Candide in Chronology is on strike

Chapter 356
"Little taro, did you pick up the fungi?" As soon as Qin Xi walked in, he saw Wan taro sitting on a small stool, lying on a high bench practicing calligraphy.

Wan Tao's enthusiasm for learning was something Qin Xi had never thought of before. She herself was not very interested in learning. She could only be whipped and walked for a while, and she was no different from a bastard.

She was able to get into college, mostly due to the school's strict management. There were more than a dozen classes every day, and classes were held as usual on Saturdays and Sundays. She didn't have time to play with her mobile phone, and there was no place to charge it. She didn't want to bother her classmates frequently to charge her phone. Bao Zhongchang had no choice but to endure it by herself. In addition, the classmates around her were working very hard. She followed the exam for two years and her grades were not bad.

"Sister, you are back."

"I picked up the fungi, and I also picked up some firewood and put them next to the stove. When I cook later, I can burn them directly."

"There are a lot of fungi growing in the forest, and there are very few people picking them up. It didn't take me long to pick up half a basket, which is enough for us to eat."

Because Wan Yu was a little carrot head, and because Qin Xi picked her up from outside, she barely escaped and was not called to work in the fields.

People of her age in the village can already be used as half-adults. They have to do all the laundry, cooking, weeding, and taking care of their younger siblings. However, Qin Xi does not have so many demands on her and only asks her to do her job well. Just do things like boil water for yourself to take a bath and wash your clothes.

As long as she has the ability to take care of herself, of course, when she and Qin Jiang are too busy, they will assign tasks to her. After all, the rabbits at home have to be fed.

When she is busy, the rabbit is handed over to her, and when she is not busy, they take care of it themselves.

The candy Qin Xi gave her was a powerful tool to build a good relationship with the children. She picked two friends for herself and gave them candy. Sometimes, children would come to the house and ask her to hunt pigweed. Look, they got along. It's quite enjoyable.

"Then I'll wash the fungi first and bring the clothes I changed from yesterday. You can come with me and start cooking after washing. When brother comes back, you can eat."

Qin Xi wouldn't let Wan Tao go to the water alone. She was still young and was afraid of something happening.

After all, she had seen many examples of accidents near water in her past life. Water was too dangerous for Wan Yu, who was still a child.

"After eating, I plan to go for a walk in the woods. The weather is so nice now, it would be a shame not to pick up some fungi and dry them in the sun."

Now is a good time to harvest mushrooms and vegetables, and Qin Xi will not let this time go by.

These days, wild vegetables are growing like crazy. They are tender, green and delicious. Pinch them back, roll them in hot water, and then take them outside to dry. Small wild vegetables can be dried in the sun in just one day. For large pieces, it only takes a day to tear them apart and dry them.

The dried vegetables are bundled and packed and placed in wooden boxes. They can be eaten in winter when there is no more vegetables to eat, which can save a lot of food.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Wan Tao is still very diligent in this regard.

She was not unwilling. If her sister hadn't allowed her to go to the water, she would have washed away the bacteria herself, so she didn't have to wait for her sister to come back and wash them together.

The two of them took the fungus clothes and stood directly on the stone platform beside the stream. After they finished washing the clothes, they washed the fungi clean.

There are many people washing clothes by the stream. People like Qin Xi and others who only wash their own clothes can do it much faster. Like some sisters-in-law, a whole family can be washed in one wash, and the clothes for more than a dozen people are full. Two big buckets, she felt dizzy looking at those clothes.

Standing in the stream, there are many people washing clothes on the stone platform. After all, there is no running water now. The water in the water tank at home is brought back with wooden buckets. Things that can be washed outside, They would never wash it at home.

Not to mention, the ground now is all muddy, and it becomes sticky when it touches water. If you step on the mud, if you are not careful, you will fall. Very few people pour water next to their house. Things are not convenient.

"Sister-in-law, I'm doing laundry!"

"Yes! Qin Xi, did you pick this fungus in the forest?" "My Wan Yu picked it in the forest. It's not bad!"

"Of course, when we get back, I'll ask my mother-in-law to go into the woods in the afternoon to pick up some to eat."

This mushroom is always more delicious than wild vegetables.

Although I am reluctant to add oil, one is tender and tastes good, one is bitter, and some are old and bitter. As long as you are not stupid, you will know how to choose.

Not to mention, their family has been eating wild vegetables for seven or eight days in a row. Everyone she eats is turning green. This is true for adults, let alone the children.

The fungi are washed very quickly. When washing clothes, fill the basin with water and soak the fungi in the water first. After washing the clothes, the pine needles, grass leaves and soil stained on the fungus canopy will be soaked. , pick it gently with your nails, and these things will fall off easily.

As for the things that fall into the gills, you only need to hold the fungus with the gills facing the water surface, use a slight force, and throw it towards the water surface. When the two meet, the dirty things inside will be squeezed out.

"Sister-in-law, let's take a step first!"

"Oh, good."

Qin Xi carried the wooden bucket of clothes in his hand, said hello to his sister-in-law next to him, and left.

Wan Tao also followed her, holding a basin with washed fungi in her hand.

Qin Jiang had come back. He was relieved to see Qin Xi coming back with clothes. He thought he was still struggling in the ground!
If he didn't see anyone again, he would go to the educated youth spot and ask Tang Ying if she knew where Qin Xi was.

"Is there any fungus that Wan Yu picked up?" As he spoke, Qin Jiang rubbed the child's head.

Wan Tao nodded shyly. She liked this feeling. Although she had only done a small thing, she could be praised by her brothers and sisters.

"I'll go cook and you go wash the clothes."

In this kind of weather, if your clothes are covered for a long time, they will not only stink, but also easily develop mold spots that cannot be washed away.

Their clothes are always washed separately. Unless Qin Jiang has something very important, Qin Xi will wash his coat.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

When Qin Jiang went out, he met his fellow sufferer, Qin He, who had just gone out with his clothes.

But compared to Qin Jiang, he had an extra set of women's clothes in the bucket, which belonged to Liu Mei.

They were a couple, so it was no problem to wash each other's clothes, but Qin He felt a little unhappy because he had a bit of machismo.

He always felt that it was embarrassing for him, a grown man, to wash a woman's underwear, especially when there were so many people watching and talking behind her back.

Besides, washing clothes is a woman's business, but unfortunately, he married a lazy woman.
