Chapter 142 Are you really not going to be my stepmother?
There was the sound of firewood burning in the kitchen and the sound of Lang Lang reading in the house. As usual, Jiang Wen was regarded as the teacher and a group of Lin family members were students. They all shook their heads and followed Jiang Wen seriously.
Learn word for word.
Although Wangcai is a slave, as Shangguan Zixuan's personal servant, he can also read. The two of them nestled in the corner. Shangguan Zixuan soon became impatient. He had passed the exam as a child. This enlightening book was very useful to him now.
It's like a lullaby to me. The more I listen to it, the more I fall asleep.
After another day of hard work today, the two of them were so tired that their bodies were sore and limp. Now that they were leaning against each other, they actually began to snore.
"That's it for today. Let's go to bed early. If we work for another half day tomorrow, we can finish harvesting the rice at home." As soon as Jiang Yan finished speaking, the two daughters-in-law were immediately relieved and ran to the kitchen to boil water and wash themselves.
Also liberated was Lin Xi. His frown that could kill a fly finally disappeared, and he happily carried a bucket to the well to collect water. The three of them who disliked studying the most in the Lin family, every night when they study
It's like being tortured, sitting like acupuncture, and the face is full of pain.
In a daze, Wangcai hugged the young master's clothes and said in a hoarse voice: "Aunt Jiang, where will my young master sleep today?"
Jiang Yan pointed to the room and said: "There is no extra room in the house. My second and third sons will squeeze in, and you and the little fat guy will squeeze in."
Hearing this, Wangcai suddenly woke up and said in surprise: "Young Master and I sleep in the same room? That's not possible."
Jiang Yan immediately laughed, looking at his flustered appearance, she smiled and said, "You're overthinking it. You four sleep in a room with two beds."
Ah! Four people in one room!
Wangcai was even more frightened. When had his young master ever slept in the same bed with anyone else, let alone four people in a room?
Before he could say anything, the little fat man walked over in confusion, rubbing his sleepy eyes, looking at Jiang Yan, and shouted in a soft voice: "Auntie, I want to take a bath and use your soap to wash the fragrance.
"
Wangcai immediately took his place: "Master, just wait, Wangcai will boil water for you right now." After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yan: "Aunt Jiang, where is the wooden bucket for bathing at your home? Where is the water? I
Now go prepare it for my young master."
Jiang Yan:......
"Without a wooden barrel, there's no way to take a bath. The kitchen is heating water. You can follow Lin Xi to fetch water." Jiang Yan pointed to Xiaodouzi, who was sitting naked in the wooden basin: "Wait a minute, little one."
After washing the beans, you can add water to the wooden basin for your young master to use."
!!
Shangguan Zixuan pointed at Xiaodouzi blankly, his blurred eyes suddenly became alert, and he shouted in an unbelievable voice: "Auntie, I can't do it, I'm naked, and I can't sit in that little basin!"
Jiang Yan looked at him speechlessly, this kid really had something wrong with his brain.
"There is no bathtub at home, and the village is not as comfortable as your home. If you want to take a bath, just take a basin of water and wipe it." Taking a bath, she has not taken a bath for so long since she came here.
Wangcai smacked his lips, but couldn't say what he wanted to say. He looked at the thatched hut and thought it would be nice to have some hot water to wipe himself with.
"Go and wash up and sleep. You have been busy all day today. I will ask someone to take you back tomorrow morning." Jiang Yan said. After this day, she guessed that the precious young master must have had enough fun.
Wangcai also fell a few times today and still had some bruises on his knees. He limped and took the wooden basin that Xiaodouzi had used and went to the kitchen to make hot water for his young master.
Shangguan Zixuan scratched the mosquito bag on his body and murmured: "Okay..."
In the small yard, everyone was busy with their own things. The young master squatted on the ground, holding his chubby chin, watching everyone carrying water and lighting the fire, even the youngest Xiaodouzi.
They were all feeding the chickens and ducks in the chicken coop. The darkening sky, the busy figures of everyone, and the sounds of laughter made him unconsciously purse his lips and smile.
"Why are you giggling? Go take a shower quickly, Wangcai has mixed the water for you." Lin Bei came over with a new piece of soap: "Mother asked me to give this to you."
The little fat man took the soap and smiled sweetly at Lin Bei. He was closer, and under the light of the lights, the pair of small pear dimples were particularly conspicuous. Lin Bei blushed and walked away muttering.
After taking a bath, the young master put on the new clothes he had brought. Jiang Yan walked into the house and looked at the little fat man scratching here and there. She took out the ointment and motioned for him to stretch out his hand.
"Where's Wongcai?"
Shangguan Zixuan bared his white teeth, which was particularly obvious in the dim room: "I'm taking a bath outside, Auntie, what is this?"
Jiang Yan originally wanted to throw the ointment to him and let him apply it himself, but the young master struggled for a long time and couldn't even open a wooden box. He looked at the obvious scratches on the fat face and the pair of crystals.
With bright eyes and a soft heart, she applied it to him carefully.
Shangguan Zixuan smelled the ointment. The scent of the ointment was very light and cool. His already hot and sweaty body suddenly felt much cooler. He leaned lazily on the bedside and stared at Jiang carefully in the faint skylight.
Auntie, in a trance, I seemed to see my mother when I was a child.
"This is an ointment for scratches, and this is a wind oil essence. It can be used on mosquito bites. Just rub it wherever it itches. But don't scratch it with your nails. There will be a lot of cuts." Jiang
Yan taught him to tell the difference while talking. The young master's skin was very tender, and the little red envelopes bitten by mosquitoes would break when scratched. They were nothing when you looked at them during the day, but now they are all broken.
Mosquitoes at home usually don't bite you very much, but the mosquitoes in the mountains are different. Mosquitoes in the mountains are all patterned, as if they were wearing leopard print coats. The bites are very fierce, itchy and painful, and the mosquito bites are worse than ordinary ones.
It's so big, it's no wonder that the young master couldn't help scratching his skin.
Jiang Yan gently patted the little fat man's chubby face and said with a smile: "Why are you so dazed? Did you listen to what I said?"
After coming back to his senses, Shangguan Zixuan's eyes were reddish and his mood was complicated. He said hoarsely with some choking: "Aunt Jiang, are you really not willing to be my stepmother? I know everything today. You don't have a husband at all. You are a
widow!"
"I'll teach you how to use the medicine. If you don't listen well, you'll think about making me your father's concubine."
"You don't need to be a concubine. My mother is dead. If you become my father's wife, I can be your son."
Jiang Yan stared at him speechlessly. This was the first time she saw someone so eager to become someone else's son.
"Okay, stop talking so much, go to bed early." Jiang Yan helped him go to bed. Shangguan Zixuan could only stare at her blankly, sighing with a sad look on his fat face. He was too tired today, and his arms and legs were too tired.
I was so sore that I really didn't have the energy to do anything, so I could only curl up on the bed in silence.
After Wangcai came in, Jiang Yan handed him a bottle of ointment and told him to apply it before going out. Wangcai took it with tears of gratitude, put on his clothes and lay carefully at Shangguan Zixuan's feet, not daring to move. The young master had already
He was fast asleep, and he relaxed his body in a daze and was about to fall asleep. The two Lin brothers in the other bed across a curtain suddenly started snoring.
One after another, the two brothers seemed to be having a conversation. Wangcai, who was originally too sleepy to open his eyes, could no longer sleep at all.
