Abandoned Wife Headed Home: Bringing Fubao to Farming

Chapter 37 Returning to the Village

This house is actually easy to tidy up, because it was originally a barren house.

In addition, it was washed away by the flood, and the few remaining pots and pans were also washed away.

Shen Ying'er cleaned the house inside and out, and put the new pots and pans on the cleaned pot table in the stove, and then removed the bed board and placed it in the yard to dry out the moisture.

There was a lot of noise in the courtyard of the old Xiao's house in front, apparently the old Xiao's family had also returned.

But this has nothing to do with Shen Yinger, even if they live in the front and back yards, she can still treat them as air.

Watching the sun gradually move overhead, Shen Ying'er carried a bundle of firewood from the yard into the kitchen.

There were still some sweet potatoes bought a few days ago, so Shen Yinger cut a sweet potato and put it in the pot, added water to the pot, and covered the pot.

Going to the stove, she picked up a flint and started a fire. After the pine hair was ignited, she stuffed a handful of dried thorns and vines into the stove with a fire stick.

These firewoods were collected in the mountains some time ago, so if you have nothing to do, you can go out to get some firewood for preparation, or dig some wild vegetables for storage.

Lo and behold, it all comes in handy now.

The sweet potatoes in the pot were cooked, Shen Yinger was going to pick up Xiao Fubao, but Da Lan and Ximei came together, Da Lan was still holding Xiao Fubao.

"Yeah, it's burning now? It's very quick!" Dalan and the others said with a smile.

Shen Yinger came to pick up Xiao Fubao, and let Dalan and Ximei into the next room where she and Xiao Fubao slept.

When the family separated, the mother and wife left these two old houses, with adobe walls covered in yellow mud and a thatched roof.

This time, thanks to Huosheng and Laiwang, they helped the couple replace the roof that had been rotten by rain with a new thatched roof.

"Ah, fourth sibling, what is that white thing in the corner of your wall?"

As soon as Da Lan entered the room, she pointed to the white thing in the corner and asked Shen Yinger.

Shen Ying'er was washing Xiao Fubao's hands, and before she could respond, Da Lan had already crouched in the corner of the wall and rubbed some with her fingers before her eyes, and then she rubbed her fingers on the adobe wall again and again as if she had seen a ghost. rub.

"Oh my god, what the hell is this!"

Seeing this, Ximei hurried over and asked Dalan, "What's the matter?"

Da Lan pointed to the white powder on the ground and said in horror, "Lime, it's all lime!"

With her hand, it's over!

When Ximei heard this, she also looked at the white powder on the ground, her face changed suddenly!

The reaction of the two of them made Shen Ying'er confused.

"Two sisters-in-law, what's the matter with you?"

Ximei came back to her senses, and asked Shen Yinger with a terrified expression: "Fourth brother and sister, what are you doing by throwing those things in the room?"

Shen Ying'er said truthfully: "Of course it is to get rid of the damp."

The corners of the house where the sun does not shine are still damp and moldy, and mold has grown in the corners of the walls, so she sprinkled lime powder on those places to absorb moisture and disinfect.

Ximei shook her head, "Didn't we burn plant ash before? That plant ash is used to drive away dampness, and every household uses it!"

Shen Yinger: "I also used some plant ash."

But plant ash is not as good as lime powder. Plant ash can only absorb moisture, but it cannot sterilize and deodorize, while lime powder can.

Da Lan also came back to her senses at this time, she and Shen Ying'er said in a low voice, with panic on their faces: "While we are the only ones who know, fourth brother and sister, hurry up and shovel off the lime powder, and be watched by others." It won't be good when it arrives!"

Ximei took Da Lan's words and said, "Yes, yes, shovel, shovel, and if Lao Xiao's family sees it, they should blame you again."

Shen Yinger blinked: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with lime powder? You should tell the truth!"

In modern times, lime powder is widely used in industrial construction.

Why, in their eyes, lime powder has become a horrible thing?
Ximei said: "Fourth brother and sister, you are really confused. You have forgotten what those buckets of white things that were poured into the coffin were when the fourth brother was buried last time?"

With Ximei's reminder, Shen Yinger remembered.

When Xiao Chengyuan's body was found, it had been destroyed beyond recognition, and there was still a bad smell.

Everyone wrapped his body tightly in a shroud and put it in a coffin, and then poured a lot of lime powder into it to cover up the stench...

"Sister Ximei, what do you mean?"

Ximei nodded, her expression serious: "That's right, it's lime powder!"

She then told Shen Ying'er, "In the customs of our area, no matter whether it is encoffining, burial, or showing the private house, lime powder must be used."

"Lime powder is not an auspicious thing, and it cannot be used in our mansion where living people live, otherwise it will attract evil spirits."

Da Lan also listened nervously and nodded repeatedly, "Fourth brother and sister, we will not harm you, before anyone else finds out, quickly shovel that unlucky thing, throw it as far away as possible! "

Maybe it was because of something at home, or maybe it was because the lime powder in the corner made them feel uncomfortable, Ximei and Dalan kindly persuaded them a few words, and they hurried back.

But Shen Ying'er did not listen to the persuasion to shovel away the lime powder.

She is a doctor, and no one knows more about disinfection and sterilization than her.

But she was not in a hurry to explain to them, because their thoughts had already been deeply ingrained.

She is not afraid of being seen by others, because this is her home and she has the right to dominate.

"Mother, the little belly said it was hungry."

Xiao Fubao patted her belly, and said to Shen Yinger in a childish voice.

Shen Yinger came back to her senses, bent down and touched his little toad belly, "Ah, it's really deflated, let's go, mother will serve you sweet potato porridge to drink."

The two mothers each had a bowl of sweet potato porridge. The porridge was so thick that there was no half grain of rice in it.

Xiao Fubao took a sip, then frowned and didn't want to drink anymore.

Shen Yinger knew that it was tasteless, so she took out half a catty of brown sugar bought from the shop, carefully scooped half a spoonful into Xiao Fubao's bowl, and stirred it evenly.

Now, Xiao Fubao is finally willing to drink.

"It's sweet, it's delicious." Xiao Fubao sat on the ponytail, his two calves that looked like broken roots dangled gently, and smashed his mouth with a satisfied expression.

Shen Yinger felt a little uncomfortable.

In future generations, for a child as old as him, who doesn't come with a glass of milk in the morning and evening, chicken, duck, fish, and various vegetables and fruits in different ways?

But for Xiao Fubao, it is enough to drink a bowl of sweet potato porridge with sugar.

After eating a bowl of sweet potato porridge, Xiao Fubao's stomach was full of water.

Fearing that he would be hungry, Shen Yinger took another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Shen Chenxing for him to eat.

This excited Xiao Fubao, holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his little hand, tilting his head to look at the sweet-scented osmanthus on the white cake, he was so greedy that he drooled, so he stretched out his little tongue to lick it twice to satisfy his greed.

Seeing that, Shen Yinger wanted to laugh, and patted his head, "Gulp it up, and when you finish eating, mother will buy it for you!"

Not only will I buy you sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but I will also buy you a lot of delicious things.

"Really?" He raised his head, his eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky.

"of course it's true."

"Then... Pull the hook!"

"Okay, pull the hook."
