Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 52 Peach, thank you.
Add the crushed cinnamon powder and ground plant ash to the honey in small amounts in batches.
Lin Tao whispered: "This is called toothpaste."
"Toothpaste?" Xiao Liqian asked in confusion, and Xiao Linglan tilted her head to look at her cutely.
"Toothpaste is just for brushing your teeth! We will use it together later." To be precise, it should be used by the whole family together.
These days, Lin Tao has been influenced by the taste of her family.
"Is it medicine?" Xiao Liqian has a unique obsession with medicine.
"That's right! Cinnamon has a very good antibacterial and sterilizing effect, and coupled with plant ash which has a very good cleaning function, it can make our teeth healthier and suppress the strange taste in the mouth."
Xiao Liqian nodded, and Lin Tao saw that his little hands kept moving, and knew that this boy was reciting what he said.
Over there, potassium salt has also been prepared.
Lin Tao stood up and asked Li San to bring the smelly yellow thorn.
After rolling up her sleeves and adding a small amount of water, Lin Tao began to rub the smelly yellow thorn in the basin.
If too much water is added here, the condensed finished product will be too tender.
Keep rubbing like this until only the veins of the leaves are left. The more rotten the leaves, the better!
It's just the smell during the process that makes everyone feel uncomfortable.
"Gray water from vegetation."
Taking the bowl, Lin Tao used a cloth bag to filter the plant ash.
Then stir quickly to fully and evenly mix the plant ash water and the green and smelly yellow thorn juice.
"Okay, put out the fire, let's go to bed."
"This, is this enough?" Li Yi asked, frowning.
"Otherwise?" Lin Tao glanced at him.
Li Er pulled his eldest brother aside and covered his mouth tightly.
Li Si cooperated and blocked everyone's sight: "Okay, okay, mother said to go to bed early, everyone has taken a shower and gone to bed early. We will leave for the town in the middle of the night, right mother?"
Lin Tao nodded.
"From now on, you two elders will stop running up and down the mountain all the time. Just stay here." It's really nice to have my elders help with cooking these two days.
The two old men stood there in shock, as if they didn't react.
Li Si was dissatisfied and said: "What? Mom! Where do you want me to live?"
The eldest brother and the second brother are both married, so naturally it is impossible to live in their house.
He thought with the back of his feet, feeling that one more person would be sleeping on his already small kang!
"Grandpa will sleep in your room, and grandma will live with me in the main room first. After these two days are busy, we will build another room in the courtyard."
"Really, do you really want us to come back and live here?" the old lady asked happily and in disbelief.
Lin Tao nodded.
The old lady threw herself into the old man's arms and began to cry.
"Okay, okay. When I come back from town tomorrow, I will lead the cow up and get your things back. The wooden house at the foot of the mountain is in disrepair. When the rainy season comes, it may not be able to hold it. It's safe to live back here. some."
The second elder was so speechless that he just nodded happily.
The crowd dispersed.
While washing, Lin Tao took out the toothpaste and dispensed an appropriate amount according to each head.
Everyone looked at the contents of the bowl stupidly.
Dried plum blossoms were the first to be tried, and the branches were split into pieces and put into the mouth.
"So sweet."
The little guy didn't even want to vomit and ate it directly!!
Brush every part of the teeth carefully, revealing the white teeth with yellow background.
"Wow! So comfortable."
Lin Tao didn't know whether he felt so comfortable because of the honey he had eaten or because his teeth felt so comfortable after brushing them.
Over there, Xiao Linglan, that little follower, was just like Li Qian, unwilling to vomit, so she was picked up and eaten.
Lin Tao quickly said to the others: "After brushing your teeth, you'd better throw up."
After all, the food residue in the gaps between the teeth and swallowed into the spit is a bit hard to explain.
The fourth child took it and put it in his mouth and asked, "Mom! What's so sweet in this?"
"Honey!" Xiao Liqian said.
"Honey! Of course you can't spit it out! It's such an expensive thing! What a pity it would be to spit it out!" There was a gurgle and it was swallowed.
Those three silly boys were just like children... Lin Tao's eyes twitched when she saw them.
Forget it, let them do whatever they want! It doesn't matter if they eat it anyway.
***
In the hall.
The first time she slept on the same bed as the old lady, Lin Tao not only felt awkward, but also extremely awkward.
He unfolded the cloth and put it over the old lady. The old lady suddenly bounced away as if she had been electrocuted.
"No, it's okay, I don't need to cover it."
"It's getting cold."
Don't say much, just cover her body.
Not long after Lin Tao fell asleep, she heard the old lady calling her.
"Taozi, are you asleep?" The voice was very small.
"Nope."
The room suddenly became quiet again.
The old lady called her but didn't speak for a long time, so Lin Tao had to guess, what was the old lady going to do?
Are you ready to kill her quietly?
Unexpectedly, the old lady's voice sounded again.
"Taozi, thank you."
"There's nothing to be thankful for. Isn't this old house so dilapidated that it's about to collapse?"
When she went up the mountain today, she deliberately passed by the old house and saw that it was indeed no longer habitable.
"No! What I want to thank you for is not only for letting us live back here, but also for mother forcing you to stay in this home and take care of the children all these years. It was mother who was too selfish, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered so much. "
"sorry."
Lin Tao shook her head. Facing the old lady who apologized so seriously, she almost blurted out the truth.
It wasn't her who suffered, that one had already given up and left.
"It's okay, mother! The child doesn't belong to him alone! I am the mother, and I have to take care of him after he is born! If it were you, you couldn't just leave the child alone, right?"
"If I want to say I'm sorry, it's because I can't forgive you two. If I hadn't forced him to go up, I wouldn't have left you without a son. I'm sorry."
These words came from the memory of the original owner.
Lin Tao didn't know why, but the original owner clearly thought so, but never told the old couple.
As a result, the three of them have harbored a lot of grievances over the years, both covertly and overtly.
"Thank you, thank you, Taozi. Thank you." The old lady's voice suddenly became choker again.
Lin Tao turned around and patted the old lady on the back.
"This home is ours. Our life is even more ours. From now on, we will work hard together to live a good life."
Unable to empathize with her, Lin Tao could not say anything comforting.
But facing the old man who lost his son, Lin Tao still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Yeah! Let's have a good time together."
***
Just like before, Lin Taozi got up at three o'clock.
The corners of the old lady's mouth raised slightly, as if she was dreaming about her son.
After covering the old lady with a cloth, Lin Tao stepped onto the bed lightly.
In the yard, Mrs. Zhu and Ms. Xu had already gotten up.
Because the roof at home has not yet been patched up, her four sons have to continue patching up the roof at home.
Before brushing her teeth, Lin Tao glanced at the big wooden basin in the stove shed and thought, done!
Xu's voice suddenly sounded beside her: "Damn it, why did it become like this?"
