Chapter 41: Noticeable Changes

Ji family.

After saying goodbye to Cao Chuan, who sent Mu Chen directly to the county seat to make a train, several members of the Ji family returned home.

When you get home, even if it's a little late and it's almost time to cook. But when I saw that the whole body was dirty, it seemed that there was a layer of black mud shell on the outside of the skin; The hair was long, almost up to the shoulders, and it was still tied in a knot; There are bursts of indescribable taste from Cao Fengnian, and Chang Fengying, who has always loved cleanliness, really can't bear it for a moment.

What can I do if I can't bear it?

Of course, you can only mobilize the whole family and work together to clean up the people first.

So as soon as she got home, Chang Fengying didn't pause, and immediately instructed Ji Beibei and Ji Aizhen to hurry up and find out all the clothes and pants that Ji Zhanpeng wore last season and had not had time to send to her nephew. According to Cao Fengnian's size, he will first give a simple set of changes, lest he will have no clothes to wear after being washed for a while.

Then she looked at the water drying in the bathtub in the yard. estimated that the water would not be enough, and without hesitation, he asked Ji Kuan, Ji Zhanpeng and his son to go to the kitchen to boil water.

Although it is summer, because of family conditions, she has always been accustomed to using cold water to wash when she was young, and Chang Fengying, who inevitably leaves a lot of problems when she is older, has always not advocated asking children to use cold water directly, even in summer, in hot weather, she will insist on letting the children and Ji Kuan wash with warm water like herself.

Now that Cao Feng has come to their house, in Chang Fengying's opinion, he is his own child, so he naturally has to follow the habits of the family.

Before asking Ji Kuan to boil water, Chang Fengying thought about Cao Fengnian's knotted hair on his head, and he didn't know if there were lice?

There's no need to wash them hard, it's more worry-free to cut them directly.

wanted to get scissors again, Chang Fengying was not sure that Cao Feng's newcomer would continue to sit obediently and wait for her to move the scissors. This knife is eyeless, she didn't dare to do it alone, so she asked Ji Kuan to stay and help hold down Cao Fengnian. Only then did she dare to roll up her sleeves and start her hands, and shaved Cao Fengnian's head with three divisions and five times.

When he didn't want to shave his head, Cao Fengnian was unusually cooperative throughout the whole process, and he didn't resist, let alone sit there obediently, telling him to bow his head and bow his head, and tell him not to move...... A command, an action, there is no resistance at all. His well-behaved Chang Fengying secretly called him strange, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel more distressed about him.

After shaving her hair, Chang Fengying used scissors to cut off Cao Fengnian's tattered clothes and pants in one go. After instructing Ji Kuan to clean up the rags and send them to the stove with Cao Fengnian's cut hair, she stretched out her hand, passed her hands through Cao Fengnian's armpits, picked them up directly and put them in the bathtub.

There was a moment of fear on Cao Fengnian's face when he first entered the water, but when he felt that the water surrounding him was warm, warm and baked by the scorching sun, and the long-lost comfortable feeling of being wrapped in the warm water made his face look confused again.

He cautiously glanced at Chang Fengying, and when he saw Chang Fengying, he naturally gave him a smile back, regardless of whether he understood it or not, he showed him the soap in his hand, and said to him in a child's voice with a pleasant face: "Be good, wash the fragrance and rub the bubbles." ”

He blinked again. When he smelled the trance and familiar smell of soap on the tip of his nose, the faint panic in his heart seemed to be calmed by someone at once, which made him feel extremely relieved. He relaxed, and his mouth unconsciously followed: "Wash the fragrance." ”

"Yes, wash incense." Chang Fengying grabbed one of Cao Fengnian's arms to fix him, wiped the soap on him first, and began to rub it with his hands; While his mouth didn't forget to echo, he nodded and continued to read, "Fengnian is obedient, don't move." Wash the incense. Do not wash dirty, sick. ”

"Wash the incense, wash the incense ......" The confused look in Cao Fengnian's eyes gradually dissipated. The warm water, the soap with a familiar aroma and rich bubbles, and even Chang Fengying's movements made him feel familiar, and his expression began to come alive. even nodded, a little excitedly cooperating with the water to pry himself, and kept repeating in a whisper, "Xiangxiang, wash Xiangxiang." ”

"Hey, good boy, let's wash the fragrance and wash the white."

Looking at Cao Fengnian's obvious changes, Chang Fengying believed more and more in what Ji Beibei said before, he was actually not stupid, it was very likely that he was just frightened by his parents' tragic situation for a while.

Thinking of Cao Fengnian's reaction, it should be thinking of the situation when his own mother bathed him before.

thought of the kind of life that pigs and dogs were not as good as his grandfather and grandmother after he lost his parents. Her nose suddenly became a little sour. His eyes blinked, and he wanted to blink back the tears that welled up in his eyes: it is really a treasure for a child with a mother, and a child without a mother is sometimes not as good as a grass.

Thankfully, he's at their house now. In the future, I won't say how good my family is to the child, but no matter what, I can't let him be hungry and freeze anymore, and he will live the days without clothes like before--

Emotion is emotion, Chang Fengying's movements in her hands have not stopped.

Although Cao Fengnian was unusually well-behaved, he didn't dodge Chang Fengying no matter how he scrubbed it, let alone lost his temper. Soaking in the water, especially every time he changed the water and re-soaped him, he even showed a little appearance of intoxication and enjoyment, which made Chang Fengying laugh several times.

But this little black clay figure has been washed to the extent that people can be seen, and the project is too huge. After changing the water back and forth several times, not to mention, even the soap was used half of it at one time. It made Chang Fengying's whole person completely tired.

In her words, "It's more tiring than a day's work in the field." ”

But the hard work is clearly worth it.

Waiting for Cao Fengnian, who was finally whitewashed, and then putting on Ji Aizhen and Ji Beibei sisters hurriedly gave the changed fitting clothes, everyone only felt that their eyes were bright.

Chang Fengying smacked her lips, couldn't help but gently pinched Cao Fengnian's cheek, which didn't have much flesh, and said in an extremely regretful voice: "Tsk, it's a pity that there are not a few taels of meat on our body, otherwise we are so handsome, wouldn't it be comparable to the golden boy under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva?" ”

"It's handsome. When the meat is raised more, I am afraid that it will be more handsome after it comes back. ”

Ji Kuan also looked at Cao Fengnian carefully, and saw that the shadow of Cao Fengnian's father Cao Jiachang could be vaguely seen from him. He couldn't help but sigh with a little sadness: "Look at this skinny one." ”

He sighed: "Jiachang loved him the most back then, and he was reluctant to eat the meat at home when he heard that he was finally able to eat it at home, so he was only willing to smell the taste and take a few mouthfuls of soup." You can save an extra bite of meat for your son to eat. If he saw his son like this, he didn't know how distressed he would be? ”

“...... Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. ”

Chang Fengying was silent for a while and sighed, and then quickly pretended to be relaxed and said, "But what are you talking about now?" People are gone, and when you close your eyes, can you still know the things in the world? Isn't it already a hundred years old? ”

She turned her head and went straight to the kitchen with reddish eyes: "Don't talk about this, it's dark this day, and our family hasn't cooked yet." If the child is not hungry, don't go hungry again. ”
