Add the cinnamon powder and the ground plant ash in batches and a small amount to the honey.

Lin Tao whispered, "This is called toothpaste." ”

"Toothpaste?" Xiao Li Qian asked incomprehensibly, and Xiao Linglan tilted her little head to look at her cutely.

"Toothpaste, it's for brushing your teeth! We'll use it together in a moment. "To be precise, it should be used by the whole family.

These days, Lin Tao has been edified by the taste in the mouths of the family.

"Is it medicine?" Xiao Li Qian has a unique dedication to medicine.

"Sort of! Cinnamon has a good antibacterial and sterilizing effect, and the plant ash with a good cleaning function can make our teeth healthier and more inhibiting the strange taste in the mouth. ”

Xiao Li Qian nodded, Lin Tao saw that his little hands kept moving, knowing that this kid was reciting what he said again.

Over there, the potash is also ready.

Lin Tao got up and asked Li San to bring the stinky yellow wattle.

After rolling up his sleeves and adding a small amount of water, Lin Tao began to rub the stinky yellow vitex in the basin.

If you add too much water here, the condensed product will be too tender.

Keep rubbing like this until only the veins are left, and the rotten the leaves are, the better!

It's just that the smell in the process makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

"Grass and trees gray water."

Taking the bowl, Lin Tao took a cloth bag to filter the grass and wood ashes.

Then stir quickly to mix the ash water and the green and oily sap of the stinky yellow vitex well.

"Alright, put out the fire, let's wash and sleep."

"W-That's it?" Li Yi asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"Or else?" Lin Tao scratched him.

Li Eryi pulled the eldest brother to the side and covered his mouth tightly.

Li Si cooperated to block everyone's sight: "Okay, okay, my mother said to go to bed early, everyone washed and fell asleep early." I'm leaving for town in the middle of the night, huh? ”

Lin Tao nodded.

"Don't always run up and down the mountain in the future, just stay here." In the past two days, there are two elders to help cook, which is really good.

The second old man froze there, as if he hadn't reacted.

Li Si was dissatisfied: "What? Mother! Where do you let grandpa and grandma live? ”

The eldest brother and the second brother have become families, so naturally it is impossible to live in their house.

He thought about it with the back of his feet, and felt that his kang, which was not big, was going to have one more person to sleep on!

"Grandpa sleeps in your house, and Grandma lives in the hall with me first. After these two days, I will build another room in the courtyard. ”

"Really, really let us come back?" The old lady asked in disbelief with joy.

Lin Tao nodded.

The old lady threw herself into the old man's arms and began to cry.

"Okay, okay, when I come back from the town tomorrow, I'll lead the ox up and get your things back. The wooden house at the foot of the mountain is in disrepair, and when the rainy season comes, it may not be able to bear it. It's safer to come back. ”

The second elder was so choked that he couldn't speak, but nodded happily.

The crowd dispersed.

When washing, Lin Tao took out the toothpaste and divided the appropriate amount according to the head.

Everyone looked at the contents of the bowl stupidly.

Xiao Li Qian became the first to try, and the split branches and forks were put into his mouth.

"It's so sweet."

The little guy was even reluctant to vomit and ate it directly!!

Carefully brushing every part of his teeth, Xiao Li Qian showed white teeth with a yellow background.

"Wow! It's so comfortable. ”

Lin Tao didn't know if he was so comfortable, whether he said that the honey he ate was so comfortable, or that after brushing his teeth, his teeth were so comfortable.

Over there, Xiao Linglan's little fart, like Li Gan, was reluctant to vomit and ate it.

Lin Tao hurriedly said to the others: "After brushing your teeth, it's better to vomit." ”

After all, the food scraps between the teeth, swallowed into the spit, are a bit difficult to describe when you think about it.

The fourth child dipped it and put it in his mouth and asked, "Mother!" What's so sweet in this? ”

"Honey!" Xiao Li Qian said.

"Honey! Of course, you can't spit on! That's an expensive thing! What a pity to vomit! "There was a grunt, and I went down.

That stupid boy is actually like a child...... The corners of Lin Tao's eyes twitched.

Forget it, they feel free! Anyway, it doesn't matter if you eat it.

***

In the hall.

The first time she slept on a kang with an old lady, Lin Tao not only felt embarrassed, but also very twisted.

Unfolded the cover and covered the old lady, who bounced away as if she had been electrocuted.

"No, it's okay, I don't need to cover it."

"It's cold."

Without further ado, cover her body.

Not long after Lin Tao fell asleep, she heard the old lady calling her.

"Momoko, did you sleep?" The sound is small.

"Nope."

Silence suddenly returned to the room.

The old lady called out to her, and she didn't speak for a long time, so Lin Tao had to guess, what is the old lady going to do?

Are you going to kill her quietly?

Without thinking about it, the old lady's voice sounded again.

"Momoko, thank you."

"There's nothing to thank you for. Isn't it that the old house is so dilapidated that it is about to collapse! ”

When she went up the mountain today, she deliberately passed by the old house to see, and the house was indeed uninhabitable.

"No, it's not! I want to thank you for not just letting us stay back. For all these years, my mother forced you to stay in this house and guard the children. It's because my mother is too selfish, otherwise, you can't be so bitter. ”

"I'm sorry."

Lin Tao shook her head, in the face of such a serious apology of the old lady, she almost blurted out the truth.

It wasn't she who suffered, the one who had already left.

"It's okay, mother! Kid, he's not alone! I'm a mother, and I have to raise it when I give birth! If it were you, you wouldn't be able to leave the child alone, right? ”

"If you want to say that I can't live it, I have to say that I can't live with you old couple. If I hadn't forced him to go up, I wouldn't have left your second elder and no son. I'm sorry. ”

These words are in the memory of the original owner.

Lin Tao didn't know why, the original owner obviously thought so, but he never told the old couple.

So much so that over the years, the three of them have been depressed and resentful in the open and secret.

"Thank you, thank you, Peach. Thank you. The old lady's voice suddenly choked again.

Lin Tao turned around and patted the old lady's back.

"This home is ours. The days are ours. In the future, let's work together to have a good time. ”

couldn't empathize, and Lin Tao couldn't say anything comforting.

It's just that in the face of the old man who lost his son, Lin Tao still has some bad feelings in his heart.

"Hmmm! Let's have a good time. ”

***

As before, Lin Taozi got up at three moments.

The corners of the old lady's mouth beside her rose slightly, it seemed that she should have dreamed of her son.

Pull the cover cloth for the old lady, and Lin Tao stepped lightly on the bed.

In the courtyard, the Zhu family and the Xu family had already gotten up.

Because the roof at home has not been repaired, her four sons have to continue to repair the roof at home.

Before brushing his teeth, Lin Tao glanced at the big wooden basin in the stove shed, and it was done!

Xu's low voice suddenly sounded beside him: "Mother, why did it become like this?" ”
