Da Ya carried the clothes to the river to wash, and carried a large basin of clothes to the river. There were some elderly women washing clothes by the river at the moment, and girls as old as herself.

When Da Ya went to wash clothes, she used a washboard and the soap pods they went to the mountain to find once a year. Each family would make some to wash the whole family's clothes.

This is just something made by their farmers. People with more money will go to the store to buy better soap, the kind of soap with a fragrant smell.

Just like the tea they use to wash their hair, they also pick up tea from the mountains to make it. It can wash the hair cleanly and make the hair black and shiny. Some people even make this tea into camellia oil, which is used for

Cook rice.

"Da Ya, your mother went to the county town to enjoy the blessings, why don't you go with her? You look at how young you are and you have to do so much work, why didn't your mother come back this month?"

An aunt in her 30s asked gossiping. Her voice resonated with others, who were really curious about this family.

There are also more people who are envious. Not everyone can earn two taels of silver.

Farmers like them have a lot of expenses a year and may not even make two taels of silver a year.

Can we not make them jealous? It's a pity that we are not so lucky and cannot work in wealthy families.

In their minds, it is better to work in a wealthy family than to work at home.

Rich people eat well and use them well! If you do well, you can get rewards.

"Yes, why didn't you two come back? Doesn't your mother want you anymore?" Another aunt asked.

"Da Ya, you have a father but not a mother." A girl similar to Da Ya said.

"My mother will be back in ten or twenty days. Don't talk nonsense. There are so many things waiting for me to do at home. How can I follow my mother?"

Da Ya was stared at by so many people and so many pairs of eyes, so she replied shyly but forcefully.

"Da Ya, your second and third aunts didn't come out to help you wash your clothes, why did you get up so early? I saw that your second and third aunts only came out to wash clothes by the river after midnight." A mother-in-law said, her words

It's almost a bit provocative.

"Yes, your second and third aunts are so lazy, why do you have to be so diligent? And the same goes for your family. Even when you are young, Erya and Sanya follow you to work in the fields." Another aunt.

said.

"Stop talking, my second aunt, third aunt, they have things to do. Our family has a division of labor, so don't talk nonsense if you don't know."

After hearing what Daya said, everyone kept talking.

Da Ya did not reply to what they said, feeling that it was too much to say and that these people were too idle. It was already past the busy season of farming, and many families had no other work to do except watering the vegetable fields.

Their family is different. Dad and grandpa are doing carpentry. Two men do carpentry, eliminating two laborers.

Daya returned home after washing the clothes. When she was drying the clothes, she saw her second aunt, third aunt and grandma and got up.

When they get up, they don't do anything first, they go into the kitchen to find food first.

Erya and Sanya have already cooked the porridge in the kitchen and put bowls of it on the table to let it cool.

In addition to porridge, there are also pickles on the table. Unlike in the north, they don’t have steamed buns to eat porridge. They only have porridge and pickles.

If someone has sweet potatoes at home, they will steam them in a pot and eat them together.

Da Ya finished drying her clothes, brought two bowls of porridge into the room, and woke up the fifth baby who was still sleeping.

Ye Shiqi was woken up by her elder sister. In the past, she would sit on the bed energetically, but today she got up lazily, rubbed her eyes that were still confused, and gestured to her elder sister: "Safety rules, safe rules."

"Wuba, you are so clean." Da Ya said this, put down the porridge in her hand on the table, took out a wooden basin from under the bed, took an old handkerchief, went into the kitchen, and put the porridge pot attached

Pour some hot water into the iron pot and wash Wu Wa's face.

"Prodigal, the water in this pot is for drinking. Does a child need to wash his face? Your grandma and I didn't wash our faces. You saw the second aunt and the third aunt didn't wash their faces. What a prodigal."

Mr. Lai was eating porridge, and when he raised his head, he saw Da Ya's movements. He was eating something in his mouth and spraying water when he spoke.

"Grandma, we haven't washed yet. It's time to wash up. The fifth baby is cute and clean. She just said she needed to wash her face."

Da Ya was suddenly scolded by her grandma. She used to operate secretly, but now her grandma found that she was a little timid, but she was very persistent.

"That money-losing kid knows how to be clean at such a young age. Who are you fooling? He's acting like a monster. He loves to be clean even though he's only a few years old. Do you think you're a wealthy lady! Isn't this a waste of water? A waste of firewood?"

Lai continued to scold, and the diners opposite her and next door all moved their bowls and stood up.

Amidst grandma's scolding, Da Ya quickly took the plate out of the kitchen, walked a few steps quickly to the room, and closed the door with "Yeah".

"Mom, what are you scolding so early in the morning? Don't children like to be clean?" Hongji felt sulky when he heard his mother scolding the children again.

"Just be a monster, I won't be able to stuff your mouth with some food." After listening to the old woman's words, Acer's father glanced at the old woman and saw that her eyes were filled with eye jelly, so he glared at the old woman with disgust.

"Mom, don't say that again. If others hear it, our reputation will be bad." Ye Shuzhi was lazy, but she didn't want others to tell her.

Ye Shuzhen also nodded and said, "Mom, do you think I won't be able to get married? It will ruin my reputation and no one will come to ask for my hand in marriage."

Lai was used to scolding those dolls, so her first reaction was to scold them without thinking too much about it.

Hearing the blaming voices one after another, Lai felt a little out of breath, but had to stop talking.

"Sister, I'll wash my face too."

The dolls in the room, while Daya was washing Wuya's face, also lined up in front of the wooden tray.

"Okay, let's wash our faces together." Da Ya was not impatient with her sisters' requests, but was very tolerant, washing their faces one by one, and finally her own.

Ye Shiqi saw that the eldest sister only had one wooden basin, so little water, and one towel to wash several people's faces. Isn't it a bit unhygienic to share the same wooden basin, towels, and water?

She had heard the curses in the kitchen just now. Sharing things was unhygienic, and not washing your face was even more unhygienic!

Ye Shiqi finally secretly entered the space and washed her face with the spiritual spring.

Acer ate the porridge quickly without eating the pickles in the process. She didn't want to eat too many pickles that were too salty. It would take a lot of time to drink water and go to the latrine all day long.

"Son, you must remember to carve the portraits of immortals today." When Mrs. Lai took her son out of the kitchen, she carved the portraits of immortals that she had been reciting last night.

"Mom, I know! I painted the portraits last night and carved them out today. Don't stop robbing them. I'm thinking of selling these portraits to make some money before the New Year."

Acer looked back at his family who were eating breakfast and stopped when they heard the words.

"Brother, if I hadn't asked you to carve it for my dowry."
