A small peasant girl

Chapter 12
The tired body made Wenzi feel that it was dawn as soon as her eyelids were closed. Seeing Liu Meihua beside her get up, she struggled to get up even though she wanted to stay in bed.

"Wenzi, your clothes were dirty yesterday, I'll let the eldest sister help you wash them for a while, so let's wear this one today." Liu Meihua made a temporary decision to leave yesterday, and left the changed clothes at Liu Xiaoniu's house. She can wear fat clothes.

"Well, thank you, big sister." Wenzi, who was still in a daze, put on his clothes half asleep, rubbed his eyes with his hands after getting out of bed, and finally woke up completely.Seeing that although the cloth is generally patched a lot, the clothes are very clean, and Wenzi's heart is also warmed up a lot.

Wenzi is a bit of a clean freak and doesn't like messy things, so she washes up behind Liu Meihua.Liu Meihua fetched water from a wooden barrel with a ladle and poured it into the wooden basin, put the linen cloth hanging on the shelf in it, wringed it out after soaking it, wiped her face a few times, and rinsed her mouth with water, which was considered to have completed the whole set of washing actions .

Facial cleanser, toothbrush, toothpaste, these things are all there. Although he was a bit at a loss, Wenzi repeated Liu Meihua's actions to wash.

"Morning, Auntie." Liu Meihua went into the kitchen and called the servants, then looked for work by herself.

And Mrs. Liu, the head of the kitchen, got up early to steam steamed buns, cook gruel, and even stir-fry a few side dishes. His movements were quick, but not sloppy at all.

"Auntie, let me light the fire for you." Wenzi saw Liu Meihua chopping vegetables, so she took the initiative to do the fire, otherwise she would stand dryly in the kitchen alone, a bit out of place.

"Meihua, Wenzi, why don't you sleep a little longer, so you can work a little bit more. Auntie can handle it by herself." Liu said with a smile.

"It's okay, auntie, I'll do the work." Liu Meihua smiled. At her husband's house, she was always the first to wake up and the last to go to sleep.Two meals a day, all the clothes of the family, pig food, chicken feeding, and hard labor in the field like a man during the busy farming season. Being a slave, if she is idle all day long, she will feel tired all over her body. Not quite right.

While the fire was burning, Wenzi took a little look at the structure of the kitchen with his eyes: an agricultural stove, with two large pots and a small pot on it, salt, oil, cooking wine, and vinegar were placed aside, and two cases. A large chopping knife and ordinary kitchen knife, several spatulas and iron spoons.A large water tank was placed against the wall, and a simple wooden cabinet was placed beside the water tank, with bowls and chopsticks and some food compartments inside.

"Wenzi, the fire is burning very well today." Seeing Mrs. Liu, who was obediently sitting on a low stool lighting the fire, talking with a smile on her face, she has long been used to leaving unpleasant things on yesterday , living heartlessly is also considered happy.

"Auntie, my Wenzi's illness is cured." Liu Meihua's face was about to burst into a smile. After the Feng Shui dog incident, she loved and liked her third sister even more.

"Is this true?" Mrs. Liu stopped what she was doing, and looked at Wenzi with some incredulous eyes. Seeing that Wenzi, who is usually a bit silly, is much more normal today, she also became happy, "That's good, we can do it in the future." Don't be greedy and bite."

"Auntie, I'm an older child, what are you doing all the time talking about the past?" Wenzi, who was being teased and laughed at, was a little embarrassed, and had already scolded the girl who was greedy for dogs in her heart.

Mrs. Zheng didn't sleep well all night. She finally fell asleep, and it was dawn. She washed up and went to the kitchen. When she heard the chatter and laughter inside, she immediately put on a straight face and said seriously: "Eldest daughter-in-law, breakfast Are you all ready?"

"Mother, I'm almost ready." Mrs. Liu smiled and answered her mother-in-law's words. For Mrs. Zheng, she was more filial and fearful. Who told Mrs. Liu to be a child bride bought with money? The status of the Liu family is really not very high.

"En." Because Zheng didn't sleep well, her complexion was a little ugly. She lifted the lid of the pot and saw the delicious corn buns steamed inside. Her complexion looked better. From the bottom of her heart, Zheng still agrees with Liu's craftsmanship. .

"Good morning, grandma." Liu Meihua's voice showed a lack of confidence. Although Grandpa asked her to stay in the Liu family, Liu Meihua was very self-aware, and she had become the most unpopular person in the Liu family. .

"Good morning, grandma." Wenzi was too lazy to talk to Zheng Shi, but because of her seniority, she called her obediently, so as not to be caught by Zheng Shi's pigtails, who wants to be in trouble early in the morning.

"Hmph." Zheng said this tone in her nose, and continued to look at the rice porridge. She tasted some with a spoon, showing a very satisfied expression. The rice was put in less, but it could cook out a thick taste. It can be seen that his eldest daughter-in-law has learned the essence of housekeeping.

After all, the Liu family has some fields, and there are quite a few males in the family. Regardless of the harvest, at least no one has starved to death.But relying on just a few acres of land, a large family has to feed, and life will be very ordinary. The family's 1.1 meters of grain, every needle and thread, Zheng's life is counting copper plates.

Although the Liu family also raises pigs and chickens, but the pigs have to be saved at the end of the year to be killed and sold, and the chickens have laid eggs and sold in the town for some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea. to meaty things.

"Mother, look at Wenzi's illness has recovered, so I came here early this morning to help light the fire." Seeing Zheng's dislike for the second room, Mrs. Liu hurriedly helped to say something nice. Before Liu Meihua's mother left, but Holding her hand with tears in his eyes, he hoped that Mrs. Liu could help him take more care of the motherless children in the second room.

"Just know how to help, don't just know how to eat and eat all day long." Mrs. Zheng has heard enough gossip about the crazy girl Wenzi in the village, but this crazy girl only knows how to eat and doesn't do any work. People who don't work are extremely hateful in her eyes, so she has never liked Wenzi.

"Grandma, I made a note." Wenzi was very grateful for Mrs. Liu's help, but Mrs. Zheng's indifference seemed to be sloppy as if she was used to it. "From now on, I will get up early to help my aunt with work."
