Chapter 44: Defeat
"And mine?"
Lin Lu was surprised, she thought that there was only one gift from Tang Pozi.
She looked into the basket, and there were many green leaves.
"Hibiscus?"
Xiao Ci responded, put the hibiscus leaves in the basket in the basin, and then took out a hammer and smashed them carefully.
"What is this going to do?"
There is only one hammer at home, and Lin Lu does not fight with him, and Xiao Ci is contracted by himself for the hard work at home.
"Hibiscus leaf shampoo."
"It's also a custom of the Begging Festival?"
"Well, there's a good meaning."
The two little cubs in the house were still taking a nap and didn't wake up, Lin Lu sat next to Xiao Ci and looked at him, the sun was shining, warm, and she stretched her waist comfortably.
"Sleepy?" Xiao Ci raised his eyes to look at her: "Go in and sleep again?"
"It's okay, I'm awake." Lin Lu yawned twice, the stool in her house was guided by her, made by Xiao Ci, a simple version of the Taishi chair, with a back.
Chairs, to be exact.
Lin Lu squinted and enjoyed the sun bath, watching Xiao Ci mash it and then go to fetch water to boil, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "I remember when I first came, someone said that I didn't buy me to be my ancestor, and if you want to fetch water, you have to do it yourself." ”
At that time, Xiao Ci's condescending and prosperous energy, Lin Lu still remembers it.
In a short period of time, not only did he develop a stuffy gourd, but he also had the prototype of a small milk dog.
Xiao Ci pursed his lips and threw a look at Lin Lu, silently pouring water into the basin.
"Husband and wife are advancing and retreating together, so what if I pour you buckets of water."
He was bored for a long time and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
"Between husband and wife, what do you apologize for?" Lin Lu trotted to Xiao Ci's side and changed the topic: "No, I'll help you together, lie down again, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep again." ”
The ancients were extremely troublesome to wash their hair, not to mention the water, they had to boil the water after the beating, and they had to find the hibiscus leaves, and then they had to take care of their hair, etc., which really made people's scalp numb.
After Lin Lu washed his hair, while the sun was still strong, he continued to lie on the chair and wait for his hair to dry naturally.
The two cubs slept for nearly two and a half hours, and when they woke up, they ran to Little Stone's house to play with Little Stone.
The two children didn't want Lin Lu to work so hard and wash clothes, so they all watched others funny, and tried not to stain their clothes.
The two children waited until it was almost dinner time before they ran back and called Lin Lu.
It's time for women to thread needles and beg.
When Lin Lu arrived, the women were all holding five-colored silk threads and continuous nine-hole needles, taking advantage of the moonlight to continuously thread needles and threads.
By the time Lin Lu came back in the night, it was already quiet outside.
Xiao Ci left the door for her, and when she pushed it, Xiao Ci woke up alertly.
"Tired?"
Lin Lu nodded, collapsed directly in Xiao Ci's arms, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's better for me to steam steamed buns at home." ”
She is not good at needlework, and weaving those two things for Xiao Ci can be regarded as exhausting the knitting in this life.
Once the thread is worn, she has to go up and down once, and her arms are sore when she steamed buns and scarves and gloves, so she finally rested early in the morning and returned to the pre-liberation period in the evening.
Xiao Ci pinched Lin Lu's arm, and Lin Lu, who was suddenly in pain, gasped.
"Bear with me, it won't be sour soon."
Lin Lu naturally knew this truth, and she whispered to Xiao Ci about the situation tonight: "'Coincidentally' is the girl at the door, she should have worked a lot at home, and her hands and feet are numb." ”
"Shang Jianjing, the girl of the Shang family."
Lin Lu squinted, last time this girl liked rabbits, Xiao Ci told her.
"You care about this girl?"
Her tone was sour.
"She's only twelve." Xiao Ci was a little helpless: "...... Because my experience is somewhat similar to mine, I paid attention to it. ”
Shang Jianjing's family is a typical patriarchal, Lin Lu runs around the city every day, and he doesn't know much about his neighbors, so he took advantage of Xiao Ci to open the conversation and went on.
Shang Jianjing, like Tang Li, was born and taught to marry a high-ranking official and nobleman and how to please a man.
But the difference is that the Tang Li family only has one daughter, Tang Li, so her mother loves her in every way, but Shang Jianjing is different, she also has a younger brother, and the Shang family is very patriarchal.
Since childhood, Tang Li has been working in the fields with his father since he was three years old.
Even if other farmers let their daughters go to the field, either sowing seeds or picking, most of them are not hard work, but Shang Jianjing is different, she has been carrying a hoe for a long time, she is obviously a woman, but she is full of muscles.
Everyone knew that she was an older sister, but no one remembered that she was also a girl who was no more than twelve years old.
Lin Lu was either really angry, or teasing Xiao Ci.
After listening to Shang Jianjing's matter, Lin Lu couldn't help but sigh.
Women in this era, if they don't know how to resist, basically follow the rules in this life, and can't control their lives like marionettes.
Learn how to please a man before getting married, take care of a man after getting married, and even help a man take a concubine, and even can't be jealous.
"It's also a poor person, so if you can, you can help."
"Hmm," Xiao Ci saw that Lin Lu was also sleepy when he heard this, and stretched out his arm to let her pillow.
"Sleepy?"
Lin Lu nodded in a daze, he didn't sleep well at noon, and he was really sleepy when he participated in the event so late at night.
"I'll discuss something with you."
"Huh?"
"Let the two children move to the ear room, they go to bed early, we sleep late, and the schedule is different."
"Huh?" Lin Lu suddenly sobered up.
"Hmm." Xiao Ci hugged Lin Luchao into his arms and closed his eyes: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll just move tomorrow and sleep." ”
Lin Lu: "??? ”
Her head was half clear.
Move the child out of the house and move it to the ear room, the wolf's ambition is known to the world!
Being held in Xiao Ci's arms, listening to the man's powerful heartbeat, Lin Lu felt this peace of mind, and before he could figure out whether to refuse, he fell asleep in a deep sleep.
Hearing her steady breathing, Xiao Ci opened his eyes abruptly and let out a long breath.
He let go of his palm, sweating densely.
He had always thought that he was pure-hearted, but after touching Lin Lu, he found that he couldn't take his eyes off Lin Lu's body.
When Lin Lu returned home the next day, Xiao Ci had already moved the child's bed from the house to the ear room, and the sundries placed before the ear room were stacked back to their original positions.
It's just that it's neater than before.
When the moonlight fell, Lin Lu ushered in the second battle in his life with a worried heart.
Defeated, surrendered, fell asleep.
