Chapter 375: The House Ruiner in the 1970s (6)
"Yes, yes!" Xu Laosan also said the same to the men, "She can do whatever she wants! Strong? Isn't this a good thing? Great men say that women can hold up half the sky. Our family is not bright. His strength is enough to hold up half the sky. If Xiaoliang shows off his strength, he won’t be able to steal the jobs of you big men, right?”
…”
You can praise your daughter, but who stopped you? But don’t beat around the bush and scold us old men, okay?
"Third brother, you know that you have given birth to three daughters, and each one is more capable than the other, right? From now on, you will never say that you can't give birth to a son, and please spare us and don't beat around the bush all day long."
Xu Laosan snorted, like a victorious rooster, and went home happily with his wife.
It’s so cool!
The people who had squeezed them overtly or covertly before were stunned into silence.
What about "three thousand gold equals three money-losing goods, you work hard to make a big difference, and before you have time to enjoy the blessings, you become someone else's daughter-in-law, and you work in vain", and what about "after the third son of your family gets married, there will be no one to work in your family." Is that enough? What’s going on with this family? It’s a good thing that we don’t have a son, otherwise who would dare to marry their daughter into your family?”…Humph! I feel quite proud today!
have a look! Who said that his second daughter, Xu Laosan, was hopeless and lazy? Who says that if you don’t have a son, you won’t be able to enjoy the blessing of children?
“Dad, Mom, are you back? It’s a little early to go to bed now, let’s wash the clothes.”
When the couple went out, Xu Yin washed the dishes and wiped the stove and cupboards three times. The water from the first wipe could compete with ink to see which one was darker.
After finishing, I swept away the fallen leaves and gravel in the front yard and applied some water to avoid dust. Now it looks much cleaner.
The other houses will be tidied up tomorrow, and the clothes will be washed first.
Except for the dining chairs in the main room, the other benches and bamboo chairs were all piled with dirty clothes.
Most of them are couples, and some are the original couple and their younger sister.
Some of them were taken off because of the cold spring weather a few days ago, some were taken off after returning from work, and some were too dirty and did not want to be worn anymore...
There are four living people in the family, but not one of them thinks of doing laundry.
When I have no clothes to wear, I look for something in the pile of clothes that I can still make do with. I have to make do with it until Xu Sang returns to her parents' home...
Xu Yin put the clothes together without any expression, but the two large footbaths still couldn't fit in them.
…”
Facing the couple returning home in triumph, he said faintly: "Father, you are responsible for fetching water, mother, you are responsible for washing, and I am responsible for washing the clothes and drying them. If we don't wash this pile of clothes tonight, none of the three of us will be able to sleep."
…”
The smiling faces of the couple froze, and they probably wanted to pretend to be dizzy at this moment.
“Daughter, you see it’s so late...”
“It’s okay, the moonlight is very bright.”
“…Yinyin, you see your father and I have been tired all afternoon…”
“I’m tired too.”
“Then let’s all go to bed. We’ll wash our clothes tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes! Wash tomorrow! Wash tomorrow.”
"Wake up at four o'clock tomorrow to take a shower?" Xu Yin raised an eyebrow, "If you can get up, then go to bed first."
…”
Yaoshou! Four o'clock? Didn't the rooster even sing? Did you get up to do the laundry?
This girl is more ruthless than Zhou Bapi.
Finally, the couple looked at each other, sighed, and knelt down to do the laundry. I thought it would be better to wash now than to get up early.
If it weren’t for the good smoke, good wine and new clothes that my daughter promised, I would definitely fall out! Damn girl, you dare to call me!
With well water, Xu Laosan didn’t have to run to the river to fetch water, which saved him a lot of effort. But with so many clothes from starching to watering, it took a lot of buckets of well water. He fetched a bucket of water and beat his waist and said, "Oh! My back is sore!"
“My hands are still sore!” Chen Huilan sat on a small bench, holding a washboard and rubbing her clothes.
Originally, I wanted to do the math a few times, but my daughter’s eyes were dazzling:
“Mom, I haven’t rubbed my collar yet.”
“Mom, the cuffs are still very dirty.”
"Mom, why don't I switch with you? You come over to the water to dry it, and I'll wash it."
When Chen Huilan heard this, how could it be done? It was so tiring to cross the water. There was a top made for the third child from the work cloth that the old man's work sent out for the holidays. It was very heavy after being soaked in water, and she had to wring it out, which she couldn't bear.
What’s more, it’s not just this one, there are other clothes.
With so many clothes hanging out in the water, can you still lift your arms tomorrow?
“Well, Yin Yin, the sapodilla beans your sister picked last time are almost used up, so why not make do with it?”
Xu Yin glanced at it and saw that there were indeed not many left: "It's okay. I'll pick it tomorrow. I've washed enough for today."
…”
The lazy girl had no choice but to rework the clothes and take them back and wash them again.
Oh, I’m so tired!
The two of them sighed inwardly.
Xu Yin was lucky to have divine power, otherwise she would have collapsed from exhaustion.
After all the clothes were rinsed, wrung out and hung up on the clothes pole, not only the lazy couple but also Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom and dad, you have worked hard today. I will cook you a bowl of noodles for midnight snack. After eating, go to bed."
And late night snacks?
The lazy couple instantly forgot about the hard work of fetching water and washing. Each one became more active than the other: "My dear, go and cook the noodles. Your mother and I will take care of the rest."
“Yes, yes, you are not needed here.”
Xu Yin couldn't help laughing: "Thank you for your hard work, parents."
“No hard work, no hard work.”
It’s nothing to worry about if you have something to eat.
Xu Yin cooked them a bowl of pickled vegetables, mushrooms and egg noodles.
The pickled vegetables are from home, and of course they are not pickled by Chen Huilan. She likes to eat them but doesn’t like pickling them. All the pickles and pickles at home were made by Xu Sang when she returned to her parents’ home.
Thinking about the married eldest sister, Xu Yin admired her from the bottom of her heart.
He has the power to add himself. If you do so much work, even if you are not tired, you are very tired, but Xu Sang really paid for this family. It is not easy!
Xu Yin got the mushrooms and eggs from the system warehouse.
But what she picked were humble mushrooms and wild eggs.
There is a mountain behind the brigade, called Qixing Mountain. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was called Qixian Mountain. According to legend, it was the place where the seven fairies bathed when they came to earth. Later, I felt that the word "Xian" had a feudal flavor, so I changed its name to Qixing Mountain.
Those who are more diligent will go to the foot of the mountain to pick mushrooms and occasionally pick up a few wild eggs.
But in the Xu family, except before Xu Sang got married, mushrooms, wild vegetables, and occasionally a few wild eggs could often be seen on the dining table. After Xu Sang got married, the number of times she returned to her natal family was limited, except for Xu Lan who would be with her friends. Go dig a basket of wild vegetables and come back, don't expect anyone else.
Xu Laosan was happy when he saw that there were still eggs: "My dear, did you go up the mountain in the afternoon? You were lucky, you actually picked up wild eggs."
Chen Huilan took a sip of the noodle soup from the soup bowl and sighed with satisfaction: "It's so delicious! I found that Yinyin's cooking skills are better than Sang Sang's. I think the noodles made here are more delicious than the shredded pork noodles in state-owned restaurants!" "
