The second watch, seeking pink...... Lian Man'er squinted her eyes and soaked in the water, slowly scrubbing her body with a bristle brush,

"Man'er, wash your hair."

Hearing Zhang's voice, Lian Man'er opened her eyes.

Zhang moved a stool and put it next to the Lianman'er bathtub, and brought a basin of steaming and fragrant hot water and put it on the stool. Lian Man'er moved in the tub and rested her head on the tub, letting her hair fall into the tub.

“…… The hair is getting darker and darker, and it is still a prescription prescribed by Dr. Wang Xiaotai. Zhang said in admiration while washing Lian Man'er's hair.

"Needless to say." Lian Man'er said with a smile.

Lian Man'er went to Jishengtang and asked Lao Langzhong there to prescribe a recipe for washing his hair, which contained soap horns, as well as medicinal herbs and spices such as Shou Wu Chapter 455 New Year's Day, every time he washed his hair, he put a pair of such medicine bags into the water, boiled the water, and then let it cool down, so that it could be used to wash his hair. With this shampoo, the hair is washed clean and smooth, and the hair naturally has a fresh fragrance after washing.

Of course, wanting healthy, jet-black hair is not something that can be achieved by shampooing alone.

There is a cloud in the book, "hair is blood", and it is said that "the flower of the kidney is in the hair", that is to say, people must have sufficient qi and blood and good health, so that they can have healthy and beautiful hair. Lian Man'er once overheard Zhang's chatting with several older daughters-in-law, saying that the choice of a daughter-in-law should choose a big buttocks, so that she can give birth to and raise, and she should also choose a woman with thick hair and jet black, saying that this is the appearance of a suitable son.

These claims seem to have no scientific basis, and even Man'er believes that these are not absolute, but obviously, these claims handed down by people from the past are not made up out of thin air, and they also have their basis.

Zhang washed Lian Man'er's hair, dried it with a large cloth towel, and combed her hair with a comb. Then he took the grate again, carefully grated Lian Man'er's hair several times, and then took a large dry cotton towel to wrap Lian Man'er's hair and fix it on the top of his head. Then, I went to wash Lian Zhi'er's hair.

"Mother Chapter 455 New Year, rub my back." Seeing that the Zhang family helped Lian Zhi'er finish washing her hair, Lian Man'er shouted with a smile.

"Hey, here we are." Zhang smiled and poured a basin of water into the drain, picked up the kettle from the stove, and added some hot water to the two girls' bathtubs. Only then did he come over to rub Lian Man'er's back.

Lian Man'er put her two arms on the edge of the bathtub, supported her chin with both hands, and exposed her back, Zhang stretched out her hand in the water to warm up, and after making sure that it would not freeze her daughter, she took a piece of loofah and rubbed her back.

Zhang's hand was strong, and it hurt a little when he rubbed it on his back, but Lian Man'er didn't cry out in pain. Because after rubbing like this, it will be extraordinarily comfortable. This process of back rubbing is not only cleaning. At the same time, it also plays a role in relaxing muscles and invigorating blood, and even scraping. Lian Man'er enjoyed the process.

After taking a bath, Lian Man'er pulled out the wooden cork on the side of the bath barrel near the bottom, so that the water in the bath barrel naturally flowed into the drain next to it, and then she took a towel, dried herself, came out of the bath tub, and put on new clothes one by one.

After taking a bath, the two sisters, Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er, did not leave immediately, but walked to the stove and opened the cloth towel that wrapped their hair. Loosen your hair and dry your hair while you wash your clothes.

Zhang brought two large pots of water from the upper room, and it was her turn to take a bath. As for Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi, they are washing in the bathroom in the front yard today.

Zhang's bath, Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er rushed to wash her hair and grate her hair. Rubbing their backs, the mothers talked and laughed, and when they cleaned up and came out of the bathroom, it was already close to the hour.

The night of Chinese New Year's Eve was dry and cold, but fortunately there was no wind tonight, the light of the red lanterns hanging on the corridor, plus the light from the upper house, illuminated the entire courtyard, and the three women and children were wearing warm new clothes, talking and laughing quietly while walking on the verandah.

This cold night is actually not so cold, Lian Man'er thought with a smile.

The three of them cleaned up a little in the house, and then went to the front yard again. Even Shouxin, Goro, Xiaoqi and Mr. Lu were standing in the courtyard, and they all had a new look.

There were four firecrackers at the gate with bamboo poles, and fireworks were also set up in the yard, only to hear the big bell in the temple not far away, Gorou and Xiaoqi ran over with cheers and lit the firecrackers at the door.

The sound of firecrackers from far and near also rang out, in Zhang's words, as if "a pot was boiling".

Before the firecrackers were over, Lian Man'er, Lian Zhi'er, Wulang and Xiao Qi all took incense sticks and lit bundles of fireworks.

Not only was the night not cold, it was a little hot.

When the sound of firecrackers from near and far gradually subsided, even Shouxin and a few children also finished the firecrackers and fireworks, and then they exchanged good New Year with Mr. Lu and went back to the house to rest...... On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family got up early in the morning.

Lian Man'er wore a red dress today, from the inside to the outside of the obscene clothes are red muslin, the collared middle coat is also red cotton silk, the cotton jacket and cotton skirt with a standing collar are red dark satin, and the sheepskin placket long body gown covered on the outside is a bright red tuanhua satin.

The lambskin bought a year ago, the family made a piece, Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er are jackets, Zhang's is a jacket, Wulang and Xiaoqi are Dayu, because they want to wear it during the New Year, they specially invited a tailor to help cut and sew, so that they could be made in time before the year.

And Lian Man'er's body, including shoes and socks, is red, and even the ribbon with the bag and head has been replaced by Lian Zhi'er with bright red, which is deliberate.

Lian Man'er is 12 years old this year, and she has her first calendar year.

Dressed neatly, the family walked out of the door, in front of the imperial archway to put the incense case, headed by Lian Shouxin, the family knelt down to the archway. After worshipping the archway, the family returned to the front hall.

Lian Zhi'er, Lian Man'er, Wulang and Xiao Qi paid New Year's greetings to Lian Shouxin and Zhang's family.

Lian Shouxin and Zhang smiled and asked the children to get up, and took out four red envelopes and distributed one to each of the children. pinching the fat bulging red envelope, Lian Man'er's eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

Lian Shouxin and Zhang, as their parents, want to give their children New Year's money, so naturally they can't come out of the accounts of the public middle school. As the head of the family, Lian kept his promises and fulfilled his responsibilities, and advanced his salary and exchanged it for silver slots to press the New Year for several children. Lian Man'er got a double share this calendar year.

As for the year and month in which Lian Shouxin's salary has been advanced, then I can only ask Lian Man'er.

gave New Year's greetings to his father and mother, and several children gave Mr. Lu New Year's greetings, and each of them still got a red envelope.

Xiao Qi is so big, and it is the first time to take so many red envelopes, and his little face is red with excitement. He sneaked to the side, opened the two red envelopes, counted and counted the New Year's money, and then ran back and gave the two red envelopes to Lian Man'er.

"Sister, you help me save it." Xiao Qi said to Lian Man'er.

"Hmm." Lian Man'er took the red envelope and poked Xiao Qi's chubby face with her finger, "Xiao Qi, do you know no, you are now a little rich man." ”

Xiao Qi didn't speak, just grinned.

Although several children no longer work in the shop, they still receive pocket money from the income of the shop every month, and they also have their share of money every month when the sauerkraut shop opens. The money was not taken for nothing, even if they did not do menial work, but they sorted out the accounts.

In addition, every time there is a big profit, such as selling wine, corn, etc., several children will also get some money.

Xiao Qi never spends money indiscriminately, even if he has what he wants, as the youngest child in the family, there are fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters who consciously and voluntarily pay for him, so Xiao Qi's money is more and more saved. In terms of the amount of private money, in Lian Man'er's family, the eldest Lian Shouxin is needless to say the poorest, and the private money is negative, and the richest, except for Lian Man'er, is the youngest Xiaoqi.

In the first month, go to relatives, visit the door to pay New Year's greetings, receive relatives and friends who come to visit the New Year, but also invite guests, or go out to the banquet, the family is very busy for a few days, especially Lian Shouxin, almost every day to go out to the banquet, and even go to the banquet two or three times a day, Lian Man'er secretly pays attention, and some people, she asks Wulang to go with Lian Shouxin.

During the Chinese New Year, adults are busy, but children are the most leisurely and happy. Even Man'er was also idle, she and Lian Zhi'er only followed Zhang's family to eat Wu Yugui's house, Wu Yuchang's house, and then there was Wang Ju's banquet, so they were idle at home, and the kang was hot every day, and the two sisters were either doing needlework, or writing, and reading books.

On this day, the weather was fine, and the two sisters came to the village, first went back to the old house of the Lian family, and looked for Lian Ye'er.

Although there are so many empty houses, Lian Ye'er's family of three still lives in a small house in the west wing. However, the house was cleaned up by Zhao and Lian Ye'er, and the kang was also burned well, Lian Ye'er loaded a plate of fried hair, and the three sisters sat on the kang while snorting and talking.

"The third uncle and the third uncle, went to the door?" Because he didn't see Lian Shouli and Zhao when he entered the house, Lian Man'er asked.

"Clean and make a fire in the upper room." Lian Ye'er said.

Lian Man'er sighed, in order to maintain the empty house that no one lives in, Lian Ye'er's family of three has to go to the upper room and the east wing to burn the fire almost every day, because once the fire is broken, the house will freeze. After the frozen house melts, the rate of aging will accelerate.

This family of three is very responsible for taking care of the house for Old Man Lian.

After sitting for a while, I heard Lian Zhi'er say that Erya had been sick for the past two days, and the three sisters made an appointment to see Erya. Out of the gate of the old house, as soon as I reached the corner of the street, a man walked quickly from the stinger.

"Big niece,...... Oops, it's time to call it a niece...... Send the second watch, ask for pink...... Good book recommendation
