"My name is Zhong Liyue. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"My name is Zhong Erniu, oh no, my name is Zhong Mingyue." Mingyue almost forgot to change her name, but fortunately, Zhong Liyue pounded her and reminded her.
"It doesn't matter what month you are, there is nothing else to do when you come to me, just wash and shabu, every morning in each room will have a maid to bring the incense bucket and dirty clothes, each of you has the same work, if anyone can't finish it in a day, he is not allowed to eat." Mrs. Zhang explained all the rules of the pulp washing room, and then shouted, "You two, come here." ”
The two were taken to a well, and Mrs. Zhang pointed to the basin next to her and said, "Draw a basin of water, and then go over there to get dirty clothes and soaphorns, pick a place by yourself, and quickly wash the clothes, hurry up!" ”
"It's going to be dark soon, and you're going to wash it?" Zhong Liyue pointed to the sky and asked.
"Don't want to wash? Yes! Kneel at the door. Mrs. Zhang pointed to the gate of the courtyard.
The two sisters looked at each other, one with a basin and the other with water, and soon the water was ready, and they went to get soap, a laundry pestle, and a washboard.
"So this is the soaphorn, I haven't seen it before." Mingyue carefully touched the soap corner.
"Cut!" The woman closest to them glared at Mingyue with disdain when she saw her like this.
If Zhong Liyue was sprayed by someone, she would just ignore it and ignore this kind of person, but her sister was sprayed, and she couldn't accept it. She glared directly at the past and asked rhetorically, "What are you cutting?" What's so strange that we haven't seen soaphorn? Have you ever seen laundry detergent? ”
The woman flattened her mouth, snorted, and withdrew her gaze.
"Mother, they're chatting." Out of nowhere, a little boy pointed at them and shouted.
Mrs. Zhang looked over and raised her whip in the air, "Who is chatting?" Chat again and kneel at the door! ”
Several people hurriedly lowered their heads and went to wash their clothes seriously. After a while, Zhong Liyue turned her head to look for the initiator. A little boy about a meter tall was circling around their group, like an overseer. looks like a tiger, and at a glance, you know that it is the son of Mrs. Zhang.
There is a mother, there is a son!
Zhong Liyue secretly rolled her eyes at him, and suddenly remembered that old lady Shen. Her attitude is really strange, whose kitchen is not angry when it is burned? On the other hand, she is like watching the excitement, completely out of the matter, judging from the attitude of the eldest young master and the second master Shen towards her, she should not be the kind of person who has no status in the Shen family, why didn't she say a word? With such a cold personality and a gentle voice, what kind of woman is she? Her son is also that kind of cold character, I don't know if Master Shen should wear a quilt when he gets along with the mother and son when he is alive? Maybe he froze to death.
"Eldest sister, what is the laundry detergent you are talking about?" After a while, Mingyue couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
In order to avoid explaining more, Zhong Liyue said: "I made it up blindly, otherwise how could I seal her mouth?!" ”
Mingyue let out an 'oh' and lowered her head and snickered. With her eldest sister here, she feels less lonely. However, she doesn't want her eldest sister to suffer here, hey, it's all her fault!
About half an hour later, everyone got up one after another, poured water, poured water, collected clothes, and everyone was busy shuttling through the yard, and after being busy, everyone went to another room to get steamed buns. Zhong Liyue and Mingyue went to ask Mrs. Zhang, only to hear her say: "After washing those piles of clothes, you can go back to sleep." ”
"Where's the rice?" Zhong Liyue asked.
"Rice?" Not to mention this Mrs. Zhang was not angry, she pointed at Mingyue and said angrily: "Do you still have the face to mention food to me?" If you hadn't burned down the kitchen, would we have eaten the steamed buns? You two won't eat tonight. The steamed buns were temporarily ordered from the outside restaurant, and you didn't have your share. ”
Mingyue lowered her head and muttered, "I'm sorry." ”
"If you don't eat, you won't eat, and when you lose weight." Zhong Liyue patted Mingyue on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go wash clothes." ”
When the Huansha girl learned that she could only eat dry steamed buns tonight, she deliberately came to the yard to go around and give Mingyue a white eye, and some even sneered a few words.
Mingyue buried her head in shame, extremely uncomfortable.
"What do you see? Look at it again, gouge out your eyeballs, believe it or not? Zhong Liyue picked up the pestle and stood up and pointed at them, so she said fiercely: "If you don't want to eat, don't eat, who forced you." ”
Seeing that Zhong Liyue was not easy to bully, they didn't dare anymore, so they stomped their feet and ran away.
"Woo woo woo ......" Mingyue cried.
"Everyone makes mistakes, and crying won't solve problems. If you want to atone for your sins, do your laundry. Zhong Liyue said seriously.
Mingyue put away her teary eyes, nodded, and continued to wash clothes silently.
"It's you, causing us to eat steamed buns, and you're still fierce?" Mrs. Zhang's son suddenly ran over and pointed at Zhong Liyue and said.
Zhong Liyue glanced him up and down, and asked inexplicably, "How old are you?" ”
The little boy tilted his head to the side, "Hmph, I won't tell you!" ”
"Look at your face, you should be twelve or thirteen years old, but your height looks like less than ten years old. Do you know why you can't grow taller? ”
The little boy rolled his eyes and asked, "Why?" with a little curiosity and a little defensiveness. ”
Zhong Liyue's two hands pulled to the sides like gluten, and then pulled up and down, "Horizontal development hinders vertical development." ”
The little boy scratched his head, really puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”
"What's your name?"
The little boy still tilted his head arrogantly and didn't tell her.
"If you don't say it, I know, just for your size, it's either called 'dwarf winter melon' or 'chubby'."
"Poof!" Mingyue on the side couldn't help but laugh all of a sudden.
The little boy was so angry that he puffed up his cheeks and yelled, "You are talking nonsense! My name is Little Stone, Stone! ”
Zhong Liyue continued to tease: "Oh, it turned out to be called Xiaoshi, and it doesn't live up to your size." ”
Little Stone cried 'wow', turned around and ran to the room to the east, shouting 'Mother' in his mouth.
"Oh no, Xiao Shi must be Mrs. Zhang's son." Mingyue, who realized it later, couldn't smile anymore. She looked at Zhong Liyue worriedly and asked, "Eldest sister, he must have gone to sue, what should I do?" ”
"Afraid of what? I didn't hit him, I didn't scold him, I just teased him! I didn't expect him to cry, it's not cute at all, it's still fun for Xiao Wu. Zhong Liyue didn't think so, the most Mrs. Zhang could do was to count her down a few words, give her more work to do, can she still do it?
Soon, Mrs. Zhang ran out of the house and rushed to Zhong Liyue's side.
"Eldest sister, what should I do?" Mingyue saw that Mrs. Zhang was menacing, so she was not afraid.
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang had already rushed over, and Xiaoshi pointed at Zhong Liyue and said, "It's her who bullied me!" ”
Mrs. Zhang pinched her waist and asked, "How did you bully him?" ”
Zhong Liyue defended: "I didn't beat him or scold him, I just chatted with him, how do I know that he is too poor in knowledge and can't understand what I say, I thought he was crying in shame!" ”
"Good!" Mrs. Zhang suddenly changed her words, twisted Xiaoshi's ear and said, "You are not as good as others, are you embarrassed to cry?" You are a little man, people didn't beat you or scolded you, why are you crying? If you don't learn knowledge, you can't say that people will know about the complaint, can your wife manage you for the rest of your life? ”
