Chapter 52: Putting into Action

Chen Feng no longer fantasizes.

Wiping away her tears, putting the hands of Hao Jiali's two siblings into the quilt and covering them, Chen Feng stood up on the edge of the bed and propped up the stool and went to the stove house.

After putting Hao Jiali's sweaty and soaked clothes in the basin and soaking them in cold water, Chen Feng cut a few thin slices of soap with a firewood knife and put them in the basin to melt them and soak the clothes together.

In this way, Chen Feng does not need to rub the soap on the clothes piece by piece when washing clothes, and then scrubbing them is much more time-consuming.

Hao Jiali went to the stream to wash clothes in winter, and sometimes in order to shorten the time for freezing her fingers, she took this method, but in this way, she had to go to a lot of soap to soak the clothes thoroughly and scrub them clean.

Chen Feng didn't think about saving this bit of soap, she knew that she couldn't wash the clothes of Hao Jiali's sister and brother a few times, simply, Chen Feng has been living with her heart for everything these days, Chen Feng doesn't want to stay up for so many years, and at this moment she is still frugal and frugal in the past, which will make Chen Feng feel that her short life is too sloppy, too aggrieved, and the death row prisoners executing in the prison have to stretch their bellies and eat a full meal before they go on the road, so she will relax and live these days!

Next, after soaking a basin of clothes, Chen Feng went to the hall to get a washboard, took the kettle in the bedroom that had not been used up, and carried the kettle in his hand, the kettle was not much left and it was no longer hot, Chen Feng had to go to the stove house and re-build the firewood to boil the water.

Chen Feng's hands need hot water to wash clothes.

Since giving birth to his son Hao Jiaming in confinement, Chen Feng's hands have more or less sequelae, as long as there is cold water, the joints of Chen Feng's wrists are inevitably dull pain.

Besides, there is a lot of cold water in the confinement, and when it comes to winter, Chen Feng's finger skin will crack one by one.

In Hao Jiali's hometown, this kind of mouth is called bursting, which is cracked in written language.

It was very painful and painful, especially when it was blown by the frost wind on a frosty day, Chen Feng couldn't get wet with Harry oil, and then wrapped these openings with medical tape, and it was worth these openings that turned white one by one, and the red flesh in the mouths could not be seen, so that these openings would not hurt and would heal slowly.

Chen Feng thought that she had no idea of living, her hand no longer cared about it on such a cold day, whether it hurt or cracked, Chen Feng wanted to do something for her two children.

Since Chen Feng's leg has been sick for more than a year, Hao Jiali has taken over almost all the housework at home alone, and Chen Feng has done some things to sit down, such as cooking rice and stir-frying vegetables by the coal stove next to the bed, as soon as she left the bed, Hao Jiali didn't let her do it.

Chen Feng often thinks that her husband is so ruthless, but her two children are so sensible and not like her husband at all, if it weren't for her own family, when she is old in the future, these two children are definitely two filial children, and it is a great comfort for her to have such two children in her life, but it is a pity that she does not have this blessing to enjoy.

Thinking that she was going to die soon, Chen Feng was willing to do it for her two children no matter what it was.

While waiting for the hot water, Chen Feng rummaged through several rooms, and Chen Feng wanted to find all the clothes, shoes, hats and other things of Hao Jiali's sister and brother.

On weekdays, Hao Jiali is too busy, as soon as the clothes washed from the stream are dried, Hao Jiali has no time to tidy them up and stuff them into the wardrobe, and when they are taken out and worn on the bodies of the three people in the family, these clothes are wrinkled like the red cabbage leaves in the snow dried with green vegetables.

Chen Feng took out these clothes again, spread them on the table one by one, flattened them with the palms of his hands, and then folded them, tied them into bundles for men and women, and separated them from the winter and summer fabrics, Chen Feng wanted Hao Jiali and Hao Jiaming to be taken away by Cao Juying and his brother without messing up the clothes of the two sisters and brothers.

Chen Feng also picked two of the best quilts with white flowers on a blue background, one with a bed cover and one with a mattress.

These two quilts were built on the wedding night of Chen Feng and her husband Hao Guang, and they were also dried by Hao Jiali's deceased grandmother, who had already passed away, and then peeled the bark of the hemp, and then cut the hemp skin into silk threads on a handloom and woven into cloth and dyed blue.

Although the fabric of these two quilts is a little rougher, it is covered with breathability when sleeping, dry and particularly warm, that is, it shrinks and shrinks badly after washing, and as long as the last time you wash it, sprinkle it on the quilt surface like the rice milk when cooking, and the quilt will not shrink badly after drying, because the rice milk locks the moisture in the quilt, and when there is water when you dry it, the quilt will be straightened by the weight of the water and stretch the elasticity of the inner line of the cloth. When the quilt is dried without rice milk, the fabric of the quilt shrinks to the size of a coat worn by a person and the square cloth used to filter the bean dregs in the tofu box of the tofu factory.

Chen Feng had already taught Hao Jiali how to clean these two quilts.

Chen Feng gave these two quilts to Hao Jiali's two sisters and brothers.

Chen Feng thinks so, he will not see Hao Jiali's sisters and brothers grow up and start a family in the future, even if these two quilts are prepared for Hao Jiali's two sisters and brothers to marry in advance, although it is a little early, but this is a matter of time, when that day comes, Chen Feng thinks that although he is no longer in this world, he has fulfilled his intention to be a mother.

And Chen Feng also thought that these two quilts Hao Jiali and her brothers will be covered from now on, and they can be completely covered until the day when Hao Jiali's sisters and brothers grow up, get married, and have children, they will not be broken, because Chen Feng heard his mother say that his mother lived to the age of eighty and died, and she had covered two quilts like this, and it was a bed covered with a mattress that had never been broken.

Chen Fengtong people in the village all know that this kind of quilt made of woven cloth with hemp is very useful, and the firmness of the hemp can be used to weave a basket rope for picking a hundred pounds of grain, and its degree of force is not worse than that of the brown rope, and the more it is soaked in water, the firmer it is, the more it is used, all the women in Hao Jiali's hometown use this kind of thread to make cloth shoes.

In addition, after so many years, Chen Feng has been reluctant to cover these two quilts, and they are arranged to cover them once in ten days and eight days for the New Year, and these two quilts still look the same as new.

If he left, Chen Feng didn't want Hao Jiali and his two sisters and brothers to go to these two relatives without even a bed and quilt, and he also asked his mother-in-law Cao Juying and his brother to spend money to buy it.

Now there are ready-made, which is equivalent to saving these two families unnecessary expenses for their two children, and Chen Feng gave these two quilts to Hao Jiali's sister and brother, which is also a little thought left by his parents to his children, many years later, if Hao Jiali and his younger brother Hao Jiaming think of their mother, they will look at this quilt and have a little comfort.

Clothes, shoes, quilts, after Chen Feng took care of the daily necessities of Hao Jiali's sisters and brothers, the rest of the family's house, self-reserved land, pigsty, and the family's altars and jars, all of which Chen Feng left to his son Hao Jiaming.

Chen Feng expected that when she left, her mother-in-law Cao Juying would first take away her grandson Hao Jiaming, which was also a root left by her husband Hao Guang, a descendant of the surname Hao, and her mother-in-law would not let her grandson Hao Jiaming go out of exile, even if her mother-in-law was also reluctant to let her granddaughter Hao Jiali go, after all, Hao Jiali was a married daughter after all, and her mother-in-law should always watch Hao Jiaming's health and safety by her side, so that the Hao family would be the successor.

After arranging these things, Chen Feng will have nothing left for Hao Jiali's sister and brother.

In the end, Chen Feng opened the box when he was married, Chen Feng remembered some silver jewelry when he got married from his mother's family, and the family had no money and no food over the years, so Chen Feng had already sold these silver jewelry cheaply to his partners who grew up together in the village as a dowry.

Hao Jiali's hometown next door to the commune is called Yongxing Commune, this commune produces coal mines and gold mines, but there is a piece that must be dug by the members of the commune, and people from other communes can only have the right to buy, under the influence of this commune, the silver ornaments of other communes are cheap in Hao Jiali's hometown and the price of selling a pound of vegetables, these silver ornaments are accessories worn by the poor, Chen Feng sold all the silver ornaments and did not sell them for one or two quick money, the money was used up in a day or two, these years, Chen Feng even forgot to use the money that sold these silver jewelry.

When selling these silver jewelry, Chen Feng didn't even leave a pair of silver rings when she married her husband Hao Guang, other silver necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and the silver collar given by Hao Jiali's grandmother around her neck when she was born, silver locks and eighteen Arhat silver bodhisattvas inlaid on her hat were all sold, including silver anklets.

Chen Feng rummaged through the box when he was married, and there was only a silver hairpin left.

It was a family heirloom given by her mother-in-law Cao Juying when she married her husband, which was personally brought by her husband Hao Guang on the side of Chen Feng's hair bun on the day of the visit, and Chen Feng was reluctant to sell it.

Chen Feng always felt that keeping this hairpin was equivalent to keeping her husband Hao Guang's heart, and if she sold it, she would have nothing to do with her husband.

Although there are Hao Jiali sisters and brothers between the two to maintain the family bond, and she and her husband Hao Guang are two completely different individuals, the existence of children can only maintain a family can not maintain the love between husband and wife, Chen Feng has deeply realized and realized over the years that he can no longer have any illusions about Hao Guang's change of heart, especially the family has reached such a situation, and it is a problem for him to even live, Chen Feng does not dare to hope for these unrealistic and ethereal things.

Chen Feng decided that the two sisters and brothers, Hao Jiali and Hao Jiaming, would not give this silver hairpin, and Chen Feng would take this silver hairpin with her own body to the grave, so that she would completely end her love and hate for her husband Hao Guang.
