Chapter 11 Things

Yuan Dashuo checked the temperature of Yuan Cheng's forehead. Seeing that it was okay, he got up and went out to fetch water.

Previously, the two main laborers Yuan Dashuo and Yuan Laoshi were not at home, and the two young boys Yuan Jinbao and Yuan Wu could not fetch much water, barely enough for daily cooking and washing.

Of course, this washing refers to the two elders of the Yuan family and the precious twins.

The two sisters-in-law and the other children only cleaned themselves every few days.

On weekdays, their second room is fine. At least they wash their faces and feet before going to bed every day.

In the main room, it seemed that they had not even washed their faces and feet, and only scrubbed their bodies every once in a while.

So this time the men from each room are back, so of course they can be cleaned up.

Yuan Dashuo had not been back for a long time. Now when he came home and saw his wife and children, he was happy, full of energy and positive.

As he went out, Yuanwu opened a pile of medicine bags behind him, took out a portion of the medicine, and then left the room, happily going to see Mrs. Wen.

Yuanman and Yuanxiu were organizing things.

The two sisters exclaimed when they saw what was under the opened baggage. They were both excited and happy.

I saw only two big bundles.

One was filled with cotton, and together with the pile of cloths of various colors on the bed, their winter clothes were now available.

The other one had a small baggage and two large packages of things wrapped in oil paper, which were fragrant.

Yuan Man and Yuan Xiu looked at each other, swallowed in unison, then opened one and looked at it. Inside was the meat cake Yuan Dashuo mentioned.

The two sisters looked at each other again, seeing joy and greed in each other's eyes.

Tonight, because Yuan Dashuo and Yuan Honest came back, the dinner portion was quite generous, and I was seven to eighty percent full.

These should be kept at the dinner table for when the meal is light, but they are greedy and their father also said to eat whatever they want!

So Yuan Xiu couldn't resist her greed, and carefully took out a piece of meat cake that was no bigger than their palms. After dividing it into three parts, she carefully handed one to Yuan Man, while she kept the smaller piece for herself.

Yuan Man didn't refuse. The food here had limited seasonings, and the Yuan family's food was indeed average. She couldn't refuse the rare and fragrant meatloaf.

So the two sisters cherished the small piece of meat pie in their hands and finished it.

There is only one word to describe this moment in my heart!

It just smells good!

Although the meat pie is called meat pie, the fillings are not only dried meat, but also chopped nuts. There is also something made of something similar to lotus paste wrapped in dried meat and chopped nuts. It tastes salty and delicious.

of.

Yuan Man moved his cheeks and tasted it carefully, reluctant to swallow the food in his mouth.

He glanced at his sister, who hadn't stopped talking yet, so it was obviously the same.

Yuan Xiu put another small piece of pancake away, and the two sisters clapped their hands and continued to read.

In fact, the pancake is not crumbly, and the outer crust is fluffy on the inside and a little hard on the outside.

The filling inside is also very sticky and well wrapped, not loose and loose.

This is just a habitual action left over from a simple love of cleanliness.

The other bag looked like brown sugar cubes. It was dark in color and felt sweet at first sight. It was quite heavy. Yuan Dashuo said that the meat cake just now weighed three kilograms. The brown sugar was also three kilograms, which was enough for their family to eat and drink for a while.

It's day.

But neither of the two sisters touched the brown sugar, simply because they knew about their younger brother Yuan Cheng's body and wanted to leave it for him to eat.

Yuanman even thought about planting some ginger in Shennong's space. Then he could cook some brown sugar ginger soup for Yuan Cheng, which would keep him warm.

The last package is a small baggage, which contains some miscellaneous things. There is a change of clothes for Yuan Dashuo, and a few beautiful red headbands. You can tell at a glance that they are for the two girls, and some needlework, which is also needed at home.

If you use it, Yuan Xiu will be very happy.

When she took on the job of embroidering purses, the cloth and needle and thread were all prepared in other shops. She only had to finish the work and return it, and then she made a net profit ranging from one penny to three pence.

Therefore, although there was a lot of needlework and thread at home, it was not their own. They wanted to sew something but still lacked something. Yuan Dashuo bought it this time, and Yuan Xiu was naturally happy.

All that's left is the pile of fabric.

The colors that Yuan Dashuo chose for his home are quite low-key.

After taking it apart, there was a large piece of indigo blue fabric inside, which should be the outer clothes worn by the father and son. It is invisible and not easy to get dirty.

There is also a piece of apricot-colored cloth, a piece of lotus-pink cloth, a piece of light cyan cloth, and a piece of ocher-red cloth.

The first three are definitely the two sisters plus the youngest son, and the latter is a slightly low-key red, unassuming, and quite suitable for the Wen family.

These fabrics are not a whole piece and can probably be used to make a set of clothing.

That's enough.

After reading everything, the two sisters were so happy that they couldn't see their teeth.

There were just a few simple things, nothing to sort and arrange, and Yuan Dashuo just let the two girls take them apart with their own hands to make them happy.

Yuan Xiu folded the cloth again, tied it, and placed it next to the bed against the wall.

Yuanman retied the small bundle containing the messy things and handed it to her, and Yuanxiu placed the small bundle on the cloth.

The other brown sugar and meat cakes are still tied up in the big bag. They can be taken out when needed and placed together against the wall.

Now there is a row of things neatly placed against the wall of the bed.

That's all there is to it if they don't have a box in their room.

The last thing was the new quilt. I only had to wait for the two sisters to take a bath before untying the rope and making the bed.

The new quilt was very big and thick, and it looked warm. If it weren't for the dust on his body, Yuanman would have wanted to throw himself into the quilt and lie down for a while.

Now that the new quilt is back, Yuan Cheng can have two sets of quilts stacked up to cover him, making it even warmer.

The bed on his side is smaller and can only sleep two people. Usually Yuan Dashuo or Wen sleeps with him so that he can check on him in the middle of the night or take care of him.

The couple slept well, so they didn't turn around and get air-conditioning in the quilt. Yuan Cheng couldn't stand a bit of coldness, otherwise he would have another serious illness.

After the two sisters packed up their things, Yuan Cheng was still sleeping deeply. If Yuan Man hadn't confirmed that he didn't have a high fever anymore, she would almost feel high in her heart.

Yuan Dashuo left quickly and came back quickly, but it was their father's little tail Yuanwu who came back to let the two sisters wash up.

So Yuanman didn't waste any time, and after taking the change of clothes inside, Yuanxiu took Yuanxiu's hand and went to take a bath together.

The Yuan family has no fixed bathing place.

Sometimes it is in each room, or in a small side room in the east wing.

The door on the other side that opens into the yard is the place where firewood is usually kept, commonly known as the firewood shed.

On weekdays, the Yuan family also scrubs inside. If they want to wash in the tub, they go to the kitchen.
