Pour it in with full breath.

That tastes terrible!!

There is nothing to do in the cold weather, except visiting friends and doing needlework. It gets dark early, so people usually have dinner early (some farmers even have two meals) and go to bed early.

Lin Lan's family was no exception. After dinner, she boiled a large pot of water for the children to take a bath.

Mai Sui is a girl who likes to be clean, so Lin Lan asked her to wash first, scrub her clean, put on clean underwear and wrap herself in a cotton quilt before going to bed. It was cold in winter, so in order to save firewood, Mai Sui now shared a bed with the boys, separated by a bed cabinet.

She called all the boys over. Erwang and Dawang could wash themselves, but Sanwang and Xiaowang wanted her help.

Han Qingsong wanted to help her, but Sanwang yelled, "Dad, don't do it!"

I wonder how painful it must be for those invincible hands that scrub the body!

Lin Lan slapped him playfully, "Mom is more powerful, hurry up and make it."

After soaking in this way, the dust on the body fell off.

Xiaowang was a good boy sitting in the basin. The hot water dyed his fair skin red. He couldn't wear glasses, so he sat in the basin and hummed nursery rhymes. From time to time, Sanwang splashed water on his face. He would stay there for a while, then touch his face and continue humming.

Lin Lan touched Xiao Wang and said happily, "Finally, you have some flesh on your body."

Sanwang made a scary face, "You can eat it now~ Awu——" He took a bite on Xiaowang's shoulder.

Even though he was pretending, he really bit Xiaowang's shoulder without any mercy and left two teeth marks.

Lin Lan: “Sanwang!”

Sanwang: "Hey, if you want to deceive me, just call me Xiao San Ge. If you don't like me, just yell at me Sanwang. Hey... woman!"

Lin Lan: "..." How many women do you know? "Don't learn from Liu Chuncai again!"

She quickly washed Xiaowang clean, and Han Qingsong wiped him dry with a towel, then stuffed the naked Xiaowang into the warm quilt.

Lin Lan then took a piece of loofah pulp and vigorously scrubbed Sanwang's face. What a mud!

Sanwang is very active and sweats even in very cold weather. Although he usually washes and wipes himself, he doesn't do anything.

Looking at the streaks of plaster rolling up, Lin Lan: “…………”

What is this unique sense of accomplishment?

Sanwang felt both pain and comfort, humming inside, "Mom, rub Xiaowang gently, and give me some bald pig hair, I picked it up!"

Erwang also came in to wash, and seeing Sanwang like that, he screamed, "Mom, I need to change the water!"

Sanwang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Second brother, you are even dirtier because you run every day. Let's not blame each other."

Lin Lan said: "Wash it first, then change the water and rinse it."

We can't waste water. Firewood is precious at home. They used a lot of it to begin with, and now they'll use a lot more. If what they got isn't enough to burn, they'll have to find a way out.

Lin Lan signaled to Er Wang: "Take off your clothes and come in quickly. It's so cold outside."

Erwang was a little embarrassed, "Mom, I'll wash it myself."

Lin Lan: "Then let your father rub it?"

Han Qingsong said with a look of disgust: "Let them rub each other."

Erwang: “…” I didn’t let you rub it, you rubbed your skin and broke it!

In the end, Erwang and Dawang took a bath together. As Sanwang expected, they sweated from running exercises every day, so even if they were wiped, it was just a consolation.

After this soak, it was a huge harvest.

When Lin Lan and Han Qingsong helped pour the water, she smiled and said, "There's nothing in it, just pour the water over the vegetables. Our spinach and chives will grow extra big."

Xiao Wang gestured with his hands, "As tall as dad."

Sanwang laughed loudly: "You said Dad grew up eating plaster!"

Lin Lan really wanted to throw him out. This kid had become more and more talkative under Liu Chuncai's guidance. Wouldn't he be even harder to control than Dawang when he grew up?

By the time the children had washed up and gone to bed, Xiaowang had already fallen asleep.

The little face is rosy and the little mouth is rosy, which makes people feel soft-hearted.

Once the child fell asleep, no matter how he was tossed, he would not wake up. Lin Lan would rub some Vaseline on him and put some balm on his mouth to prevent it from drying out.

When she finished cleaning up, Han Qingsong had already refilled the pot with water. "There's still half a pot left. There's no need to heat it anymore."

Lin Lan: "After I wash, don't you have to wash too? Cook another pot?"

Han Qingsong: "I washed it at the commune, it's not dirty."

"Then take a bath. Let me tell you, a hot bath in winter is very comfortable."

Lin Lan took off her clothes and quickly sat in the water. She tested the water temperature with the inside of her elbow. It was about 41 or 42 degrees. It felt hot, but very comfortable.

"Ah...it feels so comfortable." She moaned, and then saw Han Qingsong also taking off his clothes.

"You, you don't want to wash!"

Han Qingsong: "Bubble is comfortable." He stepped into the barrel with his long legs and pulled her into his arms with his arms outstretched.

Lin Lan: ...No wonder this bucket is so big.

But it feels warmer leaning against him.

Finally finished washing, the water is cool!

He got on the kang, crawled under the quilt, blew the light, and his big hands wandered around her waist.

Lin Lan: “…No more.” Now I can go to sleep.

“I bought a new one.”

Lin Lan: “…When did you buy it?”

"With the medicine." He took out an iron box from the kang cabinet and gave it to her. "Is it enough?"

It’s a really big box, it feels like the aluminum box that doctors use to store needles.

Lin Lanhun's body was about to burn, "You... I'm not laughing at you." Asking his comrades to buy it from the provincial capital from afar... he was bound to be laughed at.

Han Qingsong: "They don't dare."

Return it to them? How many people know this? Lin Lan felt that things would never get better. She hoped that they would never meet again in this life.
