“…… Mother, it takes a lot of firewood to boil a big pot of hot water. ”

Daifuku's voice showed a little hesitation.

Ye Xia looked at him and smiled: "Just use it." ”

The firewood piled up in the courtyard has the credit of their mothers, and now they want to boil the bath water, if any of them are talking about such a trivial matter, whatever!

If you want to take a bath every day, in this mountain village in the sixties, it is unrealistic not to talk about it now, but it is absolutely certain to be gossiped in secret.

For example: poor and exquisite.

But if Ye Xia is like the original owner before his death, she only washes it carefully once at the end of the year, and usually wipes it with a wet towel, she can't do it.

"Erfu, this shouldn't be our face towel, right?"

Standing in the center of the thatched house, sweeping the surrounding furnishings with the dim light, Ye Xia finally found a side that couldn't see the original color, there were holes everywhere on it, and a little prickly "gray towel", looking at Erfu uncertainly.

"yes."

Erfu was puzzled, what's wrong with my mother?

Why don't you even know the face towel?!

Xiu's eyebrows tightened, Ye Xia pursed her lips, and always felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.

Suddenly, she slapped her forehead......

When she was ten years old, for some reason, a chicken rib space suddenly appeared in her consciousness, cough cough cough...... Well, although the space volume is less than fifty cubic meters, time stands still inside, what things look like when they are put in, and what they still look like when they are taken out, it is not a chicken rib to say, she is a little hypocritical.

Originally, she didn't take that space seriously, until she was taken by her grandmother to an orphanage in a remote area and a mountain village primary school to make donations, looking at the truckloads of various supplies that came with them, her mind instantly lit up, and she felt that using her space could save her grandmother a lot of trouble.

But her grandmother didn't agree to do that, and even repeatedly told her to use that space as a last resort, and to be rigorous, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty."

She understands this truth, so she naturally remembers what her grandmother said.

In front of Grandma's eyes, holding her hand, the corners of her mouth trembled, and she couldn't make a sound, but her eyes were earnest, looking straight at her, at that moment, she knew what Grandma was going to say, and nodded with tears - follow Grandma's footsteps and continue to donate to those lovely little angels.

On the weekend before she was reborn in this parallel time and space, she had prepared a batch of supplies and planned to go to T City in Northwest S Province during the summer vacation......

As soon as his mind moved, Ye Xia made sure that the storage space had followed, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and a faint and pleasant smile slowly spread.

"Mother, this face towel is soft and beautiful!"

"The new towels that your father brought us from the factory are naturally soft and beautiful."

Clean the dirty wooden basin, first wash Sanfu from head to toe, then change it to new bath water for Erfu to wash, and take the sky blue fluffy face towel given by his mother, Erfu Sensei is happy.

“…… Mother, I'll wash ...... myself later."

Daifuku stood beside him, and after a long while, he said something.

"You're not even seven years old, can you wash yourself?"

Picking up Erfu from the water and letting him stand on the small bench, Ye Xia helped wipe the water droplets on the little guy's body, and raised his eyebrows to look at Dafu: "Mother knows that our Dafu is shy, but in my mother's eyes, Dafu will always be a child." ”

Although she was smiling, her eyes and heart were full of distress.

The pinch-marks, the fine whip marks, the old ones and the new ones, and these are nothing more than the children's grandmothers and sisters-in-law.

Controlling the exposure of emotions, Ye Xia pretended to raise his head casually, forcing back the wetness in his eyes.

“……”

Daifuku noticed the change in his mother's mood, but he just opened his mouth, finally pursed his lips, and watched his mother pick up the wooden basin to change the bath water.

When he bathed Sanfu, he thought about helping his mother carry the wooden basin and help his mother pour out the dirty bath water, but his mother directly shook his head and refused.

He was afraid that he would be tired of his mother, so when he stepped forward, his mother's eyes widened, and he was so frightened that he had to stand back in place.

"Mother, I'll take my younger brother to the mountains tomorrow to pick up more firewood and come back, so that my grandmother won't scold us."

"We'll talk about it then."

Ye Xia smiled slightly, didn't look at Erfu, his eyes were soft, and he rubbed Dafu.

The three little ones are thin and dark, but their eyebrows and eyes are very good, and after a while, their skin will turn white, and their faces will grow a little flesh, which must be soft and cute little buns.

What I want to say is that before Ye Xia bathed the Dafu brothers, he found a fader from the space and turned the three small ones into "light bulbs" to prevent lice from "settling down".

There are children's clothes, shoes and socks in the space, as well as some cloth, but she will not take them out at will to attract attention until she is separated from this home.

Ye Xia is not afraid of trouble, but she hates to be entangled by "trouble".

Therefore, she found the three little ones that were patched but cleanly washed old clothes for them to wear: "Dafu, wait for you to take Erfu and Sanfu to the courtyard to play, and then take our dirty clothes to the stream to wash after the mother takes a bath." ”

As she spoke, she sighed lightly, and then pretended to rummage in the dilapidated kang box for a while: "Your father brought back three pairs of cloth shoes last time he went home for the New Year, and my mother will find them for you to wear." ”

The gray cloth shoes worn by Brother Sanfu's feet, not to mention that the soles are almost worn out, but the upper is patched again and again, but the thumb in front of the shoes is still exposed.

She knows that this is because the children's feet are long, but there are no two pairs of shoes, and it is strange to wear a pair of shoes day after day without leaving their feet and not puncturing.

"Wow! Mother, do these shoes really have to be for me? ”

Erfu hugged his black cloth shoes, and smiled with joy.

"Didn't my mother say it, I want to say 'I'."

Ye Xia pinched his nose lightly: "Forget it next time, see how I punish you." ”

Erfu scratched the back of his head and smiled: "Mother, I remember." ”

Ye Xia took out the old Beijing children's black cloth shoes, and she estimated the size of Brother Dafu's feet.

Mille-feuille bottom, workmanship has nothing to say, three small only wear to the feet, not big or small, just right.

"Mother, keep it and wear it for the New Year."

Daifuku sat on the edge of the kang, took off his new shoes, touched them lovingly, and handed them to his mother to help him put them away.

"Silly boy, shoes are for wearing, be good, put them on, and when they are worn out, my mother will make you new ones."

Rubbing Dafu's head, Ye Xia couldn't help but feel sad, and looked at the little brother with a smile: "With my mother here, I won't let you suffer anymore." ”

"I like my mother now!"

Erfu smiled and bent his eyes, hearing what he said, Ye Xia was stunned at first, then smiled, and nodded his forehead: "Wasn't my mother good before?!" Erfu was a rectum and shook his head: "It's not as good as it is now." My mother was bullied by my grandmother and sister-in-law before, either I secretly wiped my tears alone, or hugged us and cried, and I didn't let us tell my father about the family. ”

"Mother, I won't be in the future."

Holding Erfu tightly, a touch of firmness flashed in Ye Xia's clear eyes.
