After Xu Muzhen was exiled, he had been constantly traveling and had few opportunities to freshen up.

It has been nearly half a month since the last detailed cleaning.

She felt like there were bugs growing on her body and her whole body was very greasy.

The hair will stick together, and the oily flies will slip on their feet if they land on it.

Xu Maqian thought for a moment and asked, "Aunt Yang, can I boil some hot water at your house to wash my face?"

"Okay! If there's anything here, I'll cook it for you!" Aunt Yang agreed and walked to the kitchen.

What's the point of using some hot water? She looks pretty good, and she's from the capital. Although she's in trouble and exile now, she must have been a decent person in the past.

We are all neighbors in the front and back, and when we encounter difficulties, it is helpful to be able to help.

Xu Maqian followed Aunt Yang into the kitchen. They said they would boil water, but she couldn't really bother others.

Sometimes, you should pay attention to yourself and not take other people's kind words seriously.

For example, if I really sit there and wait for Aunt Yang to boil water for her to wash up with, then she is so expressionless and ignorant!

Even though she was using her things and using her as a maid, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Seeing Xu Muchian come in, Aunt Yang said, "Why did you bring your child in? Go out and wait! I'll call you when the water is ready!"

"It's okay, Auntie, I'll just boil the water myself." Xu Muxian sat in front of the pot, waiting to light the fire!

"Oh! You are so polite!" Aunt Yang laughed and filled the pot with water.

She secretly thought to herself, Mrs. Gu Sanniang is really a nimble person, and she is also very calculating. She can quickly adapt to her environment, which shows that she is clear in her heart and is a sensible person!

"Miss Gu Sanniang, do you know how to make a fire? Do you want me to teach you how to light the fire for you first?" Aunt Yang asked.

"No, Auntie, I should be able to use this flint. I won't be able to use it later. Can you please teach me?" Xu Mu said with a slight smile and found a handful of soft grass to use as a kindling.

He took the flint from the pot stand and started the fire with a bang.

"Hey! You can really use it!" Aunt Yang said in surprise as she watched her light the fire.

She never expected that a woman from a noble family from the capital would use this kind of flint.

Xu Muchian was also very happy, because she didn't even expect to light the fire at once.

She put the fire starter into the stove and started to light the fire!

"Auntie, if you have anything to do, go ahead and get busy! I'll boil the water later."

"Okay, you light the fire first, and I'll go to the backyard to pick the vegetables!" Aunt Yang said and walked out.

No one was watching, so Xu Mu Qian relaxed a little and called her two children over to warm themselves by the fire.

I looked at their clothes again, eh! Just like me, they were all dirty, just like refugees!

Now they need a place to take a hot bath to relieve their fatigue and remove ashes!

But that’s not the case now. It’s more convenient to take a bath or something at home!

She heated the water a little and started washing.

Before Aunt Yang went to pick vegetables again, she found a basin for them to use. Xu Maqian first used soap to wash her hair and face, which she couldn't bear, and then washed and bathed Gu Zhao and Wang Ming.

These two children are relatively small, so bathing and other things are faster!

The two little people were naked and sitting in a big basin. Considering that it was a bit cold, she quickly rubbed their bodies with bubbles and then came out.

When they came out, the two of them were still a little reluctant to touch the water in the basin.

Looking at their looks, Xu Maqian directly promised that the house would be ready in a few days and let them have a good time washing, and then the two of them happily came out to get dressed.

Seeing the smiling faces of the two people, Xu Maqian also laughed in her heart. It seemed that all children didn't like water.

The two children had clothes. The clothes Xu Muzhen's parents gave to Gu Zhao last time, Xu Muzhen was not willing to put them on for him.

On the road of exile, it is better to keep the two coarse clothes tightly and keep the new clothes!

Otherwise, given their conditions, the loving clothes made by his grandmother would have been worn out long ago!

Now that they are clean, it is a good time to wear new clothes.

It's just that Wang Mingqing's little friend is wearing one size too big. After all, the size of the clothes is made according to Gu Zhao's body size.

And little friend Gu Zhao is a whole size bigger than him!

Wearing new clothes, the two of them looked like young masters from a rich family again. This man looked noble.

They took a good bath and felt refreshed and comfortable.

As for Xu Muzhen and Gu Huaijin, they can only wait until their things are ready before they can wash them.

Xu Muzhen washed her hair and wrapped it with a cotton cloth on her head. This way it can absorb water and make her hair dry faster!

She threw out the bath water for the two children and started thinking about what to prepare for dinner!

She looked at what was available in the kitchen, there were some flour and vegetables, and some rice and grains!

Rice is a bit troublesome and not suitable to be cooked now.

As for the cereals, forget it, they all ate cereal steamed buns and cakes along the way.

It’s scary to think about it!

In addition, they needed something that was both fast and delicious, so they thought about meals that could be made from flour and vegetables!

After thinking for a moment, Xu Muzhen felt that pimple soup was very suitable! It’s quick to make and delicious!

After dinner, their family had to hurry up and clean up the house, so they couldn't delay their rest at night.

Just when Xu Maqian decided to go out to find Aunt Yang and want to borrow some flour, Aunt Yang came back from outside with a basket of Chinese cabbage.

Seeing Xu Muzhen preparing to cook, she said, "How are you going to cook, Mrs. Gu? You can use whatever is in the kitchen!"

Xu Maqian listened and felt very grateful and said, "Thank you, auntie. I want to make pimple soup and borrow some flour from you. I will buy some tomorrow and return it to you."

There is still something to be said for using other people’s white noodles. After all, white noodles in this era are very precious.

If I eat it without asking, what will they think? Even if they don't mind, they can't do this. Aunt Yang's family is not very well off and she has many children.

Aunt Yang looked at her and said, "You've done it. I still have some white flour at home, and I can let you return it there!"

"I still have to pay it back!"

Xu Muzhen poured a ladle of flour into the basin, slowly added it with water, and quickly stirred it into a fluffy consistency!

Heat the pot, stir-fry the onion, ginger and garlic, and add water!

When the water boils, add the gnocchi and stir quickly to form a flocculent shape.

Finally, add salt to taste.

Xu Muxian thought that people in her family were very deficient in nutrients, so it would be nice if there were two frangipani flowers in the pimple soup.

Thinking about it, she asked, "Auntie, do you have any eggs at home? I'm borrowing two. I'll return them to you together tomorrow."

When Aunt Yang heard what she said, she took out two eggs from the cupboard and said, "Here are your eggs. Why are you so polite to our neighbor? You have to pay back whatever you use."

Xu Mu smiled lightly and said, "You guys are not having a good life, these are precious things! How can you not return them!"

"You!" Aunt Yang smiled and tapped Xu Muchian helplessly with her finger.

Aunt Yang felt that this person could handle him even more!

She watched Xu Muzhen quickly crack open the eggs, put them into a bowl, beat them up, and quickly poured them into the pot.
Chapter completed!
