Chapter 17: Take some of the burden off her
I don't know how long he has been chopping wood, but there is already a half-human-high firewood piled up next to him.
Holding the axe and knife swinging very quickly, but after a while, the particularly thick wood under his kung fu hand was split in half by him.
Probably hearing the movement, he wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, raised his head and looked over, "Sister-in-law, are you awake?" Mom left you a meal, put it in the pot, it should still be warm now, if you want to eat hot, you can add firewood to heat it. ”
"Well, Hardy, where did Mom go?" She looked around and didn't see Liu Yuzhi.
"She's gone to the ground."
"Oh."
In the past few days, he has been busy with Bai Wensong's funeral, which almost made Yun Qinghuan think that there was nothing wrong.
It seems that she has not been on the ground to earn work points in the past few days, Liu Yuzhi began to panic in her heart, after all, there are four mouths waiting to eat at home, but she is the only one who earns work.
Moreover, she is also old, and she doesn't earn as much work as others in a day, but she hasn't gone to the field to earn work for a few days, and when it comes time to settle the work and divide the food, I'm afraid that the share will be even less, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for the family to eat at that time.
So, as soon as I finished breakfast today, I ran to the ground.
At this time, it is not yet the time when the farm is busy, and the work is not so heavy.
Yun Qinghuan was thoughtful, she could see that this family was very poor, since she had made up her mind to stay in the Bai family for the past two years, then she couldn't be so selfish as an idler who was hungry and hungry.
Besides, seeing Liu Yuzhi working so hard, she was a little unbearable.
It's just that she hasn't done it to earn work in the field, and it doesn't seem to have done much in the memory of the original owner.
After all, she married Bai Wensong not long after graduating from high school, and after marrying Bai Wensong, Bai Wensong was a good hand at work, and even more spoiled her, so she didn't let her go out to do farm work under the sun.
And the original owner is a girl from the city, even if the family is very patriarchal, but at most she is washing and cooking, and she has never done farm work.
Therefore, Yun Qinghuan flipped through all the memories in his mind and did not find the skills that he could farm.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
In this era of agriculture, her skills that she thought were good seemed to be useless.
But not necessarily, when Liu Yuzhi came back, she asked if there was any easier work, what kind of weeding and mowing grass for cows, she would definitely be able to learn.
It doesn't matter if you earn less work, anyway, you will contribute to this family, otherwise you will always feel uneasy.
Thinking like this, she had already walked to the kitchen, and when she lifted the lid of the pot, she saw a bowl of sweet potato porridge in the pot, which was very thick, and there was also a boiled egg and a yellow wowotou similar to that made of corn and flour.
In addition, there is a fried bean, what is surprising is that there is a little meat foam in it, although there are not much, only a few grains are visible to the naked eye, but Yun Qinghuan's eyes are still wide.
Eating meat is a big deal in this era, and how many people don't see meat once a year.
This meat should also be saved by Liu Yuzhi who is reluctant to eat it, it is salted meat.
I felt warm, touched the plate, and found that it was a little cold, so I sat down on the small bench by the way, took out a match from the matchbox, pulled it and lit the fire, and then added a handful of firewood to it, intending to heat the meal again.
This body is already weak, and the illness has not yet recovered, so it is better to eat hot meals.
When she felt that the lid of the pot was already hot, she pounded the firewood into it, and then got up to go to wash.
I took a toothbrush and prepared to brush my teeth, because the Bai family was relatively poor, and the toothbrush at home was the cheapest kind, and I didn't buy toothpaste.
Usually, Liu Yuzhi likes to pick mint and chrysanthemums, dry and mash them together with coarse salt, just use this brushing to clean your breath and clean your teeth.
Dried mint and chrysanthemums can also be soaked in water to drink, which is very practical.
At first, Yun Qinghuan was not used to brushing his teeth with this, but after brushing for a while, he felt that the fragrance of chrysanthemums and the coolness of mint were combined, and it smelled good.
At least this toothpaste is pure and natural enough, without all kinds of additives.
After brushing her teeth, she put a basin of water on the hand-washing rack and prepared to wash her face.
This wash-hand wooden rack was made by Bai Wensong himself when the original owner got married, and it was also painted with red paint, which looked very festive, and a mirror was specially placed on it to facilitate the original owner to pick himself up.
Yun Qinghuan inadvertently glanced at herself in the mirror, and then was stunned.
Since she crossed over here yesterday, she really hadn't looked at the original owner's face carefully, and when she looked in the mirror, she was shocked to realize that the original owner actually looked seven or eight points similar to her.
It's just that her skin is fairer and more delicate than the original owner's, her hair is thick and black, and her eyes are more divine.
After all, she is the youngest actress, and the director commented that her eyes can speak, so her eyes are very bright.
It took a long time to come back to her senses, and then she pursed her lips and began to wash her face, feeling that it might not be a coincidence that she had crossed over to the original owner.
After all, she has the same name and surname as the original owner, and even her appearance is similar.
After washing up, she went directly to the kitchen to eat, Liu Yuzhi left a lot of rice, and she was indeed hungry, so she ate it all directly.
When I ate the salted meat, I just felt that my taste buds began to beat, and I was very hungry.
She knew that this was not her own gluttony, but the knee-jerk reaction of this body, after all, from the memory of the original owner, she could know that although Liu Yuzhi was very good to her and ate better than them, she still rarely ate meat.
Not only because meat is expensive, but also because meat tickets are needed to eat meat, and their family doesn't have too many meat tickets all year round.
After eating and drinking, she also had a full burp, sat on the bench for a while, and then slowly got up and brushed the bowl, and by the way, she also wanted to go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables and cook at noon.
After all, Liu Yuzhi has already been on the ground all morning, and if she comes back, she will have to cook, and she will go to the ground after eating, and she will be tired to death.
Now there are many people who go to the field to earn work and do not come back at noon, and they are all family members who cook food and send it over.
In the past, when Bai Wensong was alive, the original owner cooked and pretended, and when Bai Wensong came back at noon, he brought it over to eat with his mother-in-law Liu Yuzhi.
Then I will bring back the lunch box after work in the evening.
Bai Naihan saw Yun Qinghuan picking vegetables and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" ”
"It's almost noon, isn't it? Mom went to work, I'll cook, I'll send her the food later, she still has time to rest in the shade after eating, otherwise it will be too frustrating for her to come back and cook. ”
Yun Qinghuan didn't hide it from him, she doesn't like to hide her good deeds, she likes to say it, otherwise she will be a bad seed who doesn't do anything if she stays with people who like to pretend to be invisible.
Of course, it was obvious that several people in the Bai family were not like that, but Yun Qinghuan was used to it.
Only by telling what you do will others know.
"I feel sorry for my mother, she has been tired these days, so I want to do more to reduce her burden."
