Chapter 23: Cleanliness

"Sister Qingyou, I feel that the death of Uncle Li and his aunt is not simple." Zhang Tieniu said suddenly.

Li Qingyou's heart chuckled, and these words were spoken to her heart.

"How?" Li Qingyou grabbed his hand anxiously, "What clues do you have?" ”

After all, he runs an errand in the yamen, and what outsiders don't know may be able to know a thing or two.

The girl's soft hands seemed to have no bones, slightly cool, like a piece of sweetened ice in the summer, cool to the heart. Zhang Tieniu didn't have the strength to think about anything else, but he felt that the blood in his whole body rushed to the top of his head, and half of his body was numb.

It wasn't until the fair-skinned slender hand waved in front of him that Zhang Tieniu suddenly came back to his senses, and his heart was stunned with the departure of the little hand in his hand.

At the same time, I secretly cursed myself in my heart, thinking about something messy.

Looking at the suspicious flush on his face through the moonlight, Li Qingyou was confused, "What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" ”

I looked fine just now.

Zhang Tieniu hurriedly concentrated his attention and said his own analysis, and the result was similar to what Li Qingyou thought, the old couple had no enemies, and their lives were passable, so there was no reason to commit suicide.

Li Qingyou was very disappointed, and Zhang Tieniu's heart was pinched when he saw it with dim eyes, "Sister Qingyou, don't worry, I just came back in the past two days, wait for Ming'er to go to the yamen to ask, maybe I can know some letters." ”

Li Qingyou nodded and thanked again.

After finishing the business, Zhang Tieniu should also leave, and before leaving, he still looked into the house without giving up, until Li Qingyou glared at him, and then hurriedly explained: "I just count whether there is water in the water tank at your house, I am okay with this effort, help you fill the water tank." ”

Seeing that his anxious face was red and his neck was thick, Li Qingyou sneered, "I only picked it up in the morning, how can I use it so quickly?" ”

Also, Zhang Tieniu scratched his head and looked at the firewood stack again, "If the firewood is enough, I'll help you chop firewood." ”

As he spoke, he was about to pass, but was stopped by Li Qingyou, "Wait for time, it's too late today." ”

Later, the neighbors will come back, and I don't know what to say.

Zhang Tieniu had no excuse, so he had to leave in a huff.

Li Qingyou kept sending him out of the gate before coming back, and as soon as he entered the house, he was busy looking at his brother's injury, and when she came in just now, she hurriedly looked at it, only to know that his leg was knocked down, and then he saw that his knees were bruised.

"Why aren't you careful?" Li Qingyou took the medicinal wine and rubbed it for him.

The medicinal wine must use some force to make the effect of the medicine work, looking at the aching teeth of Ah Di, he comforted: "Bear with it, otherwise it will hurt even more if the blood is bruised." ”

Ah Di nodded obediently, his big eyes blinked, and he suddenly asked, "Sister, does Zhang Tieniu like you?" ”

Li Qingyou's movements paused, the roots of his ears were a little hot, and then poked his head, "The little girl's nonsense is not ashamed." ”

Ah Di pursed his lips, obviously yes, Sister Qingyou still doesn't admit it.

After a while, Ah Di cautiously coveted Li Qingyou's face, saw her look over, and said, "Sister, I want to bathe." ”

In the past, when he was in the house, he had to burn incense and bathe every day, but now he hasn't bathed for more than ten days, and the whole person is unhappy.

This time, Li Qingyou refused without any hesitation, "No." ”

Ah Di flattened his mouth, and he didn't lose his temper, he just looked at her with his big eyes like glass beads, and Li Qingyou was powerless to resist his little eyes.

"Not really." Li Qingyou sighed and patiently explained: "It's too cold now, it's especially cold here, you take a shower tonight to ensure that you will catch a cold tomorrow...... Do you have a wind chill, or do you want to continue drinking bitter medicine soup? ”

Even if he was willing to take medicine, she didn't have any extra money to grab the medicine, knowing that at this time, a person with a cold might die.

Ah Di lowered his head, he was naturally reluctant to drink the bitter medicine soup, but it was too uncomfortable.

"Well, I'll boil more hot water later, and you can simply wipe your body and soak your feet." Li Qingyou took a step back, and saw that Ah Di's two big glasses lit up all of a sudden, and couldn't help laughing, the little kid is quite clean.

She has long discovered that Ah Di has a habit of cleanliness, this child has to wash his hands no matter what he does, and he insists on soaking his feet every night, and even taking her to soak his feet every day these days, which is really comfortable.

Li Qingyou didn't have this habit in the past, he was used to taking a shower every night in his previous life, but it was very inconvenient in this ancient world, and he got used to it over time.

There is also a brother's clothes that are changed every day, he was embarrassed to let her wash them, so he washed them himself, but he didn't, every time he got water in the stove room, Li Qingyou had to take it over and help wash it.

He would squat aside and watch carefully when she washed her clothes, and after a few days he was able to wash his own clothes, although he still couldn't wash them cleanly, but he insisted on not bothering her anymore.

Li Qingyou can also understand, after all, he is a child of a big family, in fact, he can live such a life without a little complaint, which is already very impressive to her.

That night, the sisters and brothers went to bed early, and when they slept until the third watch, Li Qingyou got up.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, it is time to open for trading.

The beans soaked the day before were brought out, and the moment he pushed the door open, a cold wind blew on his face, and Li Qingyou, who was frozen, shivered, and hurriedly boiled some hot water to wipe the graphite disc clean, scooped a scoop of beans and put them in the middle of the grinding disc, and pushed forward with both hands holding the grinding rod.

"Sister." Ah Di didn't know when he got up, stood beside Li Qingyou with his shoulders crossed, and pointed in the direction of the donkey shed, "Why don't you let the donkey grind?" ”

"My sister wants to exercise, and I'll let the donkey pull it later." It was a workout she started shortly after she crossed over.

Mainly because at that time she found the body too weak.

It's easy to say that it's just thin, and I don't know if I didn't take care of it after being "beaten to death" in the Shen family before, or if my physical foundation is too poor, and I will have a small cold every once in a while.

The body is the capital of the revolution, and she finally has the opportunity to live again, so she must exercise her body stronger.

Especially in this winter night, just looking at the donkey itself has to be shivering from the cold, and it can be warmer after exercising, which is a double win.

It's just that the stone mill of dozens of catties is really hard to push, and Yu Guang saw Ah Di Leng shrinking his shoulders and beckoning, "Come, you can also come over with my sister." ”

Ah Di has always been obedient to Li Qingyou's words, and he also walked over when he heard the words.

So on the night of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the donkey watched the sister and brother push the stone mill around and around, until they were both panting and sweating profusely, and then led the donkey over to continue the next work.

"Sister, why did you blindfold the donkey?" Adi said strangely......
