Chapter Title: Chapter 54 Daddy and Mother Are Not as Good as Neighbors

Chapter 54 Father and mother are not as good as neighbors

Dakui's daughter-in-law came out of nowhere at this time, and obviously heard the old man's words just now, with a smug and angry expression, squeezed through the crowd, and pointed to Erkui: "You still don't leave?" I don't want you to have a pension for five years, from now on, the old people are all raised by us, and you are embarrassed to take advantage of this? ”

Qiu Chen frowned, feeling unfair, but he didn't know if he would affect things by opening his mouth at this time.

Just as he was hesitating, a crisp voice sounded, and it was Shanzi who said: "Auntie, you don't need to pick me up, my father will take us away!" But, grandma, auntie, we have to take our things, right? ”

The little children can still talk on such an occasion, and the people around them are a little surprised, but they can't help but feel distressed. A six-year-old child, but he has to fight for his own family at this time, which is really embarrassing!

Onlookers also chimed in. Erkui Niang's cry suddenly rose up, and she cursed fiercely, and those foul words were so straightforward that they couldn't reach her ears!

The second father finally stood up and said: "Let them go in and clean up!" ”

As soon as this almost insensitive old man spoke, a fierce character like Erkui Niang could only obediently obey, and reluctantly untied a key from his waist and threw it on the ground.

The furniture in Erkui's room is very simple, not more than that of the Lin family. Lan Ying, Qinghe's family, Qingshan's daughter-in-law, Qiu Chen and other women took the initiative to enter the house, cleaned up the bedding and scraps for Erkui's family, and packed the bags, and several men came in and transported them out.

Lan Ying said: "Go to my house, the warehouse is idle, clean up and live first." After a few days, everyone helped the handle to take off the blank and build two rooms, and there was a home again. ”

Qiu Chen paused, and then nodded.

The Lin family doesn't have a spare house, not to mention, she is a widow after all, and Erkui may be able to attract what is not gossip if she lives in it. That's not beautiful.

Shanzi and Shishi were silent throughout the whole process, silent, only Shanzi climbed onto the kang and held a large bowl on the windowsill in his arms. There are green garlic seedlings in the bowl, which is raised with garlic cloves and water, and the people in the village have no flowers and plants to see in winter, so they raise a few bowls of green garlic, look at the greenery, and cut a lock of stir-fried vegetables to make soup, which is also particularly fresh.

This bowl of garlic sprouts was raised by her mother and their brothers, and Shanzi was reluctant to stay and was harmed.

Erkui also followed everyone, walked into the home that had left many memories, silently carried a burden on his shoulders, led his two sons one by one, and walked out of the house silently, kneeling down towards Erkui's father and mother who were still standing or sitting at the door of the house, kowtowed, and silently got up and walked out of the door that once belonged to them.

Behind the family, there was a sound and rushed over to help the villagers. A few burdens and a few very simple household utensils were carried by the men, and there were twenty or thirty people, and no one was stunned to talk and laugh.

When they arrived at the house, the men put their belongings into the house and withdrew, while the women helped clean up. Mancang will be carpentry, the furniture in the room is readily available, but it has been idle for a long time, covered with a layer of dust, and after wiping it clean, the room should be neatly furnished, but it makes the simple furniture moved by the Erkui family more and more dilapidated.

After cleaning up here, Qiu Chen also carried a clay pot and a snow-white cage cloth wrapped in a small bag on his arm and entered the door.

"Okay, okay, Erkui and Brother Man Ho haven't had dinner yet! Come, eat it while it's hot. Shanzi and Shishi haven't eaten well just now, so come over and eat some more! Seeing her enter the door with food, the woman who had already been in a hurry moved the kang table and put it away, Qiu Chen put the clay pot and steamed bun burden on the table, and suddenly everyone in the room had their eyes lit up. Half of the clay pot cabbage stew, half of it is fragrant meat slices! After Qiu Chen untied the burden, broke open a white fat and soft white flour steamed bun and handed it to Shanzi and Shishi, several gluttonous daughters-in-law had already secretly swallowed saliva.

After dinner, Qiu Chen led Shanzi and Shi back to Lin's house. Erkui followed Jiang Zheng back to Qingshui Town, and Erkui's daughter-in-law returned to Chuntang, and he wanted to accompany him. At the same time, you should also tell your wife the news of the separation.

Watching the carriage sparkling away, Qiu Chen sighed silently, saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The scene in front of her happened, but her parents were not as good as neighbors! The neighbors also knew that they stretched out their hands to pull them in times of crisis, but the parents not only did not pull them, but kicked them! It is said that tigers are poisonous and do not eat children, is that old couple not even as good as tigers?

Everything was settled, and it was late at night when I got home.

Seeing Lin Xu, Qiu Chen remembered the matter of books, and hurriedly went to the wooden box to pick them up, and handed them to Lin Xu along with those pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are okay, but those old books made Lin Xu like a treasure, and he opened one with his hand and looked at it.

Qiu Chen took a plate of snacks and asked Ah Fu to tell a story to Ah Man, Shanzi and Shishi. Then, she finally had to hurry into the backyard.

It was the beginning of the month, and there was no moon in the sky, only a sky full of stars, and the cold night sky of early spring shimmered like a diamond.

Under the starlight, the pale yellow solidification on the copper plate made Qiu Chen's tired face bloom with a happy smile.

Back on the stove, Qiu Chen used a kitchen knife to divide the solidified soap in the copper box into several pieces, and the laboratory has always been rigorous, so that the soap has become a uniform rectangle of size. Well, it is shaped like transparent soap, but the color is pale milky yellow, which is similar to old soap.

I took a few sheets of rough-edged paper that Afu Aman had practiced writing, and made a total of six soap packets. Qiu Chen began to ponder, the first two times she went to the town, there were no refined flavors for sale in pharmacies and grocery stores, spices in this era, either cut into small pieces of sandalwood, agarwood and other woody spices, or benzoin and other resin spices, and those rouge powder are quite fragrant, but those things are too expensive, and most of them contain lead, and there are definitely side effects when used for a long time, so Qiu Chen will not use that kind of thing to make soap or shampoo and shower gel that Xiao has been thinking about for a long time.

To extract spices from natural flowers, the season is not right, and Qiu Chen has investigated, the terrain and climate here are similar to those of the North China Plain, and there are only a few kinds of flowers, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, pear blossoms, and basically no fragrance. I heard that more than 200 miles away from Qingshui Town, it is customary to plant roses, but the important thing is that now is not the season for roses to bloom!

Fragrance is a problem!

She remembered a few white and beautiful external recipes, and tried to add them to the soap base to wash her face and take a bath!

However, Qiu Chen can't be too demanding for the time being, with handmade soap and soap, at least it is much more convenient to wash clothes, take a bath and wash your hair. I'll wash the family's hair tomorrow. In a few days, when the second daughter-in-law has finished the bedding, she can wash the sheets with soap, disassemble and wash the bedding, and say goodbye to the greasy bedding when she thinks about it, Qiu Chen feels a burst of joy.

"Oh, mother, do you make snacks?" Qiu Chen brushed the knife clean, took a few pieces of soap into the house, and Ah Fu was the first to see it and immediately shouted. Aman, Shanzi, and Shishi also looked over with wide eyes. Qiu Chen made some fresh snacks from time to time in these short days, not only Afu Aman, but also the children around him did not know.

Seeing that Afu Aman was about to reach out and take it, Qiu Chen smiled and slapped a small hand: "This is not a snack." It's laundry and hand soap! ”

"Soap?" In addition to washing his hands and face, Ah Fu obviously does not know much about other washing activities.

However, Lin Xu was attracted from the book and asked, "Soap, is it a soap horn?" ”

"Hehe, almost, this one is much better than soap!" Qiu Chen held a piece of soap and shook it, put it into the wooden box very proudly, turned around and said, "Ming'er will boil water at noon and wash our family's hair!" When the time comes, you can blow bubbles again. ”

As soon as they heard that they could blow bubbles, the four children immediately cheered, and then Ah Fu introduced Lin Xu again, and the other three children also echoed with a little excitement, which made Lin Xu look forward to it.

Lin Xu went back to his house, Qiu Chen washed the feet of the four children, stuffed them into the quilt and put them to sleep. With two more children, the quilt was not enough. Fortunately, Erkui's daughter-in-law has already put cotton on the mattress of Lin Xu's house, although it has not been completed yet, there is no big problem in building it overnight.

Of course, the premise is that the quilt should be searched for sewing needles!

Last night, I was excited.,I didn't sleep until more than three o'clock.,I remembered it at six o'clock this morning.,There's no text yet.,Get up and save the manuscript.,Continue to sleep......

Crying, I made a mistake, I didn't sleep, and I waited from six o'clock to revise it until now...... l3l4
