Chapter 105 Chronology (3)

When Chu Yun saw that everyone had woken up, he quickly sat down in the main room to eat. There was no white flour mixed in the corn tortillas, and the flour was not particularly fine, so it made his throat sore while eating.

The leftovers lost their texture once heated in the firewood pot. They were so soft that even an old lady without teeth could chew them.

Chu Yun still enjoyed the delicious food of beans and pancakes.

Chu Yang sat next to Chu Yun, chewing slowly.

Chu Yun was full after eating one pancake. Everything cooked in the countryside is big. The pancake was covered with crispy rice crust, and was thick and substantial.

"Are you full?"

Wang Guifang asked curiously. Normally, she, a starving ghost, would have to eat at least three pancakes before stopping. Why did she eat so little this time?

“I’m full!”

Chu Yun slowed down his eating speed after he was full, and was drinking the mung bean soup slowly. There were not many mung beans in the soup, and the mung bean skins floated on the edge of the bowl.

Chu Yun drank in circles, avoiding the mung bean skins.

"Later in the day, you and your brother will follow your dad to collect the sticks. Don't be lazy! If you don't collect them now, someone will steal them. Look how sensible Erdan is. He was in the same class as you when you were little... and now he helps his grandfather with his work every day!"

Erdan is the grandson of the old man with the donkey cart.

"Erdan didn't help his grandfather with work today. I saw it."

Wang Guifang thought Chu Yun was just trying to be lazy and talk back:

"Don't make excuses! You have to go today!"

Chu Yun didn't know what excuse to make. He was helpless. The original owner was too lazy and no longer credible in front of Wang Guifang.

"Oh, I'll go."

Wang Guifang kept her mouth shut while eating. In rural areas, there was no such thing as not talking while eating or sleeping. The only topic of conversation at the dinner table was Chu Yun:

"Hey... Look at your brother. He knows how to help with housework and study! I wish you could be half as obedient and sensible as your brother..."

Wang Guifang was devastated. Other people's children were obedient, sensible and smart, but her own child, whom she had worked so hard to give birth to, was cunning, lazy, greedy and cunning. What kind of fate was this for her?

Chu Yun left the dining table. After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth and left without clearing the table or washing the dishes, and no one said anything to him.

Chu Yun wanted to take a nap, but he was so dirty that he had to take a shower before going to bed. Oh, no, he had to go to the kang.

Chu Yun asked where the 001 bathroom was.

【No. 】

? ?

"Then how do they take a bath?"

[At night, lock the door and find a dark place to take a shower.]

Chu Yun couldn't stand it. He didn't feel safe taking a bath without a closed space. Besides, there were both men and women in the house, so he couldn't bear to take a bath like this.

What should I do then?

Chu Yun went to beg Wang Guifang to build a bathroom for her, but as expected, she was scolded.

Chu Daqiang lay down after eating, and Chu Yun walked to his side.

"Dad...can you get me a bathroom?"

"What's a bathroom?"

"It's a bathing area, enclosed by wood or something!"

"Oh, do it yourself."

After saying that, he turned over in bed and went to sleep:

"Close the door when you leave."

“…”

It was so hard to get a bathroom.

You have no say in the family.

【But the early sun exists. 】

Chu Yun understood immediately. He went into the house and opened the door.

"elder brother!"

Chu Yang continued to read after dinner in the house. He was used to his younger brother's quick-tempered temper, but this time his voice didn't seem so rough, and even when he shouted, it had a soft edge.

Chu Yang looked up and saw his brother walking to his desk. He quickly protected his book.

The last time they had a fight, Chu Yun took out his anger on his books.

"What?"

Chu Yun was stunned by Chu Yang's defensive look, but still told him the story.

Chu Yang is a cultured person and he certainly doesn't like taking a bath in the open air. He will agree to persuade Wang Guifang to build a bathroom.

Wang Guifang is the head of the family, and if she agrees, Chu Daqiang will take action.

"Brother...can you let my mom...our mom...build a bathroom."

Chu Yang looked up at Chu Yun. In his impression, he never spoke in a soft voice, and after growing up, he never called him brother, let alone begged him.

And this younger brother seemed different. He looked harmless and gentle, completely different from the rough man in my mind.

Chu Yang opened his lips and said:

"What do you want the bathroom for?"

As expected, he was educated. Chu Yun didn't need to explain what a bathroom was. When Chu Yang asked this, Chu Yun felt that there was hope.

"Of course I'm taking a bath. I don't like taking a bath in the yard..."

【Pay attention to the character setting. 】

001 gave an appropriate reminder. Yes, the original owner was a carefree and rough guy who never hesitated to take a bath.

"Oh... no... I... I heard that people in the city like to have bathrooms in their apartments... I want one too!"

"But we are not from the city, and we don't live in buildings. The village can't drain the water."

After Chu Yang finished speaking, he saw that his younger brother looked very disappointed, lowered his head and his eyes were dim, so he spoke again:

"How about something simpler? I can make one for you out of scrap metal."

How could Chu Yun say that it was bad that she didn't have to be seen naked?

"Okay! Okay! When can it be done? I want to take a shower now!"

Chuyang was a little embarrassed. Tiepi's school had one that was being sold as scrap, so Chuyang could just buy it. However, it would take time to go back and forth, and he had to go pick corn in the afternoon.

"It's not possible today, but it's possible tomorrow."

Chu Yun's sky had collapsed. How could he take a shower? His body was sticky and he could smell the dirt and mud. Chu Yun felt like he was going to stink to death.

"Go get a basin of water in the house and wipe it. I'll go outside."

After hearing Chu Yang's suggestion, Chu Yun felt that this was the only way. The soil in the house was compacted, and it would dry up in an afternoon if water dripped on it.

The wooden door was not locked. Chu Yun closed the door and used the mop head to lock it. Then he took off his clothes and wet a towel to wipe himself. The dirt on his body was almost wiped off. After finishing, Chu Yun felt sleepy.

It is very sleepy in the afternoon in summer. Almost every family takes a nap, and only energetic children are running around the streets outside.

Chu Yun poured the dirty water outside. The temperature outside was as hot as a boiler. Wang Guifang continued to clean the eels in the shed. After finishing, she couldn't sit still and fed the chickens and ducks with the wild vegetables she picked at the door.

"Mom! Go get some sleep. I'll feed you."

Chu Yun looked at the sweat on Wang Guifang's forehead and couldn't help but speak, "This is a hardworking woman."

"Go inside, it will be done in a moment. Don't come out. Remember to cool down and go collect the sticks with your dad!"

Chu Yun squinted his eyes and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky. He guessed that it would not be cool down anytime soon.

When he entered the house, Chu Yang was still reading, forgetting to eat and sleep.

There is a pillow at each end of a big kang, and the empty space in the middle is as wide as the Milky Way.

Chu Yun looked at the black pillow beside him and naturally walked over the dirty thing to the other side.

Not wanting to think about anything anymore, Chu Yun was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He fell asleep on the pillow that smelled of laundry detergent.

——

"Wake up."

Chu Yun felt that he could sleep forever, and even if he heard someone calling him, he couldn't open his eyes.

After a while, his ears were grabbed and Chu Yun suddenly opened his eyes.

Chu Yang looked at Chu Yun who was woken up and said calmly:

"Aunt Fang, I heard that pulling your ears won't make you grow tall."

Wang Guifang was superstitious and immediately let go of Chu Yun's ears: "Is it true? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"I heard about it from Blind Sun at the village entrance."

Blind Sun is the village fortune teller. He talks nonsense all day long. He has a fox spirit at home, which died last year.

Anyway, there is no evidence.

Wang Guifang believed it, but she felt itchy if she didn't do anything, so she gently patted Chu Yun's head:

"You little brat, you're pretending to be asleep again, aren't you?! It's always your brother who goes to work with you! Get up now!"

Chu Yun struggled to get up, sat on the kang, rubbed her eyes and yawned. Her eyes were wet with tears, and the sunlight shining through the windowsill looked like shimmering pool water.

Chu Yang looked away.
