Chapter 22 Let’s go to the river to wash clothes together

After pouring a bowl of clean water, Jiang Miao took it to the field and looked at the man in the field, "Cheng Huai, take a break and drink some water."

The man paused in his hoeing action and stood for a while before striding over and looking at her lightly.

"Drink water." Jiang Miao greeted him with a smile and wiped his face with a handkerchief. "Why don't you go indoors and rest for a while? It's still very hot now."

Cheng Huai turned his head uncomfortably, with the scar on his forehead slightly twisted, as if he was wondering why she didn't feel angry all of a sudden.

"Let's go, my mother asked you to help her get something. You are the tallest in the family, and neither of us can get it." Jiang Miao smiled and poked his arm.

The man's arms are firm and strong, and the elasticity and strength of the muscles can be clearly felt in the fingertips.

There was a soft touch on his arms, and the numbing taste spread to his limbs. Cheng Huai's lips immediately tightened, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and walked towards the house.

Jiang Miao hurriedly followed. As she walked quickly, she looked up at his profile with clear features and explained: "Cheng Huai, I misunderstood just now. I thought you were trying to scare me on purpose."

The man stopped and lowered his eyes to meet her bright eyes, "I didn't want to scare you."

Jiang Miao nodded immediately: "Well, I misunderstood, don't take it to heart."

Cheng Huai's eyes flashed for a moment, then he raised his feet and continued walking into the house.

As long as she's not angry, that's fine.

After entering the house, Jiang Miao was rushed towards by Dabao and Xiaobao and hugged her legs.

Yu Ying stood in front of the cabinet, turned around and waved to Cheng Huai, "Cheng Huai, help mother move the boxes off the cabinet."

The cabinet is very high, and the box is too big for Yu Ying to move the stool and carry it by herself.

Cheng Huai walked over and moved the box down, seemingly effortlessly.

Opening the box, Yu Ying took out a piece of light blue cloth with a smile on her face.

She put her hand on it and touched it lightly, "If it hadn't been for the blue cloth that Miss Miao bought today, I would have almost forgotten about this piece of cloth."

Jiang Miao pinched Dabao and Xiaobao's cheeks, led them to Cheng Huai's legs and hugged them.

Then he walked forward curiously and said, "Mom, when did you buy this piece of cloth?"

Yu Ying sat down on the stool with a slight smile on his lips: "This is the cloth Cheng Huai's father bought for me when he came to Beijing. I didn't expect so many years to pass by."

I heard that Cheng Huai's father has not come back since he went to Beijing, and there is no news about him. He still doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

Yu Ying is afraid that she will think of sad things now.

Jiang Miao turned her head and glanced at the man standing silently behind her, then turned back and held Yu Ying's hand, sitting down beside him.

Changing the subject: "Mom, this cloth is so beautiful."

Hiding the moisture in her eyes, Yu Ying's eyes brightened and she said, "Yeah, I just thought I could add it to your new clothes. They are all blue, and the color will look better when the time comes."

Jiang Miao nodded obediently and said, "Mother's vision must be right."

Seeing people crowded into a room, Yu Ying immediately put away her emotions, stood up and started chasing people away: "What are you doing in the room? All the work is done? Get out quickly, don't affect me making clothes."

Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai were kicked out. They stood at the door and looked at each other, speechless.

"Cheng Huai, go to the entrance of the village and buy some candles. Ask if there is any sesame oil and buy some." Yu Ying opened the door and said.

"Okay." Cheng Huai turned around and went to the house to get the money, and quickly went out.

Yu Ying looked at Jiang Miao again, "Girl, go to the stove to see if the medicine is ready. Don't hold it directly."

When Yu Ying looked like she was okay, Jiang Miao nodded: "I understand, mother."

When they went to the kitchen, the herbs and bone soup were still simmering on the stove. Jiang Miao first went to the bone soup and took a deep sip.

The rich aroma of meat hits your nostrils, instantly hooking your taste buds and making your mouth water.

When she walked to the other side and smelled it, Jiang Miao's little face suddenly wrinkled up. The smell of the herbal medicine was so bitter that it left her stomach.

But it looked like it would take a while, so she didn't rush to take it down. Instead, she went to pack up the dirty clothes she had changed out yesterday and planned to go to the river to wash them.

Because she was injured before, Yu Ying helped her wash it. Now that her injury is almost healed, there is no reason for her to be so lazy.

He went to the front with the basin in his arms, and Cheng Huai just happened to come back after buying candles and scented oil.

Seeing that she was holding a large basin of clothes in her hand, Cheng Huai put the things away and came over to help her hold them.

She lowered her head and took a look. In addition to her own clothes, there were clothes belonging to the whole family, which added up to quite a lot.

Jiang Miao immediately said: "No, I can hold him. Cheng Huai, go and do your work."

Yu Ying led the children out of the house and saw Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai each holding the two ends of the basin. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Miao girl is going to wash clothes?"

Jiang Miao nodded: "Well, Mom, I have some free time now, so I thought I would take the clothes to be washed."

Yu Ying nodded: "Then you and Cheng Huai go together and skate by the river and let him watch you."

I couldn't be more cautious about that river ginger seedling, so I wouldn't let myself slip.

Just as he was about to refuse, the basin in his hand was snatched away by Cheng Huai, and the man strode out of the door.

"Cheng Huai, I can do it myself." Jiang Miao hurriedly ran up, but the man seemed to be competing with her and was always faster than her.

Just stop chasing him and follow him with a mallet.

The formation was like Cheng Huai running away in front and Jiang Miao behind with a mallet to hit someone.

It wasn't until she reached the river that Jiang Miao rested her breath for a while. The job of chasing people was really not suitable for her short legs.

It was already evening, and it wasn't too hot outside. Several women were washing clothes by the river. When they saw Cheng Huai, they were stunned for a moment, and soon greeted him familiarly.

"Cheng Huai is here to do the laundry!"

"Hey, Cheng Huai's wife is here too."

This laundry place has been the first channel of information in the village since ancient times. Jiang Miao greeted them friendly: "Hello, aunties."

Cheng Huai didn't say a word, he just lifted up his trousers, squatted down with the wash basin, then stood up and took the mallet away from Jiang Miao's hand.

Jiang Miao was stunned:!!!

She walked over and squatted down, took out the clothes in the basin, and looked at the silent man beside her: "Cheng Huai, just let me wash it. You can go back quickly."

With so many people here, nothing could happen to her.

"Give me the mallet." She reached out towards him, wanting to experience this primitive way of washing.

Cheng Huai didn't give it to him, he had already wetted his clothes with quick movements, dragged it to the smooth stone nearby and started beating it.

That posture is more skillful than the aunts and aunts next to me.

She couldn't say anything for a moment, feeling like she couldn't wash herself as well as he did.

"Jiang Miao, let Cheng Huai wash it. He can wash it well!"

Aunt Li, who lived down the hill from her house, also smiled and said, "Yes, Cheng Huai loves you so much. You are married to a good man."
