The next day, Ah Niu didn't send the gourd scoop, and the ugly orange was not in a hurry, so he asked Wang to take more than one or two pieces of silver to Aunt Zhang's house at the opposite door, and asked her son to help bring some rice and noodles back.

Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law is very skillful, the bamboo basket and bamboo basket are very strong, the town is full of rare people, and she has to rush to the town every once in a while, which also subsidizes some household expenses during the slack time, and he goes to the town to take the ox cart of the village people, so she can open this mouth and ask him to bring a bag of rice and noodles back.

The silver taken back from the third room, in addition to buying chickens, rice and noodles, there are still three or four taels of silver left, and these silvers are naturally held by the Wang family, when the Wang family went to Aunt Zhang's house, the ugly orange found two wooden barrels at home.

These two buckets are the wooden barrels she went to carry water, she thought about scrubbing and cleaning, while carrying water, while putting the gourd scoop of Ah Niu's house, although these two buckets are made by her to carry water, but to the river to carry the water she poured into the jar for Shen to eat for a while, now she wants to set up a tea stall, people are scooped up and drunk when they arrive, and they have to be scrubbed clean.

The water tank in her house has to be washed every once in a while, let alone the bucket of water, but if she hadn't thought about setting up a tea stall today, she wouldn't have bothered to scrub it.

Seeing that there was not much water in the tank, the ugly orange took the remaining water to wipe the tank, took the flat pole and carried the bucket down the river to carry the water, and brought the bamboo brush before leaving, and the bucket was brushed in the river.

Although Ugly Orange and Ah Niu are two villages, they share the same river, after all, their two villages are separated by a ridge.

The upstream of the river is for everyone to carry water to eat, and everyone who washes clothes and clothes has to go downstream, which is an eternal rule, and the ugly orange has to wash the wooden barrel, so it gets downstream, and the downstream piece also goes to Ah Niu's village.

At this time, there were more than a dozen mothers-in-law and aunts washing and washing on the riverside, gathering together in twos and threes, some of whom the ugly orange knew, and some of whom the ugly orange did not know.

Ugly orange is not lonely, but she is still busy at home at this time, if she gets together with those three aunts and six women, it is estimated that she will have to talk in the vernacular for most of the day.

The mothers-in-law and aunts above were washing their clothes on the side, and the ugly orange picked up the empty wooden bucket, lifted her dress, and stepped on the stones in the river to the opposite side.

She looked for a place to put the barrel down, and suddenly a sentence came from behind, "Ugly orange girl? Why are you here? ”

The ugly orange turned around, just to see Ah Niu, he was holding a big wooden basin, there were four or five pieces of clothes in it, this wooden basin looked very big, after all, it was made by the mother-in-law's laundry, it was made bigger, and there were a few more clothes, but at this time it was called Ah Niu, but it looked small.

The ugly orange didn't want to say more, but he came to wash the wooden barrel, and when he turned around, he still glanced at Ah Niu's hand more, why did he come to wash the clothes?

Ah Niu saw it, scratched his head a little embarrassed, moved away from the ugly orange a little, and put the basin down, "What, my mother heard that Aunt Gui's body was better yesterday, and she was overjoyed for a while, and she broke her foot and couldn't walk......

Aunt Gui that Ah Niu said is Wang's, Wang's name has a Gui character, she is not very old, and the juniors who are about the same age as Ugly Orange call her "Aunt Gui".

Ugly Orange heard Ah Niu say that her mother had broken her feet, so she greeted her two words, thinking in her heart what Ah Niu said, it must have been Aunt Niu who taught him to say this, otherwise why didn't you see that Aunt Niu was so attentive to her mother.

Ah Niu didn't know why, she was very happy to hear the ugly orange ask about her mother, and said with a smile that her mother just broke her foot, and it will be fine in a few days.

The ugly orange didn't know what to say, but he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and then put the barrel in the water and washed it with a bamboo brush.

Ah Niu also began to wash his clothes, he put the basin on the ground, squatted in front of him and looked at the clothes in the basin, picked up one from time to time to take a look, soaked it in the water, put it on a stone slab, looked at it and took out a washing stick from the wooden basin, as if smacking, how should this clothes be washed.

Ugly Orange kept telling herself not to meddle in her business, but when she heard the sound of Ah Niu knocking on the stone slab with a stick, she sighed secretly and got up and walked over.

"Brother Niu, you can help me brush the bucket, and I'll wash the clothes."

"Huh?! Girl, how can this, how can this make you come, come and wash ......?"

Ah Niu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react, the ugly orange took the bamboo brush over, replaced the laundry stick in Ah Niu's hand, rolled up his sleeves and took his clothes and washed them.

"Sister, sister, this, what's going on."

"Okay, Brother Niu, how can you be a big man who can do laundry, if you are idle, help me brush the bucket, that is the work of strength."

The ugly orange saw that these were all coats, and they were easy to wash, so he soaked the ashes of the plants and trees brought by Ah Niu, and rubbed them, and slapped them with a stick.

Although she is not interested in Ah Niu, but the two of them are by the river at this time, and the relationship between the two of them is good, she helps him wash the two clothes, and it is nothing, besides, she wants outsiders to see Ah Niu washing his clothes by himself, and she avoids hiding aside, isn't this a cause for people to discuss, saying that the two of them are because the old cow head sent the wrong silver.

The ugly orange only cared about the work of his subordinates, and didn't pay much attention to Ah Niu, and when a few clothes were washed, he looked up, and saw Ah Niu standing aside with two buckets, so he got up and took the buckets, and left after saying a word to him.

After the field stalk to the upper reaches, the ugly orange shook the wooden barrel in the river, and picked up a load to go home, this burden was only enough to pad the bottom of the tank, and the ugly orange went back and forth a few times to make enough for the two of them to make a day.

After picking the water ugly orange and resting, Wang brought her a bowl of water, and she was about to tell her about Aunt Niu, Aunt Zhang called her to her, and her son and daughter-in-law brought the rice noodles back to them before noon.

Aunt Zhang's son laboriously moved a bag of rice over, tired and panting, when the man in his twenties was really strong, but Aunt Zhang's son was surprisingly thin, not at all like a peasant man who was shaving food in the field, if he put on a cloth coat, maybe people would mistake him for a weak scholar.

"Aunt Gui, this, this bag of noodles, I, I brought it to you, brought it, that bag of rice, I'll bring it to you later......"

Wang and Ugly Orange hurriedly stepped forward to take a hand, "Ouch, Zhang Chun, you say what you say, I'll just let your sister go over and bring it, what are you doing with this strength." ”

This Zhang Chun is the son of Aunt Zhang, he is thin when he is small, he can't do heavy work, or he can't keep the three acres of land at home, but he can't support the family, after the old Zhang Tou went, the backbone of the family is gone, and the ugly orange secretly mentioned her in the early years, let her rent out the few acres of land at home, so that she can get some rent to live, but it is just to make a living.

Zhang Chun wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Aunt Gui, this, this little thing, where is the need to trouble ugly, ugly, ugly ......"

"Gotta get it, Zhang Chun, don't talk about it for a while, Nier, go and bring the rice."

Wang didn't wait for Zhang Chun to finish speaking before interrupting him, and his heart was suddenly displeased, if Zhang Chun was allowed to continue to snort, her family would not be ugly to Nantianmen!
