Chapter 11 Can this be saved?

• This bathing place is actually just three walls.
• There is no cement sealing on the top, just a wooden board.
• With some decorative weeds.
• At the entrance, there is a urea bag cut long and nailed to a frame with a stick, which can be considered as a decent curtain.
• "Oh no, I bought everything today, but I forgot to buy a piece of cloth to seal this door."
• When Lin Fan arrived at the entrance, he remembered that he wanted to boil water for Zhang Ling to take a bath.
• The bathing place in his own house seems to be very exposed!
• "Little Ling, you go and boil water first, I'll go and cut the bed sheets I bought today."
• "No, Brother Lin Fan! How can you cut such good bed sheets? Just buy a piece of cloth in town tomorrow and use it for now."
• Zhang Ling held him back, not letting him destroy things.
• "Can this save money?"
• "What's the big deal? Is Brother Lin Fan afraid that I will peek at you while you're bathing?"
• Zhang Ling teased.
• "Haha! There's nothing to see about me, it's mainly because of you, girl."
• "Hehe, it's okay."
• Zhang Ling blushed, fortunately the gas lamp was not bright enough, otherwise she wouldn't dare to continue speaking.
• "Alright then, let's make do with it for now."
• "I'll help you fetch water, you go and start the fire."
• "No need to start a fire, it's so hot today, I always take cold showers at home."
• "Alright."
• Next to the courtyard wall, there is a water pumping device. The underground water in Minghu Village is particularly easy to pump up, just dig a hole casually.
• This device was built by Lin Fan's grandfather.
• Lin Fan tried it last night and it could still pump water.
• In a short while, Lin Fan filled two buckets of water.
• He helped Zhang Ling carry them into the bathing room.
• "Lin Fan, can you stay outside and guard? I'm a little scared to take a bath alone outside."
• This point, Zhang Ling was not being overly dramatic, but genuinely afraid.
• Especially when there were some birds and animals making cooing sounds around.
• When she took a bath at home, Chen Yanfang had to accompany her outside and chat.
• The light in Lin Fan's yard was broken, which made her even more scared.
• "Well, alright."
• After agreeing, Lin Fan squatted outside the wall.
• "Damn it! I need to go to the county again and tidy up these things!"
• Lin Fan clenched his fists secretly and thought silently.
• He was also a young man in his prime, how many times could he endure this situation?
• He didn't dare to gamble.
• "Lin Fan, I'm done bathing, you can go and wash up too, go to bed early."
• Fortunately, Zhang Ling bathed quickly, otherwise Lin Fan would have had a nosebleed.
• "Damn it!"
• Lin Fan sighed secretly, "You go inside first, don't peek while I'm bathing!"
• "Oh, don't worry, Lin Fan."
• Zhang Ling glanced downward with her eyes and quickly ran back to the main house.
• Her heart was beating fast.
• After returning to the house, she heard the sound of water pouring on herself bucket by bucket.
• After taking a cold shower, the house was still cool. Zhang Ling buried her head in the thin blanket and started to daydream.
• The next day, Zhang Ling woke up early.
• She went back to her house and brought meat, vegetables, and noodles to cook breakfast for Lin Fan.
• Lin Fan saw everything and didn't know how to refuse this girl's kindness.
• "Lin Fan, wake up! I've cooked breakfast, come and eat."
• Seeing Lin Fan getting up, Zhang Ling smiled mischievously at him, innocent and pure.
• "Alright, but Little Ling, you don't have to deliberately take care of me, it will spoil me."
• "No, I'm just used to getting up early, and I have enough ingredients, so I thought of cooking."
• Zhang Ling explained with a bit of grievance.
• "Is that so? Then what's the alarm clock before six in the morning for?"
• "Well, um, I set the alarm clock to wake up and go to the bathroom!"
• Zhang Ling's watery eyes kept turning.
• She was nervous even when telling a lie.
• Because Lin Fan was staring at her.
• Finally, she lowered her head in frustration, "Lin Fan, you've helped my family so much, I want to help you with something..."
• "Hehe, I knew you had something on your mind."
• "I don't know what I can do to help Lin Fan, I can only do laundry and cook."
• "Cough, in that case, I'm going to the mountains later. Besides making lunch for me when I come back, you also need to clean this cabinet. Is that okay?"
• Lin Fan couldn't bear to see this determined girl feeling down, so he decided to give her some tasks.
• "Really? I promise to complete the task!"
• Sure enough, after Lin Fan assigned her some work, Zhang Ling smiled beautifully like a flower.
• "When I come back at noon, if this cabinet is not clean, I will deduct money."
• "Ah? Do I have money to deduct, Lin Fan?"
• "Yes, from now on, you are my life and work assistant, with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, so my requirements will be stricter."
• "5,000 yuan, that's too much!"
• "Are you the boss or am I the boss?"
• "Lin Fan is the boss."
• Blushing, Zhang Ling said excitedly.
• "Then just listen to my arrangements. If someone comes to the house, tell them I went to the mountains to collect herbs. Also, if Zhang Quanli brings people here, go find the village chief."
• "Okay! I'll remember!"
• After giving instructions, Lin Fan left with a bamboo basket he had just bought yesterday.
• He carefully surveyed the water area of Minghu Lake again.
• The Jingrong Hotel in the county would provide him with a market, but the aquatic products here were not easy to catch.
• There were no beaches on the shore, only high river banks.
• If he could have a boat, he could go into the river and lake to cast nets and catch fish, which would definitely yield a big harvest.
• "I can discuss this with the village chief. I remember seeing some boats in the village when I was a child."
• After making up his mind, Lin Fan walked in the opposite direction of Minghu Lake.
• This was the agricultural road leading to the mountains.
• On the muddy road, traces of villagers pushing single-wheeled carts could be seen.
• He often went into the mountains with his grandfather when he was a child, but they only went to the outer side of the mountains and didn't go deep.
• Every time, his grandfather would come back with a basket full of plants.
• At that time, he didn't understand much, he just knew that those plants were all Chinese medicinal herbs.
• Following the traces of his childhood, Lin Fan arrived at the outer side of the mountains.
• Looking around, it was all plants, vines, and complex vegetation, intersecting on the path ahead.
• "Sure enough! This mountain range has not been developed, it's all Chinese medicinal herbs!"
• A glimmer of light flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.
• Under his feet, in front of his eyes, were groups of herbs, and the further he went, the more herbs grew, and the better the quality!
