Liu Cuier and her two children are huddled in the kitchen washing their faces. It is convenient to get hot and cold water here.
Li Baozhu came in with a basin and scooped out hot water. Liu Cuier was a little surprised because the meal Li Baozhu cooked this morning should have been washed long ago.
Liu Cuier: "Baozhu, who are you fetching water for?"
"I'll give Ruyi some hot water to wash her face."
"She asked you to serve it?"
"No, I'm not busy, so I just brought it to her."
Liu Cuier took the handkerchief and wiped it hard on her little son's face. The pain made the strong boy make noises, but he did not dare to resist his mother.
"Why don't you bring a basin of hot water to my mother?"
Li Baozhu's face turned red immediately, and he hesitated in a low voice: "Mom has already washed it, I will serve it next time..."
"You! Alas, I didn't really ask you to bring water to your mother." Liu Cuier threw the handkerchief into the basin and winked at her two sons, which meant they could go and they were done washing.
"Baozhu, what kind of ecstasy soup did Su Ruyi pour into you? Weren't you the most afraid of her before?"
"No……"
"It would be strange if she doesn't. Let me tell you, don't get too close to her, or you may die without knowing it!"
"Ah, sister-in-law, what do you want her to do if you wish?"
Li Baozhu was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Liu Cuier rolled her eyes in anger: "Why are you so stupid? That's what I said. It's not like you don't know who she is!"
Li Baozhu thought for a while and said stubbornly: "I think Ruyi is actually quite good..."
"What a fool! Sooner or later you will regret it!"
Liu Cuier picked up the basin, walked out of the kitchen and poured water into the courtyard dam.
Li Baozhu was stunned for a moment, then picked up the water ladle and added a ladle of hot water to the basin, and then scooped a ladle of cold water from the vat and mixed it in.
As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, Su Ruyi came up to her and took a basin from her hand.
"Second sister-in-law, thank you. I always trouble you."
"No, no trouble."
Li Baozhu couldn't help but laugh again.
Su Ruyi brought the basin to her room, washed her face with water in her hands, and wiped the water off her face with a dry handkerchief.
I touched my cheek with my hand. It was a little dry and rough.
Without skin care products, that’s all for now.
Someone shouted from outside: “It’s time to eat——”
Su Ruyi poured water and put down the basin.
Except for Lu Duotian, everyone in the Lu family gathered around the table and started eating breakfast.
"Sister-in-law, you're staying to take care of me today. Can you help me take care of the eggs?"
Su Ruyi said.
Liu Cuier raised her brows: "That's not possible. There are only a few workers in the house. Tada told him to let Niu'er stay and help, just look after Dan'er."
Mrs. Zhang snorted from her nose.
"Okay, you have made arrangements yourself."
In fact, this is not a big deal in normal times. Zhang does not have to worry about everything.
But this morning she was unhappy to hear her two daughters-in-law discussing these arrangements before she even opened her mouth.
Especially Su Ruyi, does she really want to be the master?
Liu Cuier said: "Mom, what did you say? Whatever you say will be yours!"
She has always been on her mother-in-law's side.
Mrs. Zhang was very satisfied and acted like a mother-in-law: "Do as you say. I showed off a pair of tricks today. If you can't pick up the fungi, spit out the chicken you ate yesterday!"
The old lady is still thinking about the chicken from yesterday.
I hurriedly ate my meal and hurried up the mountain without stopping for even a moment.
This was the first time Su Ruyi went to pick mushrooms. She was very interested in it and was looking forward to getting some mushroom seeds to plant in the space.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, the east turned white, and the original darkness swept away.
Su Ruyi glanced to the east. They said it was darkest before dawn. It turned out that it was not a literary figure. She had lived in the city before and had never noticed it. This time, seeing was believing.
Li Baozhu walked up to her and looked eastward. He squinted and asked, "Ruyi, what are you looking at?"
"sunrise."
"……oh."
Li Baozhu said.
What to do to watch the sunrise?
"Baozhu, hurry up, others have to collect all the good fungi!"
When Mrs. Zhang turned around, she saw her second daughter-in-law and Su Ruyi getting together, and she felt angry. Su Ruyi must not make Li Baozhu behave like her!
Li Baozhu hurriedly pulled the basket onto his arm and responded: "Hey, mother, I'll come right away -"
Just as he was about to call Su Ruyi to go with him, Su Ruyi stepped forward in one step.
"Second sister-in-law, let's hurry up, the sunrise is beautiful on the mountain!"
Li Baozhu: "?"
What are you doing watching the sunrise?
Su Ruyi seems to be really weird these days... But she has never understood Su Ruyi, maybe she has always been like this.
There were a lot of bushes and weeds on the mountain, and there was also a lot of dew. It all stained my clothes, and soon my pants were soaked through.
Su Ruyi pulled off the wet pants that stuck to her skin. It turned out that picking mushrooms was not as romantic as she imagined.
I didn’t notice the sunrise either, the trees blocked my view.
And it wasn't like there were mushrooms growing all over the mountains and plains. She looked everywhere but didn't see mushrooms growing anywhere. Looking at Li Baozhu, people had picked them a lot.
He looked down at the pocket in his hand and found nothing.
"Ruyi, at your feet!"
Li Baozhu shouted.
Under my feet?
Su Ruyi took away the pocket in her hand, looked down, and saw a bulge at her feet with something underneath.
He hurriedly squatted down and used his hands to peel off the outer shell of the bulge, and sure enough, two mushrooms were revealed.
"mushroom!"
Su Ruyi was extremely happy. This was the first mushroom she had picked in her life...two mushrooms!
Although I only discovered it after someone reminded me!
"Mushrooms? That's what your mother's family calls them. We call them Shanguzi, Shanguzi."
Li Baozhu came over with a smile and looked at Su Ruyi's happy look. She couldn't understand, isn't it just picking up fungi?
But seeing her so happy made her happy too. The Lu family hadn't had such happy smiles and laughter for a long time, and it immediately infected her. It was a rare sense of relaxation and joy.
She recalled what her sister-in-law had said to her that morning. She was a person who was very afraid of making mistakes, afraid of doing the wrong things, and afraid of saying the wrong things, so she always listened to advice.
But this time, she didn't care. It was rare for someone to stand up for her, and it was rare for someone to make her feel warm.
She just wanted to get closer to Su Ruyi.
"Ruyi, how much have you picked?"
Li Baozhu asked while looking at the pocket in Su Ruyi's hand...
"..."
I only opened it if I dared to do so, no wonder I’m so happy.
For the first time, she knew that Su Ruyi was not good at picking mushrooms, and she felt a little happy in her heart, feeling that the distance between the two had become closer again.
"Second sister-in-law, how come you can see it at a glance, but I can't see it even if I open my eyes for a long time?"
Although I was myopic in my previous life, this body is not myopic, so why can't I see it?
Li Baozhu burst into laughter. Su Ruyi really looked like an anxious and unwilling child.
