"Grandma, just leave it here."

"The weather is getting hotter, Xiaoli, since you just arrived, it's better to install the air conditioning sooner." The old woman persuades kindly.

Li Suimo wiped off some sweat, grinned, showing eight teeth and said, "I know, Grandma."

"Girl, do you know who is moving in next door?"

Li Suimo blinked, her sweat condensed into droplets hanging on her long eyelashes.

As she blinked, the sweat rolled down and splashed onto the soft yellow sand.

She looked up and saw that the neighbor's house had obviously just been cleaned.

The two-story small house exuded a damp smell inside and out, and even the entrance of the first-floor courtyard had a puddle of water marks.

At this moment, the balcony on the second floor was draped with rows of snow-white sheets. When the wind blew, the white cloth fluttered against the blue sky, white clouds, and the sea breeze with a faint fishy smell, creating a beautiful scene.

"I don't know," Li Suimo replied.

"It's strange. The owner of this house hasn't been back for more than ten years. Why did they suddenly..." Grandma muttered and walked away.

Li Suimo wiped off some sweat, humming as she carried the water bucket into the house.

The island is a tourist destination, not big, but there are a lot of people. During the peak tourist season, the water on the island is not enough. In fact, processed seawater can also be used, but local residents prefer to drink the mountain spring water.

After taking a clear sip, Li Suimo's body heat was instantly dissipated.

She took a sip of spring water, took out her phone, dialed the number given by Grandma, and told them to come and help her drill a well as soon as possible.

Only island residents can drill wells for personal use. According to Grandma, this is a private island. At first, there were not many people on the island, and the owner felt that it was too quiet, so he developed it into a tourist attraction, and the resources gradually became scarce.

"Okay, thank you," Li Suimo reported her house number and thanked them. They would come to drill the well tomorrow and also told Li Suimo that if she needs water, she can go to the pier.

There are ships there that are responsible for transporting drinking water to the island for tourists and businesses to use.

The island advocates water conservation, and water use is limited. Every three days, someone will deliver a bucket of drinking water. In addition to that, if residents go to the pier to fetch water themselves, they can take as much as they need, as long as they don't go overboard.

However, a bucket of water is so heavy that it takes at least half an hour to go back and forth. Except for those doing business, almost no one is bored enough to fetch water.

As long as water is not wasted, processed seawater can be used for bathing and daily life, so the water is still sufficient.

At night, Li Suimo received the water delivery from the water delivery man who came by tricycle. 

This way, the spring water that grandma took her to collect was saved for drinking, while the water from the delivery was just enough for her to take a shower.

As night fell, Li Suimo went to a restaurant to eat, and the hospitable and talkative residents caused her to linger, so she didn't return until the starry sky was out.
