Chapter 19 The sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth month is like flowing water
On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, Luo Yun really didn't remember what festival this day was. When she got up in the morning, Aunt Mei asked Luo Yun if she wanted to eat, and Luo Yun didn't think much about it, thinking that it would be good to have breakfast, just the two of them just eat noodles. Of course, what I told Aunt Mei was that I wanted to eat 'water induced cakes'.
Although there was no preparation in advance, the two of them were not in a hurry to eat. Aunt Mei mixed the noodles with freshly ground wheat flour, rolled out the noodles with her pure hands, and watched the noodles come out, ready to put them in the pot. Luo Yun snatched Aunt Mei's hand and said that he wanted to show Aunt Mei a hand, too complicated dishes would not be made, boiling porridge and cooking noodles, these simple things would depend on Aunt Mei's doing, and he would do it. Aunt Mei watched Luo Yun busy from the side, looking at Luo Yun Although he was clumsy, he could see that he still didn't do anything wrong, and she didn't know when he learned it. Since that night's 'hugging and crying', Luo Yun's speech and demeanor have become more cordial, and he has become more intimate with Aunt Mei. If Luo Yun used to regard Aunt Mei as his most important relative, now he really regards Aunt Mei as his mother. This kind of emotional change is not something that cannot be experienced by being in it.
After drinking the noodles very happily and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. Aunt Mei also unceremoniously called Luo Yun to come over to help, set up poles in the small courtyard and hung five clotheslines, and Aunt Mei took Luo Yun to take out the bedding and clothes of Luo Yun's father and mother in the study one by one and hang them on the ropes. It was also after emptying the cabinet in this way that Luo Yun knew that there were really a lot of women's clothes, even for a woman like his mother who had traveled from the city to the mountain village, the number of clothes she had accumulated was still considerable, and it also allowed Luo Yun to really see some gorgeous clothes that belonged to women.
It has only been a few years since the Tang Dynasty truly pacified the world, and the style of Hufu has not yet been integrated into the traditional folk costumes. When Luo Yun's mother came to the mountains, it was still during the Sui Dynasty, and I don't know if the noblewomen in Chang'an City have come up with any new tricks over the years. But his mother's clothes were still traditional. However, rubbing the silk fabric carefully, the touch is really too comfortable, and people are reluctant to let go. Luo Yun decided that he must buy more silk to make clothes in the future, and if his family has maids in the future, they will also wear silk clothes, this kind of fabric simply exists for women. He thinks that women should have their own piece of silk, whether it is clothes or handkerchiefs.
There was also a very light and transparent women's undershirt, Aunt Mei avoided Luo Yun slightly, but Luo Yun also looked at the opportunity to touch it out of curiosity. I don't know what kind of fabric it is, but the touch of my fingers is like touching my own skin. Thinking that this might be a piece of his mother's underwear, Luo Yun couldn't help but blush slightly and quickly let go. However, looking at the few luxurious clothes she had, Luo Yun couldn't help but imagine what a beautiful woman would look like in these clothes. We must make our family rich, and in the future, even if we don't look for a wife, we must let Aunt Mei wear these gorgeous clothes.
When the clothes are finished, it is the bedding. In the end, Aunt Mei called Luo Yun for help, and the two carried the case to the courtyard together, and put out the books handwritten by Luo Yun and his mother. Then, it was Luo Yun's turn to take out the clothes of the four seasons, from linen light clothes to fur socks, to dry. Approaching noon, Luo Yun wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and looked at the sun in the sky with his hands on the pergola. The sun in midsummer is really scorching, and the sun on June 6 doesn't know what special it is, I heard Aunt Mei say that not only to dry clothes and quilts, but also to make 'songs' for a while. It's not a 'song' of a musical song, it's a song with vinegar. Luo Yun didn't understand the specifics, so he just followed and watched anyway.
Soon the backyard was full, and Luo Yun ran to the front yard to set up a clothesline. Aunt Mei's family had fewer clothes, and Luo Yun once again made up her mind that she must let the whole family live a good life. Luo Yun helped finish drying the quilt, and watched Aunt Mei make music in the room for a while, and was kicked out by Aunt Mei, saying that this kind of thing makes Luo Yun's future wife learn about the same. Luo Yun was bored, teased the two little tigers for a while, and flipped through his mother's books. This kind of paper and silk cloth book should not be good after being exposed to the sun for a long time, he does not know the maintenance of books, and he feels that the whole book is warm, so he moved a few books back to the house and put them back on the shelves.
After moving the book, Luo Yun looked at his study, his father's room. Suddenly ran to the room to find Aunt Mei: "Aunt Mei, I want to move to the study to live." Aunt Mei, who was busy with her work, raised her head and looked at Luo Yun in surprise when she heard this, without asking why, after a little thought, Aunt Mei nodded and agreed: "I'll help you clean up later." ”
"No, anyway, the clothes and quilts have been removed, I'll just sprinkle and sweep it. There are still two small things that have to be moved over...... "Luo Yun is determined to take this opportunity to do a big cleaning, taking a broom and rags up and down the room, not even letting go of the cobwebs that have just been knotted on the beams of the house, all of them are cleared, and all the white clothes have turned into a black and gray. After sweeping the floor and splashing a little water, opening the doors and windows to ventilate and dry, Luo Yun was quite satisfied with the results of his work. Luo Yun, who was rarely diligent once, picked up the guy again and cleaned up the original room again. The room I have been living in is much dirtier than the room that no one has lived in for a long time, and although the surface looks clean every day, the dust in the corners is a thick layer.
Wait for Luo Yun to move the table and move the bed to finish the toss. Aunt Mei also walked out of the room, looking at Luo Yun's fancy face, she couldn't help it with a smile, but suddenly saw Xiao You running to Luo Yun's gray-stained clothes and rubbing them...... Aunt Mei finally couldn't help but laugh and bent over. Luo Yun's face was slightly red by Aunt Mei's smile, and he kicked Xiao You, who was not honest, but complained in his heart: This dress has wide sleeves and long swings, which is really not suitable for work. Of course, there are also clothes with short sleeves at home, but there is no Luo Yun. Aunt Mei didn't think about letting Luo Yun do any work, and the clothes she made for him were all in the style of the students.
Aunt Mei fetched a basin of water for Luo Yun to wash her face, Luo Yun squatted directly in the yard and washed it, looked up and shook the water droplets on her head, and saw Xiao You, who was also gray, stretching out his paws and holding the basin. A wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he grabbed Xiao Yu and pressed it into the basin with lightning speed. Then one hand firmly grasped Xiao You's body, and the other hand teased the water to bathe it.
In fact, tigers are very clean and water-friendly animals, and are very good at swimming, so there are usually pools or lakes near tigers' nests. However, as a little joke says, it may be very comfortable to pick your own nostrils, but if someone comes up and insists on picking your nostrils, I am afraid you will not feel comfortable. Tigers love bathing, but they definitely don't like to be thrown into the water all of a sudden. So Xiao You's resistance was very fierce, scratching, scratching, biting, and kicking were all used, but he didn't dare to come to the real thing, because as soon as Luo Yun held it down, he said in his mouth: "If you dare to stretch out your claws and break a little of my skin, I will starve you for three days!" ”
It is said that a toothless tiger is not terrible, but poor Xiaoyou can't really bite it when he finally grows fangs. Twisting his neck desperately, he opened his small mouth and grinded on the back of Luo Yun's hand, leaving a little red mark at most, and he didn't really bite it down at all. However, Luo Yun's skin has a keen sense of touch, and he feels that his teeth are quite sharp this time. So he reached out and stuck Xiao You's head, opened his mouth to look at its teeth, and stretched out his fingers to test the sharpness of the two big teeth. Well, it seems that the tiger grows fast, it's only been a few months, and this tooth should be able to tear and eat by itself.
Xiao You and Zhenyue's staple food now is still dry food soaked in water, or directly drink porridge, of course, the prey in the mountains is also easier to hunt now, so they can occasionally mix some meat porridge to eat. Before the two little guys grew to the point that Luo Yun couldn't hold them, Luo Yun didn't plan to let them eat meat directly. First, the amount of food for the tigers is too large, and unless they are put back into the forest to be self-reliant, they really can't afford to raise them with their current family conditions. Moreover, Luo Yun felt that instead of letting them eat blood every day, and then wait until their stomach was uncomfortable to eat grass, it was better to eat more cereals when they were young, although they were a little thinner, but at least they were nutritious and healthy. With the physical strength of the tiger, if you want to be strong, you just need to eat meat every day.
I don't know that my master is so abusive about his diet in his heart, and when he has enough trouble, he honestly let Luo Yun take a shower, and it is very comfortable to take a cold shower on a hot day. When Luo Yun finally had enough, let Xiao You go. Xiao You jumped out of the basin and shook the water droplets all over his body, and then ran to the small nest that Luo Yun had moved to the yard. Just as Luo Yun was about to pour out the black water in the basin, he saw Xiao You biting Zhen Yue's neck, just like a female tiger holding a small tiger, dragging Zhen Yue directly in front of Luo Yun. Zhenyue desperately grabbed the ground with his limbs and paws along the way, but he couldn't stop Xiao You's advance.
Luo Yun was stunned, this physical fitness seems to be indeed destined. These two little guys eat the same and play the same every day, but they didn't expect that now Xiao You can so easily subdue and drag Zhenyue, who is almost as heavy as him. It is worthy of being a different species, and it does have its own extraordinary. Look at Xiao You's meaning to let him wash Zhen Yue too, of course Luo Yun has no opinion, splashed the dirty water and hit a basin, took Zhen Yue from Xiao You's mouth, and washed it directly in the water as concocted, Xiao You will enjoy it, and directly picked up the edge of the basin and looked at himself and jumped in, rolling and washing again.
In fact, the two little tigers have been at home for a few months, and it is not the first time to take a bath, but the small ones used to be more honest, and the older they are, the more difficult it is.
In June, Luo Yun frolicked with the two little ones for a while, and secretly took a big radish from the grain depot for the two little tigers to gnaw and play, all grinding their teeth. The sun is in the west, and there is a melodious and high-pitched mountain song in the quiet mountain village, not in the tune, not in the lyrics, listening to it is a joyful mood. Aunt Mei also walked out of the room, still holding the clothes that were being folded in her hand, listened attentively, smiled heartily after a while, and said to Luo Yun: "I didn't expect them to come back today, there should be an assembly in the city and town, why are you in such a hurry......" said anxious complaints, but looking at the smile on Aunt Mei's face, she was still happy that Uncle Wu and they could rush home during the festival. Beckoned Luo Yun to hurry up and help collect the clothes and quilts to dry together, otherwise Uncle Wu and Mu'er would come home in a while, and such a mess would not look like a mess.
The main thing is to dry so many Luo Yun's mother's clothes, so that others can see that it is not good, in short, it is taboo. Although Aunt Mei didn't say it explicitly, she meant it. According to Luo Yun's thoughts, his mother's clothes were still in the big box in the original room. Even the jewelry objects used by Luo Yun's mother, as well as the "Chronicles of the Clouds and Mountains", were all included. As for Luo Yun's father's clothes, firstly, there were relatively few of them, and secondly, most of them were his mother's needlework, and the workmanship was very exquisite. Luo Yun made a gesture on his body, and found that his size and his father were really not on the same level, so Aunt Mei looked at what could be changed and changed it smaller, and put it away if it couldn't be changed.
The bed was made, Xiao You and Zhenyue's nest were moved in and put away, and their clothes were packed into the wardrobe in the room, and Luo Yun's 'move' was completed. Luo Yun originally wanted Aunt Mei and Uncle Wu to move directly to his house, but when Aunt Mei heard this, she couldn't help but turn red when she looked at Luo Yun, but she still shook her head and refused. Luo Yun saw that Aunt Mei's attitude was very firm, so he didn't say much. I just feel that in this day, he found a lot of reasons to motivate him to make money and make a fortune.
Luo Yun helped Aunt Mei just move the clothes in the front yard into the house, when she heard a disturbance outside, and Luo Yun rushed out to take a look. I saw that the fourth uncle and Uncle Wu were leading a few men who had never seen it and just entered the courtyard. Uncle Wu was beckoning them to put the backpack on their bodies first, and the guy in his hand put it away first, and packed up his body. Listening to Uncle Wu's words, he was afraid that he would collide with a few of them. Luo Yun couldn't help laughing, he really became a 'noble', just about to meet him, he heard the fourth uncle answer a sentence on the side, and said that Luo Yun's legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"You guys! Don't look at us in the middle of nowhere, pout, and tell you that my eldest nephew is a decent man who has studied in the city! Pack up all your body, if you upset my nephew. Hmph, even if you climb the mountain road for dozens of miles in vain, there will be no one in the village who will give you a night! ”
This fourth uncle, I haven't seen him so domineering before. It seems that he should inquire carefully whether the ancestor of Li Jiazhai has really been a bandit.
