"Ah?" Sun Xiangqian didn't know what he should do and looked confused.
After dinner, Lu Qingyang took out a pair of scissors.
"The best solution is to shave all your hair off."
Sun Xiangqian covered his head and began to cry, "No, is this the only way? I don't want to be bald, it's too ugly."
Lu Qingyang stopped what he was doing and said, "There is another way, but you need to persist."
He knew a herbal formula that if you washed twice a day with water boiled with herbs for five days, it should be able to get rid of lice.
He needs dandelions, angelica sinensis, cork, and wild chrysanthemum. Where can he find these things?
Sun Xiangqian came up with an idea and said, "As long as you don't shave my head, I'll accept anything."
Lu Qingyang asked Zhou Jianshe, "Do you know where to find a barefoot doctor here?"
Zhou Jianshe shook his head. "Destroy the Four Olds? How would I know? Even if there is, it can't be too ostentatious. But the villagers should know."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go ask later. Xiang Qian, you go back first. There's nothing we can do about the snow these days. When the weather clears up, you should put all your clothes and bedding out in the sun!"
It just so happened that he needed some medicine and cough medicine.
After that, Lu Qingyang threw him a bottle of white wine.
"What are you doing here? Are you buying me a drink?"
"After you washed your hair recently, you soaked a woolen cloth in alcohol and wrapped it around your head for half an hour."
"Isn't this too much of a waste?" Sun Xiangqian was reluctant to drink it, and thought it would be better to drink it secretly.
Lu Qingyang seemed to see through his thoughts, "Don't drink secretly, this is related to whether you can get rid of the lice on your head."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"
Before leaving, Zhou Jianshe reminded him, "By the way, Qingyang, tomorrow the Youth Academy will organize a pickling party together. You're not here today, so I'll let you know."
"Okay, I got it."
"Luckily the cabbage was exposed to the sun today. Look, it snowed tonight. We can pickle it tomorrow."
Just as Zhou Jianshe and Sun Xiangqian took a step forward, Shen Mo came over dragging a big bag of cabbage and green onions.
"Here, I'll give it to you. If you don't pick them, they will freeze to death in the ground."
Lu Qingyang nodded and thought: "That's fine. The Youth Academy will also pickle cabbage tomorrow."
녦놆How is he going to preserve so many green onions?
The space here is not a long-term storage space, and the vegetables and food will rot just like outside.
Lu Qingyang suddenly remembered that there was a cellar here, and that was how people in Northeast China stored their vegetables.
But the cellar of this house has not been used for a long time and needs some time to be cleaned up.
Shen Mo sniffed the smell in the room, "It smells good."
"You dog nose! I've left you a portion too. Eat it here. I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."
With the temptation of grilled fish, Shen Mo no longer wanted to care about anything else. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Lu Qingyang went to the cowshed at night. Fortunately, it was repaired before the snow fell, and it was reinforced a bit, so it should be fine to survive the winter.
He knocked on the door of the cowshed. Zhang Zhongwen opened the door with his back hunched, and saw that the person who came was Lu Qingyang.
"Why are you here? It's so busy outside. Come in quickly."
It was actually quite cold in the cowshed, and the space for two people was pitifully small.
Lu Qingyang gave them a bag of cornmeal and something else, and said softly, "Hide the food and don't let anyone find out."
Then he rubbed his hands and left the bullpen immediately.
Zhang Zhongwen wanted to refuse, but the other party had already disappeared in the snow.
In addition to a bag of cornmeal, I opened another bag and found some cold-resistant clothes and a hot water bottle.
Considering that wearing new clothes would be too conspicuous, we brought them cotton-padded clothes to wear underneath.
Zhang Zhongwen felt his nose ache, and Wei Yuxiu came over to take a look, and was also moved beyond words.
But I couldn't help wondering: "Why is this educated youth so nice to us?"
"He said we reminded him of his brother and sister-in-law."
Zhang Zhongwen sighed. When you are in glory, others treat you well, but you hope to take advantage of them and gain some benefits.
Now that they are in such a desperate situation, Lu Qingyang is still so kind to them. I really don't know what he is trying to do.
"Don't think too much, maybe he will be kinder." Wei Yuxiu touched the fabric. It had been a long time since she last wore new clothes.
"Yes, you are right. They are living a good life and they came here in the snow and wind. We have no money and no power. If we contact us, people may be suspicious."
…
After Lu Qingyang came back, he patted the snow off his body.
But less than a month later, winter had already arrived.
He just went out and found that the snow on the ground was no longer above his feet.
He took off his hat and saw that Shen Mo had already cleared out the remaining food in the pot, with sauce still on the corners of her mouth.
He couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to wipe the dirt from the corner of her mouth.
Shen Mo did not dodge this time, but just showed a satisfied smile after eating.
Lu Qingyang suddenly felt like a beast. She was just a little girl, why did she have such strange thoughts?
He threw a piece of wool to her: "Wipe it clean yourself."
Looking at Lu Qingyang, Shen Mo suddenly remembered what her grandma said before: "Lu Qingyang, grandma said that men are fickle, but I never understood what this meant."
"This..." Lu Qingyang couldn't help but stroke his forehead, "I don't know how to explain it."
"Let me give you an example. For example, do you like grilled fish?"
Shen Mo nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, "I like it."
"So do you like ribs?"
“I like it, too.”
"So you can only choose one?"
Shen Mo hesitated, then suddenly her eyes lit up: "I can eat both! I want both!"
Lu Qingyang patted her head gently and said, "You can only choose one, or you can have neither."
"No, I like to eat them all. I can't make a choice." Shen Mo frowned slightly, looking embarrassed.
"Look, you want both ribs and grilled fish, isn't that a sign of change of opinion?"
"No, no." Although Shen Mo was innocent, she still felt something was wrong. "Food is edible, but people are different."
"But, just relax, Lu Qingyang, I'm not surprised. I like you, and I'm different from others!"
She added: "You cook delicious food!"
Looking at her innocent smile, Lu Qingyang knew that she didn't understand its meaning yet.
When she says she likes something, I'm afraid she just likes it in the same way that she likes food.
Lu Qingyang felt he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't take it seriously. "Okay, okay, I know you don't mind changing your mind."
But Shen Mo's questioning was obviously not over yet: "Then, Lu Qingyang, do you know what it means to be attracted by beauty?"
