Wang Po's house is at the foot of the mountain. There is a well in the backyard. She usually uses well water to wash things, which is much more convenient than other families who don't have well water.
Zhu Hongan was still a child. He could take off his clothes by the well and take a good bath. It was very cool and comfortable to take a bath with well water on such a hot day. The little guy stretched out his arms obediently and let Su Liuer wash him clean, and then changed into clean clothes given by Wang Po.
People in the small village don’t pay much attention to their clothes. There is not much difference between boys’ and girls’ clothes, except that this dress is pink.
Zhu Hongan touched the pink clothes on his body with a conflicted look on his face, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Su Liuer squatted down and asked him, "Don't you like this color, Hongan?"
Zhu Hongan shook his head, nodded, and shook his head again.
"Mom, okay, look." He pulled his sleeves and gestured on Su Liuer's body, still speaking word by word.
"You like this color because you think it would look good on me, but you don't like it because it doesn't look good on you?"
Zhu Hongan nodded seriously. He had never seen a boy wearing clothes of this color.
Three-year-old children do not have a clear awareness of gender differences, but they still know that boys and girls are different in some ways, so as a boy, Zhu Hongan would feel that it is a bit strange for him to wear pink clothes.
Su Liuer has no experience in raising children, but she has led many soldiers. Since it's a boy, she should use the same method to raise him as she did for soldiers. That should be fine, right?
"Hong'an, mother will give you the best of everything within the scope of conditions. This pink dress is the best right now, do you understand?" Now that the mother and son are extremely poor, it is not the time to care about the style and color of clothes. It is good enough to have something to wear.
Su Liuer looked serious but spoke in a gentle tone. She said that she would lead her son like a soldier, but after all, her own son was only three years old.
Zhu Hongan did not nod immediately, but thought about it seriously before nodding to Su Liuer. Su Liuer took it as that he understood.
"Okay, go play with Grandma Wang first."
"Yeah." Zhu Hongan obediently went into the house and went to the front yard to find Wang Pozi.
Su Liuer first washed and dried her hair by the well, then tied it up behind her head. Then she carried several buckets of water back and forth into the house to clean herself up.
After the window was closed, the room became extremely stuffy. Su Liuer got up to open the window, thinking to herself, how nice it would be to have a popsicle to eat in such a hot day!
"Hmm?" Su Liuer, who had just walked to the window, suddenly felt a heat in her chest.
She lowered her head and took out the still hot wooden pendant from her clothes. The pendant was not big, only the size of a finger joint, and looked like a key. It was pitch black. She had just thought it was dirty and scrubbed it hard, but it hadn't changed at all. It was still hot and there was no change on the surface.
Su Liuer rubbed her fingers on the wooden pendant. How about taking a knife and splitting it open to see?
"Why are you so rude?!" An accusing question rang in Su Liuer's ears, and then a brilliant and colorful light flashed before her eyes.
The light disappeared in an instant, and Su Liuer blinked, and she was no longer in the room!
Su Liuer's first reaction was to pinch herself hard. The pain made her conscious, but the severe pain did not change anything in her eyes.
"You even pinched yourself? What a cruel person you are!" The voice just now rang in my ears again, and it seemed very shocked and sighed.
Su Liuer looked around, but couldn't see anyone in the thick fog.
"Hehe, are you feeling panicked because you can't see anything?" The voice began to show off, and Su Liuer's eyes became cold.
