25 Bathing
"It's a novelty, it's good, it's good!" The man who came to receive the birthday gift complimented.
"If you like it, if you have these two extra ones, you can play with them." Xiao Nan generously took out the two lighters and handed them to him with both hands.
"How good is this, in case the eldest lord knows that we have taken his birthday gift......" The man's eyes actually flashed with greed, but he was still afraid of the eldest lord.
"The eldest lord may not take a look at our birthday gifts. You don't necessarily know what I'm sending. Xiao Nan said, in fact, what he said is right, the young masters who can afford to give special precious birthday gifts are all powerful and powerful, and they must make a lot of money on the birthday gifts, and they must make a big noise, and other people's birthday gifts are as many as cattle hairs, and the well-informed master does not have the kung fu to check them one by one.
Of course, these green-clothed slaves are well aware of this kind of link, so they will personally go door-to-door to ask for birthday gifts.
"Hehehehehehe...... Don't talk nonsense when the thirteenth young man comes! "The green-clothed slave forgives Xiao Nan for his soft words, don't talk about the eldest master, he is not even qualified to enter the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, even if he talks nonsense, it can't reach the ears of the eldest master.
And he made it clear that he was giving gifts, how could he talk nonsense himself, you must know that the power of the green-clothed slave is very great, even if he is not of high grade in the green-clothed slave, Xiao Nan can still be rectified as if he was dead, as the saying goes, the little ghost is difficult.
"What do you always say, don't you have to rely on your care in the future......," Xiao Nan said with a smile, "I have been more familiar with the foreigners who are engaged in maritime affairs recently, if there is any convenience in the future, we will have to ventilate more, isn't it ......"
The man's eyes lit up when he heard this, he was fifty years old, but he was not willing to mix in the green slaves, even if he got some oil and water, most of them had to be filial piety to the peak, and there were ways to have oil and water, and they were all occupied by others, he looked like a beautiful appearance, in fact, plus things inside and outside the family, it was really incomparable with other "colleagues", if he could really ask for some benefits from this thirteen young people who no one cared about, it would not be bad.
Although he has been punished, the people of the Xiao family don't dare to deal with him, but the green-clothed slaves who are familiar with the inside and outside of the Xiao Mansion know that people like Thirteen Shao are the real invisible people, but they are far away from the internal struggle of life and death.
So he laughed dryly a few times and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
At this time, the young green-clothed slave said: "Master, I heard that foreigners' Western medicine is very good, why don't you ask Thirteen Young to ask those foreigners, and see if you can take your old lady to the foreigner's doctor to have a look." ”
Listening to his tone, combined with the situation observed when Xiao Nan and Brown chatted, it is not difficult to speculate that even if there is a Western Street and a foreigner area in this city, it is also a place where people with heads and faces go, people like the green slaves are still slaves in essence, and in this era, the people in the mainland are imprisoned in their minds, and there is a clear distinction between them and foreigners, and even the people still think that foreigners are ghosts and dare not approach easily.
"How can this be so troublesome for the thirteen young people......" The middle-aged man said stupidly, his mother has been sick recently, and she has taken a lot of medicine and has not recovered, he doesn't want to take her to see Western medicine, but he is really shy in his pocket, and several stalls at home have exhausted his savings, and Western medicine is really too expensive.
At this time, the hospital opened by foreigners was not a charity hospital or anything at all, but an exclusive privilege for the living elite.
Xiao Nan's heart moved when he heard this, and said, "What kind of illness did the old lady have?" ”
The apprentice-like green-clothed slave said: "The old lady of my master's family, a few days ago, she had to work by herself, and she was cut on the ground by a firewood knife, and then she couldn't afford to get sick, and her body was as hot as coals, and she was ...... when she saw it."
"That's an infection." Xiao Nan blurted out, "I happen to have anti-infection Western medicine." ”
"Really?!" The middle-aged man was pleasantly surprised, "Thirteen less! You really didn't lie to me?! If you can really save my mother! I, I'll make you a cow and a horse! ”
couldn't see that he was still a dutiful son, so Xiao Nan had to say: "I asked Sir Brown to bring me some Western medicine in case of emergency, just some medicine can save your old lady." I think it's better to do it without further ado, because the infection can't be delayed any longer! ”
"Ouch, you're such a living bodhisattva!!" The middle-aged man was so excited that he almost knelt down for him.
Xiao Nan had to take some more medicine he brought and handed it to Wan Yue to put in the women's cloth bag.
Then after coming out on crutches, he thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, and said, "If I go with you and am seen, it will not be good for your career, I will teach you how to use medicine, and you will use it for your mother yourself." ”
So he took out disposable syringes and medicines for injection, as well as painkillers and antipyretics, and explained the man's usage in detail.
After hearing this, the man clenched his fists and thanked him repeatedly, not only that, but also quietly stuffed the money that Xiao Nan stuffed into Xiao Nan's sleeve.
"Thirteen young, great grace! We must not forget it! He said gratefully.
At this time, Xiao Nan knew that his surname was Fang.
Judging from the fact that the old lady surnamed Fang personally chopped firewood, his family may be experiencing economic difficulties, Xiao Nan saw through it and sent the two people away, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Wanyue said: "Young master, you are really good, if you are always so kind, you are not afraid of ......"
"It's okay, these people are all subordinates, and we also need to cultivate some connections." Xiao Nan said, and suddenly felt a little conspiratorial.
It's really current events.
In fact, the money Xiao Nan gave him was the last money left in their house.
The Xiao family's "jubilant spirit" lasted all night, and the lights were lit up all night, and the servants who came and went to prepare the birthday banquet passed by the path in front of their door in an endless stream. It can be seen that this time there are many teachers and people, because on weekdays, people rarely walk this road. If it weren't for the fact that the other roads in front of them might be too congested, it is estimated that these people would not have taken this road.
And no one seems to care, or no one knows, that there were still a lot of corpses lying on this road just last night.
Wanyue was still a little panicked when she thought of this, she wanted to get some incense, burn some paper money in that place, and pray that those undead would not harass the thirteen young people, but she was stopped by Xiao Nan.
"If you want to pay tribute to them, you have to wait until the birthday banquet is over, otherwise you will be found to be dead if you burn paper on the birthday of the eldest master." Xiao Nan said.
"It's still the young master's thoughtfulness!" Wanyue was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat. She suddenly felt that if she was smarter, maybe she would be able to help Xiao Nan even more.
"It's okay, there are no ghosts in the world." Xiao Nan said, "Some living people are 10,000 times worse than ghosts, such as the eldest master." ”
Wan Yue covered his mouth: "Young Master! If these words are heard by others, they will be killed! ”
According to the rules of the Xiao family, during the birthday banquet of the eldest lord, the whole family cannot turn off the lights, so every household must turn on the lights.
Even outside their bleak foyer, they were hung up with a festive red light.
The rain became heavier and heavier at night, and the sound of the rain even drowned out the constant noise of the people below.
After Xiao Nan had dinner, Wanyue went to boil water to wash him. Since Wanyue came to his yard, he has been involved in a lot of things, and he himself has been lying for a long time because of his injury, so he ignored some things, and only then did he remember. When Wanyue came in with a basin of hot water, he asked, "Wanyue, did you boil water for me to wash every day like this?" ”
"Yes! Is there anything wrong? I fetched the water from the well in the yard, and it was quite convenient. Wanyue said, "The water is very clear, and we use the water from the well for drinking and cooking." ”
"You haven't been to the bathroom? Right behind my room. Xiao Nan asked again.
He remembered that there was a side room behind the bedroom, which was a very modern bathroom, but it was separate from the bathroom.
"It was locked up there and I thought there was something important. What is Bathroom? Wanyue asked curiously.
"Go pick the lock and clean it up." Xiao Nan scolded himself for being confused, why did he think of such a thing at this time. It seems that he almost forgot about this stubble himself.
So the two came to the bathroom door again, and it took a long time to smash the iron lock bolt on the wooden door, Wanyue didn't know what he was going to do with this door in the middle of the night, when he finally opened the door, there was an electric light inside, and after turning on the light, it was not too dirty inside, but Wanyue was taken aback.
Because it was the first time she saw the kind of shower head water pipe for shower, the original thirteen young man prepared a wooden chair in the bathroom, and kept it for sitting and showering, in addition, there was only one pulled tarp curtain in the bathroom of about a few square meters, a mirror on the wall, and a towel and clothes rack.
The floor above ground is a fashionable foreign floor tile, and of course there are special drains.
"What are you doing here?" Wanyue asked Xiao Nan.
"This is the place to take a bath, and the handle under the tube is hot water to the right and cold water to the left. You can come here when you take a shower, but don't drink the hot water here. Xiao Nan said.
"And the hot water comes out automatically?" Wan Yue was surprised. She opened the valve in disbelief, and hot water really came out - or the Xiao family is really rich, and the standard of living is close to that of modern people decades later.
"I guess this kind of pipeline is one, the thirteenth aunt back then, oh, my mother was installed when she was alive, and it can't be dismantled at will, but it gives us convenience. Otherwise, with my identity, I don't think I would have installed such a high-end thing at all. Xiao Nan said, "You can come here to take a bath in the future, you can wash when you want, anyway, the water is supplied by the boiler room." ”
I guess it's to prevent people from coming in and using hot water privately, so it's locked up on weekdays.
But now there were no other people in the courtyard.
Then Xiao Nan gave Wanyue a piece of soap and a bottle of shampoo. It wasn't something he took from the car, it was something he brought himself.
"This is the legendary fragrant pancreas! [Soap]" Wanyue said happily, "It's so fragrant!" ”
"You'll smell good when you're done." Xiao Nan said, "I took a few more pieces and put them on the water platform, and you will use this to wash your hands frequently in the future, and be hygienic." ”
"Thirteen less, the things you give are always so good!" Wanyue said happily.
"That's all I have. Alas. Xiao Nan sighed, "We are still very poor." ”
"I think you will get ahead sooner or later!" Wanyue said with confidence.
