Chapter 54: Tidying Up
According to the memory, I returned to my home in the middle of the mountain, and what I saw was chaos, and it was obvious that it had been turned over. In order to handle the funeral for the owner's mother, the money that can be taken out of the family is taken out to the uncle, and the elders help to handle it, although the owner is in a hurry to arrange, but the owner still roughly tidied up the house, and now it is a mess, is someone here to find the jade fan?
In fact, in the memory of the owner, I have seen and heard of such a valuable thing since I was a child, including my mother who was sick in bed during this time, I have not mentioned it, if there is, there should be some last words or something, if not, why is the grandmother of the Zhang family so sure?
"Ah Qing, have you heard your mother say that our family has a jade fan that Grandma said?"
"No, never, sister, why does Grandma say we have good things?"
"Sister also thinks it's strange, let's tidy up the house first, and then my sister will give you a hot meal." Si Xi touched Zhang Qing's head, and then the two began to tidy up the house.
This is a common adobe house in the countryside, the walls are made of large adobe bricks, and the roof is covered with wheat straw. In the middle is the hall, with a picture of his father and mother and a wooden incense shrine on the wall, on which is placed a dark red ceramic-like incense burner and three apples, and the incense burner is almost burned with three incense sticks. In the middle of the hall was a wooden table, the top of which had a deep crack, and it looked like a square table that had been used for many years, and a bench on each side of the square table.
There is a room on the left and right sides of the hall, one for Zhang's father and mother, one for the body owner and Zhang Qing, the room for the body owner has two small beds, each against one wall, and in the middle is a newly made long square table, usually when they write their homework, they carry the square table to the courtyard, and bring it back at night to put things. There is a wooden cabinet on the other wall, and the clothes of the sister and brother are all placed in the cabinet, and now the cabinet door is open, and the clothes of the two are turned into a mess. There were also a lot of grains on the top of the cabinet, such as corn, flour, soybeans, and so on.
Zhang's father and mother's room is placed against the wall with a large bed, a 2 meters wide and 2 meters high square wardrobe, on top of which is cotton wool bedding, and below is clothing, but now the clothes in this wardrobe are gone, some of the old ones are thrown away, some are half-new and taken back by others to wear, and some of the clothes are burned in front of Zhang's mother's grave. Now all that was left was the empty closet, the bedding and the cotton wool that were all in the siblings' room. The bedding on the bed and the mosquito net were scattered in the corner of the bed, and the old ashes under the bed were scattered around the bed.
Si Xi exhaled heavily, began to tidy up, and with the help of Zhang Qing, he quickly put things back in place, because it was an adobe house, and there was no need to mop the floor or anything, just take a broom and sweep it directly. The sister and brother worked together, and the hall and the two rooms were neat and clean, at least it seemed so.
There is a side room on each side of this main house, one side is used as a kitchen, and the other side room is a side room for raising chickens and ducks and piling up sundries. The toilet is located behind the side house of raising chickens and ducks, in fact, a grass shed was built and a large pit was dug as a thatched pit, which is also the origin of natural fertilizer in the countryside.
On the other side, the chickens and ducks raised before were all slaughtered in the process of funeral, and now only stinky chicken and duck feces remain. Sixi didn't think about letting Zhang Qing raise chickens and ducks in the future, so he was going to get all the ground manure into the manure pit, and whoever wanted to take it to water vegetables and fertilize it.
By the time I finished doing this, I was already hungry, and I still felt hungry in this smelly environment, and I admired my strong adaptability. The kitchen was not much to tidy up as there were few utensils and sorting was quick. There is a well made of stone slabs next to the kitchen, and small stones are scattered around the well to prevent slipping.
Zhang Qing was very well-behaved because her sister didn't leave today, and she carried water from the well with a small half-bucket and a half-bucket, and poured a big iron pot. Sixi washed his hands and began to make a fire to boil water. They don't have to worry about the food now, there are still some post-funeral meals left in the kitchen, but fortunately the weather is cold, if it is hot, it will be rotten.
After the sister and brother took a bath and finished eating, it was already dark, Sixi took Zhang Qing to the courtyard and picked up a dead branch from the wall, "Ah Qing, you watch." After speaking, she danced, she danced the shadowless remnant flower of the last world, and now she doesn't need to cooperate with the heart, just have a shape and use skill, after all, there are not so many people who fly the eaves and walk on the wall in modern society, and the practice of the heart method is not practiced for 10 years.
"My sister is so powerful, my sister is so powerful! I want to learn too, my sister teach me quickly! Zhang Qing looked at Si Xi with almost adoring eyes.
Si Xi smiled slightly, nodded, the goal was achieved, of course, he didn't want to train Zhang Qing to become a martial arts master, but wanted him to learn some basic martial arts so that he could be fit and not bullied, after all, he still had a life after school.
"Ah Qing, you didn't know anything before, we have to start practicing from the basics, such as Zama step, and running, it will be very hard, are you afraid of hardship?"
It is estimated that this child has experienced from the death of his parents to his own sister to leave him to work, and his mind is extremely sensitive, for fear that he is afraid of hard work and tiredness, and his sister will go out to work again and leave him alone at home, so he said repeatedly, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." ”
"Okay, Ah Qing, tonight we will practice Zama step first, and my sister will practice with you."
After Si Xi corrected Zhang Qing's posture, he then walked with him face to face. She originally wanted to give Zhang Qingsu an example, but the reality was skinny, the owner had no exercise in this area except for physical exercise to help the family do some farm work since she was a child, resulting in Si Xi's brain now having a posture, but unfortunately the body muscles are not strong, now she obviously feels that the muscles are trembling, and her legs are slowly trembling.
Sixi: ......
In order not to admit shame in front of his younger brother, now Sixi is relying on willpower to insist. On the other hand, Zhang Qing on the opposite side may be due to his young age, although he is panting now, his gait is maintained very well, and Sixi is embarrassed.
It is estimated that it has been an hour and a half, and after finishing today's Zama step, Si Xi feels that this leg is not her own, and she does not obey the command of her brain at all, and Zhang Qing sits directly on the ground with her legs still bent.
At night, the sister and brother slept in a room, and Sixi said to him: "A-Qing, you have to get up early tomorrow morning, let's go for a morning run, and I'll teach you when you come back." ”
"Okay, listen to my sister, if I can't get up tomorrow, you must call me."
"Well, yes, go to sleep, you can go to school in two days, you can't delay your studies."
"Oh."
