Chapter 21: The Shoulder Can't Pick Up the Hand
After sleeping for a morning, I finally got much better, while Chen Yuzhi was about to start preparing lunch early.
But, I'm powerless.
A good woman is hard to cook without rice. She wants the children to eat better. After all, rushing to harvest is really a hard physical work.
There is really nothing at home that can be taken out.
There was also a lot of pumpkin added to the brown rice, and the only side dish was cucumber sauce.
Huo Dong was not picky about food either, so he ate two large bowls of brown rice with cucumbers.
He only ate the whole rice alone, and the others had a lot of pumpkin in their bowls.
There is no way, Huo Dong does the most work in the whole family.
After dinner, Huo Dong walked towards the river bank behind the house.
There is a small piece of private land here, with some fruits and vegetables planted on it. He used a dung scoop to water it all.
In fact, the Huo family's private area is well maintained by their family members, and the vegetables are all very lush.
But they were reluctant to eat it, and they had to save up the vegetables and fruits they picked, secretly exchanging some small money.
Huo Erniu's leg was not completely cured after being injured in the early years, and since then he left the root of the disease and often suffered from illness.
From time to time, it takes some money.
This is the fundamental reason for the fatal poverty of the Huo family!
After doing this, Huo Dong walked around the river bank again and finally found a cluster of umbrella-shaped plants.
This is the fundamental reason why Huo Dongda came here to work hard without sleeping at noon.
In fact, this thing is not valuable. It is everywhere in the countryside. Many people will pick it back and cook tea.
But Huo Dong knew that this was Centella asiatica and could be used as medicine.
It has the effect of clearing heat, dampness, detoxifying and reducing swelling.
It was dark last night, and he just found a bleeding-stop herb, and he didn't know if Gu Yiyi had used it.
However, looking at her white and tender skin, if there are only a little scar on her legs, it will not look very good.
So when I saw the claya, Huo Dong quickly picked it, then took it home and washed it with a worn small bowl.
There are no other suitable tools, just mash them with a rolling pin and drain the excess juice.
Then the finely ground herbs were put into a white porcelain bottle of Friendship Brand Snow Cream.
It is said that this bottle of snow cream was left by his mother when she was young. I thought it was impossible that his father Huo Erniu bought it for him.
There must be many unspeakable past events involved in the middle, but Huo Dong knew that Huo Erniu had always been very nice to him.
Treat it as your own;
As much as possible, give him the best environment to grow.
Therefore, Huo Dong never asks about those possible past events.
As a result, Huo Dong had just put away the bottle of the snow cream, and Chen Yuzhi shouted outside: "What are you doing? Why don't you rest?"
As soon as I came back to have a meal, I saw my eldest son busy and whispering. Although Chen Yuzhi was not the kind of careful mother who could ask her son every detail about everything.
But I won’t be careless, of course I also want to say hello.
In fact, I didn't expect my eldest son to reply. Chen Yuzhi had long been used to her eldest son's personality that she could not beat a single person with eight sticks.
Just as she was about to turn back and go back to the house, she wanted to help Erniu apply her legs again.
But suddenly I heard the voice of my eldest son:
"Mom, do you like snow cream in the girl's house?"
Chen Yuzhi was a little confused, suspected that she had heard it wrong, so she turned around and looked at Huo Dong: "What did you ask me just now?"
Huo Dong also realized that it was not good, so he asked what it was useful, just saying that he would not practice fake styles.
Therefore, he just said with a straight face: "I didn't say anything."
Chen Yuzhi curled her lips, why did she give birth to such a donkey?
In fact, Huo Dong can't marry a wife until now, not just because their family is poor.
It also has a direct relationship with Huo Dong's own personality, right?
Chen Yuzhi thought so, this son's personality is not like himself at all.
Of course, it's not like Huo Erniu, but like...
Thinking of the person who was already buried deep in my memory, Chen Yuzhi felt so stupid again.
He was so cruel that he could leave for so many years without any news. Why did she still have to worry about that heartless person?
Not to mention that the Huo family and Gu family are basically like this, in fact, most people’s lives are so boring now.
Anyway, day after day after year, isn’t the biggest hope of rural people to be their wives and children?
People live for one breath, and hope that tomorrow can be better.
I had another busy afternoon. In the evening, Gu Yiyi stood by the wellhead to wash her hair.
These days, even the most contemporary bee flower shampoo in her memory has not yet come out. It was her mother who picked fresh hibiscus leaves from the hibiscus tree on the roadside.
Clean the leaves with warm water, then rub them out of foam to serve as shampoo.
Not to mention, the effect is pretty good.
Although the material conditions are not good now, shampoo is made naturally without conditioner or anything else, Gu Yiyi thinks her hair is pretty good.
This was a day outside, and even if she was just sitting in the warehouse, she was covered in dust on her face.
It is very necessary to wash your hair in time after you come back.
Fortunately, Lin Liqin is willing to help her daughter.
Otherwise, Gu Yiyi's long black hair that is close to her waist will be inconvenient whether to wash or wipe and dry.
Speaking of which, Lin Liqin was in a very happy mood when she helped her daughter sort out her baby black hair.
She is the eldest sister of the family. Her parents are in poor health and have to take care of their younger siblings. It can be said that Liqin Kobayashi has suffered a lot since she was a child.
At that time, there was no time to organize it, so the girl's long hair was cut off and she went to the commune to exchange it for a cent.
When she arrived at her precious daughter, Lin Liqin loved her very much, and she wanted to give all the best in the world to her own daughter.
So even though Lin Liqin had never been optimistic about Yang Zhibang at the beginning, her daughter liked her and convinced the old man at home to agree to the two of them getting engaged.
Lin Liqin's idea changed a lot when her daughter was retired from her marriage.
I used to think that I would ask my daughter to find someone she likes to marry.
Isn’t the most rare thing in this girl’s family in her life that she gets what she wants for life?
Anyway, she and Lao Gu are not very old, and there are three brothers in the family to help.
Even if the son-in-law is not so capable in the future, his daughter's life will not be too bad.
Lin Liqin made up her mind from the beginning, even if she married her daughter, she would be generous in helping her daughter.
But, Lin Liqin's idea has changed a lot.
Their little girl is still too honest, too simple and kind, and her vision may not be good.
Some young men are good-looking, smooth-mouthed, but what's the use? They can't take their shoulders and hands, and they may have to help him with hard work if their daughter follows him in the future.
