After Village Chief He left, Xiao Ruanruan and her older siblings peeked inside the house.
The house floor wasn't even paved with cement; the dark, muddy ground, after who knows how many years, was still full of potholes.
The house was indeed as the village chief had described; it was quite large, with a kitchen, a main room, and six bedrooms.
But without exception, they were all black and covered in thick dust.
Little Ruanruan had never experienced such a harsh environment in the orphanage when she was a child. Because the director was there, the orphanage was always very clean, no matter how poor the facilities were.
However, she is very adaptable and can survive in any environment, so she doesn't really care.
Su Xiaowu is an extremely carefree person who is completely unmoved by external things.
During the military's live-fire exercises, Li Mo'er had even slept in mud pits, so the fact that there was a bed in this house was already quite good in her eyes.
Su Lei and Qianqian had also experienced hardship, and more than the environment, they cared about the people they lived with.
In Sisi's words, as long as she can be with her brothers and Xiaoruanruan, even living in a cave and eating wild vegetables would be happiness.
The only one who is worrying is Su Yiqing.
Xiao Ruanruan, Li Moer, Qianqian, Su Lei, and Su Xiaowu all looked at Su Yiqing. Given Su Yiqing's obsession with cleanliness and fastidiousness, could he really accept this place?
Su Yiqing had already taken several deep breaths when everyone was checking the house and he wasn't seen. By then, he had mentally prepared himself to accept the situation.
When everyone looked at him, he calmly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's start cleaning up."
As he spoke, he walked towards the stove in the kitchen to start a fire.
Since he would definitely need hot water to clean up, he decided to boil some water first.
Fortunately, there was still plenty of firewood in front of the stove, and the water vat was full of water. The water looked very fresh, as if it had just been brought in. The firewood also looked like it had been brought here temporarily.
The village chief must have prepared it for them today.
It seems that although the village chief wasn't very enthusiastic towards them, he was still a very nice person.
Su Yiqing took a dry twig, lit a lighter, and started burning the twig.
Su Xiaowu, Su Lei, and Su Xixi didn't find anything wrong with what they saw.
Little Ruanruan and Sister Mo'er exchanged a glance and helplessly rubbed their foreheads in perfect unison.
Li Mo'er stretched out her hand to Su Yiqing, "Old Su, this job of starting the fire isn't suitable for you, let me do it!"
Su Yiqing was getting a little anxious as he looked at the branch that hadn't lit after trying for a while. He looked up at Li Mo'er in disbelief, "Mo'er, you know how?"
Li Mo'er naturally took the lighter from his hand, then sat on the tree stump where he had been sitting. She first threw the branch that he had been trying to light for a long time back into the pile of firewood, and then grabbed a handful of dry pine needles.
As he lit the fire, he said, "Wilderness survival is one of the basic skills that the military trains us in, and starting a fire is the most basic of all."
Su Yiqing: Uh...
He watched as Li Mo'er easily lit the pine needles and threw them into the stove before slowly adding dry branches. He rubbed his nose somewhat awkwardly.
His skills in this area seem to be really lacking!
The main reason is that he has lived in the city since he was a child and has never seen these things before.
"Then I'll wash the pot." Su Yiqing took the initiative to wash the pot.
But when he stood in front of the stove, he was stumped.
Because I didn't know what to use to wash it.
On the dark stove, there was a black rag whose original color was no longer recognizable. Su Yiqing tried several times, taking deep breaths, but still didn't have the courage to pick up the rag, let alone go near the dark stove to wash the black pot.
However, Xiao Ruanruan and Xixi found a bar of unused soap in the room, which was probably left behind by the previous person who lived here.
Su Xiaowu picked up a clean ladle, scooped a ladleful of water from the water vat, poured it into the pot, then took the soap from Xiao Ruanruan's hand, threw the dark rag into the pot, rubbed it with soap, and started rubbing.
In no time, the water in the pot, which was originally clear, turned into a dark, sticky mess.
Su Yiqing felt like vomiting, and was also somewhat shocked by Su Xiaowu's skillful movements. "Xiaowu, when did you learn to do these things?"
While calmly changing the water and washing the rag, Su Xiaowu used the rag to wash the pot, and replied, "I already know how to do that!"
"Didn't you, tyrant, demand that I start doing my own chores at the age of three? Isn't washing a rag the same as washing your own underwear?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Little Softie tugged at the hem of her older brother's clothes, looked at him with smiling eyes, and said in a sweet, childlike voice, "Big brother, my little brother is also very good, right?"
He's just different from you and your other brothers in terms of excellence.
The other brothers' excellence is more lofty and sophisticated, while the younger brother's excellence is down-to-earth but most practical.
Sometimes, Xiao Ruanruan feels that her older brother doesn't seem like a child from a wealthy family at all. Instead, he's like a blade of grass that can grow wildly as long as there's a little bit of sunshine and rain.
Moreover, the young man has a good attitude and never complains. No matter how angry he gets, after a while, he is the same happy and carefree Su Xiaowu again.
Su Yiqing nodded to Xiao Ruanruan, and then looked at the quick-moving Su Xiaowu with eyes full of satisfaction.
