Chapter 7: Who is this child?
It's too expensive to buy all the ready-to-wear clothes, and she can't afford it, but if the child doesn't change clothes or diapers, he will get a rash and stink on a hot day.
It cost 25 wen to buy small clothes for the child.
Tearing cloth, because the child is small, he doesn't need much fabric, and he can sew two pieces of fabric, which is only fifteen yuan.
The strap cloth used 10 wen.
I bought some leftover rags that could make diapers and menstrual belts, and spent another five cents.
She also bought herself a blue coarse cloth dress ready-to-wear, adults use a lot of materials, naturally it is much more expensive, and the cheapest style with nothing to speak of also cost her 75 Wen.
After wrapping up her things, Liu Ruyue went to the pawn shop again and bought two dead clothes.
A set of coarse cloth dresses and a set of slightly more gorgeous silk clothes add up to a lot cheaper than buying new clothes in the cloth village, and the two sets of old adult clothes add up to only 60 yuan.
After all, the old clothes were worn by others, who knows if they were worn by dead people, although the pawn shop has washed them, but Liu Ruyue feels that it is better to wash the old clothes herself and bask in the sun, and she can wear them when the time comes.
It's okay to wear old pawn shop clothes by herself, and she's died once anyway, so she's not afraid of these.
But children have delicate skin, and it is not good to wear old clothes from pawn shops, so it is appropriate for adults to cling to children.
shoes, Liu Ruyue also bought two pairs of shoes at the pawn shop, a pair of cloth shoes and a pair of satin shoes, which were cheaper than clothes, and only cost her 9 yuan.
All of them were stuffed into the black coarse cloth package that the cloth village wanted, and she carried the child to the rice grain store.
I bought half a catty of rice, half a catty of millet, half a catty of corn flour, half a catty of flour, two taels of coarse salt, two taels of sugar, two taels of brown sugar, two taels of chili noodles, one tael of pepper noodles, two taels of pepper noodles, two taels of pepper noodles, two taels of ginger, a small jar of honey and other seasonings needed in the kitchen.
I bought another clay pot with a big bowl.
These expenses add up, and it takes 428 yuan.
Liu Ruyue's heart was extremely painful, but these things had to be bought.
In her previous life, she was sold in so many places, although not every thing she learned was useful, but the cooking skills she learned in Zuixian Lou were definitely the skills she could use the most now.
How do you say that?
Liu Ruyue thought about it, yes, just like those shopkeepers said, this is called reluctant to let the child not be a wolf, and if she doesn't invest the capital, she will spend more money later.
gritted her teeth and paid, Liu Ruyue carried her bags and returned to the inn with the child in her arms.
Back at the inn, Liu Ruyue did not go through the main entrance, but entered through the back door, passed by the stable, looked around, and there were four carriages parked.
She didn't stay long, and went to the counter with the child in her arms, "Shopkeeper, I want a bucket of hot water, and besides, can I borrow your kitchen to cook for the child in a while?" ”
The shopkeeper stopped his hand and said, "If you take a shower, you can use the kitchen immediately, but if it's time for a meal, then you can't, you can only use it after the meal." ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Liu Ruyue went upstairs, and the shopkeeper quickly brought her water and filled more than half of the bath bucket.
Liu Ruyue put the child on the bed, closed the window, took off her clothes, spread her hair, entered the bathtub, and immersed herself in the water, and her green hair spread out on the water like ink.
The warm water soaked into every inch of her skin, making her feel so comfortable that she wanted to soak in the water and never come out again.
Holding her breath for a while, Liu Ruyue felt the feeling of dying, and then broke out of the water.
The feeling of dying is really uncomfortable, whether she is burned or drowned, she does not want to die tragically in this life.
I washed my hair and face with soap, and washed all the dust and fatigue on my body with clean water, hoping that my troubles could be washed away together.
After carefully rubbing her whole body clean, Liu Ruyue got up, wiped the water off her body, and changed into newly bought clothes.
After wiping her hair for a while, her hair was no longer dripping, so she simply curled her hair up with a three-penny hairpin she had just bought from shopping.
I washed the clothes I had changed in the dirty water from the bath, and although some places were already torn, I could continue to wear them when the time came.
Put the clothes that have been washed twice in the washbasin, and call the shopkeeper to remove the water, and call a small basin of hot water.
The shopkeeper was accustomed to manual work, his hands and feet were quick, very quickly, he poured water, carried away the big bath, and sent a basin the size of a footbath, and filled more than half of the water.
Liu Ruyue also wanted to bathe the child first, but she really couldn't stand the stickiness, stinging, and smell on her body, so she simply washed it herself.
The things for the child, she has always felt that it does not have to be expensive, but it must be clean, although the child is not hers, just a strange child.
But this child, whether it is sent to her intentionally or unintentionally, she has to take care of it as her own child.
At this time, she soaked in Wujiang for two days, and walked under the bursting sun for four days, she had no way before, and she couldn't smell the smell or dirty in the bureau, but now she suddenly came back from twelve years later, like an outsider looking at her body, she really couldn't stand the smell of her body.
The bath water will not be used by the biological mother for the child.
Liu Ruyue picked up the child carefully, and as soon as she took the swaddling clothes apart, the child opened her eyes and looked at her with bubbles, as if she wanted to speak, and looked very cute.
"Auntie......." As soon as Liu Ruyue spoke, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, this child is now her child, "Mother will give you a bath, I pulled the stinky body stinky, and it will be fragrant after a while." ”
Liu Ruyue took off the child's underwear and found that he was red all over, not because of the rash caused by the hot weather, but as if he had been rubbed by the coarse cloth.
The baby's skin was tender, and he was carried around by the woman who didn't know if it was his mother, and he was rudely carried back to the county seat by those servants wrapped in swaddling clothes, perhaps because of this, his skin was worn out by his clothes and stuffy.
However, this is a bit too delicate.
Maybe it was rubbing the red and swollen skin when he was undressing, and the child was about to cry when he pouted, Liu Ruyue hugged him and put it in warm water, "My little girl, it's comfortable after taking a bath, don't cry." ”
Water is the source of all things, it calms people and has the magic power to make children feel like they are back in their mother's womb.
The child had long forgotten what he wanted to cry just now, and his little hands and legs were paddling like frogs in the water.
Liu Ruyue supported his neck and head with one hand, and the child's buttocks with the other, allowing him to play in the water for a while to get used to the feeling in the water.
After he got used to it, he put his right hand on his buttocks, still keeping his left hand on his head and neck, bathing him, and talking to him, "The baby is so good, like a fish, it's fun in the water, is the baby hungry, my mother will make you delicious food in a while, and make porridge for you." ”
While chatting, Liu Ruyue kept washing his front with her hands, and then turned over to support his chest, neck and chin to wash his back.
Washing and washing, Liu Ruyue's face changed drastically, and she stretched out her fingers and rubbed the back of the child's neck.
The oval birthmark was like dough, and after soaking in water, there was a feeling of whitening and soaking, which she rubbed off little by little!
