She first took a wooden basin, filled it with hot water and cold water before carrying it out to the courtyard.
After soaking his hair wet, he rubbed it with soap and rinsed it with three basins of warm water. After was.h.i.+ng his hair clean, he wrung out the water in his hair and wiped it with a towel before wrapping it with a towel.Xiao Yiming's figure was no longer in the house outside the courtyard, and he saw that the oil lamp in his room was lit.
Luo Manman turned around and carried another bucket of cold water into the house. She poured another bucket of hot water into the bathtub, and then poured some cold water into it.
"Ai, this ancient era is so troublesome. Even taking a bath is so troublesome …" Thinking of the current her, she must have been reduced to ashes. Sigh …She took off her dirty and tattered clothes and stepped into the bath barrel.
After soaking himself in the bathtub for a while, he began to wash his body. Seeing that there was a layer of dirt scrubbed off his body, Luo Manman frowned.
He rubbed the liquid onto his body and repeatedly washed it. It was cool and refres.h.i.+ng to the point that it felt very comfortable.Just as he was putting on his clothes, he heard a knock on the door. Xiao Yiming's voice came out: "Manman, are you done was.h.i.+ng?"
He had noticed that there was no sound of flowing water, so he came to ask.
Luo Manman straightened her clothes, opened the door and asked: "What's the matter?"
Seeing that his wife's clothes were obviously bigger, Xiao Yiming said: "I'll help you pour out the water in the bath barrel. You've been tired for the whole day, go sleep.
"Oh yeah, I'll take you to the street to buy some clothes when the market starts. My mom's clothes are too big for you."
Luo Manman saw that he was busy pouring away the water in the bath barrel, so she felt awkward. This Xiao Yiming was really a good husband from the ancient times, but she didn't want to take it.
"It's fine, I'm wearing these clothes pretty well." She knew that Xiao Yiming had spent all his wealth to buy her clothes, so how could he still have the money to buy her clothes?"My wife, you should go to sleep first. I'll make more money in the next few days to buy you something good." Xiao Yiming revealed her pure white teeth and laughed brilliantly. Luo Manman did not say anything and only replied with a smile.
The night was quiet, Luo Manman lied on the kang, smelling the fragrance of the quilt, and was unable to sleep. The quilt was quite new.She was just an outsider, but the Xiao family allowed her to use everything that was good. She swore that she would quickly adapt to this environment and repay her benefactor.
The next morning.There was the chirping of birds outside the window. Luo Manman had been sleeping soundly, but this unfamiliar environment had kept her awake for the whole night. At this time, the noise in the kitchen had woken her up.
She pushed open the window to let in the light and looked down at her hands, almost forgetting where she was.
Looking at the sky outside, he could smell the faint scent of dewdrops. It should be around 6: 30 in the morning.As he got up from the bed, Luo Manman quickly put on his clothes and checked inside the house, but he did not find Xiao Yiming anywhere.
In the kitchen, Xiao Niang was cooking porridge with rice. The coa.r.s.e rice grains were being stir-fried in the wok, giving off a fragrant smell.
"Manman is up, why didn't you sleep for a while?" Xiao Niang was kind and amiable to her.
This allowed Luo Manman to relax. Luckily, this nanny in name was not too difficult to get along with.
"That... Xiao … "What about Yu Ming?" There was no helping it, this man was already familiar with it, so it was a bit like he was a baby recognizing someone.Xiao Niang, on the other hand, had pretty much cooked all of the rice in the wok, poured some water into it and started to boil the porridge. He covered his mouth and laughed: "Yuming went to the mountains to chop the trees, he should be back soon."
"Oh …" Manman nodded and was about to go to the kitchen to help when Xiao Niang said, "Manman, I'm almost done. Go check if Yi Ming is back."
"Sigh, then I'll go out and take a look." Luo Manman replied, and went out to take a look along the small path in front of the door.
Along the way, he kept looking at his surroundings. The village was quite large, so it was likely that he had come here for nothing.
It seemed that the Xiao Clan was famous for being poor.
Basically, every household had poultry, chickens and ducks, sheep and cattle, and even pigs and dogs.
Along the b.u.mpy road, one could see fertile rice fields.Xiao Yiming who was at the side carrying a big tree was walking back, and pa.s.sing by a big banyan tree in the middle of the village, there was a group of villagers who had just come back from the fields to clench their teeth and chat.
"Oh, that's true. I heard you have a wife now."
"That's right …" Xiao Yiming answered.
With his sharp eyes, he noticed that his daughter-in-law was slowly making her way down the village road. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and waved his hand excitedly, "My daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law …" I'm here. "
"Yo, how are these couple doing?" Some villagers began to joke around.At this time, Luo Manman's skinny body also drew closer and closer. When it was about time, Xiao Yiming stepped forward and grabbed Luo Manman's hand.
"This is my wife Manman." In comparison to Luo Manman's awkwardness, Xiao Yiming was extremely generous.
"It feels different to the person who married his wife." w.a.n.g Ergou snickered from the same village.
Although this woman is a little too skinny, but isn't it the same for women lying in the kang after they get married?
"YUU, This, this … Is itSanniang was a little regretful, this brat was just a little poor, and his looks were not bad.
Was there a lot of girls in this village who were secretly in love with him? Why is this fresh gra.s.s stuck on cow dung? What a waste.
"Sanniang, what you said is not right. Buying a wife is a matter for our family, and you don't understand the so-called 'seeing things through the eyes of a lover'."
"You are the only one who knows, pretend not to understand." Sanniang retorted angrily."Sanniang, don't say it. I really understand this." w.a.n.g Ergou smiled dubiously.
After circling around the two of them, he said, "Looking at the light in Yi Ming's eyes, I can tell that I really like this wife of mine."
Xiao Yiming only smiled and did not refute his. Holding Luo Manman's warm hand, her little hand was soft. Who said that his wife was ugly?
The two of them walked down the path and prepared to return.
There was a gnas.h.i.+ng of teeth in the crowd: "Yuming, you really bought a wife." With another chop of the leg, the figure disappeared again.
Seeing her shy, angry and angry look, Luo Manman reckoned that this girl liked Xiao Yiming!
Seeing that there was no one else in the vicinity, Luo Manman hurriedly shook off Xiao Yiming's hand. Forget about this man being tall and straight, his strength was quite strong, so it was not difficult for him to carry a large tree on his shoulders with one hand.
"About that, you should focus on carrying the tree.""Is my wife shy?"
"What are you going to do with such a big tree?" Luo Manman was extremely curious.
"You'll know soon enough."
In the courtyard, Xiao Yiming put down the big tree on his shoulder and patted off the dirt on his body.
Seeing that, Luo Manman immediately filled a basin with water and brought it to his front and said: "Wash your hands, Aunt is waiting for us to eat breakfast?"
"Alright." Xiao Yiming was very considerate to Luo Manman.Luo Manman could finally see the entire structure of the house clearly. The thatched roof, the yellow mudstone wall.
Although it was simple, the area was quite large. There were two rooms, a kitchen and a living room.There was a chicken coop on the side of the yard. It seemed like there were a few chickens. Inside the courtyard was a pile of firewood that had been split, as well as a bamboo pole used to dry clothes.
Xiao Niang also noticed the commotion outside and hurriedly called out, "Yi Ming, Manman, come over for breakfast."
"You're here?" As the two of them entered the kitchen, they saw three bowls of fragrant rice porridge, a bowl of pickled vegetables, and a fried egg on a mottled wooden table."Come, my wife, come quickly and eat breakfast." Xiao Yiming picked the only egg in the plate into the bowl.
"This …" With only a poached egg, he should have let Xiao Niang eat it. After all, he was an elder.
Who knew that the moment Luo Manman picked up the chopsticks, she was stopped by another pair of chopsticks. As if knowing what she was thinking, Xiao Yiming hurriedly explained: "About that, Mom said that you are too skinny and needs to be supplemented."The reply was the same simple and honest smile.
His mother had said that his daughter-in-law was too thin, and had to be nourished before she could have a big, fat child. These eggs were the eggs of a chicken that they raised themselves, so naturally they were highly nutritious.
Normally, Xiao Niang would not be willing to eat it. He would collect it all and sell it in the market.
Luo Manman took a bite of the egg. It was crispy and delicious, the brown rice porridge was also fragrant.As he looked at the two of them, tears almost flowed out of his eyes.
"Mom, your daughter-in-law is too thin. Kill a chicken another day to supplement your daughter-in-law's health." Xiao Yiming said again."Ahh, okay. You're such a pampered wife." Xiao Niang was a little hesitant.
It would be hard for her to hug her grandson as soon as possible. For someone of Xiao Yiming's age in the village, a child would already be covered in soy sauce. How could she not be anxious?After eating breakfast, the three of them had their own thoughts.
The Xiao Niang in the kitchen packed his bags, Luo Manman did not rush to do it, but rather, after Xiao Yiming finished his breakfast, he went back to the courtyard to busy himself.Luo Manman sighed, still taking the dirty clothes from the door to wash, walking on the muddy rural road towards the small stream.
Mountains encircled the area, trees were verdant, and small curving streams snaked down the rice fields.
As Luo Manman slowly walked forward, she met some villagers who were working in the underground area. All of them enthusiastically greeted him: "Is this Xiao Niang's daughter-in-law?"
"I heard it's called Manman. He's so diligent. He's here to wash clothes.""Is it better to hear that you're sick?"
"Yeah, much better. Thank you for your concern." A stream of warmth flowed through her heart as she looked at the simple and honest villagers.By the time he reached the stream, there were already a few women was.h.i.+ng their clothes. Since she did not know them, Luo Manman did not care.
He first took out the dirty clothes from the wooden basin, then put some soap in the basin and soaked the clothes in water for a while.
Then he took out a piece of clothing, rubbed it dry, and then beat it with a hammer.
