Chapter 21 Fail to Get the Water_1

Editor: Inschain

Fiona returned very quickly with a bag in her hand.

"These are the pizza, cakes, and cookies that I just cooked. I was just about to send them to your mother. You came just in time." Fiona said with a smile.

Aria looked at the thing that Fiona handed to her, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She remembered that among all the relatives and friends in her hometown, the one who treated her family the best was still this great-aunt. Every time she made some bread, she would always send it to them.

Moreover, she was the matchmaker for her parents' marriage.

Now that she saw the food that her great-aunt had prepared, she felt as if a lifetime had passed. Aria raised her head and revealed a bright smile. "Thank you, Great aunt!" "There's no need to thank me. Take it back and eat. You can come to my house and take new cookies at any time." Fiona smiled and patted Aria's head." Aria, you have to listen to your mother. Don't be naughty."

Aria nodded seriously.

She would never be naughty again. She would be good.

After that, Fiona smiled and went home. She did not forget to remind Aria to go home early.

"I'm not going to play anymore. Great aunt gave me something and I have to go home." Aria said, then opened her bag." Do you want to eat?"

Ada and Tia shook their heads. They weren't hungry yet, but Chris was already hungry when he was bouncing around. He couldn't take it anymore, so he took a cookie and ate it.

After that, the four of them walked back.

"Do you want to come to my house tomorrow?" Ada asked when they arrived at Aria's house.

Aria thought about it and shook her head. "No. My father will come back tomorrow."

Aria wanted to stay at home with her father since she had not seen her father for many years.

However, the three siblings didn't think so. They thought that Aria's father was very fierce and wouldn't let her go out to play.

How unlucky.

The three siblings walked into the street gloomily.

Aria didn't know what they were thinking, so she turned around and went into her house.

"Mom, I'm back!" Aria shouted as soon as she entered the courtyard.

Wendy responded from inside the room.

After that, Aria entered the house. Wendy smiled and said, "I just finished cooking. I was just about to go outside and call you."

"I will be back on time in the future. Mom, you don't have to call me. You can't leave little brother alone at home." Aria said seriously.

Although her younger brother was still a baby, she was afraid that when no one was looking at him, he would fall off the bed. It was very dangerous, especially since the floor in their house was not carpeted but hard cement. It was not a joke if the baby fell.

Wendy didn't know what Aria was thinking. She smiled and rubbed her daughter's face.

"Oh right, Mom, this is from Great Aunt." Aria said, "There are pizza, cakes, and cookies. They are all hot."

Wendy smiled and took the things from Aria's hands. Then, she took them out and placed them in the bun basket.

"Great Aunt treats us very well. You should treat her well when you grow up in the future!" Wendy said to her with a smile.

Aria nodded seriously when she heard her mother's words. "I will be good to everyone good to us."

Although it sounded like a little bit of a stretch, it was indeed like that.

She would never forget those who treated them well in the future.

However, there were still people who treated them badly. She would not forget them either...

"Alright, let's eat." Wendy didn't know what her daughter was thinking, so she said with a smile.

For dinner, Wendy made a small pot of soup and Cobb salad. The vegetables were grown in their yard, but they were still immature. However, they did not feel sour after stir-frying.

Aria felt that the biggest advantage of the countryside was that they could eat a lot of pure green food that was completely free of pollution and fertilizers. Of course, this was limited to the current year because there was not so much pollution in this era. The water and soil were the cleanest.

Especially the water in the well. It was better than pure water. Not only was it clean, but it also had a faint sweetness. It was not comparable to the water that had been processed later.

Therefore, the food now was the cleanest. However, in more than ten years, there would be more and more chemical factories. The water and soil would be polluted, and the well water could no longer be drunk directly. It would be difficult for the food grown to be truly unpolluted.

It was best to take advantage of the time to eat such non-polluting food.

After dinner, Aria wanted to wash the dishes, but there was not much water left in the bucket.

After thinking for a while, Aria placed the bowls and plates in a copper basin. Then, she carried the basin to the well in the courtyard with some effort.

"Aria, leave it to Mom!" Wendy was feeding her son when she saw her daughter leaving with the plates. She quickly called out to her.

Wendy had never liked to let her children do housework. Although it was normal for a five-year-old child to wash the dishes in the countryside, she did not want her daughter to work hard. She could do it herself.

"It's okay, Mom. I'll wash it clean. I won't break the dishes." Aria shouted as she held her things.

She had already walked to the side of the well and placed the basin at the outlet of the well. Then, she poured a ladle of water from the bucket into the well head. Only by pouring water in first could water be squeezed out.

However, although Aria was very eager to wash the dishes, she forgot one thing. Although she was mentally old after her rebirth, her body was still a child. Her strength was also that of a five-year-old girl and it was not enough for her to get the water.

"Ah!"

Aria pulled down the pressure rod of the well with all her might, although she used all her strength, she could only hit the rod down but could not draw out the water at all because the frequency was not enough.

Aria was so tired that she was panting. However, even though the ladle of water had been sucked in, she did not squeeze out a single drop of water.

Gods!

Why couldn't she have the strength as an adult? At least she could get the water. This body of a child was too useless!

After Wendy finished feeding her son, she saw her daughter sitting on a tree stump with her little hands supporting her cheeks and a troubled look on her face.

Then, she looked at the well where not a single drop of water flowed out.

Wendy couldn't help but laugh.
