Chapter 200: Laundry
He Zao scoffed: "Who knows what those people think!" ”
In fact, they wished for Ma's that the stove was taken away by her, but it was not to embarrass them, but because yesterday's meal was too unpalatable, and the big house was not full, Ma secretly stole the stove into his own room in the middle of the night, and stole two handfuls of yellow noodles, and an egg, and made a yellow gnocchi, with cucumbers, and the family ate it, so they felt full and went to sleep peacefully.
Ma is also a big-hearted person who does things secretly, and he completely forgets when he gets up early the next day, that is, the bowl and pot are still thrown in his house.
After she went out, she went directly to He Xia'er and asked her to move the stove over, while she found a way to take the dishes and pots to the backyard, covered them and washed them with well water, and put them there directly, so that whoever saw them could take them.
Anyway, she won't send it to the kitchen in person, and send a handle to Sanfang's hand.
When He Xia'er came to deliver the stove, her face was embarrassed and embarrassed, He Zao squinted his eyes and thought about it, and decided to come out to see the movement, and he happened to see Ma bending down to carry a broken basket, and the enamel bowl and chopsticks in it were brushing and pulling.
Looking over at her, she almost didn't laugh out loud.
After coming back, he whispered to Chen, who paused, laughed, and shook his head and sighed: "It's all poor, but if it's a better day, no one wants to sneak around at home!" ”
He Zao did not dare to agree.
With the same temperament as the old lady, He Zao dared to conclude that even if she was really a rich old lady, her son and daughter-in-law who she couldn't get used to would still starve!
This has little to do with wealth and poverty, the most important thing is to be a measure of the spirit of the elders!
"You don't want to make any more trouble now." Chen said officially.
He Zao raised his eyebrows: "Then it depends on how my grandmother cooperates, if she insists on taking out the prestige of being an elder, then I have to be more filial and filial, and I buy more medicinal materials!" ”
Chen couldn't persuade her, so he had to give up.
What Dr. Huang said is also reasonable, Chinese medicine is put in the meals eaten every day, which is more replenishing, and it is good for the old lady to eat it.
Fortunately, when the meal was cooked, Mrs. He was not too picky and quickly finished the meal.
As far as He Zao is concerned, the other party has been hungry for two meals and vomited for so long, and there is really no stock in his stomach, and he does not have the strength to trouble the Chen family.
Ma's face was resentful, and he had to scold and vent his anger when he caught any child playing, causing him to get up early in the morning, and the old house was very lively.
He Zao suddenly missed his small home, which was very warm although there were many people.
At mid-noon, Forsythia came over with a basin of clothes and greeted He Zao: "Morning, let's go to the river to wash the milk's clothes." ”
He Zao took a look at the pot, and there were still flowers and green, obviously not worn by the elderly, and raised his eyebrows.
"That's my sister-in-law's?" She asked, picking one up.
Lord Forsythia sighed and whispered: "Our sister-in-law is so big, when did you see her wash clothes!" ”
Before He Zao thought about it, either the Chen family helped her wash it, or the eldest sister washed it, and Aunt He really didn't wash her own clothes.
In addition to Mrs. He, Aunt He's, there are two pieces that belong to Mr. He.
Washing the clothes of the elderly, this matter can be accepted a long time ago, after all, the age is not there. But Aunt He's unwilling, she reached out and took out all the colorful clothes and pants and threw them in another basin.
Looking at Forsythia's surprised expression, He Zao was very calm: "My sister-in-law's clothes are of good quality, and the fabric is different from what we use, so it can't be mixed and washed." ”
Forsythia replied half-understandingly.
He had already craned his neck and shouted to the upper room: "Sister-in-law, I put your clothes here, you can wash them with well water later, Sister Forsythia and I are afraid that the silk on your clothes will be broken, and we can't afford to pay if we sell it!" ”
After speaking, without waiting for the other party to answer, he took Forsythia's hand and ran away with a smile.
When Aunt He came out angrily, she had long since disappeared.
She was so angry that her teeth hurt, and she knew that Chen was busy working in the pigsty in the backyard at this moment, so she took the basin of clothes and went to the backyard.
When I came to the river, because the weather was cool and the water was not cold, there were quite a lot of people washing clothes, seven aunts and eight aunts, squatting by the river, desperately beating clothes with wooden sticks.
When He Zao first wore it, he didn't know how to wash clothes, or he didn't use the ancient way, he rubbed it vigorously with a handful of soap, and he could only rub out a little foam, and then he slapped it with a stick. The clothes in the countryside are already rough, and some of them are still stiff and hard when they enter the water, and they can't be twisted.
But by now, he is very skilled.
She and Forsythia are two, one pats, the other washes, and it's also quite fast.
Someone recognized the two cousins and beckoned, "Yo, have you come to wash your clothes?" ”
He Zao responded with a smile.
Forsythia is also a cheerful little girl, and she quickly talks to the people next to her. And from time to time to show the newly worn silk flowers on his head.
He Zao realized that she seemed to be dressed up carefully today, wearing pink silk flowers on her head and two pendants on her ears, which was very beautiful.
Looking at her stinging appearance again, He had already suddenly understood why she would take the initiative to pull herself to the river today.
On weekdays, she is too lazy to do laundry.
It turned out that he came here to show off.
For a while, He Zao didn't know what to say.
The daughter-in-law who asked just now had a very loud voice, leaned over to He Zao's side, and asked curiously: "Zao'er, did you and your mother really move back to your grandmother's house?" ”
The daughters-in-law on the side pricked up their ears.
Is this still news from the village?
He Zao thought about it, but with a sweet smile on his face: "Yes, my mother is sick, and I want my mother to serve me, so I will go back with my mother to take care of my milk for two days." ”
The man "tsk" twice, and his eyes turned meaningfully around the people around him, as if to say, "Look, I'm right!" ”
A few of the little daughters-in-law got together and bit their ears.
Forsythia didn't notice anything wrong, and still showed off with great interest who sent her silk flowers.
He Zao heard the words "Sister Lu Qiao'er gave it to me", and couldn't help frowning: "Sister Forsythia, was it given to you by Lu Qiao'er?" ”
Now He Zao represents the rich man in Forsythia's heart, and when she saw that she was also interested in her silk flower, she was very proud: "Yes, we went to play together yesterday, and when she came back, she gave me this silk flower." ”
He Zao carefully looked at the pink silk flower, with a modern eye, the silk flower workmanship still looks very exquisite, the flower color is a faint pink, from the outside to the inside, the color gradually becomes lighter, but the stamens are light yellow, a little next to a little, the forsythia moves, the stamens will tremble, as if alive.
The fabric of this silk flower is not good, but with this exquisite technology, He Zao also feels that it is worth a lot.
