The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

It will be dark after the family has eaten.

It was a March day, and it was still a bit cold at night. A little hot water was boiled in the pot. Mother Li scooped up two or three spoonfuls of hot water from a plate, mixed it with cold water, and brought it back to the house to bathe her son.Li Wen saw that his mother was bringing him bath water, and hurried over to ask for help, her voice was still a little milky, "Mom, let me help you."

"Sambo doesn't need your help. If you can't move with that little strength, you should let go and let mother come." Li's mother couldn't laugh or cry when she saw her son's small arms and legs. go.

"Aniang, haven't you heard that one more person can help? You let me practice more and then I will come out." Li Wen insisted on coming to help, but in fact he knew that it was true that he was working with his little arms and legs. It can't help much, but if you let him sit there and play, he can't sit still and watch his mother work.

"Let me do it, both of you let go." Li Shanshan, who was outside, saw that the woman was carrying a basin, strode over to pull it, and took it.

The mother and son subconsciously let go of their hands, and Li Wen saw his father striding into the house carrying a basin, and he and his mother followed behind.

The light in the room is a bit dim, and no matter how far down the room, it will be completely invisible.

Farmers are frugal, and they are reluctant to light lamps at night. They just want to save on lamp oil. Lamp oil also requires money to buy.

The mother and son were confronting each other in the room. His mother wanted to help him take a bath, but Li Wen balked and refused to take off his clothes.Although this is his mother, she is also a woman!After being able to take a bath by himself when he was two years old, Li Wen never asked his mother to bathe him again. He insisted on doing everything he could do by himself. I am sorry to ask his mother to help. He is also thin-skinned and shy of!

I don't know why his mother is so full of love today, do I have to relive the fun of bathing my son?

No!Li Wen was crying in his heart.

"Auntie, I can wash by myself, really, let me do it myself, you don't have to worry about me." Li Wen blinked at his Aunt with his big eyes full of sincerity, and looked down at the basin. He said, "Mother, if you don't come out, it will be dark, and the bath water will be cold."

"Okay, this kid, why won't Auntie help you take a bath? All right, then you can wash it yourself, wash your butt, and it will be clean." Seeing that his son really doesn't want her like this Mother Li had no choice but to give up, and went out with a little disappointment on her face.

Seeing that his mother had finally given up, Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and ran out to close the door.

There are so many women in the family, mainly his aunt, and the fourth younger sister. The little girl loves to come to his brother whenever she has something to do. There are two older sisters and aunts, right? From time to time to care about him, Li Wen is also a little distressed these days, and he can't feel at ease even after taking a bath.

He was the only one in the room at this moment, so Li Wen quickly took off his clothes, wrung out a towel and washed his face before sitting in the basin to take a bath.This basin was made for him by his own father when he was just born. He used it for bathing and washed it to such a large size that he would not be able to sit on it until next year.

Three times left and three times right, rub up and rub down...

Li Wen hummed a little song in his heart, rubbed his body clean in two or three times, and quickly ran up to put on the clothes on the bed and put them on. In the spring of March, it is easy to catch a cold if you accidentally catch a cold, so at this moment Be especially careful not to let yourself catch a cold.

Once he got sick, he would have to drink bitter Chinese medicine, and the taste would be unforgettable for a lifetime. He never wanted to drink bitter Chinese medicine in his life.

"Father, I'm done taking a shower." Li Wen took a shower and put on his clothes. As soon as he opened the door and stretched his head out, he saw Father sitting on the small stool by the door, weaving the unfinished basket. Dad yelled.

"Well, are you dressed yet?"

"Get dressed."

Li Shanshan put down what he was doing, went in and brought out his son's bath water, splashed it on the ground outside, and asked his son to go back to the house and go to sleep on the bed.Li Wen let out an oh, and obediently went back into the house, crawled to his own small bed and lay down.

At this moment, Li's mother went out to clean up the things in the yard outside. The aunt had a baby, so she couldn't do much work these days, and the two girls would help out when they got older.

It was getting dark now, and the chickens in the family had all returned to their nests, so she closed the door of the chicken coop.

There are several old hens that lay eggs in the family, and the eggs that are usually laid are not willing to be eaten by the family.On the contrary, her mother-in-law loves her little grandson very much, and will occasionally order her to cook one to nourish her son.Mothers love their children dearly. If the mother-in-law orders, she will make an egg for her son to eat according to the mother-in-law's wishes. The rest is saved and brought to the town to sell a few money to subsidize the family.

"Wow wow..."

Hearing the cry of the child in the aunt's room, the woman touched her stomach, covered her mouth and coughed softly.

That year, she gave birth to a son with dystocia, and both mother and son almost died. Fortunately, both mother and son were blessed, and the child was born smoothly, and she survived.But because of this, the root of the disease has fallen into the body. Her health has not been very good these years, and she has been taking medicine intermittently. When I asked the doctor about the child, the doctor also said that it is difficult for her to conceive.

So up to now, their husband and wife have only one son, but luckily they gave birth to a son, leaving a queen for the Li family, otherwise she would pack up her things and leave without her husband driving her away.If she wants her belly to be better, it would be better to give birth to a boy or a little girl, the woman sighed in her heart, and made a low cough, which sounded very clear in this quiet night.

"Have you packed everything? Are you still not feeling well? Why do you keep coughing? I'll go to Auntie tomorrow to ask for a few pennies, and I'll go to the doctor to get you two medicines. It's cold outside at night, so you go back to the house." Come in." The man sitting there heard the coughing sound of his daughter-in-law, finally couldn't stand still, put the basket away, walked towards her, and said.

Her husband's voice came from behind her, and Mother Li sighed, turned her head, looked at her husband and said, "Okay, just close the door of the chicken coop and that's it. I'll go back to the house now. There's no need to grab medicine, it's all Old problems, small things, just wait for a few days to get warmer."

Her body is an old problem, and every year from March to spring, she is prone to coughing, no matter how much medicine she takes, it is useless, why waste that money.Sun Yi knew that her family had spent a lot of money hiring a doctor to buy medicines for her over the years, and the family's money was kept by her mother, so she must have something against her if she asked her for money.

The three treasures of their family are growing up day by day, and Sun Yi has other plans in her heart. She doesn't want her husband to waste the money on her anymore, and saving some money will have other uses in the future.The woman talked all kinds of things, which made her husband give up the idea of ​​fetching medicine for her. She thought about her son who was taking a bath in the house, and asked, "Have you finished taking the three treasures bath?"

"It's finished." Li Shanshan said.

"That's good. This kid, no matter how young he is, he has to do everything by himself, and I don't want my mother to help him." Thinking of their family's Sanbao, Li's mother's face was filled with a happy smile.With such a good son, God has treated her well.

The man behind the woman was silent, but they all listened to the wife's words.
