Watching the freshly shaved heads emerge one by one, then line up like little white ducks and enter the bathroom, was quite amusing.
The boy is on one side, and the girl is on the other.
Before the children enter the bathroom, everything they are wearing must be completely removed and thrown into a basket by the door.
Zhao Qingyan dragged the discarded clothes into the yard, poured some oil on them, lit a match, and threw it on; they were quickly burned to ashes.
Although there were no scraps of cloth left at this time, who was Zhao Qingyan?
Having spent so much money adopting these little kids, how could they possibly be reluctant to part with that pile of junk?
What's more, it's a tattered piece of junk with bugs in it.
The children helped each other wash themselves in the bathroom.
When I came out, I discovered a very serious problem.
"Where are our clothes? Where are our clothes? Without clothes, are we supposed to stand here naked?"
A child's voice, trembling with tears, spoke.
The first group of children ran to the men's bathroom and the women's bathhouse respectively.
"Don't worry, Grandma and your older sister have prepared clothes and shoes for you. Let me tell you how to wear these clothes..."
Following the example of the little girl and the little boy, the thirty-odd new children put on brand-new clothes.
The girl wore a pullover dress with medium-sized shorts underneath. The boy wore a three-quarter sleeve vest and wide-leg pants.
The children wore matching black cloth shoes.
There's no difference in style, only in size. The only difference is that girls can choose to use ribbons as shoelaces.
Although the children found the new style of clothing novel, they felt great wearing it.
Especially for girls, although they don't wear long pants under their skirts, the shorts underneath give them a greater sense of security than the open-crotch pants of the past.
The dress also has a belt at the waist, which can be adjusted to fit different body sizes.
I feel so beautiful after wearing it.
Although they couldn't see their own faces, they could see the amazement in their companions' eyes.
They can also imagine how good their own clothes would look by looking at their companions' clothes.
Seeing the children laughing like little fools, Huang Shi and Zhao Qingyan felt much better.
"Very good, everyone has changed into new clothes now. From now on, everyone should pay attention to personal hygiene."
The clothes you are wearing now, you will have to wash yourselves from now on.
When they become too small, they will be given to children who are even smaller than you.
In the future, you will also wear the exclusive uniforms of our Qingmiao Orphanage..."
Time flies when you're with a child, and Huang and Zhao Qingyan spent a whole day at the orphanage.
The bricklayers really work very fast.
In just one day, the kitchen that Huang requested, capable of accommodating ten large pots at the same time, was completed.
They also used the extra stone slabs to build a long cutting board. They then spontaneously designed storage cabinets underneath.
Mr. Huang expressed great satisfaction with this.
In addition, the bathroom and toilet are major projects.
Upon seeing the design sketches, the bricklayers wore expressions of disbelief.
They'll definitely be able to do a good job with the facial expressions.
Zhao Qingyan and Madam Huang then left the three-courtyard house and returned to their rented apartment.
During the first two exams, it was either raining or hailing. But for the third exam, the weather was fantastic; the sun was so bright it seemed to scorch the earth.
The candidates, crammed into their cramped exam rooms, had nowhere to escape the sun, and by the afternoon they would be so hot they would feel dizzy and lightheaded.
Therefore, by the afternoon, the candidates in the east wing were basically unable to answer the questions normally.
The blazing sun is blinding, and the large beads of sweat dripping from it can easily smudge the exam paper.
This is really bad, whether it's sunny or cloudy.
It seems that Zhao Qianci's bad luck has ended, and unsurprisingly, but this does not mean that his luck will improve.
Naturally, they were assigned to the east wing. The examination room door faced west, and by the afternoon, the blazing sun clearly wouldn't discriminate based on who they were.
Lowering the oilcloth curtain stopped the sun from shining, but another problem arose: the examination room was as stuffy and hot as a steamer.
Zhao Qianci pondered for a long time, then suddenly remembered that there seemed to be saltpeter in the test basket.
Quickly pour the saltpeter into the wooden bucket filled with water.
Ice slowly began to form in the wooden barrel, and the temperature in the examination room seemed to have dropped considerably.
Because he needed light to answer the questions, Zhao Qianci did not fully lower the oilcloth curtain, but stopped it about a foot away from the table.
Three days passed quickly. If it weren't for the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water that Zhao Qingyan brought him, Zhao Qianci would probably have ended up like the other candidates who were carried out.
It's as if the sun is deliberately working against these test-takers.
That's incredibly ruthless.
Sun: Stop trying to scam me, I'm too busy.
Today is the last day of this autumn imperial examination, and the Huang family grandfather and grandson arrived at the entrance of the examination hall early.
The car was stocked with chilled plum juice and a large, chilled watermelon, just in time for people to enjoy these refreshing treats as soon as they got out.
However, what's even more ingenious about this grandfather and grandson is that since they were waiting anyway, they might as well make some money to spend, so they moved a small table and a small stool out of the car.
Huang was holding a watermelon knife in his hand.
With a snap, he cut the watermelon into several pieces. "Watermelon! Iced watermelon! If it's not sweet, you don't have to pay!"
Five coins a piece, first come, first served, limited stock, while supplies last.
After shouting, he picked up a piece and started eating it by himself.
The family members waiting for the test takers to come out were already feeling uneasy from the heat.
Suddenly, I saw the watermelon that Huang had placed on the small table. It was big and red, and looked very fresh.
It's only 5 coins a piece, how can I resist eating it?
One person buys one watermelon, another two, and soon Huang sold more than a dozen large watermelons.
Huang and Zhao Qingyan decided to stop while they were ahead.
It's really unreasonable to put too many watermelons on a carriage.
When someone asked again, Ms. Huang resolutely shook her head.
The small table was also brought onto the carriage.
When the Zhao family members came out and got into the car, they were able to cut and eat the melon themselves.
Xu Dongsheng was the first to come out. He wanted to see his fiancée as soon as possible.
Pulling the heavy exam basket, a series of screeching sounds were left on the bluestone pavement.
"Yan'er, are you getting impatient?" Xu Dongsheng's obsidian-like eyes shone brightly.
Zhao Qingyan's ears burned and her heart pounded.
"I'm alright. How are you feeling? It's been so hot these past few days, Dongsheng must be suffering."
Xu Dongsheng shook his head.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. I'm lucky. My exam room is in the west wing, so even if it's hot, it won't affect me much."
Is Yan'er some kind of fortune teller? How did she know the weather would be sunny this time, and that's why she brought us buckets and saltpeter?
If it weren't for Yan'er's preparations, I might have gotten heatstroke too.
