Norman Lida will cuff high rolled up his thin arm struggling to pick up a bucket of water.

The river was rushing, and she squatted on the shore board to build the dock. Her small hands clung to the hemp rope and walked barefoot on the board, struggling to linger back step by step.
The barrel peeped out of the river a little bit … The morning sun was harsh. She didn’t eat and drank a little potherb soup last night, and now she has some thread in her stomach.
She felt a little dizzy. Her foot stepped on a small stone and she stumbled and fell down on the dock.
A wooden bucket full of wat hurries toward that river, and Norman Lida keeps dragging the hemp rope, even if it hurts her palm, she dare not loosen it.
She dare not lose the most important barrel in the house.
The barrel fell into the river and the hemp rope pulled Norman Lida and slipped into the river.
She felt on her face that her breasts were going to be ground flat.
I heard a girl shouting "loose rope!"
Norman Lida, unwilling to let go, slipped to the edge of the board and almost fell into the river. When the rope was suddenly pulled from behind, it became tense.
She hurriedly took the opportunity to get up and adjust her posture to pull a bucket of water.
Only then did she come and look behind her. It was an adult who helped her. I didn’t expect to look back and see a girl about her age, smiling at herself by the dock.
She is also an aborigine, but her skin is much whiter, and she wears a clean and tidy skirt and sits quietly on the shore.
"How can you draw water here alone? You should ask someone for help. "The girl is very fluent in local dialect, not in Duodan Town accent, but in a foreigner.
Norman Lida returned to Nika, whose distant relatives around here said to Nika, "I want to help my mother wash clothes."
Nika saw Norman Lida look a little weak with a face of dishes, touched her shriveled belly, heard her belly purring and asked her, "Oh? You didn’t have breakfast? "
There are poor people living around here, and Norman Lida is not embarrassed to explain.
"I haven’t got the laundry money yet."
Nika asked, "So you didn’t get rex rabbit meat at home?"

"There is no town hunting in our family, and a little bit of it is used to cook soup."
She didn’t say that all the broth had been used to mend her mother’s health.
Nika thought she might offer to help without moving such a bucket of water.
The two men carried a big bucket of water to Norman Lida’s house. Nika saw that Norman Lida’s house was still quite large, and a lot of clothes were dried in the yard.
Norman Lida’s house is a wooden frame, and some holes are repaired by felt. Although it is worn out, it can at least shelter from the wind and rain.
Norman Lida’s mother’s face was sallow, lying on the bed surrounded by a blanket, and her eyes were so thin that she looked a little scary.
When she saw Norman Lida bring back a girl who was a friend of Norman Lida, she lay in bed and said to her daughter
"Norman Lida, if you don’t wash these clothes out quickly, these clothes will pass the deadline!"
Norman Lida didn’t tell her that she almost fell into the river. She leaned slightly to prevent her from seeing her red chest. She replied, "If you know your mother’s horse, it will be washed!"
The woman closed her eyes and said, "You should rub the neckline and cuffs carefully. Those positions are always particularly dirty. You should have extra snacks before you get home."
Norman Lida’s novel "I know Mom!"
With that, he hung his head and walked out of the cabin, then said apologetically to Nika.
"Sorry, there is really nothing to entertain you at home!"
Nika patted her thin shoulder and said "No" with a smile, so she walked around the yard at will.
Norman Lida poured water into a wooden basin and rubbed the clothes inside, while writing a novel, "If I can’t wash them well this time, no one will give them to me for starching. I must be careful."
Nika saw a small wooden frame next to the wooden house with two missing pottery bowls, and a small piece of miscellaneous grain cake was still in the bowl. He asked in surprise.
"Didn’t you go to town to buy bread?"
Norman Lida looked at Nika in astonishment and said, "Bread shop? No, that’s too expensive. We usually eat groceries occasionally. "
Nika looked at the clothes in the tub and said to Norman Lida, "You will finish washing until noon!" Then wait for me at the door of the bakery in the afternoon, and I will teach you how to buy cheap bread. "
Norman Lida squatted beside the tub and tried to refuse, but by the time she looked up, Nika had already walked to the gate of the courtyard.
She thought that she should get a laundry fee at noon, and her mother needed something to eat, so she said, "Good!"
……
Norman Lida had no luck today and met a bad-tempered customer.
She delivered the washed, dried and neatly folded clothes to the door, but she was scolded by her employer for two quarters of an hour because a silver button was missing from a dress. She remembered that there was no button in that position, but her employer said there was one.
On the other side of the garment symmetry, there is indeed a silver button. She can’t afford to pay for the silver button, so the employer deducted the single wage department with a wave of his hand.
It took her three days to wash her clothes, but she didn’t get any money and was kicked out by that hateful employer.
Walking down the street dejectedly, she didn’t dare to go home at this time. She couldn’t explain it to her mother at all.
Then I thought that I had made an appointment with the girl who saved herself by the river to meet at the door of the bakery at noon, but now she doesn’t even have a penny in her pocket.
She has never been to a bakery, but she knows which bakery always smells the thick smell of wheat when she passes by the bakery door.
She doesn’t know the imperial language at the door, and she is even more afraid to gather together when she sees a long line at the door of the bakery.
It was quietly sitting on the steps opposite the bakery. She wanted to tell the girl who asked her out,’ Don’t buy bread today.’
When the door of the bakery saw people walking out of the bakery with bread in their hands, they suddenly felt even hungrier.
Norman Lida was a little depressed and knew that he should help those hunters. Although he didn’t get much money, he could at least carry home a pair of water.
The poor children in the street don’t know what they have done. It’s amazing that everyone has a scone in their hands, and their faces are dirty and their noses are hanging, and they don’t forget to chew the scone in their hands. They are as happy as a group of sparrows.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"
Nika came by and saw Norman Lida sitting on the stone steps with his head buried and his arms curled up.
Norman Lida saw Nika’s face slightly red and said
"I … suddenly don’t want to buy bread"
Nika put her arm around Norman Lida’s shoulder and said kindly, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to buy it. I want to give it to you. If you queue up, you have to register your name here."
She doesn’t seem to be rooted in the refusal of others to order a group of small children behind her
"Why don’t you all line up? Be neat and don’t make any noise!"
These children listened to her very much and lined up at the back of the line one by one, and Nika skipped into the bakery and soon took out an account book to register and distribute a kind of rawhide card to these children one by one. This rawhide corner was very hot and had a special brand.
Nika put a rawhide card into Norman Lida’s hand and said to her, "Take this with you every time you buy bread. Here! Here is your name and this card belongs to you. "
Although the queue is very long, everyone needs to take out two coppers to buy baked wheat cakes, and there is no need to wait, so the transaction goes very fast
