Kaoru sat on the ground blankly, looking at me who was concentrating on flipping through someone else's mother and child handbook. February 13 In the morning, while feeding Kaoru, the music I heard in my dream last time came again.Come to buy, come to buy, the tone of the music is so low-key soliciting.I held Kaoru in my arms and looked out from the entrance.In the morning sun, a small white truck slowly drove up.When I just stood there looking around at the entrance, I met the eyes of the female driver of the pickup truck passing by.The pickup truck stopped.The woman poked her face out of the open car window and said, "Welcome to buy."

"If you have a baby, you must buy pesticide-free ones. It's really different. Tomatoes and carrots are both old-fashioned." With a triangular scarf on her head and no makeup applied, she looks like a good-tempered round-faced woman Get out of the driver's seat and open the back door of the pickup truck.It looks like an ordinary pickup truck, but inside it is modified like a mini store.The colorful vegetables, the meat in the refrigerator, and the boxed snacks that you have never even seen before attract your attention in an instant. "Come on, welcome to take a look. You can also try it. Wow, what a cute baby. How old is it? Wow, I laughed. So cute." She picked up Kaoru from my arms, and put her on the sunny sidewalk. Kaoru raised her hands high to tease her.

"Oh, but this, it should be a rash." The woman's voice made me leave the pickup truck in a hurry. "Look, this place. It's all red, and here too." She tore open the neckline of the jumpsuit Kaoru was wearing, examining Kaoru's skin.From what she said, although it is not at the level of urticaria, there are indeed many small red spots.I didn't notice it in the shower last night. "There are still people living here. Are you using tap water? There are not many residents in this area, and the water quality is also very bad." I took Kaoru from the woman and lifted Kaoru's sweater to check her stomach and back.Small red dots appear only around the neck.

"This is the best water for cooking and drinking. In the future, even water will cost money." She stooped into the pickup truck, got out with a plastic bottle, and showed me the half-filled bottle .I almost made a sound in surprise.The label says Angelwater. "Just drink it once as if you've been cheated. The taste is completely different, and the most important thing is that your physical fitness will be greatly improved in just three days." The woman said while pouring water into a plastic cup and handing it to me.I took it with one hand and tasted it with trepidation.It is indeed quite different from tap water.The taste is smooth and slightly sweet.But how did Kang Zhi come over?Suspicious group.Coax to join.

"Of course it is impossible to buy this kind of water to take a bath, but just a short walk away, there is a public bathhouse called Baotang, why don't you go and take a bath several times a week? Until the baby's bumps disappear. Maybe it will be better than this The water quality in this area is good. If you don’t mind it, I’ll give you this bottle. Try it. I often go around this area, so call me if you need anything.”
