Chapter 27: Flashlight
"The planks are clean, not bad."
Entering the toilet, Luo Cheng shone it with a flashlight, and sure enough, it was a traditional large cylinder thatched pit, with two large wooden planks on it, and he was pleased that there was no such thing as he imagined, and the wooden planks used to step on were not clean and had big feces on it.
In fact, in some remote places in later generations, there are still some places that are very backward and poor. Such latrines still exist, and the manure is not actively cleaned, someone accidentally got it on the board, and naturally no one cleaned it in time, which is really disgusting.
In a few minutes, Luo Chengcheng comfortably solved his personal problem, but this used zongzi leaves to wipe his buttocks, it was not soft, and he felt that he couldn't wipe it clean, and the leaves were almost the same, Luo Cheng felt that it was better to go back and wash them.
On the way back, Luo Cheng still handed the flashlight to Luo Bing, but in fact, he didn't need it, how could he not walk a few hundred meters away. But if you are unfamiliar with it, people with night blindness may really go in the wrong direction.
What Luo Cheng didn't know was that people in this era still have a heart of gossip hidden in their hearts. As soon as I went to the toilet, the two younger sisters went to their parents' room and said that the eldest brother had a very beautiful flashlight. After that, it will be convenient to have something to do at night, and this thing is generally even in the city, and there will be one in the family, and whoever uses it will take it.
So as soon as they came back, their parents were waiting for them at the door, and when they saw that it was Luo Bing holding a flashlight, his father Luo Wen immediately stepped forward.
"You kid, be careful, hold it steady, don't fall to the ground."
Luo Bing held it very steadily, but because of the preciousness of the flashlight, Luo's father didn't care so much, and he would say a word of advice first. If the flashlight was taken by Luo Cheng, the attitude would be different.
"Dad, don't worry, I can't hold a flashlight with such strength."
"It's all back, what are you doing with a flashlight, I don't know how to save electricity, hurry up and go to sleep, show me the flashlight."
Come on, what is not stable, as a second son with no status, I don't want you to think, I just want me to feel. The majesty of the head of the family was vividly displayed in front of Luo Bing, and the flashlight was naturally obediently handed over to his father Luo Wen.
"Dad, look at this flashlight, push it down, turn it off, push it up~~ You shine in the distance, it's on, push it up, it's far and bright, with this, you don't have to worry about not being able to see things at night."
The flashlight was given to his father, but Luo Bing also showed his father how to use this thing, which is really a treasure for people with night blindness.
Father Luo Cheng also nodded, this thing can go to the brigade tomorrow to brag and brag, there is food at home and you can't go outside to say, but this can't be eaten, it's nothing to go outside and brag about it.
"That's good, Chengzi, this flashlight has to be put away, but don't lose it."
"Dad, Mom, or put this flashlight in your room. When we want to use it, we ask you. ”
Father Luo took it in his hand, and he was about to return the flashlight to Luo Cheng, if this thing belonged to Luo Bing, he would definitely not have to say anything, and took it back to the room directly. But this is the eldest son's thing, he can't do whatever he wants, he can only tell him to put it away.
And the room where Luo Cheng lives now doesn't even have a table with drawers, and he also puts it in his bag when he holds it. If the family needs it, it is inconvenient to come and ask him for it. There is at least one dresser in the room where my parents live, which was married by my grandmother when she married my grandfather. There are a lot of drawers in the dresser, and now my mother and grandmother use it together, so you can put needles and threads, matches and some small things in it, and it is easy to find if you want to find it.
This~~ said this, how can such a precious thing be put in their room, Luo's father was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, but it was indeed convenient for the family to put them in their room, so ~~ He said a few polite words to his son Luo Cheng, saying that his grandmother was old, and it was a little inconvenient to light a kerosene lamp at night, not that they wanted to put the room, but for Luo Cheng's grandmother.
Luo Cheng didn't expect his father to have such a naïve side, so he asked his younger brothers and sisters if there would be one who believed it. In later life, my father was not a farmer, and he would not tell him many things and pressures, but the world changed, and it seemed that the way he got along with his parents felt a little bit good.
The flashlight was taken to the room by the parents and placed at the bottom of the dresser, and under normal circumstances, even if they had to go to the toilet at night, they would not take it out and use it, preferring to use a kerosene lamp. Who knows how long the battery in this flashlight will last, and if it runs out, it will cost money to buy it.
When Luo Cheng came back from the toilet, the two sisters didn't go out to wait, but they didn't sleep so early. When Luo Cheng returned to the room, he found that the flashlight was gone, and after asking, he had to know that it was handed over to his parents, and he was a little disappointed in his heart. They also want to go to the toilet themselves, even if they have to endure it until the evening, and use a flashlight to try the feeling of going to the toilet. But the things are in the hands of the parents, and it is impossible to get a flashlight when you go to the toilet.
This flashlight is not needed urgently at night, it should be difficult to reproduce the day.
The autumn night was a little cold, and Luo Cheng was still lying in bed early today. Just like yesterday, not long after chatting with my two sisters, sleepiness came.
The next day, Luo Cheng woke up early in the morning and checked the system as soon as possible, and it should be certain that the system can be checked in every day. The system prompts that you can sign in, the night in the township is too boring in this era, it is easy to fall asleep in bed, and there is no clock, it is difficult to hold on until 12 o'clock and then accurately see if the system is refreshed at that time.
"Do you want to wash up and sign in again, in some novels in later generations, it is said that if there is a sign-in system, be religious, and your luck will be better."
I wanted to sign in immediately, but suddenly I couldn't help it, Luo Cheng thought that what if the rules of system check-in had something to do with the thoughts and thoughts in my heart.
The food at home is still not enough to eat, and after relieving relatives, the family still has to drink thin food every day. There's nothing to drink thin, but grandma is older, so she has to eat some good recuperation.
Get up and wash up.
I don't know if I heard the movement, or if the two younger sisters also woke up. When Luo Cheng just got up, Luo Xiaoyu and Luo Shishi also got up.
Early in the morning, the two younger sisters were in a good mood, because the eldest brother promised to buy cotton gauze for them when he went to the city today. The two of them plan to accompany Luo Cheng to the intersection where the shuttle bus stops this morning to wait for the bus, and they will come back after Luo Cheng gets in the car.
My parents also got up early today, and my mother got up early in the morning to cook rice on the kitchen fire, cooking rice, and roasting sweet potatoes on the stove. Because Luo Cheng was going to the city, his mother planned to bring roasted sweet potatoes and rice balls to Luo Cheng, and if he was hungry, he could eat them later.
(There are a few old-fashioned flashlights used, the bottom spiral mouth can be unscrewed to remove the battery, the switch has no adjustment function, and the surface of the iron sheet is quite weighty in the hand.) However, in this era, flashlights are really expensive, high-end goods, and there is only one family after the reform. )
