8. Men should do the heavy work
"Zimeng, don't wash it, the second brother will wash it!" Xiao Zixuan felt sorry for his sister and hurriedly persuaded him.
Xiao Zimeng sighed, and said crisply: "It's not cold, second brother, let's wash together, and we can go home early!" ”
Xie Yuluo stood two meters away, her nose was sour, but she said with a smile: "Zixuan, Zimeng, it's dark, why don't you go home yet?" ”
As soon as the two children heard Xie Yuluo's voice, they stood up suddenly.
Xie Yuluo saw it clearly, this should be a stress reaction formed after suffering a huge fear, facing Xie Yuluo, the two children were as timid as mice.
Xie Yuluo didn't dare to step forward, for fear that the two children would fall into the water if she walked forward, she turned around and smiled: "Come home and eat, I cooked the pursed cabbage gnocchi, and there were eggs in it, I promise, it is as fragrant as the lunch food!" ”
It was gray, it was dark early, and as soon as the sun set, it was almost impossible to see clearly.
Fortunately, along the way, every household was still lit up, Xie Yuluo walked in front, followed by two brothers and sisters.
Xiao Zimeng looked at Xie Yuluo in front of him from time to time, and then looked at Xiao Zixin on the side, very puzzled in his heart.
In the morning, they were given honey water, sweet pastries were eaten, egg cakes were made for them at noon, egg drop soup was made, and in the evening, they were cooked, and when they couldn't wait for them, they came out to look for them.
When has Xiao Zimeng ever seen Xie Yuluo like this, today is a day, and the shock to her is big enough.
She was puzzled.
It's not just her who is puzzled, Xiao Zixuan is also the second monk who is puzzled.
I ran out to find my eldest brother without combing my hair in the morning, and said things like that to my eldest brother, and I smiled at them all day long, and made things for them to eat with my own hands, what happened to this woman?
There were many doubts in my heart, but such a gentle and kind Xie Yuluo......
Xiao Zixuan looked up at the figure in front of him, pursed his lips, and a trace of hope flashed in his eyes, but he immediately thought that this woman was moody, and that trace of hope quickly disappeared.
For dinner, I did eat the gnocchi soup with shepherd's cabbage, Xie Yuluo had good craftsmanship, and the ordinary bowl of gnocchi soup with only oil and salt could be made by her. Just like noon, they still ate in the house of the two children, Xie Yuluo drank the last mouthful of soup, and the two children also put down the bowl.
Before Xie Yuluo could speak, the two children obediently took the bowl and took Xie Yuluo's bowl into the kitchen.
Xie Yuluo followed behind and entered the kitchen.
At night, at this time, there is no other entertainment except sleeping, Xie Yuluo likes to soak her feet before going to bed, especially in cold weather, soak her feet in hot water, and sleep soundly and sweetly at night.
Before eating, Xie Yuluo had already washed the cauldron, scooped a pot of water into the pot, and added a handful of firewood to the stove, and now the water is scalding and can be washed.
Xie Yuluo leaned on the door frame and said to the two brothers and sisters: "The water in the cauldron is hot, you use it to wash your face and feet!" ”
In order not to make the two children uncomfortable, Xie Yuluo went back to her house after speaking, planning to wait for the two children to wash themselves before washing. After waiting for a while, there was movement at the door, Xie Yuluo opened the door and saw that there were two buckets of water at the door, one hot and one cold.
This should have been placed by Xiao Zixuan at his door.
Xie Yuluo doesn't know if these two children are afraid of their own strength and power, or if they are so obedient and sensible, no matter what, the character of these two children is really not picky.
Honest and simple, kind and sensible, obedient and diligent, the excellent peasant baby has these two children. But Xie Yuluo, who is also a peasant baby, why doesn't she have it?
Arrogant, arrogant, and domineering, the vice of a brutal and willful lady is ten out of ten.
On the first night of another world, Xie Yuluo thought that she would have insomnia, but her feet were warm and warm, and when she turned over, Xie Yuluo fell asleep.
A good night's sleep.
Anyway, when I opened my eyes, it was already dawn outside, there was no clock, I really didn't have any sense of time, anyway, I went to bed early last night, and when I woke up, I was refreshed, Xie Yuluo got dressed and went to the kitchen.
She remembered that there was a little bit of water left in the tank, and she had to carry water to wash her face.
Who knew that when I got closer to the water tank, it was full of water, and Xie Yuluo's beautiful face was reflected. Xie Yuluo was taken aback, and when she turned her head, she saw Xiao Zixuan coming in with a bucket and swaying.
It turned out that the child had gone to carry water early in the morning.
Xiao Zixuan is young, his body is also thin, he can't pick a full bucket of water, he can only pick a small half bucket and half a bucket, this large tank of water, he has to go back and forth more than ten times before filling the water tank.
Xiao Zixuan had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his anger was a little rough, and he was a little surprised to see Xie Yuluo in the kitchen, but he still came in stunned, poured water into the water tank, and then organized the bucket and flat shoulder, and was about to go out.
Xie Yuluo called out to him: "You picked this tank of water?" ”
After asking Xie Yuluo, she regretted it, she is the only adult in this family, she didn't pick it, Xiao Zimeng's small body is even more impossible, in addition, isn't there only Xiao Zixuan left?
Xiao Zixuan was stopped, he didn't expect Xie Yuluo to ask this, he stood aside stiffly, nodded, and hummed.
Seeing that he was afraid of himself, Xie Yuluo was a little embarrassed, she touched her nose and said, "That, I'...... I was going to pick it myself! ”
She didn't expect a child to carry water!
Xiao Zixuan quickly raised his eyes, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, Xie Yuluo hadn't understood yet, Xiao Zixuan had already lowered his head: "When the eldest brother was at home, the water at home was picked by the eldest brother, and now that the eldest brother is gone, I should pick this water!" ”
"Well, you...... You're still young! Xie Yuluo was a little shocked when she heard Xiao Zixuan say so many words for the first time.
"The eldest brother said that the heavy work should be done by men. I've grown up and become a man! Xiao Zixuan said seriously.
Hearing Xiao Zixuan say that he was a man, Xie Yuluo laughed with a "poof".
Macho?
An eight-year-old man, as thin as a little quail!
Perhaps thinking that Xie Yuluo was mocking himself, Xiao Zixuan took two steps back, his head hung lower than just now, his hands were tightly placed on both sides of his side, hooking his head, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded.
Xie Yuluo realized that she had made a mistake, and hurriedly apologized: "That, Zixuan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that just now, I mean to say, you are too thin, and the job of carrying water should be done by me, an adult." ”
Xiao Zixuan didn't dare to raise his head, and Xie Yuluo naturally missed the stunned in his eyes.
This woman actually opened her mouth to say sorry to him?
He either had auditory hallucinations, or he got up early this morning to do things, and his tired brain was dizzy.
