Volume 2, Chapter 24: Joy
Shangguan Ruoli said seemingly unintentionally: "The fruits are sour and sweet, the ones in the sun are larger and sweeter, and the ones in the shade are small and sour. You can cut them into small pieces and eat them together."
When Rong Chuan thought about it, it was indeed true, and he gave up his doubts.
Who among the farmers has the patience to cut it into pieces and eat it? As a family, you take a bite, I take a bite, you taste mine, I taste yours, and that’s it.
Dongming Ziyu took a dozen strong laborers to carry buckets to fetch water. They carried ropes and did not have to compete with other victims for positions at the spring. They could directly lift the water up from a high place.
So we came back very quickly, and everyone was happy to have enough water. We no longer had to count every sip of water we drank.
Wulang stumbled up to meet Dongming Ziyu, hugged Dongming Ziyu's legs, raised his little head, and held up the pear in his little hand, "Dad, daddy, eat quickly, Wulang left it for you, it's so sweet!"
Dongming Ziyu knew from the look of the pear that it was picked from space. He picked up Wulang and said, "Dad won't eat it, so let Wulang keep it."
Wulang shook his big head like a rattle, "Father eat, father eat!"
Dongming Ziyu took a bite and felt that this pear was sweeter than the ones he had eaten before.
Dalang swallowed his saliva and quickly looked away.
Sanya called Dalang and Dong Youtian: "Brother, dad, come quickly, I've left two pieces for you."
Da Ya and Er Ya called Dong Youliang and said, "Dad, I also have a piece of yours."
Qian sneered coldly and said sourly: "They are all close to their own family!"
Ling Yue hurried over, secretly took out two pears from her pocket and put them into her hands, and whispered: "Milk, I hid it for you and me. I told them to give it to the children first, and not to keep it openly, so I hid it."
two."
Mrs. Qian was overjoyed and quickly hid the pear in the bag, "You can eat this if your milk is not watery. I'll save it for you to eat slowly!"
As he spoke, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Ling Yue immediately showed a lonely expression, "Nai and Ye don't eat, and I don't eat either. Nai doesn't accept my filial piety, and I feel uncomfortable."
Qian felt that this little granddaughter was getting more and more considerate, so she held her in her arms and rubbed her, "Okay, okay, I'll take one with your father and keep the other for you."
Ling Yue was happy, "Nai and Ye each have one, and we will pick them again tomorrow."
Dongming Ziyu sat by the fire with Xiao Wulang in his arms. He saw the lice crawling on his head and smelled the sour smell on his body. He said, "After eating, boil more water and wash yourself."
Head, take a shower."
Now that I have the conditions, I have to clean the child.
Rough guys don't care, pretty little girls and wives are all excited, who doesn't want to be clean and shiny?
Without the threat to life, everyone can think about other messy things. People who live in warehouses know etiquette when they are practical, and people who have enough food and clothing know honor and disgrace.
This moment is the happiest and most vivid moment in these days. Everyone has a smile on their face and sees the hope of living. They are no longer desperate and fearful, no longer hopeless, and no longer indifferent.
Ordinary people are so easily satisfied. As long as they don't starve to death or thirst to death, they can live peacefully.
It's still very cold in the mountains at the end of autumn. People are afraid of the wind and cold and don't dare to take a bath. Don't find water with great difficulty. If you take a shower and the wind and cold kill you, you'll be miserable.
But it’s okay to wash your face, neck, and hair well, and try to be decent and clean.
Dongming Ziyu and a few people built two simple stone bathing rooms with stones, one for men and one for women, and lit a fire inside to prevent the children from catching colds.
One family after another came, Mr. Dong and Mr. Qian were old, and they were afraid of catching cold, so they didn't want to wash.
Shangguan Ruoli washed Ling Yue first. He used insecticide powder to kill the lice in her hair, combed it through with a comb, and then washed it with the shampoo he prepared in the space.
Then he asked her to sit in a wooden basin and take a bath. After changing the water in three basins, she got clean water.
Dong Youtian and others are responsible for fetching water, boiling water, and carrying water over. Dongming Ziyu and Wulang are responsible for guarding outside the simple bathroom, carrying water in and carrying dirty water out.
Shangguan Ruoli wiped Ling Yue clean with a big cloth and put her into clean clothes. Then he let her roast her hair by the fire, entered the space, took a quick bath, and put on the clothes the two of them had changed into.
washed.
After leaving the space, it was Dongming Ziyu and Wulang's turn.
Dongming Ziyu pushed Wu Lang into the creaking nest, "Let's go, little dirty boy!"
Wulang kicked his calves and laughed happily. After a while, the laughter of the father and son came from inside.
Ling Yue was very close to Wu Lang because of her original feelings. When she heard her father's laughter, she felt a little bit sour, "Mom, listen, dad, dad laughs so happily, I almost forgot about his cold face.
Looks like it."
Shangguan Ruoli wrapped her hair with a piece of floral cloth to prevent her from getting cold, and said with a smile: "Is it better now, or the cold and frosty look before?"
Ling Yue thought for a while and said: "It's all good. It used to be like a god in the sky, but now it's more down-to-earth and more vivid."
Shangguan Ruoli said: "He has the memory of his original self. He has never lacked love since he was a child. He was pampered by his parents and siblings when he grew up. His personality is naturally different."
Ling Yue said like a young adult: "Then it's better to have a father like this."
Dalang came over carrying a bucket of hot water, and Sanlang and Shiro came over carrying a bucket of cold water.
Dalang put down the bucket and said: "Fourth Aunt, please take Siya back to rest. When Fourth Uncle and Wulang finish washing, we will wash them."
Shangguan Ruoli was not polite to them and said: "Okay!"
After taking Ling Yue back to the camp, the eyes of Da Ya and the other girls lit up when they saw the clean two people.
Sanya said with stars in her eyes: "Fourth aunt and fourth ya are so good-looking."
He even came up to smell it and said, "It smells so good. Is the spring water fragrant?"
Shangguan Ruoli: "..."
I forgot that the shower gel has fragrance.
He coughed lightly and said, "I used some of your uncle's fragrant soap, but it's a pity that it's all gone. But you can use ordinary soap to wash it later."
The original person, Dong Youfu, had been educated and had been working in the town. He was the most particular person in the family. He usually used soap to wash his face. Well, later on, he was short of water and stopped washing his face.
When the little girls heard that they could use their fourth uncle's soap to wash their faces, they all became happy. They found a change of clothes and waited for their brothers and sisters to finish washing them.
Even Li, Liu and Sun's eyes were bright and eager.
As expected, Dongming Ziyu put the soap he used originally in the 'bathroom' for everyone to use.
Cleaned up, Wulang is pretty and delicate, with particularly big eyes, red lips and white teeth. If he wears pigtails, he looks like a little girl.
Shangguan Ruoli's heart felt sour when he saw it. In a daze, he realized that this child looked a bit like his eldest daughter Lingyao.
He held Wulang on his knees and sat down, picked up a cloth and gently wiped his hair.
Wulang narrowed his eyes in contentment, raised the corners of his lips, and looked happy. He felt that his parents were different. They were acting strangely towards him, especially his mother, who treated him like a strange child. He was really frightened.
.However, my mother is becoming more and more like her original mother.
