Abandoned Wife Headed Home: Bringing Fubao to Farming

Chapter 70 Domineering
Second, firewood is troublesome.

Every household is equipped with earthen pots and stoves. There is no natural gas or induction cooker, and all they eat are firewood rice.

In later generations, many people like to go to farmhouses to experience firewood rice and drink rice soup, thinking that it is a kind of health preservation and a novelty.

However, only when you are really in this backward era, in the countryside, will you understand how much firewood farmers need to spend to cook a meal!

Firewood is really a consumable item, and collecting firewood is also a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task, so farmers usually cook meals twice a day, and only have hot water for drinking twice a day.

At other times, there is basically no fire, and naturally there is no hot water to drink.

Even when the cooled hot water is gone, they will directly drink the raw water in the water tank.

The third point is the general consciousness of people in this era.

They don't know how many bacteria are contained in raw water. They see that poultry and livestock drink it in this way, so they think that people can drink it in the same way.

Therefore, many people die of abdominal pain and various gastrointestinal infections every year.

But even in that case, everyone will never suspect that it is a water source problem just because it is other diseases, or it is God's retribution!

In later generations, a series of diseases were caused by the problem of raw water. Huaguo once launched a large-scale nationwide campaign against schistosomiasis in water. Those infected by schistosomiasis swollen their stomachs more terrible than a ball!
Later, the great man who was unprecedented and never came again, who was concerned about the safety of the common people, stood up and called on everyone to drink boiled water, and the situation gradually improved.

In later generations, almost even children know that unboiled water cannot be drunk, and it will cause stomach pains.

However, in this era, the rural people under the feudal society did not have this awareness.

"Is firewood precious? Or Ma Guizhi's dead body and two lives?"

Shen Ying'er didn't bother to popularize science knowledge with her sister-in-law Fan Shui'e, so she directly asked her a cold question.

"If you don't listen, then just pretend I didn't say anything, and if something goes wrong later, don't look for me!" Shen Ying'er said again.

Fan Shui'e was completely stunned.

She just asked casually, why are the fourth siblings so hot-tempered?

This... people who have died once are different!
Domineering!

On the bed, because of two rounds of needles, the pain has been relieved by [-] to [-]%, and Ma Guizhi, whose bleeding has been stopped, feels alive again.

She heard the conversation between Shen Yinger and Fan Shui'e clearly.

So, she beat the edge of the bed vigorously, gritted her teeth, and warned Fan Shui'e: "Sister-in-law, listen to the fourth sibling. The fourth sibling can do whatever they want. If anyone harms me and the son in my belly, I will never let her go!"

Fan Shui'e's hair was full of black lines, and she explained to her: "Third siblings, don't get excited, sister-in-law didn't say no, don't worry, sister-in-law will boil water and make brown sugar water for you!"

Ma Guizhi just gave up.

……

In the evening of summer, even though the sun has set, the temperature still hasn't dropped.

Especially in the low thatched hut, it is even more stuffy.

Shen Ying'er brought the small table and the small horse to the yard, then took out the moxa sticks she bought at Huichuntang, lit one and put it in the room where she and Xiao Fubao slept to smoke mosquitoes.

This is like lighting mosquito coils in the house for a while in later generations, and then extinguishing them when people enter the house to sleep.

But this moxa stick is a bit different from the mosquito-repellent coils. There is something called chlorofluoromethrin in the mosquito-repellent coils.

When the mosquito-repellent incense burns, chrysanthemum fat volatilizes into the air. Although it can kill mosquitoes, it is also harmful to the human body.

According to relevant authoritative reports, lighting a box of mosquito coils is as harmful to the human body as smoking six packs of cigarettes!
But moxa is different, pure natural green and pollution-free.

It can not only repel mosquitoes, but also purify the air and help you sleep.

Shen Ying'er likes moxa sticks very much, especially the aged moxa sticks are better.

Xiao Fubao was sitting in the yard, and there was a watermelon cut by Shen Yinger on the small table.

With green skin and red sac, and a watermelon weighing seven or eight catties, the couple couldn't even eat a meal.

Because there was no refrigerator to keep it, and there was no well to keep it cold, Shen Yinger cut half of it for the couple to eat, and cut the other half into three portions, and sent them to Ximei, Dalan, and Lizheng Wang Shanbao's house respectively.

Now, the two of them are sitting in the small yard eating watermelon. The western sky is full of burning clouds, and the sky is full of rays of light, making Xiao Fubao's face red and bright, with melon sacs on his cheeks and a black grain watermelon seeds.

Shen Ying'er was also eating the sweet and clear watermelon, and seeing the child right in front of her, she smiled straight into her eyes.

Precisely because I was an orphan in my previous life, I envied others to have their parents love me.

Now that I have picked up a cheap son who is so smart and cute, even though I have never been in a relationship in my previous life, Shen Ying'er is fully confident in taking on the burden of being a single mother.

Now that the family has paid off their foreign debts, they have five taels of silver on hand, not counting the two taels borrowed by Huo Sheng's family.

In addition, by treating Ma Guizhi's illness this time, he successfully got back the land deed of the fourth house.

Now the couple have rice, money, and land.

Next, Shen Ying'er set her sights on the two low thatched houses behind her.

Her next goal is to continue to save money, and then buy a piece of land to build a house again.

This location is not good, it happens to be next to the old Xiao's house, the latrine in the backyard of the old Xiao's house is at the gate of the yard, whenever the wind blows, the smell from the latrine will come into the house!
Therefore, Shen Ying'er had to save money to build a house elsewhere in the village.

After all, these two thatched huts are still the old houses of the old Xiao family, and it is uncomfortable to live here. Only in the big tiled house built by myself can I sleep comfortably!
"Mom, Fubao is full!"

After Xiao Fubao finished eating the watermelon, he hiccupped, patted his swollen belly like a little ball, and showed it to Shen Yinger.

Shen Yinger smiled softly, "Do you want to have dinner?"

Xiao Fubao shook his head: "I can't eat, I want to sleep."

Shen Yinger nodded, "Mother will give you a bath."

The bathing was also carried out in the yard. There was a big wooden basin filled with warm water. Shen Ying'er put Xiao Fubao in the water, smeared soap on him and scrubbed him carefully.

Start by washing your hair, then your body.

"Mom, this is fun and smells good!"

Xiao Fubao was very curious when he touched the creamy fragrant soap.

Shen Ying'er felt sorry for him.

Almost three years old, this is the first time to see Xiang Jianzi.

She bought this piece of fragrant soap at a shop in the town for [-] Wen. It must not be so expensive in normal times. The price of this wave of rising water has skyrocketed.

But if you fly to the sky, you have to buy what you should buy, especially in summer when you take a shower, wash your hair and wash your hands, how can you do it without fragrant soap?
For the laundry, Shen Ying'er weighed half a catty of saponin powder and came back to make do with it.

You can't save the fragrant soap for bathing and shampooing your hair.
