Chapter 237: Roommate Don’t Come Over: I’m 4 Years Old
Li Xiaoyao was like a hardworking little bee. She took out some clean clothes from the closet, and then led Ye Jiaotang to the small house next to the woodshed.
However, when Ye Jiaotang stepped into the room, his eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet and were instantly fixed on the large bathtub in the room.
His eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment, and his words became stammering: "How...how do I wash this?"
Li Xiaoyao said casually, "Just wash like this. Just scoop out the water and pour it over your body like a waterfall."
"Brother Ye, there's no shower at home. I'm sorry to bother you. I'll go get you some hot water."
Ye Jiaotang replied with difficulty: "...Okay."
After a while, Li Xiaoyao came into the bathroom carrying two buckets of water, one bucket of hot water and one bucket of cold water, and poured them into the bathtub.
After repeatedly adding water several times, Li Xiaoyao finally said with a sense of relief: "Brother Ye, you wash it, I'll go out first."
"Oh, and if the water gets cold, remember to add hot water from the bucket."
Ye Jiaotang nodded and said, "Okay."
Because he had to do it himself, Ye Jiaotang went through a long baptism.
After Ye Jiaotang finished washing, Li Xiaoyao started to take a bath himself.
Ye Jiaotang volunteered, "Let me help you."
Li Xiaoyao shook his head, pointed at his wet hair, and said with a smile: "Ye Dao, go back to the room and blow dry your hair first. I put the hair dryer on the bedside table."
After saying that, Li Xiaoyao pointed at the chubby little boy who was hiding behind the door not far away. His face had turned into a little cat's. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Ye, if you want to help me, please help me take care of my brother. Don't let him cause trouble in the kitchen, otherwise the kitchen will become a battlefield."
Ye Jiaotang: "Okay."
Ye Jiaotang walked up to the little fat boy, stretched out his hand and said, "Little one, follow me."
The little fat boy blinked his big eyes and looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then extended his hand.
Ye Jiaotang took Li Xiaoyao back to the house, picked up the hair dryer and started to blow his hair.
The little fat boy circled around him curiously, reaching out to catch the hot air from the hair dryer from time to time.
Ye Jiaotang smiled helplessly, then turned the hair dryer to the lowest setting, letting the little fat boy feel the warm wind. The little fat boy giggled with joy.
Ye Jiaotang: "Your name is Xiaomai, right? How old are you?"
Li Xiaomai stretched out four chubby fingers and answered in a baby voice, "Big brother, I'm four years old."
Ye Jiaotang: "You're four years old now. Have you gone to kindergarten yet?"
Li Xiaomai looked bewildered, blinking her big, innocent eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Big brother, what is kindergarten?"
Ye Jiaotang was stunned when he heard this. Doesn’t this kid even know about kindergarten?
"Then have your parents told you when they will send you to school?" Ye Jiaotang continued to ask.
Li Xiaomai grinned, revealing two cute little canine teeth, and said, "My brother said that when I turn six, I can go to preschool. After finishing preschool, I will be a glorious elementary school student."
Ye Jiaotang pursed his lips and thought to himself that he had taken it for granted. The Li family lived in that remote mountainous area, and it might not be easy for them to go to kindergarten.
Ye Jiaotang: "Then when you go to school, big brother will give you a gift."
After hearing this, Li Xiaopangdun's eyes suddenly lit up like stars. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Big brother, can I have a computer?"
Ye Jiaotang was full of questions: "?! You're so young, what do you need a computer for?"
Li Xiaomai sighed helplessly like a little adult and explained, "I wanted to give it to my brother. My neighbor Xiaoyue got into college, so my aunt bought her a computer. But my brother doesn't have one. My father said that we don't have that much money at home, so we can't buy one for him."
Ye Jiaotang smiled and said gently, "This time when we return to school, I will buy your brother a computer. But you must not tell your brother about this. This is a little secret between us."
Li Xiaomai quickly covered her mouth with her hands, as if she was afraid the secret would slip out of her mouth, and swore solemnly, "I absolutely won't tell!"
Ye Jiaotang gently pinched his chubby little face and praised him, "So good."
At this moment, Li Xiaoyao's voice suddenly came from outside the house.
"Brother Ye! Xiaomai! Come out to eat!"
When Li Xiaomai thought about having not only delicious chicken legs but also roast duck today, his eyes sparkled with excitement and he couldn't wait to respond loudly: "Here I come~"
Before he finished speaking, he ran out like a happy little deer, leaving Ye Jiaotang standing there. Looking at his lively and lovely back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
