Chapter 14 Ready to go
The next day, when it was still dark, Jiang Quhan heard the rustling sound of getting up, she didn't know what time it was, and she couldn't see anything.

She waited for a while, and when her eyes got used to the darkness, she could gradually see some faint light, which should be the light from the moon.With these glimmers of light, she also dressed and got up.

Li Cunbao should have heard her get up, and was waiting outside for her to go to the kitchen together.

After leaving the door, the moon was still hanging high in the sky.Jiang Quhan yawned and asked, "What time is it?"

"Yin Zheng, I guess, A Niang is already making dry food, and there is still a long way to go. When we reach the foot of the mountain, it will be dawn." Li Cunbao replied while leading the way.

Mrs. Zhao was busy in the kitchen, and she didn't know when she got up, and she was steaming steamed buns in full swing.

Seeing the two of them coming, he immediately poured two scoops of hot water into the sink. "It's still cold in the morning, you wash with hot water."

Li Cunbao took the washbasin and handed it to Jiang Quhan, meaning let her wash it first.

Farm water and firewood are resources that can only be obtained by labor. The water is brought back by Li Mancang or Li Mantun from the village well every morning.The firewood is usually the children in the family, and whoever is free will pick some up.So everyone is saving money.

The whole family washes their faces after you finish washing, and I will wash again.

Jiang Quhan was not polite to him, took the washbasin, and went to wash up.There is no such condition for brushing your teeth here. You can only rinse your mouth with water. If the conditions are better, get some old tea leaves and chew them to freshen your breath.

After they finished washing, Li Cunxi also came over, and he didn't dislike it either. After washing his face with Li Cunbao, he also rubbed his own face.

He put the basin back to its original place, and asked Li Cunbao to go to the utility room together, where some tools are usually kept.

Jiang Quhan went to the kitchen to help Mrs. Zhao.Mrs. Zhao was very quick to do things. When Jiang Quhan entered, she was already taking out the steamed buns from the pot.

Seeing Jiang Quhan, Mrs. Zhao commanded: "Go and get your gourds and your brother's gourds. I will fill you with hot water. I also filled several bamboo tubes. When you go to the mountains, don't drink the cold water from the mountains. Some water is unclean."

"Hey, I'll go right away." Jiang Quhan responded very simply. She didn't want to drink the water from the mountain either. The water hadn't been filtered or sterilized. Who knew there were bugs in it.

Although the children in the village are not so particular, they drink the river water when they catch the river, and drink the mountain spring water when they catch the mountain.However, Li Mantun and the Zhao family did not allow Li Juhua and Li Cunbao to drink the unboiled water. The reason was that when Li Cunbao drank the water when he was a child, he had a stomach upset and almost died.

After that time, Li Mandun also specially planted gourds, and got a water bottle for the two of them, which can be taken with them when they go out, which is more convenient than bamboo tubes.There are also some at home, and most of them are shared. Only Li Juhua and Li Cunbao have their own marks, and they are usually carried with them, and they are kept in their own rooms when not in use.

When Jiang Quhan brought the gourd over, Mrs. Zhao had already wrapped the steamed buns in cloth and put them in a bamboo basket, and then put several bamboo tubes filled with water into it.

Mrs. Zhao took the water bottle from Jiang Quhan's hand, filled it with water, and told her: "Don't go too deep into the mountain, there are wild boars in it. Last time I heard from your Aunt Wang that the little bald head was hunting bamboo rats over there. And I heard wolves howling."

"Well, we're only staying nearby, and we won't go too deep, Aniang, don't worry." Jiang Quhan responded very simply.
