Chapter 7: My Little Peach (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
He Sihai went home with peaches, cleaned up the house briefly, and then boiled a few large pots of water.
The peaches were dirty, and their hair hadn't been washed for a few days, and some of them were clumped.
When he left home, he thought that his grandmother would take care of Peaches, but now looking at her weak appearance, I am afraid that she is also powerless.
Thinking of this, He Sihai couldn't help but feel worried again, the few dollars he had saved in the past few months was originally intended to pay off his debts, but now it seems that he can only delay it for a while, and take his grandmother to the hospital again.
"Dad, what are you boiling so much water for?" asked Momoko, riding on the threshold, curious on her face.
"Brother give you a bath. He Sihai rummaged through the cabinets and found a few slightly cleaner changes of clothes.
"Take a bath, I have a bath every day. "Peaches say I'm clean.
"Really, how do you usually wash it?" He Sihai asked curiously.
"Scoop water in a bucket with a spoon. Momoko raised her arms and gestured from head to toe.
He Sihai instantly understood what she meant.
It turned out that she washed directly with cold water.
There is a pressure well in the yard, which can press out the well water, but the well water is particularly cold, fortunately the peach is not sick, and it is estimated that the reason for the hot weather is also the reason.
"Grandma said that the well water is too cold, so I press the water out at noon, bask in the sun, and then take a bath at night, am I smart?"
Momoko pushed the little fat chicken toy in her hand around on the threshold stone, and her face was full of smug smiles.
As if to say, come and praise me, come and praise me......
"Peaches are so smart. ”
He Sihai touched her little head and praised her without hesitation.
When the water was boiled, I found that there was no soap at home, and as for the toothpaste, it had long since dried up, and the rest of it was clumped.
I don't know how Peaches' days have been spent in the past few months.
So He Sihai was ready to go on another trip and buy some daily necessities to come back.
Peaches wanted to follow, but He Sihai didn't let her, and asked her to stay at home with her grandmother.
She was also obedient and obedient, holding the little fat chicken toy, riding on the threshold stone, and watching He Sihai leave without blinking.
He Sihai glanced back, looking at the reluctant and worried look on her face, his heart was a little sour.
"I'll be right back and wait for me. He Sihai said loudly.
"Hmm. Momoko smiled widely.
He Sihai hurriedly bought the things back, and sure enough, Peaches was still obediently riding on the threshold stone and waiting.
When I saw him come back, I immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Dad. ”
"Okay, go home, my brother will help you take a bath and wash the fragrance. He Sihai reached out and picked her up.
He Sihai not only bought soap and other toiletries, but also bought a new pair of scissors, Peaches's hair was too long, not only dirty, but also hot, help her cut and cut.
He Sihai found out the big wooden basin that Liu Xiaojuan was washing clothes in the house, then brushed it clean and used it as a bathtub for peaches.
When Peaches took off her clothes, He Sihai found that her body was distressing, her ribs were visible, and even her vertebrae were slightly protruding.
And the skin is full of mosquito bites and scratch marks.
"Peaches. He Sihai called softly.
"Well, what?"
The peach sitting in the wooden basin raised her head, with a pair of big clear eyes, full of innocence and innocence.
"Nothing, close your eyes, my brother will help you wash your hair first. ”
"Good. Momoko obediently closed her eyes.
He Sihai hurriedly blinked his eyes, letting the mist in the corners of his eyes quickly evaporate.
"Peach, my brother is not at home, you have to take good care of yourself, don't go to these dangerous places by the pond, grandma can't do it, and you can't do the work yourself, so go to the fourth grandfather to help......"
The fourth grandfather in He Sihaikou is his grandfather's brother.
There are five grandfathers and brothers, ranking second, and the fourth grandfather and fifth grandfather are still alive.
The fifth grandfather went to the city with his son.
So there are only four grandfathers left in the village.
Since the death of He Tao and his wife, the fourth grandfather has helped their family a lot.
Before He Sihai went to work in the city, he also greeted him and asked him to help take care of Peaches and Grandma, otherwise he could not worry.
Even so, after all, they are two families.
Peach's life is still very difficult.
Momoko kept her head down and didn't speak.
"What's wrong? ”
Before Peaches could speak, He Sihai heard tears falling into the basin and making a snapping sound.
She raised her little face, tears already soaking her cheeks.
"Dad, are you going to work again?" she asked, silently choked.
After her brother said something similar to her last time, the person was gone.
Grandma said that her brother went to work to earn money, and bought Peaches beautiful clothes and delicious snacks to make her live faster.
But she doesn't want nice clothes, and she doesn't want delicious snacks, as long as she can see "Dad" every day, she is already alive and well.
"Don't cry, my brother won't go, ......"
He Sihai wrung out the towel and wiped it for her.
The water in the bathtub is black and dirty, and it can be used to fertilize the fields.
It's a pity that the peaches, which were originally white and tender, can't turn white even if they are washed with soap.
He still clearly remembers that when he first came to Peach's house, He Tao and his wife took good care of him and gave him the best in everything.
But now, how does he take care of Peaches?
So he blamed himself even more in his heart.
But is it okay not to make money? Is it okay to let Peaches be like this for the rest of his life?
"Dad, I'm not crying, don't be angry. ”
Seeing He Sihai stunned, Peaches thought he was angry.
"My brother is not angry, my brother is thinking about things. ”
He Sihai picked her up and wiped her dry.
Then she put on the clean clothes she had just found, and only then did she realize that they were already small.
"Ahh
He Sihai was full of helplessness, and he could only let Peach take the lead first.
After taking a bath, He Sihai found a large bowl and put it on the head of the peach.
Then, along the edge of the bowl, cut her a neat mushroom head.
"Wow, our peaches are so cute. ”
He Sihai looked up and down and was very satisfied.
Peaches was a little embarrassed to twist it.
But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but let out a "hee-hee" laugh.
"Okay, are you going to grandma to get up, I'm going to cook dinner. ”
He Sihai looked up at the afterglow of the sunset, and the day passed like this.
......
When He Sihai was cooking dinner, Peaches wanted to help light the fire, but how could He Sihai let her do it.
But Momoko swore that she often cooks at home, which is amazing.
Looking at Peach's proud expression, He Sihai was silent, and finally rejected her on the grounds that she had already taken a bath.
But even so, she was reluctant to go out.
Stay in the stuffy kitchen and cook dinner with "Dad".
He Sihai washed clothes, and she sat next to her and played with bubbles.
did not leave an inch, as if he was worried that as soon as he turned his head, He Sihai would disappear.
"Grandma, this is the roast duck I bought at He Chuan's house in the afternoon, you can try it. ”
When it was time for dinner, He Sihai did not call his grandmother to the table.
So he served the rice, sandwiched the vegetables, brought it to the door, and handed it to the grandmother who was sitting around the corner of the door.
When Grandma got up, she sat here, looking into the distance down the slope, not knowing what she was thinking.
The weak and thin body is like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished at any time.
He Sihai didn't know why, he had a bad premonition.
But he didn't want to think about it like this, so he hurriedly shook his head and didn't think about it.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten it, I want to taste it. Grandma smiled and took the dishes and chopsticks.
I ate a big bowl of rice with the marinade.
He Sihai breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could eat, there should be no big problem with his body.
Peaches also ate the most hearty meal in months.
