The Li family of five was happily eating breakfast. After breakfast, Li Chunhua was about to wash the dishes when there was a knock on the door from outside.
Li Chunhua was taken aback. Just as she was about to open the door, she saw Li Taiping quickly get off the kang (a heated brick bed), put on his cotton shoes, and walk quickly to the door of the outer room.
Li Taiping slowly opened the door and saw Li Sanpang standing outside. Li Sanpang arrived at Li Chunhua's door, knocked, and hesitated to enter.
Only when Li Taiping opened the door for him did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief, and then he spoke to Li Taiping:
“Li Zhiqing, it was Xiao Wei who sent me to find you. He said he has already explained things to you and that you should let me work for you.”
Li Taiping nodded, stepped aside from the doorway, and extended his hand to invite Li Sanpang into the room. Then, he nodded to Li Sanpang and said:
"That's right. Wei Mo already told me yesterday. Why don't you come inside first? We can talk in detail once we're inside."
Li Sanpang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. He turned to Li Taiping and said:
“Li Zhiqing, I’m a few years older than you, so just call me Brother Sanpang. Let’s talk outside. After all, I’m afraid it will be bad if I go inside, and I’m worried that the old man will cause me trouble.”
He finished speaking and gave an awkward laugh before Li Taiping realized what he meant. However, Li Taiping nodded in agreement, knowing how formidable the old man was.
After thinking about this, Li Taiping slowly walked out of the room. The two of them walked together to the corner of the courtyard before Li Taiping continued slowly:
“Wei Mo has already told me that from now on you will work for me and do whatever I say. I deal in some things on the black market, which may be dangerous.”
"Let me make this clear first: you're only responsible for helping me sell the goods. Don't worry, I'll make sure you get your money's worth."
Li Sanpao nodded and said to Li Taiping with some joy.
“Okay, Li Zhiqing, I’ll do whatever you say as long as I can make money. My wife is pregnant now, and I also need to support my son and daughter-in-law.”
Li Taiping nodded, taking all the blame upon himself. Even when it came to Li Sanpang, he didn't truthfully reveal that he was helping Wei Mo with the task.
As expected of Wei Mo's perfect partner, after the two chatted for a while, Li Taiping pushed out his cart, put two bags of rice on it, and prepared to take Li Sanpang into the city.
Let's test it out first. Li Sanpang, quick to take the cart, politely declined to Li Taiping, but eventually managed to snatch it from him.
Li Sanpang happily pushed the cart, with Li Taiping following behind him. The two of them then headed to the black market to make their sales.
Wei Mo, however, was at home, somewhat troubled. The reason was quite simple: people in this era paid too little attention to hygiene.
Wei Mo hadn't dared to take out too many things before, which led to an infestation of lice. Lice aren't the fierce kings of the forest in the animal kingdom.
It's a small animal that lives in hair and clothing seams; it bites, and when it bites, it's very itchy.
After waking up, Wei Mo kept scratching his hair. Looking at his hair, which had grown quite long, he decided to cut it short first.
Then I made some shampoo and distributed these things to my family.
Wei Mo is not short of money right now. He still has more than 300,000 yuan quietly lying in his space mall. He is reluctant to spend it, afraid that he will be in a hurry if he encounters an emergency.
However, he has no problem buying things like bath products and shampoo, and he won't use his savings.
After getting up, Wei Mo immediately bought a lot of shower gel, soap, and shampoo from the trading mall in the space.
At the same time, he bought a lot of laundry detergent. After Li Xiuxiu got up, she saw Wei Mo constantly taking out some novel things from his space.
She picked up a bottle and examined it closely, but there was no text on it, only the packaging. There was no label or product information on the outside of the packaging.
For a moment, she didn't know what it was. Picking up the shower gel, Li Xiuxiu asked:
"Wei Mo, what is this? What is it used for?"
Wei Mo looked at the blue bottle that Li Xiuxiu had picked up and explained to her:
"This blue one is for showering; it makes me feel so refreshed and smells nice. This yellow bottle is for shampooing my hair; I have lice in my hair, so I have to wash it."
"This powdery stuff is for laundry. Xiuxiu, my wife, write it down and discuss with Mom later how to take these things out."
"I can't take it anymore, my hair is so itchy, I'm being bitten to death by lice, it's so painful, I'm going to wash my hair right now."
After Wei Mo finished speaking, he picked up a bottle of shampoo and walked out of the room, noticing that no one was using the washbasin.
He took the kettle from the stove, added a lot of hot water, then poured in some cold water. Feeling that the temperature was just right, he began to wash his hair with shampoo.
After washing, her hair was incredibly smooth, no longer greasy like before. Wei Mo had been silently enduring this because this kind of thing is practically unheard of in rural areas nowadays.
At most, they would use a little soap to wash their hair. No rural person had ever seen shampoo before. After washing his hair, Wei Mo quickly took the bottle back to his room.
Qian Manman was cooking by the stove and naturally saw Wei Mo's actions. She gently sniffed the air.
You should know that she is a chef and has an exceptional sensitivity to taste; there is still a faint floral fragrance in the air.
Qian Manman's eyes lit up. She remembered that Wei Mo had just washed her hair, and his hair smelled wonderful.
However, they are making breakfast now. Although Qian Manman is very curious, she is not worried because she will always get a share of any good things at home.
When Wei Mo returned to the room, Li Xiuxiu had already tidied up the bedding, and the things Wei Mo had taken out were still placed on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Just as Li Xiuxiu was about to put these things away, she saw Wei Mo walk into the room, come to her side, and put his head against her chest, saying to her,
"Xiuxiu, my wife, smell my hair, doesn't it smell good?"
Seeing how adorable Wei Mo was, Li Xiuxiu bent down slightly and pressed her face against Wei Mo's hair, which emitted a floral fragrance.
Li Xiuxiu was surprised and quickly asked.
"Wei Mo, is this fragrance the effect of the product you used before? It smells so good."
Wei Mo nodded, then spoke to Li Xiuxiu.
"Xiuxiu, wait a minute. You should wash your hair too. It smells so good, and it can also get rid of lice. These things are so annoying."
Li Xiuxiu nodded readily, took the shampoo from Wei Mo's hand, and walked happily towards the door.
She was going to try out the shampoo; she had just smelled the fragrance of Wei Mo's hair, which she really liked.
