Chapter 494 Who will serve
"Yes, my father's biological sister."
"Where is the rest of the family?"
"Today is Sunday, and I went to the Children's Palace." Huaibei guessed, didn't he also go to the Children's Palace on Sundays in the past?
"How old is your brother? Aren't all the students who go to the Children's Palace talented?"
“Our family is full of talent.”
The two of them sat in the living room eating strawberries. Yang Junwei stood up and looked towards the backyard. "Are they just growing vegetables here? I see a lot of flowers on the wall, don't they?"
"Climbing roses, my second aunt likes these." Jiang Huaibei knew that Yang Junwei was talking about the flowers on the wall in the yard when he just got off the car.
After looking outside, he turned inside and looked at the piano in the corner. "Huaibei, that's a piano, right? Does anyone in your family know how to play it? I saw this thing once when the Haicheng Art Troupe came to perform at our place. At that time, I was curious about why there was a table on the stage. Do you know how to play it? Show me your skills."
"I know a little bit, and so does my third brother. He's a professional and has been learning it for several years." Jiang Huaibei lay on the sofa, closed his eyes, and chatted with his comrades.
Soon I heard movement at the door.
When the Huaizhou bandits entered the village, they saw unfamiliar shoes as soon as they entered the door. They first went to the bathroom to wash their hands before going to the living room.
At first glance, he saw his second brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, "Second brother, second brother is back, second brother, I'll find you something delicious."
After saying that, he disappeared, slipped into the kitchen, and came out after a few minutes. "Second brother, look, these are the melon seeds I peeled a while ago. I originally saved them for myself. Now you can eat them, and here's the spoon."
"Second brother." Huai Xu.
"Second brother." Huai Shu.
Huai Zhi said clingily, "Second brother. I miss you so much. How come you are busier than dad? Dad can still call occasionally and write several letters a month. Why do you seem to have disappeared?"
"Brother, does your leg still hurt?"
There are four brothers, some hugging each other’s necks, some holding hands, some feeding each other, and some acting coquettishly.
Yang Junwei looked at the four little kids who came in quickly and didn't even notice that he was sitting next to them.
Jiang Wen knew that Gu Lixia was going to pick someone up today and her performance was mediocre. "Would you like to have a bath? Go up and call big brother."
"My legs don't hurt anymore. I didn't think of writing a letter. If I did, I'd feel uncomfortable all over and weak. I haven't taken a shower for a few days and I stink." Huaibei was instantly satisfied with his second uncle's suggestion.
"I'll go find clothes for my second brother." Huai Xu said and ran away.
"I'll go too. I'll just take a short-sleeved shirt."
"I'll take the shorts."
"I'll take the shorts."
As soon as the children left, Jiang Wen went into the kitchen. Gu Lixia came out with a teapot of hot water. "Go get the thermos. Just two will do."
Gu Lixia went upstairs and went to Huai Xu's bedroom on the south side of the courtyard.
I turned on the faucet to flush the bathtub first, then started to add hot water.
Let the system help secretly.
After Jiang Wen came up, Gu Lixia went out, went downstairs and returned to the kitchen.
As for Jiang Wen, he added a thermos of hot water to this sentence.
I went downstairs and picked up my nephew, then took a small stool and placed it outside the bathtub to rest his legs.
Huaibei stripped off his clothes and lay down with the help of his uncle. Suddenly, he remembered what happened in the old house. "Uncle, do you still remember the black plastic hot water bottle in our house?"
"He was really popular back then. A kid in the yard who didn't play with us much suddenly started playing with us. He even begged me every day. Is it my turn yet? How long will it take? When will it be my turn?"
"Then during that time, Jiang Huainan became the most popular child in the family compound. He was even more impressive than during the Chinese New Year." Jiang Wen agreed.
Jiang Huaibei smiled, "Yeah, even the other kids were willing to give up their candy in exchange for a chance to take a bath. You said candy was much more expensive than a bath at that time. But everyone wanted to try it, taking a bath while standing in that little house."
"At that time, I looked forward to noon and night the most. I could go home at noon and take a shower, take off my clothes, and then after dinner, if it was still too hot, I would take another shower."
"Uncle, was it very hard to carry water back then? To be honest, I didn't know what it was like before. I just thought that so many people needed it, and you had to carry it."
"But when I was on the ship, I helped carry a few bags of potatoes. My shoulders hurt for four days. What were you thinking about when you were carrying them every day? It's obvious." Huaibei couldn't continue.
Jiang Wen didn't think about that. "I just thought, if I don't carry water today, I won't be able to cook at home. And if I don't do this job, who will take over?"
"I can't let two women do it while I sit there all day. This is all in the past, why are you bringing it up?"
Huaibei was feeling a little down. "These things just suddenly occurred to me. Comparing them to the houses here, which have had taps running water for years, I feel like we're far behind Haicheng in some areas."
Jiang Wen was surprised that Huaibei was thinking about these things. In his eyes, except for Huainan who had grown up, everyone else was still a child. Children have questions and they should be answered.
"This is a normal phenomenon. The world is not uniform. You three brothers, Huaixu and Huaizhou, Huaizhi and Huaishu, are all brothers from the same mother. But if you observe carefully, you will find that not all children born from the same mother are exactly alike."
"Huaixu and Huaishu are both quiet. Huaizhou and Huaizhi wanted to tear down the house when they played together. When you three were little, your brother was sensitive and suspicious, you were lively and cheerful, and Huaixi was a crybaby."
"Look, as we've grown up, Huaixi hasn't cried in years. You're not as naughty as before, and your brother has become more peaceful. It's just two simple yet complex questions: how will Grandpa and Dad's compensation be divided in the future?"
"How are you three going to grow up? Your brother doesn't believe me no matter how much I say. He's always on guard. He's right. Even if I were your uncle, the aunts in the family compound would lecture me every day. If you were your brother, it would be the same. You'd grow up in an instant. Responsibility."
"We've become adversaries in the blink of an eye. You've grown up now. Think about it, is washing dishes difficult? Is sweeping and mopping the floor difficult? It only takes a few minutes, but time will reveal a person's true character."
Jiang Wen started rubbing his nephew's arms, then his neck, stomach, back, waist, legs, and buttocks. He rubbed the inconvenient parts while he held the other person's hand.
When scrubbing your body, you should rub each part of your body one by one, including places like the knees which are prone to dirt and grime, and you should rub them vigorously.
After scrubbing your body, apply shower gel, rinse off the mud on your body with hot water, then wipe yourself clean with a towel, put on a short-sleeved shirt, a pair of underwear, and a pair of wide shorts, and you're done.
