In the morning, Zhou Sining had a lot of work at home, and she had to wash the dirty clothes that the Zhou family took off. Every morning she has to take a wooden basin of clothes to the river to wash, to the washing process is very simple, at this time her family has no money to buy soap to wash clothes, so washing clothes can only use plant ash, she doesn't care what the big girl used to wash, anyway, this month, she is directly poured clothes to the shore, after soaking, directly sprinkle a handful of plant ash, when the weather is cold, with a mallet casually beaten twice, now the weather is hot, she is not even willing to take the stick, directly with her feet on the top of the two picks on the end.

As for saying that it can't be cleaned, it really doesn't exist, at this time eating meat and oil is a luxury, without these oil stains, what else is on the dirty clothes, just some dust, so she wants her to say that the plant ash can be saved, and it will be done directly after the water.

However, she also knows that she has such a simple way of laundry, and if she lets others see it, she will be talked, so when she washes her clothes, she doesn't go to get together with the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law in the village, but picks a place where no one is around, and leaves after washing at her own speed.

This time, too, it was only half an hour by the river, and she washed all the clothes in a basin, took them home, and wrung them out and hung them on the clothesline tied in the yard.

I went to the backyard to look at the vegetable garden and felt the dampness of the land, which was just watered yesterday morning and should last a few days. So she automatically reduced the burden on herself.

After the work that the family had to do every morning, she was ready to go for another walk in the mountains when she had time.

So he went to the utility room to get his own tools, and went up the mountain with the basket on his back.

Since she knew yesterday that there were scorpions here, and that they could be sold for money, the focus of going up the mountain had changed, and her main task on the mountain now was to catch scorpions, collect firewood and dig wild vegetables.

It took her about an hour to dig over all the stones on a small hill again, and this time she was not as lucky as yesterday, and she caught two, and they were not big, and they were estimated to be worth two cents.

She ran all over the mountains for most of the day, she was really tired, the most important thing was that the harvest was not good, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and she made it to the grass with one butt, panting for breath. There was a raspberry tree right next to it, and she picked a handful and stuffed it into her mouth.

This morning, she was thirsty and anxious, her throat was about to smoke, and the raspberries were delicious at this time, and they were sweet and sour in her mouth, which quenched her thirst.

Zhou Sining was a pity while eating, if only raspberries could be sold for money, there were all over the mountains, so she didn't have to worry about having no money to make.

But this thing is a wild fruit, they have it everywhere here, and no one will buy it when it comes to the market, and it is possible for people in the city to buy some, but this thing is not resistant, and transportation is also a problem.

Zhou Sining thought about it seriously, in fact, if you really want to count on these wild fruits to sell for money, many problems can be overcome. For example, the problem that it does not resist release, that refers to fresh fruit, and there is no such problem when it is turned into dried fruit, preserved fruit, jam and other processed products.

She considered the possibility of picking the wild fruits back for further processing, and finally shook her head. Not to mention anything else, the dried fruit will definitely not work, as long as she takes it back, before it is dried in the sun, those white-eyed wolves will have to eat them all, she is equivalent to working for nothing, and she has to make a stomach.

There are also preserved fruits and jams, all of which need to be sugar, a lot of sugar, and she doesn't have the money to buy sugar now, so it's not okay.

Zhou Sining sat there eating wild fruits to quench her thirst while thinking, thought about it for a while, and finally felt that it was more difficult to take this path than catching scorpions, so she better concentrate and specialize in her eggs and scorpions.

After resting enough, she went to the hill next to her, and turned over for another hour, this time with better luck, she actually got four, two of which were quite large, and in the middle of this, in order to cover up, she also dug a large basket of wild vegetables and picked up a small bundle of firewood, and even the afternoon work was completed ahead of schedule.

After walking two hills, the morning was almost over, she looked up at the sky, quickly packed up her basket, and walked briskly home.

She can't delay cooking at noon, or she will most likely be exposed. If the Zhou family knew that she could catch scorpions and sell them for money, they would not care about her safety, and they would definitely enslave her and let her make money for the family. She just had to be searched by them for how much money she made in private, and her house was so simple that there was no place to hide money, and the Zhou family would be able to search for money eight times a day.

She didn't want to become a money-making tool for the Zhou family, so she couldn't let the Zhou family know about it.

Maybe her resistance had an effect yesterday, or Zhou Juhua was like Li Rucui, and ran to catch up with the market, in short, no one was stopping her when she went home today.

After arriving home, the Zhou family had not come back yet, so Zhou Sining went to the kitchen to hide the six scorpions first, and then began to cook lunch step by step.

Or call sweet potatoes, there is nothing new, pick sweet potatoes and wash sweet potatoes, and then smack, pour all the sweet potatoes into the pot and it's over. The only trouble is to pick wild vegetables and wash wild vegetables, after all, she has to eat them herself, wild vegetables are not clean, and the washing of her teeth is her own scourge, so this life takes a little time.

But fortunately, at noon, she and Zhou Yaosen had dinner, and there was no need to mix too many wild vegetables, she simply picked enough to eat, and the rest of the time was free for a while.

Calling sweet potatoes, she hurried to feed the pigs and chickens, and as soon as she finished it, Zhou Yaosen came back with a hoe.

"Dad, I'm back, I'm tired, my mother is not at home today, I'll go to the field with you in the morning. Zhou Sining hurriedly caught up and reached out to take the hoe on Zhou Yaosen's shoulder.

"What are you going to do, everything that should be planted has been planted, and there is no big work to do, and I will just slip away. Regarding the intimacy of the eldest daughter, Zhou Yaosen didn't say anything, but he was very ironing in his heart.

"Can't I help you slip around, and you can take a few fewer steps. Zhou Sining was afraid that the old man would take it seriously, so he quickly changed the topic, "You do it in the yard, I'll go in and get you some warm water." ”

"No, it's so hot today, just wash it with cold water. Zhou Yaosen felt troublesome.

Zhou Sining was not reluctant, she had just scooped half a pot of water in the kitchen to warm it, which she used when she was preparing to wash the dishes, she was really polite just now, knowing that Zhou Yaosen would definitely not use it. If she was facing Li Rucui, she would definitely not say this kind word.

She saw that Zhou Yaosen had already scooped water from the water tank in the yard to wash his face, and hurried to the kitchen, where the sweet potatoes in the pot should be cooked.

"Big girl, make a soup at noon, I haven't drunk saliva this morning, I'm thirsty. Zhou Yaosen wiped his face, smelled the fragrance of sweet potatoes, and suddenly remembered the bowl of soup that the big girl made for Dabao last night.

Usually the Zhou family drinks potato strip soup, but yesterday Zhou Sining threw cooked diced sweet potatoes directly into the pot in order to save time, and the wild vegetables were yellow, yellow, green and green, which looked more appetizing than potato strip soup, which Zhou Yaosen remembered.
