Embracing the ancient times with roses

The two of them put everything back together, the sun had already set in the west, and the two of them fed all the living things in the house again. They hadn't fed them before leaving Xiu, but he studied very hard, and this is what he must learn in the future , In addition, when feeding the pigs, he did not forget to add some fodder to the yelling donkey. The donkey seemed to be happy, and it blew a lot. At the beginning, it scared him a lot.

Da Zhuang yelled when he saw it, and the donkey stopped braying obediently, which made Li Xiu very admired. It seems that it is a matter of time to manage these animals, so let's practice slowly.

The dinner was left over from the lunch of the two of them. Da Zhuang also scrambled an egg for Lixiu. Lixiu ate very happily. The eggs laid by the chickens that have not been fed with feed are delicious, and they are better than the eggs from those chicken farms now Much more delicious.

Comrade Da Zhuang saw that Li Xiu liked it, so he said: "If you like it, eat more. We will keep all our eggs for you in the future."

Li Xiu raised his head and said, "How can that be done? The eggs have to be exchanged for money. This won't work. We're all young now. When we're free, it's more important than anything else. I just think this The eggs are different from ours, so I only eat a few more bites."

Da Zhuang looked at Li Xiu's appearance, and said in his heart: "Eggs, don't they all taste the same?" 'So Comrade Da Zhuang thought that Li Xiu seldom eats eggs at home, and the conditions at home are not much better, making Li Xiu even more pitiful.

But if Lixiu knew that Da Zhuang saw him that way, he would definitely despise him. If he couldn't afford eggs, he would bring so many 'dowries'. How many eggs would he have to buy?

The two of them had dinner and it was already dark. Da Zhuang lit the oil lamp at home. Li Xiu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he saw such a small flame. He didn't like the smell of the oil lamp, it was too choking. So he went to the window sill, took out the flashlight that was charged during the day, and turned it on, and the room became much brighter.

When Da Zhuang saw it, he was surprised for a long time. This thing was really bright. Li Xiu found a rope, tied it up, and wanted to drop it on the beam of the house, but because he couldn't reach it, he had no choice but to hang it on the rope together. Now, the nails not far from the door look like the kind of hanging lamps in modern rural areas.

Seeing that he had fixed the lamp, Da Zhuang realized that this is not good. If someone came to see this thing in their house, he said: "We don't have this thing here, so use it less when you have nothing to do, so as to avoid others see."

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, but I don't like the smell of this oil lamp. It's too big. Do we have candles here? Can we light that one later?"

"Candle, what is a candle?" Da Zhuang was surprised.

"What, you don't know what a candle is? Don't you have any here?" Li Xiu was surprised.

"No, I haven't even heard of it. Is that a kind of lamp?" Da Zhuang asked.

"Well, almost, it's used for lighting. By the way, do we have paraffin here?" Li Xiu asked after thinking about it.

"Yes, I heard that it came from the Western Regions, but it's useless, most people wouldn't buy it, it's so cheap, why do you ask this?"

"Oh, it's okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep now." Li Xiu said, he'd better do some things first, and then talk about it, it's too early, and if he can't do it, he will become a braggart and braggart up.

Comrade Da Zhuang didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "The bath water is ready, go and wash."

Li Xiu nodded and got off the ground, and went straight to the east room, where the bathtub was placed. He was about to take off his clothes when he found a problem, so he called Da Zhuang and asked, "Are there any window curtains at home?"

Da Zhuang said, "Isn't the window already covered with glass to block the wind, why do we need curtains?"

Comrade Li Xiu is about to growl in anger. In this era of nima, sleeping, dressing, and bathing are not covered by curtains. Do you want to perform for everyone in public?He calmed down and said: "There is no need to block it with curtains. In case, people at home, or people passing by outside the yard, see us taking a bath in the house, changing clothes, etc., isn't it true? You people are like this. When the couple are making love at home, they are not afraid of being exposed? Anyway, no, from tomorrow, our family must listen to me. I will decorate our house. I have no hobby of performing in public. "After finishing speaking, I filled a basin with water and began to wash my face. I didn't take a bath, I just wiped it off with water after a while.

Da Zhuang opened his mouth and didn't dare to speak. Who made him think that what his brother Xiu said was right. Before, he was alone and didn't pay much attention to it, so he didn't think about anything. When his wife said this time, he hurried He nodded and agreed.

Li Xiu looked at him like that, smiled, and said to himself that I can't cure you anymore, hum, Li Xiu is a bit arrogant at this moment.

When he finished washing, when he looked up, he saw Da Zhuang looking at him, hesitating to speak, he looked and asked, "Is there anything else you want?"

"Uh, I want to ask you, do you still take a bath? How about a big bucket of water?"

"I won't wash it anymore. I'll wash it tomorrow. If you're not afraid of others watching, you can wash it yourself. I'm going back to the house." After speaking, he left without caring about Da Zhuang's expression.

Seeing that Li Xiu had left, Da Zhuang said, "Then I'll wash it, otherwise such a big bucket of water would be wasted."

Li Xiu nodded and left without looking back.

Da Zhuang went into the kitchen, took out the unused pancreas and saponin powder, and washed himself inside and out, fearing that the place on his body would fall, he probably would have been rubbed red.

When he got all the bath water, cleaned the tub and put it away, when he returned to the west room, he saw that Lixiu had already spread all the quilts, one at the top of the kang, one at the end of the kang, with a pillow in between. Seeing such a decoration, I almost didn't laugh. I really underestimated him if I wanted to stop him with just such a pillow, but he never thought about the idea of ​​doing it for the daughter-in-law who just arrived on the first day. I have to wait until the wedding night in the bridal chamber, but it's coming soon, and it's only a few days away.

Seeing him standing on the ground, Li Xiu asked, "Are you not sleepy?"

Da Zhuang hurriedly said: "Sleep, sleep now." After he finished speaking, he took off his shoes and got on the kang, and then began to take off his pants, but when he was halfway through, he suddenly remembered that there was an extra person in the family today, and he couldn't After falling asleep naked, he pulled up his pants again.

Li Xiu was not in the mood to watch people take off his pants, so he turned his head to the other side. Seeing that there was no movement, he thought that Da Zhuang had finished taking off his pants and got into bed, so he said, "I turned off the light."

Comrade Da Zhuang hurriedly said: "Oh, turn off the lights. At night, if you want to pee, just call me. There is no toilet at home. Prepare one tomorrow. It will save you going to pee outside at night. It's dark. scare you again."

Li Xiu's face turned black when he heard it, but he didn't say anything. He misses the toilet and bathroom at home very much now, but he wanted to return to his thoughts, but the conditions here are really limited, so he nodded depressedly and said: " kindness."

When Tong Dazhuang heard what Li Xiu said, he took a deep breath and said: "You just came here, and there are many things you are not used to. You have to adapt slowly, and I will adapt to you. If you have anything to say, you must say it, or I will not be used to it. This person is careless, I don’t know, do you think it’s okay?”

Li Xiu nodded and said: "Okay, I'm sorry, I lost my temper with you just now, my house used to hang window curtains, and you don't hang them here, I am a little uncomfortable, let's just buy some coarse cloth tomorrow, I am not so Picky people are just used to it, besides, who doesn’t have a little bit of their own *, just don’t want others to know, if they are so careless, won’t everything at home be seen by others? I came from a far away place, I am afraid of causing trouble to you, and you also know that the things I brought are not available here, so I am also afraid of causing trouble to you."

"Oh, I listen to you. Tomorrow we will go to the cloth shop in the town to buy. There are many brought from other places. There are all kinds. You can buy whatever you like. Can I buy some clothes for you, as well as shoes and socks?"

It would be a lie if Li Xiu wasn't moved, but he didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Just buy a few tops. I have underwear, socks, and pants. They are all new. You don't need to buy them." , I don’t have much money at home, just keep it, in case there is something urgent, don’t run out of money.”

When Comrade Da Zhuang heard it, he exclaimed warmly in his heart, this is really a virtuous daughter-in-law, and this is starting to save him money, she is really a good wife, unlike the second-hand daughter-in-law in the same village who thinks about flowers all day long Money, I don't bring any savings, and the family is almost ruined by him. . . . . .

Lixiu here doesn't know what Da Zhuang is thinking there, but he fell asleep early, and he has been tossing hard for the past few days. The gas exploded, and he reached the cliff as soon as he opened his eyes. When he finally came out of the mountain, he met Da Zhuang again. This series of events caught him by surprise, but fortunately he met Da Zhuang. A dubious old guy, then he won't vomit to death in his life.

Seeing that Li Xiu hadn't moved, Da Zhuang turned over carefully, looking at the waning moon outside, looking at the blurred back of his wife, his heart was full, he slept and ate alone for a long time , It’s okay during the day, but it’s not good at night. I’m alone, I’m so lonely, I don’t even have a person to talk to. Dreamland.

Li Xiu slept really comfortably this time. He hadn't slept so well for a long time. When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn. He turned around and saw that Da Zhuang had already woken up. On the box, he picked up his watch and saw that it was past eight o'clock, and got up in a hurry. This is already very late in the countryside, let alone ancient times. This is in a small family, if it is in a large family , is absolutely not acceptable.

After he got dressed and got up, Da Zhuang just came in and asked him to go out for breakfast. He blushed: "I'm sorry, I got up late. If you wake up tomorrow, remember to call me."

"It's okay, there's nothing to do at home these two days, you should rest more, seeing how thin you are, it makes my heart ache." Da Zhuang felt sorry for his wife.

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Thank you, I'm fine. It's better to get acquainted with this place with you as soon as possible. By the way, let's eat quickly. Aren't you going to the town? Is it far from the town?"

"It's not far, just five miles away. We'll drive the donkey cart in a while, and we'll be there soon. We'll probably be back in the afternoon."

"Oh." Lixiu nodded, hurriedly washed up, and soon sat on the table of the Eight Immortals in the main room, where Da Zhuang had already served the porridge for him to cool, and after he sat down, he bowed his head and started eating. After a few mouthfuls, he found Da Zhuang on the opposite side staring at him.

"What's wrong, is there something on my face?"

Da Zhuang blushed: "No, no, let's eat." He spurned himself in his heart, how could anyone look straight at his wife, he was ashamed.

Li Xiu didn't think much about it, so he continued to lower his head to eat, and he finished eating in a short while, a bowl of porridge and an egg, which was his habit for many years.

But Da Zhuang looked at it and said: "Why do you eat so little, should you eat more?"

Li Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm used to it. There's only so much in the morning. You can eat slowly. I'll put some water in."

Da Zhuang heard: "Release the water?"

After hearing this, Li Xiu gave him a blank look: "I'm going to pee."

Now that Da Zhuang understood, his face turned red, is there such a brother?So straightforward.

Lixiu went to the backyard to drain the water. When he came back, he deliberately looked at his vegetable garden. There was nothing in it except a little cabbage, cucumbers, and eggplants. He looked at the ground again. Zhuang had already watered the ground in the morning, and the roots of the cabbage were all wet.

After Da Zhuang cleaned up the dishes, he came out to do the dishes, and saw Li Xiu looking at the vegetable garden again. He was fetching water from the well, and while cleaning the dishes, he said: "This is how I order at home. The rest of the vegetables are in the field. When you have nothing to do tomorrow, I will take you to see our house."

"Well, I'll go in and pack it up and see what I have to bring. I'll go to town later and see if I can get some money." After finishing speaking, he went into the house to pack up.

Da Zhuang looked at his back, and said in his heart that any of your things are worth a lot of money, I hope you don't get tired of yourself just because you are rich, and just look down on yourself.

After Li Xiu finished tidying up, he went out of the house, and Da Zhuang had already put on the donkey cart, and seeing Li Xiu's clothes, his eyes widened. . . . . .
