ordinary human life

It turned out that she washed it directly with cold water.

There is a pressure well in the yard, which can be used to press out the well water, but the well water is very cold. Fortunately, Taozi is not sick, which is probably the reason for the hot weather.

"Grandma said that the well water is too cold, so I press out the water at noon, let the sun shine, and then I can take a bath at night, am I smart?"

Taozi pushed the little fat chicken toy back and forth on the threshold stone, with a smug smile on his face.

As if to say, come and praise me, come and praise me...

"Peach is really smart."

He Sihai touched her little head and praised her without hesitation.

After the water was boiled, I found that there was no soap in the house. As for the toothpaste, it had already dried up and the rest of it was clumped.

I don't know how Taozi's life has been in the past few months.

So He Sihai was going to make another trip to buy some daily necessities.

Tao Zi wanted to follow, but He Sihai refused to let her stay at home with grandma.

She was also obedient, holding the little fat chicken toy, riding on the threshold stone, watching He Sihai leave without blinking.

He Sihai glanced back, seeing the reluctance and worry on her face, his heart felt a little sour.

"I'll be right back, wait for me obediently." He Sihai said loudly.

"Yeah." Taozi showed a big smile.

He Sihai bought the things in a hurry, and sure enough, Taozi was still obediently riding on the threshold stone and waiting.

When he saw him coming back, he immediately stood up and greeted him.

"dad."

"Okay, go home, my brother will help you take a bath, it will be fragrant." He Sihai reached out and picked her up.

He Sihai not only bought soap and other toiletries, but also bought a new pair of scissors. Taozi's hair is too long, not only dirty, but also hot, so cut it for her.

He Sihai found out the big wooden basin where Liu Xiaojuan used to wash clothes, cleaned it, and used it as a bathtub for Taozi.

When Tao Zi took off her clothes, He Sihai found that her body was so thin that it made people feel distressed, every rib was visible, and even the spine was slightly protruding.

And the skin is full of mosquito bites and scratch marks.

"Peach." He Sihai called softly.

"Well, what?"

Taozi sitting in the tub raised her head, her big clear eyes were full of innocence and simplicity.

"Nothing? Close your eyes, and brother will help you wash your hair first."

"Okay." Taozi closed her eyes obediently.

He Sihai blinked quickly, letting the mist in the corners of his eyes evaporate quickly.

"Taozi, brother is not at home, you have to take good care of yourself, don't want to do dangerous places by the pond, grandma can't do it, and you can't do it yourself, so go to fourth grandpa for help..."

The fourth grandfather He Sihai mentioned was his grandfather's brother.

There are five grandpas and brothers in total, ranking second, and only the fourth and fifth grandpas are still alive.

Grandpa Fifth went to the city with his son.

So only the fourth grandfather is left in the village.

Since the death of He Tao and his wife, the fourth grandfather has helped their family a lot.

Before He Sihai went to work in the city, he also greeted him and asked him to help take care of Taozi and grandma, otherwise don't worry.

Even so, they are two families after all.

Taozi's life is still very difficult.

Taozi lowered her head and remained silent.

"What's wrong? Peach."

Before Taozi could speak, He Sihai heard tears falling into the basin, making a pattering sound.

She raised her small face, tears had already soaked her cheeks.

"Dad, are you going to work again?" She asked silently, choking.

After my brother said something similar to her last time, he disappeared.

Grandma said that my brother went to work to earn money, and bought Tao Zi nice clothes and delicious snacks, which made her happier.

But she doesn't want nice clothes or delicious snacks, as long as she can see "Dad" every day, she is already very happy.

"Don't cry, brother won't leave, be good..."

He Sihai wrung out the towel and wiped her off.

The water in the bathtub is black and dirty, and it can fertilize the fields.

It's a pity that the originally white and tender peaches will not turn white no matter how much they are washed with soap.

He still clearly remembered that when he came to Taozi's house, He Tao and his wife took good care of him and gave him the best in everything.

But now, how does he take care of Tao Zi?

So he blamed himself even more.

But what if you don’t make money?Could it be that Taozi will be like this for the rest of her life?

"Dad, I won't cry anymore, don't be angry."

Seeing He Sihai in a daze, Tao Zi thought he was angry.

"My brother is not angry, my brother is thinking about something."

He Sihai picked her up and dried her.

Then she put on the clean clothes she found just now, only to realize that these clothes were already too small.

"Ugh-"

He Sihai was full of helplessness, so he could only let Taozi make it up.

After taking a shower, He Sihai found a big bowl and put it on Taozi's head.

Then along the side of the bowl, I cut her a neat mushroom head.

"Wow, our peaches are so cute."

He Sihai looked it up and down and was very satisfied.

Taozi was a little embarrassed and twitched.

But the corner of his mouth couldn't help but let out a "hee hee" laugh.

"Okay, have you gone to grandma to wake up, I'm going to cook dinner."

He Sihai looked up at the afterglow of the setting sun, and the day passed like this.

……

When He Sihai was cooking dinner, Tao Zi wanted to help with the fire, but how could He Sihai let her do it.

But Tao Zi vowed that she often cooks at home, which is amazing.

Seeing Taozi's proud expression, He Sihai remained silent, and finally rejected her on the grounds that she had already taken a bath.

But even so, she didn't want to go out.

Stay in the stuffy kitchen and cook dinner with "Dad".

He Sihai was doing laundry while she was sitting next to him playing with bubbles.

He stayed close at every step, as if he was worried that He Sihai would disappear if he turned his head.

"Grandma, this is the roast duck I bought at He Chuan's this afternoon, try it."

During dinner, He Sihai didn't call grandma to the table.

So the rice was served, the dishes were packed, brought to the door, and handed to the grandma sitting at the corner of the door.

After grandma got up, she sat here, looking at the distance down the slope, not knowing what she was thinking.

Her frail and thin body was like a candle in the wind, which would go out at any moment.

For some reason, He Sihai had a bad premonition in his heart.

But he didn't want to think about it like this, so he quickly shook his head and didn't think about it.

"It's been a long time since I ate it. I want to have a good taste." Grandma took the bowl and chopsticks with a smile.

With marinade, I ate a big bowl of rice.

He Sihai breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he can eat, there should be no major problems with his body.

Peaches also had the most sumptuous meal in months.

Chapter 8 Ledger

When He Sihai was not at home, Tao Zi slept with grandma.

Now that He Sihai is back, Tao Zi naturally clings to him.

There are so many mosquitoes in the countryside in summer. If you don’t use mosquito nets or mosquito coils at night, you will definitely not be able to sleep.

It's a pity that the mosquito net at home has already broken several holes.

No wonder Tao Zi has so many mosquito bites.

So He Sihai bought mosquito coils and lit them in both his and grandma's rooms.

At the same time, I bought a bottle of toilet water and sprayed it on the peaches.

Now, she has really become a sweet little baby.

"Grandma, wash your feet."

He Sihai brought the footwashing water to grandma's feet, squatted down, took off her shoes, and put them directly in the basin.

"Grandma, if it's hot or not, just tell me if it's hot."

Grandma likes to soak her feet, but because she is getting older and her skin is less sensitive, she has higher requirements for water temperature.

"It's not hot, but it doesn't matter if it's hot, it's comfortable." Grandma said with a smile.

"That's good. After washing your feet, grandma will go to rest. I will take Taozi to sleep at night."

"Okay, okay, Four Seas."

"Well, what happened?"

"Come to our house, thank you for your hard work."

Grandma suddenly put her hand on top of He Sihai's head squatting in front of her.

Gently groped.

The bony palms were a bit harsh, but they were extraordinarily warm.

"Grandma, why are you talking about this? Without you, I don't know what would happen now, maybe I wouldn't be able to survive." He Sihai raised his head and said.

"Good boy, if you have a chance in the future, go back and find your own biological parents, they may not be..." Grandma sighed.

"Grandma." He Sihai frowned and called out heavily.

"Okay, I won't talk anymore, you are too old, you can make up your own mind."

As grandma said, she picked up her feet from the basin, and He Sihai hurriedly wiped them for her.

Then he helped her back to her room to rest.

Taozi has been holding the little fat chicken doll and watching from the sidelines.

After He Sihai arranged for grandma, when he came out of the room, he found Taozi sitting in front of the footbath holding a small stool.

Seeing him coming out, she immediately raised her neck and said with a smile, "Father, you wash your feet too."

"Haha, Dad needs to take a bath." He Sihai reached out and touched his head, feeling very moved.
