Xiaoliu originally thought that Liang's mother was talking for herself, but it didn't sound right.

"Hmph, you all bullied me, I went to take a shower and didn't tell you."

Li Niang patted her head when she heard this, "I forgot that there is still boiling water in the pot, I'll hurry up and take a look, you two have a good change of clothes, come quickly, Xiaoliu, you help Xiaoman." ”

Xiaoliu said that he was too dirty, so he asked Xiaoman to take a bath first, and even washed himself after washing.

Sitting in the wooden basin, the water temperature was just right, Liniang gently scooped up the water and poured it on Xiao Man's body, the pores were opened, and a warm building swam all over the body, Xiao Man relaxed his hands and feet and let himself soak in the water, he had not been so comfortable in the bath for a long time.

"Xiao Man, come and wash your hair, I smell your hair."

Xiaoman pulled his hair and sniffed it, "Hehe, why didn't I smell it, I think the smell is still fragrant." ”

"It's also fragrant, you can attract flies, and you're ready to go underground."

Xiaoman obediently waited for Liniang to wash his hair, Xiaoman felt that it was really good to be a child for the first time, and he didn't have to do it himself to wash his hair and take a bath.

After taking a bath, Liniang wiped the water on Xiaoman's body, wrapped her hair and hugged Xiaoman directly into the room, "Sister, I'd better put on my clothes, I'm going to wash my clothes." ”

"Where can your little hands wash clean clothes, don't worry, I'll wash it for you later, to ensure that it's cleaner than your own washing, my mother and I are making you a few more sets of clothes, and you can have a change of clothes."

Xiao Man hugged Liniang's neck and rubbed Liniang's face affectionately, "Oh, eldest sister is so good, so beautiful and virtuous, whoever marries you in the future will be his blessing." ”

Li Niang smiled self-deprecatingly, "Who will marry me."

Xiao Man hugged Liniang, stared at her eyes seriously, and said in an extremely firm tone: "Sister, you have to believe that in a corner of this world, there will be someone waiting for you, and one day you will meet." ”

Li Niang laughed out loud, "The little girl learned to speak one by one." ”

Xiao Man looked at Liniang's disbelief, and hurriedly said: "Sister, don't believe it, there is a legend in my hometown, there is no man or woman in this world, it is God who made a man out of clay according to his own appearance, and then he felt that the man was too lonely, so he helped him create a woman to accompany him, but this companion was made by God with a rib in a man's body, big sister, do you know where the rib is?" ”

Li Niang shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Xiao Man raised his hand and touched the bottom of Li Niang's left chest, "Eldest sister's ribs are here, which is close to your heart, some people say that if you meet the person you are destined for, you will have a sense of it, you will have a rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing, and your body is like being hit by an electric current, and some people say that women themselves are part of a man's body......." ”

"Xiaoman, what are you talking about, you can't understand it at all, what you say is the same as the real thing."

"Eldest sister, although I haven't experienced it from a book, I hope that eldest sister can meet the person you are destined to meet as soon as possible and find your happiness."

Li Niang lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly, her fair skin, slender neck, and jade chin had a beautiful curvature, "What does happiness seem to be?" I don't expect anything in my life, I can live simply, work with my own hands to support myself, innocent, I don't want anything else, I'm very content now. ”

Xiaoman was very distressed by Liniang, and called softly: "Sister......." Then he choked up and couldn't speak.

Li Niang hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, raised her head and smiled softly, "Oh, sister is fine, Xiaoman can't cry, it won't look good if she cries." ”

Gently wiped away Xiaoman's tears, and carefully wiped Xiaoman's hair, "Little fool, this is my life, you don't have to marry to be happy, I also believe that there must be someone waiting for me in this world, but I don't want me to meet him in this life, if I can, I hope we will meet in the next life." ”

"Why?"

"Because I am no longer qualified in this life, I hope that in the next life I can meet him cleanly and innocently, live a simple life, and have children for him."

Xiao Man didn't say anything, this is the knot in Liniang's heart, it can't be opened by saying a few words and telling a few stories, but Xiao Man has a new idea: find a brother-in-law for herself.

Xiaoman asked tentatively: "Eldest sister, if my future brother-in-law doesn't mind your background and past, are you willing to marry them?"

"How is this possible, how can someone not care, okay, don't think about it, hurry up and lie down and sleep."

Xiao Man asked reluctantly: "If there is really someone who doesn't care about your background and likes you very much, will you marry him?" ”

Li Niang held the sweat towel in her hand, clenched it and released it, "Even if he doesn't mind, I will mind." ”

Liniang blew out the candle and went out of Xiaoman's room, the room was dark, Xiaoman turned over, lay on the bed instead, looked out the window, there is no moon and no stars today, it's so dark, the ancient night seems to be much darker than the modern society, how is Xiaohuzi now? I don't know if he is scared again on such a dark night, whether he is crying, whether there is anyone to sleep with him, I don't know if he has brought him with him.

Thinking about it, Xiaoman felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep on his stomach unconsciously, and under the candlelight outside, Liang's mother picked up scissors, cut the thread, and shook it off to be a white undershirt, looking at the size, he knew that it was for Xiaoman.

After Li Niang finished washing her clothes, wiped her hands and came in, Liang's mother beckoned, "Li Niang, look at the size of the underwear I made for Xiaoman."

"Suitable, suitable, this Xiaoman is going to be happy for a long time, mom hurry up and go to sleep, maybe tomorrow will be very busy."

"Okay, I'll go see Xiaoman, and I'll go to bed later."

Liang's mother held the candle and gently walked to Xiaoman's room, seeing Xiaoman sleeping on her stomach, Liang's mother smiled silently, put down the candle, gently turned Xiaoman over, and then pulled a small blanket and gently covered Xiaoman's stomach for fear that she would catch a cold, Xiaoman was sleeping in a daze but could still feel that there were people around him, and subconsciously Xiaoman called softly, "Mother......." ”

A pair of warm big hands gently touched Xiao Man's face, "Mother......." ”

Xiao Man's brows were furrowed, his clothes were about to cry, and he slept a little unsteadily, Xiao Man was dreaming of being taken away from home. 、
