Chapter 6 The Laundry Turmoil
In the end, it took more than half an hour to finish picking the green trees, and there was a whole basket. Qingshu walked in front with a basket in his arms, silly and happy. In the end, the firewood had to be put on the mountain to dry, and Guoguo walked behind with the basket on his back, and the two of them were excited at the thought that these things could be exchanged for money.
Qingshu forgot to tell SΓΉ Guoguo Shi Lei because of this.
Liang came over early because he was worried. When I took Guoguo's basket and saw that there was still a chicken that had been killed, I was so frightened that I hurriedly asked how it came.
"Brother Shi sent it." Guoguo replied loudly, "I saved him!" He also talked about cutting down the snake, of course, but only in simple terms. But as soon as Liang saw such a big bag of grease, he guessed how big the snake was, and his feet were so frightened: "Guoguo, you can't go up the mountain by yourself in the future!" You know what?! β
"Mother, this snake oil can remove my scar, it's okay." Guoguo couldn't be happier at the thought that these toad skins could be removed.
"You said earlier, my mother went to buy it from others, and you don't have to catch it yourself." Liang's tone was a little more stern.
"Mother, look, these can be exchanged for money!" Guoguo happily showed his loot like the Liang family, "It's only been two quarters of an hour from here to the town, and we can go to the pharmacy in the evening to see how much it can be sold." I sold the money and bought new clothes for my mother. β
These words made Liang laugh: "New clothes, you think I'm a child!" β
"Buy new clothes for the whole family!" Guoguo raised his arms and shouted, "Let's all change into summer clothes." β
The things in the house were burned to the ground, and now the Fang family has no belongings at all, let alone buying clothes. Each of them barely had two sets.
Liang smiled with satisfaction.
When she returned home, Liang carefully refined the snake oil, and there was actually half a bowl, and she treated the snake oil with care as if it were a holy product: "Buy a small jar in the afternoon and come back, and then put it in the jar." β
When Guoguo came back, she changed her clothes, washed her hands, and carefully dried the honeysuckle. Fortunately, Fang Yuqian was inconvenient to weave these things at home, or it was not enough for the dustpan.
There were thirteen of them, and she didn't know how to do them, so she didn't move them. When the snake was taken out, the grass's face turned white with fright. I also heard that Guoguo had no choice but to cut the snake, and for a whole day, she didn't let Guoguo get close to her.
Guoguo wanted to pretend to be pitiful and ask her to help wash the clothes, but when she saw her scared like that, she had to go by herself.
Guoguo's family did not have a well, so she had to go to the big well in the village to fetch water. I usually wash clothes or something, just go to the stream to wash them. Now at noon, the brook is drying, and there is a lot less water in the stream, so the fruit goes to the well to wash.
I didn't think about how to wash it, but there was a problem with it.
"Eh, you girl, why do you bring these dirty clothes here to wash? Don't dirty the water! The sixth grandmother of the family saw the blood stains on the clothes on the fruit wood plate, and sighed in a long voice, "The dirty clothes should be taken to the stream!" No wonder you have a drought as soon as you return to the village, who knows if it angered the Dragon King! This was a bit excessive, but it also attracted the attention of several aunts who were washing the fruits and vegetables by the well.
"Sixth grandmother, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" Guoguo glared at her sternly, "This dragon lord is busy making clouds and rain for the people!" What can we little people control! "Although Guoguo stayed at home for two months, I also knew that everyone was worried about the drought, and at this juncture, if it was named a bad name, it would be difficult to get rid of it in the future.
"Hmph, I kindly reminded you that you are still talking about it by a junior? Ask everyone, who came here to wash all this dirty laundry? "Grandma Six is the one who can do things.
"Guoguo, you go over there and wash it, the water will be fine if you pour it farther away." Grandma Ping persuaded kindly, "This big sun, let Guoguo go to the stream to wash, what should I do if I have a good day?" Guoguo's body is good! β
"Well, I listen to Grandma Ping." Guoguo put the wooden plate on the side, and she also knew that most people were more taboo about these.
Grandma Ping used to have a good relationship with Guoguo's grandmother, and after Guoguo's family returned to the village, they helped a lot. In the first two days I came back, the firewood was still burned by Grandma Ping and asked Uncle Zhang to move over! These are all things that Liang nagged with her family during this time, and she hoped that the children would not forget the good of the villagers.
However, the words of the sixth grandmother just now hit the minds of some people, and everyone didn't show it on their faces, but they all muttered a little in their hearts.
"Guoguo, are all your injuries healed? No scars, right? The sixth grandmother's eyes rolled, and she found the conversation again, "This girl's body is the most delicate, if she has a scar, how will she find her husband's family in the future!" β
Guoguo didn't say a word. Carrying water, rubbing clothes, rubbing loudly. She was not used to pounding clothes sticks, and her hands were numb. This bloodstain, with the addition of plant ash, makes the whole basin of water black and red, which is really scary.
"Look at you, just say that your temper is so big, which in-law will dare to ask you in the future?" The sixth grandmother persuaded bitterly, "Look at the color in this pot, eh, they all say that you should take it to the stream, how unlucky it is!" β
"Sixth grandma, this is this morning, I rubbed red mud when I went up the mountain." Fruit fruit in impatience explained.
"Rubbed red mud? Alas, fell? You have to be careful, your father and mother have sold all the fields in the family for you. There's nothing left to sell right now. "The words of the sixth grandmother are a bit excessive, but what they say is also the truth. It's just that her tone makes people uncomfortable no matter how they listen, and Guoguo doesn't bother to pay attention to her.
"You kid, look at it, why don't you pay attention to people when the elders talk to you?" The sixth grandmother was unhappy, "In this summer, even if you still wear gloves, you can't untie your clothes now?" Isn't this hand so burned that you can't see anyone? β
Guoguo couldn't pretend to be silent now, she looked straight at the sixth grandmother: "Sixth grandma, did my sixth grandfather bring his grandparents back to see you at night?" β
The sixth grandfather also went the year before last, and now the sixth grandmother sleeps alone at night. The sixth grandmother was frightened by Guoguo's sharp eyes, and when she heard her words, she jumped to her feet directly: "You kid, this broad daylight, how do you say these words?" β
"Then it's dark tonight, I'll talk to the sixth grandmother again?" Guoguo asked again without fear of death, and his eyes stabbed directly at the sixth grandmother, but his expression was even innocent.
The woman next to her was also frightened, and everyone was the most taboo. Just about to say something, Guoguo's voice sounded crisply again: "People are doing it, the sky is watching, grandpa and grandma are bless us in the sky!" Guoguo was rescued by Grandpa who jumped into the fire, and the doctors said that Guoguo was not saved, and as soon as Guoguo dreamed of Grandma, he was cured! β
