After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 6 Take a Bath
It was the time when the villagers were having lunch, and there was no one at the well.

Da Lang skillfully tied the rope to the handle of the bucket, threw it down the well, shook it a few times, and the bucket fell into the water, and soon filled the bucket with water.

It's just that the bucket containing the water is very heavy, and the boy seems to be struggling a bit, and there is no rocker to support the well, it is just a bare well.

Qin Yao stepped forward to catch the rope, and lifted the bucket up with a little effort.

Da Lang watched in amazement as she lifted up the heavy bucket of water, a gleam of light appeared in her numb expression.

Qin Yao also brought over the two pots that Qin Yao drank in the morning. Qin Yao poured water from the bucket into the pots and filled the two pots.

Then he washed the wooden bucket with the remaining water and threw it down the well. He imitated Dalang's movement and shook it, and brought up a bucket full of water.

Qin Yao carried a bucket in one hand and a clay pot in the other. Dalang held the remaining one in his arms.

Xu was able to bring so much water home for the first time, and there was an innocent smile on the face of the always mature boy.

It may be that eating has gained strength, and the pace of walking home is getting lighter and lighter.

"Auntie!"

Before Qin Yao and Da Lang reached the door of their house, they saw a small figure standing there on the hillside, shouting excitedly at themselves.

Seeing her, he immediately ran down with his calves, stumbling towards her.

"Slow down!" Qin Yao quickly reminded.

However, the children who grew up in the countryside are all tough-skinned. It looked like the skinny Si Niang fell down on the road, but she got up again. She wiped her dirty hands on her face, which made her face even more discolored. She giggled and didn't feel the pain.

Siniang leaned close to Qin Yao and asked her to help carry the bucket together.

Seeing that she was not injured, Qin Yao breathed a sigh of relief and did not let her lift it. She told her to follow him and not to run away, as she would fall down easily.

Si Niang nodded obediently, and after taking two steps, she asked with concern: "Mom, is it heavy?"

"Auntie, are you tired?"

"Auntie, Auntie."

Qin Yao was a little helpless, it turned out that this was a small chatterbox.

She tried her best to answer every question patiently, "Not heavy, not tired."

Erlang and Sanlang have already wiped away the dirt in the empty water tank. The three brothers are weak and usually only use buckets to fetch water. This water tank has not been used for a long time.

Qin Yao signaled Si Niang, who was following behind her, to back off, and poured the water from the bucket into the water tank.

A bucket of water plus two earthenware pots is only one-third full, and it takes two trips to fill it up.

Looking back at the four Liu brothers and sisters standing in front of them, Qin Yao began to assign work.

"The house is too dirty. Erlang Saburo and you two took the broom and cleaned the two rooms. Dalang and I continued to fetch water and came back. By the way, we will boil another pot of hot water and wash everything later."

Da Lang couldn't help but asked worriedly, "What about the field?"

The wheat in other people's homes is almost finished, but theirs hasn't started planting yet.

In Da Lang's eyes, nothing is as important as farming. The weather is perfect these two days. If the season is missed, the wheat will not grow well.

Of course Qin Yao knows that farming is important, but the current situation is that the family doesn't even have wheat seeds, so what kind of seeds are there?

“There’s no rush to farm, let’s clean the house where we’ll sleep tonight.”

After finishing speaking, he filled the iron pot on the stove with water, brought up the empty bucket and earthenware pot, motioned Dalang to follow, and walked towards the village.

Seeing that the second and third brothers were still in a daze, Si Niang went to get the broom by herself and began to sweep the house.

You can't be wrong if you listen to Aniang!
Liu Erlang couldn't understand what this stepmother was thinking. The house had been the same for so many years, so why did it have to be cleaned?

San Lang tugged at his brother's arm, "Second brother, if we are disobedient, will the stepmother beat me up?"

The two brothers looked at each other, and couldn't help thinking of Qin Yao's fierce appearance when he picked up the knife with one hand just now. They all shivered, and immediately boiled water, swept the floor, and wiped the table.

By the time Qin Yao filled the water tank, the ground of the house had been swept clean by the three brothers and sisters who stayed at home, and the rubbish was thrown directly under the big tree behind the house.

A low table with lame legs in the main room was also wiped clean, and the ground in front of the door was also swept, leaving only the high cobwebs that had not been removed due to height restrictions.

Qin Yao checked it and found she was satisfied. The water in the pot happened to boil, so she dug out a heavy old wooden basin under the bed, filled it with hot water, and called Siniang and Sanlang into the room to take a bath.

The sun is just right now, so you can wash up quickly to avoid catching a cold.

The twins' hair hasn't been washed for some time, and it's all tangled together. If there were scissors, Qin Yao would have cut them all off.

Unfortunately not.

Qin Yao helped Si Niang undress and let San Lang undress himself. Although the two were only four years old, they had no mother and didn't care since they were young. They had already learned to dress and put on their own shoes, and they could even help their elder brother with work in the field.

Siniang happily jumped into the basin, while Sanlang covered his clothes and twisted.

Qin Yao was in a hurry, and the sun was not always in the sky, so her tone was heavy, "Sanlang, hurry up."

Urging, the hands kept moving, and the baby was rubbed into the water. It looked very fierce, but she controlled the strength, and Siniang didn't feel any pain at all.

But in Saburo's eyes, it was another terrifying scene.

The mud on the child's body was thick, and after washing it once, the water became muddy. Qin Yao immediately went outside and said, "Da Lang, add more water to the pot!"

He urged the little kid in front of him again: "Come in."

Sanlang's face turned red, he covered his key parts with his little hands, and stepped into the basin, looking like he was about to cry.

Qin Yao was helpless, "Why are you crying, I don't eat people."

Saburo: Woohoo, the stepmother is so scary!
Qin Yao took his arm and started rubbing the mud. She was so hot that she was sweating. She just wanted to wash the two babies quickly. She didn't care about Sanlang's broken mood. She washed the two of them three times, five divided by two. Finished the first time.

The family is so poor that they don't even have a towel, so Qin Yao can only let them continue to wear their dirty clothes, carry dirty water out to throw them out, quickly change to a basin of clean hot water, and wash them again before they are barely satisfied.

Although the clothes are still dirty, at least there is no such strange smell on my body.

When it was the turn of the two older ones, Qin Yao helped them fix the tub and hot water and let them wash themselves.

Special reminder: "Rub your creaks and buttocks more often."

There is no toilet paper here, and there is no paper, let alone paper.

People in the village often use leaves and sticks, and pick them as they need them.For those with a more delicate mind, break the bamboo into two-finger-wide bamboo pieces, polish the burrs slightly, and fold a section at a time. A long piece can be used for five or six days.

Of course, the Liu family didn't need bamboo slices. Just now she helped the two little ones take a bath, and the scene was so sour.

Dalang and Erlang's faces flushed red, they answered with a voice as small as a mosquito, and went into the room to take a bath.

Seeing that there was still some water in the water tank, Qin Yao herself filled a wooden bucket with hot water and went into the room to wipe herself.

Although he couldn't take a shower, Qin Yao was very satisfied with being able to wipe her under the current conditions.

After wiping her body, taking advantage of the sun, Qin Yao picked up a hatchet and went to the mountain behind the house to cut a few branches and came back to make a simple drying rack. She took out the hard bedding at home and knocked it to dry it. Removes musty odors and moisture.
