Chapter 28： do the laundry

For dinner, Han Yingxue fried a bowl of mushrooms, a bowl of green vegetables, and a special steamed egg custard. Cook a pot of rice.

Such dishes are considered rich in ancient rural areas.

After Mrs Zhao ate a bowl of fish meat and drank a bowl of fish soup, Han Yingxue gave her another bowl of rice.

In the confinement period, the appetite is better, and there is naturally a lot to eat.

There was a bowl of fish soup left, and Han Yingxue put it on the table and drank the soup with some younger siblings.

"Sister, has our family been eating so well in the future?" Han Yingwu asked while taking the rice into his mouth.

"Of course! Does Ying Wu like to eat rice?"

"Mmmm, the rice is so fragrant and delicious!"

"In the future, my family will not only eat rice, but sister will also cook chicken, duck and fish for you! What do you want to eat. Sister will cook for you!"

"Sister, really? Then I want to eat braised pork. Hey, braised pork is delicious. But I haven't eaten it for a long time!" Han Yingwu said, licking the corner of his mouth.

The old Han family raises pigs, and they are slaughtered every year during the Chinese New Year, so that they can eat a little meat at that time.

Children are naturally greedy for meat such as pork when they are growing up.

Although fish is also delicious, there is no oil and water, and it can’t compare with pork.

"When my sister earns money, she will buy meat for you!"

"Great!"

After having dinner, it was still cool when the wind was blowing outside at night.

Han Yingxue boiled a pot of hot water and took a bath at night. She hasn't had a good bath after being here for so long. In this hot summer, her body is really uncomfortable.

Han Yingxue put on a coarse cloth with a lot of pudding on it, but it was still neat and clean.

Several younger siblings also let them take a bath by the way.

Zhao was in confinement, so it was inconvenient to take a bath. But in the summer, I was lying on the bed all day, and the sweat stains on my body were sticky and uncomfortable.

Han Yingxue brought a basin of hot water and wiped her body for her, always feeling better.

When he was about to sleep, Han Yingxue went to check the injuries on the man he picked up.

In the hot summer, I am afraid that it will purify, and that will be troublesome. Fortunately, the man's body is still strong. After applying the herbal medicine, the wound healed quite well.

Han Yingxue untied his clothes and brought a basin of hot water for him to wipe.

Keep the mouth clean to avoid infection.

The next day, Han Yingxue got up early.

Fried a plate of wild vegetables, put rice in the pot, stuffed firewood in the stove, and slowly boiled the porridge.

Yesterday, the whole family's clothes were changed and washed. Han Yingxue soaked the clothes in the basin and began to wash them.

There is no laundry these days, and the laundry is saponin. Wash your hair with soap on weekdays.

After the first wash, Han Yingxue put the clothes into the bucket and took them to the river in front of the village for rinsing.

Rinse at home is inconvenient, and the water in the tank has to be picked from the river.

Early in the morning, when Han Yingxue came to the river, she saw women hiding on the slate by the river washing clothes.

On weekdays, these women are busy with household chores and work in the fields, so they don’t have time to get together and chat.

While doing laundry, everyone gathered around and chatting was not a waste of time at work, so they chatted away.

As we chatted, we laughed cheerfully from time to time.

When Han Yingxue walked to the river with the wooden barrel, she found that the wooden board had already been stood up, and some people were like her, carrying the wooden barrel and waiting by the side.

Han Yingxue's arrival immediately caught the attention of these women.
