The two of them tried to take the flattest road back, and four-fifths of the water was still there. They were delighted, quickly carrying the buckets and pouring the water into the field...
The two spent the entire day transporting water. Zhou Dalang used a rake to plow the field twice, mixing the water and mud more evenly.
Bai Shan brought down a bucket of water, seeing Manbao standing in the field washing her feet with the freshly poured water, he called to her, "Come over, the water here is cleaner."
Manbao immediately stepped forward, standing on a tuft of grass in the field. Bai Shan tilted the wooden bucket slightly, letting the thin stream of water flow down. Manbao washed her feet and the dirtied pants with the stream of water.
After washing clean, she sat on the field ridge to dry her feet.
Lord Wei finished planting a piece of field, wobbled over covered in mud, and went to the Zhou family's field, gesturing for Bai Shan to continue pouring water.
