139 Laundry
(Yes, you read that right, the name is the same, the content is different)
Dongfang Bai and Jing Hao's departure did not cause much movement in the Li family, after all, both of them are adults, and there is also Jing Hao with a kung fu foundation, so safety is not a problem.
After dawn, farming, going to school, and doing business, each has his own things to do.
Even the injury of the second egg has nothing to do with others, and someone is worried about it.
After the personnel were rearranged, the seedlings were planted quickly.
Yang Liu was idle, and took advantage of the good sun to remove all the quilts in his room, soak them in a large wooden basin, and put the cotton wool on the bamboo pole to dry.
With Zhang Xiuzhi's blessing, Wen sent a piece of soap to each of their rooms, and also contributed a piece of pig pancreas for everyone to wash their hands. Yang Liu still remembers that Wen Shi handed Yu two pieces of soap with some pride, one for return and one for delivery, which made the two concubines almost dry up.
The piece sent to Yang Liu was jasmine, of course, because of Dongfang Bai and Jing Hao, the Wen family didn't have a good face for Yang Liu. Yang Liu was also thinking, if Li Qiang was not injured, the Wen family would not have fished for such things, without Dongfang Bai and Jing Hao, how could Li Qiang be injured? Thinking about it, it was a bad debt, and Yang Liu took it with a smile.
Wen is angry, she is still wronged, who knows if these two goods are her distant relatives? She has memorized all the good and bad, and it is also a little comfort to get a little benefit.
After soaking for about a quarter of an hour, the willow began to wash by hand, and after rubbing half of a sheet, the willow regretted it, why did he soak so much in a hot head? There is no brush, no washboard, how long will she wash her hands? Damn.
There was movement in the door of the third room. Yang Liu turned his head and saw a wooden crutch come out first. She hurriedly got up and moved a bamboo chair with a backrest under the porch, and picked up Li Qiang.
"The third brother looks much better." Yang Liu said with a smile.
"yes. People who come out to bask in the sun are a lot more energetic, and the hospital is not a place to recuperate. Li Qiang also said.
Yang Liu noticed the crutch standing by the wall. Although it was polished smoothly, after all, it was definitely uncomfortable to bear the force, so Yang Liu Jian asked Wen to help wrap some cloth on it.
"Third brother, who did you kidnap, your craftsmanship is really good."
"It's my father-in-law, he's a craftsman."
"Oh." Yang Liu rested his mind about asking Daddy Wen for help, it was not worth running so far for a washboard.
"Do we have a carpenter in the tun?" Yang Liu said again.
"Yes, Uncle Li is the best craftsman in our tunzi. But when I'm older, I can't do it anymore. Li Qiang was a little embarrassed, there were many people who asked Uncle Li Liu to make cabinet benches, and many of the furniture in his house were made by him, which was difficult to use for a long time, but unfortunately the craftsmanship was not handed down.
Yang Liu thinks it's strange, shouldn't craftsmen be quite popular? After all, I have mastered a craft, which is better than being called around outside.
"The craftsmen who really make money are all good at carving, and Uncle Six can only make some tables, chairs and benches used by countrymen. Just barely making ends meet. Moreover, although we countrymen are not very proficient, it is okay to make a few small benches, and the sixth uncle's business is becoming more and more difficult. Even the grandsons of the sixth uncle are all worshipping under others to learn art. Li Qiang explained, and then asked, "What." Do you want to hit something? ”
It's okay, the washboard isn't a complicated thing, and Yang Liu said what she thought.
Li Cong listened to Yang Liu's description. I also felt that it was not a difficult thing, and explained the direction of Uncle Li's house to Yang Liu.
Yang Liu thanked him. Just go ahead and fight the sheets.
The sheets weren't dirty, and the willows just washed them and wanted to put some thick quilts away. You have to rub every inch of it. After rubbing for a while, Yang Liu began to go crazy.
Yang Liu took out another large wooden basin from the utility room and moved some sheets over. At this time, Li Qiang had already been carried out by Wen, so Yang Liu took off his shoes and socks and stood in the wooden basin to step on. Sure enough, it was much easier, Yang Liu lifted his pants and hummed a song.
"Xiuxiu is back, if you want to wash the sheets, bring it and I'll help you." Yang Liu said hello.
Xiuxiu shook her head and refused, she actually wanted to say that the sheets washed out with her feet were also smelly of stinky feet when dried.
The feet are much cleaner than the hands, and the willow shrugged his shoulders and continued to step on and on and on and on.
Xiuxiu went back to her room and got some things and went out again.
Rare to have a little leisure, Yu and Xiao He went to the old locust tree with needlework and thread, and while doing needlework, they chatted with people idlely. Li Qiang and his family went out, Xiuxiu also looked for something good, He was nowhere to be found, Li Cong went up the mountain again, and several children didn't know where to go, only cicadas and chickens crowed with Yang Liu, and the sound of snorting and stepping on the sheets.
Yang Liu stepped on the embroidered shoes with his heels, turned over the sheets, and stepped on them for a while before drying the water on his feet and putting on his shoes, finding a basket that could sit down on the wooden basin without falling down, and planned to carry all the sheets to the stream at one time to wash.
Then the willow tragedy, in order to be durable, the wooden basins in the countryside are all made and heavy, plus several wet sheets, the willow carried the basket on his back for a long time and did not stand up.
Isn't it just to avoid a trip? Yang Liu burst into tears, and took out some more sheets before he could carry them.
Yang Liu admits that it is very dirty to carry this kind of basket, but it is more comfortable than holding it in the hand. So she only struggled for a moment, and then walked out with the basket on her back without any burden.
I have to say that when Yang Liu's petite body appeared by the stream with a big back basket on his back, it was quite regrettable to see, and someone immediately helped to lift the back basket and let Yang Liu put the back basket down.
Yang Liu thanked him and rubbed his shoulders.
It's really fate, it's Aunt Guo who I met when I did the laundry for the first time.
"Silly girl, what should I do if my back is so heavy?" Aunt Guo said distressedly.
Yang Liu smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't grow any longer anyway." ”
Aunt Guo was helpless and helped Yang Liu wring out the water. By the time the willow took the rest to wash, there was no one by the stream, and no one had to wash it themselves. Yang Liu had to start the process of wringing the water with difficulty.
A pair of hands like dead bark reached out.
Yang Liu let out a loud sound, the sheet fell to the ground, and patted his chest in shock, why did this person walk without making a sound at all?
It was an old lady of fifty or sixty years old, who looked much older than He's, and her eyes were full of kindness when she looked at Yang Liu.
Yang Liu called Grandma.
The old woman gestured, but Yang Liu didn't understand, it turned out to be a disabled person. She was ashamed of her speculation as she guessed what she meant.
The old woman pointed to the sheets that had fallen on the ground, and then to herself, and Yang Liu said tentatively, "You want to help me wring water?" ”
The other nodded.
"No, no, no." Yang Liu shook her head again and again, she couldn't wring it and basking in the sun for a while, if this old lady flashed her waist, she would be more than worth the loss. "Go ahead."
Yang Liu picked up the sheet that had just fallen by mistake, scrubbed it in the stream again, and then began to wring the water again.
Who knew that the old lady not only didn't leave, but also took the initiative to help, Yang Liu was trembling and wringed out the water with the old lady.
The old lady smiled at Yang Liu.
Yang Liu also showed a smile that was more relieved than grateful. (To be continued......)
