Chapter 6
I am Turi. 6 years old.
I have a 5-year-old sister, Mine.
Mine has straight scarlet hair like the night sky and golden eyes like a moon. From my sister’s view, it’s very cute.
Because I’m always sick and have a fever, I can’t eat much rice, so it doesn’t get big. Because I can’t go out so much, my skin is white.
It’s very cute, but I’m sorry that I can’t play together. Other children are playing with their brothers and sisters, so they become enviable.
Mine got a lot of heat during this time. Perhaps the fever continued as if I thought I would die, and the whole family was worried. Mine was so weak that she couldn’t eat rice for about three days and couldn’t drink water.
Maybe Mine became a little crazy with the heat.
Talking about the fever, I don’t know why I suddenly got angry or suddenly got out of bed while I was going to wash the dishes Keep crying and keep crying all day …
At that time, is it still hot and painful? I thought, but when the heat fell, Mine became more strange.
Because your body is uncomfortable, you say you want me to wipe it off.
If you are boiling water when making rice, you want hot water.
That too every day!
Mine wets the cloth every day and wipes her body. He said, “Help me because there are some things that I can’t reach by myself.”
On the first day, the hot spring water was very dirty, but after three days, the hot water remained clean.
“Isn’t it wasteful to use hot water when it’s almost dirty?”
“It’s dirty, so it’s not a waste”
Whatever you say, Mine is particular about wiping her body every day. Before long, a corner of the bedroom became a bathing area for Mine.
And, for some reason, I try to wipe me up to help. Even if I say “I’m fine”, I’ll scrub my face with a cloth. “Turi goes outside, so it ’s more dirty than me.”
Certainly, the clean water after wiping the mine was cloudy and dirty after me. It makes me feel uncomfortable when I can show off my dirt.
However, Mine smiles with a smile. “If you use it together, is n’t it useless?”.
How can I know that it is wasteful to use hot water every day?
Bringing a glass of water from a well is very difficult, but how do you know?
Then I suddenly tied my hair.
Since Mine’s hair is straight, it can be easily unwound and fall off. So until now, it wasn’t tied.
The attempt to tie again failed several times, and Mine, who was inflated, suddenly began to fish in the toy cage. From there, I brought a doll-my treasure-that my father made by cutting wood and my mother made clothes.
“Turi. Can I fold it?”
“That’s the doll’s foot! Mine, terrible!”
A younger sister who says that she can “fold” the doll ’s legs in a plain manner. Too bad.
When I got angry, Mine slammed her bangs and exhaled, screaming “I’m sorry”. A five-year-old habit of strangely colored gestures, breathes unintentionally.
“Turi wants a stick like this. What should I do?”
I wanted Mine not a doll’s foot, but a wooden stick. If so, I can make a little bit of the wood collected for firewood. Before breaking the doll, I cut it with a knife and made a thin stick.
There are many orders, such as a little narrower tip here, or a little round here so as not to point too much, but it seems that Mine was satisfied.
“Thank you, Turi”
Mine suddenly stabbed her head with the stick she received with a great smile.
“Mine !?”
In front of me, Mine wraps her hair around a wooden stick that looks like a stab, and twists it. My hair tied up with a stick to see what happened.
I was surprised that the hair stopped like the magic used by aristocrats, but I was surprised that Mine’s hairstyle was an adult hairstyle.
“Mine, no. It’s not just adults who raise all their hair”
“… That’s right”
After rounding his eyes as if he had never known, Mine pulled out a wooden stick from his hair. At that moment, the hair can be loosened.
After that, only the upper half was rolled up with a stick and screwed in the same way as before.
“Is this good?”
“I think it’s good”
Then, Mine always tied her hair with a wooden stick. If you look from the front, it looks like you have a stick in your head.
Yes, yesterday, my mother was absent from work, so I was able to go to the forest with everyone for the first time in a while.
I picked up salmon, collected a lot of wood beauty and salmon, and a lot of medicinal herbs for seasoning meat. All the children who went with them are working hard because it is necessary for winter preparations.
I hope Mine gets well soon and can come to the forest together.
“It’s right now”
“Welcome, Turi”
“What did you get? Show me, show me”
When I got home, I looked into the cage with an unusual face. I brought it back during this time, but it was a strange mine.
“This! Give me this!”
Mine shined her eyes and took out the fruit of the meriya from the cage. I don’t want Mine to do anything like this, so I gave her two fruits.
“Thank you, Turi”
Mine walked into the storeroom and cheered back with a smile like an angel.
“Mine, why …”
At the moment I called out, Mine suddenly aimed at the knives and shook the hammer.
Go! It sounds dull and busha! So the knitted smashed and played.
Pissy soup is also flying to me.
“……”
“……”
When you hit the hammer, naturally, the flesh and juice will scatter around you?
You understand that much without thinking?
“Hey, Maine, what are you doing?”
み る Try to laugh with a smile without wiping the juice splashed on your face.
ぅ Mine jumped out with a scream.
“… Well, ne, I want oil”
I looked up asking for help with an expression that I did it.
This face is a face that I never thought would scatter when crushed with a hammer.
“Even if you take oil, how do you get it ?! What are you doing?”
“That’s right …”
Is n’t it okay, is this child really okay?
During this time, I remember squeezing together the oil of Vice.
Maybe I was crazy because of too much heat!
…… Should I consult my mother?
After that, the mother who had a hard time cleaning and went to the well to prepare for dinner returned and was angry.
My sister is in a bad position because she is angry with me even though Mine has done it. At times like this, Mine doesn’t seem cute at all.
“Turi, Turi. How do you get rid of oil? Tell me?”
My mom is angry and Mine secretly comes to ask me.
You can see the whole thing. Look, my mom looked over here.
“Mom, can I tell Mine?”
“Huh, if you don’t tell me properly, it’s going to be hard. From now on, let me know”
The mom pointed to the storeroom saying so.
Since all the tools and cloths for squeezing oil are in the storeroom, I will go to the storeroom with Mine and tell me.
“… The kitchen’s wooden base is soaked with oil and juice, so don’t use it. Just put this metal base on it. First spread the cloth properly. If you don’t wrap it, it will scatter. “
Meli can eat fruits, so usually squeeze oil from the seeds after eating. But Mine doesn’t give up because she has real oil.
Mine is happily swinging the hammer, but her aim is sweet, her strength is weak, her waist is low, so the seeds are not crushed at all.
In addition, after crushing the seeds completely, I squeeze the cloth, but it is not squeezed at all by the power of Mine.
“Mine, that’s not good. Seeds aren’t crushed?”
“Wow … Turi -…”
Mine looks up with a sad face, so I decided to help.
When I received the hammer from Mine, it was already sticky and slimy with juice, and when it was shaken, it seemed to slip out.
I wiped the hammer with a sigh and grabbed it.
“Crush the seeds like this …”
If you don’t use a hammer, you can use a weight for squeezing, so it collapses quite easily. If this weight can be used, the boy will be entrusted with full-scale hard work. We are heavy and unusable, but we can only crush them little by little with a hammer.
“Squeeze cloth like this …”
“Wow! Turi is amazing!”
Mine who is delighted to see the oil squeezed into a pot and a small vessel is cute. But my arms hurt so much.
“Thank you, Turi”
“Mine, don’t tidy up. See, tidy up.”
¡Teach away the tools while teaching how to clear the eggs, so that you don’t know how to tidy up.
病 Because it’s sick and small, it looks like it’s much smaller than the real year and it’s easy to forget, but Mine is already five years old. When she is seven years old, she must receive a baptismal ceremony at the temple and start work as an apprentice.
Otherwise, I will be 7 years old next year. Isn’t it okay if you start apprenticeship and Mine will do more than half of your home help, but you don’t know how to use the tool?
There will be no place to hire the current Mine if you do not help me while looking at the physical condition.
Talk to my mom to stop pampering and tell her as an older sister.
“Turi. Please give medicinal herbs”
“A little?”
“Yeah!”
Mine put some scents of the herbs from the persimmon while picking them with a serious face.
Perhaps the scent has been transferred, but some of the medicinal herbs that Mine put in have a smell that you don’t want to eat with things you use to repel insects.
Wow … Isn’t it better to use it for dinner before the scent is completely transferred?
Immediately trying to use kellia oil for dinner, Mine stopped in desperate form.
“Turri! Damme! What are you doing?”
“If I don’t eat it early, I can’t use it. If this scent moves too much, you can’t eat it?”
“Do not eat!”
No matter what I say, Mine just shakes her head and tries to hide the oiled vessel. When I looked at my mother in trouble, she was angry.
“Mine! That’s what Turi has taken! Don’t tell me!”
“It’s not my self! Turi gave me!”
No matter how angry my mom is, I don’t listen.
When I was alone with my mom and let go of whatever it was, Mine said she wanted hot water as usual.
However, Mine suddenly put the oil into half a bowl and started to stir. If this happens, I can’t eat anymore. I took it from the forest!
“Mine! What are you doing?”
“Huh? Do you wash your hair?”
I don’t know what Mine is saying. In recent days, this has increased.
In front of me looking down, Mine dipped her hair into her hair and started to wash it.
洗 Wash the part soaked with jab jab and put it on your head many times by hand. After repeating until he was convinced, Mine wipes his head with a cloth while squeezing the hair.
After wiping over and over again, when I put a comb, Mine’s scarlet hair suddenly became shiny and began to shine.
“… what is this?”
“N ,” Simple Chan Rinshan “”
“Huh?”
“Do you use Turi? Isn’t it useless if you use it together?”
Suddenly I saw that Mine was suddenly beautiful, so I wanted to use it.
I want to be beautiful too.
However, it was a bit awkward because I was angry about Mine a lot.
However, Mine told me “Turi’s meliya and medicinal herbs, and squeezed it’s also …”
Speaking of which, aren’t I all prepared for this?
When I unravel the braid, I put my hair in the bag and wash it as Mine did. Mine also got hands in and washed many places that were difficult to reach with small hands.
“I think this is all right?”
I wiped it with a cloth many times and put a comb into it, and my hair became slippery like Mine. My hair was always moist and fluffy and my combs didn’t pass.
As if impressed with the magical finish,
“It’s really beautiful. Turi, good smell”
Saying so, Mine is putting a comb in my hair happily for some reason.
‘I ’m really happy to be beautiful, but why does Mine know this?
I think Mine has become strange after all.
From now on, I’m a little scared when I think it will change every time I give off heat.
…… But, when Mine tried to get rid of her bag, when I saw her mother hurry and stopped, I was just looking forward to seeing what she did next.
