At a glance, only Xiao He and Wang Yan appeared neat and tidy. The other children seemed to have been brought over by helpers; some had dirty little faces, while a few had runny noses that were almost dripping into their mouths. When the snot got too close, they would suck it back up with a forceful inhale.
Some of them were dressed in patched clothes, while others had dark, shiny outfits that looked like they had been worn for ages.
Each time the snotty children made that slurping sound, the few adults around felt a tightness in their chests, as if they feared the snot would splatter onto them.
Yu Suihuan could no longer stand it. She got up, filled a basin with hot water, and grabbed a towel. "You all, come here and wash your faces! Do it yourselves!"
Some of the kids had dried snot stuck to their faces, and Yu Suihuan couldn't bear to look at it any longer. "You all help them wash up!"
Despite her laid-back demeanor and lack of skills, she was quite adept at directing others. She didn’t want to deal with the snot herself, so after giving instructions, she slipped back inside the house.
Before long, she emerged with Xue Zhuang Gao and some tissues. "Alright, line up after you wash your faces. You, come here!"
Yu Suihuan sat on a small stool, her height almost level with the children. She pointed at a timid-looking boy and beckoned him over. The little boy dared not meet Yu Suihuan's gaze; shyly, he approached and stopped just a step away from her.
"Come on! Do I look that scary?"
Leaning forward, Yu Suihuan took the boy's small hand and pulled him into her embrace. She took a piece of Xue Zhuang Gao and applied it evenly on his face.
The little boy stood quietly without a word, allowing Yu Suihuan to pat his small face gently.
"Keep these tissues in your pocket. If you have a runny nose later, don’t wipe it with your hand; use the tissues instead, alright? This candy is a reward for being good!"
Yu Suihuan stuffed a stack of tissues and a few pieces of candy into the boy's pocket and gave his head a gentle pat before saying, "Next!"
The little ones saw that not only could they get cleaned up nicely but also receive candy as a treat.
One by one, they all cooperated, and before long, the originally pitch-black little faces were all clean.
As the sky gradually brightened, more villagers arrived to help. Yu Suihuan, Yu Songbai, and Wang Yan became the leaders of the children, leading the little ones in the courtyard to play a game of Eagle Catching Chicks.
Yu Qingsong, Wang Zhaoran, and Yu Yu Mu formed the ranks of the Two Grandmas' soldiers. Wherever the Little Old Lady pointed, they would strike.
In truth, they hardly needed to do anything; the villagers' enthusiasm far exceeded theirs. Without needing any instructions, they completed their tasks with great zeal.
"Oh my goodness, look at all this meat! What kind of wild game is this?"
As soon as the storeroom was opened, the women gasped in astonishment.
"Zhang the Butcher, go home and get your knife!"
There were whole sides of pigs, cows, and sheep—how could they manage without a big knife? Not to mention there was plenty of wild game as well.
"Alright then, I’ll head back right now!"
Zhang the Butcher was excited too; this was so much better than what they usually had to eat—how could he not be thrilled? With that, he swaggered out of the courtyard, his demeanor resembling that of a victorious general.
