The well platform is neatly paved with pebbles, which is non-slip and will not be muddy and difficult to walk on rainy days.

There is a large locust tree growing next to the pool below, and the villagers have built a long laundry table with bluestone slabs under the locust tree, which can be used by two or three women to wash clothes side by side.

At this hour, the sun was still shining, and there was no one at the well.

Pomegranate put her clothes on the laundry counter, brought a basin of water from the pool, and was about to soak her clothes for a while before scrubbing them, when she found that she didn't have soap horn powder.

When she was about to go home to get it, she saw Jinbao's mother coming with a large basket of clothes in one hand and a laundry tub in the other, so she greeted with a smile: "Auntie, you are also here to wash clothes!" ”

Jin Baoniang hid Xiao Jiujiu from the pomegranate flower in her heart, and responded kindly: "Pomegranate flower, I'm worried about washing so many clothes, no one talks to me with me, it's a coincidence." ”

"Auntie, I didn't bring soap horn powder, I'm about to go home and get it." Pomegranate looked at Jin Bao Niang with apologetic eyes.

"Go home and get what to do, Auntie here." Jin Bao Niang put the basket full of dirty clothes on the laundry table, and took out an orange-sized soaphorn ball from it and handed it to the pomegranate flower.

Pomegranate Hua took the soaphorn dough and said with a smile: "Thank you, auntie, I will return the soaphorn powder to you next time I do laundry." ”

Jin Bao Niang laughed and said, "Look at what you kid said, you just have two clothes, how many soaps can you use, and you return it, where can you put your aunt's face?" ”

"If you don't pay it back, I'll help my aunt do the laundry later." After the pomegranate finished speaking, she picked up the soaphorn dough and rubbed it in the basin, waited for a layer of foam in the water, and then put the clothes in it to soak.

Saponaria is similar to modern soap, it is still pure and natural, does not hurt the skin, and is better to use than soap.

Jin Bao took the clothes out of the basket and piled them on the laundry table, and then went to fetch water as well.

Liuhua looked at the pile of clothes and recognized that one of them was what Jinbao was wearing today, so she found something to chat with Jinbao Niang, "Auntie, you wash so many clothes, are they all Jinbao's?" ”

Jin Bao Niang came back to the truth and said with a smile: "There is Jin Bao, and there is his father's." Tomorrow morning, they are going to work in the town, I took advantage of the good sun, washed the clothes of their father and son, and Ming'er took it away. ”

Pomegranate Hua was surprised: "Uncle Yuan Rong is also going to work on the construction site?" ”

Jin Bao Niang replied: "Not only will he go, but Jin Fu and Jin Quan will also go." ”

"They all went to work on the construction site, who will do the work in the field?" Pomegranate asked.

Jin Bao Niang smiled, "The crops that should be planted in the field have been planted, and the rest is the light work of hoeing and loosening the grass, isn't there still me and my two daughters-in-law at home!" ”

Pomegranate thought about it, and yes, there really isn't much work to be done in the field this season.

Jin Bao Niang's eyes flashed, looked at the pomegranate flower and said: "Jin Bao is sixteen in the new year, it's time to say goodbye to him, there are still a bunch of small open mouths at home, how can they be fed just by digging food in the ground!" The construction site has a high salary, and some people are willing to go, but I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up if it's late! ”

Pomegranate nodded in agreement, and praised Jinbao: "Brother Jinbao is honest and capable, which girl is lucky to marry him, and she will not worry about not marrying a daughter-in-law." ”

When Jin Bao Niang heard the pomegranate flower say this, she was so happy that a flower quietly bloomed in her heart.

The two chatted while doing laundry, laughing constantly.

Pomegranate quickly washed her clothes, and then offered to help Jin Bao Niang wash them.

After Jinbao Niang was polite, her mind moved, and she picked out a few of Jinbao's clothes and gave them to Pomegranate.

Seeing that it was only two coats, not to mention that she took the initiative to mention it, she took it and washed it.

At this time, another woman came to the well with a basin.

This person is the widow Zhang who rarely shows up in the village.

Since being reprimanded by Li Zheng, Widow Zhang has been hiding at home honestly these days, and she didn't dare to go to a crowded place anymore.

Last time, she was beaten by Cao and Pomegranate at the entrance of the village, and it was impossible for Widow Zhang to say that she didn't resent or hate, but she was afraid of Lizheng, so she was disciplined for a few days.

When I came out to wash my clothes today, I thought that there would be no one by the well, but I saw Pomegranate Blossom and Jin Bao Niang talking and laughing in the shade of the tree, she could only bask and wash in the sun, and suddenly new hatred and old hatred came to her heart together.

Now that Cao is not in front of her, it is a God-given opportunity, she doesn't believe that she can't cure this little hoof.

Widow Zhang stared at the pomegranate flower for a while, and found that the man's clothes washed by the pomegranate flower did not look like Tao Yougui's, let alone Tao Tianbao's, so she knew it in her heart, and sneered and challenged the pomegranate flower, "Yo, whose little prodigal hoof is this, and he hasn't been engaged yet, so he rushed to wash the man's clothes, do you know what shame is?" It's really a mother's birth and no mother's education! ”

The pomegranate flower does not look back and speaks clearly, after coming to Taojia Village for so long, there is only a contradiction between the widow and the widow Zhang, it is really a narrow road, where can life not meet!

I thought that the Cao family was not here, I was a bully, right?

Pomegranate sneered silently, suddenly turned around and looked at Widow Zhang, her expression seemed to be smiling, and she mocked: "A widow who has slept with many men in bed is also worthy of saying the word shame to others?" ”

"You ......" Widow Zhang didn't expect the pomegranate flower to dare to choke, and she was angry for a while and couldn't speak.

Jin Bao Niang understood that Widow Zhang was not coming at her, but this matter was related to her own family after all, she couldn't sit idly by, and was busy laughing and playing round, "The sister of the Zhang family said this strangely ugly, the pomegranate flower laundry clothes did not bring soap horn powder, I borrowed some soap horn balls for her to use, and the pomegranate flowers thanked me for helping to wash the two clothes, where did the Zhang family sister say." ”

Although the Tang family is a foreigner, they have always been popular in the village, plus the three sons born to Jin Bao Niang, all of them are tall and strong like the iron tower, and ordinary people dare not provoke.

Jin Bao Niang didn't dare to offend, but she couldn't help but be angry in her heart, so Widow Zhang gave Jin Bao Niang eye medicine: "Sister-in-law of the Tang family, come on!" I know what you have in mind, but I tell you one thing, this little hoof has a black heart, and if he marries in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to cure it! ”

Jin Bao Niang wants to be a daughter-in-law of Pomegranate Flower, but it is only her own mind, Pomegranate Flower did not express her attitude towards Jinbao, and the two adults have never mentioned this matter in person, Widow Zhang said it in front of Pomegranate Flower at the moment, she immediately couldn't hold it on her face, pulled down her face and asked: "Sister Zhang, you don't want to talk nonsense, when did I say that I wanted to marry Pomegranate Flower and be a daughter-in-law?" ”

Widow Zhang chuckled a few times, glanced at the pomegranate flower with disdain, and said to Jinbao Niang: "This little prodigal hoof runs behind Jinbao every day, I don't know which one in our village, maybe the two of them have already done that." Sister-in-law of the Tang family, why do you pretend to be confused. ”

"Sister of the Zhang family, there is no basis for the discrediting of people, and Hugh has to talk nonsense." Jin Bao Niang scolded Widow Zhang, and her face became unpleasant.

Widow Zhang* said that Pomegranate Flower does not keep her reputation, and she is also saying that Jinbao Hulai, in the future, if the two of them can't do it, which daughter's daughter is willing to marry Jinbao?

Seeing that Jin Baoniang's face had changed, Widow Zhang* hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister-in-law of the Tang family, it is true that Jin Bao is a good child, but the male doll's family has nothing to do, how can he stand the temptation." This little prodigal hoof, who goes to Jinbao every day, can't do something out of the ordinary on impulse. ”

Jin Bao Niang wants to make Pomegranate Flower a daughter-in-law, which is based on the innocence of both parties, three media and six hires, if the two of them do something bad before marriage and ruin their reputation, such a daughter-in-law will be looked down upon when they marry into the door.

She was about to refute Widow Zhang, but saw a basin of water splashed on Widow Zhang's door.

Pomegranate Hua took the pot in one hand and looked at Widow Zhang coldly, her eyes were sharp and sharp, and her words were like ice: "Don't come out to spray if your mouth is stink, go home and wash your stinky mouth." ”

Widow Zhang's face was splashed on her head, and it took a long time to react, and she pounced on the pomegranate flower desperately: "Little cheap hoof, you dare to splash me with dirty water, if I don't tear your skin today, I will live in vain." ”

The two of them were separated by a few steps, and when they saw Widow Zhang's arrival in front of them, Pomegranate Blossom calmly flashed from Widow Zhang's armpit to her side, and then raised her foot and kicked on Widow Zhang's calf.

Next to it is the pool, and the widow Zhang shook it a few times, and "poof" was planted in the pool.

Jin Bao Niang was dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

The water in the pond is not deep, and no one can drown, but the widow Zhang fell into it defenselessly, and she had to choke on a few mouthfuls of water.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Widow Zhang pounced, stood up straight and coughed hard.

"You're dirty, take this opportunity to wash yourself!" Pomegranate stood on the edge of the pool, looking at Widow Zhang's widow condescendingly, her eyes were cold and deep, and it made people feel furious for no reason.

"The little wave of thousands of people rides, before Qi Lu seduced * to lure the descendants to do that shameless thing, harming good people, so cheap simply go to the flower lane to pick up customers, and don't have to stay in the village to ruin the reputation of Taojia Village......."

Widow Zhang* stood in the pool with her waist crossed, and the foul language slashed her head and head at the pomegranate flower.

"Whoa."

Another basin of water was poured on Widow Zhang's face, and a lot of water was poured into her mouth, which was swallowed into her stomach along with the scolding.

"This water is dirty, change the basin and wash it clean." The corners of Pomegranate Flower's lips raised in ridicule, and there was no smile in her clear eyes.

She had drawn the basin of water from the well above, and she was still holding a basin in her hand.

Widow Zhang looked at the basin in the pomegranate flower's hand and didn't dare to make another sound.

She knew very well that if she opened her mouth again, the other party would definitely splash it down without hesitation, and the water would be inexhaustible.

When the people near the well heard the scolding, they came out of their homes to see the excitement.

When the pomegranate saw someone coming, she put away the basin of water and stood in the shade of the tree as if nothing had happened.

Widow Zhang hurriedly climbed up from the pool.

"Yo, what's going on? Widow Zhang, how did you get wet? Isn't it hot to jump into the water to cool off? ”

"That's right, Widow Zhang, who were you scolding just now?"

The onlookers who didn't know the truth asked about it.

Widow Zhang's * bar, la, la,
