Chapter 4 Go to the river to wash clothes
Filial piety to in-laws, getting up early and greedy for darkness, giving birth to children, laundry and cooking, everything is done well, and none of them can be left behind. Don't talk much, don't gossip, although she can't talk about any model daughter-in-law, but in these ten miles and eight villages, when it comes to the Mo family of the old Chu family, no one will say that she is not good.
Of course, this has to remove some of the best products with more alternative ideas, such as Chu Guihua's grandmother Xu.
Chu Guihua couldn't figure out why her mother was not doing well, and why did her grandmother look down on her so much?
If it is labor, Mo's work in a day is much more than that of his second daughter-in-law, Lu, in a month. If you eat, the amount of food Mo eats in a day is not equal to the amount of Lu's meal.
But despite this, Xu still treats her nose not as nose, and eyes as eyes.
Chu Guihua knew that she was still a child, and although she wanted to know some things, she couldn't ask.
"Sister......" Chu Yande's embarrassed voice came from the door, Chu Guihua put the changed clothes into the basin and beckoned Chu Yande to come in.
Chu Yande entered the house with a tiger's head, hurriedly turned around and closed the door, ran to Chu Guihua's side like a thief, and whispered: "Sister, what do you think this is?" ”
Following Chu Yande's little hand, Chu Guihua saw a few purple objects that looked like miniature grapes in her dirty little hands.
"It's ...... Mulberry? Chu Guihua was a little surprised.
Chu Yande nodded, and sent the mulberry in his hand to Chu Guihua as if offering a treasure, "Second sister, this is the eldest sister who picked it with great difficulty, just the two of us, and no one else has it!" ”
Listening to Chu Yande's words, Chu Guihua couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
In this era of scarcity, just a few small berries can become a treasure that children are excited about.
"Xiaode is good, my sister doesn't want to eat, let's give Xiaode to eat!"
Chu Guihua really didn't want to share such a rare snack with a child who was only five years old, so she touched Chu Yande's head dotingly, picked up the wooden basin and was about to go out to wash clothes.
"No, the second sister doesn't eat it, and Xiaode doesn't eat it either. When Brother Nian comes back in the evening, we will eat together. "Chu Yande is also a sensible child, and he knows that he can't eat alone.
Chu Guihua smiled, didn't say anything, and went out with a wooden basin.
There is a large water tank in the kitchen, and there is clean water in the water tank, but the water is used for cooking, and if you want to wash clothes, you have to go to the river in the middle of the village to wash them.
I heard that the river in the middle of the village is called Qinhe, and the river flows through the middle of the village, so the name of this village is Qinhe Village.
For this Qinhe Village, Chu Guihua is no stranger at all, she has to come to this river several times a day, in addition to carrying water and releasing geese, picking firewood and digging wild vegetables on weekdays, and most of them have to pass by this river.
The sun has reached the center of the sky, counting the hour, it is already noon, the weather is the hottest at this time, the villagers are generally at home at this time, unless the work in the field is too urgent, otherwise they rarely come out at this time.
Because there was no one by the river, the trees by the river cried out with joy.
Chu Guihua found a shady place with shade, and was not in a hurry to wash clothes, but sat on a flat stone face, holding a weed in her mouth, and looked around.
It is summer, and the peasant family usually gets up at dawn to do farm work, and when the sun rises, they go home to eat and rest, and when the sun goes down a little more, they will go back to work in the fields.
