Gu Manniang and the two sisters had dinner, and they didn't need Gu Manniang's instructions, Gu Zhaodi was very diligent in cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. And Gu Manniang took advantage of Gu Zhaodi's time to wash the dishes and chopsticks, so she went to bathe the two children.

It is easier for children to take a bath, but it is more troublesome to be like Gu Manniang. First of all, the Tang family does not have a special place to take a bath. Before Gu Manniang came, the women of the Tang family hid in the pigsty to wash. The Tang family only fed two pigs this year, but there are two pigsty at home, so one pigsty is fed to the pigs, and the other is used for bathing.

Bathing in the pigsty, you can imagine the sourness in it. On one side, two pigs were there and screamed, and a gust of wind blew, and the stench was smoky. Although Mrs. Tang sold a lot of silver in order to take care of the pigs for nothing. Mrs. Tang would tell her daughter-in-law to clean the pigsty every day, but even if she did, the pig ate a lot every day, and the more she ate, the more she naturally pulled more. What's more, the pig is a kind of animal that does not like to be clean, and if the owner does not manage it well, the pig can be pulled everywhere in the pigsty. Or there will be feces on the pigs. So, you can really imagine how sinful it is to bathe in a pigsty.

Also, because the landlord who bathes is a pigsty, he can't shower, he can only take a bath. The woman in the family has a bath bucket, which makes Gu Manniang unable to bear it.

Since Gu Manniang came, she had a head injury at the beginning, and her health was still relatively poor, for the sake of her life, even if she stinked to death, Gu Manniang waited for her body to get better before taking a bath.

Moreover, every time she takes a bath, she has to scrub the bath bucket inside and out several times with water. For this matter, Mrs. Tang also muttered that she was poor and exquisite, if it weren't for Gu Manniang's strength, she could carry water by herself. Mrs. Tang would definitely not let her waste water like this.

Naturally, Gu Manniang will not go to the pigsty to join in the excitement with other women. Where to take a shower, she has changed to her own room. Anyway, she has a lot of strength now, and she's not afraid of trouble. It's just that every time I take a shower, the room is just a big wet room. However, these can be ignored. It's hot, and even if the room gets wet, the water will evaporate quickly.

It is more convenient for men to take a bath, and most men here basically do not take a bath at home in the summer, and they all go to the river in groups to wash. Because of this, women don't run around in the summer, so as not to see things they shouldn't see.

And children, as big as stones, have mothers-in-law who are lazy and don't want to boil more hot water, so they let them follow their fathers to the river to wash. Children love to play in the water, and instead of bathing in the water at home, it is better to go to the river and have fun in the river with other friends in the village.

Children like Tang Xiaobao will not be allowed to go down to the river to bathe, because they are too young and have weak resistance, and if they get sick after taking a bath, it will not be okay.

Tang Xiaobao and Niuniu are still young, so they naturally have to take a hot bath, but they are still children, so naturally they don't have to hide in the house to wash like Gu Manniang, Gu Manniang directly moved the bath bucket in the yard and got the two children to wash in the yard.

"Xiaobao, Niuniu, who should you wash first today?" Since Gu Manniang became their mother, not only did Gu Manniang have to take a bath every day, but she didn't bother to do it, and she had to help them wash every day. Not only do you bathe them, but sometimes you wash their hair.

Gu Manniang thought that Tang Xiaobao and they hadn't washed their hair for several days, so they would wash their hair today.

"I'll wash it first, and it's time for me to wash it today." Tang Xiaobao is stronger, and he wants to take a bath first every day, Gu Manniang naturally won't get used to him being sick. So, let the two children take turns every day to see who comes first and who comes last.

Gu Manniang is not amnesia, she naturally knows who should wash first today, and the reason why she asked such a question is not because she wants to test them.

Gu Manniang washed Tang Xiaobao's hair first, there was no shampoo at this time, and those who washed their hair could only use soaphorns, and they had to rub the soaphorns they took off before they could use them to wash their hair. Although soaphorn is a good thing, it is too troublesome, and when she has money, she still looks to see if there is anything that can replace soaphorn.

At this time, Gu Manniang regretted it very much, when she was studying, she chose liberal arts for Mao, if she studied science, maybe soap, laundry, etc., she would let them come out in advance. With these, why should she not worry about getting rich.

However, this is just in her heart, and she may not be able to see these soaps again in this life.

Tang Xiaobao, this child, may be the reason why he was raised well, the hair at this end is very thick, and Gu Manniang looks very envious. Compared with Tang Xiaobao, Niuniu's hair is compared to him, that is, one in the sky and one underground.

If Tang Xiaobao's hair is Maosen's grass, Niuniu's is a weed. Life is not bad now, and Niuniu has grown a little flesh on her face. But the weed is still the same weed, and it hasn't changed at all.

"Niuniu, did my mother cut your hair?" When Gu Manniang washed Niuniu's hair, the more she looked at her weeds, the more unpleasant it became, and finally decided to cut Niuniu's hair with scissors. This is not to make her pleasing to the eye, to cut Niuniu's hair, but also for Niuniu's good. It is said that if a child's hair is not good, if he shaves his head a few times when he is young, his hair will become better. Although Gu Manniang didn't know if this was true, in order for Niuniu to have dense hair in the future, Gu Manniang decided to cut Niuniu's hair now.

"Like this?" Niuniu tilted her head and looked at Gu Manniang.

"It's not." Although Gu Manniang also cut her hair, Gu Manniang just cut her hair short, and she was going to shave Niuniu's head.

"Niuniu, look at how beautiful my brother's hair is, wait for my mother to cut your unsightly hair, and when new hair grows in the future, it will be as beautiful as my brother's hair." Gu Manniang was afraid that Niuniu would know that she didn't look good if she cut her bald head, and she was afraid that she would not agree, so she hurriedly persuaded her.

Niuniu is still young now, and she doesn't know beauty and ugliness at all. Therefore, there was no need for Gu Manniang to persuade her, Niuniu agreed.

Since Niuniu agreed to cut her hair, Gu Manniang was no longer helping her wash her hair. Go straight back to the room to get scissors and prepare to cut Niuniu's hair.

Tang Tiezhu saw Gu Manniang holding scissors in her hand, thinking that she was going to cut her hair indiscriminately again, so he hurriedly said, "Manniang, the parents of this body hair and skin, you can't cut this hair casually anymore."

Since Gu Manniang cut her hair, in order not to make herself look too prominent, Gu Manniang would wrap her head with a headscarf every time she went out. was made by her like this, and a proper village girl didn't explain.

"Don't worry, I don't cut." Cutting it once is already deliberately alone, and if you cut it again, others are afraid that they will start to doubt.

"And what are you doing with the scissors?" Tang Tiezhu looked at Gu Manniang with a puzzled expression.

Gu Manniang raised the scissors in her hand, "Niuniu's hair is like a weed, I'll cut it." ”

Well, she doesn't cut her hair now, but now she's hitting her daughter with her idea.

"Manniang, don't mess around, this body ......"

"I know the parents of the body." Gu Manniang didn't have the heart to interrupt Tang Tiezhu, "I'm the mother who gave birth to her, so it's natural that I want to cut her hair." ”

This Niuniu's body, hair and skin are all parents, so she, as a mother, can naturally decide whether to cut Niuniu's hair or not. "What? Are you, a father, going to object to me cutting Niu Niu's hair? ”

Since Gu Manniang had made up her mind to do something, Tang Tiezhu knew in his heart that even if he objected, he would not be able to change Gu Manniang's mind.

Gu Manniang saw that Tang Tiezhu didn't say anything else, so she went out directly with scissors. Naturally, she shaved Niuniu's head, Gu Manniang really didn't have that ability, she could only use scissors next to her scalp at most and cut off her hair.

Gu Manniang cut Niuniu's hair in three or two clicks, and Niuniu, who cut her hair, immediately changed her appearance. How so? Much like a boy.

The hair is cut, and the head is naturally easier to wash. Tang Xiaobao saw Gu Manniang cutting Niuniu's hair, he thought it was something funny, and he wanted to clamo for Gu Manniang to cut it for him.

Gu Manniang immediately glanced at Tang Xiaobao, "I will cut your sister's hair, that's because your sister's hair is like a weed, not as good as your hair." If your hair is as ugly as your sister's, I'll cut it for you. ”

As soon as Tang Xiaobao heard Gu Manniang praise him for his beautiful hair, he stopped clamoring to cut his hair again. Children are like this, and when they see other children doing this, they will also join in the fun and clamoring for it. The reason why Tang Xiaobao wanted to clamo for Gu Manniang to cut his hair was that he only thought that there was any benefit to cutting his hair, so he was arguing for it. Now I know that the reason why his mother helped Niuniu cut her hair was just because Niuniu's hair was not good-looking. So, obediently didn't make any more noise.

Gu Manniang bathed the two children, the one who should wash her hair washed her hair, and the one who should cut her hair also cut her hair. After the two children took a bath, Gu Manniang didn't allow the two children to run away and make trouble again. I'm afraid that after just taking a bath, they will run around and sweat again.

Because Brother Gu Zhao was here tonight, Gu Manniang directly drove Tang Tiezhu out to lay the floor with Tang Dazhu. Although Tang Tiezhu also laid the floor in the house in the past, there is a little difference between the floor shop in the house and the floor shop outside.

Since Aunt Liu came, Tang Dazhu has also been working on the floor, and now Tang Tiezhu is accompanying him to play the floor, which can be regarded as a companion for the two brothers.

After driving Tang Tiezhu out, Gu Manniang and the others were also ready to sleep. However, Gu Manniang had just taken off her clothes and just went to bed when she heard a knock on the door. Gu Manniang couldn't help but ask loudly, "Who?" ”

"His third aunt, have you slept?" Aunt Liu's voice sounded outside the door.

As soon as Gu Manniang heard that it was Aunt Liu, she hurriedly climbed out of bed, got dressed, and kept answering, "Not yet, Auntie, you wait, I'll come over and open the door for you right away." ”

Gu Manniang got dressed and opened the door, turned sideways to let Aunt Liu in, and asked, "Auntie, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's nothing important, I just took the time to change a piece of clothing and sent it to Brother Zhao, I hope you don't dislike it." Aunt Liu said as she handed the clothes to Gu Manniang.

It turned out that today Aunt Liu saw that the clothes Gu Zhaodi was wearing did not fit, and secretly guessed that the child must be having a bad time at home, so she went back to mention it to her daughter, and Liu told Aunt Liu about Gu Zhaodi. Aunt Liu felt sorry for what happened to Gu Zhaodi, and Gu Manniang took care of her daughter, so she thought about making a dress for Gu Zhaodi to repay Gu Manniang.

But where did you go in a hurry to find cloth to make clothes? In the end, Aunt Liu thought about it, so she found a set of Liu's half-new clothes, and estimated that she changed a set for Gu Zhaodi.

"Auntie, thank you so much." Liu Da's behavior is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow, Gu Manniang is too late to thank you, there is a reason for disgust.

"My sister is also dressed in clothes, and I went to the lotus to borrow a set from the lotus just now. Auntie, you sent this set of clothes, it was really urgent. Thank you so much. Gu Manniang was not afraid of embarrassment, and told Aunt Liu about her difficulties.

"Hey, that's nothing compared to what you helped my daughter." Aunt Liu waved her hand disappreciatively. "I won't spare you to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow." The clothes were sent, and Aunt Liu didn't stay any longer.

Gu Manniang immediately sent Aunt Liu out, and she said thank you non-stop.

After sending away Aunt Liu, Gu Manniang took the clothes to Gu Zhaodi and asked her to keep them by herself. "You will wear these two outfits first, and then I will buy cloth and come back in a few days to make new clothes for you."

Brother Gu Zhaodi waved his hand again and again when he heard this, "Sister, it's enough to wear, so there's no need to waste silver." "My sister kindly took her back to the Tang family and didn't let her sleep on the streets, she was already very grateful, and she could still go to spend the money of her sister and brother-in-law's house.

"It's not just for you." When she went to borrow clothes from Lotus, she promised to make a kiss for Lotus at that time. The words spoken, the water spilled, Gu Manniang naturally spoke up. Of course, this child must not know about this, or she will not sleep tonight.

"Your two nephews don't have any clothes to wear, so I'm going to buy them too." Not only did she have to buy it for her two children, but she also wanted to buy it. The original owner didn't have a few clothes, but now Gu Manniang is drilling in the mountains and forests all day long, and these clothes are even more unworn, and they are all worn out by her. What's more, in the future, she will run to Fucheng, how to say that Fucheng is also a big city, if she dresses in tatters again, maybe someone will look down on people. It's not uncommon for things like this. Therefore, no matter how she goes to Fucheng, she must also dress well, at least not as unkempt as she wants to be.

"Then you can buy it for your nephews and nieces, and I won't need it." Gu Zhaodi still refused.

Gu Manniang didn't persuade her much, anyway, when she bought the cloth back, she would see if she could wear it.

After a dreamless night, when the rooster crowed at home, Gu Manniang was woken up by the people around her. Gu Manniang called out with some uncertainty, "Recruit brother? ”

"Sister, did I wake you up?" In the dark, Brother Gu Zhao was very flustered.

"Nope." Gu Manniang could hear it, and in order to appease her, Gu Manniang directly denied it. "Do you want to go to the toilet?"

Brother Gu Zhao hurriedly shook his head, "No, I remembered to make breakfast for the eldest sister." ”

Gu Manniang looked up and looked outside, there was still a moon hanging in the sky, "It's still early, you don't have to get up so early." Lie down and sleep again. ”

In the past, when Gu Manniang was in the past, in many farming texts, there would be a group of people who slept later than the dog and got up earlier than the chicken. Thinking about it, Brother Gu Zhaodi is one of these people. Who doesn't snooze at a young age, but she climbed down from bed early to make breakfast, you can imagine how hard her life is.

Gu Zhaodi obediently lay back, but lying on the bed, he turned over and couldn't fall asleep again. Gu Manniang heard the movement and hurriedly said, "When it is dawn, you get up to make breakfast, and after breakfast, you will watch Xiaobao and them at home, and your brother-in-law and I will go into the mountain ......."

There was a chattering sound in his ears, which made Gu Zhaodi very relieved. After a while, I fell asleep. When Gu Manniang heard the sound of steady breathing beside her, she also closed her eyes with peace of mind and continued to sleep.

After Gu Manniang had breakfast, she took Tang Tiezhu and them into the mountain, and Gu Zhaodi stayed at home. After Tang Xiaobao and the others woke up, Gu Zhaodi took care of them and had breakfast. Gu Zhaodi was an idle person, so after washing the chopsticks, he took Tang Xiaobao and them with him, ready to wash clothes.

Gu Zhaodi was carrying a pot of stolen clothes, and just walked out of the courtyard gate, when he ran into Gu Youcai, who hurried over to see her.

Gu Youcai was relieved to see Gu Zhaodi standing there safely.

"Daddy!"

"Hey!"

Gu Zhaodi called Dad, and Gu Youcai also responded loudly.

"Dad, why are you here?" After calling Dad, Brother Gu Zhao lowered his head and asked for a long time.

"Brother Zhao, Dad came to see you."

Gu Zhaodi thought that Gu Youcai was here to take her back, but Gu Youcai said to come to see her, and after hearing this, Gu Zhaodi felt indescribably disappointed in his heart.

"Brother Zhao, Dad is relieved when he sees that you are doing well." Gu Youcai saw that Gu Zhaodi kept his head down and didn't speak, and he didn't care. That's how the kid was young. "You are living with your sister now, and you must be diligent in the future, so as not to dislike your sister and brother-in-law. There are two taels of silver here, you take it first, and then come to see you when your father is free. ”

Gu Youcai stuffed the silver into Gu Zhaodi's hand, and left without looking back. And Gu Zhaodi looked at the back of Gu Youcai leaving, watched, and kept watching like this, until the tears in his eyes were lost and he couldn't see it anymore.
