Chapter 211: Pulp Washing
Fee Chapter (12 points)
Erlang and Zhao Xiu'e had dinner at the old mansion before going back to town. It was Zhao Xiu'e's three-day return to the door, and the return ceremony was prepared by the Zhou family according to the old ceremony. Lian Shouyi and He didn't go to the town this time, because it was almost the New Year, and there were many things to do at home, and even Shouyi and He were assigned work by Zhou.
As for Erlang and Zhao Xiu'e, even the old man and Zhou's initial plan was to let them live in the village during the day and go back to the big mansion in the town at night. At least, before the beginning of spring next year, we will follow this.
Even the old man is already like a good person, he doesn't take medicine, and he still gets up before dawn every day, and goes out to pick up dung with a dung basket. When I'm at home, I just wander around the yard when I'm fine. These days, even the old man especially likes Chapter 211 to wash the pulp into the vegetable garden south of the east wing, measure back and forth with steps, take a few steps, and stop to think for a while.
"What are you going to do?" Lian Man'er asked Lian Shouxin.
"Erlang, this is a bit of a bad thing." Lian Shouxin didn't answer directly, "No, he can agree." ”
"I think it's a bit hanging." Zhang's side removed the quilt and didn't look up, "In my opinion, Erlang doesn't look like she can work in the field, I'm afraid she doesn't want to come to live in the village." ”
Lian Man'er listened for a while before she understood.
It turned out that the old man Lian planned to sell the house in the town and build two more houses under the east wing, so that Erlang and Zhao Xiu'e could live together.
"The house in the town is sold, and then three rooms are built, so that Erlang and his family can live in it first, and when Sanlang marries, they can also live in it." Lian Shouxin relayed the plan of the old man Lian, "There is still a surplus of money from the sale of the house, and if you buy a few acres of land, the family will work hard for a few years, and there will be no big expenses, and you can buy a few more acres of land." And the days passed slowly. ”
Of course, on the premise of frugality.
"The old man revealed this meaning to Erlang, and Erlang was hesitant and didn't say anything." Lian Shouxin said, "The old man said, this must have been said by Erlang and Erlang earlier, and he didn't want to go to the village to live in Chapter 211 Pulp Wash." asked Erlang what he was going to do, but Erlang didn't say. The old man said take your time, and Erlang nodded. ”
Zhao Xiu'e is not an ordinary country man, even the old man has long seen it. If Lian Shouren can get an official and elevate the status of the whole family, it is appropriate to marry like this. After Old Man Lian gave up letting Lian Shouren be an official, this family business was a little embarrassing.
But the family matter has been decided, and Erlang likes it, so he compromises.
Even the old man's plan is to boil frogs in warm water. Marrying into her husband's family, no matter what kind of life she lived in her mother's house before, she must slowly integrate into the life of her husband's family. When Zhao Xiu'e and Erlang live for a long time, it is best to get pregnant with children, and call them to stop, which is also convenient to take care of.
"I didn't separate the family, I lived these two times, what to do with eating, working or something, and it was a matter of growing up. After the New Year, it is estimated that the old man should officially talk to them about this matter. Lian Shouxin finally said.
Marrying and adding people to import is a great joy, but it will also bring many problems. However, this is something that even the old man's family has to worry about.
The end of the year is approaching, and the shop will be closed for a few more days sooner, and there are many things at home, and Lian Man'er's family is busier than usual.
After the New Year, the cleaning began to prepare for the New Year. First of all, the house was cleaned, inside the house, outside the house, and every corner had to be cleaned, and then the family's clothes and bedding had to be dismantled and washed.
The clothes are not easy to wash, and the Zhang family has already made all the new clothes for the family to wear during the New Year.
Then it is to dismantle and wash the bedding, this time it is a big dismantling and washing, that is, the quilt on the cotton wool, the quilt surface, and the quilt are removed, the mattress is the same, the pot is hot, the mother used one, washed all the washed, and took it out to dry.
Zhou's family, with a few children, grandsons and granddaughters, also dismantled and washed the bedding in the past two days, and as a result, the yard was full.
Zhao Xiu'e didn't come, saying that she was sick. Of course, I didn't eat.
In winter, the temperature outside is very low, and after drying the quilt and quilt for a while, it freezes hard, and the water in the ground does not have time to land, and it forms ice ballast. Only at noon, when the sun is at its fullest, does the ice turn into water and the water evaporates into steam, so that it can be dried.
In addition, the weather has been good in the past two days, and the temperature has risen slightly, and it has finally dried up.
This is the completion of the washing and drying steps, pulp washing pulp washing, and the next step of pulping.
A large pot of rice milk should be prepared first, and the consistency of the rice milk should be mastered. If it is too thick or too thin, the pulped cloth will not look good. After preparing the rice milk, put the dried cloth into it, put it into the basin little by little, let the cloth be completely strengthened by the rice milk, and then unscrew off the excess rice milk, and then take out the cloth and dry it again.
This time, it was to be dried until it was 90% dry, then it was brought in, carefully folded, and all stacked on top of each other on a large flat bluestone slab. Next, it's a thrashing.
It is to beat the cloth with a mallet, that is, a beating stick. These quilts, quilts, mattresses, and mattresses are all made of cotton cloth, and beating is to beat these cotton cloths to smooth out, and at the same time, it is also to shrink the size of the cotton cloth and beat it back to its original size.
Zhang's strength was strong, holding a beating stick in one hand, and the beating was so fast that it almost became an afterimage in Lian Man'er's eyes.
"Mother, you rest for a while, I'll beat it for you." Lian Man'er said.
"Okay." Zhang stopped, handed the mallet to Lian Man'er, and let the stool come out and let Lian Man'er sit down.
"It's not good to have a lot of strength, you have to be even, or this one will be hammered down, one pit and one piece of the ground, and this cloth will not be smooth." Zhang instructed Lian Man'er beside him, "Yes, you have to hold it like this, you can't let the tip of the mallet fall first......"
It turned out that pounding cloth was still a technical job, and after practicing for a while, Lian Man'er had already beaten it very well. When Lian Man'er is tired of beating, he will change the branches. The three of them took turns until Zhang said okay, and then they didn't stop.
After the beating, it is not finished, in order to make the cloth stand upright, that is, crisp, there is a final process: press with a heavy object.
Lian Man'er was fortunate enough to become one of the heavy objects. When I sat on the kang and wrote, I sat under my buttocks with a stack of quilts.
In this way, the cloth that has gone through several processes is very crisp and can finally be sewn back onto the cotton wool.
Zhang's quilt, Lian Zhi'er sewed the mattress, and Lian Man'er was assigned the simplest job, sewing the quilt head.
Zhang sewed a quilt and handed it to Lian Man'er. Lian Man'er is responsible for sewing a white cotton quilt on one end of the quilt, that is, the end of the human head when the quilt is covered. Because this end of the quilt is the most likely to get dirty, if you disassemble and wash the whole quilt every time, not only is it troublesome, but the quilt is washed more times, and the cloth is easy to break. Just dismantling and washing the quilt head is convenient and saves a lot.
Zhang's and Lian Zhi'er are all flying needles, and Lian Man'er's movements are much slower. Fortunately, this job is simple, and she can still do it. When she felt that the needle was blunt, even Man'er would follow Zhang's example, raise her hand and put the needle in her hair and rub it, so that the needle would be much smoother again.
Maybe it's because of this action, I don't go to wash the stitches, from a distance, just in terms of posture, even Man'er is a girl who will be popular.
“…… Look at this quilt that you have covered, are you rolling in the mud all day long? If I don't let you wash it, you won't remember what it is. Zhou's scolding came from the courtyard.
"I'm scolding the second aunt again, every year." Lian Zhi'er didn't look up, but said with a smile.
“…… Why are there so many holes, you all have teeth? A loser's stuff can spoil a set of bedding in a year. Don't worry about the good things, I don't have the money to change it for you this year, you wash it well and sew up the bad ones. Zhou's scolding was even louder, obviously angry.
"Isn't this all built by a few of them and a half-sized, which year is not like this, what can I do?" He Shi muttered, and seemed to have grievances, "What's the use of feeding these kids, you can't help with anything." I am also a mother-in-law, and I pointed to her to help me do something, she is good, either sick or disaster. ”
"Sister-in-law Xiu'e just entered the door for two days, and she saw that my second aunt was happy. I can't be happy now. Lian Man'er was very unsympathetic. He is counting on having a son, who can carry the work of washing clothes and cooking for her. Which Cheng thought, Zhao Xiu'e also went back to the old house to cook a meal on the day of her wedding, and then she didn't work, either this hurt or that hurt. Sometimes he simply said that he was sick, and only let Erlang solve it, and he didn't let her eat.
"I heard that she let Erlang, and she went back to her mother's house to eat." Zhang's Road.
"But it can't always be like this." Lian Zhi'er said.
"Who's that."
…………
As the year approached, the family began to discuss the purchase of New Year's goods.
Lian Man'er prepared the pen and paper and spread a piece of red paper on the table. When purchasing New Year's goods, everyone has the right to speak, and Lian Man'er is responsible for recording.
"Do you still need to buy meat?" Zhang Shi first said, "We have divided more than eight catties of meat, I see that it is almost there." ”
"Look at the children, is eight catties of meat enough to eat?" Even keep the word. When you have money in your hand, you want to pamper your children more.
Lian Man'er looked at each other.
"I think it's about the same, why don't we buy some more ribs and two more chickens? There are always chickens for the New Year, and you have to buy some eggs......" Lian Man'er said.
"Okay." Zhang and Lian Shouxin nodded.
"I have to buy firecrackers." Xiao Qi was afraid that he would forget it for a while, so he hurriedly said.
"Then buy a whip." Even keep the word. In addition to the basic living needs of the Zhuang family, they always have to listen to the sound of the New Year, but the average family is reluctant to buy firecrackers. A whip can be regarded as a small luxury.
Xiao Qi also made this sense, but he was still not satisfied.
"Sister, buy another whip and use my money." Xiao Qi discussed with Lian Man'er.
"Okay." Lian Man'er agreed, while opening the ledger to check, "Oh, no." Xiao Qi, your wages have been paid. ”
Xiao Qi's eyes immediately widened.
"How can that, I remember......" Before Xiao Qi finished speaking, he felt a pinch on his arm.
Xiao Qi looked at Lian Man'er, Lian Man'er looked at Xiao Qi, and glanced at Lian Shouxin from the corner of his eye.
"Dad," Xiao Qi immediately pounced, hugging Lian Trustworthy's thighs. "Dad, give me some money to buy firecrackers."
