When I got home, I carried the basket directly into the west room. I hid the cultivated seeds first and then took out everything in the basket.
When Li Zhengguo came in, he saw three porcelain basins filled with things, "What are these?"
Li Zhengguo pointed to something wrapped in vines.
"We will dismantle the rabbit meat and rabbit skin at night. Leave them like this for now. You can grab some red mushroom fruits to eat."
Tian Jing took the wild vegetables to the east room and handed them to Li Minze, while she went to the kitchen to boil water.
After washing her feet, putting on nylon socks and new shoes, Tian Jing went to the east room and said, "The shoes are very comfortable, thank you, mother-in-law."
Mother Li, who was making clothes for her daughter-in-law, shook her head with a smile, "Family, why are you so polite?"
"Then I'm not welcome. Mother-in-law, hurry up and sew. Li Min, put down your sweater and help. I want to take a bath. It's been a long time."
"I want to take a shower too." When Li Min heard that Tian Jing wanted to take a shower, Li Min felt her scalp was itchy and raised her hand to scratch it, "I haven't washed my hair or showered in half a month."
"You don't get lice anymore, do you?"
Seeing Li Min scratching his head hard, Tian Jing was scared. There are many people with lice on their heads these days.
The original owner was a tidy person and had trouble taking a bath, but he always washed his hair secretly because Tian Ping had it on his head. The original owner was afraid of being passed on, so he washed his hair often.
Moreover, the original owner's hair was short and a basin of hot water was enough to separate it. Of course, there were no lice on his head.
"No way?" Li Min paused while scratching his head, "I had it when I was a child, but then my mother gave me a grate every day, and it disappeared."
Mother Li put down her needlework and took out her treasured grate from the kang cabinet. "I took it and grated it myself. There are many people in the family recently, so I don't know if it was passed down from others."
When Li Minzhen picked off a big louse, he jumped off the kang and screamed, "It's over, hurry up, wash the kang sheets and dry the bedding."
Tian Jing touched her numb scalp, "Hurry up, mother-in-law, stop making clothes and unpack the things on the kang. Li Min, you wash the bed sheet and quilt, and I'll boil water and iron all these."
Perm, then wash your hair and take a shower."
"In the future, stay away from those people. It's okay to talk and do things. Don't go around with them.
"Mother-in-law, you can wash your hair with the water in the clay pot first. When I boil the water, you can take a shower."
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each performed their duties and hurriedly started the lice eradication campaign.
After Li's mother washed her hair and took a bath, Li Min washed out the inside and outside of the two quilts and the bed sheets.
Li Zhengguo carried a lot of water back and forth, and was finally directed by Tian Jing to carry the ironed quilt's inner side to the Ku River for rinsing.
After Li Min washed her hair and took a shower, Tian Jing had no time to wash her hair, so she had to wait until after the meal. She didn't plan to wash it today because Li Min had to clean up the whole family.
Lunch was cooked by Li's mother and Tian Jing. Li Min continued to wash the quilt, washing her eldest brother's thin quilt. If it weren't for fear of lice, they would have washed them together from the beginning.
When Li Zhengguo came back from picking up the quilt, he saw his sister washing his thin quilt. He was stunned. He had forgotten that Tiantian wanted to share the quilt with him, right?
Li Min's hands were very strong. Together with her elder brother, she squeezed the water out of the quilt. With a bang, the quilt, which had been for many years, was twisted to pieces by the brother and sister.
Mother Li was so distressed that she opened her mouth to complain about her daughter, but then her daughter-in-law said, "It's just right, I'll keep the cloth and shell boards. The ones I beat yesterday are not suitable for returning to Sister-in-law Niu."
Yesterday, the cloth shell boards made from her clothes were used, and the strips were too small. The pieces of cloth on the cloth shell board that Sister Niu brought were not small. Even if Sister Niu didn't tell her, after returning them, Sister Niu's mother-in-law
Can you not talk to your siblings?
"But, but, what should I do if I'm being confronted?" Li Min asked weakly.
"You're stupid, what are all the cloths in my house used for?"
"Those are floral cotton fabrics." Li Min felt distressed. She had just followed Westinghouse to get the quilt and looked through the pieces of fabric. She liked everything.
"I bought it just for use. I also changed my mother-in-law's quilt and the quilt in my room." Tian Jing made the decision without hesitation.
Li Min glanced at her eldest brother and mother, lowered her head and continued to wring out the water. She needed to use less strength.
After lunch, Li Zhengguo let Chen Suozhu go home. Tiantian wanted to take a bath. He didn't allow other men to hear the sound here, not even Chen Suozhu, who was devoted to his sister.
After washing her hair and taking a shower, Tian Jing sat on the cool bed and soaked up the sunshine, squinting her eyes so comfortably.
Li Zhengguo was also driven to take a bath.
When he finished his work, Tian Jing dragged him to cut off the quilt and come out.
The flowered cotton cloth was cut out and soaked in salted water by Tian Jing. Li Min felt strange, but Tian Jing only gave her a few words, "It shrinks and fades slowly."
In the evening, the three women began to sew quilts.
Li Min hugged her new quilt and smelled it vigorously, "It smells so good."
"Nonsense." Mother Li glanced sideways at her daughter, "I washed it with shampoo, how can it not smell good?"
My daughter-in-law said that using shampoo to wash the area on the quilt was very effective at removing oil stains, but she used only half the bottle, which made her feel distressed.
"Hey, the shampoo is good, and my hair smells good." Li Min gave her mother a silly smile and hurriedly put the quilt on the kang in the east room.
Tian Jing smelled the faint smell of shampoo in the air. This thing is better than soap or alkaline shampoo. It has a suitable fragrance and strong detergency. No wonder it costs three yuan more for a bottle. Next time, buy a few more.
Bottle back.
Dinner is stewed rabbit meat by Li Zhengguo, spicy rabbit meat made according to Tian Jing's method.
Li Min touched her bulging belly, what should she do? If she continues to eat like this, will she make her family poor?
Tian Jing didn't want to pay attention to this sister-in-law who was hypocritical from time to time, so she went back to her west room to rest. There was no need to wash her face and feet tonight.
After taking care of the rabbit skin, Li Zhengguo returned to the room and wanted to get into Tian Jing's bed again, but Tian Jing chased him away.
"Your quilt has been washed and sewn. Also, when can I get the new quilt back? In winter, your thin quilt..."
Forced to separate from the bed, Li Zhengguo didn't change much on the surface, "It will be quick."
"How soon? I also want to go to the county town."
"I'll go to the county seat after I finish all the things at home. If it's not delivered by then, I'll go get it."
When she woke up in the morning, facing the enlarged face in front of her, Tian Jing looked at the quilt on her body again. It was Li Zhengguo's thin quilt. Could it be that she got in in the middle of the night?
The reason why she slept back in Li Zhengguo's arms was not a big problem.
The question is, why does she sleep so well every night after coming to Li's house? Is it just because of the quietness in Kushan? Is it time to make up for the insomnia in the last days?
Li Zhengguo, who squinted his eyes slightly, waited for a long time until Tian Jing got up and put on his clothes.
Since Tiantian didn't care, he pretended not to know.
In the whole morning, Mother Li made a set of corduroy gown and trousers for her daughter-in-law.
Tian Jing tried it on and found it fit perfectly, not as fat or long as the clothes at that time.
"My mother-in-law is so skillful with her hands. In the rest of the time, you can make them for yourself and Li Min and Li Zhengguo. Everyone makes corduroy. They are all fat and thin like this."
"As for the coat outside the cotton-padded coat, when I go to the county town again, I'll see if there are any cheap fabrics."
