Chapter 9 I see
After sending my grandmother and uncle home, I made some gnocchi and put some wild vegetables in the soup left over from cooking dumplings in the evening, and the two little ones also ate a lot.
Before dinner, Aunt Osmanthus sent Li Yuqing the clothes she should have been, and shouted that the wild vegetables she sent over tried to make them at noon, and Uncle Niu and her son Tie Dan said they were delicious, and asked her where she got them.
Li Yuqing smiled and listened to her say that there were a lot of people on the mountain waiting for her to dig more next time, and Aunt Osmanthus said that she was embarrassed. It is also in this poor mountain village that a little wild vegetable can also make the family eat more.
After a busy day, after dinner, Li Yuqing boiled some hot water, although it was still cold in early spring, but she couldn't stand it if she didn't take a bath after a busy day. After a simple scrubbing, he walked back to the house with the clothes he had taken off, and the two people on the kang were already asleep with a satisfied smile on their faces.
Because there is nothing to do at night in the countryside, they usually go to bed early, and only those who are scholars and embroiderers will light lamps, because oil lamps are also a rarity. Li Yuqing took off her shoes and got into the quilt, smelling the smell of medicine and musty on the quilt, and secretly decided that she must disassemble these quilts and wash them tomorrow. I don't know how long I haven't washed it, and the cover on my body is hard and not like cotton at all. In this way, I slowly fell asleep.
When I got up in the morning, I saw my younger brothers and sisters who were still asleep getting out of bed gently, and simply washed up, because I didn't have a toothbrush, I broke the willow branches, peeled them, and dipped them in some salt.
I lit a fire, brushed the pot, put water on it, took some sorghum rice, and boiled porridge with the rice given by my grandmother. Thinking of the two malnourished younger siblings, I took two more eggs, washed them, and cooked them together in porridge.
When the two little ones got up, Li Yuqing asked them to brush their teeth as they washed, and on the dinner table, a rice porridge and two eggs, and a blanched dandelion were mixed with hot plate oil, and the color and fragrance were complete. gave the two little guys an egg each, they had to share half of their life and death, Li Yuqing touched the heads of the two people funny, so that they could eat it, and this meal was also delicious.
After breakfast, Li Yuqing took Xin'er to dismantle the two quilts, revealing the cotton that was a little black inside, and took them outside to dry, afraid that Hao'er would run around and give him a small stick to knock on the quilt, but the child knocked it obediently and seriously. Li Yuqing sat by the well with the removed quilt cover and washed it. (In the past, it was easy to dig wells with water, but now it is impossible to drill wells)
"Xin'er, what kind of thing is used to wash this quilt cover," Li Yuqing asked as she looked at the quilt cover curled up in the basin.
"With a stick, like this," he said, raising the stick in his hand and striking it vigorously a few times.
Li Yuqing was a little stunned, "That Xin'er, I mean like soaphorn or something."
"What is the soap horn of the eldest sister?
Li Yuqing was like being struck by lightning, no wonder she walked in the village and found a person, the front and cuffs of her clothes were so dirty, and then look at her own relatively clean clothes, your sister and I can say that because my family is too poor to eat oil and wash well, it is relatively clean.
In the future, you have to pay attention to see if you can see the soaphorn tree, otherwise it will be sad to eat and get on your body when you have money in the future. In the cold water, I knocked on the quilt cover for a while, felt the biting chill from my fingertips, and secretly decided that when I had money, I must build a washing machine that can be used without electricity, otherwise how can I spend the winter, and the eldest aunt will come to wash clothes in winter without pain, and the more I think about it, the more I feel right. The movements of the hands also accelerated.
After washing the quilt and clothes, I cleaned the cobwebs in the room and the dirt in the corners and corners, and I was tired and sweaty. Swept up the grass on the kang and prepared to clean it up. In the place where Li Wenxuan slept before, a hole was found in the corner of the wall.
Li Yuqing thought to herself that it couldn't be a mouse hole, so she crawled over and took a look, there was a purse-like thing stuffed inside, Li Yuqing took it out, and found that it was a purse, similar to the style given to her by her grandmother. I was a little excited, I opened it and looked at it, and I jumped down, and I don't know how many copper coins I wore with red rope.
He took out the purse given by his grandmother from his bosom and poured out the copper coin, because he had no time, so he didn't count it, and counted it to be two hundred wen, and counted the copper coin wearing the red line to have more than five hundred wen.
Li Yuqing patted her Lian a little incredulous, although I don't know what the price of this place is, but more than 700 Wen should be a lot. Pouring the copper coins together, taking out a hundred wen from it and putting it in the purse given by her grandmother, Li Yuqing decided to go to the market tomorrow to have a look.
