Chapter 61: Make Home Like Home

Early the next morning, before the sun rose, Xia Qiqi woke up from the rotten nest where he and his two sisters slept.

She casually brushed her hair with her hand, got up and went to the stove to take the wicker branch that Chardorf had picked from the roadside last night, bit the wicker branch thinly, mixed it with salt, and washed her teeth a little.

In this era, it was more primitive, brushing teeth was either wiped with wicker or hands, and then rich people rinsed their mouths with salt water.

Xia Qiqi used two kinds of them at once, which can be regarded as a luxury.

However, this state can't go on for a long time, Xia Qiqi knows how to make a simple version of a toothbrush, and as for making toothpaste, it's even simpler.

However, none of this can be achieved yet, for no other reason, because it is too poor!

People say that matter precedes consciousness, bread is higher than love, you don't have a full stomach, just think about those things that live a good life, starvation is only a matter of time!

It was cold and windy outside, and when he got out of the stove room, Xia Qiqi shivered.

She thought about it, but turned around and went back, there was a lot of work to be done today, and when she was cooking porridge, she also put five sweet potatoes.

Two large ones and three small ones were divided among the six members of the family.

Xia Qiqi was extravagant in the porridge, in addition to putting in the meat that Yu Guixiang didn't eat last night, and fried a small plate separately Lu Jiu added some dried mustard greens to her meat yesterday, patted two garlic into it, and put some dry spicy seeds.

The fragrance and the water of the hook are going to flow out.

As soon as Xia Qiqi was cooking, Yu Guixiang got up.

The woman, who was five months pregnant, would get up early every day, cook for the whole family, and endure indiscriminate abuse from her mother-in-law.

It's not like a pregnant woman at all, you have to get up every day from morning to night.

It's more appropriate to say that animals are coming than people!

Xia Qiqi felt that in this era, the destruction of women was too serious, and she was obviously working every day, getting up early and being greedy for night.

But in the eyes of others, it becomes a dry meal at home, a person who does not contribute, and a dispensable.

But they don't want to think about it, if there are no women who work so hard at home to take care of them, men can go out to work?

Can a man wear a half-piece of clean clothing? Can you get a bite of a hot and filling meal? Can the child grow up safely?

Men look down on women like that, and they can say that they are blind and don't understand.

But the mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law survived, and she suffered, why did she have to torture the daughter-in-law?

I don't want to be okay, as soon as I think about it, Xia Qiqi is full of anger, and I want to rush to the old house and peel the dead old woman's skin.

"Qiqi, you rest, and leave the rest to your mother!" Yu Guixiang opened her mouth and said.

Xia Qiqi shook his head with a smile, "Mother, I'm done!" ”

"So fast? Why don't you want to sleep longer, girl! It's all said, it's cold in the morning, you're weak, you can't bear it, your mother will do breakfast, why don't you listen? ”

Yu Guixiang said reproachful words in her mouth, but her tone sounded more distressed.

"Mother, my body is not weak, I have raised a lot, I don't believe you look at it!" As he spoke, Xia Qiqi lifted his sleeves.

In fact, there is no difference from the past, she is still skinny, but in order to reassure Yu Guixiang, she still showed her hand generously.

It is...... Thieves are fucking cold!

Xia Qiqi shuddered and hurriedly put on his clothes.

"Mother, I'm going to call Dad and the flowers and flowers to get up!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

"Qiqi, otherwise, let your father sleep more with Hua'er and Duo'er, it's weird cold this day, I heard your father say, he doesn't have to go out today, and all the work will be done at home in the future!"

"No, mother, we have to move the house today, and I will use the wood that my father put at home to make a bed later!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

Now is the critical time, if you don't make the house decent, you won't be able to live this year with peace of mind.

"Alright then!" Yu Guixiang nodded.

Xia Qiqi woke up the three people who were still sleeping one by one, and when the three of them finished washing, the family of six began to sit down to eat.

The reason why it is said that there is a family of six is because Xia Qiqi counted the unborn ones in Yu Guixiang's belly.

For breakfast, one person has a bowl of hot porridge, a sweet potato, and a stack of fried meat in the middle.

Looking at the red dry spicy seeds on the top, Xia Duofu and Xia Xiaohua and Xia Xiaoduo drooled.

Drink hot porridge, eat some meat, the mouth is full of meat and dry spicy spicy taste, Lao Xia's family in the fourth room and a large family, at the dinner table, all laughed.

It feels so good not to have to go hungry!

After breakfast, Yu Guixiang stayed alone to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Xia Qiqi and Xia Duofu tidied up a room by themselves.

It is said that it is a pig's nest and a cowshed, but in fact, the pig and cow in it have been shoveled out a long time ago.

It has always been equivalent to the utility room, but those things are some unwanted broken things from Lao Xia's family.

The rotten windmill that has long been gone, and the children's shaking beds that have long been crumbling.

Xia Qiqi asked Xia Duofu to throw all the things out and pile them under the eaves next to him.

She went to a neighbor's house and got some wormwood, smoked wormwood in the house, and smoked vinegar.

It was only in the two shacks that Xia Qiqi began to assign tasks.

"Dad, I want to make this cowshed my own house, and then come out halfway through it to make a warehouse and store some important things for our family. Rice and dry food, as well as valuable cloth and the like, are also stored in this warehouse! Xia Qiqi said.

"As for the pig's nest, I want to make it into a stove room, our stove room is small, and our family is a little crowded to eat in it. When the stove room is transferred out, our original stove room is dedicated to the firewood room, what do you think? ”

Xia Duofu nodded again and again, "It's good, and Dad can make a stove today, but the problem is that there is no bed in the cowshed, I have to make it, it is estimated that it will take a few days, and this door is also ......."

"Dad, don't worry, I'll solve the matter in my house, you just need to put the stove on the table with peace of mind, and then move the things in the stove, cabinets or something!"

"Howler!" Although he didn't know how his daughter would solve the problem, Xia Duofu still responded.

He and Xia Qiqi worked together.

Xia Qiqi took out a bunch of tools, and pulled out a few of the wood that Xia Duofu had stored like a baby.

Xia Qiqi remembered clearly that one of the two ox carts she pulled back was a bed, although it was only half of it, it was not difficult to do the other half.

From morning to afternoon, Xia Qiqi has been busy making beds for himself, and then there is the matter of doing the door, and he doesn't even bother with saliva.

On the other hand, Xia Duofu set up the earthen stove and moved all kinds of bits and pieces out of the original stove room.

If you can't use the earthen stove right away, you have to wait for two days.

So in the stove room, only the big iron pot was left untouched.

After cooking for the past two days, the iron pot will also be removed.

Xia Duofu was busy with his work, and he went to see the progress of his daughter Qiqi, and he was startled when he saw it.

The girl's bed is ready, and the door panel is also ready!

She's moving her things into the cowshed!
