The Guo family hadn't taken a bath since they fled the famine, so it took a long time just to take a bath.
Buckets of black, dirty water were taken out and poured out.
Boss Ye boiled five or six pots of hot water before he finally got all five members of the Guo family clean.
Mrs. Guo was the last to finish her bath. She changed into Mrs. Ye's old clothes and wiped her wet hair while sighing, "Taking a bath is so comfortable. I feel so much lighter."
Old man Guo was helping his son wipe his hair when he heard this and said, "You've got several pounds of mud rubbed off your body. How can you not feel light?"
"That's you!" Mrs. Guo rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm not as dirty as you."
"Okay, you are clean and I am dirty!" Old man Guo laughed and didn't take it to heart. After wiping his son's hair, he reached out and grabbed a grandson to continue wiping.
Old Mrs. Guo took off her shoes, got on the kang, and continued to wipe her hair.
As she wiped it, she looked at the furnishings in the house and whispered, “I didn’t expect that the old Ye family is living so well after returning to their hometown.
"It seems that what the people in the county said about the fourth brother getting a fifty-liang reward must be true!"
"Mom, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that the Ye family is living on my brother-in-law's money?"
"Why not?" Mrs. Guo said matter-of-factly, "We all escaped famine, so how come his family lives so comfortably?"
Old Man Guo said, "Look at what you said, how can they be the same as us?
"We are fleeing famine, and they are returning home to live with relatives. How can it be the same?"
Mrs. Guo rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, it's been so many years since Ye Donghai left home. He has no feelings for any relatives anymore."
“If he were still alive, he might be able to regain some of the old affection if he came back.
"But Ye Donghai has been gone for so many years. What can anyone do if his wife comes back with her family to live with her brother-in-law?
"You're just saying you're Ye Donghai's wife and you have four sons. How can anyone believe you?"
"Okay, stop talking about this. It will be embarrassing if someone hears it!"
Old man Guo stuffed his two grandsons into the bed and crawled in himself.
"Hurry up and finish drying your hair and turn off the light. You've been burning it for so long, it's a waste!"
"It's all my son-in-law's money anyway. As his mother-in-law, what's wrong with me using it?"
Old Mrs. Guo curled her lips, but still blew out the oil lamp and continued to wipe her hair in the dark.
She didn't say anything else, but she was thinking in her heart that she must give her a good talk after seeing her daughter.
It was not convenient to talk about dividing the family when she just got married, but now that Ye Lao Si has achieved such great success, why not divide the family quickly?
Are you waiting for the three older brothers to take advantage of you?
But no matter what they were thinking, the five members of the Guo family soon fell asleep one after another.
After all, it had been a long time since they had enjoyed such a comfortable life as having a full meal, wearing clean clothes, covering themselves with warm quilts, and sleeping on a warm kang.
The five members of the Guo family slept until noon the next day.
When they got up, Boss Ye had already driven to Beijing with his wife and daughter.
Old man Guo was the first to get up and come out. Seeing that the sun was already halfway up in the sky, he looked embarrassed.
He stood in the yard and looked around, wanting to find some work to do, but found that Old Ye's yard was tidy up especially well.
The ground was swept clean and there was no pile of firewood. There was only a row of row of water tanks at the base of the wall on the shady side, and no one knew what was inside them.
There were a few strips of bacon hanging under the eaves of the kitchen.
The children from last night were nowhere to be seen at this time. They might have gone out to play.
Seeing Old Man Guo stand up, Ye Lao San came over and said, "Uncle Guo, my eldest brother has gone to the city to look for Old Fourth. He will probably be back in the evening.
"Sister-in-law left some breakfast for you in the pot. I'll go heat it up for you.
Mrs. Ye heard the noise in the room and hurried out and asked, "Are you all up?
"My sister-in-law cooked wontons this morning, and now there's only soup in the pot.
"You don't know how to cook, I'll cook it."
Hearing this, Old Man Guo hurriedly said embarrassedly: "They are all up and in the house!"
Mrs. Ye knew at once that he was lying, but she didn't expose him. She just said, "It'll take a while. I'll go heat up the soup first, and then make the wontons for you."
Old Man Guo thanked you repeatedly: "I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble."
"It's not a big deal. I had nothing better to do during the Lunar New Year and packed some extra so I froze them in a jar. Now I just need to cook them."
Mrs. Ye San turned and went into the kitchen.
Ye Laosan followed in and helped to make a fire.
Old man Guo quickly turned around and went back to the house to wake up his wife, son and two grandsons.
Old Mrs. Guo turned over unhappily and muttered, "What are you doing? I finally get a good night's sleep, but you're not letting me get enough sleep?"
"Hurry up and get up. The Ye family has already had breakfast and is doing what they need to do. The third wife has already gone to make wontons for us.
"If you don't get up, someone will come in with wontons and tuck you under the covers. You'll see where you'll put your old face when that happens."
ravioli?
When Mrs. Guo heard these two words, she finally got out of bed.
On the other side, the two grandsons had already gotten up by themselves. Even Guo Shijie, who was unable to move his lower body, had supported himself with his arms and was now folding the quilt.
After getting up, Old Mrs. Guo went to wash up on her own, while Old Man Guo worked tirelessly to fold the bedding and put it in the kangqin, then asked his two grandsons to wash up, and then wrung out a cloth to wipe Guo Shijie's face and hands.
