Chapter 15: There are lice

In this age of scarcity.

Washing your hair can be a hassle.

Most of the people in the countryside wash their hair and clothes with grass and wood ash water, and only a few people have soaphorn trees at home, or go to buy some soaphorn and come back to wash them.

Yu Pozi, who was drying rice in the yard, saw that Ye Qing didn't come out of the kitchen for a while, and then there were bursts of white smoke floating out of the kitchen, and her brows tightened: What kind of moth is this slut messing with?

"Third daughter-in-law, what are you boiling so much water for?"

Could it be the slut's idea to beat the two egg-laying hens in the house?

"Mother, Nanshan's hair hasn't been washed for a long time, and too much dirt on his hair is not conducive to healing, so I boiled water to wash him." Ye Qing replied in a light tone.

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't hit the idea on the hen that laid eggs at home, Mrs. Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to remind her that it was best not to wash it to avoid the cold, and then went out.

According to the memory left by the original owner, Ye Qing boiled water while taking out the ashes of plants and trees from the stove and stirring them in cold water, and then filtered and removed the ashes of plants and trees with a cloth towel full of patches.

When the water in the crockpot boiled, the muddy grass and gray water had almost settled.

After Gu Zhaodi turned over the rice in the yard and the dam next to the house, she came into the kitchen to drink water when she was thirsty, looked at the hot water in the crockpot, and then looked at the gray water of the grass and trees, and asked with some concern: "Third aunt, do you want to wash your hair?" You're not well from a cold or illness, so why don't you endure it for a few days and wash it again? ”

Ye Qing heard the voice, looked sideways, and saw that the person who spoke was the little girl Zhao Di.

This girl is the third daughter of the second room, ten years old this year, not too old or young, and she can't help much when she goes to the field, so she stays at home and dries the grain with her mother-in-law, she is a diligent and kind honest child, she looks very good-looking with her mother, but she is much darker and thinner than the male baby of the Gu family, if she is eating fat and raising white spots, she is definitely a beautiful little girl.

"Thank you Zhao Di for your concern, the third aunt will be careful." Ye Qing said with a good-natured smile.

The little girl smiled a little shyly.

The two were talking.

I heard Mrs. Yu outside the house and Gu Lao Er, who came back from picking rice from the field.

Ye Qing hurriedly walked out and asked with a smile: "Second brother, can you trouble something?" I'll delay you for a while. ”

"Third brother and sister, you say." Gu Lao Er nodded without hesitation.

……

Thinking of Gu Nanshan's body, Ye Qing felt that it was better to let him wash his hair in the sun in the yard, she was afraid that if he washed him in the house, the second brother didn't come back for a long time on his next trip, it would be troublesome.

Ye Qing put the three long benches at home together.

Gu Lao Er walked out with Gu Nanshan in his arms.

"Second brother, please turn Nanshan's head towards the end where the sun shines."

"Hmm."

Gu Nanshan was gently placed on the bench, only his neck and head were in the sun, and all from the neck down were under the shadow of the house.

"I'm tired of the second brother." While Gu Nanshan thanked his second brother, he sighed in his heart for his daughter-in-law's carefulness.

Gu Laoer, who was not good at words, looked a little embarrassed, waved his hand busily, and then picked up the basket and hurried to the field.

The third brother was tall and strong at the beginning, if it weren't for this family, for him, the eldest brother and the fourth brother, the third brother would not have become what he is now......

Thinking of this, Gu Laoer's dark face was full of guilt.

Ye Qing untied the hair tied with a cloth towel on the top of her husband's head, rubbed his greasy hair with her left hand, and just scooped half a scoop of water with a gourd in her right hand.

The next moment.

Suddenly, he saw the countless white lice eggs in his hair, as well as the lice wriggling and crawling everywhere.

"Bang~~~" The gourd scoop fell to the ground.

Ye Qing's hand on Gu Nanshan's head retracted like an electric shock, and looking at the scene in front of him, his hairs suddenly stood on end

What made her even more devastating was ......

The strand of her hair, which had been pinned behind her ear, had just fallen to her cheek as she bent over, and she looked at her hair, where the swollen lice were wriggling and crawling.

Ye Qing hurriedly slapped his hair with his hand, wanting to knock that thing to the ground.

Gu Nanshan turned his head to look at his wife, who was about to cry or not and had a frightened face.

"What's wrong?"

"There are lice~~~"
