Chapter 12
“A little to the left. To the left.”
San Bao looked around on tiptoes and said confidently.
“No, it should be to the right.”
Si Bao kept jumping. He was shorter, and the sky was completely dark. Although there were torches, the light above the window was still insufficient, so he could not see clearly.
“Left, left, right, right. It’s all wrong!”
Tang Tang also clapped her hands and joined in the fun.
Fortunately, Mo Ruyue was not disturbed by the babies. She calculated the correct angle and direction by the angle of her arm, the window frame, and the ground. While she was adjusting, Da Bao was actually able to move in sync with her accurately, which was out of her expectations.
After successfully replacing one window paper, the time needed to use the second one was greatly reduced. It took almost half the time needed to change the first window.
Next, Mo Ruyue took out a nail and a hammer, stepped on the stool, and nailed it a few times on the window, hanging the white curtain with blue flowers.
Once these two curtains were hung up, the room suddenly appeared a lot more simple and elegant. Without the night wind entering through the window, the babies could clearly feel that the room had become warm.
Mo Ruyue dusted off the dust on her hands and nodded in satisfaction at the results of her and her babies’ joint efforts.
The house was meant to be lived in, and it had to be tidied up to be pleasing to the eye. Only then would it be comfortable to live in.
She turned around and looked at the little babies. Their excitement had passed, and their eyelids began to feel heavy, especially Tang Tang, who had fallen asleep near the kang.
“Alright, all of you go wash up before going to bed. Tomorrow, we’ll have to dig out the floor in front and behind the house. No one can sleep in.”
Mo Ruyue clapped her hands and urged the babies to get to work. She personally walked over and carefully picked up Tang Tang, preparing to help her wash her.
Da Bao had already boiled a pot of water, and it was still warm enough for the babies to wash up. Before they went to wash up, each of them received two coarse cloth towels of different colors.
“One for your face and one for your feet. You can’t use it wrong, and don’t take someone else’s by mistake.”
This was the leftover material that Mo Ruyue had bought from the cloth shop for a penny. She had used a pair of scissors to cut it into a dozen pieces of the same size, just for the babies.
Now that the family had bought enough rice, grains, oil, and salt to eat, and Mo Ruyue could go into the mountains to hunt wild animals to improve their lives at any time, their food and clothing were already guaranteed. The next step was to cultivate good hygiene habits. Not only was it not good for their health, but people would also dislike them if they were always dirty like this.
Since Mo Ruyue was already prepared to take care of the five babies to live on, she would naturally let them grow up healthy and lively without worrying about food and clothing. Perhaps God had seen that she was doing good and accumulated virtue and sent her back out of kindness.
The few boys nudged each other and winked at each other. Their eyes rolled around, and they didn’t know what to think. They suddenly laughed and were glared at by Mo Ruyue. Then they obediently lined up to wash up.
When the babies finally finished washing up and got into bed, Mo Ruyue went to the kitchen and entered the dimensional space again.
This time, what greeted her was a green sprout.
The flower seeds that she had planted after dinner had already broken out of the soil.
The growth of the seedlings on the two sides was completely different. The one on the left was close to maturity, and if one looked carefully, one could vaguely see a small bud, while the one on the right was only a finger and a half tall.
However, regardless of whether it was on the left or right side, although there was a bonus ingredient with the fast flow of time, the speed of the emergence and growth of the seedlings could also be said to be extremely amazing.
As for the herbs that had been planted, they were even more luxuriant than before they had been picked, especially those that had been watered with the spring water. Their leaves had a faint layer of luster, and even the medicinal fragrance was much stronger than before.
Wild herbs were much more effective than man-made ones. Mo Ruyue had a feeling that the herbs that were watered with spring water in the space would be even more magical and effective.
She picked some herbs that were good for the body and Qi, as well as for the blood and fortifications. She was going to make a pot of medicinal cuisine every day starting tomorrow. Of course, she and the babies had to eat separately. The dosage that was suitable for her was too much for them. It was not a good thing to have too much nourishment.
The newly-added bottles and jars in the kitchen were arranged very neatly. Mo Ruyue also switched the bottles of seasoning she took out from the dimensional space and mixed some in. Anyway, she was basically the one cooking now, so she was not afraid that the babies would notice anything wrong.
She opened the bags of the grain and vegetable seeds she had just bought and counted some of them. She was going to plant them in her space, and the rest would be planted tomorrow after she had tilled the ground.
Da Bao was a capable person. He took care of almost everything in an orderly manner and did not give Mo Ruyue many opportunities to show off. She only took the seeds into the space and planted them, and there was nothing else she had to do.
Just as she was about to leave and return to the woodshed to boil water and wash up, she suddenly felt the space shake again. This time, it was not the ground that was shaking but the mushroom house not far away.
Mo Ruyue knew that this shaking would definitely cause some changes, so she walked into the mushroom house to take a look.
It used to be an open kitchen, but it had now become a living room. The open kitchen was still in the middle of the mushroom house, and a door suddenly appeared on the wall beside it.
There was a gilded copper handle on the door, also in the shape of a mushroom, and it looked very cute.
Mo Ruyue walked up to open the door and found that it led to a very luxurious bathroom.
In addition to a shower area where one could stand and sit, there was also a jacuzzi large enough for one to swim in and even a sauna. As for the other bath supplies, they were also available.
She tried to touch it. Except for a bathrobe, a towel, and a bar of scented soap, all the other shampoos, shower gels, and creams were not available.
It seemed that her thought of taking a bath just now had only triggered the appearance of the bathroom, but the conditions to unlock the other utilities had not been met.
Mo Ruyue waved her hand at a place that seemed to be a sensory area. Immediately, a water column poured down from above. The temperature was just enough to make the skin feel warm and comfortable. There was no need to manually adjust the temperature.
She immediately took off her clothes and changed into a bathrobe. Then, she placed the clothes in the washing machine in the drying area and simply adjusted the washing and drying settings. Then, she went back to take a hot shower.
She could only boil some hot water to wipe her body these few days and felt that her body was already covered in a layer of oil and mud. She was almost unable to breathe. Even if she only had scented soap, she could still clean herself.
After taking a hot shower, Mo Ruyue felt much more refreshed. She took her dried clothes out of the dryer and quickly put them on again before leaving the space.
