Chapter 57
The time for fun passed quickly, and it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. My eldest cousin watched me and my little cousin sleep sweetly on the straw piled up beside the grain drying field, and he was reluctant to wake us up.

"Guo Dong, what are you doing here?" Guo Cong's house is next to the grain drying field, and the straw belongs to his family. No, come here to carry the straw and go back to cook.

"My brother and sister are asleep." The eldest cousin still likes Guo Cong very much, and if others talk to him, he will not make a sound.Pointing to the two people submerged in the straw, if it weren't for my red wool hat, I really couldn't see it.The big cousin just looked for it for a long time.

"Wake them up quickly, you'll catch a cold if you sleep here." After all, Guo Cong was two years older than his eldest cousin and knew a lot.As soon as the big cousin said he knew what was going on, he quickly reminded the big cousin.

"Oh." The eldest cousin didn't think too much about it. Usually when everyone was tired from playing together, they would nest in the straw pile, and never thought that they would catch a cold.So when he heard it, he quickly woke up his little cousin.

"Brother..." The little cousin was sleepy, rubbing his eyes with his hands.

"Don't rub it, your eyes will become more and more itchy." Guo Cong slapped off his little cousin's hand, very anxious. "Guo Dong, I'll take your brother to wash his hands, and you bring your sister here."

"..." The eldest cousin looked at Guo Cong's back pulling his younger brother away with a little emotion. Although he used to love to chase after him and play with him, since his younger brother and Xiaoxiao went to school, the adults in the family are busy earning money , I suddenly realized that I can't always think about having fun, and I have to take care of my younger siblings.So I don't worship Guo Cong as much as before.But now he was really touched by this.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao." The big cousin didn't dare to call me loudly, but just yelled in a moderate way, pushing my shoulder gently with his hand.This is taught by my grandma. Grandma said that Xiaoxiao is still very young, so she can’t scare her behind her back, and she can’t talk to her suddenly, and she must be soft when she wakes her up, because if she is frightened, she will get sick. You need to see a doctor and ask the Bodhisattva to give you courage.In short, it is very troublesome.

At that time, the countryside was still relatively feudal, and most of the old people believed in ghosts and gods. In the countryside, if a child has a cold and a fever, if they can’t watch it all the time, the old man will carry the child on his back and show it to the woman who knows "symbols" when the sun goes down. , a person who is a bit like a witch will use cinnabar to acupoint the children's whole body, and will also boil tea for the children to eat.Explain that you can't take a bath for three days, and you can't eat food with oily gas, it must be light.And the effect is obvious.

However, many young people still see the mother-in-law's way.Because when the woman lights cinnabar, the children will cry and struggle, so the children with cold and fever will sweat.The opened tea is completely hydrating, not to mention the tea made with wormwood, which dispels wind and dissipates heat, and is also helpful for colds and fevers.Three days without bathing and eating without oil is entirely because children are fragile.

So the big cousin became anxious when he heard Guo Cong's reminder, so he woke me up.

"Big cousin." I raised my hand and stretched.Such a good sleep!
"Smile, are you cold?" The big cousin touched my hands and feet, although they were tightly wrapped, he was still very worried.

"It's not cold." I sniffled and took a breath, it was indeed not cold, my whole body was wrapped tightly, only my face was exposed, how could it be cold.

"Then let's go to the vegetable field." The big cousin looked at me carefully before picking me up with confidence.

"Where's little cousin?" I leaned my head on big cousin's shoulder and yawned a few times, sleeping so comfortably!I really like the straw in the drying field.As long as the straw doesn't touch the skin, it won't itch. If it's wrapped tightly, it's still very good for sleep, and it's warm.

"He went to wash his hands." The eldest cousin was very proud when he heard his cousin's sweet voice.Children from other families, as young as my cousin, are all dirty and cry a lot.It's not fun!But my cousin is not annoying at all, and when I play, I won't argue to play, but just stay aside obediently.

"Brother, smile." After washing his hands, the little cousin ran over with three dried bananas given by Guo Cong. "It was given by the captain."

"Smile, this is for you." The elder cousin gave me the sun-tanned dried bananas in the hands of the younger cousin. Although the dried bananas did not look good, they were sweet and soft, and tasted better than bubble gum.

"The most delicious food in the whole village is the captain's house!" The little cousin said proudly seeing how delicious I was eating.

"You can eat too." The eldest cousin took the smallest one and motioned for the younger cousin to eat.

"Well, it's delicious!" My satisfied expression was not exaggerated at all compared to my little cousin's. I thought to myself, it's really delicious!If the dried bananas are not well dried, there will be a strange smell, but this dried banana does not, and still retains the unique fragrance of fresh bananas.No wonder everyone in Guocun said that the dried bananas dried by Guo Cong's mother were delicious!If you have to buy it.Huh?Yes, mention it to Mom and Dad to see if they can also sell dried bananas.

Guo Cong looked at the three of Guo Dong from the kitchen window, especially the sleepy little girl whose eyes lit up when she saw dried bananas eating, she was very happy.I only have two brothers, but I always wanted to have a younger sister.
