It's sunny today, so Lu Changge took out the clothesline and hung the clothes out to dry in the yard.
The three plots of land in the yard have been tilled and sown with seeds.
When the kids came back from outside, Li Tugen came out of the cultivation house to remind them not to step in.
After drying the clothes, Lu Changge began to clean up the remaining two rooms.
Lu Changge and his wife's room is the one in the middle.
The one on the west side is close to the small kitchen, so I cleaned it up for Tuanzi.
Keep the room on the east side for now.
I wiped the west room once with a wet cloth, and then wiped it twice with a dry cloth.
After the bed board is dry, put the mattress on it.
All of Little Tuanzi's toys were taken out and put in his room.
After finishing, Lu Changge left the house and went into the kitchen to get out the hot water that Er Teng had prepared.
After traveling for more than half a month, the whole family has to take a full bath today.
"Tuanzi, come here." Lu Changge cooled the hot water and called Tuanzi, who was still running wildly in the yard, to come over.
"Ah? Daddy, are you calling me?" The little dumpling stopped and shouted to his daddy.
"Come and wash your hair."
"Oh!" When he heard that he needed to wash his hair, Little Dumpling ran over quickly.
Lu Changge took off Tuanzi's outer cotton coat and put on his old one.
Then she picked up the kid, put him on her lap and started washing his hair.
"Is the water hot?" Lu Changge scooped some water onto his head and asked as usual.
"Don't bother, it's cool." The little dumpling looked up at the sky, and was blinded by the brightness.
"Daddy, it's bright up there, and my eyes hurt."
In the past, when Tuanzi washed his hair, Er Teng would cover his eyes. But this time, three families were living together, so Da Teng and Er Teng could not come out.
"I'll put a blindfold on you later."
Lu Changge added some hot water to the basin and put a small eye mask on Tuanzi.
Uncle Lu is washing brother Tuanzi's hair.
The three children standing nearby looked on with some envy.
Li Xiaomin, who happened to be coming out of the kitchen, saw it.
Look at Uncle Lu who is washing Tuanzi’s hair, and then look at his younger brothers and sisters who are watching him enviously.
After thinking about it, he turned around and walked into the kitchen again.
Not long after, Li Xiaomin also brought out a bucket of hot water from the kitchen and called her sister to wash her hair.
Eventually, it developed into the situation where the children would sit in a row and their older brothers or sisters or fathers would wash their hair.
After washing and drying his hair, Lu Changge helped Tuanzi put on his cotton coat and then put him on a stool.
"Just sit still and let your hair dry."
"good!"
Pour the remaining water after washing your hair into a water storage bucket and save it for watering the vegetables tomorrow.
Lu Changge went back into the small kitchen and brought out two buckets of hot water, preparing to wash his wife's hair.
As for the second baby, we took out the stroller, covered it with a black veil, and let him bask in the sun in the yard.
Seeing his younger brother coming out, Tuanzi dragged the bench to his brother's side.
When washing your wife's hair, you need to prepare a lot of things.
Recliner, eye mask, blanket.
"Master, I thought you were a hairdresser washing a customer's hair. You are so well prepared." Er Teng couldn't help but speak out.
[Will you shut up? If not, I'll help you.] Lu Changge was silent for a while and then said.
After Er Teng heard what his master said, he just kept silent.
Alas, now it is impossible to say a word.
The little master can no longer chat with it casually, and Er Teng, who is a chatterbox, has become extremely bored.
After cleaning up the two vines, Lu Changge continued to wash his wife's hair.
Su Qingyun took off his outer shirt and was left wearing only an inner shirt and a sweater.
Then she put on an eye mask and lay down on the recliner. Lu Changge covered his wife with a blanket and prepared to wash her hair.
The first step before washing your hair is to straighten it.
Su Qingyun has long black hair, and she combs it every morning and evening, so it rarely gets tangled.
After combing your hair, wet it with warm water, then apply bubbles and start washing your hair.
It was the first time that Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin saw Uncle Lu washing someone's hair, and there were so many preparations to be done in the early stages.
Both said they were stunned for a moment.
It usually takes more than an hour to wash and dry Su Qingyun's hair.
After Su Qingyun finished washing, Lu Changge was next.
I washed and dried my hair, and the afternoon was basically gone.
The sun began to move westward, the yard was gradually covered by shadows, and the temperature began to cool down.
Su Qingyun carried the second baby back to the house. After washing his hair and taking a bath, the little girl loved to be clean, so she followed her father into the house.
Because his children and daughter-in-law were not resistant to freezing, Lu Changge had Da Teng burnt to the ground early.
The sun began to set and Lu Changge went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Today's dinner is still hot pot, with mushroom soup base.
Five or six soaked mushrooms, some red dates and wolfberries.
After the soup base was cooked, Lu Changge moved the pot into the house.
Put various meatballs and ribs in to cook first, and then move the ingredients in one by one.
The staple food is rice, with two pieces of instant bread on the side.
If there is not enough rice later, you can cook some noodles.
Little Dumpling had already run over and was waiting when his father brought in the pot.
Put the meatballs and pork ribs into the pot and cook. After a while, the aroma of the meat slowly spreads out.
The little girl tried to raise her head and sniff. Although she couldn't wait any longer, she didn't dare to climb onto the high chair by herself.
Seeing Daddy coming in with a plate again, Little Dumpling ran over and asked expectantly, "Daddy, is it time to eat?"
"Are you hungry?" Lu Changge looked down at him.
"I'm hungry!"
"You can't eat it yet." Lu Changge shook his head in response to the boy's expectation.
Tuanzi: "QAQ"
"Go call your father over, you can eat when you come back." Lu Changge sent Tuanzi to do something.
As the main room in the middle, this room is divided into three parts.
There is a table opposite the door, which is used for eating in the house.
Further inside are two screens, behind which is a double bathtub for bathing.
Walking to the right from the door, you will find the bed, which is also separated by two screens.
Because his younger brother was sleeping, in order not to wake him up, Tuanzi walked in carefully.
After walking in, I saw my father reading a book, so I walked carefully to his side and whispered in his ear: "Father, it's time for dinner..."
"Okay." Seeing Tuanzi like this, Su Qingyun laughed.
When Tuanzi heard her father's laughter, she subconsciously looked at her brother on the bed.
Not awake.
Tuanzi breathed a sigh of relief, "Father, keep your voice down and don't wake up my brother."
Tuanzi successfully called his father out, and his brother didn't cry. At this time, the meatballs and ribs in the pot were cooked.
Lu Changge scooped out the meatballs, cut them in half, and put two pieces of soft pork ribs in between.
Then he carried the kid over to the high chair and put a bib on him.
"Blow on it a few times before eating, don't burn yourself." Lu Changge reminded us every day.
"Okay!" The little girl smoothed her bib and then picked up the spoon to eat the meat.
After serving the dumplings, Lu Changge scooped a bowl of meatballs and pork ribs for his wife and added some soup.
"Be careful with the burns."
"Yeah." Su Qingyun reached out and moved the bowl over.
After scooping a bowl for himself, Lu Changge poured in lotus root slices, potato chips and a plate of beef rolls.
After eating the meat, I blanched a few chopsticks of lettuce.
After dinner, it was completely dark outside.
Lu Changge cleared the dishes and went out, and soon came back with two buckets of hot water.
After adjusting the water temperature, Lu Changge called his wife to take a bath, while he carried Tuanzi back to his room.
Tuanzi's room also had a floor heating system, and it was as warm as spring in the room.
"Go to sleep sweetly. Call Er Teng if anything happens." Lu Changge stuffed the kid into the quilt, leaving half of the bed curtains undrawn.
It's cold now and there are few mosquitoes.
"I know." The little girl grabbed the quilt with both hands and said obediently.
After Lu Changge went out and closed the door, Er Teng, who had been staying in the room without saying a word, carefully slipped onto the bed.
Then he would lie on the head of the bed and chat with his little master, making up for the daytime work.
Of course, it didn't dare to be too reckless, and would urge its little master to go to bed when the time came.
…
The next morning, before daybreak, two carriages stopped outside the gate.
The people from the two carriages got out and their eyes met.
After trying the samples that Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin brought over yesterday, I felt that this was going to be a big hit.
Therefore, this morning, the shopkeepers of Fugui Tower and Feiyun Tower came here in person with the shoppers in the tower.
I never thought that I would meet an acquaintance here.
Although Fugui Building and Feiyun Building are not rivals, it is inevitable that some guests will compare them.
After hearing so much, the shopkeepers of the two restaurants began to feel a little uncomfortable.
"Oh! It's Manager Jin. Why do you, such a busy man, come to this small place?" Manager Lin of Fugui Building said with a smile.
"Small place? Since Manager Lin thinks this is a small place, why did you come here?" Manager Jin glanced at him expressionlessly.
“…”
The two shopkeepers, who looked at each other with disdain, turned around at the same time and walked to the front door.
Shopkeeper Lin couldn't stand Shopkeeper Jin's expression, so he stepped forward first, raised his hand, took the door ring and knocked on the door.
After knocking, he even turned back and gave me a provocative look.
"Manager Lin, there's no need to do this. Just let someone else knock on the door." Manager Jin said as he stood aside and waited.
"you!"
Hearing the sarcasm in Manager Jin's words, Manager Lin became a little angry.
But at this moment, I thought of something and my anger subsided.
"What's the big deal? It's said that doing things in person shows sincerity."
After another round of negotiations, the game ended in a draw, and the two shop owners stopped talking.
After a few people waited outside the door for a while, the door opened.
The person who came to open the door was Lu Changge. He was the only one who got up at this time.
Li Tugen only started growing vegetables after returning yesterday.
After wasting a whole morning, he had to work overtime at night to grow the vegetables.
Harvesting, sorting and packing all take time, so I got up late this morning.
"Come in."
Lu Changge was not surprised that they came so early, and opened the door to let them in.
After the door opened, the people standing outside saw the two big wolfhounds behind Lu Changge, who were staring at them intently.
People were so frightened that they dared not move.
Lu Changge followed their line of sight and looked at Dahei and Erhei, and suddenly he understood.
"Don't worry, they won't bite." Lu Changge asked Dahei and Erhei to leave.
Only after seeing the big wolfhound leave did the two shopkeepers and the people behind them dare to go in.
"Uncle Lu?"
Li Xiaomin was awakened by the knock on the door. As she walked out of the house, she saw Uncle Lu leading two shop managers in.
"Miss Li, we are here to move some things. I hope we don't disturb you?" asked Jin, the shopkeeper of Feiyun Tower.
"No...no, I have already prepared today's portion. Do you want it now?" Li Xiaomin asked.
"Yes, thank you Miss Li." Shopkeeper Jin nodded.
Li Xiaomin's family lives in the east wing.
She lives in one room with San Ya, and Li Erniu and Sihu live in one room.
The remaining room near the gate was converted by her into a large kitchen.
Li Xiaomin opened the door, and bags of packaged cooked food were neatly stacked on the table.
There are two packs in each paper bag, for a total of fifty bags.
"Because we didn't prepare enough food boxes, today's cooked food will be without soup," Li Xiaomin explained.
"It's okay. I'll have someone deliver it this afternoon." Shopkeeper Jin said, motioning the three people behind him to go in and move the things.
"If Feiyun Tower provides it... can you send us a large-mouthed clay pot? The pot should be able to hold more than ten portions at a time, so it won't be a hassle." Li Xiaomin suggested in a low voice.
"Okay, send the pottery jars and food boxes over." Shopkeeper Jin nodded in agreement.
While the waiter was moving things around, Li Xiaomin went in and brought out a sample dish.
"This is a sample dish. Mr. Jin can try the taste."
When people started moving things in Feiyun Building, Li Tugen was also woken up by his uncle Lu.
Hearing that the people from Fuguilou had arrived, Li Tugen sat up with a groan and became sober instantly.
After getting dressed and leaving the house, Li Tugen saw that Sister Xiaomin had already started working, so he quickly opened the warehouse where the vegetables were stored.
"Manager Lin, the thirty kilograms of vegetables are all here."
Thirty kilograms of vegetables may sound like a lot, but in reality, it's not much.
Especially when compared with the pile of radishes and cabbages in the corner, the vegetables piled on the table seem even more pitiful.
"Brother Tugen, that pile of cabbages in the corner..."
"Does Manager Lin want it?" Li Tugen asked.
"right."
Finally, Li Tugen sold the thirty-six cabbages piled in the corner to Fuguilou.
The cabbages grown by Li Tugen grow very standard, with each cabbage weighing about six to seven kilograms.
Before leaving, Shopkeeper Lin asked Li Tugen to prepare more for tomorrow and said that money was not a problem.
After all, every vegetable grew tall and lush green, and Shopkeeper Lin was sure that the business of Fugui Building would be booming.
After all, the wealthy people in the inner city have no shortage of meat, but what they lack is some crispy vegetables.
After Lu Changge woke up Li Tugen, he went into the kitchen.
By the time he finished breakfast, the people from Feiyun Tower and Fugui Tower were just about to leave.
After everyone left, Li Tugen closed the door and went into the kitchen to light a fire and make breakfast.
Li Xiaomin also went into the room and called her younger brothers and sisters.
After breakfast, Li Tugen watered the vegetable patch in the yard, then took a wooden basin and went to wash clothes with Uncle Lu.
"Sister Xiaomin, Uncle Lu and I are going to do some laundry. Do you want to come with us?"
"Washing clothes? Wait a minute..." Li Xiaomin ran into the house and took out yesterday's clothes.
Li Xiaomin followed with a bucket and a basin, asking, "Is there a place for washing clothes here?"
"Yes, it's where Uncle Lu and I fetched water yesterday."
When little Tuanzi saw his father going out, he called Goudan and the others and was the first to run out of the house.
The kids walked this road several times yesterday, so they weren't so cautious anymore and just ran forward laughing.
All the sisters went out, and San Ya followed them.
They went there fairly early, and when they arrived there were only a few people on the slabs where clothes were washed.
There were quite a few people drawing water from the big well.
Lu Changge found the same place as yesterday, put down the wooden basin, and picked up two wooden buckets to fetch water.
Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin were on the left and right, occupying the empty seats on both sides of Uncle Lu.
After putting down the things, he also carried the bucket and the shoulder pole over.
However, before leaving, Li Xiaomin looked back.
Seeing Erhei sitting there watching over him, he felt relieved.
While the adults were washing clothes, the kids went straight to the big tree to play.
When Xiaotuanzi and his friends ran over, there was already a child and a stern-faced man waiting there.
"Brother Jinbao, the nests are here!"
"You guys are too slow! You made me...this young master wait for so long!" The four-year-old boy named Jin Bao said angrily with his hands on his hips, puffed up his cheeks, and looked angry.
"Ah? We ran here right after breakfast, so we're not slow." Goudan scratched his head and said with a puzzled look on his face.
"What?! You actually had breakfast! Damn..." Jin Bao snorted and became even angrier.
"Brother Jinbao, haven't you had this before?" Little Tuanzi asked with a puzzled look on his face, and raised his head to glance at the cold-faced man next to Jinbao.
"Your father won't give you a meal?"
"My father... my father is not here... stop, is that the point? Now we are talking about you guys making me wait for so long, don't you have any expression?"
Although Jinbao is only four years old, he speaks more clearly and his words are more clever than those of normal children.
"What do you mean?" Sihu asked in confusion.
"Isn't he your father?" Little Dumpling's focus was as different as ever.
"What do you think? Is such a person worthy of being the father of this...this young master?" Jin Bao raised his head and glanced at the cold-faced man beside him with disdainful eyes.
The person who was being talked about by the young guys still had a cold face and his expression did not change at all.
When Little Dumpling heard what Brother Jinbao said, he took a few steps back and looked up at the cold-faced man.
I even ran to both sides to observe him, focusing on his face.
"What are you doing?" Jin Bao's thoughts were successfully diverted when he saw Xiaotuanzi's actions.
The kids nearby saw Brother Tuanzi staring at people and became interested, looking up at him.
Goudan even ran over to the man and touched the thing in his hand.
But he didn't touch her. The cold-faced man took a step back and looked down at him expressionlessly.
Will Goudan be scared by Uncle Lu's expressionless face when he often sees him?
will not.
Not to mention that Goudan was so careless that he couldn't understand the meaning of other people's eyes at all.
"Brother Jinbao, what is that?" Goudan pointed at the thing in the man's hand and asked.
"Oh, it's just a sword." Jin Bao replied casually, and looked at Tuanzi who was still looking at his guards.
"Tuanzi, what do you see him doing?"
"I'm observing..." The little dumpling looked very serious.
"So what did you observe?"
"Observation... He seems to be shorter than my father, but when he's not talking, he looks like my father..."
Little Tuanzi said, looking at Brother Jinbao, "Is he too short, so he can't be your father?"
"It seems so... Uncle Lu is taller than big brother."
"Uncle Lu can scare children to tears even when he's not smiling, but he can't scare us to tears..."
Goudan and Sihu nodded in agreement after hearing what brother Tuanzi said.
Hearing what Tuanzi said, the cold-faced man's mouth twitched. He didn't understand how this kid came to this conclusion.
"Ah?" Jin Bao was stunned by what Xiaotuanzi said. He looked at him with a puzzled look, "If you want to understand it this way...it's not impossible."
Just then, a gurgling sound was heard.
Xiaotuanzi, Goudan and the others looked at Brother Jinbao's belly at the same time.
"Look...what are you looking at?! I've never seen anyone with a rumbling stomach..." Jin Bao subconsciously covered his stomach, trying to cover it up.
Then, a series of gurgling sounds were heard again.
"Brother Jinbao, your stomach growls when you're hungry." Little Dumpling explained seriously.
Finally, Jin Bao became angry and embarrassed after being exposed by Xiaotuanzi.
In order to prevent Brother Jinbao from breaking off their relationship, Xiaotuanzi invited him to his home.
When daddy finished washing the clothes and called them to go back, little Tuanzi pulled his brother Jinbao over and ran over.
"Daddy! Can we let Brother Jinbao come to our house to play?"
"You have to ask his family about this." Lu Changge looked down at the gold treasure in the little Tuanzi's mouth and said to Tuanzi.
"Tuanzi, you are right. Your father is indeed taller than my guard. When he doesn't smile, he is even scarier than my guard." Jinbao came up to Tuanzi and whispered.
"My dad is the best, he is not scary." Little Dumpling said with a disapproving look.
Seeing his guard coming over, Jin Bao pointed at him and said to Tuanzi's father, "Uncle Lu, this is my master. He agreed to let me visit Tuanzi's home."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changge looked at the cold-faced man who had a similar personality to the others.
"Yes." Feeling threatened by the young prince's eyes, the guard could only nod in response.
"Okay, let's go back."
