Chapter 18 Well Water
The Ziyuan community where Xu Rong lives is not far from the hospital, about two stops away from the bus stop.After Xu Qing called, the old lady rushed to the third floor of the inpatient department like a rooster.

She was holding a bamboo basket with some seasonal vegetables in it.

Zucchini, two tomatoes, a small handful of greens tied with a rubber cord.

It should have just arrived from the vegetable market.

As soon as she reached the stairs on the third floor, Xu Rong froze for a moment.With Xu Qing's support, the elderly Xu Cong, wearing a large hospital gown, got out of the hospital bed, and walked back and forth in the corridor with his two thin thighs step by step.

The health of the old man made Xu Rong's brewing anger dry up like a balloon. Leaning on crutches, she stepped up and supported the old man, "Dad, what are you looking at, Xiao Hao? Xiao Hao is a junior. He should see you when he comes over. Skin child, it's not easy for people to worry about all day long."

She scolded Wu Hao with harsh words.

Under the gray hair, the covered presbyopic eyes were secretly squinting at his own father.

Pointing at mulberry and scolding Huai, one learns without a teacher.

"It's not a problem to stay in the hospital." Xu Rong was raised by Xu Cong with his shit. Take a look outside to get some fresh air, Hao'er's school is just a drop by, it's not far anyway."

Xu Rong hummed, pulled out the spare wheelchair in the ward, and let Xu Cong sit on it.Then a blanket was placed over the curled up legs.The old man's two legs are old cold legs, even in the sunny late spring, when the slightly cool warm wind blows, he is still shivering badly.

Wu Hao's school is neither far nor close to the hospital.

About ten miles away.

To take a car.

Xu Cong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, felt that the journey was far away.There are many willows in Xijing, catkins fluttering on the sidewalk, blocking the glare of the sun, and the shadows burn on the eyelids, making people doze off.

When people get old, it is easier to fall asleep.

Sleepy in spring, lacking in autumn and taking a nap in summer.

On the bumpy road, he noticed that the bus with acrid exhaust gas had braked.There was a chirping sound from the cylinder, and the rear door opened.The yellow assist pedal came down and he was pushed inside.

……

Tired from running, the dozing Fox Immortal was stuffed in Xu Er's arms.After he had finished sowing the peas, when he was resting on the ridge of the field at the head of the grandfather's grave, he saw Mr. Hu curled up in the shade of a tree beside the road.Rural cemeteries are mostly buried on plateau slopes, separated by layers of field ridges from the top slope to the flat ground.

Ancestors are buried in the fields.

This is true for both cats and dogs, who like to lazily lie in one place and bask in the sun.

Master Hu doesn't need to be afraid of hunters, it is a Baojiaxian, only he and his father can see it.

The gray-white fox arched out of Xu Er's arms. It looked at the setting sun at sunset, the criss-cross furrows, and Xu San'er who was untying the pear share rope for the old cow.I already understood that today's work is over and it's time to go home.

From modern times to the present.

The gray-white fox has calculated the time difference, but he can't get an accurate number.This side passes faster, four or five days pass, and only one day passes over there.No, not necessarily.When it was first reborn, a day passed here, and a day passed there.

It seems, over time.

On this side of childhood, time flows faster and faster.

Still, that's a good thing for it.On the other side is a decayed body.Here, however, it moves sharply and swiftly.Running in a hurry, the beating sound of the heart proves the vitality of the body.

The longer you stay here, the better.

If there are too many, it is its profit.

This day is also Sunday.The Sunday after the Beginning of Spring.Last year, the winter vacation was held on December 21th in the second year of Xuantong, and school started on the [-]st of the first month.

"Every spring, school starts around the [-]th of the first lunar month, and school ends on the small summer festival, and summer vacation is given; the school starts on the sixth day after the beginning of autumn, and school ends before December [-], and annual leave is given." —— "Lu Province University School Regulations".

After Sunday, tomorrow I will go to school to study.Xu Er was taken care of by Mr. Xu, and in this short winter, he recognized all the Chinese characters in the Chinese textbook.But Xu Er's fool did not dare to be careless, because children from poor families have no way out.He has to study hard.

The light of the oil lamp is like beans.

The wick made of rushes burns slowly.The ignited white steam smoked the eyes, covering the eyes like a thin layer of white mist.

Xu Er stunned put down his textbook, and followed Master Hu's instructions to do eye exercises.

Eye exercises are not exclusive to the 21st century.Of course, not now.After the new era, Xu Cong saw that Xu Rong had done it. At that time, all students would do this set of eye exercises.

The wick made of rushes is not as bright as the cotton wick, and it is easy to blind the eyes.

But fortunately, it saves fuel.

After working in the noon, the hot sweat secreted dried up, leaving behind salt stains and a layer of dirt, Xu Er was itchy and scratched the back of his head and neck.He simply walked out of the stable, throwing down the hemp rope wrapped around Ishii's wheel.

The wooden barrel sank to the bottom with a muffled sound.

After waiting for a few breaths of effort, the hemp rope that was put down sank and became straight and stiff.Xu Er shook the handle of the well, and the bucket hit the wall of the moss well, and he was lifted out of the well by him unsteadily.

slap!

Xu Er, who was naked, raised the bucket, and the falling well water sprinkled his body.Slippery well water overflowed around the yard along the heels.

Cool!Sweet!
Saponin rubbed his body, wiping off layers of dirt.

"Master Hu, do you know what soap is?" Xu Er was very envious of his husband's ability to use soap. The soap is much better than the saponins in his hand, and it can have a fresh fragrance after washing.

He likes the fragrance very much.

Jomo is scholarly.

"Sir uses soap."

He added a sentence.

Before, I never met Mr.What he envied was the master, who didn't have to work in the fields, had a family property of ten thousand, said one thing in the village, and everyone in the village would call him "Master" in front of his face.

Seventy percent of the land in Xujiabaozi belongs to the master....

But after meeting Mr., he felt that the master was much vulgar.He can't understand the book that Mr. read, it is very profound, and Mr. is also very refined.As for the master, he only reads some gaudy novels in picture books.He felt that everything should be advertised as Mr.He wants to be like Mr.

The gray-white fox avoided the splashing water in the courtyard, and it called out, which was the sound of a fox.

But Xu Er Lengzi has been with the fox fairy for a long time, he understands the meaning of the fox fairy, "Master Hu, you mean, you have used soap, and you have seen soap."

Yoyo's fox cry came again, and the gray-white fox affirmed this sentence.

It has seen soap and used it.

In the New World, soap was so cheap that every household could afford it.

The gray-white fox walked to the side of the stone well. It leaned against the well rail, raised its forelimbs, and pressed against the edge of the bucket. Looking at the bottom of the bucket with only a thin layer of water left, it licked the tip of its tender tongue.
