Zhang Ruolin disliked the quilt underneath, reached out and pinched it, it was really not ordinary hard, such a hard quilt, such a hard quilt was not warm at all.

Turn around and send it to the bamboo pole outside to dry.

Go back to the room.

Zhang Ruolin looked at the straw stacked under the bed, raised her eyebrows, pulled up a few straws and quickly wrapped them around her hand, and soon wound them into a straw rope nearly two meters long.

Looking at the straw rope in her hand, Zhang Ruolin's eyes felt a little incredible, but she also knew that it was just a memory left by her body.

Put the straw rope on the ground, Zhang Ruolin cleaned up the straw on the bed and tied it up on the rope.

Glancing at the old lady Zhao standing at the door with a straight face, Zhang Ruolin twisted a bundle of straw and walked towards the corner of the yard where the straw was stacked.

After pulling a big sleepy straw, Zhang Ruolin carried it back to the room and spread it on the bed smoothly.

Twist up the large wooden basin and place it in the doorway.

Zhang Ruolin picked up the wet clothes placed on the table and threw them in the wooden basin.

Boil a pot of hot water and soak the clothes.

Zhang Ruolin took a shovel and shoveled some straw ash from the bottom of the pot and threw it in.

As for soap and washing clothes, there is no memory of the original owner at all, and the only one who knows how to wash clothes is soap horns.

For example, winter clothes are soaked in plant ash and then washed with porridge pulp.

It took more than an hour to rub the clothes that fell into the water yesterday.

Looking at the water in the wooden basin that was blacker than the stinky ditch, Zhang Ruolin twitched the corners of her mouth, twisted the bamboo basket and mallet, and walked towards the stream outside the village.

"The second pillar is his daughter-in-law, and the second pillar is his daughter-in-law. ”

"Erzhu and his daughter-in-law, didn't you hear me shouting. ”

Zhang Ruolin stopped, looked at the woman standing at the gate of the courtyard not far away, smiled, and asked, "Auntie, is there something?"

"What's going on? Are you alright?"

"It's fine. ”

"Come over here. ”

Zhang Ruolin walked over, "Auntie, is there something?"

Chen Yulan looked at Zhang Ruolin, who was wearing a single dress, "Girl, isn't it cold to wear so little?"

Zhang Ruolin smiled.

Chen Yulan snorted, they are all from the same village, what Zhang Ruolin has experienced over the years, of course they see it in their eyes, not to mention that Zhao Daqian's family is not a thing.

"I was supposed to tell you yesterday, but I didn't expect you to fall into the water, and I didn't have time to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Your second pillar is not dead, he has news. ”

Zhang Ruolin trembled when she heard this, and suddenly remembered a tall figure in her mind, but the face was not at all, the original owner just glanced at him, even if he wrote it down, he would have forgotten it after so many years.

"Auntie, how do you know?"

Chen Yulan sighed deeply and looked at Zhang Ruolin, "I know you don't know, this Zhao Daqian family is too bad, and they won't even tell you about it." ”

"My brother didn't come here yesterday, he also went to the town some time ago to listen to his friend accidentally talk about it, and he told me this yesterday. ”

Zhang Ruolin let out an "oh" and raised her eyebrows slightly, she really didn't expect that Zhao Erzhu, who had been missing for so many years, and thought that he had sacrificed it, actually had news.

"I heard that Erzhu sent three hundred yuan back. ”

"Three hundred?"

Zhang Ruolin was really surprised to hear this amount, the original owner didn't know about today's prices, but the information she consulted from modern times, three hundred yuan was not a small amount.

Ten yuan can make a decent banquet, but nowadays, due to the particularity of prices, some things cannot be compared according to modern prices.

But these 300 yuan is almost equal to 50,000 or 60,000 in modern times.

Zhao Erzhu was a soldier, if she remembered correctly, the country has been a soldier in the past two years, and only those who have been soldiers have been paid, but they didn't have a penny of salary before.

In other words, these 300 yuan were saved by Zhao Erzhu in the past two years.

Chen Yulan said "um", and said with a somewhat envious smile: "You girl is bitter, three hundred! This is not a small amount, and at a glance, you can see that this kid Erzhu is mixing well in the army." ”

Zhang Ruolin smiled, "Auntie, I'll wash my clothes." ”

"Go, go!"

Zhang Ruolin, who had just turned around, turned her head and asked, "Auntie, do you know when Erzhu will come back?"

"I know this, but Erzhu wrote a letter to his father, and the letter must have said it. ”

Zhang Ruolin let out an "oh", "When did it happen?"

"Half a year ago. ”

"Thank you, auntie. ”

Walking all the way to the edge of the stream, Zhang Ruolin felt a little complicated in her heart, feeling sorry for the original owner, after all, after guarding the old Zhao family for so many years, it was unsatisfactory to wait until her man was about to come back, but she didn't expect the fragrance to disappear.

As for her?

Zhang Ruolin hasn't thought about it so much for the time being.

At the very least, we have to wait until this man comes back and understands his personality before making a decision.

If it is suitable, it will make do with life, after all, it is a soldier, and this marriage can also be guaranteed.

And she also has a sincere affection for soldiers, but she has no contact with such people around her, and she has no chance to meet them.

However, this old Zhao and his family are too much, the news has been transmitted back for half a year, if the aunt tells her today, she has been hiding it in her bones.

Zhang Ruolin squatted down, took out the clothes in the basket and put them on the stone on the side.

picked up a piece of clothing and posed it in the water, Zhang Ruolin gasped, it was really not ordinary cold.

Putting it on the stone and rubbing it, Zhang Ruolin picked up the mallet and hammered it down.

Frowning slightly, I felt a little strange, Zhao Erzhu didn't die, the news came half a year ago, why did the old Zhao and his family hide it?

There is no need to hide this kind of thing, and she will know about it sooner or later anyway.

What do they mean by hiding it from her?

Is it because of the three hundred?

Three hundred yuan went into the pockets of their old couple, and according to the original owner's hard-working and honest character, it was impossible to ask them for this money.

But why is that?

Zhang Ruolin shook her head, she really didn't understand what the reason was.
