Chapter 356: Shame
"Little taro, did you pick up the fungus?" As soon as Qin Xi walked in, he saw Wan Yao sitting on a small stool, lying on a high bench practicing calligraphy.
Wan Yao's enthusiasm for learning is something Qin Xi didn't expect before, she herself is not very concerned about learning, whip it, walk a little, it's no different from a bastard.
She was able to be admitted to university, mostly thanks to the strict management of the school, more than a dozen classes a day, classes as usual on Saturdays and Sundays, and there was no time to play on her mobile phone, let alone a place to charge, she didn't want to trouble her classmates to charge her power bank, so she could only endure it herself, plus the classmates around her were very hard-working, she followed the two-year question, and the results were not bad.
"Sister, you're back."
"I picked up the mushrooms, and I also picked up some firewood and put it on the edge of the stove, so that when I cook later, I can burn it directly."
"There are a lot of mushrooms growing in the forest, and there are very few people picking them up, so it didn't take me much time to pick up half a basket and come back, which is enough for us to eat."
Because Wan Yao was a little radish head, and she was picked up by Qin Xi from outside, she barely escaped and was not called to work in the field.
At her age in the village, she can already be half an adult, laundry, cooking, pigweed, and bringing her younger siblings, she must do everything, but Qin Xi doesn't have so many requirements for her, just let her do her own thing, such as boiling water to bathe herself and wash her clothes.
As long as she has the ability to take care of herself, of course, when she and Qin Jiang are too busy, she will also assign tasks to her, after all, the rabbits at home can't be fed.
When she's busy, the rabbit is delivered to her, and when she's not busy, they're still taking care of it themselves.
The candy that Qin Xi gave her was a weapon to build a good relationship with the children, she picked two friends for herself to give candy, and sometimes, there would be children who would come to the house and ask her to fight pigweed, and look, they got along quite happily.
"Then I'll go wash the fungus first, bring the clothes I changed yesterday, you come with me, wash it and start cooking, and when the eldest brother comes back, you can eat."
Qin Xi didn't let Wan Yao go to the waterside alone, she was still young and afraid that something would happen.
After all, she has seen many examples of accidents by the water in her past and present lives, and water is too dangerous for Wan Yao, who is still a child.
"After eating, I plan to go around the forest, now that the weather is so good, it's a pity not to pick up some mushrooms and come back to dry."
Now is a good time for the mushrooms to dry, and Qin Xi will not let go of this time period.
These days, the wild vegetables grow crazy, tender and green and delicious, pinch back, roll in hot water, and then take it outside to dry, small wild vegetables, a day does not need to be used, you can dry the big ones, tear them apart and dry, that is, a matter of a day.
The dried vegetables are bundled and packed, put them in a wooden box, and take them out to eat when there is no food to eat in winter, which can save a lot of food.
"Okay, I'll be with you." Wan Yao is still very diligent in this regard.
She didn't want to, if it weren't for her sister not allowing her to go to the water, she would have washed the fungus herself, so she didn't have to wait for her sister to come back and wash it together.
The two of them took the fungus clothes and stood directly on the stone platform by the stream, and after they finished washing their clothes, they washed the fungus by the way.
There are a lot of people washing clothes by the stream, like Qin Xi and them, who only wash their own clothes, the speed is much faster, like some sisters-in-law, a big family when they wash, more than a dozen people's clothes, full of two large buckets, she feels dizzy when she looks at those clothes.
Standing in the stream, there are many people who wash their clothes on the stone platform, after all, there is no running water now, and the water in the water tank at home is all painstakingly picked back with wooden buckets, and what can be washed outside, they will never wash at home.
Not to mention, the ground is now muddy, sticky and slimy when it gets wet, stepping on a foot of mud, if you don't pay attention to it, you will fall, and few people will pour water on the side of their house, washing things or something, it is not convenient.
"Sister-in-law, I'm doing laundry!"
"That's right! Qin Xi, did you pick up this fungus in the forest? ”
"It's my family who went to the forest to pick it up, it's not bad!"
"Of course, when I go back, I will also let my mother-in-law go into the forest in the afternoon to pick up some and come back to eat."
This mushroom is better than wild vegetables.
Although it is also reluctant to put oil, one is tender and tastes good, one is bitter, and some are old and bitter, as long as people are not stupid, they know how to choose.
Not to mention, their family has been eating wild vegetables for seven or eight days in a row, and everyone she eats is green, and adults are like this, not to mention those children.
The speed of washing the fungus is still very fast, when washing clothes, fill the basin with water, first soak the fungus with water, and when the clothes are washed, the fungus umbrella covers the contaminated pine needles and soil leaves, it is soaked softly, gently pick it with your fingernails, these things will easily fall off.
As for the things that fall into the fungus folds, you only need to hold the fungus, and the fungus folds are thrown towards the water surface with slight force, and when the two meet, the dirt inside will be squeezed out.
"Sister-in-law, let's go first!"
"Well, good."
Qin Xi carried the wooden bucket containing the clothes in his hand, said hello to the sister-in-law on the side, and left.
Wan Yao also followed her, carrying a basin in her hand with cleaned mushrooms.
Qin Jiang had already returned, and he was relieved to see Qin Xi coming back with his clothes, he thought that people were still in the ground!
If he can't see anyone again, he will go to the Zhiqing Point to ask Tang Ying if he knows where Qin Xi is.
"Is there any fungus, did you pick it up?" As he spoke, Qin Jiang rubbed the child's head.
Wan Yao nodded shyly, she liked this feeling, she had only done a small thing, but she could be praised by her brothers and sisters.
"I'll cook, and you will wash your clothes."
In this kind of weather, if the clothes are covered for a long time, they will stink, not to mention, and it is easy to grow mildew, and they can't be washed off.
Their clothes have always been washed separately, unless Qin Jiang has something very important, then Qin Xi will wash his coat.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
When Qin Jiang went out, he met his brother and sister, Qin He, who had just gone out with his clothes.
However, compared to Qin Jiang, he has an extra woman's clothes in the bucket, which is Liu Mei's.
They are two people, washing each other's clothes, of course there is no problem, but Qin He is a little unhappy in his heart, he is a little machismo.
He has always felt that he is a big man, but he has to wash a woman's pants, especially when there are so many people watching, so many people talking behind his back, it is very embarrassing.
Besides, this laundry was originally a woman's business, but unfortunately, he married a lazy woman.
