Chapter 11 Women's Heroes
The next morning, before dawn, Zheng Yaqin left home and headed to "Taixu Temple", which was more than three miles away from the village.
Taixu Temple is a Taoist temple with a century-old history. It was located at the foot of Zuojia Mountain. It was once very popular. The people in the surrounding villages went to Guanxi to burn incense and pray. Later, it was abandoned if feudal superstitious activities were not allowed to be carried out.
When Zheng Yaqin walked to Taixu Temple, it was not dawn. For safety reasons, she walked around the temple. After confirming that there was no one, she boldly took out a small bucket from the space and went to the backyard of the Taoist temple to fetch water.
She needs a lot of water, hot water. If she boils water at home, Zhang Guizhi and the others will definitely ask questions. Moreover, the well in the village is far away from Lao Zheng's house, so it is inconvenient to carry water. It is better to come here and stay by the well and use it now!
She first made a bucket of water, took out a gas stove and gas tank from the space, stewed a pot of rice, and took out a can of lunch meat and a bag of Fuling pickled cabbage to serve.
After eating, she poured a few buckets of water, heated it and poured it into the bathtub, then soaked it in the bathtub and took a comfortable bath. She rubbed it hard and rubbed the skin on her body red, and rubbed off half of the basin's texture.
Afterwards, she took a pair of scissors and cut the two yellow and scorched braids on her head. They cut them shortly, like a man. She then used a shaving fader to shave the remaining hair on her head, and even shaved hard to shave the scalp, just to scrape the lice eggs and flea eggs on the scalp so that they would not continue to reproduce.
When she thought of the lice and fleas growing on her head, she couldn't help but collapse. She would rather bear the baldness than the lice and fleas on her head.
After shaving her head, she brushed her teeth and brushed out a mouthful of blood. Maybe it was because she had never brushed her teeth before. I remember that the first time I brushed her teeth in her last life, she also produced a mouthful of blood. Just like in this life, she didn't care at all. As long as she could brush off the disgusting layer of tartar stuck to her teeth, it wouldn't matter if she could even get some blood!
After completely cleaning himself, Zheng Yaqin felt that she had truly come back to life.
In the past few days after she came back, she was almost buried to death by herself. Her body, which had not taken a bath for several months, was smelly. She had a thick layer of texture from her neck to her heels, and her hair was knotted. Obese lice and fleas jumped and shuttled between them, and a layer of disgusting tartar hung on her teeth. She could fill her with her nails after scraping her nails.
It's so disgusting!
She buried Bati in her previous life, and she didn't feel anything at that time. She was already used to it. However, after staying with Professor Chen for more than 20 years, her bad habit of being unhygienic was corrected by Professor Chen, and she also developed a slight obsession with cleanliness.
Now, she will feel itchy all over without taking a shower, she will wash her hair every three days at most, and brush her teeth every morning and evening. She really can't stand the behavior of not taking a shower or washing her hair for several months and never brushing her teeth.
After she had completely cleaned up herself, she took out the space and the fabric and cotton that the young man bought for her and started making new clothes for herself.
There is no way. In the shopping malls of the young man, the ready-made clothes are all modern styles. There is no old-fashioned style suitable for her era. If you can't buy ready-made ones, you can only make them by yourself. Anyway, she will do them, and the cutting level is pretty good. Making a few clothes is completely a bit of a little bit for her.
Making clothes is a slow job, especially she has to do several clothes, including a cotton jacket, a pair of cotton pants, a coat, a pair of trousers, and a pair of cotton shoes.
Although there is a sewing machine, it still takes several days to make all of these.
So, these days, Zheng Yaqin has been staying in the Taoist temple, to be precise, staying in the space and burying her new clothes.
Sometimes when she is tired of cooking, she will go out for a walk around the Taoist temple, breathe fresh air, or make something delicious to nourish herself. If she can’t eat, she will keep it in the space and eat it later.
The space has the function of keeping fresh. After putting the food in, no matter how long it takes, the food will still be as fresh as it has just been put in. She took the opportunity to make more in case of emergency needs.
After several days like this, her new clothes, new pants and new shoes were finally finished. When she put on the brand new cotton coat, cotton pants and cotton shoes, Zheng Yaqin narrowed her eyes happily.
It is said that three-pointers rely on appearance and seven-pointers rely on dressing up. When wearing this new outfit, she feels better than before.
After finishing all the things that should be done, Zheng Yaqin finally went down the mountain and went home.
She didn't know that the family was going to be in chaos these days when she was not at home.
Because she suddenly left home and left for several days, and she didn't say a word to her family, Mrs. Zheng and Zhang Guizhi thought she was missing, and they were so scared that they cried and screamed.
The two of them were not worried about her safety, but mainly because they were afraid that she would run away. If she ran away, wouldn’t the deal they had agreed with the Jia family be ruined?
That's fifty kilograms of corn to save face!
If you save some food, it will be enough for the whole family to eat for a month.
If so much food is wasted, won’t they feel sorry for it?
Besides, the old white child hasn't died for Wanbao yet. She is not at home. What if something goes wrong? Wanbao is the pillar of their family. If he has a few shortcomings, how can they live in the future?
Because of worry, the two ignorant women didn't care about anything else and ran to the captain's house and cried and shouted to the captain to help find someone.
When the captain heard that the team was embarrassed, he still lost the girl. He immediately summoned the members of the team to help search everywhere. When the old Jia family heard that Zheng Yaqin had disappeared, he had been lost for several days, he immediately came to the door to withdraw from the marriage.
The reason is very simple - your daughter is not clean anymore.
It took only a few days for a good girl to leave. She was designated to run away with. They didn't want to spend fifty kilograms of corn to marry a ignorant woman.
Lao Zheng's family did not have enough food, so they all depended on the fifty kilograms of corn to save their lives. When he heard that Lao Jia's family was about to break off the engagement, Mrs. Zheng disagreed no matter what she said.
She thought that her granddaughter had been engaged to Jia Dabangzi long ago and was a member of the old Jia family. It was the old Jia family who was scoundrel who refused to take their family back, which led to such a thing. If they were willing to pick up people earlier, her granddaughter would definitely not be lost.
In other words, her granddaughter was lost, and the old Jia family took the majority of the responsibility.
The old Jia family was not willing to take such a responsibility. In anger, they started arguing with Mrs. Zheng. Both sides had their own opinions and had a big argument. In the end, they escalated to using force to solve the problem.
