Chapter 25: Worrying Hygiene
In the east house opposite, Guan Ping'an came to the kang again, took a breath and took a horse step, and was about to close his eyes, when he suddenly heard a muffled laughter in his ears.
Her heart tightened, and she followed the voice to look......
"Hehe......" Guan Tianyou stared at her with a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes, "Sister, you have to squat for, you can't pull it out like this." ”
Guan Ping'an was stunned when he heard this, blinked, looked down at the dirt he was stepping on, and quickly stood up, "Brother, my mother has already cooked the meal." ”
Guan Tianyou touched his flat little belly and shooked his mouth, "I'm so hungry." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately sat up, "Sister, what did my mother cook?"
Guan Ping'an suppressed the sourness that surged up in her heart for a moment, and ran quickly to her mother's treasure chest, lifted the lid of the wooden box with one hand, and called her brother anxiously.
Her grandfather is really sincere, why is the dowry box so high, is this bullying her short legs, or is her mother deliberately hiding at the bottom.
Guan Tianyou didn't have time to put on his clothes, so he quickly came down the edge of the kang, carried a small bench and ran to her, stepping on his bare little feet......
"An An, I can't reach it. ”
The brother and sister looked at each other, and they both had a bitter face in disappointment, so they had to give up.
Guan Tianyou saw his sister staring at his stomach, learning his father's posture, and patted her shoulder with his little hand, "We can go and find what my mother wants to eat." ”
As he spoke, he softened his voice, and raised his arm to rub Guan Ping'an's head, "This is our own, and my mother burns it from the public, so I won't eat it for nothing."
You have to hide something at home, and eat it when you are too hungry to stand it, you know? Alas, my poor sister, what a poor child......"
Guan Ping'an listened to her mother's tone, laughed happily, nodded quickly, pulled his pants and shoes, and asked him to put them on quickly.
Don't freeze!
Early in the morning, as usual, wild vegetables were put in the big porridge, which was better than the slack season, and each person had more vegetable dumplings with more wild vegetables.
At this time, when the mouth is catching up with the green and yellow, wild vegetables have become the staple food of every family, no one will complain, and it is happiness to fill the stomach.
Liu Chunhua devoured a vegetable dumpling in her hand, and was about to stretch out her hand, when Aunt Guan knocked the back of her hand with chopsticks, "You are a pig." ”
"Mother, why don't you let people eat enough? I've been hungry since last night, woo, I'm dying of hunger......"
Guan Ping'an almost laughed when she listened to her aunt's heartbroken fake cry. Suddenly I don't hate her aunt anymore, at least she's real.
Uncle Guan coughed violently and shouted, "Baby, mother." ”
Aunt Guan answered her wife, picked it, and glanced at her third daughter-in-law with dissatisfaction: Why are they all exactly the same, they are all idle, and a vegetable dumpling can make flowers.
She couldn't break it in half, otherwise the old family would be spilled, so she had to reluctantly hand her a vegetable dumpling.
"Every meal is counted, and now the old lady's share is given to you, and then you have to go back to your mother's house to eat. ”
Liu Chunhua didn't say a word, she opened her mouth to gnaw, a pair of small eyes never forgot to look at the remaining seven vegetable dumplings in front of her mother-in-law, and the legs under the table did not forget to kick her son.
Guan Ping'an has really never seen a character like her eldest uncle, with her, the Guan family staged a play every day, adding a lot of fun to the difficult life.
After breakfast, the men chatted in the back room, and Ye Xiuhe cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with his hands and feet, and it was easy to clean without a little oil splash.
What's more, Guan Xiaozhu is very diligent today, and she is helping by her mother's side, Guan Ping'an turned her head to look at her second aunt, who is washing her two sons' faces at the moment.
Speaking of washing her face, she subconsciously frowned: This family is still too poor. Not to mention tooth powder, even washing your face is done with a coarse cloth from nowhere.
Rubbing it on the face, it hurts terribly.
Every time her mother picked up the "towel" that was washed and rotten, she could feel it like sand scraping her face.
On the other side, her eldest aunt was sitting idle, chattering with gossip in her mouth, her hands touching her neck, and the nails of her two thumbs squeezing.
There was a "snap", two red blood stains, and a residual lice skin......
"Grandma's legs, I'm almost crazy with hunger, your grandson is still here to suck blood, why don't you kill you? ”
Guan Ping'an only felt that his hair was numb, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he looked at her aunt's vicious face. She was able to catch lice with her bare hands, but you can imagine how many lice were parasitic on her body.
"Xiaomei, Xiaomei, the dead girl is hiding in the house to give birth, it's better to raise you than to raise a pig, I don't have any eyesight, why don't you get me a grate quickly?"
Guan Xiaomei ran out of the West House with a grate, stuffed the grate into her mother's hand, and immediately turned around and ran out, "Mother, I want to go to the thatched house." ”
Liu Chunhua muttered, "Lazy people have a lot of and pee." ”
The people sitting in the room all glanced at her knowingly, and even Guan Ping'an had to sigh that there must be a mother and a daughter.
scolded his daughter for giving birth to cubs in the house, and it is estimated that she is the only one in the entire Ma Liutun. The girl's family name is bigger than the sky, how can a mother say anything.
Fortunately, she became Guan Ping'an, if she became Guan Xiaomei, she would have the heart to kill her mother. Alas...... She should think more about her own room.
Liu Chunhua picked up the grate and began to grate lice, maybe her hair had not been taken care of for a long time, and there was a litter of messy dead grass on her head.
This made it really difficult for the grate to move in the hair, and finally tore off the knotted broken hair, and combed the grate down with grinning teeth.
I saw a row of dense lice, some big and small, some black and some white, dare to love lice as a nest, for a while, "pop, snap, ......snap" crisp sound sounded.
Guan Ping'an not only had a numb scalp at this time, but even his whole body began to itch, and when he saw that Ye Xiuhe finally stopped, he couldn't help but shout his mother.
"What's wrong?"
Guan Ping'an twisted his body, ran to her side and pulled the corner of her clothes, wanting to ask if there was hot water and let her take a good shower naked.
But the time to work is so fast that not to mention, her mother is also very tired, and finally turns into a sentence, "Mother, I have some itching on my body, you scratch it for me." ”
Ye Xiuhe glanced at the sister-in-law who was sitting there, took her daughter's little hand as far away as possible, thought about it and picked her up and went back to the room.
Guan Ping'an sat on the stool, and her mother used a wooden stick to avoid the wound on the back of her head, but she actually wanted her mother to comb it for her with a grate.
went back to the outhouse of the main house again, Guan Ping'an happened to see her eldest aunt directly rake her hair with her fingers, prick it back of her head, shine it at the water tank, and smile beautifully.
Finished!
Her father picked up the water for nothing this morning, and who knows if any lice fell into the water tank.
"Mother, are you going to rush back to cook at noon?"
"What's wrong?"
Guan Ping'an was about to speak, when he was frightened by a loud sound of slapping the table, pulled up his calf and ran to the east house.
