Cheng Huazi nodded, "Well, it's good to be back. Come into the house."
The family walked into the main room.
The main room is very simple and has no furniture.
There was just an Eight Immortals table with some messy things on it.
There is a brazier burning in the middle of the main room for warmth, and there are some low stools around the brazier.
It seems that everyone was warming up here just now, waiting for them.
Cheng Jingmo took Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie to the man and the old woman and formally introduced them, "Dad, mother, this is my wife Yu Xiangnian, and this is our adopted child, Xiaojie."
Yu Xiangnian bowed to them, "Dad, Mom."
Xiaojie also bent down and bowed, "Grandpa and grandma."
The couple nodded.
Cheng Jingmo took Yu Xiangnian around and introduced each other.
But several people present didn't even recognize him.
Cheng Shuanzhu stood up and introduced, "This is my wife Li Cuihua, and these are my two children, Da Mao and Xiao Mao."
When Cheng Jingmo joined the army, Cheng Shuanshuo was not married yet, so naturally he didn't know these people.
"This is the third daughter-in-law Zhang Hongli, and this is their eldest son Anzi."
"Don't you know him yet? He is Lao Liucheng Shuanliu. He couldn't walk when you left home."
Cheng Jingmo smiled from the bottom of his heart, "I didn't expect you to grow so big."
Everyone in the family introduced it, and it was already very late.
Cheng Huazi said: "Go to bed, we have to get up early and be busy tomorrow!"
Cheng Shuanshuo pointed to a room and said, "This is yours. It's all packed up."
Cheng Jingmo lit a kerosene lamp and took Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie into the room.
There was a musty smell in the house, which contained only a bed and a cupboard.
There were old-colored bedding on the bed, and the cabinet was so old that the color could not be seen.
The two rooms next door are occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Cheng Shuansuo and Mr. and Mrs. Cheng Shuansuo.
There is no soundproofing in the house. People in the next room can hear clearly what they are saying.
Xiaojie: "Uncle, where should I sleep?"
Cheng Jingmo replied: "I'll make do with it tonight, I'll think of a solution tomorrow."
Yu Xiangnian: "..."
Three people squeeze into such a bed? !
Cheng Jingmo said to Xiang Nian again, "I can't take a shower tonight. Sorry, I'll take you to wash up."
Cheng Jingmo brought Yu Xiangnian and Xiaojie to the kitchen.
Yu Xiangnian muttered to himself that it was the first time that the washing place and the cooking place were together.
There is a washstand in the kitchen with several basins on it.
Cheng Jingmo said, "I'll buy a basin tomorrow. I'll use theirs tonight. I'll wash it before using it."
Yu Xiangnian didn't want to use anyone else's, "No, let's just wash it off."
The final method of washing is that Cheng Jingmo used a ladle to pour cold water and went to the foot of the wall.
Wet a towel and wipe your face. To wash your feet, pour water on your feet.
Yu Xiangnian: "..." This washing method is also the first time.
"Xiaojie, go to bed first after you wash up." Cheng Jingmo asked Xiaojie to go back to the room first.
Cheng Jingmo said: "Nian Nian, I'm sorry, you can only wipe it with a towel."
Yu Xiangnian understood what Cheng Jingmo was talking about.
Even if she can't take a shower, she has to wash her lower body every night, but now there's nothing to hold water in, so she can't do it at all.
Yu Xiangnian wants to go home immediately!
Back in the room, Xiaojie was already asleep after a tiring day.
Cheng Jingmo spoke in a low voice, "You lie on the bed and I'll rub your feet."
Yu Xiangnian also said in a very small voice: "Let me rub it for you instead."
Cheng Jingmo must have hurt his arms and shoulders carrying so many things on his back.
Cheng Jingmo was flattered and said, "No need."
"Be obedient, and I'll give you a squeeze on your shoulders." Yu Xiangnian said.
Cheng Jingmo sat beside the bed, and Yu Xiangnian knelt behind him, squeezing his shoulders and arms.
Every time I moved, the bed board made a creaking sound.
Yu Xiangnian chuckled, "Cheng Jingmo, I know why you were so fierce last night."
Cheng Jingmo must have known that he couldn't do anything when he got home and wanted to have a full meal.
Cheng Jingmo's ears felt hot, "I hurt you."
"I'm very happy too." Yu Xiangnian said playfully, "In this case, wouldn't all our things be in vain?"
Cheng Jingmo: "..."
She was happy inside because Yu Xiangnian said that she was also very happy.
Cheng Jingmo felt sorry for Yu Xiangnian and let her squeeze her for a while before letting her fall asleep.
The three of them were lying on the bed, with Xiaojie on the inside, Yu Xiangnian in the middle, and Cheng Jingmo on the outside.
The quilt exuded a musty smell, but the temperature was low, so Yu Xiangnian had to cover it.
There are no ready-made quilts for sale yet. Everyone’s quilts are made to order, and they can’t be made immediately.
The more Yu Xiangnian thought about it, the more desperate he became, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Cheng Jingmo knew what Yu Xiangnian was thinking. He stroked Yu Xiangnian's head guiltily and said in a low voice, "I feel sorry for you. I'll find a way to get a bedding."
Yu Xiangnian said nothing, feeling unhappy about Cheng Jingmo's parents.
Even though they knew they were coming back, they didn't get a new bed.
Nothing was prepared for them, even their own towels!
Yu Xiangnian asked in a low voice: "Cheng Jingmo, why are your brothers and sisters called Cheng Shuanmo? Why aren't you called Cheng Shuanmo?"
In the darkness, after waiting for a while, Cheng Jingmo said, "I picked it up."
His tone was calm, but Yu Xiangnian could hear a hint of sadness.
No wonder, their name is Cheng Jingmo Jianwa.
Only now did Yu Xiangnian realize that it was not a Jian baby, but a picked-up baby, a picked-up baby!
No wonder, Cheng Jingmo introduced Cheng Shuanshuo as the eldest son of the family. It turned out that he had no blood relationship with the family!
No wonder Cheng Jingmo would never abandon Xiaojie no matter what. It turned out that he had the same life experience as Xiaojie.
Yu Xiangnian said sadly: "Then why didn't you tell me before?"
Cheng Jingmo said: "I used to have low self-esteem and couldn't speak. Later, when I thought about you coming home with me, I knew everything."
Yu Xiangnian comforted him, "It's nothing. You are kind and loving just like your parents."
Cheng Jingmo kissed her forehead and said, "Go to sleep. You'll get up early tomorrow."
Yu Xiangnian scratched himself awake within two hours of falling asleep.
My legs and arms are itchy.
Cheng Jingmo turned on his flashlight and saw that more than ten red envelopes were bitten on Yu Xiangnian's legs and arms.
"It's a flea bite." Cheng Jingmo touched the red envelopes, feeling extremely distressed.
Yu Xiangnian fell asleep again, his body felt itchy, and he pursed his lips in grievance.
"Stop scratching." Cheng Jingmo got off the bed, "I'll find medicine for you."
Cheng Jingmo opened the door, walked to the next door and patted the door, "Lock it, tie it."
Cheng Shuanzhao's voice came from next door, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"Is there any cooling oil?"
"Cool oil? Yes, please wait."
In this house, you could even hear the sound of the bed next door, and after a while, the door opened.
Cheng Shuanzhu asked: "What?"
"There are fleas." Cheng Jingmo replied.
He went back to his room, closed the door, and held a small box of red stuff in his hand.
