Chronicles of Ancient Life

Yu Jiaze was lying on his father's lap, enjoying his father's hair washing service, although the posture was not very comfortable.You can imagine how uncomfortable it is to lie on your back with your head hanging down.After living in ancient times, Yu Jiaze really understood how difficult it is to maintain a small personal hygiene, let alone in the countryside.Every day the soil comes and goes, it is not as comfortable and convenient as the modern countryside, and it is even more incomparable with the city.It took Yu Jiaze a long time to endure all these inconveniences.

Yu Jiaze hasn't washed his hair for five days. It's not unbearable for a rough man in the countryside in modern times, but who made this ancient? Who made ancient men and women, old and young, have long hair all over their heads?Yu Jiaze can barely be considered a curly boy now, his hair covers his ears and the back of his neck, tied up in half-length but not short hair, and then the hair breaks into pieces. He likes to cover his eyes and make his neck itchy.Every time at this time, Yu Jiaze misses his flat position in modern times, but it's a pity that he won't think about it in this life.

The Yu family has been busy for days, and the atmosphere is tense, so there is no need for Yu Jiaze to bother his father and father just because of his hair.It has been two days since that day, and everyone in the Yu family seems to have returned to their usual busyness and tranquility.But everyone knew in their hearts that Yu Jiaze's family of three would not stay in Shili Village for long.

Yu Wenli no longer went to the county school, he knew that Shen Bai would definitely take his family to Dingyang.Now it's just a few days of grace to let myself sort out my emotions, arrange the things at hand, and say goodbye to relatives and friends.

After Yu Wenli failed the first government examination, he worked part-time in the school to teach literacy and reading to elementary students. Although he earned little money, he could relieve some of the family's burden.Since I failed the exam, my family only paid half of the tuition fee.The remaining half is the money saved by myself and Zijun's hard copying of books, and occasionally needs the help of my brother for daily expenses.After having a child, it is even more difficult to survive. Although the food and clothing of the family will not be short, the Wang family will never give more things, and the good things are even more difficult for their family.I originally thought that after this year's exam, life would definitely get better, but who would have thought... Thinking of this, Yu Wenli rubbed his forehead. The alcohol from yesterday hadn't subsided yet, and his head really hurt badly!

Yu Jiaze had endured until today, and he really couldn't bear it anymore.I woke up early in the morning and saw that the weather was good, the sky was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and there was no wind. It was really suitable for washing myself and getting rid of the mud on my body.Taking advantage of lunch time, Yu Jiaze couldn't lighten up the skill of being coquettish and cute, so he could only brazenly torture Lin Zijun to wash his hair.It's not that Yu Jiaze doesn't want to do it himself, it's just that his current height and ability don't allow it, if Yu Jiaze is allowed to wash by himself, if his feet are unsteady, he will fall into the basin upside down, there is no shower head here, you can let You wash while standing.

Besides, adults here will not let children wash their hair by themselves.Such is the custom in the villages here, or in most places, not to wash children's hair frequently, even adults.It's not that the country people are vulgar and don't pay attention to cleanliness, but the conditions are really bad at this time. Not only is the house's thermal insulation function poor, but it is also not easy to heat in winter. The most important thing is the poor medical conditions. Or there are poor people who can't afford medical care.Therefore, most people can only pay more attention to prevention according to the customs of the predecessors.Many people think that children with wet hair are prone to headaches from the wind, and they are also prone to catch cold when the weather is cold.Here, a cold might kill a person, and Yu Jiaze's fourth uncle died because of a cold.Nowadays, people have long hair, and the usual cleaning is to use a comb to comb through the hair and smooth it out, and then use a grate to remove dirt and dandruff.

However, both Yu Wenli and his wife are literate people, they are a little more particular than the villagers, and they like to take care of themselves more.Of course, I will take good care of my children.So Yu Jiaze is much cleaner than other people's children.It's just that the family has been busy recently, and no one has the mood and time to clean up themselves and their children.

Lin Zijun also found that he was in a hurry and neglected his children after being tortured by his children.Seeing that the weather was fine and the sun was shining today, he agreed to wash Yu Jiaze's hair and take a bath together, as the weather will turn cold after a while, it will not be so convenient to take a bath.

The afternoon is when the sun is at its best and the temperature is at its highest.Lin Zijun put out the big wooden basin for washing large clothes and put it in the sun to shake.Then pour cold water, boil the hot water to adjust the temperature, peel off the white and tender son, put it in, and rub it with your hands.Yu Jiaze's heart was broken, he hated that he was powerless to resist now, so he could only hold back his embarrassment and let his father manipulate him.After finally taking a shower, I wiped off the water on my body and put on my clothes.Lin Zijun picked up Yu Jiaze again, put it on his lap and replaced it with a small basin to wash his hair.Although this position is a bit uncomfortable, when the hot water wets the scalp, Yu Jiaze still feels very comfortable. He closed his eyes and let his father rub it.

Lin Zijun soaked his son's hair with dried soap clips in water, washed his son's hair, and rubbed his son's hair with some hair cream.He ran his fingers through his hair and gently rubbed his son's scalp, Yu Jiaze couldn't help but let out a soft snort.Lin Zijun couldn't help laughing when he heard this.Such a time is really warm and beautiful.

Lin Zijun looked up at her husband who was sitting at the door, but saw that he was frowning.He couldn't help but said, "You know that you get a headache when you drink, but what are you drinking so much for? You can't bear the headache now." Although he said so, the movements of his hands accelerated a little.

Hearing Fulang's complaint, Yu Wenli couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Is there any excuse for that? I'm leaving the school, so I have to say goodbye to my teachers and friends. Who would want everyone to pour me wine together? Accidentally drank too much. How could I not know about my headache after drinking? I really can't help them to pester me."

Yu Wenli was not allowed to drink, and could only drink a few light glasses.Drink a little more, if you don't feel good right now, you will have a severe headache later.Drinking hangover tea and hangover soup doesn't work, I can only bear it for a long time, and it will be fine after a long time.He suffered more than others after getting drunk.On weekdays, Lin Zijun often told him to pay more attention to himself and not to drink too much.Yesterday I went to the county to say goodbye to the teacher and friend of the Shushu. The friend drank a few more drinks, and it became what it is now.

Lin Zijun quickly finished washing his son's hair, carefully dried it with a cotton towel, and changed another one to cover his son's head.He got up and hugged his son in one hand, walked over and pulled Yu Wenli who was still rubbing his eyebrows at the door, and dragged him into the house.Put the cleaned son on the bed, and let the husband lie on the outside, rub his temples with his hands, rub his fingers in the hair, loosen and tighten the scalp.

After Lin Zijun's massage, Yu Wenli's frowning brows relaxed, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed.Yu Wenli closed his eyes and sighed comfortably.

After a while, Yu Wenli suddenly said, "Zijun, we are leaving. I don't know what's going on in Dingyang. The cost of the prefectural city must be much higher than that of the county. After I go, can I To support you and the children. I am only a scholar, and I am worth something in the county, but I am nothing in Fucheng."

When Lin Zijun heard the words, the strength in his hands became lighter, and he replied, "It's useless to be anxious. We'll see when the time comes. No matter what, our family will not be able to survive." Lin Zijun paused. After a while, Fang continued, "Some words may not be very pleasant to my ears, do you want to listen?"

Hearing this, Yu Wenli opened his eyes, looked up, and said, "Our family has nothing to say. It doesn't matter if you don't like it. If you don't like it, you are telling the truth. You don't have to be afraid of hurting me." Save face. Tell me."

Lin Zijun stopped what he was doing and pulled Yu Wenli up.Said, "When we go to Fucheng, our family will definitely live in the Qin family. After you change your surname, you will be considered the young master of the Qin family and the heir of your uncle. If there is no accident, we will always live in the Qin family in the future. Naturally, uncle will not He will starve us, and uncle will be responsible for everything about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Don’t be short of breath, that’s the truth. You don’t have to worry about those near the Fucheng, and you don’t have to interfere with the affairs of the Qin Mansion. Of course, we can’t be bullied by the people below.

Zixi, the most important thing you should do is to study hard and see the scenery of Fucheng.Our family has to open our eyes and get rid of the rusticity on our bodies.If you have a chance, you can ask your eldest brother to find a good academy in Fucheng for you, see how talented the scholars are, and make up for your deficiencies.Within three years, increase the chance of passing the exam to ten percent.After three years, I will gain a good ranking.Fang lived up to his elder brother's expectations, and also honored the Qin family and his uncle.Talk about something else after that.Whether to continue to go further, or to do something else, when the uncle comes back, you can also ask him to help with the staff. "

"Zijun, you're right. I was stunned. I was thinking about only us in the future...I listen to you. I have to calm down and think clearly." Yu Wenli sighed.

"Zixi, you're not in a daze. I know you're worried that you won't be able to take good care of us, you're afraid that you'll be a drag on your elder brother, and you're afraid that your uncle won't like you. Leaving your familiar hometown, going to a strange place, and being with relatives you haven't seen, Everyone will be a little nervous.

I know that you are not keen on fame and fortune, and you don't want to be an official.I know your plan. You have always wanted to open an academy to teach and educate people after you have achieved fame and recognition in the eyes of the world, and continue to study.And your temperament is not suitable for an official.

Are you worried that uncle is not satisfied?It's useless to think about it now, when the time comes, you can talk to uncle directly, and uncle may not necessarily force you to become an official.Opening up and confessing to each other as loved ones is also a good start.We are juniors, so you should treat your uncle like a son. "Speaking of this, Lin Zijun also laughed.

Hearing this, Yu Wenli couldn't help laughing, and said, "Did you treat me like Xiaoye? How can I act like a baby at my age? You are right. Since we want to become a family with uncle, we should talk about it earlier. It's good. It's no good to keep it a secret, and let uncle make plans earlier.

No matter how bad it is, I will send Ono to my uncle to see if my uncle can teach someone he likes. "

After Lin Zijun heard this, he stopped laughing and looked at his son who was already in a daze.Said, "I'm afraid it won't work. At the age of three, our son is a loose person. I'm afraid his temper is not much stronger than yours? I don't know if he can teach him?"

"Hehe, if it really doesn't work, I don't force the children. If Xiaoye can't, we will have a few more. My uncle is not yet forty, and there is plenty of time. If there are more children, one of them will be able to catch my uncle's eyes." Yu Wenli suddenly With a smirk, he said.

Lin Zijun didn't blush, and sat there and said calmly, "That's not bad!" After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

What the two of them didn't know was that today's conversation became a reality, and it will become a reality in the future.
