Farmhouse full garden sweet-scented osmanthus

Chapter 4 Laundry by the River
Respect your parents-in-law, get up early and stay late, have children, wash and cook, do everything well, and never fall behind.Don't talk too much, don't gossip, although you can't talk about a model daughter-in-law, but in these ten miles and eight villages, when it comes to the old Chu family's Mo family, no one will say anything bad about her.

Of course, this one has to get rid of some top products with more unusual ideas, for example, Chu Guihua's grandma Xu.

Chu Guihua couldn't figure it out, what was wrong with her mother, why did her grandma look down on her so much?

If it is labor, Mo's work in a day is much more than the second daughter-in-law Lu's in a month.If it's food, what Mo's eat in a day is not worth the amount of Lu's meal.

But even so, Mrs. Xu still told her that her nose was not her nose, and her eyes were not her eyes.

Chu Guihua knew that she was still a child, and although she really wanted to know some things, she couldn't ask them.

"Sister..." Chu Yande's treacherous voice came from the door, Chu Guihua put the changed clothes into the basin, and beckoned Chu Yande to come in.

Chu Yande entered the room with a tiger's head, hurriedly turned around and closed the door, ran to Chu Guihua's side like a thief, and whispered: "Sister, what do you think this is?"

Following Chu Yande's little hand, Chu Guihua saw that the dirty little hand was holding a few purple objects that looked like miniature grapes.

"This is... mulberries?" Chu Guihua was a little surprised.

Chu Yande nodded, and presented the mulberry in his hand to Chu Guihua as if offering a treasure, "Second Sister, this is what Eldest Sister picked with great difficulty. We have it, and no one else has it!"

After hearing Chu Yande's words, Chu Guihua couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

In this era of scarcity of materials, just a few small berries will become the treasures that children are excited about.

"Xiao De is good, my sister doesn't want to eat, let Xiao De eat!"

Chu Guihua really didn't want to share this rare snack with a five-year-old child, so she pampered Chu Yande's head, picked up the tub, and was about to go out to wash clothes.

"No, Second Sister doesn't eat, and neither does Xiaode. We'll eat together when Brother Nian comes back tonight." Chu Yande is also a sensible child, knowing that he can't eat alone.

Chu Guihua smiled, didn't say anything, and went out with the wooden basin.

There is a large water tank in the kitchen, and there is clear water in the water tank, but the water is used for cooking. If you want to wash clothes, you have to go to the river in the middle of the village to wash them.

I heard from adults that the river in the middle of the village is called Qinhe River, and the river flows through the middle of the village, so the name of this village is Qinhe Village.

Chu Guihua is no stranger to this Qinhe village. She comes to this river several times a day. In addition to carrying water to release geese, she usually passes this river to collect firewood and wild vegetables.

The sun has already reached the middle of the sky, and it is already noon, and the weather is the hottest at this moment, and the villagers usually stay at home to cool off at this time, unless the work in the fields is too urgent, otherwise they seldom do so at this time. come out.

Because no one was by the river, the cicadas on the trees by the river cried out in joy.

Chu Guihua found a shady place with a tree shade, and was not in a hurry to wash her clothes. Instead, she sat on a flat stone surface, looked around with a weed in her mouth.

It is summer now, farmers usually get up at dawn to do farm work, and when the sun rises, they go home to eat and rest, and wait for the sun to set again before going to work in the fields.
