Mystery Chest + Cleaning (2-in-1)
An An pulled An Ning and said as he walked: "Can a person bite back if he is bitten by a mad dog?" An Ning replied, "No." An An Xin began to tell An Ning again: It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. When there is an opportunity in the future, it will not be painful to scold a few words and take revenge back.
An Ning kept asking how to retaliate and when to retaliate? Anxin just had a faint look of confidence, which made An Ning very strange, but he didn't ask any more. An Ran held a few small stones in his hand, throwing them as he walked, still muttering something in his mouth.
Anxin knew that Enron was very timid and insecure. This may be the reason why he lost his mother when he was less than 2 years old. Because of the lack of their mother's protection, the three sisters of the An family have different personalities. Peace of mind and hard work to become an adult.,Gently take care of your two younger sisters.,Take over any work yourself.,Use your immature arms to make your sister live as well as possible.。 An Ning has cultivated a sharp mouth, like a spike all over her body, standing in front of her sister and sister, trying to protect them from cold words. Enron is like a sensitive little beast, hiding behind her sisters, quietly looking at the world, even if she appears in front of people, she will make herself transparent and not attract attention. Such sensible sisters are distressing, how can anyone hurt them.
An Anxin was a little more angry with Li Chunxing, and thought in his heart, I must go to the Star Shop tonight to see if there is anything unlucky in it.
I walked while thinking about it, and I didn't meet anyone on the road anymore. At this point, most of the people in the village have started to eat breakfast, and there are basically no people like the Anxin sisters who come to fetch water after eating. Soon came to the well.
At this time, the wells were basically built with bluestone slabs. At the top of the well there is a wooden roller with a rope to which a bucket with a pointed bottom is attached. Throw the bucket into the well so that the bucket is filled with water. The bucket filled with water is pointed down, the mouth of the bucket is upward, shake the handle of the wheel, let the rope be wound on the wheel, the bucket slowly rises, to the well, the person standing next to the wheel holds the handle of the wheel with one hand, takes off the bucket with one hand, pours the water into the flat-bottomed bucket brought by the bucket, and the bucket is full. Then hang the bucket with the culet bottom on a rope and throw it into the well, and then carry another bucket of water. Anxin and Anning both had little energy, so they could only shake the handle.
An An and An Ning hugged the handle and shook the wheel vigorously. An Ran ran up to help, but was scolded by Anxin and went to the side of the well and watched from a distance. A bucket of water rose up from the wellhead, and Anxin asked An Ning to hold on to the handle of the reel and go to carry the bucket by himself. The bucket with a pointed bottom is not large, and it can barely be carried with one hand. After shaking the wheel twice, he finally filled the vat he had brought.
The two sisters carried a large bucket of water and staggered home. The vat is very heavy, and peace of mind and tranquility alone cannot be carried at all. You can only put the bucket on the side of the water tank and slowly scoop it into the water tank with a water scoop.
It took 6 or 7 trips back and forth to fill the tank.
An Xin instructed An Ning to carry firewood, boil water, and hurry into the house, climb onto the kang, and go through the jacket and pants in the box.
There are two big boxes on the top of the kang, one is a mess of miscellaneous items, some torn clothes, rotten quilt covers, and the diapers of the Anxin sisters when they were children. One box holds all the clothes in the house.
I turned the boxes of clothes upside down, but I didn't find the three sisters' clothespins. Anxin was sweating profusely, and shouted towards the outhouse: "Anning, where are our jackets?" ”
The outhouse was silent, and no one answered. An Ning probably wasn't in the house, so Anxin lowered his head again, thinking about going through the box again.
An Ran's voice came from behind him: "Eldest sister, I seem to have seen my father put the jacket in that box."
An An turned around and saw An Ran sitting on the kang, holding a smooth pebble in his hand, throwing up and down and playing. A hand was pointing to the box where the miscellaneous items were kept.
Seeing An Ran sitting quietly on the kang, Anxin's nose suddenly became sour. The little girl is the lively and active grade. But An Ran's well-behaved and sensible nature is different from other children, which is really distressing, and this is a manifestation of extreme insecurity.
An Xin rubbed his nose with the palm of his hand, climbed to An Ran, put his hand on the top of An Ran's head, rubbed it gently, and then turned around and went back to rummage through the box.
An Ran touched her sister's hair that was rubbed by her sister, looked at her sister with round eyes and surprise, and said in her heart: "Eldest sister, what kind of madness is this, messing up my hair."
An Ran emptied all the contents of the box bit by bit. Old cotton covers, torn clothes, and rotten quilt covers, these are all good things to make fake paper and shoes.
At this time, the common people made their own shoes, brushed the paste on the top of the torn clothes, glued them layer by layer, glued 3 or 4 layers, dried them in the sun, and then compared to the size of the feet, cut them into shoes. , stacked layer by layer, sewn with twine, is what the old generation said Na sole. At this time, there were very few transportation equipment, cars or anything, and people walked whether they were visiting relatives and friends, or rushing to the market to run errands, which cost a lot of shoes. Basically, one person has at least two pairs of shoes a year, which has to be saved. A family of more than a dozen people has to make 2 or 30 pairs of shoes.
Stack these things together, roll them into a roll, set them aside, and when you're ready to do nothing, put on some fake paper and make a few pairs of shoes. Then I flipped it down, flipped over it, and felt that the burden in my hand was very strange. The burden was boxy, angular and angular, like a wooden box. It's also very hard to the touch, and there are bulges on the top, which seem to be patterned.
Anxin felt very strange, and there was no impression of this burden in his memory. When was this put in? Anxin opened the plaid coarse cloth baggage, only to see a wooden box wrapped inside. The box is boxy, large at the top and small at the bottom, with an arched drum cavity at the top, which is a lid. Underneath the lid is a small door that opens to the other. The lid and door had brass locks, and the box was black in color, with a layer of gray dust in the grooves and cracks above the pattern due to age. Carefully observing this small wooden box, I have an answer in my heart: this is an antique from the early years, and the material of this box should be red sandalwood.
Anxin can see that this box is an antique, and it has to be given by the famous TV show of CCTV in the previous life. In the overwhelming collection fever in the previous life, Anxin more or less popularized a little antique knowledge. But you can see it, but you don't understand it. Now it's not the key to understand it or not, the key is how can there be such a thing in the An family. According to Grandma An, when she was alive, she just chattered that the An family was an eight-generation poor peasant! Could it be that it is from An's mother's mother's family?
In An's memory, An's mother's name is Zhou Yalan, she is an only daughter, with no brothers and sisters, and no relatives. It is said that Zhou Yalan's mother, that is, Anxin's grandmother, took Zhou Yalan to Jiangcheng Village to get a household. When they came, they were mother and daughter. Grandma Ann said that the man died and she was a widow. Because her mother-in-law disliked that she had given birth to a daughter, she was already dissatisfied. Later, when the man died, he couldn't tolerate them anymore and kicked them out of the house. The mother had no choice but to come to Jiangcheng Village to find relatives, who knew that the relatives had died a long time ago, and the children had moved away. I had no choice but to live in Jiangcheng Village. At that time, it was just in time for the liberation and was fighting the local tyrants to divide the land. Grandma An took An's mother, Zhou Yalan, to divide the land and live in Jiangcheng Village.
When Zhou Yalan was not married, she was a flower in ten miles and eight villages, and she was notoriously beautiful. But she didn't get married until she was 24 years old, and she was also a famous old girl. Because Grandma An is in poor health all the year round and can't do without her daughter's care, people persuaded Grandma An to give Zhou Yalan a son-in-law, but Grandma An didn't agree to anything, just wanted Zhou Yalan to marry off. Who wants to marry a daughter-in-law with an old lady? Zhou Yalan delayed, and it wasn't until An's father persuaded Grandma An that he married An's mother, Zhou Yalan, into the family.
Father An has fallen in love with An's mother Zhou Yalan since the beginning of his love, but seeing Zhou Yalan so beautiful, he always feels that he is not worthy of her. His father died early, his family was poor, and the conditions were not good. looks handsome, but what's the use, and he doesn't have any skills. I no longer feel that Zhou Yalan will never marry someone in the village at all. Later, Zhou Yalan was dragged down by her mother, and as she got older year by year, An's father finally persuaded her mother, came to the door to propose, and finally married Zhou Yalan into the door.
Not long after getting married, Grandma An's health was not good. Mother Ann returned home and served Grandma Ann undressed. This service was another two years, and in the two years, An's mother never returned home. Two years later, Grandma An finally passed away, and An's mother went home to live with An's father, which gave her peace of mind.
An Xin thought about it again and again, this box must have been left by Grandma An. Grandma An's origin is very mysterious, could it be that there is something else I don't know? Then he shook his head, thinking that if there were no such things, the plot in the novel would not appear in life.
When the lid is opened, there is a mirror inside, and the bottom of the box is divided into four small, rectangular boxes. It was empty, there was nothing. Open the small door in the middle of the box, there are two layers inside, the first layer is two small drawers, the second layer is a drawer, open all the drawers, and the inside is also empty. I was a little disappointed to see this peace of mind, but I also felt that it was inevitable, if there was a good Dingxi, it should also be sold to An's mother for medical treatment, and it would not be retained.
Wrap the box with a burden as it is, and put this burden at the bottom of the box this time. It's not that I'm afraid that people will find out, but I'm afraid that when I accidentally take something, I will break the box. This is also an heirloom in the future, and such a treasure chest has been bought at auctions in previous lives for tens of millions of dollars.
Put away the treasure chest with peace of mind, and continue to look for the three sisters' jackets and pants in a pile of miscellaneous items. I finally found it in a small baggage. Anxin slandered in his heart: This must have been put by An's father, or it couldn't be so difficult.
took out the clothes, changed them for herself, and then threw Enron's to her and let Enron wear it herself. After dressing, I went to the outhouse, ready to change the boiling water Anning and let her come in to change her clothes.
Who knew that as soon as he walked to the outhouse, An Ning, who was squatting next to the big stove to burn the fire, raised his head and asked Anxin: "Sister, why are there more branches on the firewood stack?" ”
Anxin stumbled on his feet and almost didn't fall to the ground. Hurriedly stretched out a hand to support the wall, stabilized his body, patted his chest with one hand, and soothed his fast-beating heart before saying, "Bad look, right?" How can it be more? Who else is willing to give us the branches they have picked up! But I was thinking in my heart: this little girl is really fine-hearted, and she can see that she has the potential to be a policeman with a few more branches. After that, the things taken out of the space farm have to find a better excuse, or the secret of the Star Shop will be exposed.
An Ning frowned: "Did I remember wrong?" Impossible······"
"Hurry up and go into the house to change clothes, I still have to open it to wash it, don't delay the effort." An Xin hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt An Ning's thoughts, joking, this is really difficult for the little girl to figure out.
An Ning patted the dirt on her hands, washed her hands again, and then went into the house to change her clothes. Anxin squatted down and added two more branches to the big stove. Looking at the golden flames burning vigorously in the stove fire hall, Anxin began to think about how to collect eggs: he went to collect more chickens with Anxin, and found an excuse that he was weak and needed nutrition. This egg is set at 3 cents a piece, and a maximum of 500 eggs are charged at a time. 500 is almost more than 60 pounds, and two more people will not be able to carry it. 500 can earn 10 yuan. Excluding the round-trip fare and meal expenses for the two of them, they can earn about 8 yuan. If you go by yourself, it won't be a problem to pack as many catties of eggs as you want, and you can also sell some eggs from the space farm. It can save one person's fare and meals. You can also bring back some eggs from the farm to your family, just say that you can't sell the leftovers. A series of benefits, but An Ning will certainly not agree······
Anxin was thinking about it here, An Ning had already changed his clothes and returned to the big stove for a while. Looking at the flames in the stove, which had burned outside along the branches, my sister's eyes looked stunned, but she didn't care. An Ning patted Anxin's shoulder: "Sister, are you stupid?" The fire is burning outside, why don't you care? ”
An Xin was slapped by An Ning, and he was excited, and then he came back to his senses, and saw that the flames were burning to his feet, so he hurriedly stuffed the branches into the stove fire hall.
An Ning helped An An stuff the burning branches into the stove before asking, "Why are you stunned?" I don't know if the fire burns outside. ”
Anxin smiled embarrassedly before replying, "How did I want to collect and sell eggs just now!" I thought if I should go to the city to sell it myself, can you watch Enron at home? "Try to talk to An Ning about it, if it works
When An Ning heard this, he was anxious. He stood up, lowered his head and looked down at Anxin, and shouted, "No! You can't go by yourself, I'm not at ease. Let An Ran go to my uncle's house for a day, and we'll pick her up when we come back. ”
An Ran heard what her sisters were saying in the back room, and said anxiously: "I won't go to my uncle's house, I won't go!" I'm going to follow you guys to sell eggs! As he spoke, he ran out of the back room: "My aunt doesn't like me, I won't go to my uncle's house." Don't leave me, I'm going to follow you······" As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and tears flowed down his face one by one.
An Anxin was distressed, quickly stood up, walked to An Ran, hugged An Ran, gently patted An Ran's back and comforted: "We won't leave you, we won't leave you at any time, don't cry!" Don't cry, good! Good ······
An Ning stood aside and her eyes were red.
Anxin looked at An Ning helplessly, and then looked at An Ran, who was crying breathlessly in his arms, and one head became two bigger. This is a discussion about who is going to sell eggs, and how it becomes that they are left behind, regardless of the two of them?
After comforting for a while, An Ran slowly stopped crying. An An held An Ran with one hand and An Ning with the other, and then slowly explained to the two of them: "I just want to save one person's travel expenses, I don't mean anything else, is this good, An Ning will go with me, An Ran will not go to Uncle Li's house, will you go to Grandma Li Si's house?" I'll sell eggs with An Ning and come back to buy you toffee, is the snack box good? ”
At this time, people's living standards were low, and dim sum and everything could only be seen when visiting relatives and friends during the New Year's holiday. As soon as An Ran heard that there was something delicious, he nodded and agreed, and went to Grandma Li Si's house for a long time. An Ning also achieved the purpose of going to the city together, and his attitude was cloudy and sunny.
After pacifying the two younger sisters, I looked at the sky with peace of mind, and it was about 8 o'clock at this time. Hurry into the house, find scissors in the needlework dustpan, and begin to unpack the cotton clothes. Anxin learned tailoring in his previous life, and in his spare time, he likes to tinker with furniture accessories, bed sheets and quilts. So what to make cotton clothes and quilts is simply simple for peace of mind. Find the thread, stretch it with your hand, a long thread is pulled out, three times five times, a cotton coat is dismantled.
The water in the pot outside has just been boiled, and the peace of mind here is finished.
Anxin found a large basin in the west room, put all the skins of the removed cotton clothes into it, and brought it to the side of the large stove. The water scoop scoops out the boiling water from the pot and pours it into the pot. It wasn't until the boiling water covered the clothes inside that Anxin stopped scooping the water.
Seeing that the water left in the pot was not too much, Anxin scooped a few scoops of cold water into the cauldron. Add a few more twigs to the stove and continue to boil water.
An Ning and An Ran both sat on the small bench and guarded Anxin, not taking a step away, as if as soon as they turned around, Anxin would be gone.
"Haircut?" An An looked at the two sisters and asked, An Ning and An Ran nodded.
Anxin cut the heads of students like himself for Anning and Enran. Then he took out a grate and cleaned the lice on their heads. Then he scooped up hot water and gave them both a hot bath. Help them put on their clothes, hit the kang, and then go back to wash their clothes.
Anxin took the clothes in the basin, turned around and came to the space villa, poured the clothes in the basin into the washing machine, poured detergent, turned on the laundry switch, and immediately left the space villa. One in and one out, that is, three or two minutes. When he entered the house, he took down the quilt and mattress and took them out. After listening to An Ran and An Ning muttering and playing, they hurriedly entered the space villa again.
As the level of peace of mind increases, the ability of peace of mind to control the space farm of the star shop is getting stronger and stronger. Now on the farm, peace of mind can be teleported around the farm as your mind desires. As soon as I thought about where I was brainwashing, I immediately teleported there, which was very convenient.
The washing machine in the villa has already washed and dried the cotton clothes that were sent in last time. Anxin quickly put the quilt cover and mattress sheet into the washing machine and then washed. Hurriedly went out of the farm space again, and put the dried cotton clothes and leather in the yard in a pretend, and secretly snickered at ease. This is really a lie, but there is no way, I have to wash my little arms and legs so much now, I have to be tired and paralyzed!
After a few trips back and forth, I finally washed everything that needed to be washed. I cleaned up the outhouse with peace of mind before entering the house. An Ning and An Ran both felt very strange when they saw An An, why was it so fast?
