Chapter 12: Stop telling me that papaya is bad
Because her hand movements were very casual, and she "didn't understand medicine", Lu Baizhi didn't think much about it, and squatted next to her and lowered her voice: "Aunt Mu doesn't want to talk to you more about Papaya's condition, I'm afraid that I will dislike Papaya even more if you know it." I'm telling you, you have to plan for yourself. ”
Yan Qingyu actually didn't know how to answer Lu Baizhi's words!
After only a little contact, Yan Qingyu felt that this girl was very heartless, and even had a low emotional intelligence.
Although Lu Baizhi's words were not to sow discord, but to tell her the truth, some words were actually not suitable to say. After all, she can't help her change anything. But if Aunt Mu hears it, she thinks that she dislikes papaya, which is not good for herself.
Yan Qingyu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Everyone has their own difficulties, my mother-in-law is reluctant to say, maybe she has her own considerations, after all, their orphans and widows fled here to make a living, and it is also appropriate to be a little guarded." The deed of selling me is in her hands, and my fate is not up to me. As long as I am fed and clothed, I can live a good life. ”
This is tantamount to telling Lu Baizhi euphemistically that her life is in the hands of others, and others have the right not to tell her, so she should not worry about it.
However, Lu Baizhi didn't seem to understand, but asked in surprise: "What deed of sale?" ”
Yan Qingyu glanced at the direction of the door, and then lowered his voice and said: "To put it simply, my mother's family sold me ten taels of silver to papaya as a daughter-in-law, and I am a person who my mother's family does not have." The previous wedding was just a formality, but in fact the only difference between me and a slave was that I was not a slave. So, now I think it's pretty good.
Bai Zhi, I am very grateful that you can agree to lend me a book. I have food, clothing, and reading, and I don't have any other luxuries. You may not know that I used to be in my mother's house, often without enough food and clothing, and I had to work until late at night every day, and I was sick by myself, so I was lucky to grow so big.
And in the past few days at my mother-in-law's house, because of the injury of my legs and feet, my mother-in-law has not let me do any work, eating and drinking are all done, I am called to serve the table, and I have not been asked to wash a bowl. This is the first time for me to boil medicine, and it is also because she has to take care of papaya, and she can't take care of it.
What do you think I have to find fault with? I still have to find fault with suspicion, it's too ignorant! I know you're kind, but don't really worry about me. It's just that I gave birth to a few stupid children, but in fact, if I am as obedient as papaya, I am better than many bear children in the village. So, Bai Zhi, if you're sorry, don't tell me that papaya is bad anymore. ”
Lu Baizhi listened to Yan Qingyu say this in one breath, her face was full of surprise, and she reacted after a while and said, "I'm sorry, that Sister Qingyu, I should have said sorry." I don't know, your life at home was so hard before, so listening to you say this, Aunt Mu is still pretty good......"
Although I can't agree with the words that "having a few stupid children" is actually better than a bear child, looking at Yan Qingyu's situation, I seem to realize that she can't be autonomous.
opened his mouth, he still wanted to say something, but he also realized that he couldn't help Yan Qingyu change anything.
After all, he was still young, and his emotions were written on his face, and suddenly his little face wrinkled in confusion.
"By the way, your medicine is on the stove, I boiled it up early in the morning and kept it for you, you remember to take the medicine." At this time, Aunt Mu's voice came from the door.
Lu Baizhi suddenly jumped up in fright, turned around suddenly, and found Aunt Mu standing at the door of the kitchen.
And she just talked about other people, so Lu Baizhi was a little weak-hearted, looked at Aunt Mu, and then looked at Yan Qingyu, thinking about when Aunt Mu was standing at the door, did she hear her words, and hurriedly said: "That, I still have to go up the mountain to collect medicine, that Aunt Mu and Sister Qingyu I'll leave first, Sister Qingyu, I'll go back and send you a book." ”
With that, he hurriedly trotted over Aunt Mu and left.
And Yan Qingyu agreed like nothing: "Oh, okay, thank you Bai Zhi - thank you, mother!" Then I hurriedly went to drink the medicine.
I secretly wiped a cold sweat from the bottom of my heart!
Actually, she saw Aunt Mu turn back just now, and she stopped slightly because she heard Lu Baizhi's words.
She is not stupid, she is grateful to Aunt Mu for treating her generously, but she has no plans to have a round house with a fool and have a few silly children. After all, that papaya is just a "child", no matter how good-looking she is, she can't talk about it, and she doesn't have a strong heart to be a fool......
But this kind of thing can't be said, so that Aunt Mu knows that she has two hearts, and she still wants to have a good life?
Even if you want to pursue something else, you have to have harder wings.
As for what Lu Baizhi said just now, Aunt Mu shouldn't have heard it.
Even if she heard it, because she still needed Lu Nanxing to treat papaya, Aunt Mu would not do anything to Lu Baizhi.
"The food is in the pot, and you eat it yourself, as if it were the same as before." After saying this, Aunt Mu left the kitchen again.
However, after a short period of effort, Aunt Mu's mood seems to have stabilized as usual.
After Yan Qingyu drank the medicine, he couldn't help but think: I am fooling myself to get by! Otherwise, according to Aunt Mu's temper, she shouldn't care about her feelings, but directly beat her words.
But she didn't......
Afterwards, Yan Qingyu squatted beside the fire with a rice bowl, boiling medicine while having breakfast.
Looking at the fire of the stove a little, I only felt that my face was uncomfortable from being baked, and my scalp, which had not been washed for a few days, began to feel uncomfortable again, and I didn't have the heart to think about papaya.
At this moment, when he saw the soot in the stove, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey, there is no shampoo and shower gel, I can make it myself!"
Just do it, Yan Qingyu hurriedly clapped his hands, picked a large clay pot with ashes in the corner of the kitchen wall, and then poured a whole jar of ash from the stove hall into the crockpot.
After estimating the amount, he scooped water into the crockpot.
When the water entered the jar, it was soaked with ash, and there was almost half a jar left.
Soak the ashes in this way, and after a few days, it will turn into alkaline water, and when the time comes, together with the oil, you can make the simplest soap.
Although it can't be compared with shower gel or anything, in this environment, it's better than nothing.
Yan Qingyu then added plant ash to the jar, and she had to soak up the high concentration of alkaline water as much as possible, so that the soap would be easier to clump. I felt that it was almost enough, so I moved the jar to the haystack in the kitchen and covered it with a lid and hid it.
At this time, he heard the sound of Aunt Mu and Lu Nanxing talking outside, Yan Qingyu hurriedly clapped his hands, shook off the dust on his body and squatted back to the stove.
Outside the house, Aunt Mu didn't talk to Lu Nanxing, and only gave him a few steps.
Regarding Papaya's condition, the two did not say a word.
Yan Qingyu took a few glances in the kitchen, and realized that the two of them were secretive about Papaya's condition, and couldn't help but be even more curious.
At this time, Aunt Mu came over.
Yan Qingyu hurriedly lowered his head and fanned!
"You're curious?" As soon as Aunt Mu stood at the door of the kitchen, she lowered her eyes and asked.
