The big pot stove on the east side is connected to the kang in Erbao's bedroom, and then there is a coal stove connected to the kang in Niu Niu's bedroom.
As for Erbao's bedroom, it is heated by the fireplace in the living room.
Su Xia was very satisfied with this design. She gave each child one coal briquettes. On sunny days, she would put two coal briquettes in the room before going to bed, and the room would be warm all night long.
The bathroom on the easternmost side was the one Su Xia was most satisfied with. The area inside was basically the same as the bathrooms in later buildings.
The walls of the entire bathroom were paved with light-colored tiles. The floor was cement, with pebbles on top. There was a bathtub, basically big enough for the two kids, Dabao and Erbao, to swim together.
Then there was the washbasin rack with the washbasin on it, and a shelf in the corner where Su Xia placed towels, bath towels, shampoo and body soap, and laundry detergent, now called soap powder.
Tools, brushes, and ointments for a family of five.
Su Xia took a look at the bathroom. Although there was still no indoor toilet, this was within Su Xia's reach and she had made one.
As for the toilet, it’s just right to be outside so that the smell doesn’t fill the room.
Then we went to the backyard, which was similar in layout to the village, with a well and a cellar next to it, which was later dug by Chen Jianguo and others.
The surrounding walls are 2 meters high, giving a strong sense of security. Near the back wall, there is a firewood shed, a toilet in the east corner, and a shack in the middle.
Su Xia stood in front of the shack and began to think about the chickens and three geese at home. He had raised them for almost five years. To be honest, it was almost like raising pets.
After Chen Jianguo came out of the cellar, he saw Su Xia who was in a daze.
Walking over and following his gaze, Chen Jianguo stared at the empty shack. His mind worked quickly and he quickly guessed that his wife was thinking about the things at home.
Su Xia felt that there was someone beside her. She knew it was a man without looking.
"You said, this shed won't be wasted if it's empty?"
Chen Jianguo smiled and hugged Su Xia, "I'll bring you the chicken from home next time, okay?"
Su Xia gave him a reproachful look and asked, "Do you think my mother will give it to you?"
Chen Jianguo was stunned and put the knife down awkwardly, thinking of his mother's protectiveness towards her children. However, she was only protecting the livestock at home, which was no different from her life.
I really don't have the courage. If I really bring him here, Mother Chen will definitely fight to the death.
"Well, wife, I'll go to that place and buy you a few later. It's too troublesome to bring them back from home!"
Su Xia rolled her eyes and wanted to say, "If you're scared, just say it. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?"
This went on for three hours, and the front and back yards and the woodshed were half full of firewood, enough to last for several months.
It was the empty yard that made Su Xia feel uncomfortable, but it was not too late at this age.
"If you have some free time these two days, you can dig up the backyard and plant some cabbage and radishes. You can also plant some vegetables every day."
Chen Jianguo nodded, "Okay, I'll do it after get off work."
Su Xia took a look and said, "Go buy two more bags of coal briquettes later. The three children's rooms are a bit damp. It's better to burn some to get rid of the moisture."
"Okay, I'll go there later and buy some meat. The kids are greedy," Chen Jianguo responded.
Su Xia glanced at him and asked, "Is it the child who is greedy, or you?"
Chen Jianguo smiled but didn't respond. He changed his clothes and went out to the children, "I'm going shopping. Who's going with you?"
The three children were stunned, and then ran over excitedly, "Dad, let's go..."
"Dad, let's go!" Erbao shouted.
Niuniu is looking forward to it, but she thinks that as the eldest sister, it is better to give it to her younger brother.
"Dad, I won't go. I'm going to help Mom."
Chen Jianguo looked at his daughter with satisfaction, saying that she was becoming more sensible as she grew older. He touched his daughter's face.
"Okay, Dad will buy you something delicious."
Niuniu nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Dad."
"Dad, where are we?" Dabao asked hurriedly.
Chen Jianguo finally decided to take Dabao with him and coaxed Erbao, "Let's go in order of age. Sister won't go. Next is brother, and then Erbao, okay?"
Erbao pouted, dissatisfied, but this order was indeed the best for him.
Sighing, Master 께 said, "Well, who says 놖 is the best!"
Phew—Chen Jianguo burst into laughter, while Dabao laughed heartily.
Niuniu touched her brother's head curiously. Erbao knew he couldn't go, so he started to put forward conditions. Finally, Chen Jianguo agreed, "Okay, I will definitely buy it back for you."
Erbao then let the people go. After they left, Niu Niu closed the iron gate and locked it from the inside. These were the three children taught by Su Xia and Chen Jianguo.
In the county town, the main gate must be closed tightly when entering and exiting, and it must be locked from the inside.
During this period, spies stole children and bandits, and no one knew where they would appear from.
Niuniu took Erbao with her and said, "Come on, sister will take you to find mom."
Erbao nodded, "Yeah!" Xiaoxiao was holding the slightly older Xiaoxiao. From the back, their shadows on the ground were one big and one small.
Su Xia saw Niuniu Erbao and was not surprised. "Niuniu, go back and rest first. I'm boiling water and you can take a bath later."
Niuniu nodded and said, "Then Mom, let's go. I still have some books to read!"
After Niu Niu left, Erbao hugged Su Xia's neck and sat on the sofa. After a while, he nodded his head, and Su Xia didn't dare to move.
Sure enough, after a while, Erbao's head rested in Su Xia's arms until his breathing became long. Then Su Xia picked up Erbao, took him to his bedroom, and put him on the kang.
Take off your shoes, outer clothes and pants, cover yourself with a thin blanket, and go out quietly.
After coming out, Su Xia didn't rest. She took a shower first and soaked for 15 minutes before coming out to wash her waist-length hair.
I was all sticky from cleaning the room, but now I feel much better.
Su Xia wrapped her hair with a towel and changed into a skirt. Now she felt that living in the county town still had its advantages. At least she could wear a skirt casually.
Walking outside the bathroom, Su Xia saw a wooden plug along the corner of the wall. She pulled it out directly and a stream of water flowed out.
It flows eastwards along a specially dug ditch, and eventually to the base of the wall, where some of it has seeped in.
Su Xia chuckled, feeling lucky that she came over in the middle and designed an outlet to save the trouble of pouring water.
After the water had run out, 꺗 put the stopper back in, and Su Xia continued to pour water, added cold water, and then went to call Niuniu.
"Niuniu is taking a shower, bring some clean clothes."
Niuniu agreed in the house, "I know, Mom!"
After Su Xia finished shouting, she went to check on Erbao, who was still sleeping soundly.
Take the clothes you changed into, go to the well, wash them with your own clothes in a few seconds, and hang them out to dry.
As for Niu Niu, she had started washing by herself a long time ago. Su Xia never blamed her for this. After she turned ten, Niu Niu washed her own clothes, including her underwear and socks.
Apart from the sheets and quilt covers, Su Xia and Chen Jianguo helped with the cotton-padded clothes, and the same goes for the eldest and second babies.
The second baby following behind his biological father, and the second baby who was sleeping, had no idea that their mother was going to let them wash their own clothes after they turned ten.
Because people nowadays still believe that men should work outside and women should work inside, boys don’t have the concept of doing housework.
As for Chen Jianguo, he is a special case. To put it bluntly, he was trained by Su Xia. Now he is even more skillful than Su Xia in doing housework.
Chen's parents and the old house were shocked at first, then they refused to accept it, and finally it became a habit.
놙땣 said that everything starts from the beginning and then you adapt to it and become accustomed to it.
Su Xia - no matter if it sucks monsters, I have to do it, if I don't do it, hum -
