After packing their things, the four of them set off boldly and energetically, forgetting that the male at home had not returned yet.
After taking the boat down and landing at the turn, Zhu Yuanyuan led the way and warned, "You must remember the route. Next time, you can bring grandpa, daddy and brothers to the hot springs. It can save a lot of firewood."
Although there is no shortage of firewood due to the abundance of trees, there are also many people in the tribe. If you want to store enough firewood, you cannot rely solely on dead branches and leaves. You must cut down some stronger branches.
Zhu Xiaofen was instantly happy when she heard that it could save firewood, "You are right, taking a hot bath does cost firewood."
Before the migration to the south, it was easy to say that there were fewer people and more firewood, so there was no need to fight for it. Unlike now, the leader was worried about cutting down all the trees, and the leader even issued a restriction order. She was extremely worried these days, and was already considering burning two less kangs in the winter. , everyone squeezed in.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say a few words to my family, "Save the firewood for boiling water, and maybe the kang in the round room can be burned."
"Auntie," Zhu Yuanyuan corrected helplessly, "there must be water in the pot when burning the kang. If you burn the kang for a whole day, you won't be able to save much firewood because there will be constant hot water in the house."
There are four kangs at home, but one stove is not enough. There will be enough hot water for washing vegetables and taking a bath.
There is no hot spring that is more comfortable and convenient than taking a shower with water. I just wanted to make my grandma happy by saving firewood.
"That's right," Zhu Xiaofen accepted quickly, "Your dad and his friends are used to being rough, so they probably don't like taking baths. I don't think there's any need to bring them here. I'll ask some familiar females to come with me next time."
Grandma Zhu and Zhu Hong both nodded in agreement, "Listen to your grandma."
The minority obeys the majority, so Zhu Yuanyuan can only agree, "Okay, okay~"
As long as everyone is happy, she has no objection and she doesn’t dare to have any (?_?)!
After soaking for a while, Zhu Yuanyuan began to unpack the small animal skin bag for food, and took out three or four large leaf bags and opened them one by one, "Fried chicken, grilled pork belly, spiced beef jerky..."
It's great, she likes it all.
Zhu Yuanyuan tasted everything, not forgetting to take out the meat cake soup from the bamboo tube and eat it. After she was full, she realized something was wrong, "Grandma, Grandma, Second Sister-in-law, aren't you hungry?"
"It's okay," Zhu Xiaofen splashed in the water. "It's too dirty to eat while taking a bath. I'll eat after washing."
Grandma Zhu said slowly, "I'm getting older and I don't have a good appetite. I'll eat later."
"I haven't had enough fun," Zhu Hong's answer was simple and rude, "Be careful and don't eat too much."
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry," Zhu Yuanyuan said movedly, "I'm sensible and won't push myself too hard."
Zhu Hong responded honestly, "I'm afraid that if you eat too much and finish the food, grandma, grandma, and I will be hungry later."
Zhu Yuanyuan, "..." Bai was moved.
After soaking for more than half an hour, Zhu Yuanyuan invited everyone to go ashore, "It's easy to get dizzy after soaking in the hot spring for a long time, and your skin will get wrinkled, so we'll go back soon."
"Why are you so anxious?" Zhu Xiaofen closed her eyes and leaned on the shore to soak comfortably. She was not willing to leave at this time, "soak for a while longer."
Except for her head, Zhu Hong's other parts were submerged in the water. She also said, "I'm in good health. I'll be fine if I soak for a few more hours. If my sister doesn't feel well, she can go ashore first."
"Ah Hong is right," Zhu A'nai was still thinking about the fruits, "Didn't you say there are sweet fruits that are about to ripen nearby? Go and pick some."
Good guy, not only is he unwilling to leave, but he also wants to instruct him to work.
Zhu Yuanyuan wanted to refuse, but she was too timid to refuse, so she could only agree dejectedly.
As soon as she got up from the hot spring, she felt the cool breeze blowing. She put on the animal skin dress with a grimace and was about to go find the fruit tree. Suddenly she noticed someone with his back to her shoulders, shrugging, as if he was snickering. Angry.
"Second sister-in-law, I can't bring much back by myself, why don't you come too?"
Zhuhong didn't expect that the fire would burn her body, and she was stunned for a moment before refusing, "No, no, there are barbecues and soup. We can't eat much fruit. You just pick the ripe ones."
"Yuanyuan, go quickly, don't waste time here," Zhu Xiaofen urged.
Grandma and grandma didn't care for her anymore, and suddenly she felt like she was a little pitiful. Zhu Yuanyuan pouted and turned back towards the fruit tree every step of the way. Since the end of her second brother and second sister-in-law, her family status has plummeted.
So, what went wrong?
I couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it, so I could only go to work sadly.
Grandma Zhu was old, so she couldn't hold on for too long. She climbed ashore after eating the fruit, but she didn't say she wanted to go home. Instead, she said considerately, "Xiaofen, if you like, just soak for a while. I'll Eat some potatoes to cushion your stomach first, and then come back when you feel comfortable."
"No, no," Zhu Xiaofen said hurriedly, "I'm a little dizzy. Yuanyuan said you shouldn't soak for too long. It doesn't seem like you were bluffing."
Zhu Hong asked with concern, "Is it serious? Do you want me to help you up?"
"It's nothing serious, just a slight dizziness," Zhu Xiaofen said firmly, "I can handle it myself."
When I climbed onto the shore, my hands and feet became weak and I almost fell down.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanyuan was close, she stretched out her hand to support him, and said, "Auntie, it's true, is it so difficult to admit that you are a coward?"
Zhu Xiaofen cried violently in her heart. She was the mother of three cubs, how could she give up in front of her cubs?
She doesn't want to lose face!
"I know," Zhu Xiaofen barely maintained the illusion of calm, "I was not careful this time. I will pay attention to it in the future so that the same thing won't happen again."
She almost broke down in front of her daughter and daughter-in-law. This was such a huge blow that for a long time, the mother-in-law was not willing to go to the hot springs with the two of them anymore, and would rather take her best friend with her. Females of the same age.
Of course, my mother-in-law is old, so even if she goes to the house with her, the family won't feel at ease, so she has to take her with her to feel at ease.
Zhu Xiaofen had the right idea. She treated her daughter-in-law and daughter equally and refused to take anyone with her. Zhu Yuanyuan could only meet her second sister-in-law when she had time to go with her.
Well, her peers are indeed better. Not only can she chat with her, but they also give her a few words of advice when she has nothing to do. She is very comfortable.
Facts have proved that Zhu Yuanyuan's idea was right. When she went to the hot spring with her second sister-in-law for the second time, she sighed with beef jerky in her mouth, "There is indeed a generation gap with such a big age difference. It's better to be like this now. I won't ask for trouble in the future." ."..
After complaining a few words in succession, I suddenly felt something was wrong. Was it too quiet?
The second sister-in-law has a cheerful temperament and responds quickly every time we chat. How is it like now...
Zhu Yuanyuan was worried that something might happen, so she subconsciously looked up and saw her mother with a murderous look on her face, and she suddenly felt uneasy.
She probably didn't say anything that she shouldn't have said just now, right?
Not very sure.
Zhu Xiaofen smiled coldly, "Why are you asking for trouble? Do you think I am too strict and don't give you a chance to mess around?"
"No, no, no, Mom, please don't misunderstand," Zhu Yuanyuan said flatteringly, "I'm not talking about you, but the second brother. He likes to bully others for no reason. I'm trying to persuade the second sister-in-law to discipline him well."
"Really?" Zhu Xiaofen said nonchalantly, "This is best. I'm very busy and don't have time to beat up Zai Zai."
Zhu Yuanyuan's heart felt so cold.
