I saw Zhou Shi'an, the little black boy, with his head raised and wiping his pockets fondly.

Lu Miao couldn't hold back, and quietly smiled happily.

Shaking his head to the chirping of summer cicadas, he bent his lips and lowered his head to continue his work.

On the other side of the main room, Zhou Shian looked through the pockets with round eyes, and looked at Tang Mei with his thin lips pursed.

Tang Mei smiled and silently raised her chin towards the other side of the room.

Zhou Shian immediately understood who sewed the pockets on his coat.

Past life experiences are among the few memories that still have impressions.

Zhou Shian remembered that he was being sent back and forth all the time.

Zhou Shi'an is now over four years old and can barely understand anything.

Going a little further, when you don't know what's going on, you will inevitably cry and make trouble.

However, after being beaten, looked down upon and scolded, the young Zhou Shi'an gradually figured out a set of rules for survival that no longer meant being sent around.

Until his grandma died, he was brought to the capital from the northeast.

His father sent him to the Fu family courtyard. He thought this time would be like the past.

The family will also beat him and scold him, but it doesn't matter. As long as he is sensible, doesn't fight, doesn't fight, and stays quietly, he can avoid being beaten and scolded.

However, this family was nothing like what he imagined.

There were no curse words, and no one looked fierce.

He would eat whatever his younger siblings ate.

When the uncle comes back from outside, after hugging his younger siblings, he will also hug him.

My aunt is also so gentle.

Always touch his face with a smile and teach him to wash his hands before eating.

Now I'm sewing pockets for him...

Zhou Shian touched the little cat's head on his pocket, his little chest was swollen.

In the evening Zhou Hong came to pick up his son and take him home.

Zhou Shi'an followed his father to the entrance of the yard. Hesitantly, he broke away from his father and ran back.

The little guy raised his head and hugged his aunt's leg, "Thank you, aunt."

Lu Miao has always known that Zhou Shi'an has a naughty and sensitive personality.

Lu Miao naturally noticed his subtle transformation.

Slowly squatting down, as he usually does with his two children, Lu Miao kissed the little guy's face, stroked his soft hair and said:

"Come early tomorrow, your brothers and sisters are waiting for you at home."

Zhou Shi'an's little black hand scratched the side of his head, feeling like he was at a loss.

Nodding shyly, he waved to Dabao and Erbao in a rare gesture:

"Brothers and sisters, I'll come back tomorrow!"

"Goodbye brother!"

"Goodbye, brother Shi An, come early tomorrow!"

Zhou Shi'an turned back three times at a time, held his father's hand and walked out of the alley and got into the passenger seat of the pickup truck.

In the dim light, Zhou Shi'an poked his head and looked at the mirror in the car. Finally, with a straight face, he lowered his head and looked at his little black hands suspiciously.

My younger brothers and sisters are all so white and clean.

On the other hand, he was dark and dirty at first glance.

From today on, he will also be a hygienic child, washing his hands and face frequently, and taking a bath!
He did it as soon as he thought of it, Zhou Shian put his legs together, Banpan was sitting on the passenger seat, and said:

"Dad, go back and get me water, I want to take a bath!"

The rough man Zhou Hong didn't think much about it. He just thought it was because the weather was hot and his son was sweating and sticky, so he grinned and agreed:
"Row!"

That night, in a simple residential courtyard in the suburbs.

Zhou Hong was shirtless and wearing large underpants, standing by the well in the courtyard with his naked son in his hands.

A bucket of water was brought up and poured directly on his son's head. "No, Dad, no, I'm cold!"

"Why is it cold? In this summer, the cold only lasts for a while. It won't be cold after washing."

The Zhou family is different from the Fu family. They rent a single room in a large courtyard. The house is small and only has a sleeping area.

I have to buy steamed buns from outside for daily meals, and I don’t even have a stove at home.

This is the only way to take a bath.

It's simply hot in summer, so it's okay to wash like this.

Zhou Hong's tone was determined, and when Zhou Shi'an thought about it, he felt that his father was right.

I stood under the large water pillar that my father tilted down and scrubbed carefully.

While washing, the father and son poured water on each other and had a water fight, laughing and joking.

It wasn't until someone in the courtyard shouted, "Keep your voice down" that one senior and one young boy suppressed their laughter.

After hastily taking a bath, Zhou Hong carried a bucket and held his naked son in his arms.

I returned home with water dripping from my eyes along the way.

The child's physical condition is not as good as that of an adult. The well water poured on him the night before made his heart feel cold, and Zhou Shi'an had a runny nose the next day.

Zhou Hong was so used to being alone that he didn't even notice.

When he went to work in the morning and sent his children to Fu's courtyard, Zhou Hong left in a hurry.

It was Tang Mei who discovered it.

The season change has long passed, and the weather has been steadily hot recently, so a sudden runny nose seems unusual.

Tang Mei asked several times before she knew the whole story, and inevitably had to nag for a while:
"Can children be like adults? They are so ignorant!"

After finishing reciting Zhou Hong, Tang Mei started to recite Fu Jingyou again.

It was said that Fu Jingyou always came back covered in sweat, and would wash his hair with cold water when he went to the well, which was not good for his health.

The elders and juniors compete on this point.

She talked about hers, and he went his own way and continued to do his.

In the morning, he cooked some ginger soup for Zhou Shi'an. When Fu Jingyou came back at noon, Lu Miao asked him to take Zhou Shi'an to the health center by bicycle.

Fu Jingyou took Zhou Shi'an there as promised, and the doctor at the health center said it didn't matter, just go back and sweat.

Fu Jingyou was worried, so he gave me two pills and took them back as a precaution.

A child is not as pitiful as a mother, and the father is not a careful person.

After roughly understanding the situation of the Zhou family, I was afraid that Zhou Hong would give the child a cold bath when he went back.

From that afternoon onwards, Tang Mei would always watch the time, and when the sun was right, she would weigh a bucket of water and put it outside to bask in the sun.

When the sun sets in the evening, the bucket of water happens to be slightly hot, sometimes a little hot to the touch.

It's perfect for taking a bath and saves firewood.

Tang Mei took the children in the courtyard to bathe one by one, and asked Zhou Shian to finish washing here before going back.

Zhou Shi'an couldn't let go at first, covering his little bird nakedly and hiding around to prevent Tang Mei from getting involved.

How can he really hide if he is small?
In the end, Tang Mei was forced to sit in the basin, and she carefully rubbed the back of her ears and her feet.

Zhou Shi'an couldn't wash himself clean after taking a shower, so Tang Mei pressed and rubbed him several times.

His body became clean and tidy, and his dark face looked much more handsome than Zhou Zheng's before.

Er Bao looked at Zhou Shi'an every day with a pair of eyes like underwater black pearls, and he fell in love with this brother even more.

Later that night, Zhou Shian went back with cold medicine, and Zhou Hong realized this later.

The next day I sent Zhou Shi'an over, and Zhou Hong also brought a box of canned fruits to the door.

After apologizing and thanking, Zhou Hong scratched his head and had no choice. He could only ask Tang Mei to take care of the places he couldn't see.

What can Tang Mei say about him?
I asked him to bring something over, but he took it too.

Let him take it back, but I'm afraid he will feel guilty.

Finally, he collected the things and reassured him about the child. (End of chapter)
