"Then you take a shower first, and once you're done cleaning up, you'll be almost ready for dinner."
Li Aihua scooped the boiling water from the stove into an iron bucket and asked Hu Xiaoyi to add cold water and take it to the toilet to take a shower and wash his hair.
There was a rotten smell on Hu Xiaoyi.
Hu Xiaoyi added cold water on the side, and Li Aihua scooped the remaining boiling water in the stove into another iron bucket and covered it with a wooden lid.
This is my daughter's bath water.
After brushing his teeth, Hu Lin came back and saw the scene in the kitchen. He put the bowl on the stove and helped Li Aihua light the fire and cook.
Li Aihua took out corn flour, red bean flour and sorghum flour from the cupboard, poured some into the vegetable bowl, and stirred it with water.
Hu Xiaoyi carried some water and went to the toilet to take a shower.
Li Aihua glanced at Hu Xiaoyi who was leaving and asked Hu Lin, "Daughter, can I get two eggs to make fried eggs for your father?"
The eggs at home were saved and sold to the supply and marketing cooperative to repay Dr. Zhao.
But when she looked at Hu Xiaoyi, she found that he had become much thinner and looked completely different from the person he was when he went out a few months ago.
She just wanted to give him some good food to nourish him.
Before Hu Lin could reply, Li Aihua explained, "He will have to go back to work in the fields after a night's rest.
I’m worried that he won’t be able to take it and will collapse from exhaustion, and that he’ll have to spend money on medical treatment.”
Hu Lin raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Why does she feel that Li Aihua is trying to be cover-up?
"It's up to you to decide. The money for eggs isn't the bulk of the payment." Game is the main source of repayment.
"Hey!" Li Aihua responded and took out two eggs from the cupboard.
"By the way, you don't need to let him know about the debt repayment." It was almost paid off, and she was too lazy to explain to Hu Xiaoyi.
I don't want to talk to idiots.
"Okay, anyway, after we pay September's money next month, there won't be much left.
It would be difficult to explain it to him.”
Li Aihua had no objection to this matter.
Hu Lin felt somewhat comforted when she heard that Li Aihua had similar ideas to hers.
Changing the way of teaching is indeed much more useful.
The stronger your autonomy, the faster you will progress.
When Hu Xiaoyi came out after cleaning up, Huhu was already ready and Li Aihua was frying eggs for him.
Hu Xiaoyi, who was so hungry that he felt a little dizzy, smelled the aroma of fried eggs and his mouth started drooling like crazy.
I couldn't help but smack my lips.
During these three months in the city, the food I ate was much worse than at home.
The smell of the greasy fried eggs made him almost cry with greed.
Hu Xiaoyi held the still hot porridge in his hand and drank two mouthfuls to fill his stomach. Only then did he regain some sense.
"Why did you fry the eggs? I saved it for you and the bitch."
He didn't even know what life was like at home, so how could a grown man like him eat such a delicious thing as eggs?
Li Aihua was in poor health and Jianya was at the stage of growing up, so naturally they were given priority.
"We have enough eggs at home, it's okay for you to eat two," Li Aihua explained.
Hu Xiaoyi stopped talking while drinking the porridge, but his eyes were fixed on the stove.
When the eggs were cooked, Li Aihua shoveled them into Hu Xiaoyi's food bowl.
"You go out to eat."
Hu Xiaoyi went out obediently.
It was pitch black outside, and there was only an oil lamp in the hall, emitting a dim glow, illuminating the dark night.
In the kitchen, Li Aihua washed the pot and boiled water for her own bath, then added cold water to the hot water that she had scooped aside earlier.
"My girl, I'll carry you to the toilet." Li Aihua said, carrying a large iron bucket of water and going to the toilet.
Hu Lin held up the oil lamp on the stove to illuminate Li Aihua.
After watching Li Aihua put the water in the toilet, Hu Lin went back to the house to get a change of clothes.
Hu Xiaoyi, who was eating at a square table, was a little surprised when he saw Li Aihua carrying a large iron bucket of water without any effort at all.
Li Aihua was not like this before he left.
She seemed to be getting better.
In the past few months, Li Aihua has to make five trips to the county town every month.
Carrying more than ten kilograms of things on my back also gave my body a workout.
Not to mention that in the past half month, there was not much firewood at home, so she had to go up the mountain to collect firewood.
If you do more heavy work, your body will naturally become stronger.
After finishing his meal, Hu Xiaoyi handed the ninety-two yuan that he had kept tightly clenched in his pocket on the way home to Li Aihua.
"This is your wages. Keep it. After the autumn harvest, go to the county town to buy some household supplies."
Li Aihua took the roll of money that was a little softened by sweat, and her heart was inexplicably touched.
There is a feeling of home that calls out.
"Okay, I'll keep it." Li Aihua responded calmly, but her palms feeling hot while holding the money.
"Is everything fine at home these past few months?" Hu Xiaoyi asked.
He himself couldn't explain clearly enough to ask.
Logically, nothing should happen, but his mother's face kept flashing through his mind.
"Nothing."
A lot of things have happened recently, but she doesn't want to tell Hu Xiaoyi any of them.
I have no desire to confide in him.
"Is the firewood I chopped last time enough?" Hu Xiaoyi didn't know why he wanted to talk more with Li Aihua.
"It ran out at the end of last month. I go up the mountain every day to collect firewood and it's enough."
"Then I'll go up the mountain to chop some firewood tomorrow morning."
"good."
At this point, the two were speechless.
There was a moment of silence. Hu Xiaoyi was really sleepy.
Reluctantly, he explained, "I haven't slept well at the construction site these past few months, so I want to go to sleep."
"good."
She didn't mention a word about the news she had learned about the workers before, nor did she show much concern.
Hu Xiaoyi went back to his room in the dark to sleep, and Li Aihua took the vegetable basin on the table to the kitchen to wash it.
