The casual life of the flat space

The door creaked open, Bai Tieying looked around, and turned to the south room of the west wing following the sound. As soon as he lifted the door curtain, a smelly and hot dampness hit him in the face. Bai Tieying did not go in immediately, but stood at the door with his eyes closed for a few breaths, then opened his eyes and looked into the room.

There was a charcoal basin in the middle of the floor, and to the south of it was a makeshift bed board about two feet wide. The bedding on it was rolled up on top of the box at the back, probably to prevent it from getting too close to the fire. On the bed at the foot of the west wall, a woman with a headscarf on her head was banging against the wall, and the child on the bed was crying heartbreakingly.

"Sister Hua!" Bai Tieying shouted and hurried forward to pull Sister Hua, but Sister Hua struggled and was almost taken to the bed.

"Sister Hua, why can't we talk nicely? If you get hurt, what will happen to the child? Listen! The child is crying so sadly! He feels sorry for you! Please don't hit him. The child is so young. If you get hurt, he won't be able to survive!"

Bai Tieying didn't dare to pull him anymore, she was afraid that he would be taken to the bed and crush the child, so she could only stand by and worry. The people nearby must have gone to the fields, otherwise they would have come long ago if they heard the noise.

Fortunately, when Bai Tieying said that the child "can't survive", Mrs. Hua finally came to her senses. She suddenly stopped banging her head against the wall and picked up the crying child.

The child finally came crying for his mother, twitching and shaking his head from side to side looking for food. But Mrs. Hua burst into tears, and the blood and tears on her head dripped onto the child's swaddling clothes, saying, "Mother is useless, mother is useless!"

Bai Tieying had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mrs. Hua had finally stopped banging her head against the wall but started crying again, and even the child who had just stopped crying started crying again. He was really overwhelmed.

"Sister Hua, you scared the child. So, you can give the child to me first or put him down, and we can talk it out! I have already persuaded Grandma Dong, don't worry!"

"Oh! Oh! No matter how wrong you are, it's all Grandma's fault. If you want to beat me or scold me, just come to me!" Grandma Dong finally walked into the room, but Bai Tieying almost fell over in anger when she opened her mouth.

Although I don’t know what happened, but even though Mrs. Hua was hurting herself, she was still supporting herself on the bed with her hands. Why did she get beaten and scolded?

"Grandma Dong, why don't you go to the field and call Brother Huazi back? Or you can go and boil some water and wipe Sister Hua's face!"

"Oh, yes, I'm old and confused. I didn't even give the guest a bowl of water to drink. E! I poured the child a bowl of brown sugar water, where did you put the brown sugar? I don't want to drink it! I'm going to die, I can't snatch a bite of food from you. But this child comes to our house for the first time, there can't be no bowl of sugar water!"

When Mrs. Hua heard this, she cried even harder, and the child cried until her voice became hoarse. Bai Tieying saw that this was not going to work, so she immediately turned around to support Grandma Dong and took her outside, saying:

"Mrs. Dong, I don't want to drink water. I want you to boil some water for Mrs. Hua to wipe her face. It was wrong of me to come empty-handed the first time I came to your house. Next time, I will bring you a big bag of brown sugar. I won't give it to anyone else. I will just give it to you! By the way, have you let the chickens out? Why do I hear chickens crowing?"

Dong's legs were weak, she took one step forward and two steps back. Bai Tieying supported her and she put all her weight on her, so Bai Tieying didn't dare to let go. After finally coaxing her to the kitchen, Bai Tieying turned around and left.

Seeing that Grandma Dong didn't chase her out, she quickly entered the space to boil water, quickly let it cool down, filled a basin in the space with water, found a new face towel, left the space, and quickly walked towards Sister Hua's room.

Bai Tieying had not closed the door since he entered the house, and when he came back, the foul smell in the house had been reduced a lot. A few locusts were nothing, but if the house was kept closed, even good people would get sick. Mrs. Hua was no longer as excited as before, but she was still crying while holding her child.

"Sister Hua, let me wipe your wound. It may hurt a little. You have worked hard!" Bai Tieying said while throwing a face towel.

But as soon as these words came out, Mrs. Hua began to breathe heavily again, and her hands holding the child were shaking. She looked at Bai Tieying suddenly and said, "Hard work? I'm tired?"

"Yes, of course you have worked hard! Look at how strong the child is. You must have suffered a lot when giving birth to him. By the way, what is the child's name? I didn't hear you clearly when you said it just now. How old is he?" Bai Tieying said while wiping Mrs. Hua's face.

When Mrs. Hua heard the question about the child, she lowered her head and looked at the child and said, "His name is Qiuqiu, he's a boy, and he should have his third birthday today! But the insect plague has come, my mother and the others must not be able to come, and I was counting on my mother to save me! Mother, mother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have disobeyed you!"

As Mrs. Hua was talking, she started to cry again, and the child also cried until he had no more strength. Bai Tieying saw that this was not going to work, so she quickened her pace to wipe Mrs. Hua's baby ...

Mrs. Hua probably didn't have the strength to hold the ball anymore, so she gently placed the ball next to her legs and lay down, supporting her waist.

Qiuqiu felt that he had lost his mother's warmth and scent, and was about to cry again. Bai Tieying quickly touched his little face with her fingers and touched the corners of his mouth. Qiuqiu immediately turned his head and used his little mouth to find Bai Tieying's fingers, and soon achieved his goal. He hummed with satisfaction and sucked the well water dripping from Bai Tieying's fingertips.

Bai Tieying was relieved to see that this trick he saw in the original world was effective. He joked in his heart: Big data is too powerful, it has predicted that I will use the foraging reflex to feed my children in another world!

But she was afraid that Mrs. Hua would come to her senses and find something strange, so she first put away the basin and face towel on the ground, and then asked Mrs. Hua what was worrying her and if she could tell her about it. If one person can help her, two people can help her, and maybe they can come up with a solution.

When Mrs. Hua heard Bai Tieying's words, tears immediately flowed down her eyes again, but she quickly spoke:

"Tieying, thank you. Sister-in-law is fine now. Did you get scared? I'll come to see you when sister-in-law is out of confinement!"

"Sister-in-law, I also saw my mother feeding my brother when I was a child. I want to ask, are you... If so, this is not a big deal at all. My uncle is here. Let me feel your pulse and go back to let my uncle prescribe a prescription for you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hua immediately opened her eyes and tried to get up. Bai Tieying hurriedly held her down and told her to just lie down and talk.
