On March 3, take off your jacket and change into a single shirt. The weather is gradually getting warmer, and you may still feel a little cool in the shade of the house, and it is warm under the sun, and you are sweating at the slightest activity.

Lily has to go into the ditch and climb the mountain every day to pick wild fruits, and it takes several pairs of straw sandals, and every time I sweat profusely. In addition, when cooking in the kitchen, it is easy to sweat, and the head is covered with white crumbs flying from the firewood, which makes people look unpleasant.

Lily can endure everything, but she can't bear to be unhygienic. When she first walked through, her body was just a little better, and she tried to clean herself. Now she has to boil a pot of hot water every day after dinner, and after cleaning up the house, when the water is just hot, she washes her hair and wipes her body with a wooden basin and a hand towel.

In the end, it is not as clean and comfortable as showers and baths, and the water is easy to be cold, and it is extremely troublesome to change the water again and again, so Lily thought about buying a bath tub.

Liu Sanping, a carpenter in the town, is one of Liu Yi's brothers, and this time he followed Liu Yi out to earn a living, and someone wanted to buy tables, chairs and benches, so he just went to his house to see the finished product, and bought what he liked. If you want to erect sorghum, make longevity materials or make customized furniture, you can only wait for him to come back, or find his father. Father Liu's skills were passed on to Liu Sanping, and the skills of father and son were similar, but Liu Sanping was young and more skillful. At this time, the people invited carpenters to come to the house to do the work, and they all provided food by the day, and finally gave food and money according to the number of days. Daddy Liu is old, and he will work slowly, not much

Few people are willing to invite him, unless it is urgent, most of them still wait for Liu Sanping to come back.

Lily took the time to go to Liu Sanping's house and asked, there is no ready-made bath bucket, so you have to make it from scratch. Daddy Liu showed her his own bath bucket again, a large wooden barrel half a person high, very strong, and not leaking at all.

Daddy Liu told her: "This thing is not commonly used, even if it is troublesome, it is okay." ”

It is very difficult to move such a large wooden barrel, and then it has to be filled with water, not to mention the lily, even a man in the prime of life cannot move it, so he has to scoop out more than half of the washed water before moving it away and throwing it away.

Most people only wash once in seven or eight days or ten days, and it's okay to have a long time, but Lily has to take a bath every day, how can you stand this trouble?

She asked which of the wood was the lightest, and the answer she got was that the bath bucket didn't use too good wood, the weight was about the same, and the wood was heavier after absorbing water, and everything was troublesome.

Lily was unhappy, so she had to hold back her thoughts about buying a bathtub first, and told Daddy Liu that she would go back and think about it and make a decision to come again.

Once you have the idea of buying a bathtub and scrub it with a small wooden basin, it will be very unhappy. Lily changed the water back and forth several times, longing more and more for a bath bucket that could soak the whole person in.

After thinking about it for two days, he finally came up with a way, it happened that Qingsong was sent a basket to Lily by his father, and he was caught by his sister and asked him to go to Daddy Liu's house to describe Daddy Liu like this.

Father Liu listened to Qingsong's words and frowned: "I'll try to trouble me like this, and I'll talk about it later." ”

They do carpenter's work, except for some fixed French styles that cannot be changed, most of the time it is the customer who says what they do, as long as the customer can afford to pay and spend the material, they have no opinion.

Qingsong came back to report the good news to Lily, and Lily was happy and gave him two dollars to go to the market by himself. Qingsong threw the copper coin to play, and suddenly asked Lily: "Sister, do you still know the words I taught you to recognize?"

"Huh?" Lily thought for a long time before picking out a vague shadow from the corner of her memory. She thought that Li Daniu couldn't read a single big character, but she didn't expect Qingsong to teach him to read.

However, Qingsong has never gone to school, where did he learn to read?

Qing Song looked at his eldest sister's stunned appearance, and knew that she had forgotten those words again, and stretched out his hand in front of her eyes to let her see the four words cast on the copper coin: "How many do you recognize?"

"Tian" Lily doesn't know how literate the girl is, if Qingsong hasn't taught her, wouldn't she be scared to death if she reads it? She doesn't want to be treated as a demon and a monster. So I picked only the simplest word to read.

Anyway, the eldest sister still remembered a word, Qingsong felt a little comforted, and pointed to her one by one, "Heaven, Apocalypse, Tong, Bao! Don't forget it!"

Apocalypse?

This year name sounds a little familiar, Lily nodded, she is a small people, and it is not her turn to take care of national affairs, just do her duty, and no longer think about it.

Qingsong put away the money and jumped up and down to the private school to listen to the class secretly, he has always been smart, he can steal a few words outside the window every time, and there are a lot of them over time, so he can teach his eldest sister.

Lily faintly remembered that the eldest girl Yang Qingsong taught her to read, mostly for the sake of that little showman, and suddenly felt tired in her heart. She is far more literate than Qingsong, but she doesn't dare to show it at this time, which makes people feel surprised, or it is serious to do a good job in selling flowers and fruits.

After more than ten days, Daddy Liu, the carpenter, asked someone to bring a message to Lily and told her to go and get the bath bucket. Lily is a young woman, who is easy to gossip about when she walks through the market with a bath bucket, but now she has enough gossip on her, and she doesn't want to have more rights and wrongs, so she still asks Li Mingjiang and Qingsong to help her get it back.

The tub is placed in the kitchen, so it is easy to boil and pour water. Li Mingjiang filled the smoke pot with a pot of orchid tobacco leaves that the eldest daughter respected, swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, and the green pine circled around the bath barrel twice, "Sister, what is this?"

The tub is close to the bottom, and there is a round stopper, I don't know what it is for. The whole barrel was polished smoothly, without a single puncture burr, and Lily was thinking that Daddy Liu was real, and he didn't cut corners at all. Listening to Qingsong's question, he pulled out the plug and stuffed it back, tried it a few times, and felt that it was quite tight, and then said to Qingsong with a smile: "You think, where am I with such a big bucket of water."

Can you move?"

Qing Song nodded: "That's it, your strength is not as strong as mine, and you can be half tired to death just by pouring water." ”

"With this stopper, wouldn't it be convenient for me to just take a shower and take a shower and let the water flow into the basin and pour it out one by one?"

Qing Song suddenly realized, and nodded vigorously: "Our family should also make a family like this!"

Li Mingjiang patted Qingsong's head: "If you don't wash it every day, you will pour water twice for Sanniu, what is the bitterness?"

He turned back to teach Lily again, "If your son-in-law is not at home, you should also do your duty, do you want to boil water and take a bath twice in three days?"

They are countrymen, simple and rustic is their duty, if they clean up all day long, they are clean and oily, and live like those immodest women in the city, what is it like?

Lily knew that her father was a good person, and although she said so, he had no ill intentions. It is very difficult for a person to change his cognition when he is old, and it doesn't make sense to him, so Lily doesn't say much, but says, "Dad, I know." But the barrels are all ready, and they can't be returned. ”

The money has long been asked to bring Qingsong to Daddy Liu, and when he took the bathtub today, he paid off the final payment, and if he wanted to return it, Daddy Liu would not agree.

Li Mingjiang took a sip of cigarettes, "If you buy everything, you can use it." Don't waste too much firewood, I see that your firewood is used faster than other families, if your son-in-law can't come back for a while, what can you do?"

Other people's household firewood is saved, lily to cook to boil water, never sparing firewood, the hill-like firewood behind the house has gone down more than half.

Fortunately, the weather is getting hotter, and there is no need to regenerate the brazier at night, and more than half of the firewood can be saved. If it was in the previous life, Lily would definitely be worried about the environmental pollution caused by burning firewood, but in these years, there are no large-scale polluting industries, and the natural self-purification ability is very strong, and every household burning firewood will not cause major problems, and the hills around Aoyagi Town have not been bald, and they are still lush

Yes, she has no psychological burden when she uses firewood.

Li Mingjiang and Qingsong went home in the afternoon, and Lily packed them with a few eggs to bring with them, and gave them a rabbit that Kuroko had recently bitten. The daughter who marries is someone else's family, and she always makes her mother's family subsidize it, and she has contacts to cultivate her feelings. In the future, when Li Mingjiang is old, it will be Qingsong and his daughter-in-law who will be in charge, and sending things to his daughter is not the same thing as sending things to his sister, and Lily can't rely on herself to be the Li family's boudoir

The women always asked them for things empty-handed.

As soon as Dad and Brother left, Lily happily hummed a little tune to scrub the barrel. The barrel was stained with dust and sanded wood chips, and the lily rubbed it several times, and the water was yellow at first, and then clearer and clearer, until there was no impurity at the last moment.

Pour two buckets of cold water into it, so that the wood can fully absorb the water, and also to see if there will be water leakage, so as to avoid trouble when you need to use it.

After dinner, while the sky was still bright, Lily boiled a large pot of water, poured most of the pot into a wooden barrel first, and mixed it with the freshly beaten well water until it was slightly hot, and white steam was bubbling out.

Lily also found the ** used to make dried flower sachets, peach blossoms sprinkled into the water, and after a while, the shrunken petals stretched and floated in the water, and the faint fragrance diffused.

Leaving Kuroko in the yard to watch the house, Yuri bolted the kitchen door from the inside and quickly slipped into the tub. The slightly hot water enveloped her body, and she couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

After soaking for a while, she washed her hair and face with water in her hands, and the pores of her whole body were soaked, and even her bones were crispy.

Lily looked at her body as she washed, she had just crossed the time, and she was frightened by her starving ghost-like face, and she still didn't dare to look at her own shadow in the water.

At that time, his body was also skinny, and when he touched it, he had no meat at all, his ribs were straight to his hands, and his legs were as thin as reeds.

Later, Song Haonian killed chickens, rabbits and pheasants for her to eat, and she tried her best to get food, so that she could raise some meat, and her ribs no longer floated from the skin like reliefs, and she went to Xiaodonggou every day, and she had more muscles in her legs.

She looked down at her chest and thought to herself, even this place is no longer so flat, evolving from a disc to a xiaolongbao. It cost her an unknown amount of money, and how much rabbit meat it would take to grow so big.

If the water is a little cold, add the little hot water left in the pot and soak it for at least a quarter of an hour. After coming to this world for a few months, this was the first time that Lily took a comfortable bath, and she was a little reluctant to feel this way, and soaked until the water was completely cool, and the skin on her body was white and wrinkled, and then she was reluctant to get up, dry her body with a burlap hand towel, and change into clean clothes.
