Li Haitang didn't want to take advantage of others, if he could trade money and goods, why should he owe others favors? What's more, they met by chance and didn't know each other well.
She would not let it go if she just used other people's firewood, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. The town is not like the village. These firewood are bought from woodcutters for money.
"Oh, in a few days, the restaurant will change hands, and I don't want all the things in it."
The woman sighed, it was originally a restaurant opened by their husband and wife, but last month, her husband died unexpectedly, there was no chef in the restaurant, their orphans and widows, and their property was useless, so they could only sell it at a low price. So I can take my son back home.
The mother and son only have two small burdens, so naturally they will not take away some dishes, chopsticks and firewood.
"Just use it, don't worry about it, you can't buy it cheaply anyway."
After the woman finished speaking, she removed the door panel and let the carriage go to the backyard. She is a newly widowed woman, and it is difficult to talk to others, so she is about to get up and leave.
The restaurant in the left and right front yards and the two rooms in the back yard didn't have any valuables. She had prepared everything that needed to be moved and cleaned up.
Since the other party was so frank, Li Haitang thanked him, and then began to look at the food on the carriage, and handed it to Nanny Yu and Wu Fu. She thought about making more, and later it was time for the meal, and asked the maid to bring some food to the woman, as an expression of gratitude.
Just after noon, the sun was like a fire, and the temperature of the ground was hot to the touch. It is estimated that an egg can be boiled immediately if you put an egg on it.
There is a tall poplar tree with luxuriant branches and leaves on one side of the small courtyard, and there is a shaded area under the poplar tree. Ginkgo moved the tables, chairs and benches, and served some herbal tea to relieve the heat.
Li Haitang shook the small ball fan and fanned the bean buns. Seeing the little buns approaching her with a face full of enjoyment, he immediately smiled and said, "You are a rich man. Look at your mother, I am still serving you eagerly."
It gets hotter as you go south, especially inside the carriage. Even with the windows on both sides open, it is still not very ventilated. The cushions are made of ice silk, and you have to change them every two or three hours, otherwise it will be the same as sitting in the carriage. The stove is average, it is suffering.
There are not many towns passing by along the way, and the ice basin is a rare item. If you buy an ice basin, you can only get a moment of coolness.
Doubao was wearing pure cotton and soft underwear, and there was a layer of red spots on her neck. Li Haitang took a closer look and found that it was prickly heat.
The prickly heat was very itchy, and the little hand of the bean bag was about to grab it. Seeing this, Li Haitang hurriedly stopped it.
Under the courtyard wall facing the sun, several large water basins have been placed, and the water has been warmed by the sun. Li Haitang still remembers that when he was in Lijia Village, people in the village used to bask in the water like this. After busy farming, they would wash with warm water to refresh themselves and save firewood.
She scooped up a basin of water with a basin, and then took a pure white cloth towel to wipe Xiaodoubao's body.
Doubao was so excited immediately, pointing to the big water basin, "Yes, yes!"
Children in ordinary families are afraid of water. For example, the fat boy from Lan Yi’s family, every time he takes a bath, it’s like going to the execution ground, crying for his father and mother. Taking a bath together, the two brothers met each other naked and played with water in the big tub together.
When Doubao saw the wooden basin, he was terrified. He struggled to take off his crotch pants, held on to the edge of the wooden basin, and climbed in by himself.
Splashing, water splashing, Doubao babbling excitedly.
"Daddy, tell a story!"
"Mother, fan!"
Xiaodoubao knew how to keep himself from being submerged, so he leaned against the side of the basin as much as possible, and then took a half-lying position, kicking his calves in the basin, and the water splashed everywhere.
"What fan?"
Li Haitang was stunned, unable to react for a while.
She suddenly remembered that she had been traveling for the past two days, and she hadn't bathed the bean buns. She usually just scrubbed them, and the little buns who were over one year old knew they were clean.
"Cool cool!"
Doubao made a gesture, which meant to ask his mother to come over and fan him with a small ball fan, while his father would tell him stories.
Xiao Lingchuan: ...
Li Haitang: ...
The two were speechless, looking at each other, thinking in their hearts, a one-year-old child enjoys it so much, who taught it?
Xiao Lingchuan's eyes darkened, it couldn't be him, so he suspected that his wife was too spoiled when he was not around.
After all, there are maids and mothers-in-law, and these jobs are usually done by servants.
"not me."
The couple almost spoke in unison, and then fell silent. Li Haitang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She knew it was definitely not her savage husband, Xiao Lingchuan always had a straight face when he saw everyone, and the little baby would cry when he saw him, and it was rare that Dou Bao was not afraid of him, and even rode a big horse even under pressure.
After Li Haitang paid homage to old man He as his master, he devoted himself to the study of medical skills, especially when the master gave her a handbook, which was almost a lifetime of experience and summed up some prescriptions, which were extremely precious. It can be said that as a doctor, he all the painstaking efforts.
Li Haitang deserves to be ashamed, which is why she tolerated He Baozhu.
"I want my sister."
Xiaodoubao doesn't come over when he sees his parents, he has a flat mouth, the dog next door has a younger sister, Huniu, and he doesn't have a younger sister, who will direct him in the future?
Doubao was very sad and shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Doubao, why are you so persistent in wanting a little sister, can a younger brother do it?"
Li Haitang couldn't understand the thoughts of the one-year-old baby at all, so she asked carefully, hoping to communicate with her son.
Of course, she couldn't stop her hands. It was very hot, and she had to create some cool breeze.
"also."
Thinking of the fat boy from Lanyi's family, Doubao frowned. Although he was a little stupid, it was good to have someone to play with, at least he was obedient.
Doubao didn't express it very clearly, but Xiao Lingchuan and his wife still understood.
"You're so young, you're going to be the Overlord?"
Li Haitang raised his eyebrows, otherwise, let Doubao succeed Yu Feiling and become the leader of the Plum Blossom Sect.
To deceive his son, Li Haitang spared no effort.
Xiao Lingchuan took out the pamphlet that he carried with him, he can't tell stories, but it's okay to read it.
It's just that Mammy cooked the meal and brought it out with Wufu, and saw Bai Guo, who is a maid, sitting on the side drinking tea and eating melon seeds, while the host and his wife circled around the little buns.
To bathe the bean buns, he was not honest, he insisted on gesticulating a few boxing techniques taught by Xiao Lingchuan, making water all over the ground.
I can't control it when I'm over a year old, and I'm still a bear when I grow up.
"Ma'am, it's time to eat!"
Nanny Yu took a look at the sky and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hands. It was only June and it was so hot. When I went south, I arrived in Kyoto, just in time for the hottest time of the year.
"Young Master Jin Hu, I don't know where you are." Li Haitang is going to take his younger brother Li Jinhu with him when he returns to Beijing. However, the younger brother will go back to his hometown with his master. The time is undecided. It happens that Li Haitang also has important things to do. The two agreed to meet in Kyoto.
