"Sister-in-law, this tank is too heavy. If we don't move it, we'll put Zhuang Er in the tank to wash it to save effort."
Liu Cuier said "Huh", okay, this is the safest way.
He turned around and waved to the five-year-old son, then reached out to put the child into the tank.
Su Ruyi quickly stopped: "Let Zhuang Er wash his feet first."
"Why don't you wash it? The inside of the tub is clean, and the strong boy's feet are also clean."
Liu Cuier said.
Su Ruyi shook her head: "No, the water in this tank is for drinking!"
What does it mean that the water tank is clean and the strong man's feet are also clean?
I can’t imagine that picture!
She is a modern person, and she would not be able to accept drinking foot-washing water in her stomach. However, if the other person is a child, she can barely accept it.
But you still have to wash your feet before putting them in the tank.
Zhang and Liu Cuier didn't want to fight with Su Ruyi. They couldn't fight anyway, and they were afraid of getting into big trouble, so they deliberately gave in to her.
Liu Cuier handed the water ladle to Zhuang'er and said, "Go to the yard and rinse your feet clean."
Su Ruyi was afraid that the child would be lazy, so she followed him to supervise.
The little guy took off his tattered cloth shoes, revealing a pair of little feet covered in mud.
Su Ruyi was shocked. It turns out that human feet can be so dirty that the original color of the feet can no longer be seen!
She couldn't help but feel lucky that she persisted. She was afraid that she would think of these little feet every time she drank water or ate in the future.
Seeing the scary third aunt watching, the little guy became even more panicked. He took off his shoes, took a scoop of water from a bucket and poured it on his little feet. He hurriedly put on his cloth shoes and headed to where his grandma and mother were. run.
Su Ruyi grabbed his arm, which was as thin as a stick. The little guy was frightened and froze in place, not daring to move.
"No, I'm going to get you a footbath. You go and bring a small stool over. These feet must be washed well."
No wonder my feet are covered in mud. It happens every time I wash my feet. Just pour a ladle of water on them and it's done.
The poor Zhuangzi looked in the direction of the kitchen. His grandmother and mother were holding the water tank and looking inside. They were still surprised that their water tank could be so dirty.
The strong man who had no support had no choice but to move a small bench over.
After picking up the pig grass and wild vegetables, Dalang and Niuer stood watching from a distance.
What happened today really left them at a loss.
Su Ruyi found the wooden basin for washing feet at home, placed it in front of the small stool, picked up the water ladle and poured two ladles into the basin.
"Zhuangzi, wash well. You need to rub off all the dirt and nails. That water tank is for drinking. No matter what, you have to wash your feet cleanly."
Su Ruyi's tone was not harsh at all, but the ghost-like image in front of her was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Zhuang'er didn't even dare to give him a look of resistance. He sat obediently on the stool and put his little feet into the basin.
It took a long time to wash my feet, and the water in the basin was dark.
Liu Cuier urged over there: "What's going on? Just wash your feet for a long time!"
Su Ruyi said: "It's coming!"
Then he said to Xiao Zhuang'er, "Put your feet up and I'll rinse them with clean water for you."
When the clear water rushes over the feet, the strong man has to put his little feet into the tattered cloth shoes.
Su Ruyi quickly stopped her. There was a thick layer of mud inside that pair of shoes!
This layer of mud shocked her again. In modern times, the soles of shoes would become dirty even if they were discolored. She never thought that a thick layer of mud could be worn through...
However, because of the memory impact of the original owner, she accepted all this smoothly.
She bent down and picked up Zhuang'er. Lu Zhuang'er looked as if he was petrified. He was so stiff that he didn't dare to move, even his eyes were straight.
The two older brothers who were watching were also stunned.
"Da Lang, please help pour out the foot-washing water!"
Dalang was stunned for a moment when his name was called before he realized what he was doing. He hurriedly ran over, picked up the basin of sewage, and walked towards the vegetable patch in the backyard. He couldn't help but look back at the third aunt who was holding Zhuangzi in her arms.
Did he wake up from a dream?
The third aunt actually held the strong boy in her arms!
Su Ruyi carried Zhuang Er into the kitchen and carefully put it into the tank. The little guy was too thin, light and weightless at all.
Liu Cuier was also stunned for a moment. Su Ruyi actually hugged her son.
He turned around and left the kitchen to pick up the two buckets of water.
I muttered in my heart that Su Ruyi really hit her head, it was unpredictable.
Su Ruyi stood there for a moment and hugged Zhuang'er just now, which made her feel even more sorry for the Lu family's children.
"Mom, let me boil some hot water. Cold water is not good."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her sideways: "What's wrong? Can't cold water wash off the mud nails?"
"No, I'm afraid that the strong boy will catch cold."
Mrs. Zhang was confused by Su Ruyi's words and looked at her inexplicably.
Said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The river water is so cold. Children still go out to play. Why are they so afraid of the cold!"
Su Ruyi thought for a while, and it seemed like this, that is, modern people like them are particularly fragile and cannot be exposed to the sun or cold.
Forget it, do as the Romans do.
There was no need for Su Ruyi to wash the water tank. Zhang and Liu Cuier stood around, handed Zhuang'er a brush, and directed him to wash hard.
Su Ruyi didn't move forward and turned outside.
This yard was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.
Familiar because she has the memory of the original owner.
Strange because she only has those memories, but has never really lived in this yard.
Now that she was free, she went to the backyard.
There is a small vegetable patch in the backyard, which is fenced off. We have chickens at home, and if we don’t surround them, the chickens will make a mess of all these dishes.
She stood outside the vegetable field and took a look, planting beans, leeks, and green vegetables.
It's not growing well and there are still a lot of weeds in the ground.
It also looks like a lack of management.
There is a pig pen in the corner of the yard, and there is only one boar raised for the New Year. It will be slaughtered before it snows.
According to Su Ruyi's memory, it was impossible for him to keep all the pigs for himself, and at least half of them had to be sold and exchanged for silver.
The pig looks good and strong, which is all the work of the children. They feed the pig carefully, looking forward to having a bite of meat during the Chinese New Year.
Speaking of eating meat, the Lu family has not had any meat for at least a month...
The yard was only that big, so Su Ruyi walked around and returned to the front yard.
Mrs. Zhang, Liu Cuier, and several children were still crowded in the kitchen to clean up the water jar.
Su Ruyi knew that they either didn't want to see her or were afraid of her, so she wisely didn't go there.
At this moment, she wanted to see the unlucky son of the original owner. Ever since she saw him in the yard when she came out in the morning, she hadn't seen him come out of the house for most of the day.
She walked into Zhang's house. In ancient times, in order to ensure the strength of the house and to keep warm in winter, the windows were made very small, and there was only one window in each room.
Su Ruyi was not used to this low and gloomy environment. She liked spacious and bright rooms.
As soon as he walked into the back room, he saw Dan'er sitting on the kang and playing.
There is a built-in kang in the house where Zhang lives, and there is also a kang in Liu Cuier's house. These are the only two kangs in the Lu family.
When the weather is cold in winter, the whole family has to huddle on the kang, so the kang is built wide and big.
The moment she saw Dan'er, she held her breath.
What did she see?
She saw that Dan'er's small body was covered with dense veins, shining faintly.
However, the scene disappeared in the blink of an eye, making her wonder if she was dazzled.
