Chapter 27: Applying medicine, red butt
This little guy is really sensible, Chu Yue’s care and concern for him along the way are worth it.
"You are a child and still growing. Eating more meat will help you grow faster and gain more strength. When you have strength, you can help me do more work. Come eat quickly."
Chu Yue pushed the aluminum lunch box back and urged Lu Yuanbao to eat quickly.
Having said that, he brought up something that embarrassed Lu Yuanbao.
Lu Yuanbao spent the entire afternoon pulling weeds in the yard. Although the weeds were long and thin, with their winter-stained, yellow leaves that looked easily broken, the yard had actually been abandoned for a long time. The weeds were tangled and intertwined, their roots tightly entwined in the soil.
The soil becomes hard like stone in winter.
Lu Yuanbao knew that to pull out the weeds, one must remove them at the root, so he grabbed the roots of the weeds and exerted all his strength, trying to pull them out completely.
When his hands weren't strong enough, he used his feet and put in all his effort.
However, Lu Yuanbao's strength was too weak to pull out the roots of the weeds under the ground. Instead, because he used too much force, the weeds broke and fell heavily to the ground.
The two buttocks almost turned into four buttocks.
Lu Yuanbao is very resilient and can endure hardships. After falling, he did not cry, make a fuss or shout in pain. He patted his butt, stood up, and continued to pull weeds with great effort.
It was a pity that the new clothes Chu Yue gave him were covered in dust.
When Chu Yue went out to take a look, Lu Yuanbao had become dusty and dirty, his face flushed red in the cold wind, and he looked like a pitiful little thing again. However, there was still a large patch of weeds left in the yard, and he was still struggling with his head down.
Finally, Chu Yue couldn't bear it anymore, so she walked over and pulled out the weeds that Lu Yuanbao had spent a lot of effort on with one hand, and grabbed Lu Yuanbao's collar with the other hand, dragged him into the house, threw him behind the stove, and let him sit and warm himself by the fire.
Chu Yue asked Lu Yuanbao to pull weeds to help him digest his food after a meal, not to really work him.
At that time, Lu Yuanbao watched Chu Yue easily pull out the weeds that he had tried so hard to pull out, and his dark eyes widened.
So now when he heard Chu Yue say "eating meat can increase strength", Lu Yuanbao naturally thought of this, and his little face was full of embarrassment.
He gritted his teeth, picked up the aluminum lunch box, and ate in big mouthfuls.
As long as he grows up, he will be able to take care of others, such as Chu Yue.
After finishing his meal, Lu Yuanbao took his lunch box into the kitchen, filled a basin with water, squatted on the floor and began to wash the lunch box and chopsticks.
Chu Yue did not stop him. After spending a few days together, she had already figured out the boy's character. He was a hardworking and tenacious person. If you don't let him work, he will feel even more uncomfortable.
She changed the cold water that Lu Yuanbao used to wash dishes to hot water, and also took out some baking soda from her personal space and put it in the water as detergent.
After washing the dishes, Chu Yue threw Lu Yuanbao into the bathroom.
"Take off your clothes and take a bath."
Lu Yuanbao blinked, looked up at Chu Yue and said, "I washed it a few days ago."
The so-called few days ago was the first day Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao met, when they took a bath at Jiang's house.
"Don't be reluctant to use the hot water. You can fill it up for me later... Take a bath every two days, you hear me? Take a bath every two days. Taking a bath more often keeps you clean, and if you're clean you won't get sick, and if you don't get sick you'll have strength."
Chu Yue talked around the subject and finally came back to the topic of strength.
Lu Yuanbao pursed his lips, looking stubborn and refusing to admit defeat, then obediently began to take off his clothes.
Chu Yue prepared a basin, towel, soap, and hot water. She closed the bathroom door and let Lu Yuanbao wash himself. She turned and went into the room and began to make the bed and tidy up the sheets.
It didn't stop throughout the day.
Because there was only one set of sheets and quilt, Lu Yuanbao still slept with her tonight.
After Lu Yuanbao washed, dried himself and climbed onto the bed, Chu Yue took out the ointment she had used before and smeared it all over Lu Yuanbao's cracked hands, bruised body, and red buttocks.
The last time he applied the medicine, Lu Yuanbao fell asleep and knew nothing.
This time, he had to take off his pants in front of Chu Yue, exposing his private parts. Even a little boy of five or six years old would feel shy.
He tried hard not to make a sound, his face flushed with sullenness.
"Okay." After applying the ointment, Chu Yue patted Lu Yuanbao's butt. He was so thin that there was not much meat on his butt.
She is nothing like Lu Zhanlin, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with nice legs, a nice waist, and a perky butt.
The thought of her looking at a man's butt is quite risqué.
On the side, Lu Yuanbao heard it and immediately pulled up his pants to cover his buttocks, then crawled into the quilt and wrapped himself up like a crayfish.
His face was red, his body was warm, and his breath was full of the smell of ointment.
The ointment can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and has a cool smell, just like the mint leaves Chu Yue stuffed into his mouth when he was carsick in the morning. It smells very pleasant.
Chu Yue checked the doors and windows, turned off the dim lights in the room, and went to bed in the dark.
There was no nightlife in the 1970s, and in the military area halfway up the mountain, the only thing left to do once dark was sleep.
Fortunately, Chu Yue still had a portable space. She used her consciousness to call the space system, and with the colorful white light, she entered the space in an instant. It was comfortable and cozy. Not only could she farm and stock up, but she could also take out a novel and slowly pass the time.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Chu Yue yawned lazily. She finally felt sleepy and planned to sleep directly in the Lingbao space.
But vaguely, she heard some sounds.
Generally speaking, the Lingbao space and the real world are two completely different worlds. Except for the circulation of objects, other things are not interoperable between the two, and sounds are also isolated.
However, Chu Yue recently discovered that as long as the source of the sound is close enough to her, a subtle sound will still be transmitted into the spiritual treasure space.
Chu Yue closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her consciousness had returned to her body. The room was pitch black and seemingly silent, but the slight rustling sound came from... Lu Yuanbao, who was beside Chu Yue.
Lu Yuanbao's small figure wrapped in a quilt, round and plump in the darkness, was slowly turning over.
Move to the left for a while, pause for a moment, and then move to the right.
What a sleepless night! At such a young age, I don’t know where all the worries come from.
Lu Yuanbao couldn't help turning over and over again because he thought Chu Yue was asleep after observing her for a while.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
In the dim light, Chu Yue suddenly spoke, startling Lu Yuanbao and causing him to shake his shoulders under the quilt.
He immediately froze, as if this way he could pretend to be asleep and not be discovered by Chu Yue.
Seeing this, Chu Yue simply reached out and turned Lu Yuanbao, who was facing away from her, under the quilt. She exposed him, "Stop pretending. I know you're not asleep. If you're not asleep, talk to me and chat. Why don't you sleep? What are you thinking about? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
As she spoke, Chu Yue felt somewhat worried, especially when she recalled Lu Yuanbao's vomiting in the middle of the night and his pale face.
Lu Yuanbao ate a lot today, including some meat. Generally, a body that has been poor for too long would not be able to tolerate eating meat all of a sudden.
Chu Yue lifted up Lu Yuanbao's clothes and touched his belly.
The belly is round, even though I eat a lot, but it is soft and does not seem to be suffering from indigestion.
Lu Yuanbao knew that Chu Yue was very capable. She could tell where he was uncomfortable and how to cure him, so he let Chu Yue do what she wanted.
After touching it a few times, Chu Yue withdrew her hand and muttered to herself, "This doesn't look uncomfortable?"
“Will we live here forever?”
Lu Yuanbao's voice sounded at the same time, overlapping with Chu Yue's soft whisper.
Chu Yue understood as soon as she heard it. This was Lu Yuanbao's anxiety.
From one strange place to another strange place, across a distance of thousands of miles, without a single person I know around me.
For such a young child, it is good enough that he is not afraid. How can he not be anxious?
"Yes, we will live here for a long time because this is our home. It may be two or three years, or it may be more than ten years. We will not leave here until your father's next job transfer, but that will be a long, long time from now."
Lu Yuanbao listened quietly to Chu Yue's words, his little fingers tickling the cotton in the quilt, one by one.
He was silent for a while, then raised his eyes again. His bright dark eyes pierced through the darkness as he looked at Chu Yue, asking this little face a serious question.
"Will you abandon me? If you want to leave here, can I follow you?"
Lu Yuanbao still had a question in his heart: Will you disappear like my mother?
