Wonderful doctor and pretty peasant girl

Chapter 25 The Aunts by the River
The two walked all the way to the small river, crossed the main road, crossed a wide field, turned to another side road, and while talking, Chen Jumin brought Gu Qingya to the river.

Gu Qingya stood on the embankment and looked down at her little cousin's hand, and there really was a river under the embankment.

In fact, this river is not really a small river. The river is about two meters wide and the water depth is not shallow.

Moreover, the water in the river is clear and the ruts are bottomed out, and the green grass is green by the river, which is an idyllic scenery.

Gu Qingya has heard Chen Jumin's introduction that this small river is a branch of the upper reaches of the big river, and it is going west from this road.

The rows of well-built stones by the river were clean and tidy. Gu Qingya and Chen Jumin went down the embankment to the river. At this time, there were already many women washing clothes, washing baskets, washing pigweed and other things.

At this time, seeing Chen Jumin bringing Gu Qingya over, a 35-year-old woman immediately asked, "Ju Min, is this Ju Ling from your second uncle's family?"

Chen Jumin responded immediately: "Yes. Auntie, this is my third sister."

Another 27-year-old woman also said with a smile: "Ju Ling was still such a little girl when she was sent away, and now she has grown into a big girl? Hehehe, these days really go by so fast."

Another woman in her forties laughed "poof": "Let me tell you, you were a fresh and tender new wife back then, but now you are an old fritter."

One sentence caused the other women by the river to laugh 'hahaha': "Xiangqin, your second aunt is right, you have become a child's mother, how can Ju Ling not grow up? But this child The older she is, the more she looks like her mother, with a gentle and delicate appearance, she really looks like a big girl."

But Xiangqin said: "I don't think Ju Ling is like her mother. Her face is sharper and her skin is extremely fair. Sister-in-law Yihua's face is rounder."

"When you put it that way, I don't think it looks alike, especially her eyes, how beautiful do you see?"

"Well, it's true that Ju Ling's eyes are better, but these eyes are like her father's."

"Hehehe, this child really grows up, and he has grown all the good parts of his parents!"

There is no big mirror on the mountain, and the Chen family doesn't have that expensive thing. To be honest, Gu Qingya just took a picture of this face from the clear water, knowing that her facial features are pretty good, but she didn't realize that she had this group of women at all. Pretty in the population.

Hearing everyone commenting on her, it seems that they all knew her clansman when she was a child, Gu Qingya didn't care, and laughed lightly.

Chen Jumin is a smart girl, knowing that her third sister no longer recognizes the aunts and sisters-in-law by the river.

So she immediately pointed to a group of people and introduced them one by one in the order of speaking: "Sanjie, this is Aunt Huang from Uncle Yisheng's family, this is Aunt Li from Uncle Yisheng's family, and that is Sister Xiangqin from Uncle Zu's family , this Mrs. Gui from Uncle Yiyong's family, this is..."

After introducing them along the way, Gu Qingya greeted them one by one. She knew who the uncle Chen Jumin was talking about. He should be the village head of their Chenjiaping (equivalent to the modern village head) and the head of hundreds of families with the surname Chen.

It wasn't until Chen Juling taught her to recognize all five or six people that Gu Qingya started soaking clothes.

Most of these people are members of the Chen family, either Bom or aunt, or sister-in-law or sisters.But there are also two, one is Aunt Taohua from the Qiu family, and the other is Aunt Cuiyu from the Huang family. Both of them have lived in Gaoshi Town for generations.

After recognizing the person, everyone was busy with the work in hand, chatting about things about the parents of the east and the family of the west.

Gu Qingya is not a person who likes to get close to strangers, and she really has no common topics with them. She has lived for 25 years in her previous life, and she is not familiar with the life of a real peasant woman.

Since she didn't want to talk and didn't know what to say, Gu Qingya did her own thing.

"Third sister, what do you use to wash your clothes? This thing washes your clothes well, and once you wipe it off, this dirty thing comes out by itself? It's amazing!"

Chen Jumin's exclamation attracted all the women who spoke: "Oh, this thing can wash clothes? Oh, you see, there are quite a lot of foam on the clothes, and the sewage is really thick!"

Suddenly Gu Qingya burst into black sweat: Can this child's voice be softer?

Aunt Li's surprise attracted more people, looking at the thing in Gu Qingya's hands, everyone was guessing what it was.

As expected, Xiangqin is the granddaughter-in-law of the head of the village. When she saw the thing in Gu Qingya's hand, she immediately asked, "Sister Juling, is this something called Xiangyizi that people in the city use? I heard my husband said, The big families in the city don’t use soap towels for bathing, but some kind of incense. Let my sister-in-law smell it, isn’t it really fragrant?”

Xiangqin's great-grandfather is really the patriarch of the Chen family. As the patriarch's own son, her father-in-law is also honored.

Don't underestimate this head of the village. Although he is not a big official, he can even be said not to be an official, but because he often contacts with officials, he is also a very face-saving person in front of the tribe.

People are like this, the more they see the world, the more knowledge they have. When they saw the handmade soap in Gu Qingya's hand, she immediately yelled out.

"Xiang Yizi? I heard that it is a precious thing. Isn't it too wasteful to use it for washing clothes? Ju Ling, is it too pity for you to do this?" It seems that Aunt Taohua is also a knowledgeable person people.

Being surrounded by a group of people was like watching a monkey in a trick, which made Gu Qingya feel very bad.

She did not expect a piece of handmade soap to become a shocking treasure.

In fact, in this era, there is already an early stage of soap making. She is used to using this handmade soap on the mountain, so she didn't expect that it would be eye-catching at the foot of the mountain.

It's better to explain, otherwise people will think that she came down from the mountain to dig treasures.

Gu Qingya smiled embarrassingly: "Auntie, sisters-in-law, this is not Yizi, it's not Xiangyizi, it's just for washing clothes, it's not such an expensive thing. This is the Xiangyizi that the teacher learned to make. The things that are dug out by the method are not as exquisite as that of Xiangyizi, but they are not bad when used.

In fact, this thing is not rare, it is made of soap clips, honey wax and some herbs from the mountain.You smell it, there is also the scent of honey wax herbs on it. "

Aunt Li immediately took it and smelled it: "Oh, Ju Ling is really right, it really smells like honey and herbs. Ling'er, is this thing hard to get?"

Gu Qingya wanted to say right away: Of course it's not easy to do, and there is no beekeeping in this era, just beeswax is all natural.

This soap folder is not something that is everywhere, let alone palm oil. How can it be so easy to get this handmade soap?
It's just that she was afraid of being too direct and making these women think she was showing off.

After all, rumors are stronger than tigers.
