Chapter 17: The Problem of Bathing
"Got it, got it." Mu Li said, his mouth was good, but he didn't think so in his heart.
The next moment, Mu Li watched in disbelief, and her mother wiped out three pieces of salt from the salt shaker with her index finger and put them into the porridge.
So put three grains of salt in a big pot of porridge?
It's too little to stir-fry a dish!
However, Mu Li didn't dare to say anything less, because seeing her surprised eyes, Sun began to stare at her again.
Just cooking porridge without stir-frying, dinner is done very quickly, basically as soon as the salt is put in, the dinner is ready, served in a very bulky large ceramic basin, and brought out to live in the house to eat.
Her household bowl is also a bulky ceramic bowl, the size of an open palm, but it seems to be quite large, but in fact it is only four centimeters high, and the rice can hold a lot, but porridge, that's it.
Anyway, this big pot of porridge has an average of two bowls per person, and the main force is three bowls, and laborers like Mu Dad and Mu He take three bowls of porridge, while Sun and Mu Feng have two bowls, and Mu Li and Mu Xiaozhi have one and a half bowls each.
It's not delicious, Mu Li feels that this porridge is worse than boiled water, not to mention it, and there is a slight bitter taste of wild vegetables, which covers up the delicious taste of wild mushrooms.
Anyway, Mu Li is not satisfied with this meal, but it is indeed very satisfactory for others.
Although it is also not full, compared with the previous half bowl of rice to cook the whole family porridge, it is basically much better to drink water and drink enough.
After dinner, after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Mu Li had a headache again - there was no hot water to take a bath.
It's not that she can't boil water, in fact, she is already boiling water now, but the water she boils is not her share, and this water is for her family's main force Mu Dad, Sun, and Mu He.
A pot of water is used by three people, with an average of two scoops of hot water per person, mixed with some cold water to wipe the body, it is impossible to take a bath happily like in the previous life!
But now Mu Li doesn't even have hot water to wipe her body.
Why doesn't she have hot water? First, the Sun family is reluctant to firewood, now is the busy farming period, the family can't move the labor force to chop firewood, and children like Muli Mufeng can't pick up much, so they can save it.
Second, she had already wiped her body last night, that is, she had taken a shower.
People in the rural areas of the north do not have the word "bathing every day", and there are many people who take a bath once every ten days and half a month.
But Mu Li can't stand it.
It's been a few days since I've been here, and I just 'took a shower' yesterday, and I still wiped it with a little water, well, she was lying on the bed before, and she didn't sweat, so the discomfort and patience passed.
But she walked all afternoon this afternoon, and she carried Mu Xiaozhi on her back for so long, sweating a lot, okay, so she didn't let her take a bath, oh no, it was to wipe her body.
"It's not those landlords' daughters, why are you so clean!" Facing her resentful eyes, Sun Shi didn't have a good air.
She found that this daughter has changed a lot since she woke up from a coma for two days, and she used to save more than her, and she didn't put salt in the porridge, and the bath was so stinky that it didn't work for seven or eight days before she barely washed it under her scolding.
But now, not to mention the waste, I have become clean, but after a little sweat, I shout for hot water to wipe my body.
What kind of body to wipe, she works in the fields all day and sweats every day, and she wipes it once every three days.
Mu Li can't help it, she can't twist Sun, but it is impossible for her to really listen to Sun's words before washing it once in two or three days, and if there is no hot water, she will use cold water.
