Gu Rao took a nap, and when she woke up, the room was dark, and when she opened the window, the sun was almost west, and there were many fewer boats on the river.

Leaning against the window and enjoying the sunset for a while, he turned around and picked up the clothes that he and Besano had worn yesterday, hugged them in his arms and walked downstairs.

It just so happened that the sound of selling water came from the door at this time.

"Sell water, two pennies a load of water!"

Gu Rao opened the door.

"I'll buy a load of water."

The middle-aged man selling water stopped at the door, and after collecting the money, asked, "Shall I carry it for you, or will I let your man carry the water in?" ”

Gu Rao was reminded by this question.

This is an ancient time with many rules, only when she is alone at home, it is not appropriate to let a strange man into the house, and she knows that she will not buy a load of water outside to make it for outsiders to see.

"My man went out to buy something, and he won't come back in a while, I'll just bring it in myself, you wait at the door, I'll pour the water into the tank and return the bucket to you."

After that, I went to carry the water myself.

With all his strength, his cheeks were flushed, and he moved the bucket a little bit to the ground, and when he reached the threshold, it took a lot of strength to lift the bucket, and as soon as he entered the threshold, the bucket slammed to the ground, and the water in the bucket was also partially squandered, and the skirt and shoes were wet.

Gu Rao, "......"

This outfit was only changed today!

Beye's bucket of water is bigger than this bucket, and when he used to see him carry two buckets of water easily, he thought it didn't weigh much, but he tried it himself and realized that a bucket of water was so heavy!

I was about to continue to carry water.

A hand suddenly reached over, grasped the handle of the bucket, and said enthusiastically, "Women are not naturally suitable for manual work, so let me come." ”

When he lowered his head, his eyes vaguely glanced at Gu Rao's small cloth shoes and the maroon skirt that was attached to her ankles after being wet with water.

It is obviously an ordinary coarse linen dress, but it can't hide the natural beauty of a woman, as well as her graceful figure, and even the shoes she wears are so small.

I can shake it in one hand......

Gu Rao hesitated.

Liu Dali didn't seem to see her concerns, so he went in directly with water, glanced around the yard, and asked, "Where is the bucket?" ”

Gu Rao pointed to the kitchen.

Liu Dali made two trips back and forth in the future, poured two buckets of water into the water tank, and did not stay in the yard for long, and only said after going out, "I sell water in this house every day, the former owner of this house moved away some time ago, the door has been closed, and it was only opened today, you just moved in, right?" ”

Gu Rao frowned, she was not very used to the self-acquaintance of strangers.

Hmm, it counted as an answer, and then ordered the eviction, "Thank you for helping me carry water, it's getting dark, and I still have a lot of clothes to wash......"

Liu Dali said with interest, "I'll leave now, remember to take care of my business more in the future." ”

After the person left, Gu Rao locked the door.

Soggy shoes are uncomfortable to wear.

Anyway, there was no one else here, so I took out a pair of crystal sandals from the space and put them on, as for the wet skirt, I don't want to care about it for the time being, just do the work, and I'll do it myself later.

Walk to the eaves and pick up the wooden basin on the ground, go to the laundry table and wash it slowly, until the sky falls and it is dark, and then the clothes of the two are cleaned.

Under the eaves there is a hemp rope tied to two top beams.

Gu Rao wrung out the washed clothes, shook them off one by one and hung them on the hemp rope, and when she did all this, it was already completely dark.

One went upstairs in the dark and lit the candles in the candlesticks on the lamp table with a fire breaker.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he began to make clothes for Besano.

Her own clothes have long been ready, and she has just fitted after her upper body, and she is now handy with needlework, so she doesn't have to worry about messing up the clothes for Besano for the first time.

Even compared to the clothes made for myself, there are a little rusty and rough stitches, but the clothes made for Besano, every stitch and thread are very dense and neat.

The only downside is that it's a bit slower.

Hurry up a little bit these days, and when Besano comes back, he can put on the new clothes he made for him, and he doesn't have to continue to wear those two sets of ill-fitting clothes.

Thinking of the way he looked in the clothes she made, the corners of Gu Rao's mouth unconsciously hooked up a curvature.

When doing things seriously, time always flies quickly, and when Gu Rao felt that her eyes were sour and she had to stop, she found that it was already the middle of the night.

Gu Rao's unfinished clothes were put away.

I got up and stretched, unbuckled my belt, took off my coat, took out a wooden hanger from the space, put it next to the bed, hung my clothes on the hanger, took off my shoes and went to bed and lay down.

The cotton mattresses, quilts, and aqua blue silk quilt covers on the bed were all taken out of the space and laid out when she went to bed at noon, and it felt good to sleep.

Don't be a big man, you shouldn't think about these details of bedding.

If he really asked, he would say that he bought it when he wasn't at home.

Gu Rao rolled around twice in the comfortable quilt, but she didn't feel the slightest sleep, wondering if Beiye was already asleep at this time, and where he was sleeping.

The more I thought about it, the more frowning I became.

She hadn't thought about it before, but now that she thought about it, she began to worry about how Beno would sleep alone on the mountain.

Do you make a random fire and sleep with your clothes next to it, or are you lucky enough to find a cave and sleep on hard stones?

Gu Rao couldn't sleep more and more.

She can live quite comfortably now, almost all of them are given by Beye, in order to earn money to support her family, Beye walks alone on the mountain, but she enjoys Qingfu at home with peace of mind.

If only I had thought that Beno would have nowhere to sleep at night, at least I could use the last bit of money at home to buy him a quilt.

Although it is spring now, the weather is still warm during the day, but when it cools down at night, how can you sleep without a quilt?

Just as Gu Rao was tossing and turning, a dull sound suddenly came from the yard, like the sound of something very heavy hitting the ground.

Gu Rao's heart tightened.

She was clearly the only one in the house, and she didn't have any small animals, so even if a mouse accidentally slammed something, it shouldn't make this sound.

She didn't dare to act rashly, pretending to be asleep, listening intently to the movement outside.

After a moment of silence in the courtyard, a cautious footstep sounded, and after a while, someone came downstairs to the small building, and the bolt of the door was picked off by something.

Gu Rao, "......"

There are thieves!

Quietly getting up, picking up shoes and clothes, as well as a piggy bank under the bed, one dodged into the space and hid.

Something else can be lost, but the few dollars that are not lost!

When she was in the space, Gu Rao could sense whether there were people in the range of about twenty feet outside, and she could also hear the sounds coming from outside.

After the thief went upstairs, he secretly pried open the deadbolt of the master bedroom.

Gu Rao, "......"

Together, the locks on the door, and the deadbolts on the floors of the house are a joke, right?

So easy to be pried open!

It's not that the deadbolt is too nonsense, or the thief is a habitual thief, and practice makes perfect for this kind of thing.
