A Person's Back Village

About This Novel
To the west of Houzhuang, next to the entrance of the village, is a river, flowing from the arch bridge in front. There are dense reeds growing on the river bank, and there is a river pier in the middle, which is paved with stone slabs. Women often wash rice and wash clothes at the pier, swinging their sticks down and down, hitting the clothes, making a dull echo. Xiao Xi also went to the river pier to wash clothes. She only went there in the evening. A small plastic basin was held on one side of her waist with her hands. "Xiao Xi, you are so diligent." The mother-in-law came out to feed the chickens at the gate beside the river port. Xiao Xi blushed silently. Xiao Xi's basin contained only three or two pieces of clothing, all of which belonged to her. Xiao Xi's feet were soaked on the stone slab where the river was flowing, and she spread the skirt to be washed on the river. Sometimes, she deliberately let the skirt float by itself, causing slight ripples on the river. When the skirt was about to float away, she would grab it back.
