Chapter 34: Bathing
Putting down the chopsticks, Old Man Yu leaned on crutches, bent over and sat on the Taishi chair, and beckoned Yu Fengwei to sit beside him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Tell everyone, where have you been these days? Is the bride price enough? Old Man Yu turned his head and asked Yu Fengwei with an earnest face.
Yu Fengwei grinned toothily and replied: "I took the money and the pillar to the 'Haolai Gambling House' in Xichuan County, I was unlucky at the beginning and almost lost all my money. Fortunately, I changed my luck later, and it didn't take long to win back nearly four hundred taels, and I saw that I had almost won, so I was afraid that you would be worried, so I hired an ox cart with the money and the pillar to come back. ”
After listening to his words, all the old and young people in the hall suddenly froze the smiles on their faces, swept away the excitement of the party, and fell silent in an instant.
Yu Fenghao was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yu Qiao sitting beside him in surprise, and he secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart for Qiao Qiao's divine prediction in the morning.
Yu Qiao held her cheeks with an indifferent face, although she had already guessed the truth, she was not as surprised as others, but she felt a trace of negative anger in Yu Fengwei's unscrupulous confession.
Telling the truth in such a grandiose manner without scruples is not a kind of revenge that goes to extremes and turns to the salted fish.
"Don't take this as an example, gambling on this thing, once you become addicted, it will be difficult to stop if you don't go bankrupt and your family is ruined." In the end, Old Man Yu had a calm face and warned Yu Fengwei in a serious voice.
"Don't worry, I'm desperate, isn't it all right now?" Yu Fengwei said, stretched out his hand and took out a few silver tickets of different denominations and sizes from his arms, and said to Yu Jianjian and his wife, who were sitting on the circle chair below: "I will hand over this money to the uncle and the aunt, and I will bother you to hire me and handle the marriage next month." Master, what do you think? ”
"Well, the eldest and his wife are used to running around the town, and I originally planned to hand it over to them." Old Man Yu nodded to Feng Wei and agreed.
Seeing this, Li took the silver ticket one step ahead of the reconstruction, and said with a smile: "Viagra, Dad, you can rest assured that the two of us will do this in a beautiful and decent way, and add glory to your face." ”
Bi Shi, who was sitting next to the old man, saw that the money was directly carried into his sleeve by the Li family, and his face suddenly collapsed.
When Li got the money, he sat with Yu Huacao on a circle chair that retreated to the back row, and whispered about how to decorate the yard for festivity, what things should be added to the house......., etc., so he ignored the displeasure of the first Bi family.
Yu Qiao raised his eyes and saw Bi Shi Tie Qing with a blue face, looking at Li Shi who was sitting below with a faint look in his eyes, and guessed some reasons in his heart.
She looked at it coldly, and an indescribable strangeness suddenly appeared in her heart; Yu Chongtian is Yu Fengwei's father, although the Bai family is not Yu Fengwei's mother, but he is also his nominal mother, but the husband and wife sat there quietly, no one cared, as if Yu Fengwei was the son of Dafang, and they were uncles and nephews.
In the dead of night, when he returned to his house, Yu Chongtian carried a bucket of hot water and poured it into the big wooden barrel for bathing, Bai stood on the edge of the wooden barrel, stirred it in the wooden barrel with one hand, and saw that the temperature was just hot, so he called Yu Qiao and Yu Xi to take a bath in the north house.
Yu Chongtian carried an empty bucket and went to the kitchen to continue adding firewood and boiling water.
There is no special room for bathing in the country. If the weather is particularly hot in the summer, the men and the boys go straight to the pond in the middle of the village to swim and wash at the same time. Women, little girls wash only at home, both in winter and summer.
If you want to take a bath at home, you can either take an open-air bath in the hallway in front of the kitchen door or take a bath in your own room.
Usually each room has its own barrel.
If there is a large number of people in the family, they usually wash in their own house. If there are only one or two households in the family, wash them in the corridor, because the corridors are built with sinks, so you don't have to worry about getting wet, and you don't have to worry about splashing water everywhere. There is no draining sink in the sleeping room, so it is easy to splash on the floor, and it is not very convenient to move the barrel in and out.
And the wooden barrels washed in the house, the carpenter generally makes them relatively high, so as not to splash out. The wooden barrel of Yu Qiao's house is close to Bai's waist, and the space is also very large, which can accommodate three people to wash at the same time. Therefore, Yu Qiao and Yu Xi, who were stripped naked, were successively carried into the bucket by the Bai family, and then she took off her clothes, stepped on the small bench by the bucket and stepped in.
There is also a bucket of hot water next to the barrel, and there is a scoop in it, so that it is convenient to add water when the water is cold.
"Mother, viagra is married, where is the new house?" Yu Qiao listened to the discussion of the people in the room for a long time at night, and seemed to have said everything, but only the most important wedding room, but no one mentioned it, it seemed to be a very important matter.
"This ......" Bai was rubbing Yu Xi's back, and hesitated for a long time before he said: "Look at how your master arranges it, I don't know." ”
"Mother, are you happy?" Yu Xi suddenly turned his head inexplicably and asked Bai.
"Your eldest brother is married, of course my mother is happy." Bai Shi smiled slightly and replied without hesitation.
"But when I saw Viagra come back, I didn't talk to my father or you much, and he ignored us." Yu Xi tilted his head, his face full of puzzlement.
"Is Ci'er upset?" Yu Qiao asked slyly, then picked up the towel resting on the edge of the barrel, and wiped her arms, although she became a seven-year-old girl, she was still not used to people other than herself rubbing her bath.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I don't feel like Viagra is as good as my brother." Regarding the last sale of Yu Qiao, Yu Xi, who was still young and ignorant, did not understand the powerful relationship very well, and his thoughts were still simple and distressing, and he only knew that viagra was their eldest brother, but this eldest brother was not close to them.
"Don't talk nonsense." As soon as Bai heard this, he hurriedly spoke out to stop it.
Yu Qiao smiled bitterly, reached out and touched Yu Xi's bulging little face.
Even Yu Xi, who was only five years old, could see that Yu Fengwei was deliberately estranged from Chongtian and his family in the hall, couldn't the Bai family see it?
She couldn't help but look up at Bai, and saw that Bai's face was a little red, and there was a look of embarrassment in her eyes.
The stepson has a misunderstanding of her, even though she has a heart to reconcile, but she is not good at expressing herself, and it is difficult to resist the deliberate transfer of the Li family. In addition, Yu Fengwei later attracted her daughter's attention and almost killed Yu Qiao, she didn't really care in her heart, but she was actually dissatisfied.
But Yu Fengwei is her husband's eldest son after all, and her nominal son, even if he is dissatisfied, he can only quietly throw it out of his heart......
After taking a bath, Bai, who was in a bad mood, carried his two daughters into the house one after another and put them on the bed, while Yu Fenghao trotted to the kitchen to call Yu Chongtian. Yu Chongtian came over and carried the wooden barrel out of the house with Bai, and then poured the water in the bucket into the courtyard.
When the three Bai Niang finished washing, it was Yu Fenghao's turn to wash. Yu Fenghao was two years old, he was ashamed, and he refused to wash with Yu Chongtian, so Yu Chongtian had to follow him and let him wash first.
Because the weather is getting colder, I can't take a cold shower, and I don't need to take a bath every day, so the Yu family takes turns to boil water to take a bath, otherwise they will squeeze into a day to wash, and some people will be impatient.
