Chapter 477
Fortunately, when I returned home, the guests in the yard had left, and the only ones left in the yard were a few familiar families.
At this moment, Lu Ming cheered and went to greet the elders one by one, and received a bunch of small gifts.
Small gold bracelets, small toys, etc. are beautiful and exquisite to please the little girl.
Wu Mu consciously followed behind to help hold the gifts, and called people along with Lu Ming.
No matter what the deer calls, he calls people accordingly. When meeting for the first time, he impressed several elders who were very well-behaved.
He followed along and helped Lu Ming carry all the gifts back to the house.
Zhao Yicha also received a circle of gifts. He happily found a large wooden box and packed all the gifts for himself and Lu Ming.
Their current house was previously empty and had no decorations. The only things they could store their things in were a table and a wardrobe. The big box was still placed casually on the open space next to the bed.
Wu Mu looked around and frowned, thinking it was too crude.
A little girl's room is a place where they can be happy only if they are dressed up beautifully.
But seeing how Lu Ming and Zhao Yicha didn't care at all, when they lived in the village anyway, they hardly stayed in the room except for sleeping, so just pick up the leaks as long as they don't hinder your stay.
"What kind of house does Lu Ming like?"
Wu Mu asked.
When he just received the gift, he didn't look at it carefully. At this moment, Lu Ming was still happily looking at everything carefully and putting it in the box. Suddenly Wu Mu asked a question without knowing anything.
"Ok?"
"You like it to be warm in winter and cool in summer."
"It won't be too hot if the wind blows in in the summer, but it'll be nice to have a fire and stay warm under the quilt in the winter."
Wu Mu noted it down and then asked, "What else?"
Lu Ming thought for a while, "It's very difficult to be like this now."
it is good. "
Now Lu Ming has lived in many houses, including houses in Lin'an City, houses in Beijing, and the houses of several good friends.
Some are gorgeously decorated, some are clean and tidy, and some are warm and fragrant.
But really speaking, she still likes her house in Lihua Village the most.
I really slept peacefully last night.
Lu Ming suddenly thought that a golden nest and a silver nest were not as good as his own doghouse.
Successfully made myself laugh.
My home is so clean and tidy that it can’t be considered a doghouse.
Without asking anything specific, Lu Ming suddenly smiled happily. Wu Mu scratched his head and was infected by Lu Ming's smile, and started laughing too.
There were many people today, and tables were still set up in the yard. Niu Jiahe brought his own tables and chairs, and the yard was full of people. It was just as lively as the banquet at home before.
The children were still full early and ready to have fun.
When moving the table, Wu Mu went to Niu's house to take a look and found that there was no well in his house.
Wu Mu was still curious, "If your family doesn't have a well, what should you do with water?"
Niu Yishan smiled and said: "We are close to a mountain. There is a small stream on the mountain that can be brought down with bamboo tubes. It is enough for cooking and drinking."
“If you want to do laundry, you can go to the small pond in the village or fetch water from the well in the village.”
As he spoke, he took Wu Mu to see the stream he had drawn.
The bamboo tubes, one after another, lead the stream down from the mountain, and finally flow into the large water tank at the back door of the kitchen.
It was a trickle, but the amount of water was not large, but it continued to fill the water tank. The water in the water tank was almost full.
"I didn't cook at my house today. I put it in the water tank
The water is useless. "
"Usually when cooking and boiling water, the water in the water tank is usually kept at more than half of the tank."
Wu Mu looked along the bamboo tube. The long bamboo joints extended into the mountains and forests, and the source could not be seen.
"Is this the case with other families?"
Niu Yishan explained, "Very few."
"It needs to be close to the mountain side. There are only four or five houses in the village that can use it like this."
“Very few people have wells at home, and a big well costs a lot of money.”
“The village has to cross two rivers, so we don’t have to worry about the lack of water at all.”
"There are several places to wash clothes, including riverside and large ponds."
"If you want drinking water, there is a well in the village that we share, so it is convenient to get water."
Wu Mu was very curious when he heard it, "I want to take a look."
When you are full and have nothing to do, you can just go out for a walk.
There are two rivers passing through Lihua Village. Every house is close to the river, so it is most convenient to do laundry.
It's lunch time now, and no one is washing clothes by the river.
There are several flat stone platforms along the river, and there are stone steps going down the path.
There are large and small stone platforms, and some stone platforms are carved with stones to look like washboards.
"Some of these small ones were built by people who live nearby."
“It’s convenient for fishing and laundry.”
There are two small fishing boats tied next to it, dangling on the water.
Wu Mu jumped onto the fishing boat when no one was paying attention. The boat immediately started to shake. There was still wet water on the wooden planks, making it slippery. Wu Mu slipped and almost fell down.
Fortunately, I grabbed a pole to steady myself.
I was so frightened that I didn't pay attention. Now that I calmed down, I felt that there was a strong fishy smell on the boat.
"It smells so bad."
"Ah Mu
! ”
Wu Yang was startled, "Come up quickly."
Wu Mu pouted. He thought it would be fun, but he almost fell down. The smell was not good.
Being carried ashore by his brother, Wu Mu felt that he was smelling of fish.
I have also ridden on this kind of boat when cruising the lake, and it is always delicious.
Wu Yang looked at his younger brother's expression, which was a bit bleak, and it shocked him.
"How can this person get on someone else's fishing boat at will?"
Wu Mu spread his palms to show Wu Mu, "Brother, my hands are dirty and smelly."
Wu Yang took his younger brother to the water and washed his hands.
"This smells like fish. This is someone's fishing boat. You should treat it like a boat for you to go to the lake, and give it some incense."
Wu Mu curled his lips again and tilted his head to look at the fishing boat.
There are also fishing nets piled on top, with some aquatic plants and fish scales hanging on the fishing nets.
"I haven't seen fishing yet."
Wu Yang has seen him a few times in Lihua Village for a year.
"You need to get up early to fish. The nets will be collected at dawn. You must take them to the town to sell them as early as possible."
"So early."
Wu Mu took a rest and thought. It was still cold now, so it still took some courage to leave the bed and get up.
We walked around along the river and then walked along the road towards the village.
As a group of them, when passing by other houses, if there is a dog at home, the dog will come out to see them.
The smell was already familiar. It was from the village. He didn't bark, and he wagged his tail in a circle at them, as if to welcome them.
There were a few people who had eaten early, and the courtyard door was open. When they saw the group of people, they smiled and asked if they had eaten.
"Why are you asking us if we have eaten?"
"They care about this?"
Wu Mu asked this question after passing several houses.
"This
It's a way of saying hello. "
"Having enough food is the most important thing for our farm family."
Lu Ming explained to him with a smile.
This time, these aunts and mothers-in-law asked questions without stopping them.
This morning, I have asked everything that needs to be asked. Even if you want to ask about something, you are not embarrassed now.
It's not that they don't want to embarrass the children. Although Mr. Chen is not here, Wuyang and the others recognize him.
I had vaguely heard speculation about his identity, and I didn't dare to provoke him casually.
There are also several young men from the Yang family. It is said that they are the children of the general's family, so the people in the village naturally keep them at a distance.
