When Yizi was about three and a half years old, she realized that boys had more things than girls.
When he was young, he had never come into contact with water heater in the countryside. If he didn't go to the public bathhouse to take a bath in winter, he had to boil water at home.
In the countryside, there was something called a " kang ". It was made of earth and was especially long. There would be a stove fire across the wall, which was the land for cooking. The superstitious old people said that the kitchen god was related to that stove.
Every time he cooked on the stove, he could heat up the kang. When it was time to take a shower, he would boil a pot of hot water in advance so that the brick bed would be warm.
He scooped the hot water into a large wooden basin. He stood inside and covered it with a shower curtain that was as airtight as a plastic sheet. He could bathe inside for a long time without getting cold. After bathing, he could directly crawl into the warm bed and enjoy his beautiful dream.
However, this kind of bathing method was only limited to children. When Yi Zi could bathe by herself in primary school, she would have to go to the crowded public bathroom.
At that time, Mu Zi had gone somewhere and hadn't returned at nine o'clock in the evening. It was already dark outside, and there were only sporadic street lamps on the street. They were always flickering like ghost fires, which was very scary--at least, that was what Yi Zi thought.
Zhu Guo and Mu Zi's father went out to look for her, and Xiuzhi accompanied her seventh aunt. Because Mu Zi's family had no relatives here, the only one who could help was Yi Zi's family. After Seventh sister-in-law said Seventh Brother, she said Mu Zi, and after that, Mu Zi said Seventh Brother. She also said some words of thanks to Yi Zi's family. In short, Seventh sister-in-law's mouth was not in vain.
In fact, it was because Seventh Brother was too indulgent with Mu Zi. He promised him that as long as he scored 90 in all his subjects, he would go anywhere he wanted. Sure enough, this kid had scored full marks in the mid-term exam of the kindergarten class. Moreover, it was a year earlier. This did not make Mu Zi get carried away, but Seventh Brother was extremely happy. Immediately, whatever the kid said was true. It was almost impossible to tell who was the father and who was the son.
They were probably too engrossed in listening and talking until Mu Zi pushed open the door and interrupted his mother's angry speech. The two big women and a small woman only realized that Mu Zi had returned.
"Boil some water for me. I want to take a shower.”
How was this Mu Zi? She was simply a little beggar!
At that time, there were three seconds of silence, silence, dead silence…
Then, the volcano erupted!
Her seventh sister-in-law suddenly jumped up, pointed at Mu Zi's nose and shouted,"You still want me to boil water for you? It's already ten o'clock.”As he spoke, he was about to hit her.
Her seventh sister-in-law's roar was not a big deal. It did not scare Mu Zi, but Yi Zi opened his mouth and cried. He cried desperately.
However, Yizi's mother almost laughed out loud. She quickly adjusted her expression and pulled Mu Zi's mother.
"Alright, alright. You've scared the child. The child is back. Look at you. What are you so anxious about? I'm heating up a pot of water at home. I'll get Mu Zi to wash it at my place later.”
Mu Zi's mother had someone to pull her, and when she saw Yi Zi crying, her heart felt a little better, but her mouth still didn't stop.
Her seventh brother and her father probably heard the heart-wrenching cries as they hurriedly ran in from outside.
"What happened? Why are you crying?" Her seventh brother asked first.
"Hey, Mu Zi? Where did you go?" Zhu Guo said as he took a deep breath. At the same time, he reached out and placed his hand on Mu Zi's shoulder.
Mu Zi raised his head and calmly called out to Third Uncle.
The anxious and angry expression on the assistant's face instantly turned into a super kind smile.
Yi 'zi's eyes were blurred with tears, but she remembered that smiling face the most vividly because she had never smiled like that after helping the country, but she had never been jealous.
People change.
When Aunt Seven saw Brother Seven, she immediately bared her fangs and brandished her claws.
The words that the wife used to scold her husband, mixed with the dialect, all jumped onto Mu Zi's father.
His seventh brother was also anxious. As soon as he entered the door, he was scolded by his wife. A war of words instantly erupted.
The quarrel that was mixed with dialect made Yi Zi completely confused. The only thing she could do was cry, but she no longer had the strength to cry. She could only sob, close her eyes, and squeeze out her tears.
At that time, she felt that the end of the world had arrived. She was so helpless…and so awkward.
Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by someone. The owner of the hand led her, and she followed him with her eyes closed. Only when the noise faded away and the cold wind swept past her face did Yi 'zi remember to open her eyes to take a look.
When she fixed her eyes, the little Mu Zi had already plugged the door of Yi Zi's house shut.
At that time, the house had a large courtyard, a courtyard door, and a house door. All of them had bolts inside.
"Mu Zi! Mu Zi!" Mu Zi's father's voice and his mother's clamoring came from the other side of the door.
"Huang Muzi, come out!"
Then came the voices of Yizi's parents.
Later, his mother started to smash the door! However, no matter how hard his mother knocked on the door, it wouldn't open. Fortunately, Seventh Brother stopped her at that time. Otherwise, Seventh Sister-in-law would have torn down the door of Yizi's house.
Facing such a scene, Mu Zi just stood there without saying anything, and Yi Zi also did not know what to say.
Perhaps everyone had left, or perhaps Mu Zi's father was the only one left.
"Huang Muzi, do you think you did the right thing today?”
Mu Zi's father's voice came from outside the door. His voice was calm and serious. He was probably smoking. The stimulating smell of his cigarette seeped into the crack of the door, into Yi Zi's nose, throat, and lungs.
There was a moment of silence, only the sound of the wind and the smell of smoke.
"That's not right." Mu Zi took a deep breath. He finally spoke.
"What are you going to do? A man has to hide behind the door?"
"No, Dad, I'm going to take a shower now. I'll apologize to Mom tomorrow, and I promise you that I won't come home later than six in the future.”Yizi swore through the door.
A heavy sigh came from behind the door.
"Then you have to open the door. Otherwise, the adults will be worried if you two children are at home.”
"I'll open the door in an hour or two. I just don't want Mom to be angry when she sees me.”
Yi Zi finally couldn't hold it in anymore. The smell of smoke was like a small claw scratching Yi Zi's throat. She coughed a few times urgently.
"Alright, follow me in." Mu Zi's father said " sister ", and this term immediately made Yi Zi feel like a little master. He quickly pulled Mu Zi's hand.
"Goodbye, Daddy!" Mu Zi suddenly said excitedly. She turned around and left with Yi 'zi.
" Don't burn yourself. Come and open the door in a while. Don't forget…" Mu Zi's father was still reminding her.
Little people are big ghosts! Yi 'zi thought that way then, and she still thought that way now. Alright, she didn't know this idiom at that time, so she'll just summarize it like this.
To be honest, Yi Zi admired Mu Zi's father and Zhuguo at that time. They could not have negotiated with Little Mu Zi here, and they did not have to wait for nearly two hours in this cold winter night. The wall in the courtyard was not very high. People like Seventh Brother and Zhuguo could flip over with a little help, but they did not do that. They chose to respect the child. Perhaps, it was because they were still children--
They were born in the 70s. Half a farmer.
However, Yi Zi's enthusiasm immediately extinguished the dark room. She stood in front of the door, the closed door was like a closed mouth, ready to swallow the two little people in front of her at any time. Yi Zi faced the endless darkness and did not dare to move. The dark space was another world, and there were all kinds of unknown terrors wandering inside.
"Why aren't you going in?" Mu Zi said as she pushed the door open and walked in.
In an instant, his small body became taller in Yi Zi's heart. Mu Zi, who was two and a half years old, was not afraid of the dark. She remembered that when she was two years old, she seemed to have to turn on the lights even when she slept.
However, Yi 'zi did not follow them in immediately. She was waiting for the lights to be turned on. However, after about ten seconds, the light that symbolized warmth and liberation finally lit up. In those ten seconds, Yi' zi felt like she had waited for a few hours. She was so afraid. She thought that Mu Zi had been eaten by the monsters in this house and would never come back. She was already prepared to scream and escape. She was only waiting for Mu Zi's skeleton to crawl out.
"Why aren't you coming in? It's so cold outside." Mu Zi stuck his head out.
Yi 'zi was still shocked. She had always been timid.
Although this was her home, Yi Zi always felt that there was no one here. Only the outer room was lit with orange lights. The east and west rooms were dark. Yi Zi stood under the lights and felt very embarrassed. She felt that there were many fierce monsters in the corners of the two rooms and they were about to eat them.
As she thought of this, her eyes that had just finished crying squeezed out bags of tears again. However, because she was older than Mu Zi, it would be too embarrassing to cry at this time, so she held back her tears. But she looked so pitiful.
Mu Zi noticed it and quickly lifted the lid of the pot. The stifling heat in the pot instantly rose.
"Yizi, how about we take a bath together?”Mu Zi suddenly said happily. Mu Zi, this kid, had never called her Sister Yi Zi. He always called her by her name, but Yi Zi didn't mind.
This sentence was indeed powerful. Yi Zi was a little happier when he heard it. He rubbed his eyes and jumped over to take out the big wooden basin under the cupboard. There was a shower curtain in the basin.
"You hold this up, I'll get the water.”The little Mu Zi rolled up his sleeves and began to scoop water from the stove that was almost level with him into the big wooden basin. He adjusted the temperature with ease.
The shower curtain was like a simple wardrobe. There was a stand inside. If one had good control, they could set it up in three or four moves. However, even after Mu Zi adjusted the water temperature, the stupid Yi Zi did not set up the insulated shower curtain.
In the end, he still obediently took off his clothes and sat in the water. Mu Zi was outside supporting him. Then, like a loach, he magically crawled in from the outside.
