Childhood was gone without a trace, colorful and colorful. Little rabbit in the clouds, Chang 'e, Shangren Yue. Blowing soap bubbles in the day, counting the stars in the night sky. It was difficult to return to the childish fun and make the heart pure.
It was a new day. The sky was blue, and a few white clouds were floating slowly.
The dew condensed on the leaves at night had not yet dispersed, but the sound of cicadas could be heard.
The temperature was still very high. The students were not in a hurry to eat after waking up early. They looked for a place to study.
When the children were all up, they ate together and then taught the children.
It was not only the children in Zhuangzi, but also the children in the Imperial Plantation, the Zhang Family Village, and the migrant workers' children. The 220 students took turns to distribute the food.
The children woke up relatively late. They would only get up at seven in the morning. Otherwise, they would always be sleepy. They wished they could sleep for 12 hours a day.
However, the children in the Imperial Plantation woke up early today. They all got up at seven in the morning.
Some of them had told their parents last night that they would wake up today because Dongzhu said there was something good to play with.
After getting up and tidying up, they ate absent-mindedly.
After eating, there was still some time. Li Yi brought over the soap bubbles prepared for the children.
There were small bamboo tubes with various circles made of bamboo.
There was a row of small circles on a thin bamboo pole. There were individual circles without bamboo tubes, for fear that the children would accidentally stick it in their throats.
Li Yi personally demonstrated. He put a single small circle into the bamboo tube.
He took it out and gently blew it. A series of colorful soap bubbles appeared and slowly flew in the sky.
He dipped it in the soap water again. This time, he blew it even more gently. A large bubble appeared and connected to the bamboo circle.
Li Yi shook it and the large bubble floated towards a little fellow.
The little fellow opened his hand and grabbed forward. The soap bubble burst. The little fellow's face was splashed with water, but he smiled happily.
Li Yi continued to demonstrate. This time, he did not blow. He turned his arm and soap bubbles appeared.
The bamboo pole was dipped in soap water for many circles. A pile of soap bubbles appeared with a shake.
"Okay, each person has a bamboo tube. Go and fill it with soap water. Don't fill it too full." Li Yi stopped playing and shouted.
The children lined up to take the bamboo tubes. There was a large trough next to them. The trough was filled with soap water and a small spoon.
The little ones knew how to fiddle with it. One by one, they squatted there and pretended. The older ones even helped the younger ones.
Then, a large group of children held a bamboo tube in each of their hands. They laughed and competed to see who could blow the biggest and most bubbles.
Some of the children blew with all their might, but there wasn't even a single bubble.
There were even some that were shaking. Their speed was really fast. All the soap water was thrown out, but there were still no bubbles.
He accidentally threw the bamboo tube out, spilled it on his body, and splashed it into the air to see if there would be a bunch of bubbles …
Li Yi shook his head. This was Zhuangzi's soap. If he were to buy it, it would all cost money.
Other than soap, glycerin, and tea leaves, the cost was also included.
If you don't add glycerin, you'll have to add sugar.
She mixed a large vat of water, and was afraid that the children would fall in, so the adults scooped the water into the trough.
"Bamboo is unlucky again," Li Yi muttered with a smile.
He was going to sell a set of bubbles. There was a small bamboo tube and a large bamboo tube inside.
It was easy for a child to spill the bamboo tube. The small one would be given to the child, and when it was used up, the big one would be given to the child.
The whole set was 4 RMB. In the future, he would fill it with soap water. The big one would cost 2 RMB.
He also allowed others to fill the bamboo tube with the good stuff they made. That way, he could save 2 RMB.
When the villagers saw the children having fun, some of them even revealed a melancholy expression.
Then, they also took a small tube and filled it with soap water. After blowing a big bubble, they looked at the bubbles flying up and were lost in thought.
Li Yi smiled and turned to leave.
That afternoon, buckets of soap water were sent to the place where there were swimming, butt ball, and merry-go-round in Chang 'an City.
The villager told them how to collect the money and then left them alone.
The children who had two hours of lessons in the afternoon ran to the merry-go-round after school and discovered something new when they played.
It was still the same as before. The children from the rich families asked the adults to buy the bubbles for them, while the poor children chased after the bubbles and blew them with their mouths.
A clever child took a straw and rolled it into a circle to catch the bubbles from others. After catching the bubbles, he could blow them again.
The sun moved slowly. Under the sunset glow, the bubbles danced in the air amidst the laughter of the children.
"This thing has no other use other than to play with it." Yao Chong, who knew that there was a new toy, deliberately came to the canal in the East City.
The merry-go-round on the canal spun, accompanied by the floating of the soap bubbles. The surrounding area became a playground for the children.
"Why didn't anyone make such a toy when I was young?"
Lu Huaishen was envious. Now, he couldn't compete with the other children to play with it.
Zhang Shuai said, "It's better than the Smashing Cannon. The Smashing Cannon is more expensive.
A big bamboo tube of soap water only costs 2 RMB. It's about the same as the cost.
Besides, that's soap water. Children like to use their hands to catch it. When they stop playing, they can wash their hands and their hands will be cleaner. "
"Sigh!" Yao Chong sighed.
He wanted Li Yi to give him a suggestion to speed up the production of the mats. Today, King Song deliberately came to look for him.
It was actually to make a large loom. It was so simple.
That's right. Weaving was weaving, so was making mats. Why didn't he think of it?
Lu Huaishen reached out and caught a bubble. "Yuanzhi is still thinking about the mats? Most people can't bear to spend money to make them.
The Whirlwind Cannon and Wooden Feather Arrows are still the best. From now on, no firecrackers can be bought. They have to be used in the military.
As for the Wooden Feather Arrows, he specifically mentioned that there must be some rust at the back of the arrowhead to avoid offending Li Yi … "
Lu Huaishen reminded Yao Chong not to go overboard. Otherwise, Li Yi would have to make a move.
Everyone knew that rusty knives and arrows couldn't be healed easily.
If the wound was too deep, it was more or less time to prepare for the funeral.
There was nothing to be done. The wound would swell, and pus would seep out. The body would heat up, convulse, and be unable to move or breathe until death.
Many of the people who died on the battlefield actually died after being injured. Those who were able to survive were those who were lucky.
Yao Chong pursed his lips and said softly, "Yes, to our own people, I don't think it's too cruel."
Zhang Shuo, who was easily amused, felt like bursting into laughter. However, he controlled himself and quickly changed the topic.
"Li Yi even brought up a method to treat injuries on the battlefield. We already know how to stitch them up.
There's also soap and water, as well as alcohol.
King Song intends to bring a few Non-commissioned Officer to the prison to treat those who are injured and have pus seeping out of their wounds.
He said that he would treat them, but in truth, he wanted the Non-commissioned Officer to learn how to treat them. However, would King Song know how to treat them? The people in prison are going to suffer. "
Zhang Shuo mentioned Li Chengqi. Li Chengqi brought back alcohol and soap today.
There was also a small knife. He said that it was a steamed needle and thread, and he wanted to practice medicine in the prison.
Yao Chong's lips twitched. "Send someone to keep a close eye on them. If King Song is used to treating patients, those in prison might be intentionally injured to curry favor with King Song."
"I've already sent someone over." Lu Huaishen had already thought of it.
Those in prison were the ones who were black-hearted. If they were injured, they would let King Song take a look. If they were injured, they would let King Song take a look.
Those in prison who didn't deserve to die would hate King Song and tarnish King Song's reputation.
They had to inform King Song beforehand. Whoever made a move would be implicating King Song.
Only by spreading the word would those in prison be grateful to King Song.
