The little animals in the house were scared away by Li Qiu's breath, and it was much easier to clean up.
Until the sun set in the west, the master and the apprentice, who had been busy for a long time, finally tidied up the house to the point where it was barely habitable.
However, after cleaning up this mess, both the master and the apprentice were left in disgrace. Those who didn¡¯t know it thought they had gone to dig coal.
"Master, you have a chicken feather stuck on your face." In the main room, Yun Jing pointed at Li Qiu's face with his white teeth and smiled. As for where the chicken feather came from in this house that has not been occupied all year round, he did not think about it. Problem.
Li Qiu was not annoyed either. He looked at Yun Jing and said, "Jing'er, you still have a spider web on your head. It looks like a bird is trying to build a nest on your head."
"Hey" Yun Jing smiled and touched his head with his hand. The spider web was a little sticky.
The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, harmoniously and warmly.
At this time, Yunjing couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His master's thoughts were delicate. No matter what, he accepted him as his master. After all, they were still two strangers in the beginning. He was using the way of getting along with him to make them familiar with each other. get up, thus virtually bringing the relationship between the two parties closer.
???????????????????????????????????? If not, he might have found a way not to suffer the disgrace.
¡°Let¡¯s go, there¡¯s a well over there, let¡¯s go wash it off.¡± Li Qiu found a wooden bucket that could still be used, put a face cloth in it, and said while holding Yun Jing¡¯s hand.
¡°Obviously he had stepped on it a long time ago, the well was just a few hundred meters away from the house.
The water source of the well comes from underground water. It is extremely clear and a bit cold on hot days. It feels very comfortable to pour a handful on your face.
When he came to the well, Yun Jingxin said that it would be comfortable if he soaked a whole watermelon or something in it and cut it into a bite. Speaking of which, it seemed that he had not seen a fruit like "watermelon" in this world, and he didn't know. Do you have.
The well is leaning against a stone wall, and three small pools were built with stone slabs to lower the water level in a stepped manner. Each pool is four or five square meters, and the water is no deeper than a thigh. There are many finger-sized fish and fish inside. shrimp.
There are people standing beside each pool. Seeing this layout, Yunjing roughly guessed that the top pool, where the water outlet is, should be where people usually fetch drinking water, followed by those who wash vegetables, and then those who wash dishes. Laundry.
The stone slabs beside several pools are very smooth, and it is obvious that people come here often. You can also see some vegetables and the like in the second pool
Yunjing is only six years old. He has had the experience of "walking a bird" as a child. He is not afraid of being shy and washes up naked by the sink where clothes are washed. Li Qiu is much more civilized and cleans himself with clothes on.
While washing up, Li Qiu took out what he thought was a saponin dust pudding stuff for cleaning. Needless to say, the effect was pretty good.
Just when Yunjing was doubting whether his master could clean himself with his clothes on, he was wet and full of soap foam, and he poured a bucket of water over his head several times. There was a bang, and a cloud of water mist rose around him, and then the clothes on his body felt like they were being tossed by a dryer
Although it is afternoon now, the sunshine is still a bit harsh. It won¡¯t take long for the clothes on his body to be completely dry. Isn¡¯t this too convenient?
"I don't usually do this as a teacher. This is not to save trouble due to limited conditions. Jing'er, do you want me to help you dry your clothes?" Li Qiu pointed to the washed clothes beside the cloud scenery without any care and said with a smile.
Yunjing has become somewhat accustomed to his master¡¯s abilities, so he is not surprised. However, it would be nice to not have to wear wet clothes. He nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry to bother you, master.¡±
"No problem"
Li Qiu smiled, picked up Yun Jing's clothes and shook them a few times, and the water on the clothes was almost gone
Although the clothes were almost dry, they were not completely dry when they fell to the ground. Yun Jing was not wearing any clothes and was going to take them back to dry. He had heard from his mother that wearing wet clothes would make him sick easily.
As for my master, I don¡¯t think he cares about this issue.
Standing by the well, Yunjing visually inspected the water level in the well and the house where he would live in the future. The water level in the well was higher. He said, "Master, can we use bamboo pipes to guide the well water to the house? That would be convenient. That¡¯s a lot¡±
Li Qiu was stunned for a moment, and after a few visual inspections, he looked at Yun Jing and said with slight surprise: "It's completely feasible, Jing'er, who taught you this method?"
"No one taught me. I just saw the paddy field at home, and there were ditches on the side to divert water to the field, so I asked." Yunjing casually found an excuse.
When he was at home, his father would pick up water from the creek in the morning. It wasn¡¯t that Yunjing didn¡¯t want tap water at home, it was just a condition.?Allow.
The stream in Xiaoxi Village is much shorter than his house. If he had to divert water upstream, he would have to go several kilometers. He couldn't handle it himself, and his family didn't have time to complete this 'big project'. He originally wanted to consider this issue later. , now we can only wait until later.
Li Qiu looked at Yun Jing and praised: "Not bad, Jing'er, it's really rare that you can think of the convenience of life from the details. Well, as you said, we will divert the well water to the residence, but it will have to be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It will be dark soon, let¡¯s cook and eat first.¡±
"good"
Under the setting sun, the master and apprentice walked towards their residence.
After Yunjing finished drying the clothes, Li Qiu took out two sets of bedding from somewhere. He probably bought them from a certain farmer's house. They were patched and looked old, but they were washed very clean and smelled like sunshine.
Make the bed and light a fire to cook.
There is no shortage of firewood at the moment. When they were cleaning up the house, they threw out a lot of broken and unusable furniture.
Li Qiu said they only had half a month¡¯s rations, and it was true. Half a jar of brown rice should be enough for them to eat for half a month.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There are only pickles and lumps in the pot of porridge, and the rest is nothing. The master and apprentice both ate deliciously.
During the process of cooking porridge, Li Qiu took advantage of Yunjing's inattention and sprinkled some unknown things into the porridge. Anyway, it was a good thing to nourish the body. He wanted Yunjing to experience the difficult days, but it was not true. To torture him, after all, Yunjing is still growing.
It was getting dark after dinner, so the master and the apprentice packed up and went to bed. They had to continue working tomorrow.
It took me a long time to clean up the house. Although it was not a heavy physical work, Yunjing was still young and I was so tired that I fell asleep while lying on the bed.
After being taught by his master during the day, he no longer thought about martial arts training, so he didn't worry about not seeing his master practicing martial arts. Thinking about Li Qiu's level, he no longer needed to keep his fists in his hands like ordinary martial arts practitioners. .
In the next few days, Yunjing and Li Qiu were busy working around the house, repairing usable furniture, cleaning up weeds in the yard, using bamboo pipes to bring water from the well, and repairing holes in the roof. ¡
No matter how big or small, you have to do everything yourself.
It took them three full days to get the house in order, the house was clean, the yard was leveled, and they could still have tap water.
That afternoon, Li Qiu washed his hands with the running water. He asked Yun Jing, "Jing'er, how do you feel about cleaning up the house with your master these days?"
Yunjing took a handful of cold tap water to wash his face to eliminate the heat. After hearing the master's words, he thought about it and said truthfully: "Tired!"
Although what he did was just trivial work, Yunjing felt really tired after working all day long.
"What else?" Li Qiu nodded and asked again.
Yunjing looked around at the clean and tidy house and said: "Happy"
"It's normal to be tired. After all, there's so much work. It's normal to be happy. Now, do you feel that you have a sense of accomplishment in having tidied up the house like this? The sense of accomplishment comes from achieving a certain goal through your own efforts. A feeling of joy, usually this feeling does not need to be recognized by others, have you ever felt this way?" Li Qiu said with a smile.
He was afraid that Yunjing would not understand the word sense of accomplishment, so he explained it by the way.
Yunjing nodded and said, "That's really it."
"Yeah," Li Qiu said with a smile, and then added: "You will feel tired after cleaning the house by yourself for a few days. Now think about it, in your home, your mother handles the housework every day, taking care of everything. That's not just a daily routine. It¡¯s just two days, but it¡¯s day after day and year after year, so is she tired?¡±
After Yunjing heard this, he was silent for a moment, feeling a little touched in his heart, and said: "I think my mother must be very tired."
"That's right. So, you may know that your mother is very tired doing housework, but you don't understand where the tiredness lies. Maybe you are used to the scene of your mother doing housework, and you haven't even considered this issue. Now, you are personally After going through it and having personal experience, have you understood how difficult it is for your mother? And what we have done these days is far from what your mother does every day. I heard that your family also has chickens, ducks, pigs, and cows. Your brother, your mother needs to take care of all these, right? She also has to cook for the family, three meals a day, work in the fields, do needlework, etc"
"My teacher is telling you this to tell you that there are many things that you know are the same thing, but if you don't experience them personally, you will never be able to feel them personally, and you will always stay at the stage of 'I know' and 'I understand'. , to put it bluntly, it is just rhetoric, but it cannot touch the soul. Only when you experience it physically and mentally, can you truly understand something. This is what my teacher wants to tell you."
It turns out that Master has these deep meanings in doing these trivial tasks these days.
Teaching by words and deeds is nothing more than this.
Understanding his intention, Yunjing said respectfully: "Disciple, please be taught."
"It's good to understand. Then starting from tomorrow, we will plow the land. You may have heard that farmers are tired from farming, but why and where is it? You have to experience it yourself to truly understand!"
Li Qiu pointed to some wasteland in front of the yard and said (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)It turns out that Master has these deep meanings in doing these trivial tasks these days.
