It was rare for Lu Duotian to speak so clearly and neatly.
Su Ruyi lifted the egg up and said, "Okay, let's eat the chicken first today!"
Zhang: "..."
Well, after going so far, we still have to eat chicken in the end.
The old man grabbed a dirty hen and ran to the door, followed by the dirty cows, Zhuang'er and Xing'er, who probably fell over a lot and were covered in mud.
"Grandma, this chicken is the lightest!"
He wanted to lift the hen above his head.
Mrs. Zhang walked over and picked it up, sighing in her heart. The chickens she had raised for nearly two years had become so thin. The Lu family was really embarrassed!
"Kill it, kill it, let's stew it in one pot and let everyone drink the soup."
"Oh oh oh——"
Four children jumped up and down in the mud.
Mrs. Zhang glared: "When you enter the house, you look like a mud monkey. You think the clothes can't be washed, right?!"
Clothes become brittle if washed too much and become rotten if they are torn, so the Lu family is not diligent at all in washing clothes.
Su Ruyi then remembered that the set on her bed had not been washed yet, and she had to wash it off today no matter what.
I had to wash it off early, hoping that the temperature of the space would allow it to dry out in a day.
"Mom, I'll leave the chicken business to you. I'll go back to the house first!"
She just took two steps and realized that she was still holding Dan'er in her arms. It was not convenient to enter the space. There was also a well in the space. If she didn't pay attention...
Li Baozhu, who happened to have finished washing the dishes, ran into the house while wiping his hands.
"Second sister-in-law, please help me bring the eggs, I have something to do."
Li Baozhu took it smoothly and said: "I was about to fetch water, but there is no water in the tank."
Liu Cuier suddenly stood up: "I'll go! I'll pick a few buckets and deal with them today. You can just watch the children at home, Baozhu!"
She has to kill chickens for her man, and she won't feel at ease if she doesn't do more.
With that said, he quickly walked out the door.
Mrs. Zhang sat on the edge of the bed and watched, feeling very relaxed and comfortable in her heart.
I always feel that the Lu family today feels like a family.
Everyone looked after each other and their minds were focused on the same thing.
It seems like there is really hope in the future.
Su Ruyi: "Then shall I go back to the house first?"
Zhang: "Go ahead. I'll kill the chicken."
She looked at Lu Duotian on the bed.
Lu Duotian blushed and stammered: "Mom, you go do your thing, I won't do anything stupid anymore."
Su Ruyi returned to her house and was greeted by a piece of wet mud as soon as she entered the door.
The raindrops fell down.
She looked up at the roof and saw it was full of straw.
The outer layer is made of tiles. If it leaks, the tiles must be broken or missing.
Also, the Lu family's house hasn't had its roof repaired in many years, so it's strange that it doesn't leak.
I can't care about the leakage now, I can only hope that the rain will stop soon.
She locked the door, hugged the quilt and sheets on the bed, and carried them into the space.
The space is sunny and makes people feel comfortable.
It's a pity that there is only one bucket. Next time I go to town, I have to buy some basic furniture for the space, such as buckets, basins, stools, etc.
Throwing the sheets and quilt she had slept on for who knows how long to the well, she quickly went inside to look at the beans.
Sure enough, there was an extra handful of green in the basket by the corner.
She didn't move, wanting to see if this handful of love would become more.
Then he looked around at the empty wooden house, mentally sketching out how to decorate it.
If the crops in the backyard can be harvested continuously, then she only needs to plant as many crops as possible and then arrange harvest baskets of corresponding crops in the house.
Yes, she asked her eldest brother to make the basket just for her own house.
After coming out of the house, while no one was in the yard, he quickly dragged the big wooden basin into his house.
Sneaked to the kitchen again.
Mrs. Zhang and her children were all crowded in the kitchen, killing chickens.
There was a bowl on the small bench with half a bowl of water in it.
Dalang squatted next to Zhang and caught two chicken legs. Zhang held the chicken head and was pulling out the fine hair on the neck so that he could cut it later.
The pigweed in the pot has been boiled and poured into the swill bucket. The iron pot has been washed and mixed with water and is being boiled.
Mrs. Zhang looked up at her: "What are you doing?"
Su Ruyi said: "I'll get some ashes and save them for washing clothes."
Mrs. Zhang said: "When we can't do it, why do we do it today? Do we wash clothes on a rainy day? Niu'er, fill half the basin for your third aunt."
"good--!"
Niu'er agreed with a sweet voice and happily took a basin and pushed it under the stove.
Then he brought it to Su Ruyi at the door and shyly reminded: "Third Aunt, it's hot!"
Many of them were ashes that had just fallen from the stove. Of course they were hot.
Su Ruyi smiled: "Okay, I understand."
The little boy's face turned red and he hurriedly turned around and squatted next to his grandma, obediently lowering his head.
The third aunt has changed for the better, which makes people feel embarrassed!
Su Ruyi carried the plant ashes back to her house.
She first poured well water into the basin to wet the plant ash inside and cool it down.
I tore off two more pieces of cotton cloth and wrapped the plant ashes in them.
The wrapped plant ashes were thrown into a large wooden basin.
Pour water from the well into the basin.
He squatted down and kneaded the cloth bag with his hands, and the black and gray stuff inside came out from the gaps in the cotton cloth.
The last time she washed her hair, she threw the plant ash directly into the basin. It worked, but when she pressed her scalp with her hands, she could pick out black debris...
So she carefully recalled that it would be better to wrap this thing in cloth, which could filter out most of the unused dregs.
After the color of the water turned black, Su Ruyi soaked the bed sheet and quilt cover in it.
After soaking for a quarter of an hour, I started rubbing it.
In ancient times, the textile technology was limited, and the people at the bottom used coarse cloth, which was thick and rough.
It's very hard to knead.
Just take off your shoes and step inside.
Puff puff.
Very useful.
The water, which was originally black and gray, slowly turned into yellow and black.
Su Ruyi stepped on it and looked at the sky.
It was so great, she slept in this quilt for more than ten days!
I have never had insomnia even once!
The water was really turbid. Su Ruyi took out the quilt and sheets, replaced it with a basin of water and continued to step on it.
Just like this, I stepped on countless basins of water. The color of the sheets and quilt covers became lighter, and the water became clear.
Su Ruyi took out the bed sheet and quilt and used her own strength to twist it until not a drop of water dripped.
There is no rope or pole for drying in the space.
After turning around, I looked up at the old tree above my head.
He put the wet cloth on his back, climbed up the tree trunk, and kicked off his shoes halfway up. It was indeed easier.
This old tree has thick roots and lush leaves. I don’t know how many years it has lived.
Su Ruyi carefully rode on the tree branch and spread out the cloth in her hand to dry on the lowest branch.
Then he leaned against the tree trunk contentedly and swayed his feet.
Although she was originally in her thirties, it might be because she was not married and had no children. In front of her, she looked stable and mature, but behind her back, she was often immoral. In front of her best friends, she seemed to have regressed for twenty years.
Climbing a tree for the first time in my life felt so good.
I hooked a branch and found that there were fruits on it.
