Chapter 154: Li Hua's Family (Five Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)

With the multi-pronged and effective measures of two or two and a half people, not only was the epidemic quickly extinguished, but the health and mental outlook of the victims were also visibly improved.

They no longer look like Hanako, and they look no different from the ordinary citizens of Nancheng.

It's even a little cleaner.

After all, in Nancheng, there are no 'inner chiefs and inner chiefs', urging the people to take a bath, wash their hair and wash their clothes every day.

The people of Daming are the most passionate about life, and when someone helps them break free from the quagmire of precariousness, their lives are gradually back on track.

~~

Halfway through the fifth watch, the sky was bright, and there was movement in the rows of brand-new bamboo houses in Xin'an Minshe.

It was the sound of industrious housewives getting up to cook.

In the row of resettlement houses in the seventh and seventh houses of the fourth and sixth lanes, a villager named Li Hua lived in the first room, his wife Liang, and their three children.

Liang is a clean-loving woman, she would rather get up half an hour earlier than others, and tidy up the simple bamboo house first.

And other people's houses are full of land, but hers has bamboo floors.

She and her children took advantage of their leisure time to pick up the bamboo leftover from the construction, took it back and cut it into thick bamboo strips with her husband, and then braided it into bamboo mats and spread them on the ground.

In this way, the house is cleaner and the children can play barefoot in the house, which makes the children next door envious.

As for the tables, chairs and benches in the house, they are all the original furniture of her house. Although they were in tatters after fleeing every year, Liang wiped them clean and covered them with a thick blue tablecloth.

Then put the flowers in the bamboo tubes. The bamboo tube was secretly taken out by her husband when he was building a house and used as a flower pot for her.

And the flowers were picked by the children from Yufeng Mountain and given to their mothers.

With these bright color embellishments, the bamboo house is lively and has the warmth of home.

After appreciating his arrangement with satisfaction, Liang went out a short distance with his burden to the well that belonged to Sibao to fetch water.

Listening to the funny Mr. Xu, the well water is much cleaner than the river water because the well water does not interfere with the river water.

Although Liang couldn't figure out what the relationship between the two was, what a learned person said always made sense.

Anyway, since she dug the well, she only used to collect well water, and never went to the river to fetch water again.

~~

At this time, it was just white, and there were few people to fetch water, so Liang quickly picked up two buckets of water and went home.

There is no water tank at home, and even the bucket is shared with the concubine's family, so she has to hurry.

Liang lit the fire first, sat down on the pot, and then poured water into the pot.

Taking advantage of the boiling water, she dipped a coarse cloth in water and carefully scrubbed the floor.

The floor of the bamboo strip should not be washed directly with water, as the water will seep under the floor and accumulate moisture. Only wipe it with such care.

At this time, there was movement in the bedroom separated by a curtain, and then there was a commotion.

Her three children, the eldest twelve, the youngest four, were boys. There is also a six-year-old girl.

The two little ones are at their most naughty, and they are almost going to make a fuss from the moment they wake up. Suddenly, the two lifted the curtain and rushed out bare-assed, chasing each other around the house.

"Don't run, slide carefully!" Li Hua chased out naked, shouting while wearing a small coat: "Don't touch the pot!" ”

In the quiet room, there was chaos.

In the past, Liang would feel very annoyed at this time, but now she only feels happy, very happy.

A month ago, it was quiet, the whole family of five curled up in the black and smelly shack like mice, the youngest son was sick in the middle of the night, and the youngest daughter was also hungry and motionless, but the two of them were at a loss.

The dead silence made her extremely worried that she would lose her children in this famine.

This is by no means unfounded, every time a child flees, a child dies, and last year her youngest son was gone......

Leung was terrified that it would be his child's turn this year.

Fortunately, God was kind and sent Zhao Zhixian to Kunshan.

Although Liang had never met the old parents, she could feel firsthand what a great change he had brought to Kunshan County and the people of Kunnan who had been affected by the disaster.

In just one month, her family's life was freed from a desperate situation.

Especially after the recent start of the embankment, the elderly parents have increased the food for everyone.

Her two sons worked together in the county, and in addition to supporting a family of five, she could even save some surplus food.

The children were also cured, their stomachs were full, and they were full again.

That precarious worry vanished.

How nice.

~~

Li Hua finally grabbed the two dolls, clamped them under his arms, and forcibly took them out to wash their hands.

Then he would go and pick up a load of water and send it to his eldest brother's house.

The eldest son, Miwa, packed the futon and put it in the box, and then opened the curtain, and the room suddenly lit up.

"Mother, it's so fragrant, what delicious did you make?" Miwa is just when she grows her body, like a wolf that can't be fed.

"Lotus leaf rice." Liang washed the rag and handed it to his son, asking him to wipe the bamboo mat on the bed as well.

"No, there's the smell of meat." Miwa rubbed the bamboo mat and said excitedly: "Mother, did you add the sausage I won!" ”

"Dognose." Liang lifted the lid of the pot in a funny way, and the white air was rising, and the rich aroma was almost crying for the child next door.

In fact, she did it last night while the child was sleeping, otherwise the time in the morning was too tight, and she wouldn't have had time to cook the lotus leaf rice.

Liang asked his eldest son as he brought the pot from the fire to the wooden board on the side.

"Are you still going to catch rats today?"

"No, I won't. The neighborhood is long gone, and the monks of Huiju Temple all said that the rats in this area scared us so much that we all moved. ”

Miwa said proudly and disappointedly: "I caught it yesterday, I'm afraid it's the last one." ”

"Then let's go out with my mother." Liang said, put three large rice balls on a plate, handed them to his son, and said, "Send them to your grandmother." ”

Miwa hurriedly ran out with a saucer and shoes, and after a while, she rushed in with her younger siblings and throwing off her shoes.

"Eat poached pork rice!" The children cheered and picked up a bag of rice each, which was not too hot and ate deliciously.

Li Hua also came back for dinner. But the children didn't notice that the lotus leaf rice that their parents ate was really only wrapped in rice, without a little sliced meat.

As soon as the two of them had eaten, Chief A shouted at the head of the house to go to work, and Li Hua quickly wiped his mouth and stood up.

Liang also hurried up, picked up the flat pole resting on the wall, and hung her man's brick knife with hemp rope on it.

Li Hua took the flat burden handed by his wife, grinned at her, and said, "I'm at work, you guys should be careful on the road."

"Well, you should be careful, too." Liang nodded.

Li Hua touched the head of his eldest son and kissed the two younger ones. At this time, the lieutenant also sounded the gong, and he hurriedly ran out.

After her husband left, Liang asked Miwa to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then sent the two small ones to the concubine for the old lady and sister-in-law to watch.

Her eldest brother also went to work, and her sister-in-law couldn't row a boat with a bad waist, so she stayed at home and knitted baskets with her mother-in-law while watching the children, which was actually very hard.

When she got home, Miwa had already cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and extinguished the fire.

Liang closed the door and took his son out of Xin'an Minshe to find his boat by Zhihetang.

Then the two of them held the penny, rowed towards the north gate, and drove out of the water gate into the Loujiang River.

Countless ships, large and small, also converged into the Loujiang River from all directions, forming a huge fleet and heading westward.

Target Taihu Lake West Mountain!

Ps. Regarding the problem of microscopic slice coating in the previous chapter, in history, there was no coloring at the beginning, and even glass slides were discovered, and everything that could be found was discovered...... Leeuwenhoek just looked straight at things...... Although this is not scientific, it is the most intuitive. If you color the ancients as soon as they come up, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect.
