watched the daughter-in-law who always messed with her peace of mind finally leave, and the anger in her chest finally subsided.
"Tangtang, don't listen to your Second Sister-in-law talking nonsense. I think the taste is excellent; sweet and sour, it quenches thirst. If it's too sweet, it gets sticky, doesn't it make you thirstier the more you drink?"
This was her Daughter's first time doing something in the Kitchen; she couldn't ruin her Daughter's... enthusiasm.
Ning Xinrou also said with a smile, "Mother is right; I also think it tastes very good."
This kind of sourness was completely different from the sourness of the Sour Plum Drink in her memory; the taste was very unique, and she liked it a lot.
Lin Qingmu looked at Lin Tang and praised, "Tangtang is so smart! You made something so delicious out of fruit that even dogs wouldn't eat—amazing!"
Lin Lu and Lin Qingshan had nothing more to praise with; they nodded seriously from the side.
Lin Tang: "... A bit embarrassing!"
After delivering the water, she was sent home by her family.
As for the bucket, there was still water left in it, so it was left behind.
Just as Lin Tang reached the path leading to the fields, the person coming toward her, carrying Cow Dung, was none other than Wang Zhaodi, who treated her as a sworn enemy.
It truly is a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
