"Jing'er, can you go in and take a bath by yourself?"

After lunch, Xiao Yao took clothes, towels, soap and other things in his hand, and took Jing'er to the door of the women's bathroom. No one is willing to spend five cents on the luxury of taking a bath, this is not the current shower or large pool bathhouse, there is a larger wooden barrel inside, which is boiled hot water in advance and poured in, and then bathed.

Jing'er looked at the empty bathroom, she was scared, she didn't know how long she hadn't taken a bath, and she had never taken a bath in such a bathroom. She didn't dare to go in, and looked at Xiao Yao timidly:

"Brother Xiao, you go in and help me wash, I'm scared when I go in alone. ”

"Jing'er, you're a girl, and my brother is a man, so I can't help you take a bath, do you understand?"

"Why not. When I was at home, my dad and grandpa both helped me take a bath, aren't they men like you?"

"Wasn't you young then? Now that Jing'er has grown up, she has to avoid some things. ”

"Jing'er is still Jing'er, she hasn't grown up. Brother Xiao, you can help me wash it, I can't wash it myself later. ”

Jing'er saw that Xiao Yao didn't agree to help her take a bath, so she became coquettish. In her heart, Brother Xiao is so good to herself, he should have agreed to help herself take a bath, where did she think of so many things that adults considered. This bathroom is also out of the big iron door, according to the rules, a female administrator is required to take care of it, but Jing'er didn't want others to take her away alone, so the stationmaster had to stop Xiao Yao, who was about to participate in labor. Let him come with Jing'er again, and the female administrator was happy, came out of the iron gate, pointed out the location and left. Xiao Yao wanted to find the administrator to help at this time, but he couldn't find it, he couldn't walk around yet.

"Jing'er, I'll help you put the hot water and adjust the temperature, and then you will take a bath inside, and my brother will guard you outside the door." ”

Xiao Yao put the hot water in the cauldron next to the wooden barrel into the wooden barrel, put some cold water in it, tested the temperature with his hands a few times, and felt that it was almost there, so he let Jing'er come in and take a bath. Jing'er reluctantly watched Xiao Yao walk to the door and gradually close the door.

"Brother Xiao, don't go, I won't take a bath. ”

Just when the wooden door of the room was about to close, Jing'er shouted, ran over, and grabbed Xiao Yao tightly. She had a frightened hallucination just now, as long as this door was closed, she would never see Brother Xiao again. So she ran out desperately.

Xiao Yao looked at Jing'er helplessly, picked up her thin body, came directly to the wooden barrel, threw off her shoes, and put the whole clothes on Jing'er's body into the wooden barrel, Jing'er was soaked in water and hummed comfortably. Xiao Yao took out a comb, wet Jing'er's hair, smeared it with soap, and washed Jing'er's hair seriously.

Jing'er didn't run for a while, but she felt uncomfortable wrapped in the clothes on her body, so she took off her clothes directly, put on her upper body, and played with water.

"Jing'er, why did you take off your clothes? Put them on quickly, or my brother will leave." ”

"Why? Isn't it all about taking off your clothes when you take a shower? How do you wash when you take a shower?"

Xiao Yao, who asked this, couldn't answer, he looked at Jing'er's slightly pale and dry skin due to long-term malnutrition, and his heart trembled.

"That's it, you soak for a while, my brother will wash your hair, and then give you a bath." ”

"Hmm. ”

Hearing that Brother Xiao finally agreed to bathe herself, she hummed excitedly and started to play with the water. hummed a tune that Xiao Yao hadn't heard before.

Xiao Yao spent a long time patiently washing and combing Jing'er's hair. Jing'er also obediently did not move her head at all. He tied his hair together with a dry towel. Then use another towel to gently scrub Jing'er's back, and let Jing'er stand up and apply soap to her back. Carefully clear up.

"Jing'er, my brother will help you wash your back in a while, I'll go out, and you can wash it yourself." ”

"Brother Xiao, I can wash it myself, but don't go out, as soon as you leave, I'm afraid. ”

"Then my brother will turn his back and wait for you here. ”

Xiao Yao couldn't bear to hurt Jing'er's brittle heart anymore, so he had to agree. After he scrubbed Jing'er's back clean, he turned around and let Jing'er wash herself.

"Brother Xiao, I've washed it, it's so comfortable. ”

Hearing Jing'er say that it was washed, Xiao Yao handed over the dress and underwear that he had already held in his hand. Jing'er saw Xiao Yao carrying something behind her back, and she couldn't figure it out.

"Brother Xiao, why are you so weird, why don't you dare to look at Jing'er?"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you put on your clothes, my brother will dare to look at you. ”

Jing'er still didn't know what was going on, but she didn't ask anymore, climbed out of the barrel, wiped the water off her body, got dressed in a stumbling manner, and then, barefoot, ran in front of Xiao Yao and threw herself into Xiao Yao's arms.

"Brother Xiao, it's good to have you, Jing'er hasn't been so comfortable for a long time. ”

A faint scent with soap wafted into Xiao Yao's nostrils, he picked Jing'er up, put her feet in the barrel, washed her again, dried them and put on her newly bought flower shoes. Then he looked at Jing'er carefully again.

The light blue floral dress has been shrouding Jing'er's thin body to the slender calves, and the shoulder-length black hair is scattered on the thin shoulders, wet, and still dripping with water. The handsome little face, due to the long-term hot water soaking, is white and pink. The long eyelashes, fully extended, with a slight upward curve, and the large and agile eyes are clear and deep, showing innocence. He secretly made up his mind that from now on, he would make this angel-like beautiful and simple Jing'er happy.

"Come, Jing'er, brother will dry your hair a little more. ”

"Well, Brother Xiao, you didn't speak when you saw Jing'er just now, is Jing'er good-looking?"

"Jing'er is very good-looking, when you get to the provincial capital, my brother takes Jing'er to look in the mirror, and you can see yourself. ”

Xiao Yao helped Jing'er's hair and rubbed it back and forth with the dry towel that tied her hair just now. Absorb moisture. Only then did he lock the wooden door and pull Jing'er back to the compound.

"Brother Xiao, I didn't take the wet clothes, and there are old shoes. ”

"Don't do it, when you go to the provincial capital in the future, my brother will buy you a new one, it's already rotten in many places, so don't want it." ”

When Xiao Yao pulled Jing'er into the big iron door opened by the administrator, everyone who was working inside looked at it together:

"Wow... This little girl is so beautiful. ”

"yes.... Even the legendary princess is nothing more than that, right?"

"Princess, Jing'er is the most beautiful little fairy, how can the princess compare?"

And when Xiao Yao looked at Jing'er's grandfather. This old man who has gone through vicissitudes and suffered a lot. At this time, the tears could no longer be controlled, and fell silently down the wrinkled old face.

Is this girl, who is as beautiful as an angel and as proud as a princess, really still his poor granddaughter? The old man's eyes were covered by tears, and he couldn't see clearly.
